Too Much Or Too Real? Incoming Black Professor Says White Males Are The Problem For America's Colleges
Twitter will have you jeopardizing opportunities if you're not careful with your words…or if you just don't care who knows how you really feel.
According to theGrio, incoming Boston University professor Saida Grundy came under fire recently for a series of what some are calling racially intolerant tweets.
Grundy is set to begin teaching in July but some students are already questioning her ethics.
Here's what she had to say:
why is white america so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?
white masculinity is THE problem for America's colleges.
Deal with your white [expletive], white people. slavery is YALL thing.
Then she wrote:
every MLK week i commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible.
Her tweets were grabbed and shared on several websites and Fox News. Grundy made her account private shortly after that.
Some students are taking issue with the tweets. One junior political science major said, "If I'm hiring a professor, I want someone who can relate to all students, all groups of people from all walks of life. It just seems to me that she is just not able to do that."
Another student Ukrainian sociology student said, "BU is one of the most diverse schools in the country, and it actually has a lot of people who come from different backgrounds, and her tweets would just be exclusionary to a lot of those people."
Other students have defended her comments. A student group called the People of Color Coalition expressed their support. One member of the group, studying neuroscience and philosophy said the tweets weren't racially charged.
"I don't think reverse racism against white folks is a thing. You need to have institutional and systemic power in order to be racist. People of color like Professor Grundy don't have that…I'm 100 percent supportive of her and excited for her to come to campus."
Hell, I'd be excited for Professor Grundy to come through too. She's about to shake some things up! But let's talk about these tweets.
There is a lot of truth behind her words. White people need to deal with their stuff. Slavery, as this country knows it, has primarily been a White people thing. And White people, by in large, have yet to acknowledge, let alone mention the lingering aftermath of it. But I think her tweets become problematic when she starts generalizing and labeling a specific group of people. True, White people are the benefactors of slavery and perpetrators of racism; but still, it's slavery and racism that are the real problems here. Not all White, college boys are a part of the "problem population" but racism is the force, the system that makes them most likely to belong to it.
White masculinity is not inherently problematic but racism and misogyny have made it so. Her tweets seem to be attacking the symptoms and not the disease. It would be the equivalent of a Fox News correspondent saying that Black and Brown people are THE problem in society because they make up 60 percent (in 2012) of the prison population. The statement fails to take into consideration the drug laws that disproportionately disadvantage Black and Brown people. It doesn't consider poverty, the heavy and often unnecessary presence of police in Black and Brown neighborhoods and…#racism.
It's all around us. So in that sense, I agree with Grundy. White people need to deal with their ish. And racism is a part of that. But in the meantime, I think we all need to be careful to invest our energy into attacking the system that bred these problematic White boys rather than the boys themselves.
Still, I don't think her opinions disqualify her for the position. Unlike that particular student quoted above, I don't believe all professors should be able to relate to all students. As Black women, there have been more professors who had absolutely no idea who we were or what we experience, than teachers, and later professors, who could actually relate. And while being able to relate would be a nice perk, it doesn't mean that you can learn from that person. I'm sure the students at Boston University could learn plenty from Professor Grundy.
What do you think about Grundy's tweets, were they out of line or did she speak the truth?

Texas A&M Professor Flunks Entire Class For Cheating, Cursing And Spreading Rumors
Many of us have witnessed malignant behavior in middle or high school from our peers. However sometimes that type of behavior finds its way into college buildings. Although bad behavior may send you to the principal's office when you're younger, as a college student your professor may fail you despite the work you did in class.
For example, Professor Irwin Horwitz of Texas A&M University at Galveston has flunked his entire Strategic Management class for how the students treated him. Professor Horwitz cited students cursed at him, spread rumors about the course, participated in cheating and skipping class. Professor Horwitz's students were so brazen security guards had to be placed in his classroom.
When Professor Horwitz made a decision to flunk the entire class, he wrote to his students, "I am frankly and completely disgusted. You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level."
Although the entire class received the email, many of the students felt it did not apply to them. A senior, John Shaw told KPRC, "I had never had a problem in the class. I thought I had…done pretty well on the first test and then I get an email saying I am going to get an F in the class. It was overwhelming." Texas A&M's administration understands Professor Horwitz's frustrations but have decided not to uphold his punishment since the Spring semester is not completed as yet.
Dr. Patrick Louchouran, Vice President of Academic Affairs, said Professor Horwitz will be replaced until the end of the semester. He said of the ordeal, "None of them have failed until the end of the class, meaning the only reason a student would fail is because he or she has not performed the expectations for that particular class."
A failing grade means hundreds of dollars in tuition down the drain. Not to mention the impact it'll have on student transcripts. Do you agree with Professor Horwitz's or Texas A&M's administration's actions?

