One good Samaritan: Cyrine Abdelnour involved in international humanitarian work
Many celebs try to use their fame for good causes, and Lebanese actress Cyrine Abdelnour is doing just that.
The starlet is currently preparing for a new reality TV show, which sheds light on a number of humanitarian activities, such as visiting poverty-ridden areas and refugee camps.
Mademoiselle Cyrine is clearly following in the good footsteps of Angeline Jolie, who's famous for her tremendous humanitarian efforts worldwide.
According to Elaph news, the good Samaritan will be travelling to Nepal, Turkey and a number of African countries to shed light on the suffering of the less-fortunate, in addition to giving them much-needed aid.
The 26-episode series is scheduled to begin filming in mid-January 2014.
The show will be produced by "Natural Star Production," and is expected to air on the UAE satellite channel "Al Aan." Negotiations are currently underway with Lebanese and Egyptian satellite channels to buy the rights to air the series.
On a different note, Cyrine is currently in negotiations with jewelry makers "L'azurde" to become the new face of their brand. This golden step comes at the same time Lebanese singer Haifa Wehbe signed a similar contract with the jewelry company 'Zughaib' and Lebanese singer Maya Diab signed a contract with 'Lu Fuwayajor' jewelry.

Thanks in advance. I have a crazy problem with wordpress.
Products showing as "out of stock" while we know it's not the case.
We inserted a could of CSS modifications as per forum posts but that did not work.
We even tried to remove "stock management" from the inventory interface but that did not work either.

The 2016 SHRM Student Case Competition and Career Summit is the premier student HR conference in the United States. SHRM provides world-class opportunities for students, student chapter advisors, faculty members and HR professionals to connect through events held in multiple locations across the country. You will hear from in-the-know keynote speakers, have the opportunity to sit down with local HR practitioners, and be able to engage with fellow attendees or compete in the Case Competition. This event is sure to enhance your perspective on what it means to be a member of the HR community and prepare you to advance both personally and professionally.
NEW for 2016!
New Case Competition Divisions. The Case Competition provides a realistic preview of the types of problems that students may eventually encounter in the workplace. The case study focuses on any number of HR/workplace issues and require strategic thinking, ethical decision-making, and strong leadership and presentation skills.
To "level the playing field" and more effectively address the varying experience levels of both traditional and nontraditional students, this year's Case Competition teams will compete in one of two Division levels:
- Division I: Each team is made up of a minimum of two and a maximum of six undergraduate students, with each team member being age 25 or younger as of January 1, 2016.
- Division II: Each team is made up of a minimum of two and a maximum of six students meeting one of the criteria below:
- The team is made up entirely of graduate students (regardless of age) OR
- The team is made up of undergraduate students and at least one team member is age 26 or older as of January 1, 2016.
More Case Competition Teams. This year, 30 teams will have the opportunity to compete at each Case Competition event (East, Central and West).
Engaging Keynote Speakers. Each 2016 SHRM Student Case Competition and Career Summit features an inspiring keynote speaker with a unique message specifically for students. Be prepared to come away inspired about the future. You may want to consider who the keynote speaker will be (in addition to dates and locations) when selecting the Summit you plan to attend!
Career Connection Zone. The Career Connection Zone provides an opportunity for students to connect with their peers and HR professionals who will expand their network, increase their influence and grow their contacts list. The Career Connection Zone is part interview, part workshop and part engaging conversation. Come ready to get in the Zone!

Guidance/School Counseling
Mission Statement
The mission of the School Counseling/Guidance Department at Foxborough Regional Charter School is to provide a comprehensive, developmental program which addresses the academic, college/career, and personal/social needs of all students. In collaboration with school staff, parents/guardians, and the community, the school guidance program will facilitate access for every student to school services and supports to achieve the best possible academic outcomes, help students gain the knowledge and skills to achieve their post-secondary education and career goals, and prepare them to be meaningful contributors to society.
Comprehensive, Developmental School Counseling Programming
The goal of a comprehensive, developmental school counseling program is to continually improve the outcomes for all students in academic, career/college, and social/personal areas. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA – www.schoolcounselor.org) and the Massachusetts Association of School Counselors (MASCA – www.masca.org) have published models as guidelines for school counseling departments to design and implement programming. FRCS endorses these models. More information about them is available on these sites.

