Our new Get Lean Infographic: Easy Steps to Improve Your Recruiting Process outlines the lastest approach to lean recruiting, the methodology smart employers are deploying to make corporate recruiting more efficient and effective. As former corporate recruiters, we know that a systematic approach to recruiting increases visibility, accountability and overall productivity (all of the "ivities"). And, as designers of applicant tracking systems, we recognize that just adding more applicants to the funnel doesn't solve recruiting problems. After all, you're not making sausage here. Here are some simple steps to get lean.
How to hire a recruiter in 2013. Look for MacGyverisms. Read a blog post by Joel Passen, recruiting blogger and expert from Newton Software, a leading provider of corporate applicant tracking systems.

Great post for employers that are looking to improve recruiting in 2013 from Newton Software the leading provider of applicant tracking systems.
Quick, can you name the top three reasons small and medium-sized employers choose Newton's Applicant Tracking System to manage internal recruiting efforts? If you're already using Newton, you can probably think of even more than three. If you're new to Newton, we've built an infographic that outlines the top three reasons employers choose Newton nearly 2 to 1 over other systems.
At Newton Software, we understand that small employers make up nearly 99.7 percent of all employers in America – that's nearly 6 million organizations. Small businesses, as defined by the Small Business Association, are organizations with less than 500 employees. At Newton Software, we believe that small employers deserve the best business technology available. And, for small businesses that are in growth mode, what could be more important than having a simple, online system that allows people to work smarter not harder while keeping them in safe and in compliance? That's why we build Newton: SIMPLE, SMART, SAFE applicant tracking software for employers.
As you create your ATS shortlist, ask yourself: what system will garner the most adoption amongst all of my users? What system is the easiest to use, easiest to activate and will be the easiest to roll out to new managers and interviewers joining the organization every week? Most importantly, whether or not your hiring managers will adopt an ATS isn't even a question anymore. Hiring manager adoption is no longer a nice benefit. It's not a feature. Hiring manager adoption is a must.
Here are 5 tips to help you choose applicant tracking software that will promote user adoption.
1. Hiring managers don't care about the technology. What counts is what it does for them.
2. Shop for usability. You won't make ATS software easier to adopt by shopping for the most features.
3. Hiring managers loathe software training. Any ATS that requires extensive training will only be adopted by a small number of users.
4. Remember, only features that provide a good user experience will be used. Expecting managers to login proactively and complete a task is unrealistic.
5. The 80/20 rule applies to user adoption. Choose an ATS that does well what 80 percent of your hiring managers do all the time. Hint: think making reviewing resumes as simple as possible.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2012
Newton Software, a leading provider of applicant tracking software and corporate recruiting technology, unveiled another powerful feature aimed at solving a major pain point for employers surrounding pre-employment screening and background checks. For most employers, pre-employment screening is necessary but requires too much manual labor as it's performed today. Contacting applicants, collecting release forms and capturing sensitive information is inefficient and poses significant risks to employers.
In response, Newton Software has developed partnerships with select background check providers and with their participation has gone beyond the industry-standard integration. The new functionality added to Newton today, marks a first-of-its kind applicant tracking integration and is the largest announcement from any mid-market applicant tracking vendor so far this year.
Obsessed with enabling users to save time on repetitive tasks and increase productivity, Newton now comes equipped with the ability to integrate with background check providers in real-time to create a simple, smart, safe and stable pre-employment screening process.
Significant customer benefits include:
- Single-click background check requests.
- Real-time background check dashboard.
- Fully-branded applicant self-service portals to collect release signatures and personally identifiable information.
- Integrated auto-updates on background check status for each applicant.
Joel Passen, Newton Software's head of marketing, elaborated on the new feature integration: "Integrations come in many forms. Unfortunately, many applicant tracking software vendors treat integrations as an afterthought, offering integration pages and even batch data dumps. These are inefficient and clunky. Having been recruiters, our team understands that applicant tracking software marks the beginning of the talent chain and there are important processes that should be integrated seamlessly to improve efficiency, create transparency and track spend."
"Most of our customers do background checks and this is one of the most inefficient steps in their hiring processes. We're changing that. By partnering with select partners that have the technical abilities and same philosophy on customer service as Newton Software, we're able to essentially productize background checks and at the time same time make them safer and easier to perform," Passen went on the say.
About Newton Software:
Newton is modern, easy-to-use applicant tracking software designed to organize and improve internal recruiting programs for small and medium sized businesses (30-3000 employees). Newton features best-of-breed dashboards that create unparalleled visibility and transparency. In addition, Newton is the only ATS designed to drive the decisions that drive hiring, taking into account all users in the corporate recruiting workflow. Green is Go. Red is No.® Industry leading adoption rates (+90%) ensure easy collaboration. Powerful performance-driven metrics allow HR and recruiting users to always be in control.
Quick Tip: Don't confuse getting more applicants with process improvement. Many organizations focus exclusively on attracting more applicants rather than thoughtfully "processing" the people that appear interesting.You are not making sausage, you are hiring people.

This dashboard displays data critical to determining recruiting effectiveness and is instrumental in identifying bottlenecks in the corporate recruiting process.

Good enough is not good enough. I learned that the hard way lol. Editing is more important than you know. Yeah it does get tiredsome after a while but you have to really be sure its the best you can make it.
Getting friends and other writers to read your work is the best way to make sure its perfect. Beta Readers can read it and double check for errors and anything else that stands out, things that you may have missed those 100 times of editing yourself. An extra pair of eyes is always a good thing when it comes to editing.
If its another writer, offer to do the same for them! Its only fair. This way, you're both getting the help you need so your book has a better chance of getting published. Don't settle for "good enough" ever. You're striving for perfection.
And if the publisher asks you if you want to skip that editing process with them, turn it down or run away as fast as you can. Of course, if you already signed the contract, then turn it down. Opt for editing every time! Getting the book published faster is not the way to go, you will regret it in the long run!