$1M Prize Encourages Colleges To Recruit Lower Income, High Achieving Students
Colleges, especially elite institutions, aren't exactly checking for low income, high achievers. Accepting students from humble families, according to The New York Times, means having to take a huge bite out of the budget to supplement their education. There's no incentive — well, until now.
A new $1 million prize, fashioned by Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, just might encourage universities to reconsider recruiting more smart students from low socio-economic backgrounds. According to the NY Times, the award is bestowed to any college that strives to promote economic diversity within its student body.
And this year's winner is — drumroll please — Vassar College.
About 25 percent of students attending Vassar College, located in Poughkeepsie, NY, qualify for Pell Grants, which means they come from the bottom 40 percent of the U.S. income distribution. The average annual price tag of attending Vassar College as a low-income student, after taking scholarships into account, is about $6,000, according to Upshot.
"The Cooke prize is the latest sign of the momentum around socioeconomic diversity — and, by extension, upward mobility — in higher education," New York Times said.
Harvard, Amherst, Pomona and the state universities of California and North Carolina, to name a few, are also making moves to be more inclusive of students from humble beginnings. All have managed to increase their low-income enrollment.
But of course, there are laggards in the U.S. higher education system that need to work on being less homogeneous (a.k.a not overwhelmingly White, male, and affluent). If you do the math, NY Times said, universities cringe at the costs of subsidizing low income students. Colleges spend five percent, at most, of their endowments on scholarships and grants:
"Sustaining one poor student who needs $45,000 a year in aid requires $1 million in endowment devoted to that purpose," NY Times added, "100 of them require $100 million."
"A lot of it is just about money, because each additional low-income student you enroll costs you a lot in financial aid," said Michael Bastedo, director of the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. "No one is going to talk openly and say, 'Oh, we're not making low-income students a priority.'"
College presidents are under constant pressure to meet their budgets, boost graduation rates, and improve their rankings. And although many lower income students are intelligent, they often have lower SAT scores than their affluent counterparts. This can harm the college's ranking.
The best way to combat a money-driven system is to bait 'em with more money. Vassar College plans to spend its $1 million award on its orientation program and scholarships for undocumented immigrants.
The prize, according to Cooke Foundation Executive Director Harold O. Levy, is "the answer" to stagnating social mobility.

10-Year-Old Esther Okade Is The UK's Youngest Person Enrolled In College
When 10-year-old Esther Okade is not studying as an undergraduate student, she loves dressing up as Elsa from the hit movie Frozen. Great Britain's youngest college freshmen, Esther's parents enrolled her at Open University which is a based distance learning college this past January. Despite her age, Esther's aptitude exceeds all expectations. She even received a perfect score on a recent exam.
Although some believe she is too young to be enrolled in college-level coursework, Esther says of her studies: "It's so interesting. It has the type of maths I love. It's real maths — theories, complex numbers, all that type of stuff. It was super easy. My mum taught me in a nice way. I want to (finish the course) in two years. Then I'm going to do my PhD in financial maths when I'm 13. I want to have my own bank by the time I'm 15 because I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people."
Esther also revealed she wanted to begin college at the age of seven. After three years of begging, her parents allowed her to begin her college journey. Esther's parents began to home-school her after she came home crying one day after school. She told her parents she was not interested in attending traditional school anymore because they don't allow her to talk. Since then, Esther's mother Efe began to teach her basic math skills and by the time she was four she was studying algebra and quadratic equations.
Besides her major academic achievements, Esther is also a businesswoman. She is currently writing a math workbook for children titled, Yummy Yummy Algebra. Esther says her workbook will start at the beginner's level and there will be four volumes. Of her endeavor, Esther wants other children to feel special. While Esther completes her college career and business goals, her parents have built a foundation and are in the process of launching an nursery and primary school in Nigeria's Delta region.

