There's a lot of excitement now junk bond yields (at least on one index) have dropped below 5 per cent for the first time. What to call them, for one thing. "High yield" no longer seems appropriate, although frankly "junk" was always better, and remains just as good. The fact that they barely ever default any longer, suggesting on its face that they are no longer junk, is yet another problem – as John discusses with Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid in today's Note video.
But hold on a minute. It is true yields have plunged. But the following charts show that junk bonds are much shorter dated now than they were, so the drop in yield is not as dramatic as it looks (if you lend someone money for less time, you should expect a lower yield as the loan is less risky). The average duration on the index is at a record-low three and a half years (modified duration is a tad longer, but still a record low).
On the other hand, investment-grade bonds (and top-grade junk too) have longer maturities – in the case of investment grade, the longest since 1980 at more than seven years. So the ultra-low yields (just over 2.5 per cent) of these better-quality bonds are even lower when adjusted for the risk of lending money for longer. Chart-fest after the jump. Read more

Book a flight to Copenhagen to explore Denmark's capital city. This cosmopolitan city is thriving – its café culture, world-class restaurants and historic centre are a draw for tourists all year round. Design, fashion and architecture are evident around every corner and gastronomic delights ensure the city's restaurants are buzzing every night of the week.
Named as one of the top five 'most liveable cities' in the world, Copenhagen's tantalising blend of old and new keeps visitors coming back for more. You can fly to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways – visit between May and August when the long, sunny days are perfect for exploring this eclectic city.
The best way to see the city is on foot and most major attractions are within walking distance. One of Copenhagen's most famous attractions is The Little Mermaid sculpture. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy story, Edvard Eriksen's sculpture can be seen at Copenhagen harbour.
Take a trip to Copenhagen and you'll see the city's rich history is evident around every corner. Kronborg Castle, just north of the city is a must-see. Built in the late 1500s, the castle is known from Shakespeare's Hamlet. In the summer months, you can see open-air performances of the play here.
Tivoli Gardens, close to City Hall, is a popular spot for families. Take a ride on the 100 year-old roller coaster, or enjoy open-air film screenings in the summer months, as well as live music everyday. Every Saturday a fireworks display is held here. The fountains, lakes and picnic spots offer the perfect place to relax in the heart of the city.
Copenhagen is renowned for its museums, and no trip to Copenhagen would be complete without exploring the Danish National Gallery. Here you'll find art from Matisse, Picasso and Rembrandt. The Arken Museum of Modern Art is the best place to find contemporary Scandinavian art.
For stunning views over the city, climb the Rundetårn (Round Tower) to the observation platform. Or visit the Danish Design Centre – the building was designed by architect Henning Larsen.
On sunny days, Havnebadet at Island Brygge is a popular outdoor pool and beach area where you will often find local families. For cooler days, DGI Byen leisure centre offers excellent swimming facilities.
Danish cuisine focuses on local produce and there are some great places in Copenhagen to experience a traditional Danish lunch. Smørrebrød, or open-faced sandwiches, are a popular choice. These are usually made with rye bread and a variety of toppings, such as seafood, eggs or herring.
It is possible to enjoy fine dining at Michelin-star restaurants or budget dining on the go in Copenhagen. Buffet restaurants are a great place to enjoy local cuisine – the most unusual include herring buffet restaurants, which offer grilled herrings in a variety of different marinades. For fine dining, the Inner City and Frederiksberg offer plenty of international restaurants.
Copenhagen's bakeries are the perfect place to pick up sandwiches for lunch or pastries and coffee for breakfast.
High-end fashion and design stores line the 1.1km Strøget, one of Europe's longest pedestrian streets. While the vibe here may be overtly commercial, it is a great spot to find designer fashion and accessories.
Head for the Old City to find a range of independent boutiques. Prices here are still high but it's here you will find quirkier offerings, from home accessories and fashion to souvenirs. Nørrebro is also a great area for independent craft shops and boutiques.
Travel to Copenhagen and you simply can't afford to miss the city's flea markets. Halmtorvet, near the Central Station offers high-quality clothing and accessories. Nørrebro Flea market, Denmark's longest street market, runs on Saturdays from April to October. For unusual souvenirs, antiques and second-hand goods, this is a must.
Flights to Copenhagen with Qatar Airways arrive at Kastrup Airport, around 12 minutes by train from the city centre.

Buffalo Technologies Announces Availability of 802.11ac Router and Media Bridgeby Ganesh T S & Brian Klug on 5/14/2012 8:00 AM EST

gcor - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkWith the wired connection being half the data rate of the air interface, wouldn't USB 3.0 make more sense? Or is the actual throughput of 802.11ac slower than the actual throughput of USB 2.0? Reply
lurker22 - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkI doubt in real world use that it's faster than a wired gig connection. I still use wired for most things because the latency in wireless is so annoying! Reply
BuffaloBrian - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkTo be honest, the CPU's used in router products are designed to move IP traffic over RF and Ethernet, there is not a lot of CPU cycles left for NAS functionality. Whether using USB 2.0 or 3.0, the bottleneck will still be CPU so the speed of the port provides no real benefit. In most benchmarks of other companies' products, USB throughout on routers is 10-20 MBps, well under the maximum provided by the USB 2.0 interface.
If you want high speed access to disks over your network, a dedicated NAS is required.
PS - I work for Buffalo Reply
hechacker1 - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkTo give an idea of what to expect, my WNDR3700 has a nice 64MB of ram, and a 680MHz atheroes platform.
With that, and highly fine tuned (aligned assembly) code, it can barely route around 400-600 Mbits.
At those speeds, the processor is busy with irq storms and unable to schedule traffic with fine enough granularity that it doesn't matter.
To get the full speed, you have to step up to 1GHz+ processors. I think the airports are pretty good in that regard. Reply
tipoo - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkDoes that mean file transfer between PCs wouldn't be that much faster either? Reply
sheh - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkIt can go faster. I have a Netgear BCM63281-based router. It reads from USB at 40Mbit over SMB, and close to 50Mbit over FTP.
I don't remember the CPU clock right now. It might be 320MHz but I could be wrong. Reply
thetuna - Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - link10-20 MBps = 80-160 Mbps.
Big B for bytes, little b for bits. Reply
LB-ID - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkThe folks at Buffalo are fond of rolling with custom versions of open-source firmware like DD-WRT, which they then fail to update or support via their website. If you can get them on a fire sale, good for you. Otherwise, there are much better options out there. Reply
Tetracycloide - Monday, May 14, 2012 - linkWhy not just get DD-WRT direct from the source? Reply
LB-ID - Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - linkYou'd think that would be the solution, but in reality the Buffalo projects are unsupported by the DD-WRT community. Sometimes it's because they tend to use Atheros chipsets (which don't get much community attention at all), and sometimes because there just doesn't seem to be a modding community member willing to champion them.

