About 2 years ago, there was a lot of writing done on community lending or social lending and companies such as Prosper. Funny enough, my MBA Strategy exam was on the impact of social lenders on banks (no wonder I got an awesome grade in this class 😉 ).
Social lending was meant to great success during the economic boom. However, we all wondered how it would go during an economic crisis while people default on their loan. Would they be able to find people that will still lend money to Sexygirl69 so she can start a new hair salon? The truth is that Prosper went pretty quiet for the past 6 months, trying to find a solution to this huge problem: the lack of liquidity in the credit business.
Instead of injecting money into the credit market, banks are taking the money from US and Canadian government to re capitalize them. Banks that survive the credit crunch of 2008, survived what they call an economic shock. While running their economic stress simulation, they all realized that while they were strong enough to get through the first shock, they are not capitalized enough to face another crisis. Therefore, they keep the money for themselves and do not pass it on to the population looking for credit.
So where is Prosper after the credit crisis?
Well it seems that Prosper is coming back from the dead stronger than ever 😉 They actually want to benefit from the credit shrink created by banks. While people don't have any other places to get credit, chances are that they will turn around and create an online borrower profile and start requesting money through the social lending sites.
The Government of California authorized Prosper to resume its activities and add a whole new feature: Open Market. They will grant loan companies to participate in Prosper's model and sell loans on the market. I guess they would probably do it the other way around and request money from investors to lend to more people as well. Social lending may come as a great help for banks too!
Through this initiative, Prosper hopes to increase their share of the credit market while providing access to credit to a lot of people in California with their social lending platform. Getting money from banks seem to be quite a challenge these days and Prosper saw the breech in the banks brick wall.
The evolution of this new business model will be quite interesting as the improvement of our economy (a part of it) could result from action of people lending money to others through social lending and restart the wheel of credit. I'm not saying that everybody should borrow money for the sake of the economy, far from it. However, if you need money from a project and banks don't want to loosen up their wallet, you rather get it elsewhere!
I've made a recent search for social lender in Canada and I didn't find any active one. There is Community Lend and IOU (I Owe You) but both of them are not open yet. I just can't wait to be able to lend to people ;-).

First, a quick note to mention that my article about Realtors in on the 108th Carnival of Personal Finance hosted by Broke-A$$ Student. I am getting in the habit of participating in this great carnival. Definitely a good way to get in contact with other bloggers!
After the interview I had with David Andreatta from the Globe and Mail and Canadian Capitalist's post on social lending, I thought I would go a little bit further in my thoughts. Why social lending appears appealing to me as most people think it is almost evil and doesn't make sense whatsoever. I can appreciate their concerns as lending money to individual can be hard game as all players are not necessarily playing fair. There are golden banking rules to respect in order to be successful.
Why would I bother lending to individuals when I can get 4% on a saving bank account with no risk?
This reasoning is not bad at first. In fact, why bother investing money anywhere when you are 100% sure to get 4% in your pocket right? Most people that will tell they aim 15% return in their portfolio might have started investing two years ago. Or even worst, they might have never reached their goal once and still pretend. On a borrower's perception, lending money on a social lending website is being done thinking they can earn 10% on their investment. Therefore, the spread before taxes is now 6%. According to Prosper's rate chart, only AA credit will be able to borrow at less than 10%. Therefore, I think the potential return is there.
Why lend money when I can invest in mutual funds giving me the same expected return?
Although I am not a big fan of diversification within the same financial product, I think that diversifying ways of making money can be very smart. When you lend to individuals, your return will not be correlated too much to the stock markets. Therefore, you create another asset that is independent from your investment. Rental properties incur the same kind of risk than social lending except that it requires much bigger investment. Nonetheless, both assets require that you trust individuals capacity of repayment. The major difference is that your rental property will increase in value; however, you are tied up with a mortgage that can get you in big trouble if you can't make the payment. I think that your portfolio should be spread among different type of investment products such as mutual funds, rental properties and social lending.
What is the tax implication of social lending income?
This is definitely one of the bad points of social lending. Income earned thought loans are interest by nature. Therefore, the income is added to your taxable revenue and is subject to your marginal tax rate. For most of us, it means that 40% of what you earn will not get in your pockets but in the government's pocket. Unless there is some taxation rule that I ignore, I don't think there is any escape to this. Unfortunately, the borrowers can not pay you the Canadian way.
From what I know (as I was not given the chance to try any system yet), social lending can be another great tool to create assets and to produce income over time. As it is the case with regular investments, your performance will be determined by your involvement (effort and time) toward your credit portfolio.