Thundercakes Founder Courtnee Futch Took A Dorm Room Baking Business To The Big Stage
With love and butter. That's the slogan of Thundercakes, a bakery that serves custom order cakes, brownies, cupcakes, cheesecakes and cookies to the Syracuse University and surrounding community. Thundercakes was founded by Syracuse University senior Courtnee Futch in 2012 when she was only a freshman. Under her direction, the company has won over $20,000 in grant funding and several business and entrepreneurship awards. We caught up with Futch to learn more what inspired Thundercakes, how she manages college and entrepreneurship, business challenges and success, and why she's on track to rake in millions in the next five years.
Madame Noire (MN): What inspired you to start Thundercakes?
Courtnee Futch (CF): I never had any entrepreneurial goals. A moment of desperation is what launched me into my passion. It was midnight on March 25, 2012. I finally checked my banking account after avoiding it for several months. I had $6.14. I panicked and immediately starting thinking what I could do to make some quick, legal money. The first thing that came to mind was baking. I've always been a baker and was self-taught, but joined the culinary team when I got to high school. People already knew me as a baker on campus so it was easy to launch. The first thing that came to mind was Thundercakes because my nickname was the "Chocolate Thunder."
I made a group on Facebook called Thundercakes by Courtnee. The first thing I made were 40 bacon chocolate rice crispy treats with white chocolate and caramel drizzle. It sold out in under an hour. Everything took off on its own and spread far beyond what I imagined. People have been able to order from a menu and eventually from the website. On the Syracuse University campus, there really isn't too much as far as gourmet dessert options. That was me. Now I am filling a very specific niche in the marketplace.
MN: You've made over $80,000 in profit over the last two years. What processes did you put in place to generate such a profit?
CF: Baking is a very interesting industry to be in because typically there is a very good profit margin when you are running the business the way I run it. By not having a physical storefront location, I am saving so much overhead. It doesn't cost me very much to rent my kitchen. Ingredients don't cost a whole lot. Each of the things on my menu, I only make them when people order them. That saves a lot of time and allows me to be really scant with my resources. I take that money and put it to the side for my education and my salary. I'm paying myself, which is something I wasn't doing at first.
New Poll Finds Most Americans Don't Believe College Is Important
Used to be if you were going to tell your parents you weren't going to college you better be calling them from out of state. But now it seems a majority of Americans don't think it is important to go to college. According to an annual poll about Americans' education views, only 44 percent of Americans believe that getting a college education is "very important." This is a major drop from 75 percent four years ago. This means most Americans don't think it's important to get a college education.
The poll is the 46th annual PDK-Gallup poll, and has been conducted with Gallup every year since 1969. PDK is a global association of education professionals.
Many parents find college costs too high. In fact, only 69 said it was "somewhat" or "very likely" that they would be able to pay for college for their oldest child. In 2010 it was 77 percent.
"On the whole, Americans are doubtful about students' career readiness. Just 3 percent of Americans say a high school dropout is ready for the world of work, and just 13 percent say a high school grad is ready. Thirty-seven percent of Americans agree that college grads are ready for the work world, and fewer (31 percent) agree high school grads are ready for college," reports The Washington Post.
The two-part poll had other interesting findings: Six of 10 Americans said entrance requirements into teacher preparation programs should be more rigorous; 61 percent of Americans opposed using student standardized test scores to evaluate teachers; and 58 percent said the curriculum used in their community's schools needs to change.
Surprisingly, Americans believe in the public school system. Some 64 percent of Americans (and the same percentage of public school parents) says they have "trust and confidence" in public school teachers. This was down a little from 78 percent in 2013. But 81 percent said that new teachers should be required to take a test similar to a "bar exam" that prospective lawyers must take before practicing law.
The pollsters also asked whether Americans believe the country should provide a free public education to the children of undocumented immigrants. Forty-nine percent said yes, a slight increase from last years 44 percent.
Let's ask you: How is important is college?
Columbia Student Carries Around Mattress As Long As She Attends The Same School As Her Rapist
At this point, rape on college campuses is a well-documented problem. And though we're more cognizant of the issue, it doesn't mean that universities and even police departments are doing their due diligence in investigating and prosecuting rape cases.
Unfortunately, one Columbia University student knows this all too well.
Emma Sulkowicz reported her rape to the university. But when they failed to take action she filed a police report against her alleged rapist, fellow Columbia student, Jean-Paul Nungesser.
According to the police report Sulkowicz had consensual sex with Nungesser twice before the alleged attack. Two years ago, on August 27, Sulkowicz said the two started to have consensual sex again when things turned violent.
On the report Sulkowicz said Nungesser hit her across the face, choked her and pushed her knees to her chest, leaning on them to keep them up. He then held Sulkowicz's wrists as he penetrated her anally.
Sulkowicz told him to stop but he did not. She struggled with him but he kept going. And then stopped suddenly without ejaculating.
Initially, Sulkowicz didn't file a complaint through the university because she was embarrassed and ashamed of what had happened.
Sulkowicz told the Columbia Daily Spectator, "When it first happened, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I didn't even tell my parents…I didn't even want to talk to my best friend."
But then she learned that there were two other women who claimed that Nungesser had assaulted them as well.
That's when she went to the university.
"I realized that if I didn't report him he'd continue to attack women on this campus. I had to do it for those other women."
The university ultimately told her that they were not responsible. The same decision was given to the other two women who reported their incidents.
Sulkowicz took her story to the police and unfortunately, their response wasn't much better.
Sulkowicz said, "There's a reason survivors choose not to go to the police, and that's because they're treated as criminals. The rapists are innocent until proven guilty but survivors are guilty until proven innocent, at least in the eyes of the police."
When she filed the report the officer kept emphasizing the fact that they had had consensual sex before. The officer kept asking what Nungesser was wearing that night and was surprised when Sulkowicz couldn't remember specific details which occurred more than a year and a half ago.
When she was done speaking to the officer, he told her friend, "Of all of these cases, 90 percent are bullshit, so I don't believe your friend for a second."
Needless to say the investigation didn't go far.
But Sulkowicz, a visual arts major, decided not to stop speaking about her experience. Instead, she turned it into her senior art project.
It's a performance art piece called "Carry That Weight" Sulkowicz carries around her dorm mattress wherever she goes for as long as she's attending the same school as her rapist.
See what she had to say about the piece and what she hopes people take from it in the video below.