Department News
Congratulations to Ms. Fagan for her selection as the 2015 MASCA Torch: Rising Star Award given annually to a school counselor who has entered the profession within the last five years and who is a model for new counselors, demonstrating the highest standards of professional competence, outstanding contributions to the school community and/or profession, and excellent rapport with families, students, and school personnel.
Naviance has arrived at FRCS! Naviance is a leading, web-based college and career exploration system. Students have received account information and are using the system in Achievement Teams and advising classes. More information about the Naviance system is available HERE.
Academic Success
- Students – Start the year off strong! Set up times to meet with teachers if you need extra help.
- Make an appointment to see your guidance/school counselor to talk about study skills, course planning, social supports, activities, career exploration, or any other question you have about being a student.
- Parents and guardians – contact teachers. Email is by far the easiest and best way to check-in with them about your student's progress. Don't wait until report cards!!
Achievement Teams are an important aspect of developing student skills. All students in grade 6-10 have Achievement Teams once per cycle. Ask your son or daughter about these lessons and start a conversation about how students are learning to be better learners.
Guidance Advisory Council
The National Model for School Counseling recommends having a Guidance Advisory Council. The council provides feedback on the school counseling program and is also a resource for project and intiatives. The Guidance Advisory Council meets monthly. If you are interested in discussing guidance programs and activities related to student's academic, social/personal, and career exploration needs, please call Mr. Elsner at x272 or email at email@example.com.

Mark Twain
Mark Twain: San Francisco & Roughing It
Mark Twain's Civil War was a rather short one; he trained for two weeks with a Confederate militia which then disbanded, ending his military career. In 1862, his older brother Orion was offered a job as the personal secretary to the territorial governor of Nevada. He asked Twain if he would like to come along as his assistant, and Twain jumped at the chance. "I had never been away from home, and that word 'travel' had a seductive charm for me,"10 Twain wrote in his memoir Roughing It. The brothers journeyed together to Nevada in a stagecoach, enduring several long, uncomfortable weeks on rough roads. After some hilariously unsuccessful attempts to cash in on Nevada's silver boom, Twain realized that mining might not be the job for him. He instead took a job as city editor for the Virginia City (Nev.) Daily Territorial Enterprise. As a cub reporter, Twain later recalled, he "let fancy get the upper hand of fact too often."11 When the news was slow, he often just made stories up.
After circumstances forced him to leave Nevada—some messy business involving the state's dueling laws—he moved west, traveling through northern California and settling in San Francisco. His travels inspired the short story "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog" (later known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County") which was published in 1865 in the New York Saturday Press. The story was a tall tale about a man listening to a tall tale, and it was a huge success. Twain was honing his skills as a storyteller, and in doing so he helped to define the American sense of humor. "To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities, is the basis of the American art,"12 he later said.
Twain later traveled to Hawaii as a reporter for the Alta California and then to Europe. On the journey abroad, he noticed a framed photograph of a fellow passenger's sister, a woman named Olivia "Livy" Langdon, and insisted on meeting her when they returned to the U.S. He did, and was instantly smitten. In 1870 he married her. Twain had rather progressive views of women and marriage for his time, believing that a woman should be an equal partner to her husband, instead of subservient ("I don't want to sleep with a threefold being who is a cook, chambermaid, and washer woman all in one,"13 he said.) Twain was devoted to his wife, who became an important editor of his work. "I never wrote a serious word until after I married Mrs. Clemens," he later said. "She is solely responsible—to her should go the credit—for any influence my subsequent work should exert. After my marriage, she edited everything I wrote."14 He even tried going to church to please his religious wife, but that didn't last very long.

