I was guarnateed a monthly income to exceed substantially amounts invested within a year.
Thus far I have received $142 since January. They instructed me to call weekly. I attempt to call, but they are never there or switch me from counselor to counselor or never return my calls.
I am not a wealthy person and invested through my credit cards. I receive disability and most of my disability money goes toward paying the minimum on the credit cards.
I was instructed that this would be a write off on my income tax. Wrong again! My accountant informed me that this was gambling and would be impossibble to do.
Can you please help me?

The harbour area of the town is famous for having an area of preserved timber houses that date back to the 17th century. Visiting this area called Tyholmen provides a fascinating look back through history – even the old town hall is made of the same materials. Hiring a car in Arendal gives you the freedom to drive to the inner harbour, Pollen, where you will find the well known fish market and the finest restaurants.

We finally got passed Einhorn, greenberg and sec investigation. Institutions are upgrading hlf to a buy and reitterating that buy recommendation over and over again. The quarterly reports are awesome. Hlf gives an exceptional dividend and continually benefits shareholders with share buybacks. Now is the time for the stock to soar. Unfortunately the shorts (which is very high for hlf since they had so many obstacles to overcome) have nothing on the table to bring the stock down. That is except to come on these message boards and try to scare the shareholders into selling. I have not seen the charts and don't need to. Charts can be right or wrong. I like to believe the financials, the fundamentals and the company over the shorts. The only thing weighing down this stock now is the shareholders. For all of us to bring this company back to it previous high we need to be confident and hang in there and add to our positions while it's down because this stock is undervalued.
Very well said lady!!!
I agree with most of what you say but the dividend is not enough for most investors who care about dividends to deal with the volatility. Fundamentals of the company are good but you have no major players currently buying on fundamentals. Until that occurs the HFTs are the major players in the market and they are all algorithmic traders. So at the risk of sounding too much like de.19711... the charts will tell you where this thing is heading in the short term. Long term I believe HLF will be an incredible opportunity at current levels.
I am looking at a 2.30% dividend. That is above most dividends and has increased year over year. Almost all of my portfolio pay dividends and this is my highest payer. Why would the large institutions want to stay away with a generous dividend like that?
I don't think what people say on message boards has more than a trivial effect on share price. In fact, very often the stock is moving on news that people on the board haven't even seen.To the larger point: It'd be nice if we were beyond Einhorn, but his ghost still lurks outside the window. And even aside from him, there's a lot of smoke around HLF right now making people worry there might be fire. So the current price is factoring in risk. I don't think it's a conspiracy. I also think it's probably going up long-term.
Yup looks like I jumped in to early but since I have Sept calls I'll wait for the charts to turn around.. It will this shouldn't be in the 50's.

More effort needed to reduce summer ozone19 Mar 2012
Ground level ozone causes health problems, decreases crop yields and damages the environment. Ozone levels exceeding certain targets in Europe were less frequent in summer 2011 than in any year since monitoring started in 1997.

Europe needs to use water more efficiently29 Feb 2012
Europe needs to redouble efforts in using water more efficiently to avoid undermining its economy, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). Inefficient water use impacts hard on the resources needed by ecosystems and people, both vital assets for European productivity and security.
Twelve Member States exceeded one or more of the emission limits set by the EU National Emission Ceilings (NEC) Directive, according to recent official data for 2010 reported to the European Environment Agency (EEA). In some instances the limits were exceeded by significant amounts.

I set up my personal site with WordPress and it's been working beautifully, but I'm trying to do something very specific and I can't quite get it to work.
I am using pretty permalinks, and I have a page detailing my projects at:
I want to be able to create a subdirectory of that virtual directory like this:
and have it go to a real directory full of non-WordPress files. I've attempted to create the directories, but WordPress ignores the permalink if the "projects" directory actually exists.
So, my question is this: can I use .htaccess or something to redirect (and cloak) /projects/project_name/ to another directory on my site or can I create the directory /projects/project_name/ and use some sort of .htaccess trick to show the WordPress page upon attempting to visit /projects/index(.htm/.php) but allow access to its subdirectories?

