College & Career Readiness
Simply put, "college and career readiness" refers to the content
knowledge and skills high school graduates must possess including, but
not limited to, reading, writing communications, teamwork, critical
thinking and problem solving – to be successful in any and all future
endeavors. Of course, readiness for college and careers depends on more
than English and mathematics knowledge; to be successful after high school,
all graduates must possess the knowledge, habits and skills that can only
come from a rigorous, rich and well-rounded high school curriculum.

The Cheesecake Factory Gets Ready for 2013
Eric is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ: CAKE) looks like a restaurant that's prepared for an unknown economic climate next year. Earnings growth strongly outpacing revenue growth suggests a major focus on cost reduction and efficiency. A recent dividend introduction shows that the restaurant expects to sustain its income improvements. The Cheesecake Factory also has some expansion plans that show promise. Four factors show why an investment in The Cheesecake Factory could pay off.
Insider Buy
Forbes contributor DividendChannel noted that Director Herbert Simon bought 25,000 shares of the company at $32.82 each back in August. The Cheesecake Factory's insider ownership of 6.77% surpasses Darden Restaurants's (NYSE: DRI) 0.68% insider ownership, although DineEquity (NYSE: DIN) has higher insider ownership at 16.03%. Insiders at The Cheesecake Factory might have noticed that this restaurant already demonstrated effective cost controls this year.
Efficiency Gains
The Cheesecake Factory's third quarter 2012 financial results highlight the chain's increased efficiency. Cost of sales during the first three quarters of 2012 shrank to 24.6% of revenue, after this category made up 25.3% of revenue during the period in 2011. The Cheesecake Factory managed to reduce costs during a year when other restaurants paid higher prices for food because of the severe drought. Labor costs also dipped slightly during the period, from 32.5% to 32.3% of revenue. As a result, The Cheesecake Factory's net income increased from $66 million for the first three quarters of 2011 to $76 million for the first three quarters of 2012.
The Cheesecake Factory definitely looks more profitable now, after reporting 32% higher income for the quarter along with 5.4% revenue growth. DineEquity also looks like it has become more efficient, with 18.2% weaker revenue and 266.6% higher income last quarter, although The Cheesecake Factory looks a lot better on the top line. Darden Restaurants doesn't look like it achieved major efficiency gains recently, with 4.8% higher revenue last quarter and a 3.9% earnings gain. The Cheesecake Factory's income growth occurred even while the restaurant continued to invest in new concepts.
Restaurant Concepts
The Cheesecake Factory actually introduced two additional concepts, Grand Lux Cafe and RockSugar PanAsian Kitchen. The company built more Grand Lux Cafe restaurants so far, 14 in total, but these restaurants didn't perform as well as the regular Cheesecake Factory restaurants during the last quarter. While Cheesecake Factory restaurants racked up a 2.9% comparable store sales gain, the Grand Lux Cafes reported 2% weaker results.
There's only one RockSugar PanAsian Kitchen at the moment, so this restaurant probably won't have a big impact by itself on a company that runs 177 restaurants. A recent decision by Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) shows why The Cheesecake Factory's shareholders should still watch RockSugar PanAsian Kitchen. L. Wayne Hicks, at Denver Business Journal, reported that after building its first ShopHouse Asian restaurant in the Washington DC area last year, Chipotle will now build a second ShopHouse in the DC area and another ShopHouse in Santa Monica. Expansion prospects for ShopHouse could suggest opportunity for RockSugar PanAsian Kitchen, and with The Cheesecake Factory's relatively low current store count, a few more RockSugar PanAsian Kitchen restaurants could make a difference.
The Cheesecake Factory introduced a 12 cent quarterly dividend in the second quarter of 2012, so calculating the restaurant's expected yield and payout requires some extrapolation. If the company maintains this rate, its annual dividend would reach 48 cents. At $33.42 a share, a forward P/E of 15.54 implies annual earnings of $2.15, which produces an expected payout ratio of 22 percent and a forward yield of 1.4%.
Higher yields are available in the restaurant business, as Darden Restaurants has a 4.3% forward yield. DineEquity stopped paying dividends, but Yahoo! Finance lists a 3.9% five year average yield for the company, so this restaurant might also offer a high yield if it brought its dividend back. Lisa Baertlein at Reuters reported that DineEquity mentioned debt levels as the reason for its 2008 dividend cut, although the recession also hit restaurants very hard at the time. Nevertheless, the Cheesecake Factory has lots of room to raise its dividend right now, and additional efficiency improvements could free up even more cash for dividends.
An insider buy doesn't make the case by itself, but it definitely suggests confidence in the company. The Cheesecake Factory's recent results also help make the case, since both expansion bills and supply chain costs could have placed pressure on the restaurant's margins. Concept restaurants don't look as promising in the short term, although they do demonstrate some flexibility. The dividend announcement also shows that The Cheesecake Factory's managers are confident about its future performance. The factors that helped The Cheesecake Factory achieve better earnings last quarter could keep this restaurant on track to deliver next year as well.