The Oakland A's are last in the American League in hitting, last in slugging percentage and last in runs per game.
Friday, they released Manny Ramirez from his minor-league contract because they don't have a spot for him on their major-league roster.
If the worst hitting team in the American League doesn't want Manny, chances are Manny is done. But make no mistake about this: Manny was fun.
This was before it got ugly in Boston, before he started bouncing from team to team, before he started juicing, and before he was suspended twice. Before the dark clouds descended over the career and the life of one of the greatest natural hitters who ever shuffled onto the major-league stage.
His was a career best, and succinctly, summed up by Dennis Eckersley after Manny poleaxed him with his famous grand slam:
Manny was in every sense of the word a hitting savant. It was his great fortune his best skill in life was one for which people will pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
If the game of baseball had never been invented, the world would never have heard of Manny Ramirez.
From virtually the moment he walked out of the halls of George Washington High School in the Bronx, Manny could do what less than 1 percent of the American population can do.
He could hit a baseball. Hard. Often. Far.
He literally was born to hit. So hit he did -- from the moment he arrived in Cleveland until literally the moment he left.
As an Indians rookie on Sept. 3, 1993, at age 21, in the second game of his major-league career, in the seventh at-bat of his major-league career, Manny hit the first home run of his major-league career.
Two innings later, in his eighth major league at-bat, he hit his second major-league home run. They both were hit in old Yankee Stadium -- which was about a Manny Ramirez home run away from George Washington High School.
Manny's homeboys were there that night. Chanting and cheering, waving the Dominican flag and banging on the pipes of the old ballyard in a celebratory salute to one of their own who made it out of the mean streets and onto easy street.
That's what the major leagues are when you can hit like that. For the next 19 years, it was summertime, and the living was easy for Manuel Aristides Ramirez.
Especially the Cleveland years. The innocent years. The years when Manny would toss his paychecks into the glove box in his car and forget about them. The years when he would wear other players' pants during batting practice. The years when he would get stopped and given a ticket for speeding, then pull away, do a U-turn and get pulled over again by the same officer and given a second ticket.
Oh life could be a dream, sh-boom.
It was great to be young and a hitting savant.
Manny careened through his Cleveland years, forever a juvenile, wild, but innocent. And, oh, could he hit!
How about 1999? A .333 batting average, 44 home runs, 165 RBI, a .442 on-base percentage, a .663 slugging percentage and 131 runs scored.
Sure, it was the steroid era, and maybe Manny was on the juice then. He did get physically bigger, but it's not as if he suddenly had a spike in his statistics that year. In the four previous years, he hit .310 and averaged 34 homers and 113 RBI per year.
But Manny eventually did test positive for illegal substances -- twice. It was after he left Cleveland, though. And nobody left Cleveland like Manny did.
In 2000, he hit a preposterous .351 with a .697 slugging percentage. The last game of that season was Oct. 1 vs. Toronto at Jacobs Field. The Indians weren't going to the playoffs. Manny was going into free agency. So it was his last game with the Indians.
"Manny! Manny! Manny!" the chanting by the fans began as he stood on deck in the seventh inning. It was going to be his last at-bat of the game, the season and his career in Cleveland.
Everybody knew it.
As he walked to the plate: "Manny! Manny! Manny!" By now, it was equal parts adulation and pleading: "Don't leave!"
It ended the way we knew it would.
Manny hit one into the trees in center field, shuffled around the bases wearing the simple grin of a hitting savant -- "Hey, it's what I do" -- jogged off the field, out of our lives, away forever from his years of innocence and on to New England, where even greater fame, fortune, shame and dark clouds awaited.
It was the end of an era. For the Indians, their fans and for Manny being Manny.
-- Major League Baseball has denied the appeal by the New York Mets that R.A. Dickey should be awarded a no-hitter. Dickey pitched a one-hitter vs. Tampa Bay on Wednesday, but the Mets -- in an amazing display of dissing one of their own players -- said the one hit should have been an error on their own third baseman, David Wright.
Had MLB agreed with the Mets and changed Dickey's one-hitter to a no-hitter, there was a rumor the Indians were going to file an appeal with MLB saying they should have won the 1997 World Series because, let's face it, they played a pretty solid game in Game 7.
-- In an interview on HBO's "Real Sports," Phil Jackson said he wouldn't want to coach the Knicks because they are "clumsy."
Said Jackson: "They don't fit together."
In the NBA, since when does that matter?
-- What's the deal with all the fake glasses NBA players wear as fashion statements? Isn't wearing glasses you don't need the same thing as wearing a knee brace you don't need?
-- According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the Cavs offered New Orleans, holder of the first pick in the NBA draft, all of their draft picks for New Orleans' first pick, which they would use on Kentucky big man Anthony Davis.
According to Ford, the Hornets "quickly and firmly" declined.
If I were the Cavs, I would have "quickly and firmly" tried these sweeteners:
"All of our draft picks and all of our players, except two."
"All of our draft picks, all of our players, except two, our flaming scoreboard, the yelling guy, and two of our mascots."
"All of our draft picks and half of the Browns' draft picks."
Weak of the week
In the three-game series between Kent State and the Oregon Ducks in the super regional of the NCAA baseball tournament last weekend, I can't believe the ESPN announcers not once in three games described an Oregon rally by saying "There are Ducks on the pond."
Because there were. Literally.
Weak. Very weak.

Nancy Wilson is a singer, songwriter and guitarist for the rock band Heart, along with her sister, Ann Wilson.
Early Life
Nancy Wilson was born on March 26, 1954 in San Francisco, California. Her mother, Lou Wilson, was a concert pianist and choir singer, and her father, John Wilson, a former Marine, was also a musician and singer who had once led the U.S. Marine Corps band. Nancy Wilson's older sister, Ann, would later become her band mate in Heart.
Due to John Wilson's military career, the family moved frequently when Nancy was a child, living near bases in Panama and Taiwan before settling in Seattle, Washington in the early 1960s.
In order to maintain a sense of home no matter where in the world they resided at any particular time, the Wilson family turned to music. "On Sunday we'd have pancakes and opera," Nancy Wilson recalled. "My dad would be conducting in the living room. We'd turn it way up and rock. There was everything from classical music to Ray Charles, Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, bossa nova, and early experimental electronic music. I learned a tremendous amount early on." Wilson later remembered that she first set her heart on becoming a rock star at the age of nine, when she watched the Beatles' legendary debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Nancy and Ann Wilson "were Beatles fans who wanted to be the Beatles, not be their girlfriends," Wilson said.
In 1963, Ann fell seriously ill with mononucleosis and had to miss several months of school. To keep her occupied during those months, her parents bought Ann a guitar. But it was Nancy who quickly took over the instrument, showing greater talent and inclination for the guitar while Ann, also a music lover, proved to be every bit as talented and passionate a singer. Studying Mel Bay's classic book Guitar Chords and learning to play Beatles' songs by ear, by the time she reached adolescence Wilson was already a highly accomplished player of the instrument, taking especially to acoustic guitar.
While Nancy was in junior high and Ann was in high school, the Wilson girls performed in local band such as Rapunzel and Viewpoint. After her sister graduated from high school, Nancy Wilson performed often on Seattle's coffeehouse circuit as a solo artist. After graduating from high school herself in 1972, she declined an invitation to join her sister's band Heart in Vancouver, instead enrolling at tiny Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon to study art and German literature.
However, under constant prodding from her older sister to come to Vancouver and join Heart — who had already established themselves as one of Vancouver's premier bands — Wilson finally relented in 1974, leaving school to join her sister and her bandmates in Canada. "Ann and I were always going to end up playing in a band together," Nancy Wilson later recalled. "I just felt in my soul really that I needed to hold that off and experience life without Ann so that I'd have more to bring to the table when I came back."

Smallville wraps up Clark Kent's ten-year journey to becoming the world's greatest superhero in the two-hour series finale! watch
The world of The Walking Dead is expanding.
On Monday, AMC announced plans for a companion series that is set in the same world, but will follow new characters, which will offer a different perspective on the zombie apocalypse. With those parameters in mind, TVGuide.com came up with six ideas for the series, which will be executive-produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert. Keep in mind that introducing new characters doesn't mean that familiar faces couldn't take center stage in the spin-off. Take a look at our list: (Warning: Comic book and series spoilers below!)
Watch a clip from Episode 207 'The Ties That Blind'
The cast and creators discuss the struggles that each character faces with being supernatural and living among humans.
'I See Your True Colors...And That's Why I Hate You'.
The cast of "Being Human" talk about what's coming up for their characters in season two as well as how acting differs between movies and television.