Bullzip PDF Printer 10 creates a virtual printer driver that lets you convert just about any Windows document into an industry-standard PDF file.
To use the program, first open the document that you'd like convert into PDF, then choose the Print option. Select "Bullzip PDF Printer" in the list, click Print, and the conversion dialog will pop up. And if you're happy with the default settings, then all you need to do is provide a name for the file, click Save and your PDF document will be created and displayed.
Need more control? Then browse the Bullzip PDF Printer tabs, where you're able to define the document resolution and metadata (author, title, subject and so on), add a watermark, password-protect and encrypt your document, or add it to the end of an existing PDF file.
And while we suspect you'll mostly want to create PDF files, Bullzip PDF Printer can also export your documents to several other formats: BMP, EPS, JPEG, PCX, PNG, PS and TIFF.

Hello WordPress Support Team
My problem is whenever I edit any of the pages of my Site (http://citychurchsite.info/missions/) except the Home page, the pages are not being saved. I am seeing blank pages. I do not think it is a browser problem since I "emptied" my browser and used different browsers to try to have the problem corrected.
It is possible (I think) that it my be the pages themselves.
I also tried to have to the problem resolved by changing Themes, but that did not work so it is not a Theme or template problem.
Thanks for fixing the problem.

Best Global Brands 2009
Well…the results are in. Interbrand has announced 2009's 'Best Global Brands'.
Interbrand indicates that the big theme this year is 'trust', I beg to differ. Branding has always been about building trust. Look at any ad from the 50s– 'Trust Ovaltine to keep your family happy!" or "Chevy, buy from someone you trust" or "Acme, the name you can trust". Today, we're taking it one step further. If you want me to trust your brand, you've got to be transparent. The difference between then and now is transparency. Chevy can promise a reliable car to earn trust, but you can better believe if it's a lemon, people are going to hear about it. Back then, board meetings took place behind locked doors. Innovations were top secret. Today, you better practice what you preach and you better be honest.
The game has changed thanks to the Internet–the power is now back in the hands of the people. Big CMOs and agencies are complaining about shrinking budgets. Ironically, they aren't needed anymore. You no longer have to spend a few hundred million to get your brand in front of the public. We, as brand strategists and creatives, have to be both increasingly creative and transparent. Big brands beware, this marks the beginning of change in how we evaluate brand value and how consumers choose brands.
Now, back to the results.
Coca-Cola remains as the number one global brand with a value of $68,734 (m). The big news this year is that brand darling Apple has broken the top 20 with a brand value increase of 12% to $15,433 (m) and its rival, Microsoft, saw 2009 as the first year of decline in value. Banks and autos are down (big surprise) and innovation and sustainability are up.
Interbrand's methodology is pretty straightforward. The candidates are evaluated on the following criteria:
1. Publicly available financial data
2. 1/3 of the brand's revenues must come from outside its country of origin
3. The brand must play a significant role in the customers' purchase decision
4. The Economic Value Added must be positive
5. The brand must have broad public awareness

The eruption of Krakatau on 27 August 1883 was one of the largest explosive volcanic events in recent historic time. Tsunamis followed three cataclysmic explosions, the first two before dawn on the 27 August producing tsunamis with 10 m run-ups, while the third and largest explosion at 10:02 a.m. on the 27th triggered a tsunami that penetrated more than 5 km inland in low-lying areas of Western Java. In total, 300 villages in Indonesia were destroyed by the tsunami, and more than 36,000 lives lost. Wave heights at Batavia (Jakarta) reached 2.35 m, and reached around 1 m on the shores of north-west Australia and south-east Africa.

