Back in June at BEA, my friend Shanyn told me I should go check out the SoHo Press booth on the exhibit floor. I'm so glad I did because I had the opportunity to meet Meredith (who is the sweetest publicist ever) and learn more about SoHo's new young adult imprint, SoHo Teen. Their website describes the imprint as follows:
Soho Teen, coming in 2013, publishes a select list of YA mysteries and thrillers by international bestsellers, award winners, and debut novelists with stellar credits. Born of the conviction that compelling YA of any genre involves thrill and mystery, Soho Teen's titles include the paranormal and dystopian, the humorous and realistic, the tragic and uplifting—whatever serves a great story best. Soho Teen's small list is unique in that every title has a high-stakes, page-turning puzzle at its heart.
How great does that sound?! After chatting with Meredith for a bit and learning more about the imprint, I was thrilled to pick up the SoHo Teen sampler and snag a signed copy of The Sweet Dead Life by Joy Preble. Then just yesterday, I got a surprise in the mail – a copy of What We Saw at Night by Jacquelyn Mitchard.
The Sweet Dead Life by Joy Preble (May 2013)
14-year-old Jenna Samuels is being poisoned. So she does the unthinkable: gets in a car with her stoner brother Casey. They crash rushing to the hospital, and Jenna awakes in the ER to find that Casey has died—and come back as her guardian angel. He's now nauseatingly attractive to everyone and even more annoying to her, but they must work together to uncover the shocking truth about her poisoning and what it has to do with their father's disappearance.
What We Saw at Night by Jacquelyn Mitchard (January 2013)
In a small hospital town, a trio of teens rebel against their fatal diagnosis of XP (an allergy to sunlight) with late night Parkour, an extreme sport of daredevil risks-and while doing so uncover a human devil in their midst.
SoHo Teen has four other amazing books coming out in the first half of 2013. You can check out the covers and summaries here to learn more. You can also follow SoHo Teen on Facebook, Twitter, and sign up for their newsletter. Hooray for a new young adult imprint!

Jessica Simpson's part on CBS's April Fools' Day special, "I Get That a Lot," was so well received she's considering going for a dip in the reality show pool. And the former "Newlywed" is thinking about a show you might have heard of: "Dancing With the Stars."
"Jessica's fame skyrocketed when she was on 'Newlyweds,' and no other project has been the same runaway hit," says a friend of Simpson's. "She wants to be involved with something she's really good at, and people love Jess when she's just being herself. She never would have considered 'Dancing With the Stars' before, but she's not ruling it out now."
Even before "I Get That a Lot," which attracted 10.3 million viewers, "Dancing" had become a passing curiosity for Simpson. "When she saw Jewel was going to do it, it made her look at the show in a different light," says the friend.
'The View' gets a visit from 'SNL's' Behar
Fred Armisen, or actually, the Joy Behar persona he takes on for "Saturday Night Live," dropped by "The View" this week for an episode that airs April 3.
"View" costume designer Fran Taylor put Armisen and Behar in "the exact same outfit," according to an on-set source.
Video: Johnston talks abstinence, Palin Armisen, though gone from the studio, isn't forgotten. After he left, cast and crew were all still repeating Armisen's catchphrase for Behar, "So what, who cares?"
"It's caught on like wildfire," says the source.
Weekend box office
This weekend's box office prediction is one steeped in transparent, personal bias. So forgive and more importantly, please indulge me.
What should win at the box office this weekend is "Adventureland," for the simple reason that it's filmed largely in Pittsburgh's Kennywood Park, the amusement park of my upbringing.
For all the bad press my hometown gets, it's high time someone showed off one its best landmarks, and who better to do it than director Greg Mottola ("Superbad") and a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Jessie Eisenberg.
Slideshow: Celebrity Sightings It's opening only on 1,862 screens though, so "Fast & Furious," which opens on 3,462 screens is what will win. Look for "Monsters vs. Aliens" to stick around the top three, too.