Set in a future-world where humans can control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online gaming environments, a star player (Butler) from a game called "Slayers" looks to regain his independence while taking down the game's mastermind (Hall).

Syfy has renewed Being Human for a fourth season, star Sam Huntington announced at... read more
For a guy playing a broody Boston bloodsucker, Sam Witwer couldn't be happier. Now in his third season on Syfy's Being Human, the Smallville vet's ancient vampire Aidan Waite is up to his incisors in a devastating plague that is wiping out his undead brethren and giving his character all sorts of juicy stuff to sink his teeth into. In Monday's episode things get even wilder (and maybe more lethal) for Aidan and his roomies — former werewolf Josh and recovering ghost Sally — so we decided to pump Witwer for some scoop on what's coming up on the bloody cool supernatural drama.
Sith happens. The first half of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' season was mostly lighthearted kiddie fare featuring plots about younglings and droids. But matters are about to get violently dark. read more
You can't keep a bad man down — not even when he's sliced in half with a lightsaber in front of millions of moviegoers! Star Wars: The Clone Wars resurrects one of the franchise's most popular baddies, the Sith apprentice Darth Maul, in the series' two-part season finale, beginning tonight (8/7c, Cartoon Network). George Lucas himself gave the order to bring back the red-and-black horned demon, who was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace. But it was up to supervising producer Dave Filoni to make it fly with the fans.
What could be sweeter than a father and child reunion? Well, if Dad is Being Human's brutal bloodsucker Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) then, basically anything! Bishop may have been decapitated last season by Aidan (Sam Witwer), the vampire he sired centuries ago, but dead or not, on Feb. 20 he's back. The onetime Boston vampire capo returns to Syfy's addictive supernatural show as a hallucination to haunt the troubled Aidan. He's also seen in flashbacks, including during World War I, as pictured above.

The following passages in the Jewish scriptures are the ones that Jews consider to be messianic in nature or relating to the end of days. These are the ones that we rely upon in developing our messianic concept:
* Isaiah 2, 11, 42; 59:20
* Jeremiah 23, 30, 33; 48:47; 49:39
* Ezekiel 38:16
* Hosea 3:4-3:5
* Micah 4
* Zephaniah 3:9
* Zechariah 14:9
* Daniel 10:14

Three types of Jews:

2. Jews who believe repentance, keeping of the law of loving others, and trusting in a coming Messiah is all that God requires to be accepted by Him.
3. Jews who believe Jesus is God, the Promised Messiah, the King of kings.
Abiding, was there a link?