Hi All,
I'm just setting up a registration page, which seems to be working ok at the moment. However, i would like to add an email confirm field so that the two fields have to match before the form is submitted. I've attached the code i have below with the 'Email' and Emailconfirm' being to two fields that would need to match. Could someone supply me with either the code i need or where i could sort out the code. I'm learning php at the moment so it has taken me a bit of time to get where i am, but hopefully this is the last hurdle to complete the form.
Many thanks,
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ;
$Reference = $_REQUEST['Reference'] ;
$Forname = $_REQUEST['Christian-name'] ;
$Street = $_REQUEST['Street'] ;
$Town = $_REQUEST['Town'] ;
$Post = $_REQUEST['Post-code'] ;
$country = $_REQUEST['country'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "*******";
$fields = array();
$fields{"Reference"} = "Reference";
$fields{"Name"} = "Name";
$fields{"Christian-name"} = "Christian-name";
$fields{"Institution"} = "Institution";
$fields{"Street"} = "Street";
$fields{"Town"} = "Town";
$fields{"Post-code"} = "Post-code";
$fields{"country"} = "country";

$autoreply = "

If you want to compare the 2 email strings, you could first convert both to either upper or lower case to make the comparison case insensitive and then just use an IF statement to take appropriate action if the 2 email strings are not equal to each other.
Thanks for the quick response. Is there any chance of a working example of the suggestion you have made. I'm fairly new to php so an example would be of great help.
Thanks again for your help.
Something doesn't make sense here.
If you actually are fairly new to php then you couldn't have written the code you posted because the php code concept you need to compare the 2 emails appears in the code you posted.
So it now appears to me that you probably got your posted code from somewhere else and you now simply want someone to tweak it to getting it working for you for free.
If you want to learn how to do it, there are plenty of tutorials and code examples on the www showing you how to compare the value of 2 strings.
Thanks again for getting back to me,
I can understand why you have written that, but I have put a lot of time and effort in to getting this form to work so please don't think i'm trying to cheat to get things done. I am new to php and of course have not written all of this from scratch. If i had i'm sure i know how to do what i have asked help for. However, i have also not just found a php file which contains all of the information i needed in a nice neat file and hope that someone else can alter it for me. It has taken me ages to put this file together. There are lots of free resources available on the internet (e.g. sitepoint!), and through lots of trial and error and a Frankenstein monster attitude i have got the form to do what i want to when i click submit. I'm sure you are just being protective over other peoples work, but if you read my first post, I thought i explained clearly that i would be happy if someone could just point me in the right direction for a tutorial. I can't write php from scratch, but I can understand from reading tutorials how aspects work. From this perspective because i am not used to the language used in php I don't know what to look for to find a tutorial. There seems to be lots of tutorials on how to validate an email address but can't find any help with getting two fields tomatch.
If you are unable to help me, then that is not a problem and i do appreciate that you have taken the time to reply to me. However, hopefully you can understand form my perspective for being a bit annoyed for be accused of just trying to steal other peoples work when you have spent a long time getting to this stage.
ok, but that may or may not all be true. I just find it hard to believe you don't how to compare 2 strings when you are already comparing strings to each other in your posted code.
Like I said, there are countless examples on the www showing how to compare 2 strings.
I am also a rank beginner. I just started trying my hand at programming PHP a few months ago.
I think what you want is something that would do this: if a equals b then (set your variables)
I think that will look something like this:
if (($_REQUEST['Email'] == $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm']){
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm'] ;
I have learned that when you compare two variables, you use a pair of equal signs. If the statement is true, the script performs what is between the two {}.
If you want to have something happen if they do not patch, you could do something like this:
if (($_REQUEST['Email'] == $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm']){
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm'] ;
} else {
echo 'your email did not match the confirmation email.';
Hope this is correct and helps.
Hi CSU-Bill,
Thanks for your help. I've managed to get the code implemented and everything seems to be working ok now. There were a couple of bits that i had to alter, though that was probably more down to my lack of knowledge and how it ended up working.
if ($_REQUEST['Email'] != $_REQUEST['Emailconfirm']){echo "your email did not match the confirmation email.";}
if($from == '') {echo "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($name == '') {echo "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
{header( "Location: http://www.oddsockdesign.co.uk/rac/test/registration.html" );}
{echo "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify firstname.lastname@example.com"; }
What i found was that the other if statements seemed to work on a negative statement and the code would only proceed if that criteria was met. I changed your code to '!=' which after a bit of google found out was the code for not equal to. Am very please and relived to get the last element sorted. Very mutch appreciate your help, I found once you see the pattens that are in the code it is easier to understand what your are asking the code to do.
webdev1958 - Can't be bothered. Sitepoint is a great community that is here to 'help people build a better web'. All i have asked in this post is for tutorials or advice as to how i can solve the initial problem set. I suggest you adopt the attitude that sitepoint outlines as it i here as a means to be 'THE resource for web designers and developers.' It is full of great tutorials and professionals and is a shame that you were not able to adopt that mind set.
When you tested your work, did you test leaving both email entries blank?
I am just wondering if both being blank will meet the comparison requirement and get to your blank check.
Just double checked that and it all works ok. The original code has the email field as a required enter, so it is not possible to submit the form with out this being entered.
Famous last words. It's trivial to bypass any browser side verifications. Never say "not possible" when it comes to posted data.
What ahundiak said!
Also, just because it is checking that the address is submitted, does not mean that it is checking that the two submitted addresses match. This is very messy, but you want to do something like:
if ($emailCheck==$emailConfirm) {
// send the form
} else {
// return to the form
What the TheOriginalH said, plus add trim() to remove lead/trailing whitespaces.
You could even check conform to email norms on both with the use of PHPs Filter
Thanks for the additional advice. I guess it is one thing to get the form to work, it is then another step to put in the safety measures for additional variables. I'll give a go at implementing these elements tomorrow, so hopefully with a bit of trial and error I should be ok.
Also as Cups mentioned, I realised i do not have anything in the php that checks that the email is a valid email address. I'll do this at the same time as the other steps that need to be implemented (thanks for the link. I've found php.net to be a very helpful place for explaining how the individual elements of php works).
Thanks again for all the additional help.
php.net is the home of PHP, and of course its world class online manual.
It is easy to find out what the many functions do, take trim for example:
Simply type in your address bar php.net/trim