I can't tell you how sick and tired I am of seeing all these social media, seo, twitter, etc. experts that are infecting the places we call home. Some I try to give the benefit of the doubt and look what they have to offer but I am only letdown to see that they are schlepping information they pulled out of an O'Reilly or "For Dummies" book. I began thinking about what this means, thinking is this it, is this what this industry is going to become? False hope. Empty promises. These experts are essentially selling services to show you how to simply use, some try to show you how to game the people on them; and for that they should be shot. But it did make me think about what differentiates people from "experts" and the people who really know how to create real results.
I then thought about these chefs and their cookbooks that they sell every twelve months and why people buy them. What gives them an edge? What defines them as special or the real thing? It can't always rely on their celebrity, it can't only rely on the ingredients required. So what is it that draws people to repeatedly buy cookbooks that are written by the same chef who only explores in detail one or two cuisines?
I broke down what I believe to be the key to successful chefs and successful cookbooks and why they become successful outside of celebrity. First, let's break down the aspects of most cookbooks. They always have ingredients, measurements, awesome photography (food porn), a reason to make the book, and finally certain techniques and skills you're going to need to accomplish the recipes successfully.
So I began to breakdown what makes a chef successful, which in turns helps a cookbook become successful. A chef has acquired skills, essentially the tools of their trade, they know how to use them with expert craftsmanship. Some are better than others in different areas but for the most part they are well equipped to handle the tools of the trade. Next, it is equally important for chefs to have an intimate relationship with the ingredients they use to make great culinary dishes. When they understand the building blocks of what makes great food and how to build on them they become more successful at their craft. To only know how to wield a knife or how to make great dough but lack knowing what tastes great is only half of the equation. Same if you know the ingredients to combine to make a great dish but lack the knowledge how to transform that raw product into a finished meal through timing, heat, prepping, mixing, and blending; you will inevitably fail.
But when a chef can combine the tools, ingredients, and skills together that is when you begin to see what makes culinary art. I once heard that most chefs, whether they know it or not, are working from some modified version of recipes crafted from Larousse Gastronomique and Escoffier's Le Guide Culinaire which are over 100 years old. So with thousands of ways to make the same dish all derived from roughly the same mother recipe how do chefs define themselves with new cookbooks. Partly, they continue their search to blend and manipulate skills, ingredients, and varying cuisines to make completely new, relevant dishes that make people excited.
This is quite the long way to make my point but here it is. Too many people focus on the technologies (skills, equipment, the knives and blenders) that they forget they need great content (ingredients, fresh and exciting). Also, many people only focus on great content but lack the technology to propel their ideas to the right people. It is truly the fine mix and constant reinvention of both worlds that help business succeed. How can you be an expert of one without understanding the other? Great communication artistry is never self-proclaimed and is always doing what they do because they are passionate about what the end result brings. Great results is the combination of great people who know how to help you connect to the right people at the right place at the right time. Don't trust experts, trust passionate people who have the skills and ingredients. Like food, the best often comes from places you would never think of and are created by passionate people who commit their lives to giving you their very best.

