Nellie Veitenheimer Flies Upside Down in a Plane, and Michael Weisman is Jealous!
Nellie Veitenheimer and Michael Weisman were the best of friends on The Glee Project this year, and that doesn't appear to have changed now that filming for the show is over.
They make video blogs together, they chat on Twitter, and — come to think of it, if Oxygen ever wanted to give these two and pal Blake Jenner and a spin-off show, you certainly wouldn't hear us complain.
On July 20, Nellie got the chance to fly with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, combat planes that tour the nation performing action-packed shows. She tweeted plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, but it was her Twitter interactions with Michael that may have been one of our favorite parts.
Nellie tweeted a photo, " Getting fitted in my G-suit!!!". Michael quickly re-tweeted the picture, and added, "i have never been more jealous. #ahhhhhrgggggg!!" Soon after, Nellie posted another photo of "My pilot, Michael, and I"
"obviously thats the wrong michael..." he tweeted back. "#imapilot"
Micheal's a pilot? Perfect. In that case, he should just take the other guys' place. We can see it now: Michael. Nellie. An air force fighter jet. Thousands of feet up in the air. Performing death-defying feats of skill? Sounds like a plan to us.
When Nellie and her real pilot took to the skies that afternoon, the former Glee Project contender got to experience a number of tricky maneuvers that would make even the most intense of roller coasters feel like a ride in the kid's section of the amusement park.
For example, her pilot did barrel rolls — a move where the entire plane spins all the way around. That's right: Nellie has now flown upside down.
After returning to earth that afternoon, Nellie tweeted an update for her fans. "Wow wow wow. That waof something I'll never ever forget. Experience of a lifetime."
She wrote, "In summation, today is the most badass I've ever felt in my entire life." Not that adjusting to life back underneath the clouds went completely without a hitch. She also added, "Still getting my land legs back haha"

Prepare your plan for an early retirement
You can retire early — really! It starts with disciplined savings habits.
For some, early retirement is the ultimate financial goal. Getting an early start may be the best way to make it happen. For inspiration, meet Nick Hall, who's got a real shot.
On his number
Nick, 26, intends to retire in his mid-50s. He'll need to save a lot and invest his savings wisely. How much should he shoot for? Generally, it's recommended that retirees withdraw no more than four to five percent of their savings in retirement.
On not buying beyond his means
Nick, who works in financial services in New York City, made an important discovery shortly after moving into his first apartment a few years ago. He spent $800 outfitting his new place — and put that balance on his credit card. "The next day I thought about what I'd done and realized that I didn't have $800," he says. So he returned most of what he bought and replaced those items with less expensive ones from a discount store. "That was a turning point for me in learning about how to handle my finances."
On his savings discipline
- Nick started contributing to his employer-sponsored retirement plan right after graduating from college in 2007 — just enough to get the 5% match from his employer. "I needed to pay the rent. But I knew I wanted that match."
- He has increased his contributions by 1% of his salary each year and is now up to 8%. "I plan to continue doing that with each raise or bonus, because it's money I was already doing without."
- On top of that, he puts another 10% of his paycheck toward savings each month.
On his investing approach
- In his employer-sponsored retirement plan, Nick mostly divides his retirement funds among more aggressive asset categories.
- Nick practices diversification. And he keeps an eye on how his investment elections are doing. About a year ago, he transferred his emergency savings to a different fund because of low returns.
- Finally, he also contributes several thousand dollars a year to a Roth IRA. "The goal is to leave it alone until retirement," he says.
Fast Facts: April 15 is the due date for filing your federal tax return, and it's the deadline for making a 2013 contribution to an individual retirement account (IRA). One option: a Roth IRA, in which contributions are made after taxes and potential earnings are allowed to grow tax-free. Check the following table to see if you're eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
|Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)**
|Eligible to contribute?
|Contribution limit*
|Single filer
|Less than $112,000
|$5,500 annually
|At least $112,000 but
less than $127,000
|Less than $5,500**
|$127,000 and over
|Married filing jointly
|Less than $178,000
|$5,500 annually
|At least $178,000 but
less than $188,000
|Less than $5,500**
|$188,000 and over
*Individuals age 50 and older may be allowed to make additional "catch-up" contributions of up to $1,000.
**In this MAGI range, contribution limits are reduced on a sliding scale per IRS guidelines and dollar limits are for the 2013 calendar year.
Roth IRAs allow you to make tax-free withdrawals of both your principal and earnings, as long as the account has been open for five years and you meet either of the following criteria:
- You are 59-1/2 or older.
- You withdraw $10,000 or less from the Roth IRA to purchase your first home.
Withdrawals also generally are tax-free in the event of death or disability. The IRS offers more guidance about Roth IRA rules at irs.gov.
Next steps
Choosing the right IRA depends on several variables, from your long-term financial goals to your age and investment strategy. Talk to a financial professional or a representative of The Principal whenever you have questions. Whether it's help choosing the right IRA or building a diversified portfolio, we can provide information to help you stay on track to reach your retirement goals.

