Boys and Girls Club kids learn importance of financial planning
The importance of saving and budgeting took precedence as the Boys and Girls Club of South Valley learned about managing their money.
The year-long pursuit in the Financial Literacy Program (FLiP) paid off for youth and parents, culminating in a celebration in late April to mark their accomplishments.
"We saw a major need in the community for financial awareness among the lower socioeconomic crowd," said David Brooks, FLiP manager.
The program started in May of last year as a collaboration between the club, Zions Bank, AAA, GE Capital and American Express. According to Brooks, the program served about 350 kids and parents in Midvale, Murray, West Jordan and Kearns.
FLiP provided specific courses dealing with investing, planning and saving for college among other lessons that aimed to impact financial decisions.
"The parents had tons of questions about investing in their children's secondary education," Brooks said. "They wanted more information and wanted to be involved."
Numbers and dollar signs can be messy, but the program sought a blend of learning and living where those involved could interact as well as absorb.
"It's very hands-on, and we taught them to learn in a fun way," Brooks said.
The club hosted parent nights, field trips, barbecues and activities filled with educational games. In one activity, the kids earned fake dollars to spend at an auction.
The youth organized a small business called Snack Shack with $100 in start-up capital. They decided what they wanted to sell and helped set the prices.
"They sold smoothies, mango with chili, granola bars, all-natural fruit snacks," Brooks said. "They had a cash register."
Their customers included parents, attendees of events they went to, and each other, of course. They raised more than $1,000. The profit was split in thirds, going to the youth, the club and the community.
Brooks said that although it was minor accounting, the kids will walk away with valuable insights.
"It's something they will always retain," he said.
He hopes the knowledge the youth gained can spark a chain reaction.
"We're making a small impact now, but in the long run, the youth will teach their parents," he said.
April was Financial Awareness Month, and at the celebration, the club awarded nine youth with certificates and gift cards. Brooks said these kids demonstrated outstanding enthusiasm and aptitude for learning in FLiP.
The club also turned the gym into a carnival ground with stations that featured games such as the Price is Right. The festivity incorporated financial awareness, allowing kids to earn prizes while reinforcing their knowledge. Dr. Roderic Land, an assistant professor from the University of Utah, was a guest speaker.
Brooks said the parents and youth were satisfied with the program. He wants the kids to understand how much better their lives would be free of financial burdens.
"I'd just like to stress the importance of being financially apt because I feel that's the biggest issue here in our society," he said. "We should make it better for the youth."
David Montoya, who was an eighth-grader from Midvale Middle School, gained knowledge to help him prepare for his future.
"We learned about scholarships and grants and what are the best places to get those," he said. "I've already started planning out for college."
He also did research into what career would afford him the lifestyle he wants to live.
Although Montoya is too young to incur credit card debts, he's not too young to start saving, and FLiP shed light on the importance of making smart financial decisions.
"I would get $50 a month and would have none of it a week later," Montoya said. "Now I'm putting money into a savings account."
He enjoyed taking a tour of Zions Bank, where the kids received $25 to open a savings account upon completion of a required form.
Montoya talked to other kids who would want to participated in a similar financial program.
"It's a great program, and it should be taught at a lot of places, not just here," he said. "It's worth expanding."
Bob Dunn, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of South Valley, appreciates the level of enthusiasm everyone showed.
"It's real-life learning," he said. "We've done investment, open up savings accounts, done business."
He explained how necessary this program was to the youth today.
"What we've found in testing students was that they didn't have any knowledge in financial literacy," Dunn said. "So the test scores on financial literacy were extremely low and they keep dropping every year."
Dunn also stressed the importance of keeping good records.
"The kids need to know that if they have bad credit, they can get turned down from a job," he said.
He hopes the children will retain the useful information.
"It's really just a thing our kids needed to learn," he said. "This is something they're going to use their whole lives."