Should You Have To Sign A Contract Of Consent Before Sex?
A new bill working its way through the California legislation will likely revolutionize the way college campuses and students consent to sexual activity. But are the proposed changes the kind of changes needed?
The bill is called SB-967, and it was introduced by California Democratic state Sens. Kevin De Leon and Hannah-Beth Jackson, as well as coauthored by Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal. And according to the language, the bill seeks to amend the student safety section of the state's Education Code, to require college students in particular to provide "affirmative consent" prior to engaging in any sexual activity, including kissing.
According to various published reports, the bill, which has already passed the state senate and is working its way through the state Assembly, would also require California colleges and universities receiving state funds for financial aid to create and implement policies and standards to not only address affirmative consent, but also for those institutions to "implement comprehensive prevention and outreach programs addressing sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking."
As many supporters of the legislations have noted, this bill does away with the often murky blurred lines of consent, which results from tough to prove cases of sexual assault like date rape and when the victim is intoxicated or passed out. Now alleged offenders would have to prove that consent in the affirmative was given prior to engaging in sex, as opposed to the old way, which relied on alleged victims of sexual assault, having to prove that they said no.
However the response to the bill has been a pretty mixed bag. As Emma Woolf writes in her piece for The Daily Beast, entitled Does California's College Rape Bill Go Too Far In Regulating Sex?, the bill has its problems, particularly how -as it is currently written – a consenting couple would have to seek permission for each sexual act, prior to it actually occurring. And by definition, that would make every single sexual act in the state of California rape in the pretext. More specifically she notes:
"But what about regular physical intimacy between regular (non-criminal) students? Are we in danger, in the rush to legislate, of ruining the moment? When I was a teenager, the stages of physical intimacy were called bases: so you might go to first base, second base, third base, or "all the way." (I don't remember any young men checking in between bases…)
Comedians love to satirise this kind of law: "May I touch your left breast?' "You may touch my left breast'; "May I touch your right breast?' etc. Comedy aside, the conviction rate for rape and other sexual crimes is scandalously low, and this bill seems unlikely to right that wrong. The tragic fact is that rape can and does happen within marriages: once again, SB 967 does nothing to address that.
But in a response to those criticisms, Martha Kemper of the reproduction rights and sexual health website, Reality Check, points out in her piece, Is Affirmative Consent the Answer to Sexual Assault on College Campuses?, that kind of thinking belittles the act of consent and the paranoia of those who are being overly sensitive. Instead, Kemper writes about the law's potential to address rape culture as a whole:
"But communication is still important. Young men have been taught by our society that their role in relationships is to want sex badly, and women's is to reluctantly give it to them. Many have never really been taught what is and isn't consent—except, perhaps, "no means no." That does not excuse any man who rapes, but it is a problem. Fostering a culture of affirmative consent among both parties could prevent at least some men from raping."
That is an important point to note considering the US Department of Education is currently investigating 55 colleges and universities for allegedly mishandling sexual assault cases. Personally, I feel like this law is potentially some game-changing stuff here. In addition to getting folks to think in new ways about how we communicate sexually including consent. It looks like it will begin to hold education institutions more accountable. But I do worry about the implication and those pesky grey areas. Like how can expressed consent, particularly the verbal kind, be proven when the people involved are disputing the claim? And whose word will matter more? If the we currently treat sexual assault victims in the legal justice system is any indication, potential victims of sexual assault might run into some of the same institutional barriers and biases, particularly the discrediting women through slut-shaming, they had before.

