What to ask when choosing a financial advisor
Studies find that there are two factors that decide how people feel about their financial situation. One is how well their investments are performing and how much money they are making, and the other is how satisfied they are with their financial advisor.
Our investments performing well is completely out of our hands. It is our advisors job to make the right choices and ultimately make us money.
This is why choosing the right advisor is so critical. The best way to pick the right advisor is knowing what to ask when choosing a financial advisor. Here are some questions that would be in your best interest to find out the answers to before going any further.
How much will your services cost?
This seems like an obvious one, but you want to find out specifics. What other fees to they charge? How often are you charged? What sort of pay model do they follow? You want to find out what the initial fee is, if any, and what percentage they will continue to collect from you. You should also find out if they are given an incentives for selling certain products or services. This can help you weed out advisors who are just trying to sell you things for themselves and not for you.
What certifications do you have?
There are several types of certifications and licenses that financial advisors can have. Some are harder to achieve then others. For example, the Certified Financial Planner certification is harder to achieve, while the Chartered Financial Consultant is easier due to the specifications to achieve each. Those who have earned the CFP designation successfully completed a board exam, so might have more knowledge and expertise. Other financial advisors also include CPA, RIA, and PSF. You'll want to choose one based on your objectives.
What services do you offer?
This will clue you in as to what they can't help you with. Some firms might just focus on investment advice as opposed to complete financial planning. This can help you determine if they would be a right fit for you.
What kinds of clients have you assisted?
Some clients have specific interests, such as philanthropy, social responsibility, or they need help after a divorce or marriage. Some advisors focus on those who are in similar situations as them or around the same age so they can better serve them.
Do you have sample financial plans?
Financial plans aren't one size fits all, but this can help give you a better idea of how they work and help you decide what exactly you're looking for.
What is your investment strategy?
Find out how the advisor plans to invest your money, and ask questions about their plan. There are so many different approaches to investing and this can help you determine if the advisor has the same goals in mind as you do.
How much do you communicate with clients?
Some advisors have yearly check-ins, or phone calls. Some will more involved. Find out where they stand and what you think you need to be successful.

Two teams left: the best of the best. We have done quite a few blogs that break down NHL players' equipment choices. Granted, these players could be wearing mittens, playing with pieces of firewood and skating on shoes with knives taped to the bottom, and still skate circles around us. So, what's the point of doing these blogs? There are a few reasons. Aside from the players with brand contracts, players generally choose their equipment. So for a player with free or relatively inexpensive gear at their disposal, players have the opportunity to find the best possible gear for them. That said, their gear choice is completely dependent on the players' preference and therefore rather irrelevant to us. By taking a step back and looking at teams as a whole, we can start to see trends and tendencies of players. When you see many players or a type of player shifting toward one glove, stick, helmet or skate, then we have a statistic worth seeing. Also, it's interesting to see if NHL players use the same stick that you do.

The fact that I've started this piece with an instruction to "google" a term should tip you off that this piece is being written by a millennial herself. But before you start making assumptions, let me assure you that I'm not here to fight back or blame it all on the older generations.
Okay, okay, I'll do some of that, but that's not why I'm here. The breadth of the "love-to-hate-millennials" movement has me convinced that there is a deeper discussion to be had — one that goes beyond assessing whether we are truly as bad as people say.
The media has used stereotypes for every generation of Americans in the past century, especially when they were in their younger years. Americans born between 1925 and 1945 were originally dubbed "The Lost Generation." Boomers, born between 1946-1960, were said to be a spoiled generation reluctant to grow up. Generation X, born between 1961-1980, was portrayed as a coddled generation that complained too much.
"The Lost Generation" came to be known as "The Greatest Generation." Boomers are now characterized as ambitious and hard-working. Generation X is described as skeptical but self-reliant.So it comes as no surprise that millennials, who are now in their 20's and 30's, are being characterized as narcissistic, entitled, and lazy.
It won't be long until we millennials are characterized in a more positive light.
It would be easy enough to blame society's rage against the millennials on the aging generations that came before us. It often feels as though they're sitting high in their ivory towers, rewriting history.That way, we could carry on, trusting that we will have a chance to rebrand ourselves when we're older and have a new, younger generation of screw-ups to judge.
Alternatively, we can take a look at the factors that led to these characterizations. Rather than pointing fingers and assigning blame, we can focus on what lies ahead.What has the past taught us? What do we want the future to look like? Most importantly, what power do we have now, using all these traits – desirable and undesirable alike – to shape the next generation?
Millennials are Narcissistic
Today's "selfie" obsessed culture has done very little for the public's opinion of millennials. However, selfie or no selfie, the term "narcissist" is without a doubt the most important and regularly used word in the millennial basher's lexicon.
In 2013, TIME writer Joel Stein wrote an article titled, "Millennials: The Me, Me, Me Generation" which immediately placed this generation under a condemnatory microscope and surveyed the landscape for anyone daring to work with or befriend a millennial.
In it, he cited an NIH studyproclaiming that the incidence of narcissism is three times higher for individuals in their 20's than those 65 and older. He also claimed that between 1982 (when Gen Xers were entering adulthood) and 2009, narcissism among college students increased 58%.