This is Grand Theft Otter, because he's taken all the d'awwww-lers – one billion of them over the weekend.
What's everyone playing?
[Image: Yulia_B via Shutterstock]
- Alexander Sliwinski (@Sliwinski): Playing a bunch of Card Hunter. Like, a bunch. A stack of Card Hunter. A deck of Card Hunter?
- Danny Cowan (@Sardoose): I ordered a Wii U, so I'll be checking that out. I hear it comes with this thing called Wind Walker, or something? Looks weird. I'll probably just end up playing Nintendoland instead.
- David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'm off to beautiful Sandy Shores for the weekend.
- Earnest Cavalli (@Ecavalli): I'm going to try to spend some time with Wind Waker HD this weekend - I somehow missed it completely in its original form - but its probably more realistic to say that I'll be boosting cars and shooting hookers in Grand Theft Auto V.
- Jess Conditt (@JessConditt): [...]
- Jordan Mallory (@Jordan_Mallory): I'm gonna spend the majority of my weekend at the Taito Hey! in Akihabara, getting my ass handed to me in every fighting game on offer. It's going to be fantastic.
- Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I suspect I'll see some serious sailing if I set aside a schedule for Wind Waker's second sojourn - as soon as I cease speaking like the narrator in Puppeteer.
- Mike Suszek (@MikeSuszek): I'll be playing a ton of FIFA 14 while wishing I had GTA 5.
- Richard Mitchell (@TheRichardM): Diablo 3 on Xbox. It's better than the PC version wannafightaboutit? Maybe some more Rayman Legends. Hopefully a game of Last Night on Earth.
- Sinan Kubba (@SinanKubba): Journeying home with Pokemon White 2.
- Sophie Prell (@SophieJKL): [...]
- Steven Wong: [...]
- Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt): I think this may be the weekend I figure up Kingdom Hearts 1.5. I didn't play very much of Kingdom Hearts when it first came out, so I'm hoping my feelings about it have changed. (I mean, it's an RPG with Disney characters. It couldn't be more my thing if my name was on the box.) But after our podcast discussion, I may try some Silent Hill Shattered Memories, instead.
- Thomas Schulenberg (@Lavapotamus): Rayman Legends hasn't taken its assured turn from pure bliss to infuriatingly challenging yet, so until it does, I'll be playing that all weekend.
- Xav de Matos (@Xav): Grand Theft Auto 5 is still chewing up my time, along with NHL 14 and Gone Home.

Today is the day! As I'm waking up on the west cost this morning, the celebration of the worldwide availability of Windows 7 has long started from Tokyo, Munich, London, Beijing, Paris, Dubai, New York, and our own Toronto office. I thought to gather some Windows 7 launch related facts and resources below for you on this post.
Go Windows 7!
What a great way to come back from my vacation other than celebrating Windows 7 releasing tomorrow! Our company CEO Steve Ballmer is in town and on tonight's episode of CBC's news show The Hour, Steve will have an one-on-one conversation with George. Should be a great interview and a chance to get to know this visionary leader behind Microsoft.
The Hour airs on CBC tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern.
In Part I of the Explore Design post, I introduced the student lounge we are presenting this year. In this post, I'll introduce you the presentations from Microsoft and our partners to watch out at the conference. It's less than two weeks away!

Another trustee resigns from Simi cemetery board
The board overseeing a historic Simi Valley cemetery has lost another member.
Trustee Connie Morgan, who has served on the board since 2007, said Friday she is resigning from her second term for health reasons.
Morgan, 67, of Simi Valley, said questions surrounding the management of El Rancho Simi Cemetery had nothing to do with her decision.
"I am just not well," she said. "I have serious health issues."
She has been a defender of Barbara Scroggins, manager of the cemetery.
The resignation takes effect after the board's next meeting Nov. 13, said Brian Miller, chief of staff for county Supervisor Peter Foy, who will recommend Morgan's successor.
Morgan's resignation comes shortly after a reconstituted board met Oct. 25, marking the first time since July the panel had the majority required to conduct business.
Morgan was elected treasurer at that meeting, although she took the position reluctantly.
Even with her departure, the board has enough trustees to conduct business. Tyler Ritch, the senior member of the board, remains on the panel along with three people who have been newly appointed: Wayne Evans, Cynthia Pandolfi and Leah Schwochert.
Morgan, a retired clerical supervisor, said she had planned to resign months ago. Morgan said she was waiting for Foy to find a successor for board member Russell Ireland, who left in January.
It was not until October that replacement board members were installed for the vacancy left by Ireland along with the spots held by two trustees who resigned in July.
Foy has said he had difficulty finding people who will serve in the voluntary positions.
Morgan's term runs until January 2015, so whoever is appointed would serve through 2014, Miller said.
The Ventura County Board of Supervisors will make the appointment.
Applicants must be residents of the cemetery district, which lies mainly in Simi Valley. Interested people may call Foy's office, 955-2300.