College Admission Rate Drops! More High School Graduates Are Skipping Higher Ed
More and more, students fresh out of high school are choosing to side-step the four-year college experience — college enrollment dropped 70 to 65 percent in just five years. Perhaps — oh, I don't know — the ridiculously high price tag on higher education could be the reason?
Skyrocketing tuition, according to Entrepreneur, isn't the only reason though. The job market is beginning to restore itself back to health. As a result, high school graduates are jumping right into the job search and skipping college altogether. More than one-third of last year's three million high school graduates decided not to pursue a higher education in the fall. This is "the lowest share of new graduates since 2006," FiveThirtyEightEconomics added.
Those not enrolled in college are more than twice as likely to be looking for a job than their enrolled counterparts — 74.2 percent compared to 34.1 percent, according to a Labor Department report released on Tuesday.
"Why go to college when more than half of college graduates get stuck in the same underpaying jobs as the rest of the country? The only way to get ahead is to start your own business…our education system teaches people how to be employees, not employers," said one Entrepeneur commenter.
While many high school graduates may share the same sentiment, research shows that a post-secondary education still holds plenty of value in the U.S. economy. Workers (over the age of 25) who did not attend college have an unemployment rate of 6.3 percent; compare this to the 3.4 percent unemployment rate of their college-educated counterparts, according to the March jobs report.
"In addition, a college education translated into significantly more money per year (an average annual income of $45,0000 versus $28,000)," Entrepreneur added.
So college definitely pays off, but it's too bad that many just cannot afford it — 62 percent of high school grads, according to Forbes, could not afford to attend their first choice college in 2013. With rising tuition costs and poor returns on investment, it's completely understandable why dropping ungodly amounts of cash on additional schooling might seem nutty. However, in the long-term, choosing to skip college typically has financial consequences.
"College graduates earn 50 percent more than those with a high school diploma. Over the course of a career, college graduates earn more than half a million dollars more on average, even after factoring in the cost of going to school," FiveThirtyEight said.

It looks like the race in Gujarat is a one-horse affair, but the Congress might just emerge the dark horse in Himachal Pradesh.
Mondays' exit polls predict a comfortable victory for Narendra Modi in Gujarat, and he looks poised to to score a hattrick as chief minister. In Himachal, however, the Congress is likely to come back to power in a close contest.
Counting of votes begins sharp at 8 am on Thursday, December 20 and the trends would be prominent before noon.
At least four exit polls the Headlines Today-Org survey, the Timesnow-C oter survey, ABP-News-AC Nielsen and another by Today's Chanakya predicted a clear win for Narendra Modi and the BJP. In fact, these polls suggest Modi will better his 2007 performance and get somewhere around 120-plus seats. The polls peg less than 50 seats in the Congress' kitty. The national party had got 59 in 2007 another poll, this time by CNN-IBN predicted much the same today.
Live Updates: Assembly elections 2012
Most surveys have written off the Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP) floated by Keshubhai Patel, saying it would not make much difference.
All surveys, including one by CSDS for CNN-IBN and The Week, were unequivocal that Modi was the clear choice for chief ministership of Gujarat. CSDS said 41 per cent of the people preferred Modi as CM, leaving others like Keshubhai Patel (8 per cent), Shankersinh Vaghela (8 per cent) and Shakti Singh Gohil (4 per cent) far behind. Even the Patel community opted for Modi as the chief minister of Gujarat, according to the survey.
What has worked for Narendra Modi? His development agenda, which analysts believe has turned anti-incumbency on its head.

Silver Alert Success Story: 75-year old West Virginia man found in North Carolina
On April 20, 2015, a Silver Alert was issued for 75-year-old Carlos Goodman. Goodman went missing in Williamson, West Virginia and was later found safe in North Carolina.
From the news story at WCYB:
We have a Silver Alert involving a man who may be driving to Abingdon.
He's Carlos Goodman, and he has beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease.
West Virginia State Police say he left his home in Williamson, WV, late Saturday night. They think he may be heading to his granddaughter's home in Abingdon.
UPDATE: Authorities in West Virginia have confirmed that Carlos Goodman has been located in North Carolina. He's said to be in good condition.
Minnesota: Legislature Approves Silver Alert Study
The Minnesota Senate substantially revised propose Silver Alert legislation. Rather than implement such a system for missing seniors directly, the Senate amended pending legislation to study the issue.
The bill began as SF 857, a bill which would have created and implemented a full Silver Alert program.
According to Senator Kathy Sheran (D-Mankato): "This legislation seeks to protect seniors living with Alzheimer's and dementia, who are some of our most vulnerable citizens. By establishing a working group of experts to assess whether or not a system is needed in Minnesota, we're making strides in ensuring the safety of our seniors."
The bill remains pending in the Minnesota legislature, according to The West Central Tribune.
Missouri: Silver Haired Legislature Advocates for Silver Alert
The Missouri Silver Haired Legislature has made Silver Alert legislation one of its top legislative priorities for the 2015 session of the Missouri General Assembly.
As reported in the Fulton Sun:
A bill Baumgartner described as promising is House Bill 679, which would create a silver alert, much like an amber alert, specifically for seniors who go missing. She said a system like that can help when seniors with dementia or other illnesses go missing.
House Bill 679, sponsored by Representative Sandy Crawford (R-Lebanon) expands the Amber Alert System to include missing endangered persons, specifies the criteria for being an endangered person, and changes its name to the Amber Alert and Silver Alert System.

