This morning just before I left my house, I believe I overheard CNBC mentioning that China now has accumulated a cash reserve of over 1.8 trillion (with a "T") US dollars. This number is so astronomical that I don't think I can even partially comprehend it.
As a Solaris zealot, I think our strategy, as far as accelerating (understatement) the wide adoption of (Open)Solaris in China is concerned, should be to explore and then preach the possibility for Chinese national companies to, in conjunction with Sun, develop their own SaaS businesses. This will be a great win-win situation for which I am sure many will be able to elaborate better than I could.
No such joint-venture at the level that I am thinking about, is possible wrt Windows and Mac. OTOH Linux is free and open, but many Chinese companies--especially those large ones--have realized that Linux has a very limited potential and is kinda risky because its ownership is totally screwed up.
To the best of my knowledge, very few, if any, of Linux-related companies in China (in a greater sense, which includes Taiwan) are doing Linux kernel development. Most of what they do, actually, can be relatively easily ported to Solaris. Should they decide to move to the Solaris camp, I believe they will have a better voice regarding what features should be included in the kernel. Plus, with Solaris, the ownership will never be an issue. Of course, Sun has other very impressive collections in its IP portfolio.

I saw part of this series on Discovery a few days ago, and it was very interesting. It provided good insight in how quickly China is changing, both in the business sense (as seen by the outside world) as in the cultural sense for the people of China. It combined personal stories and interviews with business execs into a great show to watch; I highly recommend it.

College Hockey:Capraro's Breakout Night Leads UMass Past SLU
AMHERST, Mass. — Chris Capraro scored two goals, including the game winner, and added an assist as the Massachusetts Minutemen defeated St. Lawrence, 5-1, in a penalty-laden affair at the Mullins Center.
The sophomore from Medford, Mass., netted the clincher at 5:15 of the second period. Tim Vitek circled around the net and flipped a pass to Capraro, who slipped past goaltender Kevin Ackley and backhanded a point-blank shot to make it 2-0 for his first goal of the season.
"There's not a lot of guys playing at the highest level of hockey that see the ice the way he sees the ice," UMass coach Don Cahoon said.
Capraro was also a big influence on the power play. After the Minutemen put together organized perimeter play, Marvin Degon held at the point, then slid a wrister towards the net, and Capraro stuck his stick out, tipping the puck over Ackley's shoulder and in, to make it 4-0 UMass.
Thomas Pck scored his third goal of the season after some nifty puck movement from the forward line of Capraro, Vitek, and Stephen Werner. Capraro ended up with the biscuit to Ackley's right, and hit Pck just inside the blue line, where he fired a wrister glove high.
"We're starting to gel a little more, the lines got changed up, and we played pretty well out there tonight," said Capraro, who along with Pck is creating a formidable tandem — the two hooked up for a similar goal in Massachusetts' 3-2 win over UMass-Lowell last Saturday. "It seemed like we were clicking a little more, and any time I see Tommy with the puck, I know he's looking for me and I'm looking right back. He's a shooter and I'm a passer."
Capraro also benefited from new linemates. He and Greg Mauldin switched up, putting Mauldin on a line with James Solon and Providence transfer John Luscz, while Capraro took the left-wing slot alongside Tim Vitek and Stephen Werner.
In all, 30 penalties were called for a total of 60 minutes, though the final eight infractions were called after the final scrap. Sixteen penalties were called on the Saints for 32 minutes, and the Minutemen were caught 14 times for 28 minutes. UMass held the special-teams advantage, scoring three power-play goals and one shorthanded tally.
"[Assistant Coach Bill Gilligan] generally runs the man-down, and I tried to keep it pretty much in line with what he'd do," Cahoon said. "I thought the kids killed penalties pretty effectively most of the night. And then the power play, we just made some changes yesterday, personnel-wise and setup-wise."
Gilligan was on the recruiting trail, and thus unable to run the penalty-killing unit.
The first period was mostly back-and-forth, with neither team able to capitalize until the final minutes. The Minutemen broke the ice at 18:58 when Greg Mauldin found freshman Mark Matheson in the slot. Matheson slung a wrist shot that beat Ackley stick side, making it 1-0. Capraro picked up a secondary assist on the play.
Winer went mostly untested in the first period, although he made a strong stand against one SLU breakaway. The Saints didn't find the net until 2:14 of the third, when a scrum in Winer's crease ended with the puck bouncing off of the goaltender and in. Drew Bagnall was credited with the goal, which made it 5-1. Neither side scored for the remainder.
While Ackley took the loss, and let up four of UMass' five goals, he did manage a number of quality stops, including two quick ones on a breakaway by Tim Vitek, and the subsequent rebound. Mike McKenna stepped in for the third period, and allowed one goal on seven shots.
The game ended with more physicality, as a small skirmish erupted to the right of Winer's net. Cahoon rushed onto the ice to help break up the fracas, and ended up hitting the ice himself. The coach was uninjured, and successfully separated his players from the Saints on the ice.