SACRAMENTO - A state Senate hearing not only confirmed Wednesday that the governor's administration purchased a fleet of alternative fuel vehicles that have yet to burn anything but gasoline, but lawmakers also suggested the vehicles were purchased to benefit a specific automaker that has a cozy relationship with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger: General Motors.
Auto manufacturers and state officials confirmed that the contract specifications for the fleet purchases were dramatically changed two years ago in such a way that only GM cars met the requirements.
"What they did was create a sole-source contract," said Sen. Dean Florez, D-Bakersfield, who led up the three-hour hearing in the Capitol. "This is not about good public policy. This is not about being green. It's about politics that gave GM an edge."
After the hearing, Mary Beth Stanek, director of GM's Environmental, Energy and Safety division, confirmed that the company's vehicles were "the only ones that qualified." GM officials added, however, that the bid was competitive and legal and that GM believes it was not given any special consideration.
Schwarzenegger officials said the governor had no knowledge or involvement with shaping the contract requirements. General Services officials also said they did nothing to intentionally steer the contract to GM.
Campaign donations
Others are suspicious, however, especially given the automaker's financial support of the governor's causes, including more than $47,000 in campaign contributions to Schwarzenegger since 2004 and a loan of at least six cars used during his trip last year to Japan, where he promoted American businesses, including GM. Florez also expressed concerns over prior reports that one of the governor's non-profit foundations received millions of dollars in donations from GM, with money flowing into the private accounts after he took office.
Florez and Sen. Abel Maldonado, R-San Luis Obispo, vowed Wednesday to further probe the relationship between GM and the governor, saying they are concerned about several connections, including Schwarzenegger's promotion of the Hummer - another GM product.
The hearing Wednesday was called in response to a Mercury News investigation that revealed the administration has purchased 1,138 "flex-fuel" vehicles - Chevrolet Impala sedans and Silverado pickups that can run on high-grade cleaner-burning ethanol, but instead have burned nothing but gasoline. The state touted the buys as a major effort in greening the fleet.
The state changed its contract bid specifications for alternative-fuel vehicles for model years 2006 and 2007 to include "flex-fuel" vehicles as an option. The contract also specified they had to be capable of running on E85, said Rob Cook, former deputy director of the state's General Services department, which purchased the vehicles. Only GM had such vehicles available that also met another requirement: certification from the state Air Resources Board that allows them to be sold in California.
General Services officials insisted the bid process was legal and open. Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said Florez's accusation was unfair when he suggested GM possibly benefited from its close relationship with the government.
"It is shameful," McLear said, "that Sen. Florez would fabricate a completely baseless charge like that."
Vehicles' emissions
Lawmakers, however, were infuriated by repeated claims by Schwarzenegger officials Wednesday that the cars are environmentally friendly.
When the Impala, a large sedan, runs on E85 (a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline), it will emit about 6.5 tons of greenhouse gases annually, but it emits 8.3 tons when it runs on gasoline. The figures come from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Web site and are for every 15,000 miles a car travels. The site also shows that many of the smaller sedans in the state's fleet, which run exclusively on gas, are less polluting.
Cleaner vehicles
"Clearly, there are vehicles other than flex-fuel vehicles that are cleaner," said Assemblyman Ted Lieu, D-El Segundo, later adding, "The administration needs to align their actions on alternative fuels with their rhetoric. We're going to stay on them until they do."
In their defense, Schwarzenegger officials repeatedly said federal laws forced them to buy thousands of alternative-fuel vehicles they cannot currently fill with cleaner fuels. In California, the problem with ethanol-burning vehicles is that there is only one place in the state where the fuel is available - a privately owned station in San Diego that the state doesn't use.
Both Lieu and Florez, however, pointed out that the U.S. Department of Energy allows state governments to apply for waivers when they can't buy a truly green fleet.
"Why didn't you apply?" Florez asked. "Why don't you?"
Cook, the former General Services deputy director who now has a new appointment with the governor, insisted that the state also must show "leadership" by buying the cars so the stations will eventually be built.
"Demand creates supply," Cook said.
The first of 47 state-funded E85 stations should be open in December 2009. That's four years after the first cars hit the road. In the meantime, Cook said the state will go out to bid, as soon as today, to get the E85 fuel for a single pump inside a garage a few blocks from the Capitol. He couldn't say how many cars and trucks that would fuel.

Protesters gather in Dealey Plaza to blast negative sentiment of Syrian refugees
About two dozen protesters called the Texas governor and other politicians "bigoted" for their desire to keep Syrian refugees away from the U.S.
The protesters braved chilly weather and held signs up to passing motorists. A few honked in support.
The demonstration came after terrorist attacks on Paris prompted Gov. Greg Abbott to declare that Texas will not accept refugees from Syria. Abbott said he didn't trust the federal vetting process for refugees and feared a few terrorists could slip through and create "unacceptable peril."
Several Republican presidential candidates, including real estate mogul Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, have expressed similar opinions.
Dallas activist Hadi Jawad said the politicians are "fear-mongering."
"They are making a political football out of this desperate situation," he said Saturday.
"I just wanted to do something other than post something on Facebook and say 'this is sad,'" said Marty Ruggles, 52. "I'm just standing up for love. If I had space, I'd invite a family to move in with me."
Ruggles and others at the protest said they are Christians and believed turning away refugees was against their values. Some held signs that said "Jesus was a refugee."
Laurel Moran, 38, and her husband brought their two young children to the protest. She said she that she goes to protests sometimes when she believes there has been a "great injustice."
"I believe that we have a lot of privilege, and we're very fortunate to live in a safe place. But it's basically luck," she said. "We have good luck, and people who are coming from Syria as refugees are not having very good luck right now. And as human beings, we have to help each other."