Simply sound like your laptop isn't compatible. You've tried the different boot options?
What I suggest you is to try the VMware version. Maybe this works for you.
i have plent of cds with the properly burnt iso images which work on other laptops bar mine i am using a compaq cq50
i have a nvidi gforce graphics card which i think might be the problem because of drivers that i have read about
but first thing is i put the dis in boot it up on startup then it goes through everything and then says someting like :
fatal error accured bt3 data not found (usinga backrtak 3 disk )
maybe a unsupported boot device nd random stuff like that then says something went wrong and we cant continue this should never happen press ctrl alt del to reboot computer
i never get past that stage on my laptop :/ any help?
im using vista home premium
dual core processors 2ghz each
2 gb of ram
not too shabby
any help would be helpful
Simply sound like your laptop isn't compatible. You've tried the different boot options?

Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
Have you checked the HCL on the wiki for advice on this particular laptop or similar models?
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
have you tried booting with a USB stick?
I'm having the same issue with my new macbook pro. I was kinda bound by working the in the graphic industry....but at the same time i figured it would be awesome to slap BT3 on here. I've had no luck. I have gotten the VMware one to work, I just need to set down and figure out how to get everything working correctly.
Just seems like it would be enormously easier if I could just get it to boot and then install it. I even have the partitions ready :sigh:
Just an Idea:
Would it be possible to just get another version of slackware or the nature, and steal the tools from Backtrack 3? If this is a retarded question, tell me to shut it.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
i have the compaq cq50 as well and so far have found no way to get BT running apart form usb and then it doesnt reconise my harddrive or dvd drive. I had the same problem with every flavour of linux i tried until recently when i tried ubuntu Intrepid which works. hopefully BT4 will work but until then like barry says just get yourself a cheap one off ebay that is o the hcl.

BURY slipped to just one place above the League Two drop zone after relegation rivals took advantage of the late postponement of their match at Accrington Stanley due to a waterlogged pitch.
Portsmouth, Wycombe Wanderers and Bristol Rovers all moved above the Shakers after picking up points on Saturday.
But Bury boss David Flitcroft was happy to get the chance to return to the Store First Stadium, rather than risk dropping valuable points due to the soggy conditions.
"I didn't want this game to be a farce - I wanted it to be a proper footballing contest," said Flitcroft, whose side went into the match a point below Accrington in the table.
"I didn't want to lose the game on a mistake, with the ball not running true, or a player getting smashed and being out for the rest of the season.
"The referee has got a duty of care to both sets of players and I've got a duty of care to my football team.
"How would we all have felt if a back-pass didn't roll through, the keeper misses it and we get beat or don't get three points? That would have been a travesty."
Referee Kevin Wright called off Saturday's game at 2.15pm following a lengthy pitch inspection triggered by a torrential downpour that left pools of standing water along the touchline bordering the main stand and in the near corner flags.
And while disappointed fans of both sides voiced their frustrations outside the ground after being turned away at the turnstiles, Flitcroft was adamant the Cambridgeshire official got it "spot on".
Flitcroft's counterpart, Stanley boss James Beattie, agreed.
"We didn't want the game to be won on a mistake because it was the referee that we would have been going to, so I believe the ref made the right decision," said Beattie.
The day was not a total wash-out for either manager, however, as the bottom two in the table – Northampton Town and Torquay – both lost.

LA Unified's adult education program is a lifeline for more than a quarter of a million recent immigrants, high-school drop-outs and anyone else who needs training to get a job or keep one that's changing. We hear what it would mean if budget cuts shut down one of America's largest institutions of its kind. Also, the LA City Council joins a growing movement. Its $30 billion in assets will be deposited only in those banks that meet certain standards for lending, foreclosing and investing in the community. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, a Marine veteran who got on the No-Fly list an can't find out why or how to get off.
Adult Education: The Other Local School Funding Crisis
Adult education is a lifeline for immigrants, drop-outs and anyone else who needs job training. What if budget cuts shut down one of the largest institutions of its kind?
Two days after JP Morgan Chase announced its $2 billion loss from risky trading, the New York and Los Angeles City Councils passed so-called responsible-banking ordinances. In LA, it was the result of a three-year effort by City Councilman Richard Alarcón. The vote in favor of Alarcón's measure was unanimous.

The Los Angeles Unified School District's Evans Community Adult School is the so-called Ellis Island of Los Angeles. Students of all ages come, quite literally, from all over the world. The population was 20,000, but recent cutbacks reduced that to 15,000. Complete elimination of Evans and 29 other such schools was already threatened by LAUSD's worst-case budget, even before Governor Brown announced the latest state shortfall yesterday. KCRW's Saul Gonzalez reports that every one of the LAUSD Adult Education teachers and administrators has a pink slip that could be activated in June.