Place to Stay
01 julio 2015
The hotel is nice but definitely not in walking distance to Disneyland. ART has a decent system for getting to and from the parks but did not keep the tickets in the kiosk or hotel available. Evening social was a good break from the parks. As a Platinum Elite member requested an upgrade to a bigger room but was told nothing was available for entire stay, would have been fine with at least part of the stay being upgraded but wasn't even offered as an option. Will stay closer to the parks next time.

Shuttle Service

The hotel should consider providing their own shuttle service to the Disneyland park. The shuttle service that is provided for a fee was regularly late and the driver at times was rude. This reflects on the the quality of stay at the resort, even though those people are not under the resorts control.

great place to stay with a family

My family of 6 enjoyed staying in the two room suite. Having two bathrooms and two bedrooms with a large family is important. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. My only complaint was that there was hair in the master suites tub - it was like the shower was not cleaned before we go there. Other than that, everything else was great. I like the breakfasts because of the variety that it offers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile technology startup bMobilized (http://bMobilized.com) today announced an additional $2.5 million in Series A funding from Norway's Alliance Venture, Investinor and Alden AS, which together had invested $1.5 million in the New York startup last April.

bMobilized's cloud-based do-it-yourself technology platform lets small and medium businesses instantly convert their websites into customizable HTML5-enabled mobile sites that look and work great on any mobile device, OS and browser. The current technology platform, which launched in May, now works in eight languages and costs just $9/month including set-up and maintenance.
Both Alliance Venture and Investinor specialize in privately held, early stage technology companies seeking to expand internationally. Alden AS is a well-known and successful Oslo-based venture capital company that invests in a range of industry sectors. They are pleased to continue their support of the bMobilized team given the size and growth of the market, the company's patented technology and its 400% growth in customers since May.
The additional funding will allow bMobilized to invest in resources to better capitalize on current market momentum and further develop its end-to-end solutions platform to help SMBs better engage mobile customers. This will include overseas market expansion, new feature-rich functions, an API for large-volume partners and a pure white label solution.
"The confidence these investors have shown in bMobilized is further validation that our technology and unique market position can meet the explosive demand from SMBs to jump on the mobile bandwagon," said bMobilized CEO Ben Seslija. "Our platform makes it simple for businesses to accomplish this once complex and costly task."
The business need for a service like this is clear when one considers that the number of smartphones in use worldwide totaled 1.03 billion in Q3 2012, a 47 percent increase from Q3 2011. By 2015, that number is predicted to double to 2 billion, according to research by Five Star Equities. U.S. smartphone ownership reached 51% in September (119.3 million users), up 8% since June according to ComScore.
Still, an SMB DigitalScape study of two million small business websites found that 98% of SMBs still do not have sites optimized for the dominant mobile operating systems: Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows and Symbian.
Under development for more than two years, bMobilized's patented technology produces a mobile experience that better reflects the original website's graphic look and feel -- with more functionality -- than any other mobile conversion technology available today. The Automatic Content Identifier (ACI), contains more than 300 algorithms to analyze, detect and convert all parts of a website into an HTML5 mobile version in less than 30 seconds.
The technology also offers more than 30 individually customizable features that enhance mobile engagement, e.g., a contact bar, maps, social sharing buttons, product promo window on home page, etc. bMobilized also makes it easy for companies to promote and market their products and services via Google AdWords, QR Codes, and in-app ads. The mobile site requires little or no maintenance.

Headquartered at 670 Broadway in New York City, bMobilized (http://bMobilized.com) is a global pioneer in DIY website-to-mobile conversion that offers small and medium businesses the most advanced, easy-to-use and cost-effective mobile site creation tools in the marketplace.

Investinor manages NOK 3.7 billion (mEuro 460) under a mandate from the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) and invests on the same terms and conditions as private investors, with a clear exit strategy for all investments.