Hebrews 3:
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Young and Restless Recaps
At the Newman Ranch, Adam congratulated Victor on Ashley being pregnant.
Adam hoped that this baby would make up for the huge disappointment he's
been in Victor's life. After, Victor tried to help Adam adjust to his
deteriorating eyesight. Adam became frustrated as Victor quizzed him about
a picture in the house; Vic hadn't realized that his
son's eyesight was so bad. Still, Victor refused to coddle Adam and demanded
that his son "be a man." Adam moped and concluded that this was just an
opportunity for Victor to watch him fail. Victor left the room.
Paul and Nikki dined at the GCAC. Nikki informed him that the woman she'd
been spending time with turned out to not be Katherine and had left town.
Paul still didn't think that the woman was a con artist, but Nikki wasn't
sure what to think.... Kay went to Murphy's trailer and recalled some of her
happy life with Murphy ‹ as well as him kissing her. Murphy was thrilled to
see her, especially since she finally remembered being close to him. She
informed him that the DNA came back and showed that hers didn't match
Jill's. They then kissed again and Murphy promised to stay in her life this
time around. Paul lurked around outside and spied them smooching.
Victor met up with Nikki at the GCAC and she informed him that she gave
Kay's ring to an impostor. Victor couldn't believe that she'd been conned
again and reminded her how her falling for David cost him Sabrina and their
child. Nikki called her ex judgmental and vindictive, and noted that he got
taken in by Adam. Victor told her that Adam is going blind and stormed out.
Later, Paul told her that he saw Kay at Murphy's; this led Nikki to conclude
that the woman was indeed Marge.... Victor returned home and caught Adam whe
he stumbled. Adam apologized for being such a burden.... A package arrived
for Nikki at the GCAC; it was the emerald ring, which Kay had returned to
At Crimson Lights, Daniel, Michael, Gloria and Jana worried about a missing
Amber. Amber then called and informed them that she was in Minnesota
searching for Kevin near the scene of his last robbery. Daniel thought her
doing this was a terrible idea, but she was determined to find him. After,
Amber questioned a woman about the "Chipmunk Bandit" and learned that Kevin
had shot at people. She then saw Kevin and approached him. He told Amber
that she shouldn't be there. Meantime, the gang at the coffeehouse became
alarmed when they heard a gunshot over the phone. Jana got a terrible
headache. Michael went to do some investigating with Daniel; Gloria
volunteered to stay with Jana.... In Minnesota, Amber was alarmed when she
realized that Kevin had been shot in the leg by the cops.... Jeffrey stopped
by the coffeehouse and tried to sweet talk Gloria, but she demanded that he
leave. After, Jana and Gloria looked online at crime blogs and police
reports and tried to figure out where Kevin could be. Jana panicked when he
read an account saying that the chipmunk mask was found covered with blood.
Glo assured her that Michael would bring Kevin home, but confided in Jeff
about how worried she was. Jeff tried to comfort her. Jana collapsed on the
floor when her headache became too strong to bear.
Amber tended to Kevin's injured leg. He cried that he wanted to go home.
Amber prepared to help him get to where he was staying, but they were
stopped by a man who said he saw everything. In order to distract the
witness, Amber began kissing Kevin and pretended that she was his
girlfriend. Later, Michael and Daniel arrived at the crime scene and quizzed
a cop about the incident, and whether or not anyone had been hurt. The cop
asked them to move away from the area, but admitted that they hadn't yet
caught the robber. After, Daniel tried calling Amber, but she didn't answer.
The cop then picked up Amber's cell phone, which she'd dropped on the ground.
Daniel feared she was a hostage, but the cop said that a witness spied her
making out with the man they believed to be the robber.... Amber took Kevin
to his hideout and cleaned out his wound for him. Kevin yowled in pain as
she did so. She told Kevin that he didn't have to listen to Clint anymore,
but he still wanted to do what his "dad" demanded. He then counted out all
of his bills so that he could make his "dad" happy. Amber reminded him that
Tom is dead, but Kevin replied that his father was never dead. She concluded
that Clint had drugged him and wanted to get him help. He refused to leave
because "Dad" was there. "Where is he?" she asked. Kevin held her at
gunpoint and said that it was "too late." He accused her of trying to ruin
everything. Kevin then shoved her into the closet and locked her in. "You're
a bad girl," he yelled. In the closet, Amber saw Clint's corpse ‹ and
screamed at the top of her lungs.
Jack introduced Jill to PR maven Mary Jane Benson, who he explained was
hired to revamp his image at Jabot. Jill was miffed that he didn't approve
the move with her first. "You'll have to take that up with Cane," Jack
added. Later, Mary Jane suggested that Jack hold a press conference to
smooth things over. He was impressed by her plan. Jill ran off to grouse to
Victor and said she doesn't really have any power anymore, complaining that
she's merely a figurehead for the company. She tattled about Jack's new
consultant and said she fears they'll run Jabot to the ground. She told him
she wants a controlling share of the company back and offered to purchase
Victor's at whatever price he asked. He refused, which made Jill fuss. Victor
suggested she resign but she refused, then stormed off in a huff.
Murph and Kay canoodled on Murph's couch. Kay pointed out that she's not
looking forward to going back home because she likes being there with him,
adding that she's done all she can to convince her loved ones she's not
lying. "I just have to accept the things I cannot change," she sighed. Marge
told her he's thrilled to have her back. When she left the room, he pulled
out a ring. Meanwhile, at GCAC, Nikki opened the package containing Kay's
emerald ring and slowly put everything together. She told Paul that she
feels terrible for letting herself be conned by Jill and said the ring is
proof that Kay's telling the truth and she was right all along. Paul said
the ring wouldn't be enough and they need to exhume the body they buried,
presumably Marge's, to prove to everyone that Marge is really Kay.
Daniel and Michael approached the police outside the crime scene and tried
to explain that Clint is the culprit. Their words fell on deaf ears, so they
decided to investigate Clint's whereabouts on their own. They got in the car
and headed to every shady location they could think of. "We've got to find
Kevin and Amber before someone gets killed," Michael added, noting that
Kevin is easily manipulated by Clint and could pose a threat to himself and
others. Meanwhile at the safe house, Amber screamed in horror when a
deranged Kevin put her in the closet with Clint's corpse. "Be quiet! My dad
is sleeping!" he explained. Amber quickly figured out that Kev killed his
pop and tried to make a call for help. Then she panicked when she saw Kevin
messing around with a saw.
Nikki and Paul went to tell Heather that they need to prove the truth. She
pointed out that no judge will overrule the DNA test results that already
exist based on a simple hunch. They called Jill over to explain the
situation but she refused to give them permission to dig up her dead
mother's body. Then she threatened to issue a restraining order against Nik
if she ever suggested it again.
Back at the safe house, Amber begged Kevin to let her go when she realized
he was building a coffin for Clint's body. He got angry and threw her in the
closet again. She tearfully tried to reach out to him by saying how much
Jana misses him. He finally let her out and she redressed his leg injury,
which was bleeding terribly. When Kevin turned on the TV, they saw a report
naming Amber as his accomplice. It also claimed that both of them are armed
and dangerous. Amber freaked out, fearful that the police would try to kill
them so she suggested they surrender. Kevin refused, grabbed Amber and put
her in the coffin meant for Clint's corpse. She begged him to let her out,
but he sat on the box, called her a liar and grabbed his pistol.
Back at Murph's, he gave an impassioned speech to Kay about happiness and
love and regret, saying that he doesn't want to live the rest of his life
without Kay. Just when it seemed like he was about to propose, Nikki knocked
on the door, told Kay she finally believes her and offered to take her home
immediately and resolve the issue. Murph looked bummed.
Daniel and Michael burst into Kevin's safe house. No one was in sight. They
then opened the coffin. It was empty except for Amber's bloody belonging and
several blonde hairs. Daniel yelped when he opened the closet and discovered
Clint's body and surmised that Kevin is responsible for everything.
Meanwhile, Kevin held Amber at gunpoint as he drove, informing her that
they're going to Canada.
Jill confronted Victor about manipulating Cane into hiring his new PR lady
and threatened to toss both of them out of Jabot. Meanwhile, Mary Jane
called Victor to say she just left Jack (who had pushed her to open up about
her personal life, to no avail). She explained to Victor that things are