AFTER promising investors at last year's annual meeting that they would be ''celebrating the reality of production and sales'', the executive chairman of Lynas, Nick Curtis, will this morning face frustrated shareholders at its annual meeting still dogged by extended delays and a share price near two-year lows.
''This time next year I will not be reporting to you the sales we are about to achieve, but rather celebrating with you the reality of our production and sales, and speaking again of the huge potential of our business,'' Mr Curtis said at last year's meeting.
Shares in Lynas rebounded 8¢ to 63.5¢ on Monday, but remain near the two-year lows it plumbed last week, after it was forced into a $200 million capital raising following extended delays to its processing plant in Malaysia.
The Australian Shareholders Association has recommended shareholders vote against the remuneration report, labelling some payments as ''excessive''.
Lynas, with its massive Mount Weld deposit in Western Australia, is closely watched by investors as a potentially key player in breaking China's monopoly on the production of rare earths.
The delays to its processing plant have been in part due to a series of legal challenges from a band of Malaysian environmental activists, who are expected to travel to Sydney for today's annual meeting. The activists have lost each claim so far and are being sued by Lynas for defamation.
But the delays and resultant volatility in Lynas' share price has tested the patience of some investors.
The Australian Securities Exchange and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission are understood to have received complaints from Lynas shareholders over a large volume of shares that changed hands on November 8.
In the space of 15 minutes, close to 25 million shares changed hands - a figure well-above the daily average. The trades were completed after a trading halt was lifted at 3.55pm following a court injunction that was lifted in Malaysia. But shares in Lynas entered another halt before morning trade on November 9, announcing the dilutive and market-sensitive capital raising.
A spokesman for Lynas said it informed the ASX of the court's decision at 3.32pm and it was up to the exchange to decide when to lift the trading halt.

ARCADIA - Section U, row 23 of the Santa Anita Park grandstand is empty on the average day at the races. But the Saturday was no average day. It was the Breeders' Cup.
So thoroughbred-racing fans Robert and Sylvia Mauricio, who live in Seal Beach, and Robert's brother Bill Mauricio, who came in from Texas for the occasion, happily paid $75 each for seats in the uppermost corner of the old grandstand.
"The Breeders' Cup is the best horses in the world," said Robert Mauricio, a 56-year-old plant manager, explaining his enthusiasm.
He added with a grin: "The gambling has something to do with it, too."
Horse racing enjoyed a day in the sun Saturday when 55,123 fans streamed into Santa Anita's stands and infield for the climactic second day of the 28th Breeders' Cup, the sport's annual North American championship event.
The attendance topped Friday's by more than 20,000, but was slightly smaller than those for the Saturday programs when the Breeders' Cup was held at Santa Anita in 2008 and 2009.
The crowd watched nine Breeders' Cup races, including an upset victory by Fort Larned in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic and a sensational win by Wise Dan in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile that left the latter as the likely Horse of the Year for 2012.
Other highlights: A hard-fought victory by 2-year-old Shanghai Bobby in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile that made that colt the very early favorite to win the 2013 Kentucky Derby, and made jockey Rosie Napravnik the second woman to ride a Breeders' Cup winner. And a come-from-behind victory in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint by Mizdirection, whose principle owner is sports talk radio star Jim Rome.
There won't be a day at the races like this in Southern California until next year, when the Breeders' Cup is held at Santa Anita again.
"This is the one you wait for," Bill Mauricio, a postal service employee in San Antonio, said as he looked out from his seat, about a quarter-mile from the finish line, at the colorful scene at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains.
Denise and Steve Vocke and their 15-year-old daughter Cameron arrived two hours before the 10:05 a.m. first race to buy $15 general-admission tickets and plant folding chairs behind the trackside rail, mere yards from the finish.
The Vockes, residents of Charlotte, N.C., also went to last year's Breeders' Cup in Louisville, Ky., indulging Cameron's interest in horses.
"It's the championship," said Cameron, smiling through braces.
Funded in part by fees paid by thoroughbred breeders when their horses are weanlings, the Breeders' Cup rewards winning horse owners, trainers and jockeys with more than $25 million in purses, making it the richest event in U.S. sports.
Results of the Breeders' Cup's 15 races - separate showcases for horses of different sexes, age groups and racing specialties - don't automatically crown year-end champions. But they tend to influence championship voters more than any other races.
This was the sixth time the Breeders' Cup was held at Santa Anita. It has also been held three times at Hollywood Park, in Inglewood, including the event's debut in 1984.
"We got the perfect weather we ordered," Arcadia Mayor Bob Harbricht said as he walked to the turf club to watch the races on a 77-degree day. "It's great to see 60,000 people here. Of course we'd love to have the Breeders' Cup here in Arcadia every year."
While there were many serious fans carrying copies of the Daily Racing Form, squinting at horses' past-performance charts printed out from the Internet, or scouting horses' appearances in the saddling paddock, most of the crowd seemed to be here for a party. Fancy hats and suits were legion. Food and liquor concessions included eight sushi bars.
Horse racing in the United States is thought to be well past its glory days, which stretched from the 1930s, when Seabiscuit was the star at Santa Anita, to the 1970s, when Secretariat and two others swept the Triple Crown.
But Saturday felt like a new glory day.
"The Breeders' Cup is the World Series or the Super Bowl of horse racing," said Tom Quigley, owner-publisher of The Horseplayer magazine, who serves as Santa Anita's "VIP player concierge," helping the track to cultivate big-money gamblers.
"Hopefully people like it so much they'll come back to Santa Anita on a regular basis.That's what we need."