Look at the sig 232. Great carry size.
Printable View
Look at the sig 232. Great carry size.
Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm or Kahr PM9 or Glock 36 or Sig P239... Depending on my choice for the day...
STI Lawman 3.0 9mm, DW Guardian 9mm, NH T3 45.
S&W Shield .40 or SA XDs .45 - about an even split.
I switch between a Glock 27. 40 caliber and an XDS. 45 caliber. Nice little heaters.
Kimber ultra 45
Kimber ultra 45
I like carrying my FNX 45. Found a holster that hides it even under a t-shirt and I get 30 rounds of .45 ACP out of 2 mags.
I carry a Ruger LCP during the summer and a SA XD SC9mm during the winter.
Glock 27, Glock 19, Kahr PM9, Ruger LCR and some others
sig c3 or dan wesson rz45 or cz 2075 rami or s&w 638 or......... whatever fits that day lol
Heck-might as well jump in and keep it going. As soon as I cross the state line, LEAVING ILLINOIS, on travel I load up the S&W 40ve and the Beretta 3032 tomcat and every once in a while will pack along the .45 compact. The tomcat is always in the pocket when I'm out of state.
Kel Tec P11/9 MM and a Taurus 738/380 in the front pocket. Always have one or the other on
Carry a Ruger LC9, HD is a Beretta (Me and Mrs. alike)...
Hard to improve on the Kahr! I have just upgraded to one and love it. A friend recently got the XDS....it'd really sweet.
I either carry a Sig or a Sig or a Sig. I love my Sigs. I have the P238, P938, P229, and P250.
Currently,I'm either carrying my Kel-Tec P11 (compact 9mm Lugar),or EAA Windicator .357 Magnum with 2" barrel (a really nice shooter,especially at the low investment pricing). It's fairly easy to carry the .357 Magnum now,despite it's not a "small framed" revolver since it's still in the colder months,but once warmer weather comes and layers of clothing thin out,it'll just be the P11 unless I buy another carry gun between then and now. I'm partial to the .357 Magnum chamber and I dig revolvers,so I just might...
switch between glock 36 and kel-tec p11 depending on clothing,
Right now it has been my Sig P239 SAS Gen 2, but I am looking hard at the S&W Shield especially for summer carry.
I've tried carrying 4 or 5 different guns now and still have the Kel Tec PF-9 on me 90% of the time. Great carry gun.
95% of time I carry a S&W the other time a SA XDs
@ mattdillon
You'll like the S&W Shield
You should also concider the M&P 9 C
Both are excellant carry guns
Have never really considered myself a big person, just don feel comfortable carrying anything smaller than the XD40 I bought as my first carry weapon. I have since found a Taurus PT 1911 AR chambered in 38 Super that I just love and carry it almost exclusively concealed and open. I do have a S&W Model 66 with a 5.5 inch barrel that I carry in a shoulder holster occasionaly but mostly when I am out in the woods for an extended period. :mrgreen:
Walther PPQ .40. I have 5 .45s and 6 .40s along with a pile of others. This is my favorite. Fantastic trigger. Just got a CZ 75 P-07 duty in .40. PPQ still top dog. Sig P220 elite carry in .45 is second.
This looks like a popular thread.
My favorite is a 1911A1 variant called the CZ 97B 45 ACP.
It has a double stack 10 + 1 capacity magazine.
It is a double and single action.
It has an exterior hammer with a spring safety on the firing pin, so I can carry it loaded and chambered with the hammer down safely, called Condition #2.
So far, it looks like the Glock's are in 1st place, the S&W's are in 2nd, and the 1911A1 variants are in 3rd. Good poll.