Chris happened to live in Minnesota when he opened his first bank account at age 18, and went with Wells Fargo. They were everywhere, convenient, and the rest of his family were all signing up with them too. Shrug – why not? He stuck with them for more than a decade. He moved around the continent and a lot of things changed through his twenties, but his Wells Fargo account was a constant. Sometimes it was a little inconvenient, but he stuck with them out of habit. Until his balance fell low enough that they began charging him fees for the privilege of being their customer. It took him less than an hour to switch everything over to a local bank that isn't fee-happy. Why, he wonders, did he stick with Big Stagecoach for so long?
How I Stopped Rationalizing And Left Wells Fargo Behind For A Local Bank
Reforms Needed To Keep Consumers From Being Trapped In Their Old Bank Accounts
It's been nearly a year since the first Bank Transfer Day, when people around the country ditched fee-laden accounts in favor of more consumer-friendly institutions, and yet many bank customers still find roadblocks that keep them from easily jumping ship from one bank to another. [More]
Overheard In 10 Million American Households: Bank Account? What Bank Account?
I used to know a guy who kept his money hidden in his home because he didn't trust banks. Like, all of it. He would never tell me where, obviously, guess though I may (Freezer? Under the mattress? Behind the "secret" DVD collection?). He isn't alone — there are 10 million American households that don't have bank accounts, a number that is increasing every day.
Turns Out Regulators Aren't Too Keen On Ice Cream Shops Going Into The Banking Business
Although federal regulators never caught onto my father's First Bank of Dad, they're totally paying attention to a Pittsburgh man who's set up his own community bank right at his ice cream and coffee shop. He even doles out interest in the form of gift cards to his business, which might go over well with his customers, but there are rules against that sort of thing.
Sallie Mae Bank Can't Write You A Check, Despite Being A Bank And All
Sure, online-only banking is easy and convenient, but there are strange things that happen while the world gets used to this different way of banking. For example: JB received a call from Sallie Mae Bank that they couldn't send him the balance of his matured certificate of deposit because they don't have the capability to send checks to customers. Let me again emphasize that they are a bank.
$1.9 Million BofA CEO Made In 2010 Wasn't Enough So He Got $8.1 Million Last Year
Just as an NCAA hoops power needs a driven coach to lead the way through March Madness, a corporation seeking the Worst Company in America Golden Poo needs a CEO who manages to rake in ludicrous pay raises.
Wells Fargo Advances War On Free Checking With $7 Fee In 6 More States
Wells Fargo continues to phase out its free checking offerings, tacking on a $7 monthly fee in six states. Even existing customers whose free checking had been grandfathered in will have to start paying up. Oddly, the bank declined to name the six states affected.
Wells Fargo: Good For All Of Your Banking And Personal Printing Needs
Nick was giving a presentation at a conference in Albuquerque, and needed to print out a revised version of his notes. He didn't count on the printers in the business center of his hotel being out of order, and the downtown devoid of life, retail, and even Kinko's outlets. Lacking transportation away from the hotel, he tried to think of alternate ways to meet his printing needs. That was when he saw the shimmering green Wells Fargo office tower… and formulated a wacky plan to put his bank to work for him.
Citigroup Settles Mortgage Fraud Charges For $158 Million, Admits Fault
The U.S. Department of Justice nailed Citigroup on mortgage fraud charges, getting the bank to agree to pay out a $158 million settlement while admitting it tricked a federal insurance program into backing bad loans. When borrowers defaulted, taxpayers ended up footing the bill.
Things To Keep In Mind When Switching Banks
If you're fed up with your financial institution and are convinced it's time to move on, it's better to move slowly and precisely rather than rush into the move. The switch will go more smoothly if you take care to properly set yourself up for the change.
Federal Reserve On Verge Of Proposing New Capital Rules For Banks
The Federal Reserve is expected to roll out new rules soon that could make big banks keep more capital reserves on hand, presumably leaving them with less money to lend. The idea is to make banks act more responsible with their stacks of chips and not need the government to bail them out.
3 Things To Look For In An Online Savings Account
Although brick-and-mortar banks are competitive, you can often find more attractive interest rates in online savings accounts. Making the leap from traditional banking comes with some risk, so you should be careful when choosing your bank.
MF Global Clients Can't Get $3 Billion Back Yet
New York-based derivatives broker MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Halloween, and its clients are feeling tricked because $3 billion of their funds remain tied up.
Wells Fargo Does CD Paperwork For Wrong State; It's Your Problem
Earlier this year, Ken's father passed away. He had been investing in certificates of deposit for decades, and had set up each CD with one of his sons as beneficiary, so that accessing or re-investing the money would be simple…or as simple as any transaction with a megabank ever is. Out of all of the CDs, the only problem was one at Wells Fargo. Since the beneficiary information was missing from their computer systems, they needed the original receipt from when the account was opened. Ken's dad was originally issued the wrong type of receipt for the state he lived in, so there was no proof that Ken was the beneficiary for the account. Now he needs a court order to get to the account.
BofA Scraps Plan To Let Customers Opt In To Overdraft Fees
As it paid out $410 million to settle a class-action suit over reordering transactions to maximize overdraft fees and backed down after initiating a $5 monthly fee for debit card users, Bank of America has done some soul-searching. The bank says it's decided not to go ahead with a plan to let customers opt in to a $35 overdraft fee on debit purchases made with insufficient funds.
Wells Fargo Tries To Hitch Its Wagon To 1 Percenters
If you happen to be one of the 10,000 households in the country with $50 million or more to play around with, Wells Fargo would like to talk to you. Well, not Wells Fargo per se, but its new brand, Abbot Downing. Named after a 19th century stagecoach builder, Abbot Downing is launching next year with a staff of 300 managing $27.5 billion of assets from customers.
Banks May Push Prepaid Cards Onto Customers To Make More Money
No longer able to make as much money from processing debit card transactions due to new regulations, banks are expected to start increasing their bottom lines by coaxing customers into using prepaid cards and signing up for credit cards.
Bank Of New York Charges Some Big-Time Clients Fees For Making Cash Deposits
Some clients who are considering making large cash deposits to the Bank of New York Mellon will have to pay for the privilege of doing so. Responding to huge cash deposits from freaked-out customers who are fearful of losing their money in the market, the bank will charge 0.13 percent for accepting high-dollar deposits some accounts.