Shopping for a canoe or kayak? Watch Rock/Creek paddling expert Sara Horne's boating intro!
"Getting into paddling can be pretty confusing. There are a zillion different boat options, and it can be pretty tough to decide what kind of canoe or kayak is best for what you'd like to do. Do you need a sea kayak, a recreational kayak or a touring kayak? Do you want to run creeks with multiple whitewater rapids, or load up your boat with a weekend's camping gear and paddle from island to island?"

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Disasters are disruptive, creating challenges that continue long after the initial cleanup.
People in DeKalb, Marshall and Walker counties affected by the severe storms and tornadoes that struck the state in late April may find they are still struggling with a loss of income or disaster-related legal problems.
The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are working with other state agencies and private organizations to help people deal with such complications caused directly by the declared disaster.
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
Workers in the three counties with a federal disaster declaration may be eligible for Federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) to compensate for loss of income directly related to the April storms. Unlike state unemployment insurance, DUA provides benefits to self-employed business people, farmers, commission-paid employees, and others not typically covered by the state unemployment insurance program.
The last day to apply for disaster unemployment benefits in DeKalb and Marshall counties is June 3. People in Walker County have until June 9. People who think they may be eligible for benefits should call 866-234-5382 or visit the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations website at www.dir.alabama.gov to be directed to the nearest career center.
Disaster Legal Services
People in those same counties may also qualify for free legal help for disaster-related issues such as landlord-tenant disputes, insurance claims, unemployment benefits, consumer law and housing law.
The service is provided by the Young Lawyers Division of the American Bar Association and FEMA.
Apply for legal services by calling, toll-free, 800-354-6154.
The Alabama Emergency Management Agency is Alabama's coordinating agency for disaster preparedness, response and recovery. Learn more at www.ema.alabama.gov and follow the agency on Twitter (@AlabamaEMA).
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, combine parsley, mint, lemon juice, oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Toss chicken tenders in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the parsley mixture and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the tenders in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked though, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle.
4. Stir the remaining parsley mixture into the couscous along with tomato and cucumber.
5. To assemble wraps, spread about 3/4 cup of the couscous mixture onto each wrap. Divide the chicken among the wraps. Roll the wraps up like a burrito, tucking in the sides to hold the ingredients in. Serve cut in half.

It's been a long time coming, but one of our far-fetched fashion dreams looks like it might actually come true. Because one of the world's most legendary designers — one of the few we'd actually be comfortable calling an artist — is exploring the option of having his or her life turned into a highly produced Broadway show. Can you guess who it is? You can't? Click and all shall be revealed!
Valentino Garavani, the couturier famous for his glamorous red dresses, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica yesterday that he's looking into turning his fascinating life into a Tony-award winning show. And we have no doubt he could do just that, given how well the 2007 documentary movie about his life, The Last Emperor, turned out. In fact, it's the feedback from that very theatrical endeavor that makes him so confident about the stage show.
"I came across as a despot. The director had surprised [Giancarlo] Giammetti and me when we were arguing, which we always do in French. But then (at the end of the screening) the applause never stopped and I realised that people liked me as I am. The film was even more successful in Toronto (film festival)," he told the newspaper.
And it'd probably make a killing in New York! We don't even know what the songs would sound like, but we'd bet a good portion of them would an awesome Rome-in-the-60s feeling, and the set design and costumes would probably be out of this world.
Don't believe us? It's probably just because you haven't seen the movie. Take a look at the trailer and tell us it wouldn't make an amazing show.

Jewel of the Seas Cruise Review by larry_kak: Good Cruise on an Aging ship

Good Cruise on an Aging ship
We used the Jewel for the second time to cruise the southern caribbean recently. We used the ship the first time to do northern Europe a number of years ago, and for us we could definitely see the signs of a ship that needs a dry dock and a revitalization process. We had an aft cabin the same as before and the couch in our cabin was torn even though you could see an attempt to fix it. The bathroom had a constant smell, and did not work well at times. I thought the crew was doing their very best to make us comfortable in spite of everything. We travelled with two other couples and one couple had major issues with leaks and wet floors, and the crew worked hard to assist. The ship is a great ship, it just needs to be updated and will be in 2014.
We loved the ports some of which we had not been to before.
Prior cruisers have complained about the food but I thought it was very good. We used both of the specialty restaurants and loved them.
I also thought the More entertainment was good including the cruise director. If you go DO NOT MISS the 70's rock and roll show in the Centrum, it is great. Less