|Name: Raymond Appenheimer
|Institution: Colgate University
|Sport: Cross Country, Track and Field
|Graduation Year: 1994
|Undergraduate Degree: English
|Did You Know? Ray Appenheimer became the first Colgate athlete in 21 years to win at the Penn Relays. He set a new school record posting a time of 29:12.2 on his way to capturing the 10,000-meter race.
Ray Appenheimer is one of the most distinguished student-athletes in the history of the Patriot League. During his collegiate career at Colgate University, he earned All-America status five times; twice in cross country, twice in indoor track, and once in outdoor track. Appenheimer was the 1992 and 1993 Patriot League individual cross country champion. He was also the first Raider to receive All-America status in cross country, earning that honor in both 1992 and 1993. At the 1993 and 1994 Patriot League Indoor Championships, Appenheimer was named Outstanding Male Performer. The success Appenheimer experienced on the track carried over into the classroom as he was twice named the Patriot League Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1993 and 1994. He graduated from Colgate University magna cum lade with a bachelor's degree in English.
Appenheimer continued his passion for running by joining the Nike Farm Team in Palo Alto, California. He would go on to win the national title at the 1999 U.S. Cross Country Champions and the 3,000-meter race at the 2000 U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships. Appenheimer represented the U.S. at the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Belfast, Northern Ireland and the 1999 World University Games in Majorca, Spain. In 2000, he qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 5,000-meter race positing a time of 13:28.99.
Colgate University formally recognized Appenheimer's accomplishments by inducting him into the Colgate Athletics Hall of Honor in 2001. In 2004, Appenheimer joined Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio as an assistant coach. He just completed his fourth season as the head men and women's track and field coach and his sixth season as the head coach for the cross country program. He was recently named the 2009-2010 North Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year after leading the women's indoor track and field team to their first NCAC Indoor Championship in school history. Appenheimer currently resides in Oberlin with his wife, Margaret, and their two sons, Peter and Owen.
Q: What factors helped in your decision to attend Colgate University?
A: My older brother Tom initially looked at Colgate, which piqued my interest. It was the best academic institution I was admitted to, and it afforded me the opportunity to compete at a high level.
Q: Who were your sports idols growing up and why?
A: As a kid growing up in Buffalo, NY in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was a big baseball fan. I always liked the grittier, eye-black wearing types like Kirk Gibson, Graig Nettles and Dave Concepcion.
Q: What was your proudest on-the-field accomplishment?
A: There were two. The first was finishing seventh at the 1993 NCAA Cross Country Championships, and being the first American finisher in that race. The meet was at Lehigh, which was something of a "home" course for me. Having a big portion of my team come down, along with a slew of alums, on top of the vocal folks from Lehigh, made the whole experience very special.
The second was winning the Distance Medley Relay my junior year at the Indoor Patriot League Conference Meet at Bucknell. It came at the end of a long day - I had won the mile and 1000-meter races earlier in the meet. I received the baton in second place 30 meters behind a very good runner from Bucknell named Tom Eagleson. Art Goulden's Bucknell team had lined the track waving and swinging their orange towels to spur him on in support. I was able to catch and pass Tom with just over a lap to go. It was a lot of fun to see the towels go away that last lap and finish into the arms of my teammates, Jordan Levine, Chris Nichols and Omar Nixon.
Q: What was your proudest academic accomplishment?
A: What I am most proud of is having been able to be part of what was for me a transformative intellectual process. Colgate took a young man from an all-boys Catholic high school from Buffalo, NY and helped me think critically about myself, about others, and about the world. Colgate taught me that very often asking the right question is more important than having the right answer.
Q: How were you able to balance the demands in the classroom with the demands of being an athlete?
A: Whether it was running or academics, I always wanted to do my best. In that vein, running a hundred miles a week and reading for four to five hours a day on top of time spent in class, really complimented each another. I never really thought that one was detracting from the other. I guess it came down to time management. Most nights, I turned out the lights at 11:00, regardless of what reading was left to do. If I didn't finish my work it was likely I had wasted time before that. It was a mistake I tried not to make very often.
Q: How did your experience as a student-athlete prepare you for life after college?
A: How didn't it? To this day, the choices I make and the way in which I live my life have been informed largely by my experiences as a student-athlete. I am more self-confident, more resilient and more willing to take risks because of the lessons I learned as a student-athlete at Colgate. I am willing to accept failure as part of the learning process, to learn from my mistakes and move on because this was what running is all about. The journey taught me about delayed gratification, and about how a good day's work is an end in itself (and not always a means to an end). Persevering when your body is telling you to quit, recovering from disappointments to come out swinging the next time, committing and sticking with something even when the payoff seems so far away, being gracious in both victory and defeat - this is what is lasting. This knowledge has made me a better student, teacher, coach, husband and father.
Q: In addition to earning All-America status on five different occasions, you were twice named the Patriot League Male Scholar Athlete of the Year; is there one you're most proud of?
A: No, not really. Both accomplishments speak to what I wanted out of my four years at Colgate - to better myself, to challenge myself, and to become the best me I could be.
Q: What was it like traveling around the world and competing?
A: These were experiences I will cherish forever. Representing the United States at the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Belfast, North Ireland, and the World University Games on the island of Majorca, were incredible honors.
Q: If you could go back to college and compete one more time, where would it be and against whom?
A: I would love to go back in time to my sophomore year and take on the 1991 Bucknell Men's Cross Country team at Van Courtland Park in New York City. That year they scored a perfect fifteen points at the conference meet. I finished sixth that day and had an opportunity to break up their sweep. Physically, I was ready to run with their best guys, but mentally I found myself rather intimidated by them. In the realm of "if I knew then what I know now," I would have silenced whatever doubts were creeping into my head that day and stuck it out. Of course getting my butt kicked by those guys was a great learning experience for me. I was able to win the next two Patriot League Championships in cross country because of the lessons I learned from screwing up so badly in that one.
Q: How did it feel to be inducted into Colgate University's Hall of Honor?
A: It was a very humbling honor. The best part of the evening was sharing the moment with my wife, my mom and dad, my coach Arthur McKinnon, and with my teammates Brett Gerry, Craig Hempstead and Jordan Levine who came out to Hamilton for the event. In the speech they let me give I remember talking about how none of my accomplishments would have been possible without Arthur McKinnon. He was the perfect collegiate coach for me and always seemed to understand what buttons to press to get the most out of me. His leadership, his guidance and his willingness to work with me (I was rather headstrong earlier in my time there) were instrumental not only in my success at Colgate, but also in me entering the coaching profession.
Q: Was it difficult making the transition from competitor to coach?
A: No, not really. In many ways my athletic career exceeded my expectations. I wasn't one of those guys trying to hang on for one more year. While there is a part of me that will always miss training and competing at a high level, I guess I looked at the end of my competitive career, not as a loss, but as an opportunity to do new things and to dedicate my energies to the next great things in my life. For me, these have been my marriage, my family and my position as Director of Cross Country and Track and Field at Oberlin College. As schmaltzy as it sounds, I am a very lucky man to be able to give back to the sport and endeavor that gave so much to me.
Q: If you had to offer current student-athletes some words of wisdom what would they be?
A: To make the most of this incredible opportunity. The four years they get to commit being student-athletes can be life-changing. Now this doesn't just happen by osmosis - by just showing up to practice every day. You need to see and believe in the importance of what you are doing. You need to commit to working hard all the time and love the process. You need to understand that whatever sacrifices you feel you are making today are going to be paid back to you ten-fold down the line. The immediate hope is that all of this will make you better at whatever athletic endeavor you are a part of. The long-term certainty is that if you do this you will be primed for a more dynamic and fulfilled life beyond your four years of college.
Q: Do you still follow Colgate athletics?
A: Absolutely! It's a bookmarked link on my laptop.
Q: Looking back, what does it mean to you to have been a Patriot League student-athlete?
A: As I reread what I have written above, it is pretty clear to me that it has meant quite a lot. Much of who I am as an adult was shaped by my experience as a student-athlete at Colgate. These are memories, opportunities and relationships that I will cherish forever.