What are some habits that all successful bootstrappers have?
Several successful entrepreneurs responded to this very question, posed by the Young Entrepreneur Council. Each entrepreneur elaborated on how one important trait, practice, or skill has proven beneficial to both themselves and fellow bootstrappers.
Invest Wisely
"One of the biggest mistakes you can make is spending your initial cash infusions on things that don't help create more cash infusions. Invest in things like coaching, website improvements, and things that will help your bottom line in the long run."
-Srinivas Rao, Co-Founder of BlogcastFM
Commit Long Term
"To keep costs low in the early and fragile startup phase, negotiate with vendors for longer contracts that have lower monthly payments. This will help maximize your profits during startup stage so that you can invest and grow your revenues. Once you get to a better financial position, you can renegotiate your contracts."
-Benjamin Leis, Founder of Sweat EquiTees
|Sweat EquiTees supports NFTE when you purchase this T-Shirt!
Know Yourself Well
"Do the homework to know yourself incredibly well: look back at past experiences, ask others close to you, take the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment. Have the confidence to know what you're naturally awesome at and the honesty to know what you're awful at. Then dedicate your time to the former and find amazing talent to take care of the latter."
-Scott Dinsmore, Founder & Managing Partner of Live Your Legend & Cumbre Capital

text: Updated from 11:11 a.m. ET with comments from SIFMA.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The city council of Richmond, Calif. has voted in favor of moving ahead with a proposal to seize underwater mortgages from bond investors through eminent domain, despite the likelihood of a long legal battle. The council voted 4-3 in favor of the "Richmond CARES" program, under which the city, in partnership with a firm called Mortgage Resolution Partners, seeks to buy 624 underwater mortgages held by private investors at a discount to the underlying property value, write them down and refinance them. If investors do not voluntarily sell, the city will seize it through eminent domain. Still, there were clearly concerns among some officials that the plan came with considerable risks. The mortgage industry, including the Federal Housing Finance Agency which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has threatened to cut off Richmond if it uses eminent domain to seize mortgages. Recently, the city had trouble finding takers for a municipal bond offering in August. And the legal battle could be lengthy and costly for the city, with eminent domain cases typically taking two years in court and appeals taking even longer. "A 1 percent chance of bankruptcy from this program is a deal-breaker for me," Councilman Jim Rogers said at the city council meeting, according to Reuters. Eminent domain allows government to seize private property for public use for fair compensation. Richmond officials argue it is the only way they can prevent further foreclosures in the city where more than half of the borrowers owe more than their mortgages are worth and are arguably at risk of default. The mortgage industry has promised a fierce fight, arguing the proposal is unconstitutional and ill-advised, especially because many of the 624 mortgages that the city plans to write down are current and the offer from Richmond is well below what the investors consider to be the fair market value of the loan. Moreover, nearly 40% of those loans have already been modified. Critics say the plan does not really benefit the public and that Mortgage Resolution Partners, which earns a fee for every mortgage refinanced under the program, stands to unfairly profit at the expense of bond investors.

For GoodTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
This is a series of riddles, whose answers all have a relation to each other. Answer the riddles to find the relation.
Riddle 1:
I am a bond that is hard to break,
And you can have one of me with anyone,
as long as you remain kind and friendly.
Riddle 2:
I was born of a person,
who shares their name with a weapon.
They called America the golden land,
But I'm the one with the street of gold.
I have 4 regions,
North, South, East, and West.
Riddle 3:
I arrive when one must play along with something that they don't agree with.
When one fights the higher power,
I am there.
Riddle 4:
If I want to,
I can fight the science textbook.
People want my power,
yet instead of revering me,
they might kill me.
AnswerThey all relate to the musical Wicked.
The answers to the riddles are, in order: friendship, the Land of Oz, rebellion, witches.
Friendship, once it's made, is hard to sever, and you can be friends with any person, as long you remain friendly.
The land of Oz was created by L. Frank Baum, which is pronounced like the weapon that one throws and it explodes. It also possess the famous Yellow Brick Road. Oz is typically broken up into its four regions, which if you read other Oz books or the novel by Gregory Maguire on which Wicked was based,
you'd know were called (starting North and going counter clockwise) Gillikin, Munchkinland, Quadling Country, and the Vinkus.
People rebel when they are forced to deal with something they find wrong.
People rebel against the higher power that is making them go along with the situation that they find wrong.
A witch can defy the laws of nature, which would be written in a science textbook. Most people want the power to magically do whatever they can't do, and yet most recorded "witch" encounters stated that the witches were evil and should be killed.

FindMyPast has added more Surrey records to their Thames & Medway Collection. This time round it is the turn of St Mary's Rotherhithe and St Paul's Rotherhithe, the records are transcripts of baptisms 1850 – 1900 & marriages 1870 – 1885. The mother church for Rotherhithe is St Mary which has parish registers dating from 1555, St Paul's was built as a Chapel of Ease in 1850. The baptisms entries state that the ceremonies took place at St Mary's, but we are told that they actually took place at St Paul's.
Sadly St Paul's was demolished in 1955, but St Mary's still remains. The church has a website with information on the history of parish. A link to the website is given below.
These transcripts have been provided to FindMyPast by Rob Cottrell.