A closer look at this revealed some flaws: Researchers gathered the data via face-to-face interviews, relying heavily on participants' memories and honesty in reporting their answers. After further review,a 2010 paper from NIHstated definitively that the incidence of narcissism is not increasing among college students, but simply that all generations are more narcissistic than their elders when they're in their younger years. (Apparently, older generations weren't inclined to remember, let alone report on, the egos of days past).
As Brooke Lea Foster says in her article, The Persistent Myth of the Narcissistic Millennial, "These traits are simply the hallmarks of early adulthood – it's often the first time people are putting themselves out there, applying for jobs and meeting potential life partners. Overconfidence is how people muscle through the big changes."
Regardless of whether or not we deserve to be relentlessly labeled as narcissists, the criticism goes hand in hand with another common judgment of the anti-millennial movement: we're all overly entitled.
Which brings me to my next point…
Millennials Are Entitled
Studies show that 40% of millennials expect a promotion every one to two years, a statistic critics love to rely on in labeling us "entitled". In his article, Stein mocked millennials, saying, "If you want to sell seminars to middle managers, make them about how to deal with young employees who e-mail the CEO directly and beg off projects they find boring."
More so than any other generation, millennials are eager forfulfilling and meaningful careers.
And with the rise of technology and so many companies that have built their success off of innovation, the days of "paying your dues" to advance your career are gone. We live in a world of showing results in your job, not in a world of showing "face time" at your job.
Look at the founders of successful tech companies likeFacebook, Tumblr, and Snapchat: Did Mark Zuckerberg find success by punching the clock day after day, waiting for the big boss to pay a visit to his cubicle? Of course not.
The status quo might have been good enough for Boomers or Generation Xers, but it's not for millennials.Millennials want to work for companies that are on the cutting edge. They want to work for companies that allow them to contribute and showcase their talent. Most of all, they want to work for bosses who believe in them because they're hard-working and smart, not because they've been with the company for a decade.
We believe in merit, and we value growth.
While Baby Boomers and Gen-Xersmay be aware of this shift in mindset, many aren't factoring it into workplace culture.
"This generation has the highest likelihood of having unmet expectations with respect to their careers and the lowest levels of satisfaction with their careers at the stage that they're at," says Sean Lyons, co-editor of Managing the New Workforce: International Perspectives on the Millennial Generation. "It is sort of a crisis of unmet expectations."
In a very real sense, the impatience about getting promoted is not based on groundless entitlement or an over-inflated sense of talent or value. Say what you will about our capabilities, but our eagerness to get ahead has another motivator: Student loan repayment.
Student Loans = "Failure to Launch"
Millennials are saddled with exorbitant student loan debt:the average student loan debt of a 1993 graduate was around $15,000, which jumped to $27,500 in 2011.
Nearly a third of Millennials said they would sell an organ to get rid of their student loans; 56% say they put off big ticket purchases like cars and homes and even marriage because of student loan debt.
These are seriously scary statistics. However, critics tend to focus more on the consequences than the cause, and the fact that financial problems have driven us home to live with our parents is a constant source of ire.
We've all read it before: critics roasting millennials for living with their parents—calling us immature and irresponsible. The truth? We're broke because we invested in ourselves.
Here is where it is hard to deny that the circumstances millennials walked into upon graduating college were far different from those of the Boomers and Gen Xers before us.
We entered adulthood during the worst recession since the Great Depression, with devastating consequences. The overall unemployment rate has been high in recent years, but millennials have been hit the hardest.
Forget that we can't afford to buy cars or homes. With the economic conditions we've faced in recent years, we can't even afford rent.This isn't a case of failure to launch; it's desperation. It's necessity.
Still not buying it? How about this: the total student loan debt in the U.S. is $1.2 trillion, with 2014 graduates carrying an average debt of $33,000.
Hello, Baby Boomers and Gen X'ers: did you start your life with $33,000 of debt?
Millennials have reported in overwhelming numbers that we have postponed major life events because of our concerns about student loan debt. Two Federal Reserve board economists hypothesize that student loan debt was a major cause of the increase of adult children moving back home in recent years.
For the vast majority of students, racking up the debt was unavoidable:research still tends to show that a person's education level is the single most significant factor in determining their income-earning abilities. Most of us grew up with the understanding that if you have the opportunity for education, you take it. It was wise advice from our parents; after all, a college education used to provide a solid path to better job opportunities, and in turn, financial security.
It's now become commonplace that 30% of the U.S. population holds a bachelor's degree. Amongearlier generations, not so much… In 1960,10% of the population held a bachelor's degree or higher, yet today10% have bachelors and advanced degrees. Now, job-seekers wishing to stand out in certain fields have to pursue postgraduate programs, as more employers are now requiring them in order to stand out as a qualified candidate.
Meanwhile, the cost of tuition in America has skyrocketed over the decades, increasing an alarming 225% from the 1984-1985 school year to the 2014-2015 school year for four-year public schools.
In real dollars, that's an increase of 1120% from 1978 to 2012. No, that's not a typo – we're talking an increase of one thousand, one hundred and twenty percent!!!!!
With many unable to support themselves and cover the swelling cost of tuition, student loans are the only viable option to pay for their education. It's a huge gamble, however: Rack up insane fees and interest on loans that will furnish you with the degree you need to get a job that pays enough to pay it all back…Or forgo higher education and pretty much give up any hope of ever landing a desirable job.