Used Equipment
New Holland's experimental hydrogen-powered NH2™ tractor is a shining example of our commitment to making agricultural equipment that is at the cutting edge of innovation, while at the same time honors our tradition of smart, simple operation. Through this and other projects, we hope to provide farmers with new ideas that will one day allow them to achieve fuel autonomy. To see the NH2 in action, view video below.
The NH2 tractor is a 106-hp working prototype able to perform all the tasks of a T6000 tractor while operating almost silently and emitting only heat and water. The fuel cell generates less heat than an internal combustion engine; offers a consistent output of power; and does not produce polluting nitrogen oxides, soot particles or carbon dioxide. The clean operation of the tractor brings added health benefits when working in confined areas, such as barns or greenhouses.
Hydrogen-powered vehicles, such as the NH2 have been in development for several years, offering many benefits over battery-driven vehicles, which are efficient only in a stop-and-start cycle and take a long time to recharge.
Farmers are in a unique position to benefit from hydrogen technology. They have the space to install alternative electricity generation systems, such as solar, wind, biomass or waste, and then store that power as hydrogen. Apart from the environmental benefits, such a system would allow farmers to become energy independent and improve their financial stability.
The NH2 hydrogen-powered concept tractor and energy-independent farm concept puts an easier, safer, cleaner and more efficient future within reach. To learn more about the energy-independent farm concept, watch the video below.
New Holland's Energy Independent Farm and NH2 tractor concept won the coveted Gold medal at the 2009 SIMA Innovation Awards Show in Paris. SIMA awards are selected every two years by a 15-judge panel of experts. The awards represent the best in technology and innovation in the agricultural industry.

|Songs for Japan
|Compilation album by Various artists
Songs for Japan is a charity compilation album created to benefit relief efforts for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. A collaborative project between the music industry's "big four" record labels (EMI, Sony, Universal, and Warner), the album was released through the iTunes Store on March 25, 2011 through Universal. Royalties for the songs featured on the album were waived so that all proceeds may be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society. A physical album was released on April 4, 2011 through Sony. Adele's single "Make You Feel My Love" was featured on the album.
Although Songs for Japan received praise for its charitable purpose, it was criticized for being a compilation of already released songs, with the exception of Lady Gaga's remixed "Born This Way". This is unlike past charity albums such as Hope for Haiti Now that have included original music and performances.
Commerical performanceEdit
The album sold 68,000 copies in its first sales week in the United States, debuting at number six on the Billboard 200. It sold 8,000 copies in Canada and debuted at number three on the Candian Albums Chart. On the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand's compilations chart, the album debuted at number one. As of May 4, 2011, over 500,000 copies of the album have been sold, and over $5 million has been raised.
The song was certified as a gold record by the RIAJ in Japan for a shipment of 100,000 or more physical copies.

We go to Remington's at least once a month and have NEVER have had anything but the best in food and service! Can't wait for our next visit!
My family and I have rented from Extreme Water Sports many times. We have received great service each time. They have been more than willing to make reservations in advance and have also accommodated us when we need to change time due to weather. During our most recent rental we rented a ski boat and a tube. We had a great time, we were given a thorough explanation of how to operate the boat and where we could and could not go. They also advised us to go to particular spots which would be calmer water and less crowded. The boat had more than enough power to tow the tube. We enjoyed our time on the water and plan to be back again in the future.
Bud's Pub could be best in the Lakes Area, but staffing hurts its potential. It's either packed (rarely) or barren (often), plus it's over priced--think "snotty." With quality chefs, choice specialties, and a renewed advertising campaign, Bud's Pub could be the best place in town. Sad: The ambiance and views are great, the rest is not. I like Bud's Pub for noon burgers but not for romantic evenings, which could be so good at.
Awesome omelets, great burgers. service has always been great for me. I go every Sunday, and many others. Have never had a bad experience.
It's a state park people reservations are on line. The phone is in a shack that some college kid sits in a few hours a day. The office is in another park. They didn't even accept reservations until 2010.