'Thor: The Dark World' IMAX Release Confirmed For November 8th
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.11.05
IMAX Corporation and Marvel Entertainment, a division of The Walt Disney Company, today announced that Marvel's Thor: The Dark World, starring Chris Hemsworth , will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® 3D format and released into IMAX® theatres across North America beginning November 8th.
Chris Hemsworth has previously played Thor, the god of Thunder, in two highly successful Marvel films: 2011's Thor and 2012's Marvel's The Avengers, which collectively grossed nearly $2 billion at the global box office. In this latest adventure, Academy Award® winners Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins will also reprise their roles along with Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander and Rene Russo. Alan Taylor has directed from a story by Don Payne and Robert Rodat, and a screenplay by Christopher L. Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
Thor: The Dark World opened in some international IMAX territories this past weekend, generating approximately $5.3 million in 136 IMAX theatres. The film will also open in additional international IMAX territories, including China.
"Marvel's dynamic characters and action-driven stories always create excitement among moviegoers," said Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX Entertainment and Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. "We're very happy to continue our wonderful partnership with Marvel and Disney and present another installment of the iconic Thor series in the immersive IMAX 3D format."
The IMAX release of Marvel's Thor: The Dark World will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX 3D Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
Marvel's Thor: The Dark World continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel's "Thor" and "Marvel's The Avengers," Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos...but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. To defeat an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor sets upon his most dangerous and personal journey yet, forced into an alliance with the treacherous Loki to save not only his people and those he loves but our universe itself.
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Marvel's Thor: The Dark World is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne and Robert Rodat and screenplay by Christopher L. Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and is based on Marvel's classic super hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book Journey Into Mystery #83 in August, 1962.
Thor: The Dark World is presented by Marvel Studios. The executive producers are Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Craig Kyle, Alan Fine, Nigel Gostelow and Stan Lee. The Film Releases November 8th, 2013, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

A long weekend of next to nothing
Trip Start Mar 03, 2005
80Trip End Apr 08, 2006
Finishing school at 1pm on a friday afternoon gave me plenty of time to get down to Kep to maximise my time. One of the (now ex) teachers at ACE, Lisa, was heading down at the same time and offered to give me a ride in her partner's work car. That sounded much better than share taxi-ing it, even if it meant sharing the ride with their kids, an 8 year old boy obsessed with computer games and a very cute but loud 4 year old girl. With only a few wrong turns after the sun went down, we found Veranda guesthouse on a hillside in Kep at around 8pm.
Everyone had been telling me about how fantastic Veranda was, and waking at 7am the next morning I could see why. I had a small bungalow with a balcony, and stepping out just after sunrise I was blown away by the view. Before me were the palm trees and crab market lining the shore, and beyond that the vastness of the gulf of Thailand. Looming Bokor Mountain was clearly visible to the north west as well. I knew I'd enjoy spending the afternoon on my hammock doing nothing but sleeping, reading and letting the view soak in, but I was determined to do a little siteseeing in the morning. After breakfast I walked down the hill and found a moto driver who knew the way to Kompong Trach, a former Khmer Rouge stronghold about 25km away. I had heard rumour about some limestone karst scenery with deep caves in the area, which is something I hadn't yet seen in Cambodia. It was one of the few places where I knew of not a single person who'd been there.
On the way, we stopped at a small mountain just outside Kep called Phnom Sorsia. Atop this mountain was a small pagoda once used as a prison (and place of extermination) by the Khmer Rouge, and two small caves. The caves themselves weren't spectacular, although the second one I visited had hundreds of bats squawking around the roof. The best thing about this site was an incredible view over the huge rice fields below, and the town of Kampot at the foot of Bokor mountain. I didn't linger too long, instead heading out to Kompong Trach while it was still quite early.
Along the way, my moto driver pointed out a mountain range not far to the north, with a few houses below. This was the site where three backpackers, including an Australian, were held captive for two months in 1994 after the Khmer Rouge hijacked a train. They were later executed there. My driver informed me that Khmer Rouge still lived in the hills, although they were disarmed now, and led a peaceful life away from the troubles of current Cambodian politics. The leader who authorised the hijacking, Chouk Rin, was recently recaptured after he was given a pardon following his trial a few years ago. Some long overdue justice perhaps?
The drive to Kompong Trach was really beautiful. The rice fields were really green, and the shutters and doors of the houses in the town were all painted blue, giving the surroundings vivid colour. The limestone karsts weren't as big as those I saw near Vang Vieng in Laos, but they were still really beautiful, rising up out of the rice paddies. They seemed almost out of place, as in the eight months I'd spent in Cambodia I hadn't seen any landscape quite like this.
We rode around the base of one of the karsts, at times through submerged parts of the road, until we reached a small opening between two of the karsts. There was a pagoda here (Wat Kirisam), and as soon as the kids relaxing in the shade saw the barang on the back of the bike, they lept up to offer their services as a guide. Unlike the many other tourist attractions I'd visited in Cambodia, they didn't decide who would guide me amongst themselves, but they all came along! Three older ladies and five children all lit torches to show me the entrance to the cave. It felt almost Indiana Jones-esque, being led through caverns with a lot of local guides by the light of a flame! After walking about 100m, stopping to admire a formation that looked like a turtle and a strange statue of a very skinny monk fasting, we came across a huge hollow in the middle of the karst. To one side there was a large statue of a reclining buddha, but on the other three sides there were more caves. My guides led me as far as they could into them, but unfortunately the wet season had taken its toll on this site, and all of the caves were underwater. They looked spectacular, with stalactites reaching down into the underwater lakes, however I was disappointed that I couldn't explore further. The most interesting attractions were a buddha in the middle of one of these lakes, a formation resembling tiered rice paddies (similar to those I've seen in Vietnam) and a big formation looking remarkably like an elephant!
After we left the cave, the kids showed me a monkey they had tied up, although it didn't take long for them to realise I wasn't impressed by its captivity. They followed me over to the pagoda, inside which were some pretty graphic murals of people being tortured in the buddhist hell. I saw paintings similar to these on a mountain near Kratie, although the light was much better for photos here.
My moto driver took me back to Kep via a different route, and we had lunch at the crab market overlooking the gulf of Thailand. The fried noodle and veg I had here was twice as cheap and twice as good as that the guesthouse, and the girl working there found it utterly hilarious that I could speak to her in her own language! After lunch, I went back to the Veranda where I spent the entire afternoon on a hammock outside my bungalow, sleeping and reading!
The next day was to prove even more relaxing, as I left Veranda at 10am to find a boat to take me to Koh Tonsay (Rabbit island). I'd come here for a day in March, and back then I promised myself I'd return for an overnight stay in one of the bamboo thatch bungalows. I reached the island around 11am, and spent the next 4 hours either swimming or laying in the shade reading my book. Being a public holiday, there were a lot of expats from Phnom Penh with the same idea as me, and soon after lunch two of my friends, Anthea and Andrew, bumped into me. Later on in the afternoon we went for a short walk around to the other side of the island, where we found a beach that was even more secluded. They left on the last boat at 5pm, leaving just 8 foreigners and two Khmer families on the island. Perfect!
After witnessing a massive downpour from my bungalow the previous evening, I woke to the sound of waves lapping upon the beach, which I could just make out thrugh the cracks in my bamboo wall. The morning seemed even more peaceful than the night before, and I spent about four hours doing exactly what I did the previous afternoon. At one point I did enquire about a track to the hill in the centre of the island, however I was met with a stern "No!". The conclusion I drew from that, which an english backpacker concurred with, was that the head of one of the families had an Alex Garland "Beach" type marijuana plantation up there, and that was a no go zone for barangs!
I returned to Kep around midday, where I met Lisa, Phil and the kids, and got a ride with them back to Phnom Penh after lunch. Phil is an ex St.Virgil's boy, like myself, and it was pretty funny to see who we both knew from back in Hobart! On my return to Phnom Penh, I realised that the beach on Rabbit island was probably the last I'd see before returning to Tassie at christmas!