We booked the Best of Aruba with the ship. Good tour for a decent price.
Island Tour
We walked across the bridge and booked a tour in an open van. It was good and we saw the entire island.
Island tour
We booked at the port. The tour was good but we had price issues in that we were quoted one price to be paid at the end of the tour, and then the price changed higher at the end. Be careful, bargain well.
Just got off the ship, walked around for an hour and back on the ship, no bargains to be had.

I have tried bit after bit with my horse Jester and the one he likes the most (the only one he really likes), is the loose ring waterford. Some people say it's harsh, but I don't use it harshly since he's trained off my leg and seat. He just seems to like how it collapses and despises straight/curved bits. I've tried a double jointed roller happy mouth, Myler level 1 loose ring with the rotating center, Korsteel french mouth eggbutt snaffle, Korsteel jointed copper with steel roller Dee, and a Herm Sprenger Dynamic RS Augarian Eggbutt. I've ridden him in each for at least a week and it was always the same- nonstop head tossing (his teeth are fine), fighting, leaning, running through it, etc. Then I put the waterford back in as a last resort and he was like, "OK, I'm happy" and all the fussing stopped.
He's coming back from a tendon injury that resulted in 6 months of stall rest. We are going to do some combined training this year and then hit the rated hunter circuit next year so I need a dressage and hunter legal bit. I'm just out of ideas (although SmartPak Equine is probably loving my horse's indecisiveness since I keep ordering from them), so if anyone has a suggestion, please share!

First, the rules:
There are a set of questions below that are all of the form, "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...".Copy the questions, and before answering them, you may modify them in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:
- You can leave them exactly as is.
- You can delete any one question.
- You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre of any one question.
For instance, you could change "The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is..." to "The best time travel novel in Westerns is...", or "The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is...", or "The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is...".
- You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...".
You must have at least one question in your set, or you've gone extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you're not viable.
Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.
Finally, pass it along to any number of your fellow bloggers. Remember, though, your success as a Darwinian replicator is going to be measured by the propagation of your variants, which is going to be a function of both the interest your well-honed questions generate and the number of successful attempts at reproducing them.

Fascinating Aïda are stalwarts of the theatre scene, having been performing to critical acclaim since 1983. Led by Dillie Keane and accompanied by Adele Anderson and Sarah-Louise Young, this trio takes the audience on a leisurely stroll through classy but crass songs, politically poignant numbers and simply hilarious tunes, explaining why these ladies have been held with such adoration by the nation.
With simply a piano positioned centre stage and a couple of chairs, the energy, facial expressions and witty lyrics fill the theatre with ease. The girls draw on their YouTube sensations 'Cheap Flights' which has amassed almost three and half million hits and sees the girls cleverly discussing why the "feck you can't getting a fecking flight for fecking 50p" and also 'Dogging', in which Keane describes her passion for doing things 'al fresco'.
Satirically drawing on the debacles of Bush and Blair, the passing of Kim Jong Il, German cabaret and, of course, Katie Price, Fascinating Aïda's Cheap Flights, despite being midway through a long tour, remains fresh and topical.
Keane, the founding member of the group carries a graceful and professional air about her. Her witty lyrics, facial expressions and genuine love of the job shine through, making her instantly lovable and seemingly well respected by the adoring, sold out audience.
Anderson, who joined the group in 1984, brings a great deal of height and clever cynicism to the show. Her Amazonian stature, bass voice and commitment to character add a great deal to the performance – particularly notable is her performance of the song 'German Cabaret'.
The newest and youngest member of the group, Young, brings a great deal of energy to the show. Her soprano voice is the perfect compliment to the melodies executed by her peers. Her desire for a 'One-Night Stand, a joke continually referred to throughout the show, made her seem well connected and instantly resulted in a rapport with the audience.
The Charing Cross Theatre, formerly the New Players Theatre is a perfectly sized venue for such a show. Nestled into the arches below the Charing Cross Station, the thud of the passing trains overhead create the right ambience for a naughty but nice theatrical treat this festive season.
Fascinating Aïda's Cheap Flights runs at the Charing Cross Theatre until 7 January 2012. Tickets can be purchased online through the theatre's website, or by phoning 0207 907 7075.


text: This is a shot in Dry Creek, taken on the driveway of a little bundle of wineries, namely Peterson and Papapietro Perry. It was incredible to be around ripe grapes and the harvest. Sonoma is an amazing place. Ten minutes outside Santa Rosa, you're in wine country and very diverse one at that. When your palate gets tired of Pinot you can explore Zin, after that Cabernet Sauv. The dining wasn't quite as good as Napa, but soon.