Security professionals who want to protect security budgets during the downturn need to better align their operations with overall business goals, Gartner said last week. That includes treating users as customers and not as obstacles in the race to implement new security technologies.
During an information security summit in London, Research Vice President Jay Heiser told attendees that Gartner frequently sees security professionals make four risk management mistakes:
"Simple, manageable risk assessment frameworks, explicit acceptance of residual risk, and security service level agreements will make it possible to deliver sound enterprise security, and to defend security budgets against cutbacks," said Heiser. "The first step that IT risk managers can take towards better alignment with the business is not to treat business managers as a problem that needs to be solved, but rather to regard them as customers who need secure and reliable computing services."
Heiser has written a Gartner research note, "Four Risk Management Mistakes That Threaten Your Security Budget" ($95), on the topic. Further information can be found here.

openSUSE Build Service Now Open Build Service
openSUSE Build Service has a new name and new website.
openSUSE community manager Jos Poortvliet announced that the openSUSE Build Service has been renamed Open Build Service in response to its open and cross-distribution model. "It is and will remain an openSUSE project, with significant contributions from SUSE and openSUSE community members as well as many others from communities like MeeGo and VLC, but also be more clear about its cross-distribution, cross-project goals and ambitions," he says in his blog post.
This week Novell announced commercial support options for the Open Build Service (OBS) via a new OBS Developer Services (DS) program. Poortvliet explains, "Under this program, customers will receive support for configuration and setup issues as well as the ability to get code fixes for bugs that affect them. As part of this program, SUSE is also collecting requirements to the OBS software and will input this into the planning process for OBS. SUSE will be working with partners to enable and back them to offer implementation and consulting services."

The first thing you notice about Wayne Webb's Columbus Bowl is that you don't notice it. It sits at the end of a driveway that runs between an auto parts store and a carry-out on South High Street, its sign all but lost in the visual noise of telephone poles and competing signs.
"We're hidden," Webb said. "We don't have a good sign. We've put so much money into this place that we can't afford too many more upgrades until we start bringing some back."
On the list of challenges that Webb and his wife, Elaine, face every day, visibility is pretty far down the list. The bowling business itself is not without major challenges — the PBA Hall of Famer said that league bowlers everywhere have been fleeing at a rate of 7 percent a year — and when the Webbs bought what was then Rainbow Lanes in April 2010, it was "dirty and very much in the '70s."
Webb admits he didn't have any idea what he was getting into when decided to quit working in a pro shop in Sacramento, Calif., and become part-owner of his own center.
"Hell, no," he said, laughing. " Hell, no. I had a great life. I didn't know that I was going to jump into such a …"
He didn't finish the thought, which might have been for the best.
"I was ready to retire."
Columbus should be grateful that he didn't. South Siders sometimes feel like they live in a neglected corner of an exploding city, so what the Webbs are doing in their small corner of it is no small thing. With no connection to Columbus beyond a business partner in Dayton who wanted to buy something nearby, they took a risk on an outdated bowling center on a depressed side of town.
They have spent three years turning it into a beautiful facility with a sports bar — Laney's — that Webb says "is probably the nicest bar in the South End." They have played host to the PBA Senior Masters and the state high-school tournament for the past three years and have a contract for the next two and are one of three local centers (Columbus Western Bowl and Holiday Lanes are the others) playing host to the men's and women's U.S. Open this week.
The Webbs invested just about everything they had to make it work and are finally beginning to see it pay dividends.
"We went bankrupt to move here," Webb said. "We were all in. If it were Texas Hold-em, we were all in and we'd better get the right cards at the end, and we're still waiting for it. We took a huge chance. That's why it's all or nothing. We have to make it work, and that's why part of it is so important to us that we do the right thing and try to make people happy."
It's not easy. Webb, 57, bowls most of if not all of the 11-event senior tour in the summer, which coincides with the slowest time of the year for most bowling centers. But when the tour ends in August, he spends the next eight months opening the lanes seven days a week, oiling the lanes, does the financials and even makes his own sauce for the pizza in the restaurant. He calls Laney's his wife's "baby," and says they are determined to serve high-quality food that will draw diners who aren't bowlers.
The commitment is especially impressive given their backgrounds. He is a son of a Rehoboth, Mass., bowling proprietor who has lived all over the place. She is a California native who worked for a lobbyist in Sacramento and spent several years doing similar work in Washington.
"This is a different kind of politics," she said. "A different ballgame. It's a tough business. There are a lot of challenges, even on the kids side. This house used to be packed with kids. Where did they go? They're out there somewhere."
So are lots of central Ohio bowlers who have never been to their bowling center and probably never will, even though it's a nice place that keeps getting nicer.
"We're trying to pull people in from other parts of the city," Webb said. "But unbeknownst to me, a lot of bowlers, if you don't live in the South End, they don't come to the South End, and I'm trying to change that. And it's working a little bit. I've pulled some bowlers from other parts of the city but we just have to keep getting better at what we do and say, 'You need to come here, because we care.'"
They need to go there this week because of the U.S. Open. Having the men's and women's events in the same place is unprecedented. A lot of the sports greats, such as Webb, Pete Weber and Walter Ray Williams are there and, well, the sign will come later. . .
"We need a big sign like 'House of Babes,'" Elaine joked, referring to one of their South High Street neighbors. "We need balloons or something."
They already have something: Wayne and Elaine Webb.
Bob Hunter is a sports columnist for The Dispatch.