It was a magnificent success for the very young (average age 25) Black Stars over very tall (average height 187 cm) Serbia as they showed the world what they can accomplish, even without Michael Essien. A great game, high intensity and more chances than the result even shows. But then again, any team that has defense general Nemanja Vidic in their team should never be ruled out.
But before this game even kicked off, Group B's last game was played. Algeria's goalie, Faouzi Chaouchi fumbled in a shot from Slovenia's Robert Koren. Boom. Game over for the Desert Foxes who were hoping for a draw after already being down to ten men, as an over-excited Abdelkader Gheezzal managed to get sent off after only 14 minutes on the pitch. Think both USA and England had hoped for a tie there too. Group B: wide open.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. The German machine did as they always do in the opening game and had fairly little trouble clinching their win over the Socceroos of Australia. The red card on Tim Cahill felt a bit too harsh though, no? Who knows what could have happened if they had scored their first attempt after only a few minutes and remained a whole eleven players? Yes, who knows…if only…gotta love football.
So what does this mean for Group C? Well, Serbia's next game is against a very well oiled German machine, and Ghana will face Australia without their biggest star (ok, maybe Kewell, but we didn't see you today buddy). Perhaps the highly underestimated Black Stars will surprise yet again. Only football will tell.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Spokane County Commissioners announced a plan for a new tax on the ballot this fall. They said it will help pay to clear the land around Fairchild Air Force Base and keep the base open.
The rate would come out to $13 a year for a home worth $200,000 and would run for 9 years.
The plan would be to buy the land near the base made up of 7 mobile home parks. Groups like Catholic Charities are working to move these residents to new homes.
"We wanted to build some housing first and then come in and do the other side but we appreciate what the commissioners have done," said Catholic Charities Spokesperson, Tobby Hatley.
The County says it would work with the charities to make sure everyone finds a new place to live. They say it's important to move these people to get them out of an area so close to where planes lands.
"It's also a matter of public safety because they are in potential crash zone," said Spokane County Communications Manager, Martha Lou Wheatley-Billeter.
The move will help Fairchild look more appealing to the defense department when it comes to future contracts. The county said id will take 2 to 3 years to complete the project and leaders had no other choice but to propose the tax.
Voters will decide if they support this plan in the next general election November 5.

Birch Bay group raises money to spay or neuter feral cats
A group of Birch Bay residents concerned about stray cats will hold a yard and bake sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 21 to raise money to help spay and neuter Birch Bay cats.
The Alternative Humane Society in Bellingham has donated 10 spaying or neutering vouchers, which will be used at the Blaine Animal Hospital, group founder Elizabeth Flannery said.
"There are a lot of strays in trailer parks that we end up taking
care of and finding homes for, so we're going to get them fixed," she
In addition, local artist Tina Kunst will donate fuzzy headband cat ears and provide face painting for children by donation and Birch Bay photographer Kevin Ball will offer photos for sale.
Flannery, a resident of
Jacob's Landing on Birch
Bay Drive, said she and several other condominium owners
started the group when they received a notice from the
property management company requiring all cats to be on
leashes, or face being removed from the property.
Flannery said some residents are concerned their cats may be sent to the Humane Society if mistaken for a stray cat and that many of the neighboring residents have not yet been made aware of the proposed rule enforcement.
Rosemary Black, owner of Vacationville, the company that manages the property, said they had recently stepped up enforcement of the rule because some residents had complained about cats urinating in their flowerbeds or having fleas. She said concerns about some residents' pets being taken to the pound are unfounded.
look at the animal's tags, we'll contact
the owner, we might even keep the pet overnight until
we can contact the owner," she said. "We're
just trying to find out where some of these animals belong."
Black said Vacationville will notify the neighboring residents of the increased enforcement if they are instructed by the board of directors of Jacob's Landing.
In the meantime, Flannery said group has established a "kitty bail bond" for those residents who may not be able to afford to bail their pets out of the pound. Donations may be made to a bank account at the Birch Bay branch of The Bank of the Pacific under the name "Birch Bay Cats," she said. To donate items for the yard sale, call 371-7261.