So, to circle back on the so called "entitlement"that motivates millennials to seek promotions, hopefully these statistics give you a better sense of the financial rut we're trying to climb out of.Money in our bank accounts won't solve all of our problems – and it probably won't get the older generations off our backs entirely – but it's a critical element of paying off our debts and leaving mom and dad's basement once and for all.
Moving Forward
How we choose to proceed with the current social discourse about millennials hinges on how many optimists choose to participate in shaping the discussion. After all, every facet of our character as a group is subject to a multitude of interpretations.
Eric Chester, author of Employing Generation "Why?"seems to applaud our approach, or at a minimum, our chutzpah: "They refuse to blindly conform to traditional standards and time-honoured institutions. Instead, they boldly ask, why?" On the flip side, some of the more hardened criticsblame our refusal to go along with tradition on a lack of effort or laziness, sometimes even going so far as to suggest that we aren't involved in our workplaces or in our communities. In other words, we're apathetic.
Although specific forms of engagement vary, millennials have matched older generations in volunteering and consumer activism. In addition, we want to make a difference: 88% of Millennials females and 82% of Millennial males reported that it's important to be engaged in work that gives back to the community. A 2006 UCLA study of hundreds of thousands of college freshmen found that 66.3% thought it was important to help others, an increase from 62.4% in 2004 and the highest percentage recorded in 25 years.
If that doesn't convince you, an incredible 84% of Millennials reported making a charitable donation in 2014.Millennialsget involved in philanthropic causes because they are motivated by service. High school seniors today are more likely than their predecessors to state that they want to contribute to society.
Moreover, millennials are spearheading the use of social media for civic engagement, which is reshaping our definition of "community" altogether. Our lives are less rooted in geography and stability than our parents' lives were. Unlike our parents, we don't live peacefully with our neighbors on suburban cul-de-sacs; we don't dream of white picket fences. We use technology to participate with the chaotic, diverse world around us; we live one major civil rights and humanitarian crisis to the next. Technology has armed us with knowledge and understanding of how other people live in societies and socioeconomic classes and countries around the world.
We are more aware of the plight of others – friends and strangers alike – than ever before, and this access and awareness is shaping our belief systems and our choices in unprecedented ways.
Joel Stein called millennials narcissistic, lazy, and self-centered. I disagree with his opinions, but beyond the name-calling there is an undeniable change that will take hold in the years to come. Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce in the next decade. Even when we are frustrated by lack of enthusiasm and encouragement from our older peers, we know that they know, deep down, the strength of the tide they're up against.
I'm reluctant to end by giving Stein any credit, but it turns out he was right about something he said early on in his piece about why older generations fear millennials: we don't need them.
Do older generations have exquisite wisdom to offer the workforce? Of course.
But Baby Boomers, take note. We have the numbers, the tools, and the passion for greatness.We have technology finesse and an addiction to executing big, innovative ideas.
However much we've been knocked around by our rough entry into adulthood, our battle wounds—the insults— have made us stronger. Louder. Hungrier.
Consider yourself warned.]]>

Why give them up? Because this week, Irene Rosenfeld, the head of Mondolez (the food conglomerate based in Illinois that has Nabisco in its portfolio), a woman touted for breaking the glass ceiling upon becoming the head of Kraft Foods and then its spin off, announced that rather than invest $130 million in modernizing the plant in Chicago, where Oreos have been lovingly produced for the past 100 years, she will instead move the jobs to a new factory in Mexico. The result: a loss of 600 well-paying and community-sustaining jobs on Chicago's Southwest Side.
Is giving up Oreos a foolish and futile gesture? Of course, I know that other Chicago-born companies have made similar moves. I, like many Chicagoans felt a loss when Frango Mints were no longer hand made on the top floor of Marshall Field's—and felt worse when Marshall Field's ceased to exist at all. I was saddened when Klaus Suchard chose to take Brach candy production from Chicago, and in so doing ended Chicago's title as candy capital of the world. I even regretted the loss of the city's steel mills and stockyards, despite the cleaner air that their exodus brought.
But this seems different. Perhaps it was reading the May stories of Rosenfeld's report to shareholders in which she touted the upward trajectory of the company's profits through cutting back on procurement and customer service and her plans to make it even more profitable by a restructuring that would realize a gain of $1.5 billion for stockholders.
It might have been reading the very next day that Rosenfeld was now being feted as the first woman to join the "20 Club," those Illinois CEOS who are paid more than $20 million a year. Rosenfeld was paid $21 million in 2014 alone.
Or perhaps, in a city beset by financial woes, it was contemplating the impact of 600 more unemployed people, who had, only weeks ago, represented a well-paid diverse workforce of Latinos, African Americans and whites whose skills and union had earned them a sustainable salary of as much as $26 an hour.
Or perhaps, after another weekend of shootings and deaths, it was thinking about the young people who we tell that in staying in school, staying out of trouble and following the rules there is a clear path to opportunity in our city—at the moment that 600 such opportunities in the city evaporated.
Certainly Rosenfeld's move is legal (although whether it should be is another question). But I can find no sense in which it is moral, just or defensible.