On Saturday, dogs will hit the pavement to help raise money and awareness for the National Education for Assistance Dog Services' "Canines for Combat Veterans" drive.
The walk: On Saturday, dogs will hit the pavement to help raise money and awareness for the National Education for Assistance Dog Services' "Canines for Combat Veterans" drive. The Fourth Annual Dog Walk, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Putnam Farmers Market off Kennedy Drive, will also feature a number of pet education and animal rescue groups.
The cause: The National Education for Assistance Dog Services, or NEADS, group provides service dogs to disabled veterans at little or no cost. The dogs are trained to serve a variety of veteran needs, ranging from wheelchair and prosthetic aid, to helping with hearing and balance conditions incurred by soldiers wounded by roadside bombs. Many of the hearing dogs are rescued from shelters, while others are fostered or trained by inmates in the Prison PUP Partnership, giving both inmates and canines a new lease on life, according to a press release from the group. NEADS states the service dogs can be a cost-effective part of a recovering soldier's physical and psychological therapy.
Fundraising: Since the dog walk event began three years ago, more than $10,000 has been raised — $2,000 of which was collected last year. There is no cost to participate in the dog walk, though donations and pledges will be accepted. Advance sign-up and pledge sheets can be picked up at WINY Radio, at 45 Pomfret St. in Putnam. Additionally, downloads are available at www.winyradio.com or www.putnamct.us.
For more information about the event, contact Stu Neal at (860) 928-4960.

Premier League – Yahoo! Fantasy Premier League Message Board
I give up
Week in week out im just spending too much time on picking a team and it amounts to nothing, I try to make obscure picks for my team, I mean yeah if I had Suarez in my team id be having a lot more success in every league but where's the fun in that? The likes of Berahino, Assaidi, etc get overlooked and theyre top class, shame that. Im gonna just stick to playing footy from now on, but my fantasy footy days are over, won't be spending more than 5 mins putting a team together and I can only encourage you all to do the same. Happy 2014 to you all and God bless!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
i think itt's the best policy just to pick the players you think will get the most points. whether they are "obvious" picks or "obscure". It's down to knowledge, like most things, and it won't always work out. Anyway, good luck with your playing the real sport
- 1 Reply to David
well this week it work out for me! Ki in midfield and he got me 42 points as he was my captain! happy with that one! lost 3-0 in real life though, subbed on 15 mins to go couldn't change the game! ah well take the positives ay?
Netley Lucas Netley Lucas Jan 2, 2014 00:44 Flag
Suarez has become a default insurance policy, thankfully he's returning to a normal scoring policy, so we'll get more options with captaincy. Don't give up, this is fun... your views on dark-horses are most welcome.

A Yahoo! User Jan 12, 2014 19:41 Flag
Still 2 goals and 33 points for Suarez and probably a few against Villa too!
to be fair i haven't only got dark horses in my team, i mean i didnt spend a lot of time putting my team together this week and today actually went well so i think i'll keep this going

Fourteen Extended: 1.2.31
I had high hopes for Fourteen Extended, and it does indeed have some useful tweaks, however it doesn't have one the one feature I was really looking for-
I want my site to have its main menu options displayed in the left-hand sidebar, with the top menu area basically empty other than the search widget. I.e. A traditional "F"-shaped page layout.
I can easily put my site navigation in the LH sidebar (the secondary sidebar), BUT because the theme considers this to be the "secondary", when the responsive theme switches to mobile (small screen) mode, my main nav disappears to the bottom of the page, where most users probably won't even realise it exists. Meanwhile the 4-bars "collapsed menu" icon on the mobile layout always links to the primary menu, which in my case is empty!
At the moment as a workaround I've put a "skip to menu" link in the main menu, that scrolls the screen down to the secondary menu, but this is a bit clunky.
I realise I could be accused of misusing TwentyFourteen as a one-sidebar theme, but I like its modern appearance and other features, even if it is a bit prone to quirks like this.
What would make Fourteen Extended a "killer plugin" for me would be an option to flip the priority + purpose of the two sidebars in TwentyFourteen, something like a "Make the LH sidebar primary" option.
The functional impact of this, in the small screen / mobile view would be-
1) The top sidebar content is shifted to the bottom of the screen.
2) The left sidebar content is hidden, and connected to the menu icon button as a popup.
In technical term, this might be as simple as swapping some IDs over in the page markup.
Is this a feature that could be included in a future version of Fourteen Extended ?
Regards: Colin