going well. He thanked her and covered about who was on the phone when Nikki
entered. After they hung up, Nikki asked Victor to help her prove Kay's
identity. Vic called Nik a fool. Then Kay entered and chided a stunned
Victor for talking to Nikki like that.
Jack and Sharon dined together at the GCAC. Jack was glad that she'd
returned to the Abbott mansion, even though she slept in the guest bedroom.
Sharon nervously asked how long Billy and Chloe were going to be staying
there; Jack offered to handle them if they made Sharon uncomfortable, but
wondered if they'd done anything to her. Sharon lied that they reminded her
of Gloria and Jeffrey being there. They were interrupted by Mary Jane, who
Jack introduced to Sharon. Mary Jane then ran into Jill at the club; Jill
asked if they could sit down and discuss how they could revamp Jabot....
Jack invited Sharon to return to Jabot, but she didn't think she was up to
that. He reminded her that he loves her unconditionally.
Meanwhile, Billy held Cordelia while Chloe informed him that her marriage to
Cane was now annulled.... Cane asked Lily on an official "first" date. Lily
was thrilled that his marriage to Chloe was over. He promised that nothing
would come between him and Lily again. Lily wondered if he was doing the
right thing by taking Delia from Chloe; Cane insisted that Lily would make a
much better mother.... Billy and Chloe set some ground rules about their
relationship. His: That he won't follow Chloe around. Hers: That he doesn't
shove Delia off on a babysitter if he wants to "dance" with another woman.
Chloe also refused to have an open marriage with him.
At the Newman Ranch, Katherine insisted to Victor that she's Kay, as Nikki
looked on. Victor still thought she was an impostor. Kay recalled stopping
by the ranch after Sabrina died and reamed Vic out for not believing her.
Suddenly, Victor smiled and welcomed Kay back, noting that no one else would
talk to him that way. Kay was grateful that he believed her identity. "Well,
there's something you don't see every day, even in a soap," chuckled Nikki.
"Two people back from the dead." HA! Next, they discussed Murphy. Victor
wondered if he was worthy of Kay's affections; she and Nikki assured him
that Murphy is a good man. Nikki shared Victor's news about being back with
Ashley, who's now pregnant. Kay was happy for him. Later, Victor was eager
to help Kay prove that she's alive; Nikki explained that they need Jill's
consent to dig up "Kay's" body. Victor offered to see if he could change
Jill's mind.... Mary Jane was puzzled when Jill brought her ideas to her
rather than to her own son, Billy, the CEO. Mary Jane advised her to honor
the chain of command and bring Billy into their conversation. Jill agreed,
but was not pleased.
Cane gave Lily a fortune cookie ... that had an engagement ring inside. Lily
embraced him and they declared their love for each other. Cane looked
forward to being a family with her and Delia, but Lily didn't think she
could be a mother to the baby. Cane was devastated. Lily explained that the
baby is Chloe's child and she doesn't feel right taking the baby away from
her. Cane respected Lily for being honest with him. He placed the ring on
her finger and requested that she at least think about the engagement; she
agreed to do so.
Jack and Sharon returned home and found Chloe, Billy and Delia hanging out
in the living room. Chloe asked if they could stay since the baby was
napping; Sharon reluctantly agreed, but then bolted from the room. After,
Billy demanded that Jack get Sharon out of the house, lying that he was
afraid Sharon would break Jack's heart. Billy then complained that Chloe
refused to go along with his open relationship plan.... Sharon quizzed Chloe
about where she and Billy met; Chloe shared that they met by a newsstand in
New York. Chloe then confided in Sharon that she wanted her current
relationship with Billy to heat up. "It's really cute, huh?" she asked.
"It's adorable," said Sharon, who looked as if she were about to be sick.
Later, Chloe informed Jack that Billy seemed to be turning around in the
commitment department.... Sharon thanked Jack for helping her out. Things
became awkward when Billy came downstairs. After Jack stepped away, Billy
warned Sharon not to use his brother; she replied that she's not using Jack.
Billy feared that Jack would find out about them, especially with Phyllis in
the know, but Sharon assured him that the news of their affair wouldn't get
out. They agreed that what they had is over.... Chloe ordered in food for
her and Billy and set up a romantic, candlelit table for him. "First step,
making Daddy fall in love with Mommy," she said aloud. Of course, Billy was
late for dinner, which upset Chloe. He finally arrived and passionately
kissed Chloe.... Jack and Sharon joked with each other and got into a
popcorn fight. Sharon then took Jack's hand and led him upstairs.
Victor asked Jill to stop by the ranch. He offered the controlling interest
of Jabot if she agreed to have "Kay's" body exhumed. Jill was certain that
the woman buried was her mother and not Marge; she couldn't believe Victor
was asking this of her and refused. Victor argued that Kay would want her to
just do it to get rid of any lingering doubts. Jill finally agreed to the
terms.... Kay and Nikki went to the trailer and found some of Kay's copies
of Restless Style there. Nikki wanted to put her friend on the next cover.
Kay then asked how Nikki really felt about Victor's new life. Nikki insisted
that she was fine with Victor and Ashley, but Kay didn't believe her. Nikki
explained that she doesn't want to drive herself crazy by worrying about
Victor. Kay reminded her of all the things Nikki did to keep Victor and Ash
apart ‹ like pretend she was dying. Katherine didn't think Nikki would ever
find in Paul what she had with Victor.... Jill had a drink at the GCAC bar
and flashed back to when she first saw "Marge" in her home.... Victor called
Nikki and Kay and happily told them that Jill agreed to have the body
exhumed. The ladies were pleased that Victor came through for them.
Two morgue techs wheeled a coffin into a well-lit room. Marge suddenly
emerged from the coffin and spoke directly to the audience about how many
are unsure of who's in the box her or Katherine? She noted that everyone
wanted to lay the question to rest. "Lay it to rest ‹ geddit?" Marge
cracked. She then produced Kay's memoirs (really, why was the book in her
coffin?) and said that a person would have to be on the moon to not know who
Kay is. "I'm going to tell you some juicy tidbits about her rich friends in
Genoa City, 'cause they're nuts," Marge told the viewers. "I mean, those
people are nuts. I gotta tell you, being dead gives you a different slant on
things. You'll see!"
Marge then began narrating the events in GC, á la "Our Town." First, we saw
Nikki and Kay in the trailer, where Kay confided how much she cared for
Murphy. The scene then cut to Murphy in the diner, where Marge explained
that Kay is on Murphy's mind, too.
Next up, we visited Jack and Jeffrey at the GCAC. Jeff explained that he
wanted to help Gloria find Kevin. Jack reminded him that Glo kicked Jeff
out. Marge noted that Jeff and Jack are both schemers.
Back to the trailer: Nikki admired a photo of Kay
and couldn't believe what Kay was doing in it. Kay wasn't sure if she was
the kind of woman who Murphy would want. Nikki assured her friend that good
things were coming her way. They then discussed the two DNA tests that had
come back negative; Nikki wondered if there was another explanation for why
they didn't prove Kay's identity.
At the Newman Ranch, Jill still insisted to Victor that the woman saying
she's Kay is a fake. Marge cut in, reminding us how Jill turned out to be
Kay's long-lost daughter. Jill stated that the woman isn't her mother. " I
didn't say she was your mother. I said she was Katherine," Vic replied.
Nikki and Kay met up with Nick and Phyllis at the GCAC; Nick and Phyllis
believed Nikki and welcomed Kay home. Kay explained that she still didn't
know for sure why she was having memory problems. Phyllis loved Nikki's idea
to do a cover story on Kay for Restless Style. Nick promised her that
everyone would believe her identity after the story ran. Meanwhile, Marge
sat in a chair nearby and watched them. To the audience, she wished that
Nick and Phyllis could get their lives back on track, noting that Nick can't
leave Phyllis and Sharon hanging.
At the Abbott mansion, Sharon wrote a letter to her mom, apologizing for
disappointing her. She blamed herself for getting Doris into the car
accident that put Doris in a wheelchair and blamed herself for Brad's death.
In her letter, she wrote that she keeps trying to fill the void with men and
sex, but it just makes it worse. "I'm beginning to think that nothing can
help me and maybe the world would be better off without me," Sharon
scribbled. Marge called Sharon a "lost soul" and worried about what was
going to happen to her.
Jack ran into Gloria at the GCAC and informed her about the DNA test being
performed on "Kay's" body. Glo reminded him that she believed Kay's identity
from the start. They agreed that Kay being alive would affect them. Nikki
and Kay then ran into them; both Jack and Gloria were happy to see her.
In the morgue, Marge pulled back a sheet to reveal Clint's pasty, cold body.