Food Fraud: Microwave Popcorn
on August 21, 2012 in Healthy Alternatives 1 Comment
The word "snack" can be a little misleading on microwave popcorn. One popular brand packs 9 grams of bad fat, including 6 grams of trans fat, into each "snack size" bag. Some "snack bags" are labeled as more than one serving as well. It is easy to assume that one bag is a single person snack.
Food Fix: Compare nutrition labels and get a lower-fat popcorn that has no trans fat at all. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or low-salt spice blends for added flavor without a lot of fat.*See other posts about Food Fraud here to find other dishes that are fooling you

The two nights the band played at the G-Mex in Manchester marked a distinct change in the size of venues the Mondays could sell out. Even Shaun himself couldnt beleive the audacity of the promoters in attempting to sell tickets for this huge venue. He needn't have worried, the first night sold out so quickly they had to put a second night on due to phenomenal demand! They also played Wembley stadium just a few days after the G-Mex gigs, on April 7th.
It was a great setlist, one that spanned the bands whole career up to that point with tracks from Squirrel and G-Man, Bummed, Madchester Rave On EP, and the yet to be released Pills N Thrills album:
Set list: Rave On, Do It Better, Tart Tart, Step On, Performance, Hallelujjah, Clap Your Hands, Kuff Dam, Lazyitis, 24 Hour Party People, Mad Cyril, Gods Cop, Wrote For Luck.
You will notice the gig included the new tune Step On where Shaun had to read the lyrics from a sheet of paper! Quality.
Above is a ticket for the March 24th date and below you can see just some of the press adverts from the time leading up to the gigs. The band pulled both dates off in style, going down a storm and showing the other bands around at the time what a gig should be like, the atmosphere was incredible!
The historic G-Mex gigs were immortalised in film and the full concert from the March 25th date was released on video. You can see this below as well as the official programme for the gigs, done by Central Station Design…
Below you can see the Access All Area pass that the band members had for the event and also the VIP Bar admission card:
And finally, one of the many reviews that appeared in the various music press after the event, all noting what a memorable performance it was and predicting even bigger things for the band.
There was two different coloured official t-shirts for the gig, available in long sleeve too I think? If anyone can confirm that or even send us pics then please let us know, thanks.

text: Nutrition is NOT black and white. There is no right or wrong way. One of the most significant blocks to change is thinking black and white. The world is gray and so is fat loss and nutrition. This is why looking for definitive food lists, exact recipes and in depth meal plans are not going to serve you long term. This is equivalent to being given a fish versus learning to fish except in this case, you are given someone else favorite type of fish, versus learning to find catch and discover your own favorite fish. You might think meals plans and food lists and recipes are a short cut, but in the end you still must find what works for you. You have a choice, jump around from diet to diet and meal plan to meal plan, or learn to design one for yourself. Stop playing the weight loss game. — Metabolic Effect