There's no word on how the fire may have started.

In an address at the Newseum, Secretary Clinton spoke on the importance of freedom of expression and the free flow of information on the Internet. The Secretary said:
"On their own, new technologies do not take sides in the struggle for freedom and progress, but the United States does. We stand for a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas. And we recognize that the world's information infrastructure will become what we and others make of it. Now, this challenge may be new, but our responsibility to help ensure the free exchange of ideas goes back to the birth of our republic."
Secretary Clinton outlined five key freedoms of the Internet Age. First among them is the freedom of expression. Secretary Clinton said, "This freedom is no longer defined solely by whether citizens can go into the town square and criticize their government without fear of retribution. Blogs, email, and text messages have opened up new forums for exchanging ideas – and created new targets for censorship. As I speak to you today, government censors are working furiously to erase my words from the records of history. But history itself has already condemned these tactics."
The freedom of expression may be the most obvious freedom to face challenges with the spread of new technologies, but it is not alone. Secretary Clinton also spoke about the freedom of worship. She said, "Prayers will always travel on higher networks. But connection technologies like the internet and social networking sites should enhance individuals' ability to worship as they see fit, come together with people of their own faith, and learn more about the beliefs of others. We must work to advance the freedom of worship online just as we do in other areas of life."
Secretary Clinton continued, "We know from long experience that promoting social and economic development in countries where people lack access to knowledge, markets, capital, and opportunity can be frustrating, and sometimes futile work. In this context, the Internet can serve as a great equalizer. By providing people with access to knowledge and potential markets, networks can create opportunity where none exists."
There are hundreds of millions of people living without the benefits of these technologies. In many cases, the Internet, mobile phones and other connection technologies can do for economic growth what the green revolution did for agriculture. Information networks should be used to help lift people out of poverty, to advance freedom from want.
Some, though, will use global information networks for darker purposes. Violent extremists, criminal cartels, sexual predators and authoritarian governments all seek to exploit global networks. Secretary Clinton underscored that we must ensure the freedom from fear for those who use the Internet for peaceful purposes. The Secretary said, "Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation. In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all. By reinforcing that message, we can create norms of behavior among states and encourage respect for the global networked commons."
The Secretary then said, "The final freedom I want to address today flows from the four I've already mentioned: the freedom to connect -- the idea that governments should not prevent people from connecting to the Internet, to websites, or to each other. The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly in cyber space. It allows individuals to get online, come together, and hopefully cooperate in the name of progress. Once you're on the Internet, you don't need to be a tycoon or a rock star to have a huge impact on society."
The Secretary announced that the State Department and USAID will work with a wide range of partners outside of government to build upon these principles going forward and that by harnessing the power of connection technologies we will practice 21st century statecraft that empowers citizens, and leverages our traditional diplomacy.
The Secretary said, "We are well placed to seize the opportunities that come with interconnectivity. And as the birthplace for so many of these technologies, we have a responsibility to see them used for good. To do that, we need to develop our capacity for 21st century statecraft."
The State Department will launch programs to promote Internet freedom, expand access to the Internet by women and other groups; implement programs which trains and supports civil society groups and NGOs in the use of new media technologies that enhance communication and coordination efforts; and support a series of pilot projects starting this spring that will use new media to connect people -- particularly young people -- to expand civic participation and increase the new media capabilities of civil society in the Middle East and North Africa.
Secretary Clinton concluded, "We need to create a world in which access to networks and information brings people closer together, and expands our definition of community. Given the magnitude of the challenges we're facing, we need people around the world to pool their knowledge and creativity to help rebuild the global economy, protect our environment, defeat violent extremism, and build a future in which every human being can realize their God-given potential."