Sunday, 25 November 2012
(Reuters) - Two suicide bombs killed at least 11 people on Sunday at a church in a barracks in northern Nigeria, where the Islamist sect Boko Haram is waging a campaign of violence, the military said.
Army spokesman Bola Koleoso said a bus drove into the side of the St. Andrew Military Protestant Church at the Jaji barracks in Kaduna state and exploded at around 1105 GMT, five minutes after a service had started. Explosives inside a Toyota Camry were detonated outside the church ten minutes later, he said. The military said at least 30 were injured.
A military source who witnessed the attack said the second bomb was the most deadly, killing people who went to help the injured from the first blast. Witnesses said the barracks was cordoned off and ambulances carried the wounded to hospital.
Christians in the northern city of Kano yesterday were also targeted in a separate attack in which two motorcycle-riding gunmen killed a couple and their child as the family made their way to church. The family's other child escaped the shooting unhurt.

With Tommy Robinson of the EDL in jail as a political prisoner, along with the discouraging news that counter-jihad parties can't seem to get much above 10% of the vote in Europe, I think it is inevitable that Europe will eventually be totally Islamicized.
Right now, most of the violence is directed at the small Jewish minority, but as the demographics change, Europe will see violence directed against Christians, such as there is now in nerthern Nigeria.

Organizational Exit
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a cease and desist order targeting provisions in severance agreements that limit an employee's ability to cash in on a whistleblower award.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may not broadly enforce separation agreements that may limit an employee's right to file a charge with the agency absent a conciliation attempt or an allegation that the employer engaged in discriminatory or retaliatory practices, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled.
On January 15, 2015, the Vermont "mini-WARN" law went into effect. The Vermont Notice of Potential Layoffs Act adds state-level notification requirements to the current requirements under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
A Mississippi federal court has ruled that a public university professor's religious speech to his students and colleagues was not protected from employer discipline or termination by the First Amendment because he spoke on his official capacity as a professor.
The EEOC alleges in a recently-filed lawsuit that CVS unlawfully violated employees' rights by conditioning the receipt of severance benefits on an "overly broad, misleading and unenforceable" separation agreement that could deter employees from filing discrimination charges or voluntarily communicating with the EEOC. Employers should continue to follow the development of this case as it will likely have an impact on employer separation agreements.
An Ohio federal court ruled that "crying spells" were sufficient for an employee to take FMLA leave and found that the employer's dubious response to the leave may have violated the FMLA.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals allowed a pregnancy discrimination case to go to trial because the employer offered multiple, inconsistent reasons for the employee's termination. The court's decision illustrates the importance of being mindful of the process of termination and ensuring that the reasons given for termination are accurate and consistent.
Starting October 1, 2013, Connecticut employers will be subject to various time-sensitive recordkeeping requirements due to recent amendments to the state's longstanding Personnel Files Act.
Employers in West Virginia must comply with important changes that have been made to the state termination pay law starting July 12, 2013.
The Supreme Court of Oregon created a new exception to the employment at-will doctrine, which may affect hiring and firing practices. Oregon employers should familiarize themselves with this decision and should immediately adjust their job offer, onboarding practices and termination decisions accordingly.

Caleb's Crossing is a mesmerizing tale of friendship, survival, loyalty, and love, propelled by two friends whose ability to thrive in times when it was hard enough just to survive. Their story is a marvel of the human spirit. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I hope you all will consider putting it on your book lists and read it soon. Anyone who enjoys historical fiction as much as I do will need to purchase it immediately. Brooks is a not only a captivating writer, but also a master researcher, and she gives me so much pleasure reading her fictionalized tales about the Native American man she has discovered.
LOW ENTRY Book Giveaway: Win Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks-
Rules of Civility: A Novel by Amor Towles was a FANTASTIC book–one I highly recommend to all historical fiction fans, if not all fans of good books in general. I loved it because it perfectly captures a complex, layered and authentic year in time of a young, impressionable immigrant woman trying to rise to greatness in Manhattan during the late 1930′s. Towles proves his literary abilities to be superior, giving the book genuine charm, sophisitcation, and spirit. I could ramble on and on about how well-crafter this book is written, but I've got a great Q&A with Amor Towles, so make sure to check that out, because he tells the story of creating Rules of Civility much better than I possible could.