Here's a link to Courier-Observer reporter Brian Hayden's story on the dispute between union workers and Alcoa in Massena.
In sum, the political part of the story is thus: Mr. Owens thinks the federal government has a role to play, and he sides with the union workers; Mr. Doheny doesn't think the federal government should get involved in the dispute.
Mr. Owens said he had requested Alcoa utilize as much local labor as possible to complete repairs soon after the fire and has since expressed his concerns about the CCC Group to the company.
"One of the principal issues facing the region is job creation," Mr. Owens said. "If this is going to create jobs, it's clearly something we should be involved in."
Mr. Owens' Republican challenger, Matthew A. Doheny, who was visiting Massena Thursday, said he did not feel it was appropriate for a congressman to intervene on such an issue.
"The last thing you want is the federal government wading in and telling productive businesses what to do," he said. "It's not in the long run the best way to go."
But Mr. Owens disagreed, and said he sided with the ironworkers who wanted more local laborers on site.
"I would hope any elected official would do this for his constituency," he said.

It looks like "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" isn't dead from an awards standpoint after all. Less than a week after the film garnered a surprise nomination from the Producers Guild of America, David Fincher was singled out by the Directors Guild of America as one of the five best directors of 2011 for his work on the thriller.
Fincher's inclusion likely kept Steven Spielberg on the outside. The director was one of the assumed DGA favorites for "War Horse," but his name was left off the final ballot. What this does for Spielberg's Oscar chances remains to be seen, but: not great!
Other DGA nominees: Michel Hazanvicius for "The Artist," Alexander Payne for "The Descendants," Martin Scorsese for "Hugo" and Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris."
Tate Taylor -- who directed awards-favorite "The Help" -- was also snubbed by the DGA, but with a PGA nomination plus an ensemble nod from SAG, his film should be among the chosen ones for Best Picture when the Oscar nominees are announced later this month.

Enoxaparin Thromboprophylaxis in Cancer Patients With Elevated Tissue Factor Bearing Microparticles (MicroTEC)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Research studies have shown a strong association between cancer and blood clots in the veins (also known as deep vein thrombosis). These blood clots can flow to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which in severe cases may be life threatening. The purpose of this research study is to see if enoxaparin is effective in preventing blood clots in the veins in participants who have cancer of the pancreas, colorectal, non-small cell lung, ovary, or gastric and also have high levels of tissue factor bearing microparticles in their blood (TFMP). TFMP are small particles that are generated from different types of blood cells in the body. In people who have cancer, TFMP are thought to be generated from cancer cells and may represent a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis. Enoxaparin has been used to prevent formation of blood clots in patients after abdominal or orthopedic surgery and in patients who suffer from a severe medical illness. Based on these studies, we are investigating to see if it prevents thrombosis in people with certain types of cancer.

The following shows have received ratings of at least four stars from Times readers.BROADWAY OFF BROADWAY
'Power Balladz' celebrates the rock music of what has been affectionately dubbed the "hair bands" of the '70s '80s and '90s. With the help of three actors, a first-rate band, and bells and whistles reminiscent of arena rock shows - lots of lights, fog, video projections, outlandish costumes and long hair - 'Power Balladz' is a funny and lively take on the pop culture and music that served as the soundtrack for the lives of millions of people during the last three decades of the 20th century. The show takes an unexpected turn when the high school sweetheart of one of the musicians stumbles into the show after 10 years apart, raising the question - will he be man enough to finally score the girl of his dreams? An evening at 'Power Balladz' begins 30 minutes prior to curtain with rock trivia games and contests and an opportunity for the audience to socialize and meet their fellow theatergoers. Following the performance, ticket holders have access to a live-band rock anthem karaoke show during which they are welcome to perform on stage and realize their own 'Power Balladz' fantasies. All seating is cabaret style seating with drink service in your seats and a bar located right in the theater. EventSource