I've coached true teams, where the whole team was better than the individual players, and I've coached teams where we had one or two stars - guys who could single handedly take you over the top to a win.-- da Coach
Last night we possibly saw the reemergence of a basketball Team at Northwestern.
Yes, NU plays as a team with Vedran Vukusic on the court, but last night, the Wildcats had to play without him.
So who stepped up?
Mohamed Hachad was one player who appeared to suck it up - he scored 17, including 3 treys, grabbed 4 rebounds, and stole 2 in 30 minutes of play. Mo has been getting better every game and tonight he again showed what he can do.
Vince Scott broke out of his long range scoring slump by hitting 3 of 3 from the arc, he also had 2 rebounds, a steal and 2 assists on the night. He also passed up a couple more open 3 point looks to run the NU slow down offense.
Even Evan Seacat hit a few crucial free throws and got a layup to go with 2 boards, two assists and a steal.
In his post game interviews, Bill Carmody always talks about getting more production from the center, and that the shooters had to start making baskets.
Center Vince Scott took advantage of a few open looks, and PG Craig Moore did the same, although he's struggling with balls that seem to pop back out of the hoop.
What was missing was Vedran's signature scoring - 3 pointers down the stretch - Vedran is usually the catalyst for big comebacks with 5 minutes left. NU's last basket in the game last night came with 8:09 on the clock.
What looked good was 15 points off the bench, 10 points from the frosh, and 4 comebacks during a game that easily could have become a rout early.
Was Illinois beatable without Vukusic last night?
Probably not, but you've got to take a better feeling away from the game because the Cats had to play, and did play more like 5 guys on the court, rather than 1 and 4.
Did I mention that I've always preferred coaching a team?