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Pick the University of Louisville player that you want handling the basketball when it's winning time. There is no debate. That guy is Peyton Siva.
Siva is the guy least likely to do something silly. He's the one who has erased most of the errors he's made over his first three seasons. He's the guy unafraid to make a play. Siva is the senior. He gets the ball.
Siva was not afraid to make a play in the final 30 seconds against Syracuse Saturday. But he did something silly. He tried to throw a cross-court pass (strike one) to Wayne Blackshear over a defender who is six inches taller (strike two) when there were still 10 seconds on the shot clock (strike three).
The next thing you knew there was a new Number One team in the country, and Cardinal fans like Sen. Mitch McConnell were walking out of the KFC Yum! Center shaking their heads and saying, "Tough loss."
Michael Carter-Williams, the Syracuse player who is 6 feet 6, intercepted Siva's pass and took off like Terrell Floyd for the end zone. He dunked his prize to put Syracuse ahead, 69-68.
Louisville did not score again – and they had a pair of chances. The Cards lost, 70-68, leaving Syracuse atop the Big East with a 5-0 record.
"Once I passed it, I wished I could have gotten it back," Siva said. "I saw Wayne out of the corner of my eye when I came off the screen. I should have made the correct pass and should have held on to it a little longer, try to pivot and find somebody else or keep my dribble alive."
No excuses, Siva said. None.
"You've got to learn from it," Siva said. "Try to get better from it. Try not to make the same mistake again."
Pick the Cardinal player you want handling a blunder of that significance. There is no debate. That guy is Siva.
He's the guy least likely to let the play leave a bruise that will linger. He will accept responsibility and fix what went wrong. He won't be afraid to try to make the next play. Remember the way he played last March?
"If I could put Peyton in that situation again, I would, and I'd bet that he would be successful," U of L forward Luke Hancock said. "He's the best point guard in the country. I don't think this is going to hurt him or anything like that."
That play, the fundamentally flawed pass by Siva, punctuated by the steal and dunk by Carter-Williams, will remain the Sports Center highlight from this game, which left the Cards (16-2) with their first defeat in five Big East games. It is the first clip that runs on the ESPN.com video player. On Sports Center they highlighted Siva's matchup with Carter-Williams. It's the jarring memory everybody will debate until Louisville plays at Villanova Tuesday.
But one possession did not cost Louisville the top ranking. Eleven possessions did.
With less than eight minutes to play, Russ Smith stripped Carter-Williams (his eighth turnover), rushed downcourt and dunked. Louisville led, 62-57. You wondered if the Orange were about to crack.
This is what Louisville generated from its final 11 possessions – not much.
One basket. Four free throws.
"We were rattled," U of L forward Chane Behanan said. "We weren't playing like we play. We didn't keep our composure. We've been through a lot of games like that through the last year. We should have kept our composure."
Evidence of the lack of composure: The Cards missed nine shots. They missed three free throws. They lost the ball three times, including the game's final play when Gorgui Dieng bobbled a pass from Siva in the lane, a play that should have resulted in a layup or two free throws.
It was the final bungled play in a half that saw the Cards miss 22 of 31 shots (29 percent) and five of 14 free throws (64 percent). That is not the way you beat Syracuse.
The 2013 offense down the stretch looked like the 2012 offense. It was that kind of day for Siva and Dieng. Siva missed eight of nine field-goal attempts. Dieng made one of five. The Cards got seven points from two guys that average a combined 21.
"At first, I was really down about it," Siva said. "It's a game. It cost us the Number One ranking. But my teammates came up to me and told me to keep my head up.
"It's over. It's behind us. Bygones be bygones. Let's focus on Villanova. We can make another run. We won 11 straight before. Why not do it again?"

Companies Help In War On Weeds
At a time when profit margins are often small, cotton producers in the Mid-South and Southeast are receiving help from chemical and seed companies in their fight against resistant pigweed.
As unlikely as it might seem in today's competitive marketplace, companies are cooperating with each other to make sure producers receive rebates to help cut costs in weed control.
North Carolina weed scientist Alan York, who has been at the forefront in helping identify this troublesome weed in the last five years, says this approach benefits all parties.
"It gives me a good feeling when I see several companies step forward to help the producer," he says. "In my opinion, the industry is working together fairly well on this, and it's good to see incentives coming along to help the farmer."
York has seen numerous examples of companies putting aside their competitiveness to offer rebates to farmers.
Important Incentive Program
For example, in Monsanto's Performance Plus program, producers can receive as much as $20 per acre in refunds for using residual herbicides.
The program will be offered on all Genuity Roundup Ready Flex acres throughout the Delta and Southeast. In an effort to allow farmers to build the best approach for their fields, a broad choice of herbicides is offered in the rebate program.
The more residual herbicides that are used, the higher the refund. The program herbicides offered include Valor, Reflex, Cotoran, Cotton Pro, Caparol, Diuron 4L, Warrant, Dual Magnum and Gramoxone Inteon.
York says such a program becomes a win-win for all parties because it is obvious that a problem such as resistant pigweed affects chemical and seed companies as well as the farmer.
"It's always beneficial when the industry takes the lead in helping the producer defray some of his costs in controlling something like pigweed," he says. "But it also is good that everyone can be reminded that we have a problem that is affecting everyone, and I know the farmer appreciates the help he's getting on something like this."
Winning The Battle?
York, for one, believes farmers have already taken important first steps toward dealing with weed resistance by embracing the use of residual herbicides and other techniques in an effort to break the cycle. And, when those management strategies are emphasized in conjunction with a successful rebate program, the message is even more effective.
"If you talk to me in 10 years, I can give you a better answer on how much progress we're making," says York. "But we need to wake up and attack this before it really bites us. We just need to pay attention to what we're actually doing."
Dave Rhylander, southern marketing manager for Deltapine/Monsanto, says it was a case of doing the right thing for farmers and putting aside commercial considerations.
"It's a case of Monsanto stepping up because this is such an important issue for cotton farmers," he says. "There are nine products in this residual herbicide program, and most of them are from other companies. We just thought it was the right thing to do."