New York City RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Best Views in New York City
By Viator, May 2015
Spot the tourists in Manhattan by the people with their necks craned, spinning, looking endlessly upwards. For decades, 'build up, not out' has been the motto for Manhattan architects and designers, and upon arrival, you'll see that this was well adhered to. New York is the Big Apple because its skyscrapers are a site to behold, and are practically a landscape in and of themselves.
So in this land of giants, where to enjoy a sunset cocktail? Where to gaze out in the glory of all that man has made? In short, where are the best views in Manhattan?
Without a doubt, the Empire State Building still ranks high on the list of wonderful viewing spots. Built in 1931, this 102-story iconic skyscraper, is not only an architectural wonder but it offers wondrous 360-degree views of Manhattan from its two observation decks. Glass-enclosed high-speed elevators shuttle visitors to both decks, where high-powered binoculars allow for zeroing in on favorite New York attractions from above.
30 Rock is not just the name of a hit television sitcom, but the true address of New York icon, Rockefeller Plaza, and home to Top of the Rock Observation Deck. You'll see New York's famous landmarks, including the Chrysler Building, Times Square, the Hudson River, the East River, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. Definitely worth checking out.
The Rise bar at the Ritz is another stunner. Though only 14 floors up, the aptly named 14th Floor Bar allows stunning views of New Jersey and the New York Harbor, while toasting with a martini in hand.
If these top picks still aren't satisfying your craving for a comprehensive view of the Manhattan skyline, why not consider seeing it all at once in a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter tour of the Big Apple? These trips are well worth the price-tag as you'll see the city as very few have seen it before.

Best oysters for best price in Dallas!by manostyle on 02/03/2009
I'm rarely this impressed with local seafood restaurants. What this place lacks in savoie faire it totally makes up for with it's product. Lively and fun, especially on Tuesdays when it's .25 cent fresh oysters on the half shell (til they're all gone). Ummmmm.....ummm....good!\r I'll be there every Tuesday thru April, weather permitting of course.
Best cheap seafood in Dallas!by lizparham on 11/20/2006
The seafood shack with a mexican flavor! When my parents first introduced me to this little seafood shack I admit, my snobby and somewhat sensitive stomach took one look at the outside and said no way. But I went in and braved it and was shocked to find some of the best seafood I have had in Dallas at the best prices. \r \r The fish tacos were by far my favorite and the best I have ever had. The ceviche is different than most places but great still. And they have a cold shrimp soup my mom is addicted to. Everything is fresh and they run out of things later in the day. I dont know how they do such fresh and good seafood at such low prices but I am sure it has something to do with the low overhead! \r \r Dont be scared off by the outside appearance, this place is awesome for lunch or dinner! Great margaritas too!\r

Historians often have focused on Oklahoma's pioneer legacy, from Indian Territory to land runs, early statehood and the development of towns and cities, but Oklahomans also have helped pioneer aviation and the exploration of space.
Discover Oklahoma: New book focuses on Oklahoma astronauts
Starting with Gordon Cooper in 1959, eight astronauts with Oklahoma background have joined crews on significant space missions that have helped the United States make a huge difference in understanding our universe. Scientists and engineers from Oklahoma also have played significant roles.
Now, the Oklahoma Historical Society has expanded its aviation and space exhibit at the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City. In addition, Oklahoma's role in space is celebrated by "Oklahomans and Space," a new highly visual book by Bill Moore, a former historical society film
"Oklahomans have been involved in all aspects of manned and unmanned space exploration," said Bob Blackburn, director of the Oklahoma Historical Society. "Exhibit additions focus on early aviation and aviation pioneers with artifacts from Wiley Post, Jerrie Cobb and Jack Ridley as well as personal items and flight artifacts that show Oklahoma's connection to aviation and the space program."
The expanded exhibit presents an actual Mission Control support console from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Mission Control Center in Houston, said Dan Provo, director of the Oklahoma History Center.
"The exhibit also includes a series of mission manuals, documents and other support materials donated by Jerry Elliott, mission control retro fire control officer," Provo said.
All this and Bill Moore's new book join the Tom Stafford Museum in Weatherford and the Tulsa Air Space Museum in providing the dramatic story of Oklahoma's aviation and space pioneers.
With brightly colored photos, Moore provides the detailed background and accomplishments of astronauts Cooper of Shawnee, Thomas Stafford of Weatherford, University of Oklahoma graduate Fred Haise, Stuart Roosa of Claremore, Owen Garriott of Enid, William Pogue of Okemah, Shannon Lucid of Bethany and John Herrington of Wetumka.
Cooper, who played football for Shawnee High School, joined the Marines in World War II and transferred to the Air Force in 1949 so he could fly.