Rosenfeld and company may say that the move is justified, the reasonable actions of a company to improve their bottom line; that they owe their workers, the city and the nation nothing. But I would disagree. As Warren Buffet and a few other enlightened CEOs often point out, no American company succeeds on its own or without public benefit. Companies benefit from their hiring of workers made literate and trained by a public education system that, with all its foibles, is pervasive and accessible. Corporate trucks enjoy the benefits of publicly financed roads and bridges, maintained at the public's expense, not theirs. Their commerce itself benefits from government agreements that ensure the rule of law and protect them in a manner that those of few other countries do. And of course the wealth of the company is due to the skill and work of the workers—who turn, in this case, the flour and sugar into the delectable treats that are now enjoyed worldwide.
There's nothing new or even unusual about Irene Rosenfeld and the story of Nabisco and its Oreo cookies. But perhaps its very pervasiveness in our lives is just the thing to wake up the nation to the downward spiral we find ourselves in—a veritable race to the bottom, with a thin layer of the very rich, a hollowing out of the middle, and a growing underclass—relegated to selling merchandize produced for pennies on the dollar in other countries.
A friend to whom I spoke about Mondelez counseled that to mention Rosenfeld's salary is a distraction. But it seems somehow wrong that we praise and reward a CEO for eliminating American jobs or for being paid an amount in one year that would take any worker in her plant 500 years to earn. Come to think of it, if Rosenfeld could learn to live on $2 million a year, that $19 million could be used to save 600 jobs, and the company's bottom line would still be the same.
The same friend, who long has worked in finance said to me, in a manner most reminiscent of the famous quote from The Godfather, "It's just business" But it's a business where choices are made. Unlike other nations, our laws today do nothing to discourage offshoring, nor do they create any penalties when companies leave cities and towns holding the bag, left responsible for cleaning the contaminated sites and providing assistance to those left behind.
We look at cities like Detroit or Gary and say, in language that only slightly masks its racism, that their sorry financial state is of their own making, and that we are better and smarter than they. But are we? The African-American residents of those cities didn't create the problems they face. Rather, it was the exodus of auto from Detroit (140,000 jobs lost between 1950 and 1960) that created the first and lasting economic crisis that city faced and faces. So, too it was not the population of Gary that caused its demise but the decision of steel to lower its costs, take the profits gleaned from decades of workers' production, invest it in foreign lands and leave its workforce behind. Rather than exceptions, we'd be better off understanding them as harbingers of our future—the veritable canaries in the mine whose warnings should be heeded.
The last 20 years—from the changes in tax laws of Bill Clinton's regime through the terrible and costly years of George W. Bush—have favored massive increases in corporate profits with American workers and taxpayers paying the bills and the price. It need not be this way. It was and is not divinely ordained. These are the decisions of humans and other choices can be made.
For me? Just as I don't shop at Wal-Mart where guns are sold next to the cereal, I won't be eating Oreos. A small and ineffectual gesture, perhaps, but one that will give me some satisfaction while I wait and work for a government that takes a stand.

Fired UC officer Ray Tensing later posted 10 percent of that amount and was released, the Hamilton County Court clerk's website said. He was freed at about 6:30 p.m., county sheriff's spokesman Mike Robison confirmed.
People in the courtroom audience had erupted into cheers and clapped when Tensing's bail was set at $1 million, drawing the ire of Judge Megan Shanahan. "Ladies and gentlemen! This is a courtroom," the judge said sharply. Tensing also pleaded not guilty to a charge of voluntary manslaughter in the July 19 shooting of Samuel DuBose, who was stopped for not having a front license plate.
Defense attorney Stewart Mathews said there are two sides to the case and the officer's much-viewed body camera video of the traffic stop can be interpreted differently from the prosecutor's version.
DuBose's death comes after months of national debate about police use of force against African-Americans, especially when the force resulted in death. The 43-year-old DuBose was black; Tensing is white. But authorities have not focused on race as a factor in the slaying.
Two campus police officers who responded to the shooting have been put on paid leave, university spokeswoman Michele Ralston confirmed Thursday. Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt are on leave while the university police department conducts an internal investigation, she said.
Body camera footage from the two officers was released Thursday. Kidd can be heard saying he saw Tensing being dragged. And in other footage, Lindenschmidt can be heard telling another officer that Tensing "went down, got tangled in the car and drew his gun and fired."
In Lindenschmidt's video, Tensing can be seen on the ground and then getting up. But there is no indication on the video of how he ended up on the ground. The prosecutor who brought the murder charge, Joe Deters, told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Kidd and Lindenschmidt testified before the grand jury that indicted Tensing.
Messages were left Thursday at the university police department for the two officers and at a home phone number listed for a David Lindenschmidt. No telephone listing for Kidd could be found. Deters said the university should disband its department and turn over policing to the city. University President Santa Ono rejected that, saying campus police duties are different from those of a city department.
"You need to have a knowledge of how to interact with students," he said in an interview Thursday. "There are many different issues and federal guidelines that have to be followed that are very specific to campus policing." After DuBose was stopped, he failed to provide a driver's license and refused to get out of the car. "I didn't even do nothing," he can be heard telling Tensing.
DuBose held up what appears to be a bottle of gin. Tensing has said he thought he was going to be dragged under the car and "feared for his life," according to Mathews. Tensing fired once, striking DuBose in the head. "This officer was wrong," city police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said Wednesday, adding that officers "have to be held accountable" when they're in the wrong.
Deters scoffed at Tensing's claim that he was dragged by DuBose's car, saying the officer "purposely killed him." Using words such as "asinine" and "senseless," the veteran prosecutor known for tough stands on urban crime called it "a chicken crap" traffic stop.