RE: SEO Pricing: How Much Should You Pay For SEO Services?
So a good friend, Hugo Guzman, wrote a really great piece today "How to figure out how much you should pay for SEO services?" I consider Hugo to be wise, wily, and trusted in all things SEO and SEM. That is to say, you can trust his advice because it will rarely ever lead you astray.
The same is true of his last post. With a few exceptions. Per estimated possible achieved conversions is a smart, efficient, and fair model for both sides. Chances are, with this model, an agency or individual would earn more than if they simply estimated hours and deliverables.
The Exceptions
Exception One: Client Knowledge
This exception is the client. It's the biggest exception and wild card of all. While Hugo states in the post that a client would earn $100 profit from a single widget, we're under the assumption the client produced that number for them. Here's the problem with that single assumption: most clients have no idea what their profit from a web lead is. I know, it's hard to believe. And you probably think I'm full of crap. Experience has taught me that only a small percentage know (could be bothered after nearly a decade or more of search marketing) to find out what their margins are from web leads.
What they do know is how much that widget/product costs to produce. What they do know is the margins they make selling that widget/product at retail price. Hence the term "loss leader". This, however, is not the same as CPA (cost per acquisition). If the $100 they stated is the margin based on the cost/retail equation, then this is simply incorrect. Marketing has a cost, and all too often, clients and companies do not include this as part of the CPA equation.
Exception Two: What is a True Conversion?
For this, I have to step out of the B2C/B2B e-commerce world where conversions are tracked and measured online. If that's all of your clients, then consider yourself fortunate to have that data at your fingertips. If you're like most of us, you deal in conversions through contact forms, sign-ups, and requests for quote. SEOs and SEMs do and should consider this a legitimate conversion, but to your client it isn't. Not included in the CPA equation to achieve true ROI from website "conversion"
The conversion for your client is the physical sale/contract farther down the funnel. As SEOs we get clients 80% of the way to a sale; deliver targeted, interested, and consumer-ready leads to their doorstep. All the client has to do is knock that last 20% out of the park. Nonetheless, that last 20% isn't even revenue yet. It's still accumulating costs until it closes the full 100%.
Exception Three: Corporate Sales Channel Organization
This is beyond your control. I understand that and deal with it daily; I feel your pain. And yet, most companies sales channels are an absolute mess. Most have no idea what's up or down, if it's this or that. Here's the problem: without accurately tracking the leads life-cycle, the client honing their own sales channel into an efficient machine, there is no possibility of true ROI to ever be attained. And, if you're honest with yourself a moment, you know that your clients aren't the only ones that suffer from this. Your company does too.
Exception Four: Market Fickleness
Even though Hugo was taking an entire year's worth of data, accounting for seasonality, it does not account for market fickleness. 2008 being a perfect example. Taking all of 2007's data would have produced a number that would have been unachievable in 2008 and subsequent two years due to a complete global economic meltdown. In this case, how does the pay-per-performance model shield the client?
Why Most Still Use Hours/Deliverables Method
If nothing else, the three exceptions above should sufficiently cover why many might still want to use the "traditional" method for SEO pricing. Let's be honest, many SEOs are either clueless about different pricing models, or simply follow steadfast tradition because "that's the way it's always been done".
Hugo did bring up a very good point that by using pay-per-performance model (of sorts), you can actively price-out and have to turn away potential clients. Additionally, using the per-per-performance model, seems to be geared to fairness and reward for both participants, but one must remember the consumers and markets are volatile and never a "sure thing".
With a hours/deliverables model, there is a very likely possibility someone (you or the client) will get the sharp end of the stick. Either it takes you more hours than estimated to deliver what was promised (LOSS | Client: Gain) or it takes you less time to accomplish the work (GAIN | Client: Loss). Nonetheless, pricing out a client still has roughly chance depending on hourly service rates. Secondly, hours/deliverables model is rarely affected by market/consumers, only in the most dire of times. And, even then, corporations believe that search marketing is a right bit cheaper than a traditional campaign.
Finally, clients are accustomed to a hours/deliverables method. New systems are puzzling and raise suspicion, even properly demonstrated and explained. You have to earn trust right from the get-go.