Isol insulation adhesive
What is the point of gluing the isol board to the hearth? It seems to me that with all the weight, mortar and insulation that it won't move. For those that have used this product, did you use the adhesive?
Re: Isol insulation adhesive
I put my insulation boards down on the wet concrete slab surface. Solid as a rock. My brick floor I laid loose on top of the insulation, and they creaked and groaned as I stood on them to build the oven, but they seem pretty solid now.
You're right. It's like the riggers say: Gravity always wins.
Re: Isol insulation adhesive
I used a high temperature adhesive - Kaogrip - for two reasons - mainly to level my slab and give the Cal Sil sheets a 100% flat surface to sit on. Putting the sheets down on the slab without the glue there were many hollow sounding areas.
The other reason was practical - I figured I'd probably bump the sheets and open up gaps when laying the floor etc, and the glue held them in position during this procedure.
Re: Isol insulation adhesive
Ditto Hendo's concerns. Although I just used the plain old Heatstop mortar.

Formerly the Rock n' Sports bar, Blue Dog has rebranded the upstairs Centro Ybor spot as New Orleans-inspired hangout. Its menu features po'boys, gumbo and red beans and rice, along with Abita beer on tap. It's dog-friendly for well-behaved pooches who want to hang by the outside seating. And it bills itself as a Saints bar, if that puts some get-up in your ya-ya.

Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has lashed out at South African President Thabo Mbeki, accusing him of being obviously reluctant to quell the situation in Zimbabwe.
Tutu was speaking during an interview with news service, Al Jazeera on Sunday. He said Zimbabweans "are not happy with the way Mbeki has handled the crisis," and that Mbeki, "chose to remain silent even when Zimbabwe's crisis was at fever pitch".
Mbeki has been widely criticised for his on-going policy of 'quiet diplomacy,' as well as his apparent support for Robert Mugabe. The South African president has also in the past actively distanced himself from the crisis, and only publicly condemned ongoing violence there for the first time last week.
In Sunday's interview, Tutu said Mbeki could have used his power as the current mediator of the crisis by warning Mugabe against dictatorial acts. The elderly but much respected laureate said he will ask former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan to mediate the same way he conducted mediation during the Kenyan post-election violence.
Tutu said Annan is trusted better than anyone else in the world to fill the role as mediator because of his efforts on Kenya and, "the world can trust him to do the same in Zimbabwe".
He said it was unlikely that Mugabe will win the election run off on June 27th if the poll is not rigged. But he said it is highly unlikely that the election will be free and fair as Mugabe has threatened to stage a war if he loses.
Tutu added that Mugabe "should consider a dignified exit from power," and that his retirement will save many people a great deal of suffering.

The announcement last week that West Ham United will be moving into the Olympic Stadium closed a long-running, often farcical episode in London's footballing lore.
The Hammers aren't the only club on the move, though. Eleven of London's 14 professional teams are planning to either relocate, or substantially redevelop their ground (or even, in one case, leave London altogether) in the coming years. Chief among them are Tottenham, whose own designs on Stratford were well known, and Chelsea, who have been frustrated in their desire to occupy Earls Court or Battersea Power Station.