The game's defining moment of brilliance looked to have come just before half-time as Hornets playmaker Almen Abdi, one of a contingent of players on loan from Udinese, converted a delightful free-kick for his 10th goal of the season.
The Hornets could at that point thank goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, making his full league debut, for still being on level terms having made an impressive double save, while Ikechi Anya then somehow failed to double the visitors' advantage midway through the second half.
But with the in-form Hertfordshire outfit staring at another three points to strengthen their grip on second place in the npower Championship table, Sako popped up to convert Matt Doherty's long throw-in to make it 1-1 at Molineux.
"It's disappointing because I didn't see it coming, I thought we were in control of the game," Zola said. "But I believe the difference wasn't the goal conceded it was the second goal we didn't score. We had opportunities.
"We were controlling their set-plays, something which could have been a problem because they kept putting a lot of balls forward, so because of that I thought it was finished. I didn't see it, honestly I didn't see the last goal coming.
"I was already thinking the game was won and their late goal was a shock for me as it was for all the team.
"But I repeat we obviously have to be more clinical when we have opportunities because 1-0 away from home is not enough."
Yet, despite the late setback, the Italian refused to be too downbeat, with his side unbeaten in six matches and having won seven of the last 10.
"We've come into the game from three successive victories, in February we won four games out of five, so I can't complain too much because we've dropped a point against Wolves away," Zola added. "There are a lot of games not only for us but for the others (promotion rivals) and it will be difficult for them as well."

I am currently a long LINE shareholder. How does the issuance of shares in the new company, LINCO, profit me? It would seem that LINE is diluting it's assets and the value of my shares by issuing new stock in LINCO.
Perhaps you should do some reading on the basics of MLPs
Thanks for the info.
As an LLC, Linn is required to distribute a considerable amount of its revenue. So it regularly sells units to raise capital. Typically, the new capital is used to pay off debt and/or buy earnings-accretive property. This occurs once or twice a year with virtually all MLP/LLCs. It's the nature of the beast. LinnCo is just a clever way of selling units while limiting subsequent price pressure on LINE. Seems to be working out so far, so don't sweat it, Sollid. LINE remains a long-term, income-producing hold with the best hedging in the business.
"LinnCo is just a clever way of selling units while limiting subsequent price pressure on LINE."
Now that is a new alternative reality!
If LNCO owners get a lower price; as the relationship is one to one, they will have a higher return than unit holders.
You go Ron^3! For the rest of us the math is exactly as if units had been sold, at the lower price.
That is the problem with Progressive. They do not understand and no amount of real world outcomes changes their view from altered reality.
This one is really astounding! :-) Thats entertainment!
Every LNCO share is backed by a LINE unit. So as far as DCF they are one and the same.
The debt rating agencies were rattling their pens threatening to downgrade the debt if LINE changed their market equity cap to debt relationship any further.
This transaction restores the model of 2/3 equity value to 1/3 debt. It also clears the variable interest rate credit line. Given the up size which perhaps was a few $100 million to far with some left over.
The 'dilution' to current DCF coverage is not material given the yield on units to the actual all in cost on the credit line. However, an SO of this size does impact future DFC growth assumptions in a dramatic way but it some what counter balanced by lower borrowing debt costs. Also looking at the unit price a lower risk adjusted discount rate from the market analysts.
At this moment the recent massive natural gas acquisition are looking very prescient with ng around $3.50. The wild card is the low cost supply which may or may not come flooding out of the low cost Marcellus fields. It looks like the domestic natural gas industry finally got their house in order and are not desperately dumping gas on the market to keep their jobs.
The aspect of the business model which has allowed LINE to exploit all the Obama created economic uncertainty is the the stability of the balance sheet when combined with the long term hedging locking in cash operating margins.
So far it is neutral for valuation. But you may have a gift if the C units continue to sell at a significant discount to the units.