Intel Is Reportedly Going To Destroy The Cable Model By Offering People The Ability To Subscribe To Individual Channels - Business Insider
For the first time, consumers will be able to subscribe to content per channel, unlike bundled cable services, and you may also be able to subscribe per show as well. Intels set-top box will also have access to Intels already existing app marketplace for apps, casual games, and video on demand.
Leveraging the speed of current broadband, and the vast shared resources of the cloud, Intel plans to give customers the ability to use Cloud DVR, a feature intended to allow users to watch any past TV show at any time, without the need to record it ahead of time, pause live tv, and rewind shows in progress.
It's an interesting read but that's the key paragraph.

Say I have a number with a fractional exponent, $10^{\frac{1}{3}}$. Could this number be considered a logarithm, even though it is not written as $10^{0.\overline{3}}$?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The question "What is $\log_bx$?" is equivalent to "What power do I need to raise $b$ to in order to get $x$?"
The question "What is $\sqrt[n]{x}$ ($=x^{\frac1n}$)?" is equivalent to "What number should I raise to the power $n$ in order to get $x$?"
They are both questions about an equation of the form $a^b=c$. That being said, I wouldn't call $10^\frac13$ a logarithm.
$10^{\frac{1}{3}}$ and indeed $x^{\frac{1}{n}}$ for integer $n\gt 1$ can be called a root, as they are $\sqrt[3]{10}$ or $\sqrt[n]{x}$.
Looking at $10^{\frac{1}{3}}$, you can say that $\frac{1}{3}$ is its (base $10 \,$ or common) logarithm.