Ewoks now blink in Blu-Ray release of 'Return of the Jedi'
There are few certainties in life: death, taxes and that George Lucas will tweak the "Star Wars" movies when releasing them on a new format.
When the entire "Star Wars" saga is released September 16 on Blu-Ray, expect some classic Lucas changes. Fanboys, prepare to be enraged. The following are a few of the adjustments we can expect:
- Darth Vader will now scream "Nooooo!" twice upon tossing the Emperor to his death in "Return of the Jedi."
- Fake-looking puppet Yoda in "The Phantom Menace" will be replaced by fake-looking CGI Yoda.
And our personal favorite:
- The Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi" now blink.
Yes, that's right. If the blank, lifeless stare of the Ewoks freaked you out, then your nightmares are finally over. Thanks to the marvel of CGI, the Ewoks now have eyelids and blink like normal peop--errr, bears. Hopefully these changes will tide us over until the next format release when lightsaber battles will be replaced by firm handshakes.

RAY'S TAKE: I've heard it said that it's not what you make, it's what you keep that counts. Taxes matter, and over time they matter a lot. Using tax smart investments can reduce the amount of taxes you pay while you are in your accumulation years and also impact taxes you pay after you retire.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve officials struggled last month to assess when economic data might prompt them to raise interest rates from record lows – and how best to convey their intentions to investors.

Don't look for change up on the 17th floor of Parkway Towers, where Blair Durham is determined to keep his pop's legacy thriving long into the future.
While his dad, founder of Bart Durham Injury Law, does sometimes mull changing the name of his firm to simply "Durham Injury Law" to allow for Blair to become the face of the firm – "I'm 80, or at least I will be in March. I'm only going to live five more years, maybe, so it's time to get Blair and his name out there," says the elder Durham – the son says "no way."

After long struggling to claw its way out of the Great Recession, the world's biggest economy is on an extended win streak that is edging it closer to full health. But the new year doesn't look quite so bright in other major countries.
Ray's Take In an ideal world, we would always stay on top of all of the intricacies of our financial lives. The real world seems to work a little differently. If it weren't for the April 15 deadline, I doubt we would ever get around to filing our taxes. Deadlines are good for us, actually. So as we roll quickly toward the end of the year, let's review a few.

Three decades is a long enough time on Beale Street for any institution to create its own remarkable life.

Sardor and Gulam Umarov are used to fighting battles with seemingly long odds.

I just realized that while I have now lived in Hong Kong for nearly a month I have failed to properly introduce you. Allow me to give you the tour.
Between 1842 and 1997, the British controlled the 425-square-mile territory of Hong Kong, which includes Kowloon, the New Territories and over 200 smaller islands. Its proximity to China and its naturally deep water ports make Hong Kong an ideal trade destination.

When yours is a bank that's traditionally had a suburban footprint, moving inside the Interstate 240 loop to open a new regional headquarters is the kind of thing that makes a statement.
Trustmark's newly opened regional headquarters, at 5350 Poplar Ave. in East Memphis, was an attempt to do just that. It came after Gene Henson, the bank's Memphis region president, had been hunting for such a space for years – for pretty much the entirety of his time in Memphis, actually.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Just as the global economy has all but recovered from debt-fueled crises in the United States and Europe, economists have a new worry: China. They see a lending bubble there that threatens global growth unless Beijing defuses it.
The recession that gutted the economy in recent years has, among other things, replaced good, high-paying jobs with jobs that don't pay especially well.
That's among the findings of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, which analyzed trends related to jobs in the aftermath of the recovery. It's one example of how there's plenty of ground to dig into as part of an analysis of the qualities of the economy of the moment, and The Daily News' next seminar will do just that.
WASHINGTON (AP) – For three decades, the U.S. middle class enjoyed a rare financial advantage over the wealthy: lower mortgage rates.

IPOs are having their best start to a year since 2000. Eighty-nine companies have raised $19 billion through sales of new stock so far in 2014. But demand for more offerings depends largely on the health of the broader market, and after last week's sell-off, the clamor from buyers may quiet down.
When the Untapped event at the Tennessee Brewery ends June 1, the fortress-like landmark on the south bluffs will still be tentatively slated for demolition in August.