For Chemistry, registering for any class is easy as classes are often never capped. I have found it easy to get into any of my classes, the workload has been quite heavy (especially for Advanced Organic Chemistry) but manageable, and the curriculum was deep and extensive. Facilities were adequate for all of them, though we could have made use of a bigger room for Organic I and II. Job opportunities for chemistry are great - my advisor has provided a steady stream of internships that have boosted my CV - an NSF-funded and a different NIH-funded internship over the past two summers.Computer science has also provided me with many internship opportunities, and real life programming opportunities with local and out-of-state firms, like Star2Star Communications and the Mind Research Network. The curriculum has been very challenging, and the workload heavy, but not as extensive as I'd like. We do not have sufficient facilities for distributed computing on campus, but we do have enough for small programming projects.
Don't let the lack of grades fool you - the classes are extremely challenging, work loads can be massive, and a lot of people crumble under the stress. The professors are demanding, some are intimidating, but ultimately almost all of them are very approachable and will talk with you for hours about the subject because of the intense love for their work. I am proud to call this college my choice due to the strength of the professors and the depth of their material. Curricula tend to be extensive. Registration can be difficult for classes that are capped low (this is a particular problem in Anthropology courses), and it is difficult to know far in advance what classes will be offered in the future, but overall the system works well and registering is as easy as showing up on the first day of class, deciding that you like it and telling your advisor about it, then signing a contract saying that you will stay in that class all semester. If you can't handle the pressure, you can renegotiate the contract and drop the class, or change to a different level - it's all tailored to the individual.
I did an internship during ISP and was able to continue it 2nd semester.
The New College of Florida has unparalleled academic opportunities for those willing to work for them. Unlike most other undergrad programs, New College puts you in direct contact with your professors- who actively encourage you to visit them to talk about the classes and possible projects. If you have a dream, New College will work with you to make it happen. There are a lot of stories of this on the NCF website and they're anything but uncommon among students. Having written evaluations rather than grades takes a lot of stress out of the courses and encourages students to take classes that would normally fall outside their comfort zone. Professors will write truthfully about your participation and exam scores, though, so don't think you can just slack off. As an honors college, the curriculum is generally a cut above what you'd normally expect and frequent essays, class presentations, and mountains of problem sets are a fact of life. All graduating students must write a thesis relevant to their area of concentration (major) which is strictly judged by your professors. The stress and workload of fourth year is a well-known endeavor which shouldn't be taken lightly.
I felt very unsupported as someone who was interested in pursuing a career in secondary education in the history field. There are no resources for people who want to be teachers, and the history major is suffering from a lack of diversity and from non-tenured professors.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
New College professors are amazingly accessible and qualified. All hold doctorates or terminal degrees and have come to New College for the love of teaching. Mini-classes are held at the beginning of the semester to give students the opportunity to sample courses before committing to them. While there are no grades at New College, tests are still sometimes scored numerically, and a lot of feedback is given to assess strengths and weaknesses. Becoming an engaged student, thinker, and contributor is paramount to success in many disciplines at the College. The student-to-teacher ratio is touted as being as low as 10 to 1. The month of January is devoted to students completing Independent Study Projects (ISPs). These range from internships to seminars, and they tend to be broad in scope and designed by students with adviser input.
While New College promotional literature gives the impression that the curriculum is free-form, it often isn't. There are no general education requirements, but students must fulfill liberal arts requirements along with the necessary courses in their areas of concentration. The workload is high, and the reading load is even greater. Outsiders assume that the lack of grades makes for a relaxed, easy lifestyle. This is untrue. While the evaluation system reduces competition among students, it does hold students accountable for everything they do. Self-discipline and sustained effort are required to excel. The result of initial poor performance will remain on the evaluation and will serve to inform the student, along with professor, as to areas of weakness. At New College of Florida, academics reign.

Bring Wolves Back to Colorado
With 97 wild wolves in the U.S. and fewer than 25 in Mexico, Mexican gray wolves, or lobos, are the most endangered gray wolves in the world. The wild wolves aren't just facing a dip in their numbers; they are also facing a genetic diversity crisis – a recipe for extinction. In order to save our lobos, officials from the Four Corner States need to allow recovery efforts north of Interstate 40, in the Grand Canyon ecoregion and in northern New Mexico/southern Colorado. According to the best available science, wolves can roam there and establish sustainable, healthy populations in suitable habitat. If science gives us the solutions to save our endangered species from extinction, we owe it to our kids and grandkids to use them.

You can slate me for having that opinion if you like but I really don't want to see our board drop to the level of vitriol and tripe so prevalent on some of the other club boards on Yahoo. This is a Spurs football board so PLEASE can we just concentrate on things Spurs-related and stop the petty backbiting that seems to be pervading the board of late.