Facebook's remarkable about-face
After a spectacular conference call, it looks like the social network has made a quick turnaround on mobile advertising.
Who in heck would have thought Facebook (FB) could have saved this market? It was a tall order after Tuesday's shellacking, but this company, with the most disgraced major initial public offering I can ever recall, reported a truly tremendous quarter Tuesday night. Then management followed it up with the best conference call of the season.
Here's a company that, by its own admission, hadn't done much at all on mobile up until the beginning of the year. In fact the company -- through CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who did an amazing job -- stated, point-blank, "We hadn't started trying yet" at the start of the year.
But now 14% of the business is mobile advertising, and it could double fairly easily amid the roll-out of Instagram, the acquisition of which just closed.
You know what stood out on this call compared with the previous one? Raison d'etre -- the rationale for believing that these guys are true capitalists who aren't just trying to build a social network but are building a socially based advertising network. This is a company that, after having initially been blindsided by the mobile revolution, is now ahead of it.
In fact, the company caught up so quickly that now you have to question the shorting ahead of the November lockup to hedge any gains -- whether that shorting might be overdone and whether the actual deal could come in above where the stock is today. That may seem tough to achieve, but when you listen to the call, you certainly want in to the stock.
What was so compelling? How about Zuckerberg's saying users and major advertisers like Facebook's mobile application more than desktop because it is easier to reach people and there is more engagement by customers on mobile? Unlike in the last call, Zuckerberg now has a ton of data to verify that bold claim, including the statistic that 40% of users are likely to use Facebook on the desktop, while 70% use it on mobile.
Why wasn't this obvious before? Because it wasn't happening. I got the sense, from the mea culpa on the call, that Facebook's switch to supporting the Apple (AAPL) operating system has hastened the move greatly. I believe it's what has led to a real bonanza that is intriguing everyone from Procter & Gamble (PG) and Wal-Mart (WMT) to Amazon (AMZN) and Capitol One (COF). Maybe the terrific quarter of that last name could be pinned, in part, to the Facebook campaign.
How strong a case was there made for mobile on the call? It would not surprise me to see General Motors (GM) back on Facebook after that slap in the face the week of the IPO -- that is, if Facebook will let it. I could see how Facebook won't have to, as the company is now reaching three times the targeted audience of the Super Bowl every single day. Facebook says 70% of advertisers are reporting a tripling of their return on investment for their ads, another bold claim that I think Facebook can back up pretty easily. After all, the company told a story of tremendous gains for Samsung's phone through Facebook advertising as 85% of people who saw the ads for Samsung were more likely to buy a phone than not.
As good as the Apple mobile app can be, I can't imagine how strong the Android presentation will be, and that's just now being rolled out. It's just going their way.
Finally, we got a nail in the coffin that Zynga (ZNGA) declines can hurt the future. The company made clear that it was a Zynga problem, not a gaming problem, and that gaming revenue is doing just fine, thank you.
It was a remarkable call. The move in Facebook's stock is justified. The only thing that surprised me was that no analysts said congratulations. I guess they were as stunned as I was about how quickly Facebook's fortunes have turned and that the dream became a reality after one good quarter.