If it was just an abstraction or a mere theory, it wouldn't have a definition in the dictionary or a website. It would simply be another urban myth.
But with a few keystrokes you can go right to www.glassceiling.com. And the dictionary definition of "glass ceiling" is tangible – "an unfair system or set of attitudes that prevents some people (such as women or people of a certain race) from getting the most powerful jobs." In fact, you can almost see a woman stuck in middle management, briefcase in hand, staring up at that glass ceiling and wondering: Where do I find the ladder that gets me from here to there?
Three years after its acquisition by Argent Financial Group, Memphis-based Sector Capital Management is an independent company again.
Sector CEO Reed Walters led the negotiations to buy back the wealth management firm in the wake of Louisiana-based Argent going on something of an acquisition spree in recent years. Sector also has relocated from Argent's office at The Crescent Center to the Atrium I building at 6800 Poplar Ave.
After months of flirting with the idea of combining with a rival, Jos. A. Bank has decided it is better suited for another men's clothing brand.

On a slow Sunday afternoon Downtown with the Broncos and Chargers NFL playoff game on a bar TV screen, a trio of 20-somethings – two men and one woman – watched the game, speculated about whether the Grizzlies were playing a few blocks away and quizzed one another about their plans for the future.
When Rob Clark and his wife moved into their home in the historic Evergreen neighborhood in 1993, catalog and distribution operations were still active at the Sears Crosstown building.
That soon changed, and for roughly two decades the hulking property stood as a towering, painful reminder of the area's faded glory.
A digital marketing agency is expanding at Clark Tower in East Memphis.

NEW YORK (AP) – Hey twentysomethings, dreaming of trading in the safety of a regular paycheck to start your own business? There's no secret sauce. Instead, founders of three companies have obvious tips: Work hard, network and ask for help.

The technology environmentalists love to hate really could play a big role in saving the planet.
BY 2040 there could well be 9 billion people on the planet. The challenge, as oil runs out and climate change kicks in, is not just to grow enough food to feed so many people but to do it without wreaking more havoc on the planet.
It won't be easy. Farming causes more global warming than all the world's cars, trains, ships and planes put together. The worst culprit is a greenhouse gas called nitrous oxide, a breakdown product of nitrogen fertilisers (including organic ones). Next in line is methane from livestock and manure. To meet demand for food and other materials such as biofuels without turning all the remaining wilderness into farmland, and without producing yet more greenhouse gases, we are going to have to exploit every trick we can.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I want to put an ancient laptop to use as a wireless bridge. My Gamecube
sits in a room that I can't get ethernet to without a lot of effort.
I could buy the Linksys _gaming adapter_ or any of several similar devices,
but I figured this would be worthwhile experiment and I can save some
Here is what I have:
P-I 100 / 40MB ram / 2GB HD - Toshiba Laptop
Slackware 9.1 slim install < 200MB for base install and some networking
1 wired pcmica nic (dhcp server to the gamecube, and perhaps other
devices if I get a hub or switch) - eth1
1 wireless pcmcia nic (dhcp client to my wireless router) - eth0
I just installed the OS and everything is working. The wireless nic is
talking to the router and the outside world. I configured the wired card
as 192.168.1.1 (my _normal_ home network is 192.168.0.0).
Here is where I don't know what to do next. I've got DHCP installed, but
I've never configured it before. Assuming I can get DHCP working through
that nic, what software do I need or what configuration is required to
_pass_ the internet through this machine. I know I'm showing my
networking ignorance here, but I've always used a hardware router...
For this part, I'm sure I can
RTFM, but if anybody can give me a quick 1,2,3 or point me in the direction
of good reading material, that would be great.
The part I'm really unclear on is this: do I need a crossover cable to
talk to the Gamecube (or whatever dhcp client)? If I plug a hub into the
wired nic, does that require a crossover cable, or a regular one?
I haven't bought the gamecube network adapter yet, and I wasn't planning
on doing so until I proved this would work (I can always test with another
Thanks in advance for any tips,