WBA: Jones is Now Champ in Recess, Lebedev Gets Belt
By Ludo Saenz, notifight.com
On the third day of World Boxing Association's ongoing convention at the Sultan Hotel in Jakarta - WBA Executive Vice President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, who chairs the world championship committee announced that a group decision was made to downgrade Panamanian cruiserweight Guillermo Jones to the status of "champion in recess" due to his long inactivity in defending the WBA crown (since November 2011).
Jones was scheduled to defend his title against WBA ranked #15 Andres Taylor in Venezuela on October 27, but the fight was canceled due to an alleged injury suffered by Jones - and it never officially reported to the WBA.
Also, several months ago the WBA ordered Jones (38-3-2, 30KOs) to face interim-cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (24-1, 18KOs) in a mandatory fight.
Mendoza announced that Lebedev will be elevated to the status of "regular" WBA cruiserweight champion.
Jones was warned that if he doesn't see action in the next six months, then he would be fully stripped of his world title.
What a jokeComment by ddangerous on 10-30-2012
The WBA sure must like Jones.Comment by Ravens Fan on 10-30-2012
The champ is out to recess. Its actually pretty fitting considering that the WBA really is a kindergarten level organization.Comment by nycsmooth on 10-30-2012

moreWhen fifteen-year-old Beth Week's family is attacked by a grizzly, her father becomes increasingly violent, making him a danger to his neighbors, his family, and especially Beth. Meanwhile, several young children from the nearby Indian reservation have gone missing, and Beth fears that something is pursuing her in the bush. But friendship with an Indian girl connects her to a mythology that enriches her landscape; and an unexpected protector shores up her world.
Set on an isolated Canadian farm in the midst of World War II, The Cure for Death by Lightning evokes a life at once harshly demanding and rich in sensory pleasures: the deafening chatter of starlings, the sight of thousands of painted turtles crossing a road, the smell of baking that fills the Weeks's kitchen. The novel is sprinkled throughout with recipes and remedies from the scrapbook Beth's mother keeps, a boon to Beth as she learns to face down her demons--and one of many elements that give The Cure for Death by Lightning its enchanting vitality. less

Housing provider's adviser army to prepare 1000s of tenants for welfare reform
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Universal Credit
Plus Dane Group
A housing provider is sending out an army of advisers to inform its tenants about the Government's imminent welfare reforms.
Plus Dane Housing Group claims that many thousands of its residents across Merseyside and Cheshire will experience a drop in living standards and the risk of homelessness will increase when the planned benefit changes start in April 2013.
More than 600 Plus Dane employees will begin knocking on the doors of almost 3,000 tenants this week to give advice and support on the coming cuts to benefits and changes in the way they are claimed and paid.
From April, people receiving housing benefit will see a cut set at 14% of rent for one extra bedroom and 25% of rent for two or more extra bedrooms. The new rules also stipulate that two children of the same gender should share a room up until one of them is 16-years-old and that two children of different genders should share until one is 10.
Plus Dane's chief executive, Ken Perry, launched the 'Big Benefit Shake Up' campaign this week. He said: "Many people just do not realise just how deep these cuts are.
"We feel we cannot wait for these changes to come in before we take action, so every member of staff is being trained to go out into the streets to explain what's coming and make sure people prepare budgets, claim their full entitlements and continue paying their rent."
Mr Perry pledged that Plus Dane would do all it could to help any tenants who may struggle to pay rent under the new Universal Credit system.
He added: "Many will struggle with this. All housing associations face the horrible prospect of having to evict people and families, so Plus Dane is putting into place huge resources to help people who want to pay but can't, including specialist financial inclusion teams and partnerships with other expert organisations.
"It is vital people continue to pay their rent when the changes begin to come in, we will do all we can to help."

Fall 2015 Courses – RECLAIMING YOUR LIFE & SELF THROUGH CREATIVE REFLECTION
Most of us can't remember what it was like to feel pure joy: not relief that we've negotiated our way through another crisis; not satisfaction that we've covered off the needs of someone close to us; but actual joy in our own lives, our own authentic delights.
Spouses, parents, friends, children, colleagues, employees, – we're drowning in the roles we've assumed, panicking to be better, best, perfect, and running in place just to slip a little farther behind.
Instructor Sue Reynolds recognizes that most of us have complicated lives and relationships. Through the use of creative and reflective techniques (writing, collage, etc.) participants in this group will learn how to make space for and reclaim their lives, their joy and their essential Selves.

#52348 Oct 9, 2012
Agree. Did the president address the nation and express his sincere and deepest sympathy for the families and parents of the four who were murdered in the middle east? Who are the wives, parents and children of these men???
Apparently he would rather spend his campaign money on stupid Big Bird ads rather than admit that we were attacked on 9-11 in a pre-planned terrorist attack on our embassy and American citizens. Isn't it interesting how he avoids this issue yet, he found it more significant and timely to address the nation expressing his sincere and deepest sympathy for the family of, and death of, Trayvon Martin.

Let's apply some real-world facts here:
What happens to the statement "the advisory board 'shall not include any recommendation to ration health care, raise revenues or Medicare beneficiary premiums'" when the Democrats discover money doesn't grow on trees, and there isn't another country to put our government on its welfare roles?
If the government controls health care, and the government runs out of money, what goddam idiot would conclude the government won't ration health care, which will include death panels?
You idiot Democrats can't just walk into Ben Bernanke's office and tell him to print up some health care.
Sorry to invoke the real world into your hippy pipe dream....