Is your lift safe?
Lift accidents can be avoided by proper installation, maintenance and correct use. According to the Lift Regulations 2002, lift suppliers are legally obliged to provide safe equipment, parts and installation.
Administrators of apartment blocks or, in default, lift owners, are obliged under the Inspection of Lifts Regulations 2007 to ensure that the installation is certified, registered and regularly inspected and maintained, and that the lift is used appropriately.
Once a lift is put into service, the lift's owners are legally responsible for any accidents due to non-conformity or poor maintenance. Lift owners are ultimately responsible for safety even if an administrator is appointed.
In blocks of apartments where one or more lifts are shared, the administrator becomes responsible for ensuring lift safety. If no administrator is appointed, then all the lift owners are jointly responsible.
Here is a list of safety questions. If you answer 'no' to any, your lift is probably unsafe.
Is the lift registered?
If your lift is not registered, it is probably unsafe. Contact the lift owner about having it registered.
Registered lifts are tested, inspected and certified regularly to ensure they conform to safety regulations. Unregistered lifts are usually uncertified, less likely to be well maintained, and not routinely tested and inspected. This puts people's safety and lives at risk.
The lift registration fee is a once-only €10 payment. The price is not a barrier to registration, so an unregistered lift is likely to be non-compliant, which means it is intrinsically unsafe.
Once a lift has been installed, it must be inspected by a notified body accredited by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). If the lift is compliant with safety requirements, the notified body will issue a certificate of conformity. A lift cannot be registered without a certificate of conformity to show that it has been installed correctly and tested for safety. The law requires lifts to be registered with the authority.
Is the lift regularly maintained?
If your lift is not regularly maintained, it is or will become unsafe. Get in touch with the lift owner/s to organise regular maintenance.
Regular servicing and repair are required by law and must be done by a competent service provider.
European Standard EN 13015 states that all lifts must undergo servicing at least at six-monthly intervals, or more frequently if specified by the lift manufacturers or by the appointed Accredited Conformity Assessment Body (ACAB) where site conditions require it.
Is the lift regularly inspected?
If your lift is not inspected at regular intervals, it is or will become unsafe. The lift owner/s has to commission an ACAB to inspect the lift.
Regular preventive inspection is required by law. It is not an option. The purpose of preventive inspection is to ensure that the lift's regular maintenance is effective and that the lift continues to comply with safety regulations.
In residential buildings, lifts should be inspected annually. In workplaces, inspection should be twice a year. Preventive inspection is carried out by an ACAB, not by your lift maintenance company. ACABs are the only service providers authorised to carry out preventive inspections of lifts.
The ACAB should present a copy of the preventive inspection report to the lift's owners, who should then send a copy to the appropriate registration authority (the Occupational Health and Safety Authority for lifts at a workplace or the MCCAA for lifts in residential buildings).
The ACAB must be appointed exclusively by the lift's owner and not by the lift service provider.
Has the lift been subject to a thorough examination?
If your lift is six years old (at a workplace) or 10 years old (in a residential building), and has not had a thorough examination, it is or will become unsafe. The lift owner/s should commission an ACAB to conduct a thorough examination.
All lifts should be subject to a thorough examination at least every 10 years in residential buildings and every six years in workplaces. Thorough examination assesses the lift against the minimum lift safety standards in force at the time. Regular thorough examination is required by law and is not an option.
The thorough examination report lists any risks or hazards identified during the examination, and sets deadlines for the completion of remedial works. Compliance periods can range from 48 weeks to 12 years, depending on the severity of each identified risk or hazard.
The thorough examination should be done by an ACAB, which should present a copy of the examination report to the lift owners, who should then send a copy to the appropriate registration authority.
The date for a lift's first thorough examination depends on when the lift was first put to use, not when it was registered. To find out when your lift's examination is due, consult the ACAB appointed by the lift owner or administrator, or the MCCAA when you hand in your lift's registration application.
Is a manned 24/7 passenger rescue service in place?
If your lift is not covered by a manned 24/7 rescue service, passengers' safety is at risk and you could be liable for any consequences, including passenger injury or death. The lift owner/s should engage a reputable 24/7 rescue service provider.
All passengers lifts should be covered by a manned 24/7 rescue service. This is required by law.
According to EU standard EN 13015, rescue services should be on site within one hour of receiving a report that a passenger is trapped in the lift.
A permanent two-way voice communication device, activated by pushing the alarm button, is now mandatory in all passenger lifts. The device should be included when a new lift is installed. In older lifts, the device can be retrofitted.
An ordinary phone handset installed in the lift car does not conform to the relevant safety directive (Dir. 95/16/EC).
Are all relevant documents kept in the lift's safety file?
If lift documents are not available, safety procedures are probably incomplete and the lift owners are breaking the law.
Lift owners are obliged by law to maintain a technical file containing all the documents relating to the lift.
Is the access route to the lift's machine room well lit, clear and safe?
If access is obstructed, or if the machine room is accessed by unauthorised people, lift passengers' safety is at risk.
Access to a lift's machine room should be well lit, kept free of obstacles, and allow safe transit. The machine room must be kept locked at all times and access should be permitted only to authorised personnel.

Voice over IP (VoIP)
Voice over IP is an umbrella term that refers to several modern telecommunication systems that encode and transmit traditional voice communications via the TCP/IP networking protocol–in essence, VoIP is telephone over the Internet.
Although originally the province of curious computer hobbyists and early adopters, improvements in both network speed and VoIP technology have contributed to the widespread popularity of VoIP systems like those provided by Skype and Google Voice.