"His heart gave out. I didn't know he had a heart," sighed Marge. She then
said he took a "detour" from heaven and called Kevin another lost soul. The
scene now switched to Kevin driving away with a terrified Amber. Amber
begged Kevin to pull over so she could call Michael, but Kevin feared the
cops would come after him for killing "Dad." Amber reminded Kevin that the
dead man was Clint, not Tom. Kevin didn't want to hear it. Amber begged him
to stop robbing places and feared Kevin would get himself killed. Kevin said
that he's calling the shots.
Kay visited Victor at the ranch and they toasted to her being home. Victor
asked if things were serious between her and Murphy, but she wasn't sure.
Victor reminded her how precious love is. Kay questioned him about Nikki and
he said it was over. "Hogwash!" stated Marge.
At the GCAC, Jack dined with Phyllis. Phyllis coyly noted that Billy reminds
her of Jack, partially because Billy seems to like the ladies. Meanwhile,
Nick asked a hotel worker if he'd seen Sharon and learned she moved out.
Marge called Nick a "bad, bad boy." Sharon then arrived to join Jack and
Phyllis teased her by bringing up Billy again. Nick joined them and
Jack announced that Sharon moved back into the Abbott mansion. "You're just
full of surprises, Sharon," said Phyllis. Marge got tired of the foursome
and wanted to check in on Katherine.
Cut to Kay and Nikki sitting in a booth at the diner. Kay looked around for
Murphy. "Don't have to explain what's going through her mind," narrated
Marge. "We've all been there, ladies, just too many times."
Back at the GCAC, Phyllis was shocked when Jack informed them that Billy and
Chloe were also living at his house. They were interrupted when Daniel asked
to speak with his mom. Daniel filled in Phyllis on the Kevin and Amber
drama. He feared that Amber's dead. In Kevin's car, Amber yelled at Kevin
and told him that she's not going to let him ruin his life. "I care about
you!" she said, then listed all the other people in his life who love him
like Jana and Daniel.... Jeff introduced Gloria to a bounty hunter named
Amos. Jeff explained that they'd track down Kevin and bring him home safely.
"Where I come from, that's called love," commented Marge of Jeff's actions.
Jill confronted Kay at the diner. Both were confident that the third DNA
test would vindicate them. Jill was sure it was her mother's body in the
morgue; Kay was sure that it would prove her identity. "The pie's good.
There may be blood," previewed Marge. Kay and Jill continued to argue. Kay
promised to make Jill's life "a living hell."
At the GCAC, Daniel thanked Phyllis for being there. She assured him that
Amber's tough. In the car, Amber asked Kevin to stop pointing his gun at
her. Kevin handed it to her and said that she's going to help him rob his
next place. After, Phyllis asked Nick what he thought about Sharon moving in
with Jack. Nick replied that it's not his business. After, Phyllis and
Sharon exchanged words; Sharon told Phyllis not to mess things up between
her and Jack. "Girlfriend, if looks could kill, you'd be ridin' home with
me," Marge said of the angry stare that Sharon gave Phyllis.
Nikki thanked Victor for helping out Kay and they agreed to be friends.
Marge wished that they'd just get on with it already and kiss..... At the
diner, Murphy got down on one knee and proposed marriage.
The doctor finally finished examining Marge's corpse. Marge got back into
her coffin and said that she's happy Kay got her man. "As for me, I am on my
way back to heaven, where they got sweets and mambo 24/7," she finished.
"I'll see you there ... eventually." She closed the coffin lid, laughing as
she did so. Meanwhile, Kay accepted Murphy's proposal! The jukebox suddenly
began playing "Papa Loves Mambo" which Pearl explained had been Marge's
favorite song. Spooky! Kay and Murphy shared a dance on the diner floor.
At the trailer, Nikki helped Katherine get ready for her Restless Style
photo shoot. Kay then happily revealed that she's going to be marrying
Murphy. Nikki was thrilled for her friend. However, Kay was worried about
how Kevin and Amber were doing.
At the Abbott mansion, Billy and Chloe joked and flirted. She had faith that
their relationship would work out. After, Billy met up with Rafe to discuss
the custody case involving Cordelia. Billy was shocked when Rafe explained
that Cane actually had a valid case since his name was on the birth
certificate. Rafe advised Billy to wed Chloe as soon as possible.
Cane prepared to visit Cordelia. Lily felt badly for disappointing him by
not accepting his engagement. Cane hoped she'd change her mind. He then went
to see Delia, but Chloe didn't want to let him in. He called her a heartless
bitch; she threatened to call the cops. "You're gonna be sorry you fought me
on this," he growled. Chloe called him "certifiable" and slammed the door in
his face. After, Chloe went to see Lily and asked Lily if she could help her
out with the Cane situation. Lily replied that she couldn't do anything
about him, but agreed that Chloe should be a part of Delia's life. Chloe
noted that Cane was trying to make himself and Lily look like a certain
wholesome TV pair and thought Lily should stand up to him. Lily angrily
retorted that Chloe had no business blaming her and Cane for her problems.
Jack met with Mary Jane at the GCAC. She showed him the PR schedule she'd
arranged for him, including an appearance on a women's talk show. Jack joked
about her getting him a meeting with President Obama. Mary Jane feared that
Jill would be a problem for them, but Jack was sure that Jill would warm up
to her. After, Jack tried to learn about Mary Jane's background, but she
evaded his questions. "You really are a woman of mystery," he noted. "You
have no idea," she replied. Meanwhile, at Jabot, Jill informed Billy that
he's no longer the CEO. Billy was furious, especially when Jill told him
that Cane would be taking over. "I knew you'd pull something like this," he
angrily said, accusing Jill of getting rid of him whenever she has a problem
with him. Billy quit. Jill reminded him that he has responsibilities now
that he has Delia. Billy replied that Jill was no longer going to get to see
the baby. Later, Jill offered Cane his job back, which he eagerly accepted.
She informed him that she agreed to have "Kay's" body exhumed and was
confident that it would prove Kay was dead. Cane went to tell Lily about his
job. Lily sadly informed him that she can't help Cane take Delia away from
her mother.... Billy returned home and informed Chloe that he quit his job
because he didn't want to work for Cane. Chloe supported his decision. He
held Cordelia as Chloe happily looked on, the picture of a happy family.
"Let's get married as soon as we can," Billy said.
At the Newman ranch, Adam stumbled around, trying to find his way. Victor
joined him and tried to help him out, but Adam was determined to do so on
his own. Adam then snapped at him and Victor reminded him that he got Adam
out of prison. Ashley jumped in and tried to be the peace keeper. The guys
agreed to try to get along. After, Ashley had a talk with Adam, explaining
that she believes in second chances. Adam assured her that he really would
try to play nice with Victor. Ashley stated that they're a family. Later,
Rafe stopped by; Adam was surprised to learn that Estella the housekeeper
was Rafe's aunt. Victor joined them and they discussed Adam's funds. Victor
suggested Adam send the money to his account and Victor would find a way for
him to work it off. Adam feared that with his failing eyesight, he wouldn't
be able to make any more money. Victor advised him to follow Hope's example
and not depend on handouts. Adam later called Heather and asked if they
could talk.... Victor confided to Estella that Ashley's pregnancy was
high-risk; he asked her to keep an eye on Ash for him while he was out....
Heather stopped by the ranch and Adam asked if she could do something to get
his sentence ended. Heather didn't think she could do anything. Adam became
angry and demanded she leave.
Ashley stopped by Jack's and they argued over Victor. They were interrupted
by a call from Jill, who wanted to see them right away. At Jabot, she fired
Ashley and Jack, explaining that they kept undermining her decisions. Jack
believed that she was threatened by them. Ashley warned that getting rid of
the Abbotts was a mistake. Jack was prepared to take Jill to court and was
sure Kay would support him. "Katherine is dead," Jill spat.... Jack found
Mary Jane at the GCAC bar and learned that she'd also been fired. Mary Jane
called Victor, fearing that everything was falling apart. Ashley complained
to Victor about Jill, but Victor promised that she'd come out on top....
Jill sat and brooded about "Marge."
Nikki took Kay to the diner where she introduced her to the fashion editor,
George. The plan was to shoot her as famous royal figures in history. Murphy
arrived and gave Kay flowers; Nikki congratulated them. Later, Kay emerged
dressed as various royal women — and looked amazing! A smitten Murphy
gushed about how lucky he is to have Kay in his life. Kay looked forward to
starting her new life with him. Later, back at the trailer, Kay received a
package from the lab: it was the DNA results. Kay brought them to Jill. "You
do not match the woman who was buried in my grave ‹ and you do not match
me," Kay revealed. "You are not my daughter." OMG!