Dear Madame Secretary of State,
Personally you and your staff, are leading a great tech revolution that will make our world better! It's exactly what the podium says: NEWSEUM.
What I understood from your inspired words is: Forget the "Museums†and start working on the NEWSEUMS. It's the only way to make our planet better.
According to my opinion, you all do a great job, concerning new media and technologies.
I am very proud visiting and participating in this social forum.
Thank you very much Madame Secretary.

Franklin Roosevelt built on these ideas when he delivered his Four Freedoms speech in 1941, freedom of expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear transcended the troubles of his day.
Today, we find an urgent need to protect these freedoms on the digital frontiers of the 21st century.
Any details to explain in a simple and easy way ?

Mike L. in Massachusetts writes:
It's good that the government is acknowledging the importance of a free internet in today's society, but Madame Secretary is off on one huge point, which defeats the effectiveness of her speech: Whatever good may come of the internet, whatever extremism we defeat, whatever internet technology leads to a healthier environment, whatever maximum potential the internet helps every human reach in the future, that achievement and potential is not given to them by any King, or Government, or Deity: People earn their potential just for being people, just for existing, just for seeking to learn about the world around them.
The internet is a massive force for good in this world. The internet is without a doubt the single greatest achievement of humanity. The internet is the most powerful tool available to an individual with a cause. If you have to chalk all those years of engineering, all the massive technological leaps, all the free speech already available on the internet up to a God and not the countless hours of dedication by some of the most intelligent people in all of history, perhaps you shouldn't be using an internet that you, Madame Secretary, don't understand.
On and off the internet, there are no Gods or Kings -- only Men.

Donald M. in Virginia writes:
Communications is a double edged sword. Receive and transmit signals. A receiver has five parts, receive, select, detect, reproduce and amplify
the signals, two important parts "Selectivity and Sensitivity" Selecting means to select the frequency your listening too, where as Sensitivity covers the lowest amount of signal that goes into a receiver and it detects and then reproduces the signal to allow be heard. Listening is one of best tools for all people on earth. God gave people two ears to listen and one mouth to speak. Which means Wisdom comes from hearing the intelligence and gaining understanding of the speaker. Knowledge is learned. It can be the greatest tool to people or the last signal of hope. The cavemen most likely used fire to generate smoke signals along with our Native Americans. A flashing light, a mirror which reflects an image or can be used to create fire. A flag hangs upside down indicates distress, knowing the frequencies during emergencies to help people. VHF 121.5 Air Distress contacting a plane and VHF 500 can be used to radio help to ships around the world. Cell phones have played a significant role in helping people during emergencies. They can also be a distraction as well. When you think back 100 years ago, NO Internet, NO Cell phones, or Blackberries, what did people do?
Even the most primative means to communicate still works today. Smoke signals, flashing light, day shapes from a mask of a ship, flaps on a plane, noise, or even just tapping out S.O.S a series of (three dits ... three dahs --- three dits ... ) over and over again until someone hears you.
God gave us five senses. During emergencies you have to use them. Smelling your area for clean oxygen, breathing conditions, touching and feeling your environment, seeing with your eyes, tasting food, and hearing. Listening to your surroundings.
Godbless and Peace to the World!!!
John F. in U.S. writes:
The Secretary's position is a clear, resounding, and welcome call for the extension of democratic principles to our emerging technologies. The foresight shown here is the equivalent to this country's early commitment to libraries and then the Interstate Highway system. Each created opportunity and equal access for all; each shows enlightened self-interest; each is a bridge to a better future. Only this time it's global. That the typewriter generation recognizes and embraces the future in this way is a profound credit to them.
Thank you!