Mayweather is obviously coming off his unanimous decision win over Manny Pacquiao in the widely dubbed "Fight of the Century". Many fans didn't feel that it lived up to its billing, feeling that the lack of dramatic moments and entertaining exchanges was not worth the $100 PPV cost. Still, the fight blew away all PPV and gate records on its way to being the richest fight in boxing history.
Berto was once one of the top welterweights in the world as the WBC's champion for 3 years. The 31-year-old lost his undefeated record and his belt to Victor Ortiz in a thrilling 2011 clash that featured two knockdowns apiece, but Berto lost the decision. After beating Jan Zaveck, Berto tested positive for a banned substance, which killed off a planned Ortiz rematch. He then lost a decision to Robert Guerrero in another war, having suffered two early knockdowns. A 12th round TKO vs. Jesus Soto Karass, which saw Berto injure his shoulder, looked like the relative end to Berto's career at the top. Since that 1-3 stretch, Berto has beaten the unheralded Steve Chambers and stopped Josesito Lopez in 6 rounds in a PBC on Spike main event.
On the surface, considering Amir Khan was the supposed frontrunner to face Mayweather next, this is not a particularly compelling match-up. Truthfully speaking, having beaten Pacquiao, there are practically no real compelling fights for Floyd at 147 lbs. But if you gave boxing fans the option of paying $60 or $70 to watch Mayweather get an easy decision over Berto, or to watch it on network television, they'd likely choose the one that doesn't cost $60 or $70 to order. Mayweather is still the sport's top PPV draw, and "disappointing" fights vs. Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez did absolutely nothing to change that for the worse. However, according to The Sweet Science report, if Mayweather wins this one and the CBS broadcast goes well, his 50th (and presumably last) fight could also be on CBS.
Of course, this is all speculation on an unconfirmed report. We'll have to wait and see for the official announcement of Mayweather's return to the ring. And for MMA fans reading this article, there are no UFC, Bellator, or World Series of Fighting events scheduled for that week.]]>
The G-Unit general filed for bankruptcy just two months after he ranked at no. 4 on the Forbes Fivelist, which listed the wealthiest people in hip-hop. His estimated net worth was $155 million thanks to his business ventures with SMS Audio, Effen Vodka, SK Energy and Frigo underwear.]]>
We've heard this story before, though. This isn't the first time "El Chapo" escaped from a maximum security prison. In 2001, with the aid of up to 78 people, he fled Mexico's Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation No. 2 in a laundry cart. A prison guard opened his cell, and a maintenance worker commandeered the laundry cart and put "El Chapo" in the trunk of his car. That was amateur hour compared to his second escape plan. Guzman fled Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 in a mile-long tunnel in the prison's shower area, the only part of the jail without cameras.
The tunnel was air-conditioned, had lights, and a motorcycle. It stretched from the prison shower area to a construction site in the neighborhood of Santa Juanita. This, to those in know, should come as no surprise as Guzman is credited in Malcolm Beith's book, The Last Narco: Inside the Hunt for El Chapo, the World's Most Wanted Drug Lord, for pioneering sophisticated underground tunnels to smuggle drugs across the American border.
So who is the man known as "El Chapo?"
He's this generation's Pablo Escobar. He has amassed a net worth of about $1 billion, according to Forbes. In 2014, Forbes also listed him on their "Powerful People" list and claimed his cartel's annual revenue is $3 billion and is responsible for at least 25 percent of all illegal drugs smuggled into the United States from Mexico. He rose to power during the mid to late '80s, first working for Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo aka"El Padrino" and the Guadalajara Cartel. Guzman eventually broke off to form the Sinaloa Cartel after Gallardo was apprehended in 1989.
It was during this time Guzman and his associate Héctor Luis Palma Salazar took advantage of the attention the Colombian cartels were getting in their much-publicized war with the Colombian and U.S. governments. After Salazar was arrested in June of 1995, 'El Chapo" took control. He remained a shadow with infinite connections and wealth. Guzman wielded his influence from behind the scenes,colluding with the Mexican government and America's ATF in order to keep his trafficking business afloat for decades. Operation Fast and Furious was spearheaded by the ATF, the plan being to track guns given to Sinaloa cartel members. Instead, as U.S. law enforcement officer John Dodson claimed in his book, The Unarmed Truth, the U.S. government was helping the cartel rather stopping them.
As I mentioned earlier, tunnels were a Sinaloa Cartel signature. With the help of architect Felipe de Jesús Corona-Verbera, one of their first tunnels ran from a home in Ague Prieta, Mexico to a cartel-owned warehouse in Douglas, Ariz. The U.S. government has credited Guzman's cartel with at least 90 border tunnels. When the Colima Cartel's Amezcua brothers were arrested in 1999 for meth charges, "El Chapo" seized the opportunity to take control of the market they left behind, furthering his cobra clutch on Mexico's drug trade.
How did Guzman get arrested the first time?
In 1993, the Mexican government was forced to apprehend the drug lord after Cardinal and Archbishop Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo was accidently killed in a gunfight between El Chapo's crew and the Tijuana Cartel. It wasn't easy, though. The leader of the Sinaloa Cartel bribed his way to Guatemala. However, he was then extradited to Mexico with the help of the same Guatemalan official he had bribed and who turned out to be an informant. El Chapo was incarcerated for about eight years before his daring escape.