Using new data and reconstructions of the "Dust Bowl" drought in America during the 1930s, climatologists at the ETH have shown for the first time a three-dimensional picture of the atmospheric circulation that led to the drought. This will enable climate models to be evaluated and further improved. The scientists hope this work will make it possible to predict future periods of drought more accurately.
In the 1930s, a drought that lasted almost ten years wrought havoc on the Midwest region of North America. The enormous dust storms accompanying it gave the "Dust Bowl" drought its name. This drought had devastating socio-economic consequences for America. John Steinbeck immortalised the tragic story of farmers already impoverished by the economic crisis of the time in his novel "The Grapes of Wrath". And the legendary "Route 66", along which the farmers fled towards California, was made famous in part by the Dust Bowl.
Digitalised historical data improve model
Scientists have been studying the Dust Bowl phenomenon for decades, and until now the mechanisms that caused this exceptionally long period of drought have not been fully understood, as little information has been available on the atmospheric circulation. Stefan Brönnimann, Professor at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science at ETH Zurich, and his team have now used historical data to reconstruct and analyse the three-dimensional circulation during the Dust Bowl drought. At the time of the drought, wind and temperature readings were already being taken using balloons and aircraft, initially at altitudes of three to eight kilometres, and later at much higher altitudes. These data have now been digitalised as part of a US project and a project undertaken by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Based on these data, Brönnimann's team used statistical methods to reconstruct the upper air circulation at an altitude of up to 15 kilometres.
Based on computer models, researchers have up to now conjectured that unusual sea surface temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans would have altered the wind systems, thereby triggering the drought. At the same time, the dying vegetation, the parched soil and the dust created by these conditions could have further intensified the drought. However, according to Brönnimann, observations to date have offered insufficient confirmation of these hypotheses based on simulated models.
Exceptionally cold Pacific
In their study, the scientists focused on three known circulation patterns which characterise the basic wind conditions of the region and the wider area. Using the new data, they were able to show that a specific wind flow, the Great Plains Low-Level Jet, was shallower at the time of the Dust Bowl. This air current usually carries moist air from the tropical Atlantic far into the region, which covers approximately two million square kilometres. In addition, the Jet did not penetrate as far north as usual, as it was deflected too early towards the east.
The researchers believe this was caused by a high-pressure system that built up over the Plains and was associated with an abnormal upper air flow extending from the Pacific across North America to the Atlantic. "Overall, these features are clearly consistent with the flow conditions that climate models predict as the effect of a cold Pacific coinciding with a warm Atlantic", explains Brönnimann. Because the temperatures of the tropical oceans can to a certain degree be predicted, the scientists see here the possibility of predicting periods of drought as well. However, the study also shows up some remaining shortcomings in the models: for the most part, they would not correctly depict the spatial shift of the Low-Level Jet, and in many models the drought is located too far to the south.

A "Hyperactive" Christos Cotsakos
Christos Cotsakos stepped down as CEO of E*Trade (ET ) more than two years ago. Now he has reemerged as the chairman of a $40 million fund-raising campaign to build an educational facility near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The new Vietnam Veterans Memorial Center will provide a history lesson on the war for the wall's visitors. On Apr. 22, Cotsakos will travel to Vietnam as part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's project to remove land mines from the area.
BusinessWeek Staff Editor Jessi Hempel recently talked to Cotsakos about his charitable work, new business ventures, and his thoughts on the company he steered through the dot-com years. Edited excerpts of their conversation follow:
Q: Why is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund important to you? A:
Q: Why is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund important to you?
A:I have always been a big believer in the armed services. My godfather was in the U.S. 101st Airborne. I was in Vietnam in 1967-68 as a fire-team and squad leader with the 101st Airborne Division. That was a character-defining era for our nation.
Q: How did plans for the new educational center emerge? A:
Q: How did plans for the new educational center emerge?
A:The museum was a three-and-a-half year legislative struggle. In November, 2003, legislation (H.R. 1442) was signed authorizing construction of the Memorial Center near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It has to be built underground -- and at no cost to taxpayers.
Our goal is to raise $1.5 million for seed money immediately. We hope to raise $7.5 million through December, 2005. Then we go into the major gift-raising phase where we need to pull together $20 million. We'll break ground in June, 2007, and then launch the final phase. We believe if we use military precision and financial discipline, we'll be able to pull it together.
Q: Does this project take on increased significance in light of the war in Iraq? A:
Q: Does this project take on increased significance in light of the war in Iraq?
A:Especially during times of unrest in the country, the veteran can be a great teacher. All wars are sacred, and all veterans are heroes. But Vietnam was such a character-defining moment for our nation. It stands out above all other wars in that it both galvanized and polarized us as a nation.
Q: What else have you been doing since you left E*Trade? A:
Q: What else have you been doing since you left E*Trade?
A:My wife, Tami, is my business partner. We spend about a third of our time on our philanthropic endeavors. We do three things: We work with William Patterson University where we are raising additional money for the business school, and we support a lot of faith-based charities. The third is our work with the Vietnam Veteran's Fund.
Q: And the rest of your time? A:
Q: And the rest of your time?
A:I work with Pennington Ventures, which does startup work. And in 2004, I formed Money & Living Holdings to fund the entrepreneurial phase of a product we hope to launch in 2006.
Q: Can you tell me about the product? A:
Q: Can you tell me about the product?
A:I've had a concept for financial media that has been around for about six years. It's a way to provide financial information through media and entertainment. It's very visual, incorporating both podcasting and blogs to tie into how we reach a larger group. We're focusing on the 18-32 demographic. We'll provide content and distribution. We have about 10 programs in the can. We will do original programming.
Q: So it's TV programming? A:
Q: So it's TV programming?
A:Think of it as HDTV for financial media. It's a way to make it really accessible, easy, simple. Too much of finance is medicine and prescriptive. Everything else is kind of left by the wayside.
Q: You're doing a lot! A:
Q: You're doing a lot!
A:When you're always hyperactive, you get involved a lot.
Q: What do you think of what has happened at E*Trade since you left? A:
Q: What do you think of what has happened at E*Trade since you left?
A:When I was there, we built the category known as online investing. We built the brand, and we defined the space. We built the supermarket brand for banking and online brokerage, tying them together.
Today, the world has shifted dramatically. You shouldn't just have a me-too strategy. I'm looking for them to reinvent themselves again, and I haven't seen that yet.

