Secret's Mean Stinks Program Reveals Survey Statistics on Bullying to Bring Awareness to the Epidemic and Benefit PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center
New York, NY — July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In their ongoing commitment to support fearless women, Secret Deodorant has created the Mean Stinks program; a supportive Facebook community that gives young women the courage to stand up to a stinky behavior – bullying. To help this cause, Secret is partnering with relatable role models—Amber Riley, best known as Mercedes on the hit FOX show Glee, and Rachel Simmons, nationally renowned relationship expert—to start a movement of "nice." Together they are giving young women the strength to face challenges associated with bullying and mean behavior. Secret is also partnering with PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center by donating a portion of proceeds from select Secret Clinical Strength purchases to it's prevention efforts.**
"I am excited to be a part of Secret's Mean Stinks program," says Amber Riley. "I know the challenges that young women face, mean behavior being one of them, and I want to stand strong against bullying by encouraging women to be nice and elicit positive change."
To spread the word, Amber will participate in Facebook Q&A sessions on the Mean Stinks page as well as appear in print advertising that helps support donations to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center.
Rachel Simmons, a best-selling author and expert on the social issues facing young women is also jumping in to help. Rachel devotes her time to working with parents, educators and school leaders to help communities end bullying. Rachel and Secret have created an experience on Facebook that empowers young women by providing tools for them to face the difficulties and drama of bullying.
Secret Proves "Mean Stinks"
To understand the depth of this epidemic, Secret commissioned a survey* of 1,000 young women, ages 16-21 to prove the proliferation of bullying extends beyond grade school and has intensified with the explosion of cyberbullying. Survey findings underscore that 48% of college-age students have experienced or witnessed bullying or mean behavior at college or in the work environment.
Secret's bullying survey with Russell Research revealed:
- 99% agree that being bullied stinks
- 94% of young women agree social media makes it easier for girls to bully or torment one another
- 73% felt angry and 64% have felt frustrated after witnessing someone being bullied
- 96% are personally concerned about seeing a person being bullied and no one doing anything to help
- 87% agree that social media sites have the power to be used positively in the fight against bullying
"Secret is a brand built to help women be more fearless, always taking a stand against what stinks. Deodorants fight odor and Secret Mean Stinks program fights bullying, " says Kevin Hochman, Marketing Director, Secret Brand, P&G Beauty. "Our goal is to empower young women to rise above bullying and to help we have created tools like our Mean Stinks Facebook community."
To help Secret stand up to bullying, go to www.facebook.com/MeanStinks and learn how your purchase of Secret Clinical Strength can benefit PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center** or show your support by purchasing a Mean Stink's t-shirt at the eStore.
Secret is also launching an iAd for the Mean Stinks program on Apple's mobile advertising network and will donate $1.00 to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center for every user who saves a special wallpaper to their iPhone and iPod touch when they see the ad in their favorite apps.
* Findings for the total sample are projectable to the universe of online females between the ages of 16-21. At a 95 percent confidence level, a margin of sample error of +/- 3.1 percent applies to the sample.
**Request a coupon at Facebook.com/MeanStinks, and for every Secret Clinical Strength coupon redeemed, Secret will donate $1 to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center.

Microsoft worked with Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), the Federal Bureau of Investigation and technology industry leaders like A10 Networks, to take down the rampant Sirefef botnet. Also known as ZeroAccess, the botnet has infected nearly 2 million computers all over the world and cost online advertisers upwards of $2.7 million each month.
According to Microsoft, ZeroAccess targets all major search engines and browsers, including Google, Bing and Yahoo. Most of the infected machines are in the U.S. and Western Europe. Microsoft is comparing ZeroAccess to the Bamital botnet, which the company and its partners took down in February, in that it is responsible for hijacking search results and directing people to potentially dangerous Web sites that could install malware onto their computer, steal their personal information or fraudulently charge businesses for online advertisement clicks. ZeroAccess also commits click fraud.
Not Completely Dead
"Due to its botnet architecture, ZeroAccess is one of the most robust and durable botnets in operation today, and was built to be resilient to disruption efforts, relying on a peer-to-peer infrastructure that allows cybercriminals to remotely control the botnet from tens of thousands of different computers," Microsoft wrote in a blog post.
Most often, the company said, computers become infected with ZeroAccess as a result of what are known as drive-by-downloads -- cybercriminals create a Web site that downloads malware onto any unprotected computer that happens to visit that site. Microsoft said computers can also become infected through counterfeit and unlicensed software, where criminals disguise ZeroAccess as legitimate software, tricking a person into downloading the ZeroAccess malware onto their computer.
"Because of the sophistication of the threat, Microsoft and its partners do not expect to fully eliminate the ZeroAccess botnet," the company said. "However, we do expect this legal and technical action will significantly disrupt the botnet's operation by disrupting the cybercriminals' business model and forcing them to rebuild their criminal infrastructure, as well as preventing victims' computers from committing the fraudulent schemes."
Cleaning Up Messes
We caught up with Tommy Chin, a technical support engineer at CORE Security, to get his feedback on the operation. He told us Microsoft deserves an A for effort.
"It is not a simple task to take down a decentralized botnet. However, Microsoft's DCU seems to be motivated and their drive to team up with the right law enforcement agencies sounds really promising," Chin said. (continued...)