A new paranormal device is available to purchase this summer. Paranormal Playground group leader and Paranormal Examiner John Albrecht developed a new trigger object to use on paranormal investigations.
OTTO is a limited edition glow-in-the-dark stuffed plush toy ghost that features a built-in EMF meter with a vibration detector that has an audio alarm and also includes a wireless key-chain remote for arming and disarming the device. OTTO is an acronym for Oracle Toy Trigger Object. Albrecht got the idea for the trigger object while on an investigation with Xtreme Paranormal investigator Jim Coffman at Sedamsville Rectory in Cincinnati, Ohio on September 14, 2012.
A trigger object is something that is used by paranormal investigators to entice spirits to interact with them in hopes that the ghosts will manifest. Trigger objects can be used on a paranormal investigation in a number of ways. An investigator can have the trigger object with them during their investigation or they can leave it in an empty room with cameras and audio equipment set up to monitor it.
When the device is triggered or moved, the vibration sensor triggers a 120 decibel alarm that lasts for approximately 30 seconds. Investigators can use the wireless key-chain remote to arm and disarm the object nearly anywhere in the house.
OTTO is the only paranormal trigger objecht on the market that features both EMF and vibration detection. The device also includes a remote control key-chain to activate or deactivate the alarm. There are similar trigger objects available that detect electromagnetic fields but they are expensive and are selling for $120 and up. There is also lower priced OTTO model that features vibration detection only.
Both OTTO models can be purchased on Albrecht's website or his eBay store for $79.99 or $99.99. Orders will begin shipping on August 1. Pre-order one now by clicking here.
OTTO EMF & Vibration Detection $99.99
OTTO Vibration Detection $79.99

To mark its 125th anniversary, Yamaha will introduce several new products and promotions at the 2013 NAMM Show, the largest musical industry trade convention in the United States, held January 24 to 27 in Anaheim, California. The new instruments and sound reinforcement equipment demonstrate the company's ability to introduce innovations across a wide range of categories from concert grand pianos to portable PA systems and from acoustic guitars to sophisticated digital keyboards. An important component of Yamaha's longevity is the company's ability to keep pushing the bounds of technology, as indicated by the large number of patents it continually receives and the company's ability to reinvent instrument categories.
Yamaha's exhibit will fill the Marquis Ballroom at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel, adjacent to the Anaheim Convention Center. As in years past, Yamaha will broadcast live, high-definition video from its display throughout the show at http://www.yamaha.com/namm. During the show, Yamaha will deploy several handheld HD cameras that will stream individual feeds to the company's NAMM site. The video feed will provide product spotlights, interviews and image galleries online and on-demand to desktop and laptop computers, as well as mobile phones and tablets.
"During this anniversary year for Yamaha, the NAMM Show takes on special importance as we showcase the company's past, present and future," said Mr. Tak Nakata, president, Yamaha Corporation of America. "We are very proud of this achievement and look forward to sharing our passion for creating the finest musical products with our valued dealers, artists and customers."
Yamaha's history dates to 1887, when Torakusu Yamaha took on the task of repairing a reed organ. After studying the instrument, he decided to build one of his own and his success led the company to manufacture grand pianos, which remain Yamaha's flagship product. To commemorate the anniversary, Yamaha will showcase some of the iconic instruments from its past, including a pre-1900's reed organ, turn of the century pianos and the DX7, the first affordable synthesizer that had a major impact on music in the 1980's, along with guitars, mixing boards and other important items from the company's archives.
- Rollouts of the products and services mentioned above will differ depending on country and region.
About Yamaha Corporation
Since its founding in 1887, the Yamaha Group has developed its business activities focusing on musical instruments, audio products, Yamaha music schools, and other products and services related to sound and music. We are pleased, indeed, that Yamaha touches on the lives of and brings joy to so many people around the world.

I am competing at Yorkshire HOYS in September but my horse sticks his tounge out all the time. He is only 4 and I dont want to put him in anything harsh. Is there anything I could try? I have put him in a flash but that didnt work.

Try the bit your in, but rubber coat it or make it a happy mouth, use a flash tightly done up or even try a grackle, if they are properly used they wont be too harsh. =]
23 August 2008 01:06
maybe a bit with something for him to play with on would stop him sticking his tounge out? just a thought x
22 August 2008 20:49
I know a pony like this he sticks his tongue out all the time but its not his fault its because his tongues too big for his mouth. Judges wont take any marks off if thats the cause because it's natural and theres nothing that can be done!