i don't click on FB ads, but have wondered if i should advertize my own product on FB. so they NEARLY had me consider paying to post an ad.
THEN i realized that I AM ALREADY ON FB and don't need to pay to advertize. so i simply drop my own ads into my regular FB page. and it works.
i do find from others i know online that many people are actually clicking the ads. so FB is working
Time to crash the Dollar and arrest the first ones to holler. Time to go get a REAL job, Jim.
Just in time for the insiders to start selling again in mid November. What a manipulated scam this stock is. Looks like it's time for me to think about getting back into those Put options with a $20 strike. That worked out pretty good for me the last time I bought them when the stock was trading at $26. Don't think you're going to front fun me on it this time Mr. Hedge Fund. I already did it.
The S&P 500 is up 12.87% year to date.If you listen to those negative right wingers
you`d think the market was down 80%.They say anything to try to make Obama
look bad.That Dobbs on Fox used to be a middle of the road guy.Now that he`s on Fox all he does is run down Obama.I`ve lost all respect for him.
Jim don't do a flip flop like Romney. You said FB was going to $15 because it's a fad which will be replaced over time like myspace, sr friend, your pet, and all the other fads websites. They can be copied.
Which Romney will we see today on tv, the real one or the flip flopper ?????

It seems Top Gear the magazine and Top Gear the TV show have split their Car of the Year decisions. The magazine chose the the Dodge Challenger as its COTY (CORRECTION:Muscle Car of the Year), while the Clarkson, Hammond and May are sticking by the Caterham Superlight R500 . The two cars are alike in that they are both retro fun, but accomplish it in two very different ways.
The Challenger is brute fun (you'll see in our upcoming review.) Shortcomings that arise from a muscle car built on a full-size car chassis are made up for with a huge engine and badass personality.
The Caterham is the never-say-die spirit of the Lotus 7. Where the Challenger uses a big Hemi V8 to get its speed, the Superlight R500 stays true to its name and uses its svelte 1100 lbs weight (500kg) to give it speed. It also helps that its 2.0-liter Ford-sourced engine is rated at 263 hp. 0 to 60 times are in the sub-three second range.

Jason O'Rourke is a landscape & wildlife photographer from Hawaii. He is a Nikon fan and is such a purist when it comes to his nature photographs that he doesn't want any people in his pictures. Jason successfully sells his work through galleries all over Hawaii and to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Join his network to see his latest shoots and keep up-to-date on his reviews and photo trips.
1. In what type of photography do you specialize?
Landscape and wildlife.
2. What do you love most about your job?
The ability to be outside, enjoying the natural beauty of Hawaii and interacting with wildlife.
3. How would you describe your style?
Natural: I print what comes out of the camera, so I look for clean, wide open spaces or those decisive moments in wildlife, and don't edit the results.
4. What advice would you give to a novice photo enthusiast?
Always keep a camera nearby because you never know when you'll see that moment you want to capture. The most important piece of equipment a photographer has is the eye.
5. When you don't have a camera in hand, what do you like to do?
Write, play soccer, ski, kayak, hike
6. What first got you interested in photography?
I think I got my first camera when I was four or five, and I used to photograph the frogs, toads and turtles I'd catch in the backyard. So... not much has changed?
7. Are there other photographers you look up to?
Ansel Adams is probably the most obvious one, but I am constantly checking out new photographers as I find them.
8. What is your favorite camera accessory/product?
My Case Logic sling bag, of course. I cannot believe how much easier it has made carrying my camera with me everywhere, and always having all the right gear with me.
9. What/who inspires you?
I think my parents inspired me to believe that I could follow my dreams wherever they took me, and photographing Hawaii's wildlife and amazing scenic landscapes has been a pretty good spot to land!

Thomas Rhett didn't have to look very far for a mentor to help him write his first songs. His dad is '90s country star-turned-hit-songwriter Rhett Akins .
Thomas tells the Erie Times-News , "Probably the first 20, 30 songs I wrote were with my dad. That was just a starting ground for me."
Thomas went on to write with other songwriters in Nashville and had a hand in writing hits for Florida Georgia Line and Lee Brice. Even so, Thomas' first #1 hit as an artist, "It Goes Like This," was a co-write with his dad.
"To share my first number-one as an artist with my dad was one of the coolest things in the world," Thomas says.
Of note, Thomas co-wrote his latest hit, "Get Me Some of That," with rising country star Cole Swindell and guitarist Michael Carter .