I had lipo suction on my chin and neck 7 days ago.I wore the compression garment for 4 continuous days. When I had a follow up with my doctor, he had to aspirate fluid that had pooled in a roll across my neck. The nurse had positioned my garment incorrectly which prevented the fluid from being dispursed.The garment was then positioned correctly by the doctor, however I have more swelling today at day 7 than I had at day 4 after the aspiration of the fluid. Is the garment causing swelling?
More Swelling at Day 7 Than at Day 4
Doctor Answers 3
Swelling following Liposuction can vary early on.
Although possible if the garment is applied incorrectly, your elastic garment is most likely not the cause of your swelling. Edema, or serum can collect transiently after liposuction but resolves on its own..Swelling following Liposuction can vary early on - for example if you eat salty foods early on, exercise or do not keep your head elevated this can make it transiently worse.
There are many predictable portions of the healing process that ALL PATIENTS EXPERIENCE after liposuction. Temporary areas of firmness (lumps) can be seen early on but usually resolve on their own. Although both doctor and patients would like to not have this happen, it is part of the healing process. These Side effects refer to what you will be experiencing from the healing process: Here are some of the common things you will experience. The common side effects include: swelling which is maximum 2-3 days later, bruising (highly variable), numbness which takes several months to resolve, tightness takes several days to months to resolve, discomfort (generally mild with this surgery, nausea (variable) and in some patients emotional lability in some. Although most of the visible edema resolves in 2-3 weeks in mini-lifts and 3-4 weeks in traditional facelift approaches, residual firmness (edema you feel but don't see) can linger for several months. Skin suppleness also takes a while to return as does scar maturation. I tell my patients it takes up to a year for final resolution of the healing process. A chin strap often hastens recovery after neck/submental chin liposuction. In my experience, the above rough time table is usually delayed in smokers, when multiple procedures are performed together and when resurfacing procedures are done at the same time as the lift. The same is true if complications occur such as infection, hematoma, skin loss or compromise, etc
Lipo of chin and neck. More swelling day 7 than 4.
The current garment is most likely not the cause of your swelling. A collection of serum can occur after liposuction. The garment usually will help prevent/treat this. It should give compression. The idea is to have the skin attach to the underlying structures. Sometimes the fluid will appear anyway, and needs to be aspirated. Make sure your plastic surgeon knows what is going on. Together you will get through this with the best result possible.
Web reference: http://www.jjrothmd.com/procedures/liposuction
Seroma after liposuction of chin can come back.
If you are more swollen now, you might have fluid again. A sonogram will detect that. If there is fluid, it is very important to aspirate it, to prevent a chronic deformity.

text: The Appeal of Exotic Granite ArticlesOctober 3, 20110 Back to HomeTweet Improving an indoor space is easily achieved through the use of exotic granite in the form of flooring, vanities, hearths or counter-tops. Architectural pieces and furniture made out of granite instantly increase the value of a space, both in terms of cost and beauty. Granite Stones Come From Quarries All Around the World, Including: Norway; Africa; Brazil; China; Spain; United States; and Canada. Granite is available in a wide range of colours, including black, yellow, light pink, beige, brown, green and red. However, granite also comes in more exotic, rare shades that are not widely available. The Shades of Granite Considered To Be Exotic and Precious Are Identified As: Azul Bahia Granite; Golden Crystal Granite; Niagara Gold Granite; and Rose Granite. Azul Bahia granite is quarried in areas of Africa and Brazil. It is described as a rich, exotic shade of blue and is popularly used in pool structures and bathrooms. Because of its intriguing colour and pattern, as well as its lack of availability, Azul Bahia granite is one of the most desired types of exotic granite. It is especially favoured when designing areas where water is a feature, like washrooms, spas and pools. Golden Crystal granite consists of neutral shades, where the pattern and intensity of the colours compliment each other and create a powerful overall effect. On top of it all, this type of granite also possesses flecks of sparkle and metallic shades, highlighting the fine and unique details of Golden Crystal granites. The colours of this granite range greatly, although remain within the neutral, warmer tones, including: Beige; Gray; Brown; Cream; Rust or copper shades; Gold; and White to off-white. This granite type is considered one of the more popular types of exotic granite, as it compliments almost any room and its existing style. Niagara Gold Granite Includes Colours Such As: Dark brown to black; Peach; and Rose to light pink. Niagara Gold granite is derived from Africa and is often preferred over the less-rare and costly Crema Bordeux granite. Rose granite is another exotic type consisting of red and pink shading, hence its name. Rose granite pieces also have dashes of metallic gold and gray, emphasizing themes of romance and femininity. It has been highly used in areas of China and is quarried in China and Brazil. Whether your preference is for rose granite or Azul Bahia granite, exotic granite is extremely beautiful and rare, adding elegance to any space. The quality and high demand of exotic granites guarantees that its use in any space will increase the value of that space immediately. Back to Home