Horses Naturally
Make sure he his comfortable and has habituated to wearing a bit. Take a moment to imagine what it would be like to carry a piece of metal in your mouth yourself. Horses cannot vomit and so avoiding swallowing something that is either toxic or indigestable is essential to survival. Get a qualified behaviourist to show you how to reintroduce the bit to your horse to avoid problems in the future.

The sweet-voiced Haroula Rose is an LA based singer who meshes together a dreamy mix of folk, indie, and at times, a little tinge of country. The sparse palette her music resides on makes her a great candidate for some amazing remixes as well, such as the Luke Top remix we posted a few months back for "Close My Eyes To See." Gorgeous. The original track is off of Haroula's first album, These Open Roads, which released in 2011. At the moment, she is working on her April slated EP, So Easy, as well as her sophomore album.
We caught up with Haroula during this year's SXSW Music Festival and gathered some fun tidbits to help folks get a little more acquainted with the talented lady.
Haroula's biographies often note her first instrument, the violin, being given to her at age eight. What might not be as widely known is that the Chicago suburb native was drawn to music and performance a bit earlier. She notes,
"I was making mix tapes since I was like 7 years old and running around the house performing. I guess I do it because it has always been something that makes me feel alive and connected. I have tried doing all kinds of different jobs, but nothing came close to feeling right. I love making films too, especially when music is directly involved."
Sounding something like a carefree float embodied, Haroula describes he music as lyrical. "Words and their marriage to melody is a mystery I enjoy," she says. What a beautiful way to put it.
Connectedness indeed seems to be a core ideal for Haroula. Instead of naming any one work as defining, she enjoys the meanings each one uniquely provides to all her listeners:
"I like when you can set songs free into the world and they live their own lives. I love it when people come up to me after a show and tell me which songs speak to them and why. That is really cool."
When it comes to stretching herself, the singer has no problem trying to do "things that seem scary or uncomfortable" – to an extent. As such, you may be able to expect some Spanish and Greek tunes from the lady in the near-ish future.
To close, Haroula shared her SXSW highlight:
"Getting stranded out in another part of town after the Edward Sharpe and Mumford and Sons show at LBJ lawn. These two college students gave my friend and I a ride back to the main drag. The kindness of strangers – that is what it's all about. I also had a nice time getting to know new artists and spending time with old friends I don't get to see all the time."

November 30th is the 48th Saturday of the year, but there's a much bigger picture than that occurring across the Chicago area and the rest of the United States: it's Small Business Saturday.
At first glance, you might see irony in the fact that the day geared toward exhorting shoppers to patronize small business is the brainchild of American Express, a multibillion-dollar titan.
In truth, the "multibillion" designation only hints at its magnitude: in 2012, the company recorded $888 billion in worldwide billed business (spending on American Express® Cards, including Cards issued by third parties).
Scratch a bit beneath the surface, though, and consider that much of that astronomical tally flows from small businesses. American Express, then, is a huge business with a mind-boggling array of tiny roots. Likewise, it behooves any small business—and these can include operations that are well beyond mom-and-pop proportions and have hundreds of employees—to market the day as the post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping sprint begins in earnest.
You need not have a retail storefront to tap into the Small Business Saturday movement. Service providers, from computer repair shops to massage therapists, are very much in the mix. So are home-based businesses, which are rising in popularity for a variety of reasons, including the flexibility it affords for those who need to balance other family needs, such as providing care for older or younger relatives.
Health and beauty products are especially attractive niches for those seeking to augment their income. Through seminars and other training tools, World Wide DreamBuilders and other Amway Approved Providers give ample opportunity, through the Nutrilite and ARTISTRY brands in particular, to those seeking to launch their own small business.
Like so many multi-level marketing businesses, Amway for years has added online shopping to the mix. If your business is not already online, it may well be time to incorporate that shopping component, then promote it heavily to tap into the eco-consciousness of the marketplace.
That was the angle voiced this Tuesday by Michelle Donat, owner of Relaxation Plantation in Oak Park, the near-west suburb of Chicago. In a savvy move, she reminded members of her local business-networking group, OPRF Partners, of the online purchasing option on her website.
(OPRF Partners is a chapter of Business Network International, a renowned organization that for nearly 30 years has helped thousands of small-business owners to flourish through its principle of "givers gain"--last year to the tune of more than $3.3 billion.)
Another incentive that small businesses should not overlook: the cause-and-effect relationship between shopping locally and retaining those shops that offer convenience and a personal touch well beyond anything that "big box" retailers could offer. As the statement declares near the entrance to CarefulPeach Boutique, a shop in Downtown Oak Park: "If you buy here, we will be here."