Deep Silver talks PC piracy: Uplay-style DRM, "is not the way we want to approach things"

Games Convention and gamescom go mano-a-mano
Koelnmesse's brought the first gamescom forward to directly coincide with next year's Games Convention.
The show will take place from August 19-23, and not in September as previously planned.
"gamescom belongs to the entire industry and should enjoy as much acceptance as possible," said BIU boss Klemens Kundratitz.
"This is why we took reservations voiced by the trade and a number of companies regarding scheduling the trade fair in September very seriously. The advantages and disadvantages of holding the trade fair in September were discussed in detail during a number of constructive discussions with industry participants."
Kundratitz continued: "Ultimately, the voices opposing the date in September were louder than those in favour of it, which is why we worked on a solution that benefits all industry participants. We eventually approached Koelnmesse with our request for a change of schedule, and they were able to move the trade fair to August. I would like to thank all those who worked hard on setting the new date."

Gamescom's "ridiculous," says Leipzig boss
This isn't going to get any simpler, is it? Speaking to MCV, Games Convention boss Wolfgang Marzin has trashed 2009 Cologne show gamescom as a "ridiculous" idea.
"We know the truth," he told MCV. "We've already proved that GC works, and we have trade backing – nobody wants a show in September. Another copy of GC in Germany is ridiculous; what is the benefit of holding another show? I am confident that the big show will be GC next year."
Others, such as Koch MD and BIU member Klemens Kundratitz are less convinced, however.
"There will not be another show of any relevance in Germany," he said, referring to any other effort next year outside of gamescom. "[Leipzig] might try something, but the top 12 publishers are in the BIU and we are committed to take the show to the next level in Cologne.
"The facts are that we have had a great time for seven years at Leipzig Games Convention, but it is now at the stage where it requires a new environment."
And on it rages.

Free Resume and Cover Letter Guides for Aspiring Management Consultants
Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) April 5, 2011
CaseInterview.com an interview skills training company in the management consulting industry announces free consulting resume and consulting cover letter guides for aspiring consultants.
In today's challenging economy, the unemployment rate is much higher for workers entering the workforce for the first time compared to industry veterans.
According to company founder, Victor Cheng, "A massive imbalance exists between the millions of workers entering the work force compared with relatively few highly skilled, well paying, entry-level jobs – such as in management consulting. For today's job seeker, the problem is not getting a good job. The problem is getting the interview to even be seriously considered for the good jobs."

Borrowers seeking a medium-sized personal loan can now take advantage of rates as low as 5%. And, what's more, they have a whole half-decade over which to repay the debt.
We take a look at Derbyshire Building Society's new loan offering in closer detail and see how it stacks up against the wider market.
What's the deal?
Derbyshire Building Society is offering customers looking to borrow between £7,500 and £15,000 a joint market-leading APR (annual percentage rate) of 5%, down from the previous still-competitive 5.1%.
This rate applies to loans that are taken out over a period of one to five years, with repayments remaining the same for the fixed term of the loan.
You can apply online for the loan and will receive an instant decision on whether you have been accepted. There are no hidden fees so you won't face a charge for setting it up.
Who's it good for?
The new rate is great news for anyone looking for medium-sized borrowing - for example, to fund home improvements, buy a new car or pay for a summer wedding. In this case, this lender could well be your best bet, enabling you to budget with fixed repayments over the loan term.
Any catches?
To apply for Derbyshire's loan you will also need to be aged at least 18, a UK resident for the full term of the loan and have a minimum (combined) income of £700 per month.
Also, bear in mind that while the quoted 5% is joint top of the tables, you may find this isn't the rate you actually get. The APR that's advertised is 'representative' which means it only has to be offered to 51% of successful applicants. Yours could be higher.
You'll also need a squeaky clean credit history to be accepted for loans with a market-leading rate. To check if yours has any blemishes, you might want to get a copy of your report before applying. You can see what's available from the different credit reference agencies and their services by visiting MoneySupermarket's credit reporting channel.
If you find your score does need repairing, Melanie Wright's article gives you tips on how to start repairing your score.
What's the verdict?
If you need a medium-sized loan it could be worth getting your skates on and applying for this deal. Personal loan rates are currently at an all-time low, but it might not be that way forever.
But before applying, as well as checking your credit score, make sure you can afford the repayments. There are other loans available at great rates, although they are on shorter fixed-term timeframes.
For example, Sainsbury's Bank's new 5% loan rate is also available on amounts of between £7,500 and £15,000 but only over a repayment period of between one and three years.
However, the deal is also only available to Nectar cardholders who have had their cards swiped in-store or used them on the Sainsbury' website within the last six months.
Another option is the Clydesdale Bank Personal Loan, which is available over up to five years, although the rate is slightly higher at 5.1%.
Top tip!
If you need access to a smaller amount of cash, there are still cheaper ways to borrow than personal loans. For example, you could pick from one of the best buy credit cards offering a 0% introductory period on balance transfers or purchases - or both.
This way, you can avoid paying any interest on your borrowing at all. For purchases, one of the best bets is the Tesco Clubcard Credit Card for Purchases which gives you 16 months at 0% before its representative APR of 16.9% (variable) kicks in.
However, if you need a loan to pay off existing card debts, the Barclaycard Platinum Credit Card with Extended Balance Transfer offers the longest with 26 months interest-free borrowing, though it's subject to a 3.5% fee. You can pay a lower 2.4% fee with the Barclaycard Platinum Credit card with Balance Transfers, but this will only provide 25 months interest-free.
However, remember to clear your balance during any 0% time period to avoid being hit with representative APR of 18.9% (variable).