Moving Past a Layoff by Starting a Non-Profit
Dawn Jordan is a former operations vice president at Bank of America. Her job was eliminated near the end of 2008. Previously, Ms. Jordan spent three years with the personal-insurance division of Countrywide Financial as vice president of customer retention. She lives in Laguna Beach, Calif.
Since my last post, I've heard differing views on starting my own business. Many people warned about the rate of failure, liability and the difference between running your own business versus managing someone else's.
Many made polite and not so polite suggestions that entrepreneurs born of necessity are somehow less credible and therefore less likely to succeed. However, the majority of people have offered encouraging words and advice.
Upon hearing that my business idea is actually a non-profit, some said this is no time to undertake such an endeavor. Others have said quite the opposite. They believe the greed and conspicuous consumption we've recently seen will make businesses and people more likely to embrace social responsibility.
One of the more popular questions I have been asked is about the specific criteria I am using to make my decision. Non-profit or not, I think the answer can be boiled down to two things: customers and capital. Do I have customers lined up to use my service? And, do I have to invest my own capital?
At this point, I'm still in the preliminary stages of launch. I've made inquiries to the pertinent parties to gauge interest and perceived need, as well as contacted prospective sponsors for feedback since corporate sponsorship is integral to my funding strategy. I've drafted an initial business plan and researched the required documents I'll need to set up shop.
I don't think it is ever easy to start a business. But I also don't think starting one during a recession has to be more difficult, particularly if it is not capital intensive and you are filling a legitimate need, which is the case with my concept.
For me, there may actually be some benefits to taking the plunge now, rather than waiting. First, the high unemployment rate has created a surplus of people looking to volunteer. It also means I can gain access to some of the most savvy business people in the country who otherwise wouldn't have time to help or talk with me.
Second, depending on how the business scales, it could become a full-time opportunity or it could just be supplemental income. One of the biggest lessons I've learned from my layoff is to create multiple income streams for myself. All the better if one of them is something I am passionate about and which I find gratifying.
I don't think starting a business is an easy answer to overcoming a layoff. At best, it is a trade off for a different set of problems including greater responsibility and risk. It's also not something I take lightly, but the fact is that as a single person with no dependents I am willing and able to assume more risk for the right opportunity. In the end, my motivation to potentially launch a business is not about what I can mitigate, it is about what I can create.
Readers, have you started a business since your layoff? Share your stories in the comments section.

Photos: Brandon Rios Looks Drained at Weigh-In For Abril
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - The weights are in for Saturday night's HBO pay-per-view. In a battle for the vacant WBA lightweight championship, interim beltholder Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8KOs) came in at 135-pounds. Former champion Brandon Rios (29-0-1, 22KOs) weighed in at 137, two-pounds over the lightweight limit. He came back later to weigh-in a second time at 139. Rios struggled to make weight for his last fight in December against John Murray and initially planned to move up to 140 before agreeing to this fight.
Rios looked drained, similar to his last fight against Murray, but he was also in good spirits for Saturday's fight. Saturday's fight could get interesting as most experts consider Abril to be a stiffer test than John Murray. Photos by Chris Robinson. For more weigh-in photo coverage, click here .
In a junior welterweight bout, Mike Alvarado (32-0, 23KOs) and Mauricio Herrera (18-1, 7KOs) both came in at 140-pounds. Photos by Chris Farina/Top Rank
Undefeated lightweight contender Mercito Gesta (24-0-1, 12KOs) weighed 137-pounds, while Oscer Cuero (15-7, 12KOs) came in at 138-pounds.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has announced the creation of the ETSI Industry Specification Group for 'Identity and access management for Networks and Services' (ISG INS) to develop a common industry view on Identity Management (IdM) protocols and architectures, relating mainly to networks and services for the Internet of the future.
The Group will focus on architectures and protocols that are the key to new networks and services by capturing the results of IdM research and development activity and formulating an industry consensus.
Much of the input to the group will be derived from European Union 7th Framework Project (FP7) R&D activities on Identity Management with a specific focus on networks and services, languages for access control and privacy policies. The Industry Specification Group plans to create a series of commonly agreed Europe-wide specifications, which can be further developed by standardization groups such as ETSI and 3GPP™ as formally adopted standards for European or global use.
At the first meeting of ISG INS, Amardeo Sarma (NEC) was elected as Chairman and Ricardo Pereira (Portugal Telecom) and Peter Scholta (Deutsche Telecom) as Vice-Chairmen. Membership of the group currently consists of two network operators (Deutsche Telekom and Portugal Telecom), two manufacturers (NEC and Nokia Siemens Networks) and two technical institutes (Fraunhofer Institute and Waterford Institute of Technology). This membership is expected to grow rapidly, as participation is open to all ETSI members, as well as to non-members of ETSI subject to signature of a participation agreement.