A lot of these DUMB 'libs' have a willful blindness to the facts we have been presenting. They can not own up to being overcome with a constant worship of their dear leader for the 'false' hopey-changey effect he pulled on America.
With their deliberate ignorance, they will continue this charade, to hide this, even to the detriment of ALL Americans, in our Country, and in our embassies around the world.
I'm not sure, even, if some of them, in their ignorance, know that when these people attack these embassies, that it's the SAME as attacking The United States of America! America OWNS the property these embassies sit on! It is "sovereign" ground...
And now Lara Logan is calling out the admin about the taliban and its lie

Hey retard, yes you wtf,
Democrats: 11, Republicans: 0
Terrorist attacks under democrats:
-September 11, 2012, Benghazi, killed 4 Americans.(But can't call that a terrorist attack because it is an election year and democrats don't want to admit it.
-October 12, 2000, USS Cole, killed 19 U.S. sailors, injured 39
-August 7, 1998 U.S. Embassy in Kenya

-February 1993 - attack against the world trade center kills six and wounded 1,042.
Although you are not smart enough to see it, Bush inherited 9/11 from Clinton. It happened only 8 months into the Bush presidency and is the direct result of lack of national security policy for the previous 8 years.

President Bush headed to Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Monday to meet with wounded soldiers ahead of the Christmas holiday, but that's only the latest activity in a wide-ranging effort the president has made to comfort the families of the fallen.
According to The Washington Times, the self-described "comforter in chief" said it's his duty as president to try to help as "best as I humanly can a loved one who is in anguish."
The Times notes that people familiar with Bush's routine say he has written letters personally to every one of the families of the more than 4,000 troops who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq. The task has taken a toll, and Bush has relied on his wife, Laura, for emotional support, he said.
"I lean on the Almighty and Laura," the president told the Times. "She has been very reassuring, very calming."
Vice President Cheney has also met with family members of soldiers who have died.
Bush has met with more than 500 families of troops killed in action and with more than 950 wounded veterans, often during private sessions, White House spokesman Carlton Carroll told the newspap

Hey American Lady, you are wasting your time on this left coast california lib, you have a lot to offer, why don't you just ignore him and focus on the semi-smart ones, that is, those libs that might wake up before the election. There are some libs out there that are only libs because their parents were and they have not fully converted over to the dark side. Those left coasters have destroyed their own state and they want to bring the rest of the country down with them. Keep stating facts!!!

Undefeated junior featherweight titleholder Jhonatan Romero spoke to RingTV.com before he left for Atlantic City where he will defend his IBF belt against Kiko Martinez on Saturday in the co-featured bout to the Daniel Geale-Darren Barker fight on HBO.