(AFP) / 6 December 2012
NEW YORK The United Nations made an urgent call Tuesday for Yemens political parties to initiate a national dialogue, warning that its transition was under threat.
The UN-brokered power transition deal that eased president Ali Abdullah Saleh out of office a year ago after three decades in power and following protests calls for the national dialogue to produce a new constitution and electoral law.
"The transition is threatened by those who have still not understood that change must now occur," UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar told the UN Security Council.
He warned that opponents of the dialogue were "keen to impede this transition and to profit from instability."
"Many Yemenis expect the Security Council to keep a careful watch on the spoilers' actions and to hold them accountable," Benomar added.
The envoy urged the Yemeni government to "take confidence-building measures to address the grievances of the southerners" and thus provide an environment that could foster talks.
The national dialogue conference, originally scheduled to take place in mid-November, has been delayed after factions in the Southern Movement, which has campaigned for autonomy or outright secession for the formerly independent south, refused to join the talks.
After North and South Yemen unified in 1990, the south broke away in 1994. The move sparked a short-lived civil war that ended with the region being overrun by northern troops.
Benomar met with Southern Movement leaders in Cairo recently to prod them to participate in the national dialogue. And UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Sanaa last month promising technical and logistical help from the world body.
"The road towards fresh elections may seem long and difficult," Benomar said.
And despite progress made toward normalization, the envoy noted that integrating military and security forces under a single command will remain a "formidable task" and a "serious challenge." During the Security Council debate, several Western ambassadors also joined Benomar's calls for talks to begin soon.
"There is a genuine risk of the government not being prepared in time" for elections expected in 2014, British envoy Mark Lyall Grant said in calling for the national dialogue to begin this year and include both women and all political parties. "We see negative actions from certain individual, spoilers who wish to derail the political transition," he added.

Holiday Gift Guide: Thoughtful Presents For Your Kids' Teachers
'Tis the season to totally stress over buying presents! If you're not sure where to start, we've done your homework for you. So get your shopping list ready, because we got schooled by teachers about the coolest — and most appreciated — gifts that they'd like to receive this year.
Skip the sausage of the month club (pretty please, don't do it), and try sweet treats, like Carol's Cookies, for a guaranteed home run gift. Even the strictest dieter caves during the holidays and we can almost guarantee good grades in exchange for these mouthwatering babies (wink, wink). Yes, they're that good.
Group Gift
Don't want the PTA gossiping about your solo present? Get a group together — preferably each family in your class — and pool your dollars for a slightly extravagant appreciation gift like theater tickets or a spa gift certificate. Even teachers need a spa break from the kids.
Handwritten Notes
One teacher, who received an expensive designer handbag as a gift one year, said cards are much better than stuff — even Louis Vuitton. So we save a small fortune and our teachers feel appreciated. Everyone's a winner!
Give a gift that makes total cents (see what we did there?) like Visa or American Express gift cards. You might not know what your kids' teachers want for the holidays, but if they're anything like us, they have a must-have wish list a mile long. Letting them decide for themselves is totally thoughtful!
A Little Something
If your school has a no-gifts-allowed policy but you still want to show your teachers that you care, try something simple like a charity donation in their honor, or buy classroom supplies so teachers don't have to go out of pocket. A little something will mean a whole lot!

The formula is
The starting point for an OBV total, ie. the zero point, is arbitrary. Only the shape of the resulting indicator is used, not the actual level of the total.
The technique was investigated in the 1940s by Woods and Vignolia and presented in a course by them in 1946. They called it "cumulative volume". Joseph Granville gave it the name "on-balance volume" and popularized the technique in his 1963 book Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits. It can be applied to stocks individually based upon their daily up or down close, or the market as a whole using breadth of market data, i.e. the advance/decline ratio.
OBV is generally used to confirm price moves. The idea is that volume is higher on days where the price move is in the dominant direction, for example in a strong uptrend more volume on up days than down days.
So when prices are going up, OBV should be going up too, and when prices make a new rally high, OBV should too. If OBV fails to go past its previous rally high then this is a negative divergence, suggesting a weak move.