Paulson: Honor black Americans' success
During February, Black History Month, we rightly celebrate men like black abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
At pivotal points in America's history, these men took a stand for equal rights for black Americans.
But it's time we honor the achieving black Americans who have taken advantage of those rights, applied their skills, overcome obstacles and achieved their piece of the American dream.
Though thankful for their freedom and opportunity, many now rail against the culture of victimhood that sadly contributes to high black unemployment, black-on-black crime and the explosion of fatherless families in black America.
One such man is renowned pediatric neurosurgeon Benjamin Carson. While speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, Dr. Carson thanked his loving mother who, with little more than a third-grade education, wouldn't let him accept failure.
She required him to turn off the television, to start reading and to believe that he could become whatever he wanted to be.
One book he read was Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery." This great American truth teller vehemently rejected black victimhood.
Washington called on black Americans to claim the challenge of freedom: "Brains, property and character for the Negro will settle the question of civil rights. ... Cast down your bucket where you are ... and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life."
Dr. Benjamin Carson, author of "America the Beautiful," did some truth telling of his own: "We've moved from a 'can do' nation to a 'what can you do for me?' nation."
To Dr. Carson, America needs more equal responsibility to go along with equal opportunity: "Everybody has to have skin in the game in order to make this work. We talk about an egalitarian society. Well, if everybody is paying according to their ability, which is what the tithing system was, it's proportional. If you make a gazillion dollars, you pay a lot of taxes. If you make very little, you pay very little taxes. But your skin is in the game."
Renowned black economist Thomas Sowell writes: "One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain."
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas complimented the motivation of modern liberals "to stop society from treating blacks, the poor and others ... as if they were invisible, not worthy of attention. But the (rights) revolution missed a larger point by merely changing their status from invisible to victimized. ... Minorities and the poor are humans — capable of dignity as well as shame, folly as well as success. We should be treated as such."
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice credited her parents: "It was my mother and father, who, despite ... growing up in Jim Crow Alabama, always had me convinced that I could be president of the United States.
"They always taught me to just look past the obstacles. Either blast through them, or assume they're not in your way. ... I just refuse not to be optimistic. You only have one life. And if you spend your entire life seeing obstacles and seeing clouds and assuming everybody's out to get you, then I think you're just likely to waste your life, and I'm just not going to do that."
Armstrong Williams, black economist and columnist, suggests: "We need to glorify entrepreneurialism, not victimhood! Entrepreneurialism is the engine that will close the racial economic gap.
"But we'll never get there unless the younger generation of American blacks decides it is time to move beyond the basic covenants of liberalism. That is to say, unless they decide they can succeed as individuals, rather than remain forever victims because of their skin color."
America needs a few more truth tellers of every gender and race.
Being trapped in government dependence is not the American dream our forefathers fought to create. No American need play victim. Don't settle for less than making America work for you.