Ant Rant
Lynn over at Bore Me to Tears (the blog that asks if you're an Ant trying to understand the Internet) posted about whether or not kids should be tested for knowledge and I wrote a comment that threatened to turn into a short novel, so I figured I'd better post here instead. First of all, I don't think the post at Homeschooling Research Notes that Lynn referred to in her post was talking about standardized testing, but just in case, here's a link that pretty much sums up what I think of that. I'm ag'in it, in case you don't want to click on the link.
I've read some of Rob Reich's writings and I'm ag'in what he has to say also, although I agree that he's a thoughtful, even-minded critic of homeschooling and an advocate for children and their right to autonomy. However, how he squares this with his belief that government testing would be a good idea is beyond me. How can kids learn what they want to learn if the government is testing them for what the government thinks they should know?
What happens when kids fail the tests? Knowing the government the way I do (hey, I sleep with a government worker, don't forget), I can't believe failure or low marks won't lead to more government intervention and possibly a recommendation for remedial learning in public school.
As far as Lynn's "gray area" of worrying about kids who are allowed to learn only as much math as they need to balance a checkbook, while I understand her concern and sometimes share it, I have this to say. I'd rather see that than government intervention and I don't agree that it can't be remedied if a kid decides that she wants to be a doctor or scientist. For one thing, by the time the kid is old enough for the kind of math needed for any math-intensive profession, surely said kid would have a clue that they'll need more than multiplication to be a rocket scientist. If they don't, then I question the desire for that kind of profession.
If I remember correctly, Algebra 1 doesn't really start until 4th or 5th grade and can be learned in a matter of weeks. I know this because when I was in Algebra 1, which started in 8th grade back in the 60's, I got a C-, because my teacher was a kind man who didn't want to flunk me even though I failed every test and never really got the basics so I floundered through both semesters. In 9th grade, we had Geometry which made a lot more sense to me, because I could actually see the lines and angles, unlike those mysterious X's and Y's in the Algebra formulas. (Hey, I'm an Earth sign. What can I say?)
Several years later, I realized that failing to learn Algebra still rankled, so I got an Algebra 1 course that consisted of a textbook and workbook and I slogged through it all by myself until I grasped the concepts and could pass the quizzes and tests. I've never used or thought about Algebra since I closed the workbook, but I learned it. If I did it, anyone can. There are adult classes in high schools and community colleges and online lessons for free in almost anything that a person could need to catch up on.
Daughter is another reason I don't think testing is necessary. She chokes on tests. They give her hives. If something is timed, her IQ slips twenty points and she assumes the emotional attributes of a toddler who hasn't napped, but has ingested a 5 lb bag of sugar. She's wicked smart, but we didn't find that out by testing her. I've figured it out from living with her for almost 11 years.
Those of us who have children who learn at home, whether we "teach" them or "help" them with their unschooling or just let them learn whatever they want with no guidance from anyone, know much more about our kids' intelligence, interests, capabilities, drawbacks and weak areas than any test can show. We also probably know from the time the kid is a pre-teen whether or not they'll need math for science or extra emphasis on language arts to express their love for words or art lessons instead of sports.
Testing does what public school does: It separates learning from life. It breaks down learning into neat little categories like math, reading and writing. As if you can. Life is too big for that. It's "everything" as my late son once said when asked what he was learning at home. I think the only way to "test" our children is by observing whether they're happy and engaged and interested in life. If they are, how can they help but learn what they need to know to succeed?

Every time I taste a Heidsieck I am fondly reminded of a special British Airways Business Class flight to London when we, on a lark, booked a last minute trip to London with another couple to celebrate a birthday. They had Heidsieck on board, and we drank every drop.
I recently purchased a bunch of Henriot, Deutz, Gosset and this Hiedsieck to make sure we had all celebrations for the next year or three covered. I'd rather own them and age them than buy per occasion.
The Heidsieck always tastes very old-fashioned to me, and I like that about it. Fruity and giving, with a taste that reminds me of Frangelico--toasted hazelnuts and caramel--on the apple fruit. Complex and harmonious. Quite good.

Sometimes bribery isn't a bad word.