Minister of Finance Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala yesterday said she won't resign her appointment because all indices show that the Nigerian economy is doing very well.
Speaking at a press briefing on the state of the economy in Abuja, the minister said indices on agriculture, power, infrastructure, petroleum and job creation are positive and that the Gross Domestic Product is at 6.18 percent which makes it one of the fastest growing in the world.
The minister, who said she didn't have time to reply those calling for her resignation, jokingly said,"did I look like somebody who will resign? I dey kampe."
On Tuesday, Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, had called on the minister to resign her position for what he said was her failure to manage the nation's economy well.
Okonjo-Iweala explained that the recent shortfall in revenue to government coffers is normal fluctuation that happens from time to time.
She said: "Our fundamentals are strong. When such things happen it is not new so, from time to time we have these fluctuations and we have been able to manage it, because we have reserve in the excess crude account. We have not felt the impact, salaries of September were being paid today by the way, and tomorrow we will pay the oil marketers for the subsidy.
"Despite the shortfall in revenue the budget is being implemented, although we experienced some shortfalls in the revenue and oil production but it is normal fluctuation."
The minister said the country's reserves stood at $46 billion and about N850 billion has so far been released for the execution of the capital projects in the 2013 budget.
On budget implementation, the minister said the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) have utilised 76 percent so far from the amount received for capital projects, adding that some of the delays noticed in the release of funds were due to the commencement of the electronic platforms by government.
"Unlike in the past, during the 80s and 90s when such things happened we were not able to pay our bills, but now we are doing it because we have an account to draw from. That is helping us to manage the economy," she stated.
Okonjo-Iweala also said that confidence in the economy has been demonstrated even by some of the governors, by their applications to float bonds. "You can only float a bond in an economy that works. As at now we have nine of them that floated bonds in the Nigerian market and more applications are coming. If the economy is not working there will be no takers.
"There is no economy which is in trouble were you can do these bonds. So it is total mark of confidence and I want to say that we have good working relationship with them (governors) and we are working with them such that these monies they got will be managed in a very prudent manner."

Yeongam , South Korea, Oct 15, 2011 (AFP) - Lewis Hamilton's car and face told two sides of the same story on Saturday as he blazed to pole position for the Korean Grand Prix.
His McLaren fizzed, slid and roared around the Korean International Circuit as he steered it to the fastest qualifying time, in doing so ending Red Bull's season-long domination of the prime grid position.
It is the 2008 champion's first pole since the Canadian Grand Prix in June 2010, but there were no flamboyant celebrations afterwards.
His gaze was fixed and his jaw set as he focused on finishing the job in Sunday's race, and when he spoke in the post-qualifying media conference, it was with an intensity that let his listeners know he had no time for fools or fun.
"I am happy to be here and very proud of what the team have been able to achieve over the course of the last few races -- and for Jenson (Button) to have won the last race and us to be on front two rows again and us the only ones able to compete with Red Bull," he said.
"I am very happy, but tomorrow is what counts."
The 26-year-old said that after a run of five races without a podium finish during which his form, his attitude and his lifestyle have been questioned by the critics, he was glad to have a positive experience at last.
"It is probably one of the first positives I have had for a while, so to be back on pole is a great feeling of course," he said.
"But tomorrow is the most important day. We had some difficult races in the past, so hopefully I'll try to redeem myself tomorrow.
"As long as we can get some strong points for the team -- as they have worked hard. I hope tomorrow we can repay them."

Future farm: a sunless, rainless room indoors
AP/Peter DejongYellow peppers are seen under Light-Emitting Diodes, or LEDs, at PlantLab in Den Bosch, Netherlands. More photos »
DEN BOSCH, Netherlands – Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right.
The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with meticulously controlled light, temperature, humidity, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise, a Siberian bunker, or a sprawling complex in the Saudi desert.
Advocates say this, or something like it, may be an answer to the world's food problems.
"In order to keep a planet that's worth living on, we have to change our methods," says Gertjan Meeuws, of PlantLab, a private research company.
The world already is having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those — about 3 billion — are hungry or malnourished. Food prices, currently soaring, are buffeted by droughts, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, fertilize, harvest and transport it.