C-USA SAAC Mission Statement
To provide a forum for student-athlete to express ideas, concerns, and opinions relating to NCAA and Conference legislation as well as other issues that affect their welfare. Maintain a positive environment that fosters a healthy relationship between athletic administrators and student-athletes. Provide an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among student-athletes and community service.
About C-USA SAAC
In 1998, the NCAA adopted proposal No. 98-99 which mandated that Division I conferences have a student-athlete advisory committee, thus Conference USA SAAC was formed. The Committee consists of twelve members (one from each institution). One of the twelve members serves as Chair and one member serves as Vice Chair. The Committee meets five times a year, including one in-person meeting. The Committee provides insight on the student-athlete experience and offers input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes' lives within Conference USA. The Committee functions to strengthen the communication between the campus and national committees. The Committee reviews all issues relating to the student-athlete experience and welfare. Through increased communication and networking, the SAAC hopes to better represent the views of all student-athletes.

Is the next "Bachelor" Chris Soules or Arie Luyendyk, Jr.? According to Reality Steve, filming for the 2015 season is already underway and Iowa farmer Chris Soules was picked to be ABC's leading man. Last week, Steve tweeted that Soules signed a contract and would be handing out roses next year.
"The Bachelor" typically premieres in January, but ABC has not confirmed a start date and a formal announcement about the show's lead has not been made. It is likely that the network is waiting until "Bachelor in Paradise" ends to confirm who the "Bachelor" is. For now, we'll take what Reality Steve says as gospel because, for the most part, his spoilers are correct.
It's official. Chris Soules will be the next "Bachelor." Signed contract couple days ago & been filmed the last 2 days in Iowa — @RealitySteve
On Tuesday, Reality Steve dedicated a few paragraphs to Soules and his new role as "The Bachelor" stating that film crews were in Iowa over the weekend filming the farmer in his hometown. Steve states that Soules was "filmed at the Franklin Hotel/Restaurant in Strawberry Point (where production stayed), a bar in Arlington called the Wagon Wheel, and was also filmed at the Iowa State Fair this past weekend."
Soules, 32, won the hearts of many fans when he appeared on the most recent season of "The Bachelorette." He fell for Andi Dorfman, but she sent him home during the overnight dates. Unlike Nick Viall and winner Josh Murray, Soules did not get to spend time with Andi in the Fantasy Suite. He was a true gentleman on the show, something that might be refreshing for viewers to see when he takes on the role of the guy who hands out roses.
Will it be difficult to cast women for the upcoming season of "The Bachelor"? If Chris Soules is indeed ABC's chosen one, it's likely that women will be flocking to the casting calls to get a chance at love with the smart and very handsome farmer. While not every woman has a dream of becoming a homemaker, there are many who just want a good guy who wants a wife and family. Sounds like ABC finally made a great choice.