Dismal savings rates mean that people are increasingly looking for alternative ways to generate decent returns - with peer-to-peer lending proving among the most popular options.
Here, we take a closer look at how peer-to-peer lending works, as well as the potential returns and risks involved... .
Peer-to-peer lending enables savers to lend money and achieve higher returns than if they deposited their money with a bank or building society. The system benefits borrowers too, as they get access to lower cost loans than they would if they borrowed through a bank (you can read more about this at the end of this article).
Peer-to-peer schemes have soared in popularity in recent months, with consumer loans made via the websites having just hit the £500m mark.
All peer-to-peer lenders are not the same
If you choose to invest with a peer-to-peer lender in order to boost your savings returns, it pays to look carefully under the bonnet of the particular scheme you have chosen.
Different providers charge different fees and offer varying levels of protection, so don't assume they are all the same.
Alex Gowar, spokesman for one peer-to-peer lender, RateSetter.com, said: "The key piece of advice I'd give to someone who is considering peer-to-peer is to carefully reflect on the rate you can expect to earn. While contracts are fixed, rates of return can vary as they can be affected by bad debt and late payments. So when choosing a peer-to-peer operator, it makes sense to understand the risks and protections that are in place."
What sort of returns can I expect?
The returns you can generate from investing with a peer-to-peer lender will depend on how long you can afford to tie your money up for, as well as any charges which may be deducted and the risks involved.
For example, the average net return before tax across all investors lending for 180 days or more through Funding Circle, another peer-to-peer site, is 6.20%. This rate includes all earnings and is calculated after fees and bad debt. However, this isn't necessarily the actual rate you will get. This is because the returns you achieve will depend on the exact rates you choose to lend at, the risk grade of the businesses you lend to, and any losses you might experience. Businesses are graded A+ through to C, with A+ businesses being the lowest risk and C being the riskiest.
There is a 1% annual servicing fee and on average it take two days to access your money, which you can do by selling parts of your loan to other investors. If you sell a loan part, there is a 0.25% sale fee.
The minimum amount you can invest with Funding Circle is £20 and there is no maximum, so you can invest as much as you want.
Zopa, another major peer-to-peer lender, also charges an annual fee of 1% on the money you lend, and the rates shown on its website are inclusive of fees.
Similarly, with RateSetter, the rates shown are inclusive of fees, which are equivalent to 10% of the interest you receive.
If you are prepared to tie your money up for five years, then RateSetter's 5 Year Income account offers a return of 4.80% on your investment, repaid in equal monthly instalments, which can either be reinvested or taken as an income.
The minimum amount you can lend is £20, and there is no maximum. If you don't want to tie your money up for this long, RateSetter's 3 Year Income account pays 4.00% fixed, again inclusive of fees.
Alternatively, the RateSetter 1 Year Bond pays a fixed rate of 3.10% before tax - not bad when you consider the best 1-year fixed rate from a conventional savings provider is just 2.10% (annual equivalent rate) from Kent Reliance Building Society.
If you don't want to tie up your savings for a long period of time, then RateSetter offers a Monthly Access option, which only requires a short-term commitment of 30 days investing. You can earn 2.40% on your investment, and at the end of the month, you can roll your contract over or you can withdraw your funds.
How safe is your money?
Money invested with peer-to-peer lenders is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, so there are definite risks involved in choosing to save with a peer-to-peer lender rather than a conventional savings provider.
However, peer-to-peer lenders do vet their borrowers very carefully, so your money is unlikely to be lent to anyone with less than an excellent credit rating. Funding Circle, for example, has very low annual bad debt rates of below 0.50%.
RateSetter claims it is unique in peer-to-peer lending as the only operator to have returned every penny of capital and interest to every single lender. It is able to do this because of its Provision Fund, which lenders contribute to via their 'credit rate'. If a payment is missed, then lenders can make a claim through the fund to ensure that that they don't lose out.
Zopa recently introduced a similar scheme to help protect savers. The 'Zopa Safeguard' is a fund held in trust by a not-for-profit organisation, which means Zopa has no rights to the money in it. So if a borrower you lend to through the site is then unable to pay back their loan, the Zopa Safeguard will step in and repay all the money you are owed.
Peer-to-peer lending benefits both borrowers and savers
As mentioned earlier, it's not just savers who can end up quids-in using peer-to-peer providers - borrowers can benefits from market-leading loan rates too. For example, Zopa has just slashed the rate on loans between £7,500 up to £10,000 to a miniscule annual percentage rate (APR) of 4.9%, the lowest rate ever on this size of loan.
Giles Andrews, CEO of Zopa, said: "By going under 5% this signals an exciting opportunity for us and future for the peer-to-peer industry as a mainstream option for borrowers looking for unsecured personal loans."
You can read more about the new loan in Laura Howard's article: Loan rates hit new all-time low of 4.9%. You'll need to hurry, however, if you want to take advantage of this deal, as it is only around until May 22.

Derbyshire Loan Halifax Purchase card
Almost one in six Brits are so worried about money and their financial futures that it's affecting their mental health, says new research from MoneySupermarket.
If money worries are causing you sleepless nights, you're clearly not alone. Our research found that 16million people find finances the most stressful aspect of their lives, while 15% say it's having a detrimental effect on their health.
The link between mental health and money is well established so, in an economy where the cost of living is rising while wages are stalling, the research is hardly surprising.
But there's loads of help out there for anyone feeling the strain, and MoneySupermarket has teamed up with mental health charity Mind to let people know they don't have to suffer alone.
Here's a quick look at the research along with some practical advice on what to do if you're feeling the strain and need help.
Anxiety and stress
Almost a fifth (18%) of those surveyed said their current financial situation was what caused them the most stress. A further 13% said their future financial situation was causing the most worry.
That means not far short of a third of us put anxieties about money of one sort or another at the top of our worry list.
What's worse is that a huge 72% thought their worries would only get worse this year, with 51% citing the rising cost of living as the main reason. One in 10 said the forthcoming changes to the benefits system were troubling them.
Young people appear to be feeling the strain most, with two-thirds of 18-34 year olds saying they're frequently or occasionally worried about money.
Clare Francis, editor-in-chief at MoneySupermarket, said: "While we have recently narrowly avoided a triple dip recession, the impact of the last five years has hit people's finances hard, and so it is not surprising that it is such a cause of anxiety and stress."
Get help today
The average household debt, including the mortgage, was £53,995 in March, according to national money education charity Credit Action. Excluding mortgages, the average debt was £5,980.
Trying to clear your debts can feel like an impossible task, but burying your head in the sand is the worst thing you can do. There's plenty of help out there and you don't have to pay a penny for it, so pick up the phone or log onto one of the following websites as soon as you can.
Mind also offers support for people facing mental health problems, whether they're caused by financial worries or anything else.
Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, said: "No one should have to face mental health problems alone and that's why we offer information and support to anyone who might be struggling with money matters."
You can find Mind online at www.mind.org.uk or call its advisors in confidence on 0300 123 3393. Calls are charged at local rates, but will cost more from a mobile phone.
The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) offers free, impartial and confidential advice on debt. Its staff receive specific training on mental health problems too, so you can talk to its advisors, in confidence, about your worries.
You can find the CAB online at www.adviceguide.org.uk or by making an appointment at your local branch, which you can search for online or in Yellow Pages.
StepChange, formerly the Consumer Credit Counselling Service, also offers free advice on problem debt, anonymously.
It works with the Mental Health Foundation and has carried out its own research into the link between debt and mental health. For example, it found 78% of those in debt say it's damaged their self-confidence.
You can find StepChange online at www.stepchange.org or you can call them for free, including from mobile phones, on 0800 138 1111.
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) specialises in helping people who are struggling emotionally with debt. CAP also does home visits and although its name implies a religious focus, the support is entirely non-religious.
You can find CAP online at www.capdebthelp.org or call its advisors for free on 0800 328 0006.

How Baseball Players Get Out at Bat
Part of the Baseball For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Baseball is a game of outs — three strikes and you're out; three outs, and your team is done for the inning. Baseball batters can be ruled out any number of ways, and the following list shows how you can get out when you're up at home plate:
A fielder catches your fair or foul ball before it touches the ground (unless it is a foul tip to the catcher with less than two strikes).
You hit a foul tip (a ball caught by the catcher off your bat) for strike three.
After hitting the ball, you or first base is tagged before you touch the base.
The umpire calls three strikes during your at-bat (whether you swing or not).
A ball that you hit fair hits your bat a second time while you are in fair territory.
While running outside the foul lines, you obstruct a fielder's throw.
You hit the ball with one or both feet outside the batter's box or step from one batter's box to another while the pitcher winds up.
You obstruct the catcher from fielding or throwing.
You run into your own fairly-batted ball while running from home to first base.