Black Blade: I don't see why not other than it being more work and energy intensive (managed lighting). The pot growers have been using hydroponic methods for decades. Oddly enough this is in the Netherlands - where they have "smoke shops" selling various strains of herbal delights.

More Than 1,000 Organizations Now Rely on POLITICO Pro's Exclusive Content
Arlington, Va. – POLITICO Pro, the country's premier policy-based news service, announced today it has crossed a threshold of more than 1,000 subscribing organizations with 7,000 professionals using the service. In just two years since its launch, POLITICO Pro has far exceeded all revenue goals and has maintained an impressive 96 percent renewal rate.
"When we launched POLITICO Pro in 2011 our mission was to deliver exclusive, ahead-of-the-curve reporting and dominate coverage of the most important policy areas," said POLITICO Chief Revenue Officer Roy Schwartz. "We are thrilled with how quickly Pro became the essential news source for thousands of policy professionals working at the country's most influential organizations."
Pros include nearly half of the Fortune 100 list, members of Congress, relevant federal agencies, NGOs, nonprofits and the vast majority of the country's top lobbyists and lobbying firms. POLITICO Pro has seen a consistent increase of subscribers as the service continues to grow.
In 2012, POLITICO Pro expanded from its original three policy verticals of energy, health care and technology to seven – adding defense, financial services, tax and transportation. To support the growth since the launch, POLITICO Pro doubled the size of its best-in-the-business editorial team and tripled its sales team.
"With so many important issues currently at play within the federal government, there is no shortage of demand for quality legislative and regulatory coverage," said POLITICO Pro Vice President of Business Development Miki King. "We're hearing from Pros on a daily basis about the kinds of services and coverage that are most important to them, which allows our world-class team to quickly anticipate and meet those needs by adapting our platform and delivery mechanisms to provide exceptional content and service to Pros nationwide."
Last year, POLITICO Pro changed its website to a responsive model allowing readers to easily consume content regardless of what device they're using. Additionally, subscribers have access to customizable news alerts, early-bird editions of Pro's must-read e-newsletters and news-making events with policymakers and POLITICO Pro journalists.
This month, POLITICO Pro will launch an all-inclusive policy newsletter and a quarterly policy magazine. The afternoon newsletter, Pro Report, is for subscribers looking for a daily update on all policy areas and an inside look at the issues driving Capitol Hill. The policy magazine is a chance for POLITICO Pro – which is used to high-velocity reporting – to step back, look ahead and share some of Pro's policy reporting with POLITICO readers who have yet to sign up for Pro. The first edition of the magazine will be distributed on Friday, March 22 to every member of Congress, the White House and all federal agencies as well as to 160 newspaper boxes and 100 Washington-area Starbucks. Like POLITICO's newspaper, the magazine will be free with a circulation of nearly 40,000.
Join the conversation about POLITICO Pro and its success on Twitter with hashtag #GoPro2013.

Are you smiling more these days? If so, it might be the product of a good cosmetic dentist. It's true. More people are opting to improve their looks, and teeth are no exception.
What They Do
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry states that a cosmetic dentist provides comprehensive oral care that combines art and science to optimally improve dental health, aesthetics and function. In other words, they create better smiles.
A cosmetic dentist focuses on the improvement of a patient's mouth, teeth and smile. Cosmetic dentists use new technology and lasers to perform many of their treatments.
Some of the services a cosmetic dentist performs are teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, gum lifts, restoring chipped and cracked teeth and putting in tooth-colored fillings.
Qualifications and Education
According to the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation, dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level, pre-dental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school.
Cosmetic dentists must complete a Doctor of Dental Science degree program, plus a residency program and state licensure are needed.
Compensation and Demand
Employment of cosmetic dentists is projected to grow by 16 percent through 2018, which is faster than the average for all occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS states that the median salary for general dentists is $142,870. Cosmetic dentists to earn a bit more, though, with earnings varying according to number of years in practice, location and hours worked.