LLEYTON HEWITT will head to Melbourne with a 1-1 record from his only two official tournament matches before the Australian Open, his body no longer giving him any pain but still with some work to do on his game after a 7-5, 7-5 loss to world No.43 Denis Istomin at the Brisbane International.
The 31-year-old will skip his regular Sydney stopover to complete his preparations at the Kooyong Classic for the second time in three years, satisfied with his physical condition, and guaranteed at least three exhibition matches at the annual invitational that this year also features Juan Martin del Potro, Janko Tipsarevic, Juan Monaco, Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, Marcos Baghdatis and an eighth player still to be named.
''Would have liked another match or two here, but, yeah, I was pretty happy with my ball-striking at least,'' Hewitt said. ''Just didn't quite take my chances today when they came up. Both sets, especially the first set, I felt like I was putting a lot more pressure on his service games and just didn't get rewarded for it.
''When you've had a couple months [with] no matches, it doesn't matter how many practice matches you play. Until you get in that situation of playing the tight points and going for your shots and stuff like that on the big points, that's what counts. The two matches have been absolutely a bonus this week, but, yeah, would have been nice to have a couple more.''
Hewitt has rebuilt his ranking to 83rd after toe surgery in February, but would find himself well back into triple figures by failing to avoid an early exit at Melbourne Park, where he played through constant pain to bravely claim a set from eventual champion Novak Djokovic in the fourth round last year.
Having won his opening match 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 against Igor Kunitsyn, Hewitt earned two break points in the opening game against Istomin, but was under increasing pressure to hold his serve as the set wore on, the former world No.1 eventually succumbing in the 12th game with three successive forehand errors.
A healthy first-serve percentage started to drop away in the second, as did a little of Hewitt's aggression, and he was forced to save four break points at 1-2 before suddenly, against the run of play, the Australian broke for the first time himself through an Istomin double-fault. But Hewitt's errors immediately handed back the advantage, and he continued to live dangerously, staring down two more break points in the eighth game.
The next chance was Hewitt's, on the Istomin serve at 5-5, but he was not to glean another, despite his taller, stronger opponent showing his first signs of tension as he struggled to put the tenacious veteran away. The former Wimbledon champion saved one match point in the 12th game, but a final forced backhand error ended the contest after one hour, 45 minutes. Istomin apologised to the crowd after he ended the hopes of the penultimate Australian main draw presence by repeating his quarter-final effort from last year.
Earlier, the Brisbane debut of second seed Milos Raonic lasted a single match, the Canadian's first round bye preceding a 6-3, 6-4 loss to talented young Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov. The world No.48, whose game and classic one-handed backhand are often compared to Roger Federer's, has long been bracketed with both Bernard Tomic and 13th-ranked Raonic among the sport's brightest emerging talents and, at 21, much is expected this season from the former Wimbledon and US open junior champion. Having won all 26 of his first serve points against Raonic, Dimitrov will meet seventh seed Jurgen Melzer in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, young Australian pair Luke Saville and Olivia Rogowska have received discretionary wildcards into the Australian Open, joining play-off winners Ben Mitchell and Bojana Bobusic. Saville won the boys' title in 2012, before improving his senior ranking more than 800 places to reach a career-high of 340, while 21-year-old Rogowska finished her best season at No.113.

National Theatre Marketing Director Sarah Hunt to Join Arts Centre Melbourne
The first-rate creative outflow from The National Theatre of Great Britain to Arts Centre Melbourne continued today with the appointment of Sarah Hunt to the role of General Manager, Marketing and Audience Development at Australia's biggest performing arts centre.
Chief Executive Judith Isherwood announced today that Ms Hunt will leave her role at London's illustrious theatre company and join the Arts Centre Melbourne executive team on Monday, March 18.
The National Theatre's multi-award-winning production of War Horse opened at Arts Centre Melbourne on New Year's Eve to rave reviews, echoing those the show has enjoyed during West End and Broadway seasons. From May 17, the most successful comedy ever to be staged by The National Theatre, One Man, Two Guvnors, is being co-presented by Arts Centre Melbourne and Melbourne Theatre Company for a strictly limited season.
Sarah Hunt has been the National's Director of Marketing & Ticket Sales since 2006, having joined the company in 2004. She was previously Head of Marketing & Press at the Bristol Old Vic, and Marketing Director at the Donmar Warehouse with Sam Mendes. Some of her key achievements at the National have been to revolutionise the way the National understands its audiences, growing and sustaining them at an average 90% capacity - which accounted for 40% of London's total play-goers in 2012. She has widened audiences too, partly through the Travelex £12 Tickets scheme and Entry Pass, a new £5 ticket scheme for 16-25 year-olds. She led the marketing strategies for the West End launch and transfers of War Horse and One Man Two Guvnors; implemented a successful digital marketing strategy, which began with the National's first e-trailer in 2006; worked in partnership with American Express, Travelex, Accenture, The Sunday Times and The Guardian; and led the marketing campaign for Inside Out, the London festival at South Bank during the Olympics.
Arts Centre Melbourne is a defining Melbourne landmark and Australia's largest and busiest performing arts centre. Able to accommodate more than 20,000 at any time, last year Arts Centre Melbourne staged more than 4,400 performances and public events, hosting over 2.3 million people to ticketed and free events.
By comparison, The National Theatre's 2,300 seats in three theatres on London's South Bank, together with the phenomenal success of War Horse, One Man, Two Guvnors in the West End and Broadway and NT Live in cinemas, attracted a 2.3 million paying audience worldwide.
"I am very pleased to have been able to score a hat-trick with the National and lure Sarah to our side of the world," said Judith Isherwood. "Arts Centre Melbourne is determined to occupy the pre-eminent position in Australia, while establishing Arts Centre Melbourne as one of the world's great performing arts centres.
"Our audience and event numbers are big numbers anywhere, and this inspires us to keep working towards our vision to be one of the world's great centres, and to play in the same league as other greats, like London's Barbican and Southbank Centres, the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC and New York's Lincoln Centre. Sarah's extensive experience in these markets will add greatly to the outward-looking entrepreneurial approach we are taking with everything we do," said Ms. Isherwood.

SOUL BARING: Rihanna will launch her third fragrance, Nude by Rihanna, in Macy's on Black Friday. The "seductive floral oriental" blend, which will retail for $49 to $59, follows her first rebellion-exploring scents, Reb'l Fleur and Rebelle, and is meant to bring to mind thoughts of "glistening" skin. "When creating my first scent, Reb'l Fleur, I wanted it to be a really strong scent — daring and bold," said the Grammy winner. "I have gotten more personal with Nude."
The composition includes notes of guava nectar, mandarin and pear — ingredients Rihanna said remind her of growing up in Saint Michael, Barbados — as well as orange blossom, gardenia petals and vanilla orchid.
This story first appeared in the November 16, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
A lingerie-clad Rihanna features in the scent's ad campaign, shot by Tony Duran, which was deemed "too hot" for stores. In fact, an alternate image was created for retail distribution. Rihanna's new album, "Unapologetic," drops on Nov. 19, then the star will kick off her Diamonds world tour in March. "I named my album 'Unapologetic' because there is only one truth, and you can't apologize for that," said Rihanna, who alluded to the possibility of creating a cosmetics or hair-care line in the future. "It's honest. I'm always evolving of course. I think the only motto I have is to be true to myself."