Crews continue to battle a fire just north of the town of East Carbon, using a type one helicopter and resources in the area from the Bureau of Land Management and the Utah Department of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (UDFFSL).
According to UDFFSL Area Management Officer Rudy Sandoval, the fire began around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and has steadily worked its way through the area's dry grass and brush.
BLM and UDFFSL fire fighters were already in the area as they have been fighting two other fires in the Bookcliff Mountains near East Carbon.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Review the genuine free Carnival cruise offer in mail (postcard), the free cruise promotion and all about the "care free" Carnival cruise scams. Integrated with Carnival cruise information, tips and tricks.
Where and how to get a free Carnival cruise offer – the real deal
- Sail 100 times with CCL and they'll give you a most complimentary (up to 8 days) cruise to Alaska, Mexican Riviera or Caribbean. This absolutely legitimate offer is one of the Carnival VIFP Club Past Guest benefits according to the line's new (implemented June 2012) "Very Important Fun Person" loyalty program.
- Play Bingo on Carnival cruise and you may win a free cruise (usually with a short itinerary, 3-4 days in length). Additional to the Bingo chances, you can get a complimentary cruise as one of the possible Carnival Casino Players Club comps – not free deals per se, but almost! This is a limited time exclusive promotion (based on availability) – on eligible sailings your stateroom is for absolutely FREE! In this happy case you book a cabin and you pay only the taxes. People have received such mails, it's not a scam, you just gotta be a gambler – and a very lucky one. Carnival sends you via email a list of ships available for booking, their departure ports and cruise length to choose from. This offer is also by the VIFP loyalty program – you have to be a VIFP Club member to be eligible. I guess they are right by saying that you gotta spend money to make money, huh!
- Some timeshare offers are real deals. You'll have to sit and listen about the timeshare for several hours, then you get a 3-day free cruise voucher. Your cabin will be most likely an Interior (with the cheapest location) and the departure date will be in off-season. A different cabin category and sailing date will cost you extra, just like the Gov taxes and port fees.
- a future free cruise as passenger compensation for an incident/accident – read more at our Carnival Triumph cruise ship accident 2013 link.
- Sometime, CCL announce online games and contests either on their website Carnival.com or on the Carnival's Facebook page. Like the "Grab Your Destiny" contest and its complimentary European cruise offer for the new Sunshine ship. These are all special offers as promotions, and you can definitely win a best-fun Carnival sailing – for absolutely free, Carnival guaranteed.
- Travel agencies big-news promotions. Some passengers report very good experiences by enjoying a complimentary Carnival cruise with even included hotel stays and a rental car in the deal.
- And, finally, you can apply and get a job with CCL – then you can sail for free for nine months!
The Free Carnival cruise phone call
From a May 2013 post at Funville: You will recieve a phone call from a number (like 800-227-6482, for example) and a recorded voice will say, "This is Carnival calling to verify your credit card number for you S&S card for your upcoming cruise on the X ship". Well, this is not from Carnival, the caller is not affiliated with CCL in any way whatsoever – this is totally a scam. CCL would never call and ask you for that kind of information (credit card number) for your S&S account. If you get such "happy call" – just hang up. And this is just to remind you NEVER to give your creditcard number over the phone. Of course, unless YOU initiated the phone call. And I also would suggest a report to the police department too. Elderly people especially are susceptible to these scams.
Totally free Carnival cruise scams
Most of the free cruise scams usually require you to make a phone call for details. If you call within the next 2 days they may offer you a free airfare. My advise is – go Google it, see what are the other people's experiences with similar offers, then if you feel so – make your call and seal the deal. However, according to the majority of online reviews on the subject, most of the postcard offers turned out to be scams. And "most" definitely means "not all"! Some do receive their "complimentary", but most of them report that even getting that worked out is a huge hassle. And that they didn't get the best of staterooms on board. And that the whole thing was not fun at all.
So in a wrap, the postcard offer – it's not worth the effort. Your time is so much more valuable, along with your dignity, common sense, and your money. So toss it in the trash. Some folks are even amusing themselves by shredding this type of mail content – some even before opening the letter, outside, in front of the house, on the stairs, with a shredder, and an extension cord. And here's why.
About the "so genuinely free" Carnival cruise scams – the "Complimentary 8 Day Cruise" postcard
The Carnival Complimentary 8 Day Cruise postcard has its 2 different labels – this is our review of the one that's a "shamelessly free". Did you just received your most special "Carnival Complimentary 8 Day Cruise" postcard? Is it a free cruise offer for an Ocean-view stateroom and the optional bonus – free airline tickets and a most convenient departure from any major port in US? Is it a free cruise for 2? Is it a real deal – is the free Carnival cruise a scam?
It uses "complimentary" instead of "free".Your complimentary 8 day cruise Carnival postcard has some weird elements well worth of noticing:
- What's all that supposed to mean? New time – new ideas and opportunities. Less and less people are buying the "free deal" idea – so the catch-word must be a more sophisticated one, like the "complimentary" approach. Less and less people are willing to sit for hours and hours and days through some sales pitch event to listen all kinds of stuff they really don't want to, so the deal gotta be free of that content too – and it's a "timeshare-free" deal. "Not sponsored by Carnival" means the offer isn't related to the Carnival Line. Well, what do you think about it? The free Carnival cruise postcard requires you to call for details on a tall-free number (if you want the bonus – within the next 48 hours). When you do the call and a guy over there starts talking about the need for a credit card number – well, what do you really think this is?On its back it says "This is not a timeshare or land sale offer".
- It also says "This promotion is not sponsored by or affiliated with Carnival Cruise Lines", along with "Recipient is responsible for any applicable deposits, port charges, taxes and/or fees". The last one often goes around $250 (to be prepaid), but it still seems like a good 8-day Carnival cruise deal.
- And finally, there's nothing anywhere on the "Carnival" free postcard suggesting the name of the promo company – this leads to the impression that this deal is directly from Carnival. And what about the very reason for this promotion – the "grand opening"? An opening of what? It well may be a burger stand, right?
What is more confusing is that the Carnival Cruise Line's logo is so prominently displayed on the front of your really good looking complimentary 8 day cruise postcard. It surely lends a bit of credibility to the deal, and it makes you wonder why the line lets them get away with it. Because it's a fact that many many many people do actually report bad experiences after responding these post-cards. And they blame Carnival for it.
The "timeshare-free" Carnival cruise postcard
This is our review of the "real-deal postcard" for a free Carnival cruise (with free airfare) if you attend a sales pitch for, lets say, a discounted travel club membership. It'll offer you the benefit of receiving the best discounted rates on all your vacations in the future – and you still have to call the number to find out more. Then eventually you go to a presentation in some hotel or whatever, it will all look so professional, so legit, the spoke person will be probably older, very personable and so nice, you pay the company up front a good amount of money (often in thousands of dollars), then you got the big nothing for your money in the months that follow. And this is how you learn your lesson – the hard American way. They'll pocket your money without providing the promised travel arrangements and all the advertised bonuses, they'll use the CCL's logo without authorization, along with the logos of airlines, hotels and whatever is necessary to scam you out of money.
Unfortunately, there are many fake companies out there taking a lot from a lot of people by luring them into paying big money for a free cruise vacation – that won't happen. Also, be most suspicious of free offers where the fine print says it's not a timeshare – this is 99% one most free cruise scam. It'll be a rip-off – no matter the company, no matter the promotion. Nevertheless, some deals might be genuine.
Unless it's not a free Carnival cruise promotion (officially announced by the line) think of any of these "free offers" as a "free dinner from a stranger". And we all know there's no such thing as free dinner, and especially without the kiss before the real f… fun. You'll have to learn an expensive lesson how to respect your money and the labor that provides it. You have chosen the world's cheapest cruise line ever – go pay your cheap Carnival vacation like a hard working American guy, be in control of your time, enjoy your preferences and enjoy all the fun on board one of the best cruise ships in the world!
With or without the free cruise promotions, you guys have fun with your money and enjoy all activities, amenities, food and drinks, and the rest of what is free on Carnival cruises (this time for real)! "Carnival" and "Fun" are synonyms, just like the rest in the group – "vacation", "holiday", "party". Enjoy your Carnival deals by being fun on board, sailing your well deserved and fairly bought cruise vacation – the one you've honestly paid for! Be you – don't be the money! And if you prefer to gamble to win your free Carnival – you better play safe.