We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely Apartment. It was 100 % clean and tidy when we arrived.
We were met at the airport by Patricia, our very nice and helpfull host. She took us directly to the Apartment where we also were greeted with a botlle of local red wine :)
The apartment is warm and sunny and is located very near the Sé Cathedral, a walk of apx. 20 minutes to Rua Augusta, the main shopping street.
Only thing to keep in mind is that it is an attick with slanted walls !!
The apartment was very nice and everything we expected after reviewing photographs and comments from other tenants. Welcome to our arrival so friendly, both as Mauro Nuno were very helpful to us and we had no problem.
El piso fue muy agradable y todo lo que esperábamos después de revisar las fotografías y los comentarios de otros inquilinos. La recepción a nuestra llegada muy amables, tanto Nuno como Mauro fueron muy atentos con nosotros y no tuvimos ningún problema.
All the best !!!!
Alles bestens!!!!
very nice and simpatic guest. thank you very much!
A really great ausgestettetes Appartment.Mit great attention has been combined with new age. From the outside you do not expect what you then place indoors. Only disappointment was that the bedrooms do not have windows! And the whole house is very loud. Class is the location of the center of life in Lisbon.
Ein ganz toll ausgestettetes Appartment.Mit viel Liebe ist alt mit neu kombiniert worden. Von aussen erwartet man nicht was man dann drinnen findet. Schade war nur das die Schlafzimmer keine Fenster haben ! Und die ganze Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig. Klasse ist der Standort mitten im Leben von Lissabon.
The apartment is very well located, central and has very good access to public transportation. We enjoyed everything very much. Keys was very reliable and the apartment clean.
The location is quiet, yet all the shops available. The interior is cozy and not too cluttered, yet also practical and useful for 5 people.
In good weather, life is naturally everywhere easy and enjoyable! Lisbon was overall a great experience and we are here at this establishment right in the middle. We are happy to think back to the time.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, zentral und man hat sehr gute Anbindung an alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. Uns hat alles sehr gefallen. Schlüsselübergabe war sehr zuverlässig und die Wohnung sauber.
Die Lage ist ruhig und trotzdem alle Geschäfte vorhanden. Die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und nicht zu überladen, aber trotzdem auch praktisch und nützlich für 5 Leute.
Bei gutem Wetter ist das Leben natürlich überall easy und angenehm! Lissabon war insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis und man ist hier in dieser Unterkunft mitten drin. Wir werden gerne an die Zeit zurückdenken.
Nice and clean apartment, perfect for 2 people, a little cramped for 4 people. Amenities (WiFi, TV, kitchen, bed, etc.) are good. Toilet / shower room small but functional. Nice terrace overlooking the city. Centrally situated in a quiet alley in 2min walk from Metro Square.
Mooi en schoon appartement, ideaal voor 2 personen, wat krap voor 4 personen. Voorzieningen (WIFI, tv, keuken, bed e.d.) zijn goed. Toilet/doucheruimte klein maar wel functioneel. Mooi terras met uitzicht op de stad. Ligt centraal in een rustig steegje op 2 min lopen van plein met metro.
Great apartment, right in "the thick" in Lisbon! We stayed 4 nights here and got us pretty much of central Lisbon. Great city, a journey that tempts to be repeated! Recommended! :)
Flott leilighet, midt i "smørøyet" i Lisboa! Vi overnattet 4 netter her, og fikk med oss ganske mye av Lisboa sentrum. Flott by, en reise som frister å gjentas! Anbefales! :)
Amazing view. Great location. Staff was very friendly.
Friendly welcome, location very convenient with regards to shops, the big lisbon attractions nearby and or within easy reach of public transport, and with all the small restaurants in the alfama district only one stone throw away, a really good choice!
Would have wished the appartment a little cleaner and a parasol that works.Trudy and Martin

Ramona Singer recently filmed an episode of Bethenny Frankel's daytime talk show, "Bethenny," and during, she discussed her recent divorce filing from Mario Singer after catching him cheating on her with a New York City socialite.
After catching her husband of 27 years at their Hamptons home with the other woman, Ramona filed for divorce, but according to this new interview, she may be open to rekindling things in the future.
"I don't know where anything is going," Singer told Frankel, according to a March 10 report by E! Online. "I have myself, I have my friends. I know my husband loves me, he knows that I love him and we will see what happens. Nothing is written in stone, life is an evolution."
Although no one can disagree that life is an evolution, it's a bit troublesome to hear that Ramona, who has been such a strong women, would seem to be considering taking her cheating husband back after all he has done. But at the end of the day, she knows the truth behind what happened more than any fan could just by reading headlines.
Singer also added of the split, "Everything will work out the way I want it to work out."
For more of Ramona Singer, tune in to tomorrow night's premiere of "The Real Housewives of New York" on Bravo at 9:00 p.m.

The Blind Side is a film that works on many levels, but one thing stands out most. Sandra Bullock is a heavy hitter in this football film, and holds her own in the acting department. The Blind Side would be like all the films before it if not for strong performances from Bullock, Tim McGraw and newcomer Quinton Aaron. The Blind Side is a sports film that reaches beyond the genre constraints to become a meaningful dramatic piece.
This film, based on a true story, revolves around Michael Oher (Aaron), a poor illiterate high school student who is taken in by Sean Tuohy (McGraw) and his wife Leigh Anne (Bullock). Their family proceeds to bond with Oher and turn his life around for the better.
The Golden Globe winning performance from Bullock is well-deserved. She is bursting with flair and energy as Leigh Anne Tuohy, and gives the performance of her career. Every emotion she feels can be seen and interpreted, and it feels as if she's not Sandra Bullock at all, but has turned into Tuohy herself. The ensemble as a whole is fun and full of heart.
Sometimes the right actors can make a good film great. That is exactly what happened in this case. Sandra Bullock and even Quinton Aaron have turned what would have been a formulaic sports movie into a triumph.