Welcome to 1to1 Media — a multimedia resourcefor CRM and Customer Experience Professionals.
Though digital marketing may still be relatively new on the scene, this form of communication has already made its mark. Just since the late 1990s, the customer experience has undergone significant changes as marketers have had to acclimate to the introduction of email, live chat, social media, and mobile technologies—not to mention the penetration of the Internet overall. But, as in the past, each emerging channel brings with it an opportunity for companies to learn, adjust, and grow alongside the consumer.
Yet, even with nearly two decades of experience and exploration under their belts, digital marketers continue to struggle to adapt in conjunction with the evolving landscape. While some have embraced the need for constant innovation, others remain steadfast in their antiquated strategies, for they hesitate to undertake the risk that comes along with new investments. However, most will agree that this fast-paced space all but requires brands to integrate emerging technologies and adopt new skills if they are to retain their competitive advantage in an increasingly cutthroat economy.
Instead of distributing basic messaging out into the void, today's marketers must focus upon starting conversations and building brand relationships with the consumer. "Before digital marketing came on the scene, marketing was largely one way," says Adam Kapel, senior vice president of marketing and insights at Taykey. "Print, radio, and TV were used to broadcast messages to passive consumers. Now, marketers must think about how to interact with consumers—the complete opposite of what they were doing before. The fact that creative is now dominated by the desire to facilitate interactions, whether with an ad or directly with the brand, means that there are new skills to be learned."
According to Wilson Raj, global director of customer intelligence at SAS, the average marketer's goals remain unchanged, as they still strive to win, serve, and retain customers by providing value and building trust so that the business can greatly improve the chances of making sales over the course of the relationship. However, the scope of their role has changed dramatically, for they have gone from being brand and communications stewards to business drivers focused on positive outcomes.
But, as brands progress at their own individual pace, every company's digital marketing department demonstrates its own unique level of aptitude and maturity:
New marketers develop the basic skills necessary to carry out their duties.
Debbie Qaqish, principal and chief strategy officer at The Pedowitz Group, emphasizes that those new to the digital marketing space must master vital skills and establish the groundwork if they are to succeed. The following elements are critical for both those in the early stages of development, as well as those who need to reevaluate their current strategies:
Smart marketers avoid the 'bright, shiny objects' by focusing on the importance of data.
No matter the brand's stage of adoption, all digital marketing departments are susceptible to the allure of newfangled strategies and technologies. Marketers often stray toward what's fresh and popular before they assess the tactic or tool's total impact on the company's overarching goals.
"Being distracted by shiny objects comes at the expense of getting some of the most foundational experiences right," Lustberg emphasizes. "Marketers are not necessarily being held back from diving into digital, but are doing so in a way that does not always advance their maturity. Maturity requires you to understand, integrate, and practice in every available channel, not just new technology. It's important to take a 'big picture' approach and harmonize different initiatives to achieve the best possible results."
Thus, smarter, more advanced digital marketers focus on analyzing and incorporating customer data so they may create plans that play into the consumers' wants and needs. "The only ways to find success moving forward will be to put the customer first and base your strategies on actual data, which is really just a fancy way of saying customer feedback," says Joe Moriarty, founder of Content Raven. "Whether consciously or not, customers are telling you exactly what they like and don't like, what they'll respond to and what doesn't work."
These marketers implement systems that allow them to track content and obtain real-time feedback so they may observe interaction and engagement patterns. Smart strategy starts with the target audience, hence why marketers are increasingly aware of data's primary benefits. Digital body language offers marketers more insight than ever before, yet many are hesitant to fully embrace digital marketing, for it requires a dramatic change in both mindset and tactics, particularly for those accustomed to broadcasting messages, not engaging in interactive conversations. However, those who disregard the intimidation that often accompanies this changing marketing landscape and embrace the customer feedback at their fingertips will find their transition to be much smoother than those who remain reluctant, for they will continue to boost their strategic intelligence simply by tapping into the customer psyche.
Sophisticated marketers learn from one another to create an effective, collaborative environment.
In the marketing space, traditional marketers are considered old, while digital marketing stands to be dominated by the young. However, traditionalists often hesitate to embrace this know-how, as they perpetuate the myth that youth indicates immaturity. Yet, while young marketers don't have the same level of hands-on experience that older marketers have, these newcomers possess an innate ability to tackle and master the latest contact channels.
Digital marketing continues to evolve, as new channels—social, mobile, and video—offer innovative ways for consumers to engage. Many young marketing professionals, Kapel emphasizes, exercise great digital marketing maturity because they instinctively understand these channels, for they have had the opportunity to grow alongside these emerging technologies. Thus, older marketers now have the chance to learn from these savvy individuals, as they teach traditionalists how to approach these new channels and engage with consumers via these new online venues. Sophisticated marketing organizations are willing to push pride aside in order to learn from those who have knowledge to share.
However, just as the young have much to teach the old, traditionalists also have a wealth of expertise that's vital for younger marketers, as the more experienced generations have much to teach about fundamental marketing skills, such as writing and strategy. Once the gap between the age groups can be bridged, both sides of the organization will see their digital marketing maturity increase. Breaking down the barriers between experienced, but less digitally savvy marketers and the unseasoned, young professionals will help all of today's marketers become more well-rounded overall, for collaboration and constant learning remain at the heart of all successful organizations.

The 24-year-old Briton has been signed as Force India's reserve driver and got his first Friday run at Monza in Adrian Sutil's car.
After doing an impressive job to end the first session just four tenths of a second off team-mate Paul di Resta, Calado could not hide his delight.
"It was amazing and fantastic," said Calado, who also drove for Force India at this year's young driver test at Silverstone.
"It is quite a strange feeling to be out with all the other Formula 1 drivers. But I got used to everything and we did a good job.
"We found a good balance and I was happy. Everything ran smoothly and there were no big mistakes. It was nice really - and the novelty never wears off of being at maximum speed at the end of the straights."
Force India has said that Calado will get further free practice outings later this year, but no decision has been made yet about when they will be.
"I am sure I will be in the car again at some point, but it is not confirmed yet in terms of which races I will do," he explained.
"It depends on the battle between McLaren and Force India, so we will work around that."
Calado knows that his F1 race seat hopes will likely depend on securing sponsorship, but says all he can do for now is concentrate on doing his best.
"It is a tough situation, especially for a young driver," he said. "It is very political F1, but the ambition is to be a race driver.
"That is what I have always dreamed of and I will do my best to get there."
Calado will now return to GP2 duties with ART for the rest of the Monza weekend.