"The drop-out crisis in our country is real, 30% of our high school students never graduate. Teaching entrepreneurial skills, NFTE's leadership, is a big part of the answer. I was lucky enough to have them as a great partner in Chicago, ... so I want to thank NFTE for their remarkable work, not just in Chicago, but around the country. Collectively, we have to end this drop-out crisis... and NFTE is going to help us get where we need to go as a country."
- The Hon. Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education
Award-winning filmmaker Mary Mazzio created an extraordinary documentary that chronicles the inspirational stories of teens from low-income communities striving to defy the odds as they compete in NFTE's annual business-plan competition entered by 24,000 students across the country. The film, TEN9EIGHT, received its first public screening on July 1st at the Aspen Ideas Festival, where it was given a passionate introduction by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

Jan Sanders was born in Kwadijk, The Netherlands in 1919. During World War II he graduated in drawing, and became a teacher and freelance illustrator. He gained national acclaim for the calendars he made for Sigma Coatings, a painting factory. The pictures he drew for these calendars stand out for their cartoonesk quality and great humorous detail, usually dealing with sailors, and always featuring a paintbucket somewhere in the background. They were collected in several albums, the first appearing in 1978. Some titles are ''t Kan Verkeren' (1978), 'Loos Alarm' (1980), 'Lik op Stuk' (1982), 'Rukwinden' (1983), 'Jan Sanders' Schetsboek' (1984), 'Satrirische Spelen' (1984), 'Tussen Wal en Schip' (1985) and 'Een Eerbaar Zeemansleven' (1989). Jan Sanders died on 21 December 2000, at the age of 81. Even though he wasn't a comic artist pur sang, he had a great influence on many, such as Eric Schreurs and Peter van Straaten.

Vargas, lineup switch unable to change course vs. A's
ANAHEIM -- Forget last year. The Angels haven't started a season this poorly since they were an expansion team, simply happy to be in the Majors and on their way to a 70-91 finish. That was 1961, 52 years before evolving into the powerhouse that would sign Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton in back-to-back Decembers and annually sport payrolls in the $150 million range.
The Angels lost eight of their first nine games in '61.
They've lost seven of their first nine in 2013.
In their latest, the struggling offense was rocked to sleep by Oakland starter A.J. Griffin, while their own starter, Jason Vargas, couldn't pitch deep in the game and an overworked bullpen failed to keep things close, leaving the Angels with an 8-1 loss to a division-rival A's team that has now won eight straight games.
The Angels were outscored 26-11 while getting swept at home by Oakland for the first time since 2001. They've dropped all three of their series to start the season, have lost four straight and are already 5 1/2 games out of first place in the American League West.
If any of this sounds eerily familiar to last April, it should.
"We're a good club, and we are going to turn this around," manager Mike Scioscia vowed. "We all believe this. You can say, 'Go out and win,' but if you don't put the steps in place to win, it's not going to add up to where you want to be."
The Angels came into the season hoping to avoid last April's crippling start, when they lost 14 of their first 20 games and, in case you were wondering, six of their first nine.
Like last April, nothing is really working. They called a team meeting after Wednesday's loss and Scioscia shuffled the lineup prior to the series finale, putting Mike Trout in the No. 2 spot to connect him with Pujols and Hamilton.
The Angels proceeded to muster five hits -- two of them, at least, by the struggling Hamilton -- and showed little life against Griffin, the No. 4 starter who hurled eight shutout innings against them last year.
"You have to be optimistic," designated hitter Mark Trumbo said. "We have too much talent to not be. It's very unfortunate that we're in the place we are, but that's the reality. We look forward to keep grinding things away and trying to weather the storm until we click and start taking it to people."
Like last April, the bullpen is struggling. On Thursday, Kevin Jepsen gave up a two-run double to the struggling Chris Young immediately after coming in to relieve Vargas, putting the Angels in a 5-1 hole in the sixth.
Angels relievers posted a 0.72 ERA in their first three games against the Reds, then a 7.71 mark in their next six games against the Rangers and A's.
"They're just not getting it done the way they have the capabilities to," Scioscia said. "[Pitching coach] Mike Butcher is working very hard on it to get each guy where they need to be. Right now, there's a lot of things out of sync on the pitching side, and these guys are better than they've performed."
Unlike last April, the starting pitching isn't really there. Vargas once again did a nice job of working out of trouble early on, giving up only one run through the first five frames. But he gave up a two-run homer to Josh Donaldson to start the sixth, then exited with two on and two outs.
If nothing else, this is a rotation built to eat innings. But no starting pitcher has yet to come out for the seventh, leaving the bullpen to account for 31 innings this year (more than 3 1/3 per game).
"The teams we've faced have been pretty good offensive clubs and Oakland has been really hot, too," said Vargas, who was charged with five runs on 10 hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings, putting his ERA at 4.76 through two starts. "It's just one of those things where they're going to grind out at-bats. You only have so many pitches, but you can't let wanting to get deep in a game affect what you're doing out there."
Another aspect that may be different from last year: health.
The Angels were relatively lucky in that department in 2012, with few players making their way to the disabled list. But they're a little nicked up now. Jered Weaver will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a broken left elbow, Erick Aybar is still trying to recover from a bruised left heel and Alberto Callaspo left Thursday's game after seven innings with a strained right calf.
Perhaps the lowly Astros and Twins, making up the Angels' next six games, can bring a soothing component.
"They have a heckuva team," A's manager Bob Melvin said of the Angels. "Sometimes you catch a team when they're down, and we were lucky to do that. But they're one of the best teams in all of baseball."

text: Please. Of course the HC has significant direct input in draft picks. And also in what side of the ball the picks are being spent on. He's responsible for all three units, and the fact that fans who are unhappy with some losses want to make up excuses for minimizing the head coach's involvement has no bearing on what actually goes on. And the OL problems we've had this year are so overstated. Pass protection matters more than anything else, and we're able to move the ball. We don't score enough because we kill drives with turnovers and penalties and can't run in short yardage situations to extend drives when we have to. Some of all of that is on the OL, but it's not an excuse for insufficient performance. He's retooled almost the entire secondary, the ILB corps, special teams, the OTs (who've fallen apart on us), the OGs, bolstered backup QB and added Demarco Murray. What hasn't he done personnel-wise? He also churns the practice squad, STs coverage units, and the bottom of the roster in general. We've been active on that front the last two seasons. For crying out loud, give the guy credit where he deserves it, and slam him where he does not. Being unhappy with the coach does not have to mean that anybody's an idiot or has made a mess of everything he's touched.