Sundin suited up by mid-December?
The list of suitors for
Mats Sundin
, we're told, is around 10-11 NHL teams. The Sundin camp will likely narrow that list down to three to four serious contenders by the end of the month.
Sundin is obviously leaning toward playing this season, and if all goes well in his skating and workouts, he might be signed by mid-December.
We were interested to hear that Sundin spoke with
Tampa Bay Lightning
co-owner Oren Koules last week. Were they talking about Koules' latest "Saw" movie hit, or was this a serious attempt at wooing The Big Swede to Tampa?
The Lightning need to win some games under new head coach
Rick Tocchet
for Sundin to take them seriously.
At this point Vancouver, in my mind, remains the heavyweight because the Canucks not only have the most cap space and most money available to spend on Sundin, but they also are playing some decent hockey right now. Should Sundin sign the $20 million, two-year deal that's apparently still on the table from last July, then one of the perks will be the Winter Olympics, which will be held in Vancouver in 15 months.
Still, the Canucks are far from a lock. Sundin could easily turn around and sign a deal for less money with the cap-challenged Rangers and decide to take a shot at a title from the friendly travel confines of the Eastern Conference.
Time will tell. And that time is coming soon.
Roloson rule
Should the
New Jersey Devils
decide to make a play for
Edmonton Oilers
Dwayne Roloson
, and we're not saying they will, but if they do, consider this: Because Roloson is over 35 years old, his $3 million salary counts against the salary cap, regardless of whether he's in the NHL, in the AHL or playing on the moon. We make that point because if, again we say
, the Devils decide to upgrade their goaltending, they would likely using
Martin Brodeur
's long-term injury situation to get cap relief. But once Brodeur comes back from injury in March, the Devils have to get back under the cap. Usually they could just do that by sending a player down to the AHL. Except Roloson, in this case, would do them no good. Goalie
Kevin Weekes
makes $700,000, so it wouldn't do much good sending him down. Another player would need to be sent down. Food for thought.
More goalie talk
Hard to believe the
Chicago Blackhawks
would still be willing to move
Nikolai Khabibulin
, given how he's outplayed
Cristobal Huet
, but that is what we're being told. The Hawks really want to acquire help at center. The Tampa Bay Lightning have received a few phone calls on veteran backup
Olaf Kolzig
, but for now they appear happy to hold on to him.

I have never admired those who preach one sermon and live another, figuratively speaking, which means I try very hard not to be a hypocrite.
Our grandmothers gave us sage advice on most everything under the sun, but perhaps we should have listened more intently when they were passing out beauty tips -- mayonnaise, milk, beer. Well, I declare.
Stella Poodle is a pretty girl. She turns heads on the street well into her golden years, the classiest aging brunette since Sophia Loren.
If you ask me what's hot this season, I might tell you a smoking haircut or equally sizzling color, but I also want to share some of the hottest styling tools. They aren't all the same in quality or function.
It's so hot that my hydrangeas are fainting, and it's hardly even summer yet.
Why does everybody have to be naked these days, well, figuratively speaking?
Dolls have always been an object of my affection.
With thousands of stylists chiseling, combing and coiffing the locks of ladies from the small town beauty parlors to the swankiest of "citified" salons, I ask myself the same question that lots of first-time clients ask me.
I have always drawn strength from old Southern gospel hymns.
The movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" had most women and more than a few men talking earlier this year.
I am an enormous fan of five-time Grammy-winning jazz artist Diana Krall.
The white Irises in my garden are in full bloom.
Easter has long been one of my most decorated holidays. Mama's love for it spilled over onto me, and how could it not?
Beyond the glitter, rhinestones, false eyelashes, wigs that change by the hour, and form-fitting jewel-tone gowns is my favorite drag queen, RuPaul.
Have you ever heard it said: The older we get, the smarter our parents become?
Thin is in! Well, at least when it comes to the haircut for spring.
In last week's episode of "Downton Abbey," Lady Mary slipped off to York and shed her long coiffure, trading it in for an haute coif.
Love is a word often used lightly, or is it?
A wrinkle in the rug underneath my desk in the library kept distracting me last week.

Ophthalmology reviews in Fletcher
Excellent - never waited more than 5 minutes at each station. Staff was knowledgeable and most helpful. This is the first time in many years I have not noticed a difference between contact lens and eyeglass vision, and each was purchased from a third party.
The price was more than the discount stores but I am happy to pay the differential for the service and quality.
One year later he told me I had a LOT of damage which all looked very old and had substantial scarring. Enough to warrant that it had been present the first visit. When I asked why he hadn't seen it the prior year he seemed at a loss for an answer and decided I should come back for another visit in 6 months. He then casually informed me I had cataracts in both eyes but since it wasn't obscuring my vision yet I shouldn't worry about it. I very much got the impression that he wasn't bothering to really examine anything and just wanted to get as many patients through his office in the next hour as possible.
The environment within the office is pretty awful. If you want to feel like like cattle this may be the doctor for you, but be advised you may not get the best service based on how many other people are behind you waiting to get in.