How did the world's most notorious drug trafficker get himself arrested again?
His top assassin was too flamboyant on Instagram. José Rodrigo Arechiga aka El Chino Antrax, known for stuntin' on IG with gold guns and expensive cars, was apprehended after landing in Amsterdam. Dutch officials were waiting for him after Interpol filed a Red Notice. This caused the Sinaloa Cartel to try to reorganize since El Chino was such a major cog within their organization. Phone calls, texts, and emails. were placed, leading authorities to El Chapo's whereabouts since they had hundreds of phone lines and emails tapped. Guzman had been on the run for 13 years, mainly hiding in the Sierra Madre mountains, prior to his capture in 2014. Use the phrase "on the run" loosely, though. During this period, "El Chapo" wined, dined, got married, had kids, and continued his leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel.
Mexican and American authorities closed in on him twice with the help of wire taps and informants. The first time, he escaped with his bodyguard through a tunnel made possible by a bathtub equipped with a hydraulic lift. Clearly, Guzman had shit that the government got. The second and last time, they got wind that he was with his wife and twin daughters in condos in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico. He resisted arrest but was eventually cuffed without a single shot being taken.
In February of 2014, he was taken to Mexico's most secure prison—a place where airwaves are compromised in order to thwart cell phone usage by inmates and that's surrounded by a no-fly zone to prevent escape by helicopter—and brought up on Mexican drug trafficking charges that would make extradition to U.S. a slower process. Rumors began to surface of Guzman conspiring an inmate hunger strike with rival "La Barbie," a tactic that may have helped "Chapo" with his escape. One would need friends on the inside to hatch such a plan as organized as this latest escape. Mexican authorities were embarrassed by his first escape and were hoping to redeem themselves with his second capture.
What happens now?
Only "El Chapo" and God knows. The Mexican and U.S. government are sure to leave no stone or tunnel unturned. But given Guzman's history of remaining lowkey, and a step ahead of law enforcement officials, it's safe to assume we have seen the last of the world's most powerful drug dealer for a while. Unless, he takes Donald Trump's bait. However, Guzman's son might handle Trump personally. "El Chapo" is bold, not stupid, as he's proven time and again.]]>
"We asked, `What are some of the ways we can engage them in the real world?'" says Donna.
Their brainstorming resulted in Surprise Ride, a company that sells subscription gift boxes for children. After launching to the public in a beta phase in May 2013, the Washington, D.C.-based firm shipped more than 40,000 boxes and now brings in more than $1 million in annual sales. Along the way, the duo appeared on Shark Tank last season. "That gave us a huge boost and put us on the map," says Donna.
In a market filled with subscription box companies, Surprise Ride has targeted a very specific niche: children ages 6 to 11 who can read and do some of the activities on their own. Their boxes, often sold to family members of the youngsters such as grandparents and aunts, are filled with toys and activities that address questions kids are curious about, such a "Why do birds fly?" or "Why do volcanoes erupt?" The Summer Survival Kit, for instance, includes bee-related activities such as making beeswax candles, African safari-themed projects such as making an "Elephant Memory game" and beach-oriented activities such as making sand art.
What helped the Khalife sisters turn a germ of an idea into a thriving businesswas the systematic way they built it. Because they live in different time zones—Donna was living in Los Angeles and Rosy was working abroad in London—they created a shared Google GOOGL +0.51% doc to record their startup ideas. They ended up with 30 pages. In December 2012, they put $5,000 in a bank account to fund the business and taught themselves to code so they could put up a website.
Both sisters have a knack for creating things from scratch. They had spent countless hours in the workshop of their artist father, Ray Khalife, a do-it-yourselfer who even made his own paint. The family had emigrated from Lebanon in the mid-1980s as war refugees. When civil war broke out, they escaped after nightfall on a boat to Cyprus.
By the spring of 2013, the sisters were accepted to the Betaspring Accelerator in Providence, Rhode Island, where they did much of their market research. The duo talked to experts and conducted surveys, focus groups and interviews of potential customers. All told, they held more than 100 interviews with parents, grandparents and other family members. "We were obsessed with testing and proving it was a valid concept before we spent a lot of other people's time and money," says Donna.
Both had a business background to draw on. Donna attended Harvard Business School and had worked on Wall Street; Rosy had studied marketing at Providence College.
By May 2014, they applied for Shark Tank. "It's a very unpredictable process," says Donna. "You have to submit an interview video and a pitch video." On the show, they received an offer for 25% of the company but didn't accept it.
Still, the appearance sparked sales. The number of subscribers rose from the hundreds to the thousands. Fortunately they had increased their inventory ahead of time.
Surprise Rise had no employees other than the Khalife sisters its first year in business, but with orders flowing, it now has 10. Currently, the founders are working on raising capital in a Series A round. Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs, whom they met at a scholarship event, has invested $500,000.
The growth has been a bit of a whirlwind but the Khalife sisters say they're ready to scale. "It happens so quickly you have to get into the swing of things, working late hours and on the weekends," says Rosy. "It's something you need to do to sustain your business."]]>
With 120 million people across Africa using Facebook in 2015 — a jump of 20 million from September 2014 — the company has decided to double down and open its first office on the continent. With a population of around 1 billion and growing, Africa has a lot of potential users to offer Internet companies that can get their strategy right.