Combating Terrorism:
U.S. Oversight of Pakistan Reimbursement Claims for Coalition Support Funds
GAO-08-932T: Published: Jun 24, 2008. Publicly Released: Jun 24, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7331
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The United States has reimbursed Pakistan, a key ally in the global war on terror, about $5.56 billion in Coalition Support Funds (CSF) for its efforts to combat terrorism along its border with Afghanistan. The Department of Defense (Defense) provides CSF for costs incurred in direct support of U.S. military operations. Pakistan is the largest recipient of CSF, receiving 81 percent of CSF reimbursements. This testimony focuses on (1) the extent to which Defense has consistently applied its guidance to validate the reimbursements claimed by Pakistan and (2) how the Office of the Defense Representative to Pakistan's (ODRP) role has changed over time. This statement is based on a concurrently issued GAO report titled Combating Terrorism: Increased Oversight and Accountability Needed over Pakistan Reimbursement Claims for Coalition Support Funds, GAO-08-806 (Washington, D.C.: June 24, 2008).
Defense Comptroller issued new guidance in 2003 to enhance CSF oversight. The guidance calls for, among other things, CSF reimbursement claims to contain quantifiable information that indicates the incremental nature of support (i.e., above and beyond normal operations), validation that the support or service was provided, and copies of invoices or documentation supporting how the costs were calculated. While Defense generally conducted macro-level analytical reviews called for in its guidance, such as determining whether the cost is less than that which would be incurred by the United States for the same service, for a large number of reimbursement claims Defense did not obtain detailed documentation to verify that claimed costs were valid, actually incurred, or correctly calculated. GAO found that Defense did not consistently apply its existing CSF oversight guidance. For example, as of May 2008, Defense paid over $2 billion in Pakistani reimbursement claims for military activities covering January 2004 through June 2007 without obtaining sufficient information that would enable a third party to recalculate these costs. Furthermore, Defense may have reimbursed costs that (1) were not incremental, (2) were not based on actual activity, or (3) were potentially duplicative. GAO also found that additional oversight controls were needed. For example, there is no guidance for Defense to verify currency conversion rates used by Pakistan, which if performed would enhance Defense's ability to monitor for potential overbillings. Defense's guidance does not specifically task ODRP with attempting to verify Pakistani military support and expenses, despite recognition by Defense officials that such verification is best performed by U.S. officials in Pakistan, who have access to Pakistani officials and information. As such, ODRP did not try to verify Pakistan CSF claims from January 2004 through August 2006. Beginning in September 2006, without any formal guidance or directive to do so from U.S. Central Command or the Defense Comptroller, ODRP began an effort to validate Pakistani military support and expenses. This increased verification effort on the part of ODRP contributed to an increase in the amount of Pakistani government CSF claims disallowed and deferred. Prior to ODRP's increased verification efforts, the average percentage of Pakistani claims disallowed or deferred for January 2004 through August 2006 was a little over 2 percent. In comparison, the average percentage of Pakistani claims disallowed or deferred for September 2006 through February 2007 was 6 percent and for the most recent claims (March 2007 through June 2007) processed in February 2008, was approximately 22 percent. However, ODRP's continued oversight activity is not assured, as Defense had not developed formal guidance delineating how and to what degree ODRP should attempt to verify Pakistani claims for reimbursement. GAO recognizes that Defense may not be able to fully verify every Pakistani claim without the ability to access Pakistani records or do onsite monitoring. However, such ability would enhance CSF oversight.