Even as a kid, I recognized that putting elephants and lions in cages and whipping them to go through hoops wasn't something I wanted to support. I barely attend zoos, but I do think there is some redeeming value in zoos. Animals don't belong in show-biz though.

Labor force participation of veterans of World War II, Korean War, or Vietnam era
April 22, 2008
In 2007, there were about 12 million veterans who had served during World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam era. Nearly all of these veterans were at least 55 years old, and one-half were at least 65 years old. About 97 percent of these veterans were men.
Male veterans of these wartime periods (World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era) had lower labor force participation rates than male nonveterans in the same age categories. The unemployment rates of these veterans and nonveterans were about the same, however.
Overall, about 40 percent of male veterans of these earlier wartime periods were in the labor force in 2007, and their unemployment rate was 3.4 percent.
The Current Population Survey is the source of these data. To learn more, see "Employment Situation of Veterans: 2007," (PDF) (HTML) USDL 08-0456.

Insiders Snapped up These Stocks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's common for company insiders to talk up their company's stock, but it's less common for them to actually buy. This is because, in addition to the fact that rosy predictions are sometimes less than honest, by buying more stock an insider is increasing exposure to company-specific events rather than diversifying wealth, as is predicted by economic theory.
As a result, actual purchases should signal a particularly confident insider rather than one who is casually buying the stock, and it turns out that stocks bought by insiders do slightly outperform read our analysis of studies on insider trading). Of course it's impossible to copy every insider purchase, but we like to take at least a brief look at significant buys so that investors can do more research on stocks that seem appealing. Here are five stocks insiders have bought recently:
Shona Brown, a member of PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP) Board of Directors, bought 1,000 shares of stock at an average price of $75.33. The global beverage and snack company reported high earnings growth in the fourth quarter of 2012 versus a year earlier, but sales were actually down slightly, and the current trailing earnings multiple looks a bit high at 20. We would want to see revenue growth before considering a purchase. Renaissance Technologies, whose success since inception has made founder Jim Simons a multi-billionaire, bought 2.6 million shares of Pepsi last quarter (see more stock picks from Renaissance Technologies).
Two insiders bought shares of The Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ: CAKE), generally between $34 and $35 per share. Consensus insider purchases are particularly likely, though not certain, to be bullish signals (learn more about consensus insider purchases). While earnings per share were up 9% in Q4 from levels in the fourth quarter of 2011, this was primarily due to buybacks, with revenue and net income rising only 2-3%. Cheesecake Factory also trades at 20 times trailing earnings, and while it's good that the company is returning cash to shareholders, we would be skeptical of this valuation as well.
Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) has also had a Board member buy shares: 20,000 of them at prices of around $33 and $34. The $68 billion market cap biotechnology company experienced double-digit growth rates on both top and bottom lines in its most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year. Since the beginning of March 2012, the stock price has been consistently rising and has nearly doubled. This has brought its earnings multiples above those of similar companies, though Gilead's growth rates have also been higher than its peers, and the gap does narrow considerably when we look at forward estimates.
A member of Terex Corporation's (NYSE: TEX) Board of Directors added over 3,500 shares in late February at an average price of $33.10. Terex provides work platforms (including cranes) and construction machinery. As a result the stock price is very sensitive to movements in broader market indices, and its beta is 3.6. Terex is another growth story, sales growth has been strong, and earnings per share came in at 93 cents for 2012 after having been negative only two years earlier. The company did miss the Street's earnings expectations in the fourth quarter of the year, and the current price does depend on continued earnings growth.
Richard Perlman, executive chairman of Examworks Group (NYSE: EXAM), a $520 million market cap company that investigates insurance claims, purchased more than 14,000 shares of the company's stock in early March through his Roth IRA. When we looked at the company we noticed that revenue growth rates have been slowing down and, until the most recent quarterly report, net losses had not been showing much of an improvement. Examworks is a popular short target, with 15% of the outstanding shares held short despite a significant cash hoard.

General Motors Corp., Detroit, plans to increase prices on most 2008 model-year vehicles in an attempt to partially recover higher steel and commodity costs.
The price increases average 1.5 percent, with most falling in a range of $100 to $500 per vehicle depending on model, although the Cadillac XLS luxury sports coupe will go up by $1,500. The increases went into effect with vehicles invoiced to dealers Wednesday.