Running out of Johannesburg, South Africa, the office will be headed by marketing industry veteran, Nunu Ntshingila. There are plans to hire an initial 25 employees, according to Re/code.
Facebook will initially concentrate business efforts on Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, the company said in a statement. It also provides support to Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Mozambique and Ethiopia. In recognition of the fact that in excess of 80% of African Facebook users access the social network on mobile, Facebook said it will work on cementing relationships with advertisers and small businesses to support them in the mobile ad space. "Mobile is not a trend; it's the fastest development in communications we've ever seen. This couldn't be more true in Africa – where so many people are mobile-only," Nicola Mendelsohn, Facebook vice president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said in the statement. "Facebook is already a central part of people's lives in Africa, and with more than a billion people in Africa, we want to do more to help people and businesses connect." Facebook has been working on getting more Africans online for a number of years, targeting countries like Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya and Ghana with its Internet.org program. Internet.org aims to get more people in the developing world online by working with local data providers — and maybe one day, drones, satellites and lasers — to supply free connectivity to websites like Wikipedia, job boards, BBC News, and of course, Facebook. It hasnd't been smooth sailing. In May, digital liberty groups signed an open letter accusing Internet.org of violating principals of net neutrality by creating a "two-tiered" Internet, whereby those in the developing world are only able to access certain pre-selected sites. A number of Indian Internet companies withdrew their support from the project in April over the controversy. Google is also competing in the global connectivity space. Their Project Link aims to bring fiber networks to the developing world, while Project Loon is testing giant air balloons that could supply Internet from the air. Google already has several offices in Africa. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.]]>

Do you really think during your simple thoughts that Torres would not have done all he could to play his old team Athletico.
I am sure the only reason for the operation is to prolong his career in football and hopefully for most of us at Liverpool, a time that with luck will long outlast yours on this board.

For more than 10 years no one has ever complained or gotten sick at my restaurant and then this b*tch comes along and files report after report in a preemptive strike to put me out of business. I took my case to the board, but it seems like it is there word against yours and regardless of the evidence (or lack of evidence on their part), they automatically take the inspector's side without even hearing your side of the story.
Basically the health department inspectors can, in theory, lie about your business in a collaboration to shut you down (since you have to take your case to court to prove your innocence, some business owners may not have the assets to hire an attorney to take their case to court so they have no choice but to comply). They seem like very sadistic people, yet the public seems to rever them as heroes because the media seems to write every article in their favor. Like I said, NO ONE has ever gotten sick at my restaurant in 10 years!
I think the health department is full of sh*t! I work hard for my business, I keep it clean and spotless! Yet they have the right to shut it down as if it were nothing. I wonder how they would feel if someone took away their jobs?
If there is such a thing as Karma, the I believe that Elizabeth Ousky and every dirt ball health inspector like her will die a horrible, terrible death, similar to the ones you see in the Saw movies. There must be justice in this world and I seriously hope that the Health Department of Columbus and Elizabeth Ousky gets what's coming to them because they are all MONEY HUNGRY corrupt government officials! They seem to have NO concern for the well being of the people and they appear to be just out to help themselves get promoted and it seems like they work on a point system of how many restaurants they can shut down.
They apparently inspect small businesses harder and only briefly walk through chains and corporate restaurants. I know this for a FACT because I know people working in corporate restaurants and they are NOT inspected as hard as they inspect smaller businesses. If there is a conspiracy going on, then I would like to know. I don't care if this is a government institution, even government officials can be corrupted.

Martina McBride Announces Love Unleashed Tour
Martina McBride will hit the road this fall in support of her latest studio album, 'Reckless'.
Martina McBride can thank her husband and Garth Brooks — not to mention her powerful voice — for her status as one of the most successful acts in country music. Born and raised in Sharon, Kan., McBride performed with her father's local band, the Schiffters (McBride's maiden name is Schiff), as a child, before forming her own local group. The new ensemble rented studio space from her future husband, studio engineer John McBride; the couple married in 1988 and moved to Nashville soon after. When her husband joined Garth Brooks' tour crew, McBride often accompanied him on the road, even selling t-shirts for a time. Brooks promised McBride that if she got a record deal, she could open for him — and he kept his word: McBride signed with RCA Nashville in 1991 and toured with Brooks in the early '90s. The songstress released her debut album, 'The Time Has Come', in 1992, but it wasn't until her third album, 1995's 'Wild Angels', that McBride earned her first No. 1, with the disc's title track. Her songs "Independence Day" and "A Broken Wing" have become rallying cries for victims of domestic violence, a cause for which McBride is a tireless advocate. In 2014, McBride authored a cookbook, 'Around the Table: Recipes and Inspiration for Gatherings Throughout the Year'; released a record of R&B and soul covers, 'Everlasting'; and signed to the Nash Icon label.

President Bush has identified the success of global trade talks launched in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001 as one of the United States' top trade policy priorities. Known as the Doha Development Agenda, the talks are an important means of spurring global growth and development. Completing the talks in 2006 was considered essential for an agreement to qualify for streamlined congressional consideration under the U.S. Trade Promotion Authority. However, the talks collapsed in late July 2006 in the face of wide differences over the extent of agricultural reform and how best to promote economic development in poor countries. Efforts to break the deadlock continue. Given the tenuous state of this central plank of U.S. trade policy, GAO updated its series of prior reports. In this report, we assess (1) the overall status of the Doha Round negotiations now and the progress that had been made prior to and since the breakdown of the talks, (2) the substantive divisions among key World Trade Organization (WTO) members that led to an environment of deadlock and the eventual suspension of the negotiations, and (3) the possible economic and other ramifications if the round is not concluded satisfactorily.