i was Literally just having a "conference of concern" within the depths of my own mind this past week, worrying over the fate of the internet.
Suffice to say, reading over the details of Miss Clinton's speech my nerves were put to ease. It is a great relief to know that the government is recognizing the importance, value, and immense power of the internet.
on a side note: what a shame it is that there are such few comments on this topic, not to mention that only 1 comment prior to my own was from an American. I hope this doesn't reflect or forshadow that the rest of the worLd is/will be more interested in the events of the US than it's citizens themselves.

Catherine F. in New York writes:
Secretary Clinton's message rings out strongly in countries that suppress the Internet like China or Belarus or Turkmenistan, and it's good to see America stand up for what makes it strong and benefits all countries, and not get contorted about "imposing our way of life on others" -- because this is about universal human rights.
But the celebration of the First Amendment on the Internet rings hollow given that the First Amendment *does not apply on government websites* open to the public for comments. Here on this very page, the TOS are as restrictive as any corporate blog service, the First Amendment cannot be invoked, and some of the worst features of MMORPG forums like "voting up and down" and "report this post for abuse" have been incorporated, in blatant violation of First Amendment protections, on sites like the White House Office for Science and Technology. All this needs to be reviewed and changed.

I'm a junior school student from Shenzhen, China, where Internet is widely used and informations are mainly spread with new medias comparing to other cities.
Censorship has bothered a lot of people, especially young people in China. And Chinese government are putting efforts to restrict freedom of speech, even freedom of opinions. I believed it was a domestic issue, but in this interconnected world, it obviously has become a global issue. You did a great job on making statements, and I'm looking forward to seeing much more actions against chinese censorship policy. And I hope that US government can take action though WTO.
Thank you for your speech and I'm deeply impressed.
Joshua J. in Texas writes:
Very well delivered Secretary Clinton.
It seems you have essentially named a worthy common goal, free access to uncensored information for every human. As the solution is already known, all that is left is to map a path from where we are now towards that end. I like to work backwards so, one logical step would be to ensure access for all United States citizens. Why not go Pan-American with that concept? Set the standard at home and lead by example.
Great Start - I love it,