Birbal the Wise - XIIISituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
One day, a dishonest, one-eyed man wanted to punish Birbal. He accused him of stealing his 24 karat gold necklace and reported this theft to the police. The case was brought to the high court where the judge knew Birbal very well, and he also knew that he was not a thief. So, he asked the man, "What makes you think that Birbal stole your necklace?"
"Your Honor, with my own one eye, I saw him stealing the necklace," the man swiftly replied. Then he stated, "If he is innocent, let him prove it. Allow me to bring a hot iron, and if he can hold it in his bare hands, then I will be satisfied that he didn't take my necklace and isn't lying to me."
A confused Birbal said, "You mean that if I'm telling the truth, I will not burn my hands with that red hot iron?"
"Of course not! God will then protect you," the man strongly declared in front of a nodding crowd.
It would seem as if Birbal couldn't do anything but hold the red hot iron which would undoubtedly burn him whether he was telling the truth or lying. However, he came up with another one of his witty replies on the spot.
Can you guess what he said?
AnswerCalmly, Birbal stated, "I am ready for that, if you believe that I will not be burnt, but the same should apply to you also. If you aren't lying, the hot iron should not burn your hands either. So, you can kindly bring that red hot iron, holding it in both of your hands, and then give it to me to hold it."
The speechless man quickly told the judge he would search in his house again, bowed, left, and never lied against Birbal again.

Emergency Plumber in Takoma Park MD
Emergency Plumber in Takoma Park MD
Takoma Park 24 Hour Plumbing Resuce - Serving Takoma Park and surrounding areas. Highly trusted for over 15 years!Call Now! (888) 828-4823
For Emergencies - CALL (888) 828-4823
You should be sure that you go just for an accredited plumber and also a good idea is to read the many different testimonials on the site. Locating a professional plumber for an emergency in Takoma Park MD is not so easy a job. When you get a seasoned plumber it's possible to remain assured they are attentive to the standards and quality to be maintained.
In a crisis or emergency plumbing scenario, services must be accomplished immediately and also the parts used may not always represent your very best options regarding price. A service like a plumbing inspection report will serve as your preventative measure to spot hazards and prevent incidents that might harm your house. By allowing the expert plumbers to deal with the complex plumbing issues, you will delight in a cost-effective support. When you're looking for the ideal plumbing solutions, you'll need to keep in mind that reliability has become the most vital aspect you require to examine.
A plumber can evaluate your house and put in a top quality backflow preveter valve. In this instance, it is going to be smart to opt for a dependable and skilled plumber. All reasons aside, it's always a very good point to learn how to seek the services of the optimal/optimally emergency plumbers not simply to be sure we get our money's worth but also to make sure the challenge is resolved once and for all.
The expert plumbers won't only conveniently get rid of the previous fixtures (of your restroom or kitchen), but in addition be sure in properly installing the new ones in accordance with the neighborhood plumbing or building code. From the few points above you should have the ability to observe why it sometimes essential to employ a professional plumber. If you need to locate a good emergency plumber it's always essential to think about a few important facets.
Many Takoma Park MD plumbers work on normal business hours from Monday to Friday, but in many instances, this is not when you need them the most. Plumbing emergencies often choose the most inopportune moments to occur, including the middle of the night. When a pipe bursts at midnight and most plumbing companies have closed for the night, you don't have the luxury of waiting till morning – unless you are willing to deal with a lot of damage to your home. Fortunately, you can now call a 24 hour emergency plumber who will be at your house in less than an hour to take care of your emergency, regardless of the time or the emergency.
What does it cost?
You may be worried about how much it will cost you to get a plumber to your house after hours. It is worth noting that while an independent plumber may work in your favor for planned plumbing projects, he may cost you a lot more to take care of an emergency – assuming you can even get him to come over. You will probably get the best deal from a 24 hour company, because such services are at the core of their business, so you won't have to worry about exorbitant prices. They don't charge extra for showing up at your house at 2am – you pay the same as you would if you called at 2pm.
However, it is always advisable to get an estimate of the fees and charges before an emergency occurs so you are not surprised when the bill arrives. The best approach would be to research several companies in your area to find out how their prices compare. This way, you will know which 24 hour emergency plumber in Takoma Park MD to call when you need one.
Well equipped
Another major advantage of working with an emergency plumbing company is that they often specialize in a wide range of services. Since they have to be available around the clock, they must be ready to deal with every type of plumbing situation. They are also prompt, helping to fix the problem before it turns into a major disaster. These services may just save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars that you would have otherwise spent repairing damages.
Your security
Reputable 24 hour emergency plumbing companies are not only licensed, but they are also insured. You need to know that your plumber is licensed and has gone through a background check. This will give you the assurance that you won't compromise your security and that of your family by making that crucial call in the middle of the night.
Avoiding emergencies
The main benefit of a 24 hour emergency plumber in Takoma Park MD is that you can get him whenever you need him. However, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. As such, it is always best to avoid emergencies by having a professional plumber run a few maintenance procedures in your home. Ultimately, it's always easier to schedule a preventative maintenance appointment than it is to wake up in the middle of the night to a flooded room. It is also a lot less expensive.