According to Hubarevich, the MFF's structures were mostly estranged from participation in the observation campaign during the presidential election of 2010 that was meant to be a joint one. This was one of the reasons why the MFF had decided to conduct its own observation campaign that turned out to be quite successful.
To avoid the mistakes of observation made at the previous election, the MFF proposed the campaign participants to divide various lines of activity among themselves prior to the campaign's start (nomination to commissions and to observers, information work, development of changes to legislation, etc.), and to found the coordinating council with the participation of all parties concerned that are able to make a real contribution to the campaign. However, this offer was ignored.
"The role of the Just World Party – and it is this party that is the main initiator of the For Fair Election campaign – in the election campaign isn't entirely clear. It is known that the former communists don't intend to support the joint agreement of the majority of political entities concerning the compulsory withdrawal of candidates before voting. Moreover, the positions of the For Fair Election campaign's coordinators have been distributed disregarding the opinion of the MFF and the Belarusian Popular Front (BPF) Party that are the structures that have considerable experience in observation and nomination to commissions. Therefore, it is quite possible that we would have to work independently," comments Hubarevich on the situation.
"Yet, we support everything that was said by the initiators of the For Fair Election campaign, and hope that we would manage to find common ground and to coordinate our activities at later phases of our work," notes the MFF Deputy Chairman.
As was previously reported, coordinator of the For Fair Election campaign Viktar Karnieyenka has declared that the agreement was reached with the majority of political structures in Belarus to work together to prepare and conduct the observation. However, according to Karnieyenka, not all have joined yet, including the MFF.