Most companies buy computers from the Dells, HPs, and IBMs of the world. A few really big cloud providers will cut out the middlemen and go to direct to the companies that assemble systems for the big server-makers — obscure Asian manufacturers with names like Quanta Computer and Wistron. But there's one company that does things its very own way. Google goes direct to Intel, and then assembles the hundreds of thousands of servers that power its data centers all by itself.
Intel sells about 90 percent of the world's server chips, and it's been making a lot of money as internet companies build massive data centers to host the web-based applications that consumers — and corporations — love.
But there's no one quite like Google, according to Diane Bryant, general manager of Intel's Datacenter and Connected Systems Group. "Google is the only cloud service provider that's building their own server-storage-network infrastructure," she says. According to Bryant, Google has been buying parts direct from Intel for at least five years.
That's been a bit of an open secret among data-center geeks, but neither Intel nor Google have confirmed the relationship on the record until now. It's been secret because Google views its data-center technology as a key competitive advantage. Reached via e-mail, a Google spokeswoman declined to comment on the Intel relationship, saying, "We work with a variety of vendors to manufacture the equipment we use in our data centers."
"It's certainly not anything that the companies involved discussed openly, so it is kind of a big deal that they said something on the record," says Dean McCarron, who runs Mercury Research. McCarron reckons that about 10 percent of the approximately 16 million server chips sold each year go to big internet companies that are skipping the mainstream server vendors.
One of the reasons that data center operators are so hush-hush about their purchasing decisions is that they don't want to tip their hand whenever they're adding capacity. That can drive up prices for other components of the build out — bumping up costs for everything from real estate to networking gear.
But recently, Google has been a little more open about its data-center techniques and its dual life as an internet company and hardware maker. That's because it's trying to convince the world that it can turn around the $12.5 billion Motorola mobile phone business it acquired this year.
Two months ago Google Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette said that his company was probably "one of the largest hardware manufacturers in the world."
Intel's Bryant doesn't necessarily think that a lot of cloud companies are going to follow Google's lead and start buying chips direct from Intel. But she sees Google's move as a sign of the cloud boom that's going on in cloud computing these days. "This market is growing at such a rapid rate because the innovation cycle is so intense in the cloud service providers," she says.
It's a boom that's been pretty good to Intel. Bryant won't say how much money the cloud business is bringing in, but she expects it to grow at 25 percent each year for the next four years.
And it's becoming a more diverse marketplace, too. "Five years ago the top five cloud service providers … made up 75 percent of the cloud market," Bryant says. "Today they make up less than a third. So you have many, many, many cloud service providers."

I am quite a technically creative person. I work as a 3d artist using computers to make pretty pictures and stuff.
I am open minded and love to try new things. There are quite a lot of activities I like, that I generally cycle though. I enjoy going on bike rides, archery and I recently got into rock climbing that I am really liking.
I love traveling and try to get out whenever I get the chance. I also enjoy cooking, listening to music, I enjoy a bit of everything but I generally keep coming back to rock and metal.
I am not a bad cook. Up for trying to make up anything, and the end results generally go down well.
When it comes to films I like most of the stuff done by pixar and aardman. Most of the marvel movies, Other files that I would say are up high on my list are: Drive, Troll hunter, The Lego Movie, Paranorman and Lord of the Rings
Shows, Dare Devil, Adventure Time, South Park, Venture Brothers, Currently going though Rick and Morty which is good :)
I like many Bands and Songs but I am not the best at remembering the names of some of them. Pain, Nightwish, Skid Row, Rammstein, Lacuna Coil, Elvenking, Dethklok are some of the bands near the top of my list.
Food I won't knock anything until I have tried it although there are a few exceptions. But you cannot beat a good steak, curry or pizza. And when it comes to the last 2 they have to be authentic.
I don't get though many books, I do get though a few graphic novels from time to time, with the top being the Scott Pilgrim series.
Finally games, I have a lot I like there too from strategy games like total war, … Big and Small depending on the time I got.
A roof (preferably with walls)
Food and Water
My Bike
My PC
Friends and Family
Sometimes I might just be spending the night in doing what ever needs doing or if anyone is around then maybe a night out or the pub.