The Doha talks remain deadlocked, and their ultimate success is uncertain. However, the recent resumption in negotiations and renewal decisions facing Congress in 2007 create a window for breaking the deadlock. Regarding agriculture, WTO members differ sharply over how much to reduce barriers that distort production and trade, namely import restrictions such as tariffs (import taxes) and government payments and other "domestic support" to farmers. As the world's largest agricultural exporter, the United States is seeking to sharply reduce foreign barriers to U.S. exports and has insisted on attaining greater promise of commensurate market access gains before agreeing to further cut its trade-distorting payments to U.S. farmers. The European Union (EU) is among the major agricultural players that have resisted this, and it has joined forces with developing countries in demanding U.S. subsidy cuts far beyond those already offered. In particular, the EU and developing countries have pressed the United States to cut subsidies below current spending and to disavow certain programs that could lead to future increases. Regarding development, members remain divided over how the WTO can best promote economic growth and reduce poverty in the developing countries. Despite their diverse interests, developing countries maintain solidarity in pressing myriad demands for special treatment that would shield them from liberalizing their own imports. The United States believes such liberalization is not only critical to fostering development, but needed for WTO members to maximize the likely economic gains to both developed and developing countries, and to offset anticipated losses for some countries. Participants and observers offer mixed views on the implications if Doha is not successfully concluded. Some warn of forgone economic gains, a weakened global trading system, and a more difficult U.S. trade policy environment. Others suggest that the ramifications are much more limited. Congress faces renewal decisions in 2007 on two key pieces of legislation--Trade Promotion Authority and the Farm Bill--that could spur a breakthrough and be pivotal to the trading system and the future U.S. role in it.

Canon EOS 550D hands-on
Canon has just announced a new DSLR camera as part of its entry-level range of digital SLR cameras and Pocket-lint was on hand to grab a quick and dirty hands-on.
The new model, the Canon EOS 550D, will sport an 18-megapixel APS-C sensor and come with a number of cool features that go beyond the megapixel rush.
Those features include the ability to limit the ISO in auto mode - so you don't end up taking a batch of pictures that are too noisy - and a greater emphasis on movie shooting.
Now rather than having to work your way through a series of menus (by pressing the star button) you can access live view and auto focus with the press of a single dedicated button on the back.
Other new tricks are greater control over frame rate and the ability to output straight into your TV via HDMI.
The new camera is expected to hit the shops in March and cost £899 including an 18-55mm kit lens.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The monastery, which means "Holy Trinity", was built in the 17th century by two brothers of the Venetian Zangaroli family on the site of a pre-existing church.
Join the fight against world hunger.
The church is built in the Byzantine architectural cruciform style with three domes. The main church is flanked by two smaller domed chapels, one of which is dedicated to the Life-Giving Spring and the other to Saint John the Theologian. The main church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and the church has a narthex at the front set at right angles to the main aisle. There are two large Doric-style columns and one smaller, Corinthian-style column on either side of the main entrance.
The monastery is devoted to the Life-Giving spring, Saint John the Theologian, and the Holy Trinity.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I worked with this company for a few years only to see their services diminished over time and eventually, ripping people off and ruining my company and reputation.
I sent them many, many clients with the understanding that they would do everything possible to help them and make sure they provided quality service, not 100% removal of bad credit, which was the understanding. They begin to have excuses of why they couldn't provide the services they claim to offer and eventually, ripped off clients that were sent to them.
Even though I continued to ask to speak to the owner to resolve this issue, i keep getting Cheryl Hinnant, a "God fearing woman" who would judge others and one day tell me "God told me not to work with you". I don't know how business and religion get mixed up, but the fact that a "God fearing woman" would use God as an excuse to not provide services, give me BS and excuses and continue to lie about what was going on, was totally unprofessional. On several occasions though, her own boss had to tell her to apologize to me and the client she had profess her bullshit on. But she's still employed there and because of her, a 5 yr relationship, with many clients that were sent there for services, was eventually ruined and stopped.
I blame all of this on the company and Cheryl Hinnant, a FRAUD and a scam artist who would and will continue to use God, as an excuse to get over on people. To this day, I have clients calling me, asking me to refund a fee they charged and have lost a tremendous amount of clients, they called and stole from me.
Anyone interested in working with them, READ THIS! They will do good on the easy client, but will do horrible and lie to you or anyone you bring, with their religious bullshit and company "goals" just to take money from you.

I am from Pa. I had a friend recomend Trinity to me because it worked so good for her.
I was told in the first conversation they dont gaurentee all things will come off.
They offer a money back gaurentee that the majority of the negatitive items will be removed.
If they dont get anything off your credit report you get your money back. I was told up front what they felt would come off and what may be harder to remove.
But what choice did I have, its better to pay them and take a chance they can get it off when I know I never could.
It worked great for me, and now I have 3 credit cards that they helped me get and a new car. I was very happy with my results and have sent several family members over to them to fix their credit. 2014-05-08