As much as I admire Madam Secretary Clinton she is missing two important points in this Internet/Google spat. Firstly, Google knew the terms and conditions demanded by the Chinese Gov't BEFORE they leapt this arrangement. Now they what to renage on it, and thats supposed to be OK. This says an awful lot about doing business with US companies. Secondly, Madam Secretary clearly understands little about about Chinese history. Things change culturally at a much slower pace than in the west, and the Chinese Gov't have actually stated that in the past.
Brad A. in Georgia writes:
Secretary Clinton,
I applaud and support you comments on freedom of the knowledge on the Internet. The people of the world deserve the freedom of thought, even if they are denied the freedom of speech.
It is disheartening to imagine that possibly the best minds of our age may be confined behind something as simple as a filter.
Paolo S. in Italy writes:
Dear Madame Secretary of State,
Many thanks for your fascinating speech, I appreciated a lot in particular what you said about the 'freedom of expression'': "This freedom is no longer defined solely by whether citizens can go into the town square and criticize their government without fear of retribution. Blogs, emails, social networks, and text messages have opened up new forums for exchanging ideas, and created new targets for censorship.â€
Moreover: "The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace. It allows individuals to get online, come together, and hopefully cooperate. Once you're on the internet, you don't need to be a tycoon or a rock star to have a huge impact on society.â€
These days are sad days, bad days for the Italian demcracy. Mr Berlusconi has won two general elections and can claim to have a mandate from Italians who have long known the charges against him. But Italy has failed to mature politically thanks to his dominance of the scene. It has been mired in disputes between politicians and judges over Mr Berlusconi's fate. It has failed to establish a clear separation of government and media powers. Berlusconi is ruling Italy by 'ad personam' laws, thought up to elude the trials instituted by Italian courts against him for alleged corruption.
The head of government in a democracy cannot be above the law. Any other verdict would have been a further deformation of Italy's dysfunctional political system.
Through internet, as 'Purple People Network' on Facebook, we organised the international demonstration 'No Berlusconi Day' last 5th December, asking he to resign and defend against the accusations of alleged corruption.
The 'freedom to connect', at the moment, it's the only way we have for exchanging ideas and criticize our government in Italy.
Thanks again

I can't believe how much it sparkles, it's beautiful! I stopped waiting for special occasions to wear things that could be considered too dressy for casual everyday wear and this gets worn almost every day. And since you can't beat the price, I prefer to enjoy it on my wrist instead of in my jewellery box. Fabulous!!!
Beautiful bracelet, but...
By Elle
from Ottawa, ON
It is an amazing bracelet! It looked so real! I ordered the 6.75 size, it was perfect for my wrist. I loved the sparkle, I loved the secure closure on both sides of the bracelet but felt that the stones were a wee bit large for me. I am hopeful that a similar bracelet with smaller stones and SIZE (6.75) will be made available. Much to my regret, I returned this lovely item.

I bought this the very first time that it was a show stopper. LOVED IT SO MUCH that both my sister and I bought it for our daughter-in-laws for Christmas. The WOW factor is nothing but spectacular!! And for all the ladies that think others would think that this isn't real, well, my sister has one that is a REAL 13K diamond bracelet, and I still like mine better!!!!

Absolutely Stunning!
By Queen of Quality Bargain Bling
from Lethbridge, Alberta
When I opened the beautiful box & pretty satin sack the brilliance of the Diamonelle Tennis Bracelet took my breath away. I am a very small boned person so I worried a bit that the bracelet would be over powering on me, but it looks simply gorgeous! I actually purchased the size 8, knowing it would be far too big, but it makes perfect sense because the price was the same for every size, so I'm just going to have my jeweller resize the bracelet for me, & then I will have the extra 5 or 6 Diamonelle stones made into a pair of earrings & possibly a ring.. The quality of the stones is impeccable so why not take advantage of the extra stones when the price is the same no matter what size you choose? I do recommend to double check each & every claw holding each stone because I did find that one of my stones was loose & upon closer inspection I found that one of the claws holding that stone was broken off, but as I'm having the bracelet resized I didn't bother to send it back for exchange.

This is a very nice bracelet with great flexibility . Yes, maybe the stones are a bit large but I don't wear diamonds to work. Great for a party or cruising when you want to sparkle
Lots of Sparkle!
By Debbie

I've been wanting a tennis bracelet for a long time and was so pleased to see it as a show stopper that I didn't hesitate to order it. I love this piece of jewellery! It's very hard to tell the difference between this and real diamonds. Even though the stones aren't small, it looks believable and the sparkle, especially under certain lighting, is absolutely beautiful! The smaller size was perfect for me and is very comfortable to wear. So far I haven't had any issues with the clasp. I love that I got it for such a great price too!
Love it!

The wife just loves it & suggested as my grand daughter is graduating this summer buy her one as a grad gift along with some earrings you had on sale. We hope she likes them as much as we do.