Blood Drive Success
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to thank you, the 100 Precinct Community Council, The Wave and most importantly all the members of the Rockaway community for coming out on October 12th, 2009 and supporting Transit District #23's blood drive. Our goal was to get twenty eight pints of blood for the drive. The overwhelming support re - sulted in receiving 35 pints of blood. The blood is often broken down into its components, red blood cells, plasma Letters and platelets that can help several patients. Each pint can help to save up to three lives. This means that this drive alone may save one hundred and five lives. I have been doing these drives for two years now and have thoroughly enjoyed serving the Rockaways. With your help the total life saving potential is overwhelming. In just four drives you have helped save up to five hundred and ten lives. I am proud to work for such a caring community and hope to continue to work for you in the years to come. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing everyone on April 6, 2010 for my next drive.

La Nuit Des Titans: Pinca vs. Aikpracha Live Results
- Written by Rian Scalia
La Nuit Des Titans is happening in Tours, France today and we've got live results for you.
Originally scheduled was Buakaw vs. Fabio Pinca but with the recent situation of Buakaw, current Lumpinee Stadium welterweight champion Aikpracha Meenayothin stepped in and presents an even tougher challenge for Fabio Pinca, one of the top non Thai nak muays. Also on the card is Buakaw's former (at least for the time being) stablemate, Pajonsuk Por. Pramuk who takes on French up and comer Ayoub El Khaidar. Last but not least, a four man tournament at 72.5kg featuring Fabio Pinca teammate Mickael Piscitello, Fares Bechar, Bird Kham and Super X.
If you want to watch live, you can order the online PPV from live.muaythaitv.com. Prices and how to watch are listed, with the price being $12.90 USD. It's already started but the main, professional fights haven't yet so be quick to join us watching.
Semi-Final #1: Mickael Piscitello def. Bird Kham by unanimous decision.
Good fight, although it was pretty dirty and had a lot of bad refereeing. Bird Kham had two points deducted during the fight, one for low blows which I don't think should've been taken away and one for a soccer kick while Piscitello was grounded. Piscitello dropped Bird Kham in the second round with an uppercut.
Semi-Final #2: Super X def. Fares Bechar by unanimous decision.
Super X started out dominating, then Bechar came back and turned it into a firefight. Bechar was dropped hard by a straight left as the firefight ensued in the first round. The second round was closer and Bechar was able to land some clean, hard punches when he pushed the fight but he didn't push it enough. Super X controlled the third to take a clear decision.
60kg: Pajonsuk Por. Pramuk def. Ayoub El Khaidar by decision.
Very good, close fight. It could've gone either way. El Khaidar is a fighter to look for in the future, he's young and he just did better against Pajonsuk than Karim Bennoui did. Surprised Pajonsuk got the decision in El Khaidar's home.
Final: Super X def. Mickael Piscitello by KO in Round 1.
Started competitive but Super X caught Piscitello with a short, inside punch then followed up with a few elbows and a knee to the body that had Piscitello out.
-68kg: Aikpracha Meenayothin def. Fabio Pinca by decision.
Good fight, Aikpracha was in control for all of it. Pinca landed some clean punches that didn't have much effect. Aikpracha landed more and was a lot more effective. Too bad they had to wear elbow pads.

DH's family CRUSHED my feelings.
I'm so sorry, but I need to vent and I know you ladies will understand.
Yesterday, DH and I went to a picnic that his side of the family was holding. Of course, there were lots of young families and a few babies present. The first thing my MIL did when we arrived and sat down was bring an adorable little girl over to me and put her on my lap. (Which in and of itself is fine--I love snuggling all that cuteness!) But then she said "I just wanted to bring her over for you to hold so you'll hurry up with ours".
Okay. His family knows we are trying really hard with no success. So that was unnecessary. But then she tells the grandma of the baby, "I can't wait to be a grandma too, but my DIL there is taking forever". Really? REALLY? Like it's my fault, and I'm dragging my feet or something? If I had my way, I would have been pregnant 9 cycles ago, but it's just not happening.
I'm sure I'm probably just being sensitive, and she may have been joking(?), but I was totally crushed. And I kept saying to DH after we left that this is why we told them we were trying in the first place! So somebody wouldn't say something hurtful on accident. Now they're saying hurtful things on (what feels like) purpose, and I don't know what to do.
If it were your family, would you have a talk with MIL?

Since we have no picture and only your description he's most likely a Domestic Medium or Domestic Long hair cat.

Most cats don't have a "breed." They may or may not have a Persian or a Siamese in their genetic soup, but unlike dogs, cats are usually just cats. No problem with that, as long as you are loved.

An interesting cat website to go to is the Cat Fancier's one. It's www.cfa.org. They have photos of all breeds of cats. You can go there and pick out which cats your's looks like and that will give you an idea of his family tree.