Narrow your search by selecting one or more of the options below:
The House Science, Space and Technology Committee on May 11 questioned Paul Anastas, administrator of EPA's Office of Research and Development whether a proposed study by the Agency to determine if the oil-drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing contaminates drinking water is necessary based on no confirmed incidents of such contamination. Anastas said the study draft plan that was issued in February 2011, is intended to assess if there are factors that could cause potential harm to people and the environment and not intended as a risk assessment. Anastas said the study would cost $4.3 million in fiscal year 2011 and is estimated to cost a total of $12 million. EPA expects the initial results by the end of 2012. Elizabeth Jones, commissioner of the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates oil and gas extraction in the state testified that no cases of groundwater contamination from hydraulic fracturing ever been confirmed and States could lose $785 billion in revenue as well as jobs if hydraulic fracturing were prohibited. A study by Duke University published May 9 on methane contamination of drinking water wells at three sites in the Northeast found that contamination was substantially higher near natural gas wells, but the contamination did not include fluids used in fracking (see related TWIW story below).

Don't Ignore the Anecdotes
May 7, 2014
Whenever I'm in New York I make a point of calling a number of my economist and investor friends and arranging a "dinner with interesting people." Thankfully, Rich Yamarone is almost always at the table, because his insights into what's happening in the real economy, beyond Wall Street, are unrivaled.
Rich is Chief Economist at Bloomberg and the creator of Bloomberg's Orange Book, a compilation of key insights from CEOs, taken from quarterly earnings calls. He is also part of the team of 7 top economists who write the daily must-read Bloomberg Economics Brief. (Tom Keene of Bloomberg Surveillance is a contributor, too.) If you are a trader, broker, or portfolio manager or are just interested in keeping up with all things economic, this is a good way to do it. You can learn more here.
For today's Outside the Box, Rich has written a piece that summarizes his chief concerns about the domestic economy in 2014. Those concerns focus around the fact that growth in both real disposable personal incomes (adjusted for inflation and taxes) and consumer spending have barely advanced in the wake of the Great Recession.
In compensation – and it's an unhealthy form of compensation – government transfer payments as a percentage of disposable income have grown from 9% in 1970 to nearly 20% today.
To make matters worse, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is having a real impact not just on hiring and firing but also on hours worked per employee; and Rich gives us some helpful anecdotes and data on this situation.
I am really looking forward to having Rich – who many of his friends have taken to calling "Lord Vader" – debate David Zervos, Chief Economist at Jefferies, who is more the Obi Wan Kenobe type – sweetness and light and lover of all things to do with quantitative easing.
I find myself this afternoon in Geneva, where tomorrow I will make several presentations and do a lot of interviews. This is a beautiful city but ghastly expensive for someone using dollars.
It seems I caused the recent weakness in the dollar and strength in the Japanese yen by actually buying ten-year put options on the yen. I would expect these things to come back, of course, but perhaps I should alert traders when I decide to put on the rest of the trade. The market so likes to make me look foolish, at least in the short term. Some friends here in Geneva have decided to take me out to eat at a Japanese restaurant tonight as consolation, which is fine, as I do love sushi and things that go with it.
And let me address one failure last week when I was listing the people who helped me with my house and mortgage process. The entire process was orchestrated by my able young associate Shannon Stanton. The massive paperwork would not have gotten done, nor would the budgets or anything else. And my other assistant, Mary Haddad, keeper of the schedule and coordinator of everything, is also key in making my life run semi-smoothly while on the road. Thanks!
Have a great week.

Don't Ignore the Anecdotes
By Richard Yamarone
My top three fears for 2014 are: 1) income inequality that erodes the middle class, reducing the income and spending power of the primary engine of the U.S. economy, 2) widespread Chinese economic deceleration and an associated shadow banking crisis, and 3) a possible student loan bubble and widespread defaults amid elevated delinquencies.
After speaking extensively in 2013 and almost every week of this…