'Happy Eid al-Adha' on a Thanksgiving ad stirs outrage, debate.
Eid al-Adha sounds like a lovely holiday -- a happy occasion full of praise for God, lots of food -- which is shared with the poor -- and gifts for children. An imam interviewed by The Modesto Bee said the four-day Eid al-Adha is the Muslim holiday that most closely resembles Christmas.
- Video: Score a deal on Black Friday
So why is a small blurb wishing "Happy Eid al-Adha" in a Best Buy Thanksgiving ad stirring controversy and debate?
Consumer Reports unveils survey of top holiday shopping turnoffs.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Consumer Reports has unveiled a public education campaign that takes aim at pushy holiday season retail practices. The campaign's centerpiece is a full-page ad in USA Today on Tuesday, Nov. 24, that highlights top holiday shopping annoyances as determined by a nationally representative survey of Americans by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
- Video: Holiday battle for buyers
The list of holiday annoyances that Americans were asked about was generated by readers of The Consumerist, a member of the Consumer Reports family.
The ad takes the form of a "Dear Shopper" letter highlighting pushy holiday season practices and the percentage of Americans who find them annoying:
The supermarket may have some of the best buys of the day.
Julie Parrish, CEO of hotcouponworld.com, has some unusual advice for Black Friday shoppers: Go to the grocery store.
"Not everyone will do it, but my savings at Albertsons and Safeway beats the heck out of the $5 I'm going to save chasing the 4 a.m. sock sale at Fred Meyer," Parrish said.
- Video: Possible pumpkin pie panic
According to Parrish, many stores on Black Friday knock down the price of perishable holiday foods -- like roasts, fresh turkeys, baked goods and produce -- that didn't move out the door before we all sat down to gorge ourselves on Thanksgiving.
J.D. finds inspiration in a children's fable -- and an episode of 'The Biggest Loser.'
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
One reason I got into financial trouble during my early 20s was that I wanted everything right now. I looked at what my parents had, and it didn't occur to me that they'd been working their entire lives to get to that point. I wanted the same level of comfort, and I wanted it today. I wanted what I saw in the magazines and on TV. I wanted to start at the end, not the beginning.
In order to afford that sort of lifestyle, I went into a lot of debt. But even then, I couldn't manage for long. I lived high on the hog for a couple of years, and then found myself back in the real world -- but with lots of extra bills to pay. In an attempt to reach the "finish line" of life sooner, I'd put myself further behind.
Californians aren't the only ones saddled with higher college costs.
A 32% increase in tuition approved by the University of California regents is being met with student protests -- and arrests -- throughout the system.
It's the most stunning development we've yet seen as many states, struggling with sagging revenues, continue to cut funding for higher ed. Consider this: State support per student in the UC system is half what it was in 1990, a university official said.
We can't blame students for being upset, considering what college will cost in the UC system. The Los Angeles Times reports:
The gratuity was mandatory for large parties, but what if the service stinks?
Bizarre story of the week: Two restaurant patrons were arrested on a charge of theft when they refused to pay a $16 mandatory tip that was part of their bill.
College student Leslie Pope told a TV reporter that the service was so bad at the Bethlehem, Pa., establishment that she had to get the table's silverware and napkins and walk to the bar to refill her soda. An hour after the group of eight ordered chicken fingers and other bar grub, the food arrived.
- Bing: Tipping etiquette
The menu says an 18% tip is included in the bill for parties of six or more. The tip on their bill amounted to $16.35 (inexplicably higher than 18%).
After the $73 bill came, the group paid for food, drinks, and tax but refused to pay the tip. After explaining the bad service to the bartender in charge, Pope claimed he took their money and called police. The couple was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car.
The Dough Roller explains why this approach to retirement savings works for him.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
Last week my family had dinner with good friends of ours. After dinner our conversation turned to investing. Our friends told us about a money manager they were going to use to manage a small portion of their investment portfolio. The wife was fed up with the buy-and-hold investment strategy, she told us, and was looking to become more aggressive with their investments. I cringed.
The money manager charges 2% of invested assets and regularly takes short positions (bets against the market). He is also partial to ProShares, a mutual fund that uses leverage to boost returns (and losses!), as if investing weren't risky enough.
Anyway, the wife's basic beef with long-term investing strategies was that the market over the past 10 years had failed to produce positive returns. In her view, the market goes up and down, but in the end, finishes right where it started. One might say the market is "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

SPOKANE, Wash. — The case of Ryan Murphy, the former Shadle Park High School teacher accused of sexual misconduct with students, was transferred to Stevens County judge.
Court officials said Murphy's dad being a judge in Spokane County could have created a conflict of interest.
Ryan Murphy worked as an English teacher and a track coach at the time of the alleged misconduct. Spokane Public School District leaders said that Murphy worked for the district for more than a decade. District leaders allowed Murphy to resign in August of 2012 when the allegations arose.
Court documents showed that a student admitted to having sex with Murphy. The former teacher allegedly began an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old freshman when he was 40-years-old. The pair had sex at Murphy's home and in parking lots, according to investigators.
The alleged victim told investigators that Murphy took her to the MAC and met her along Cliff Drive. She said that their meetings eventually led to sex. Court documents detailed that the two regularly met on Thursdays because Murphy's wife was not home.
The teenager added that they also had sex in Murphy's car at Woodridge Elementary School. She also told detectives that Murphy gave her letters and gifts.

According to a report in NeoGAF, the magazine says that the PC release will be a rather straightforward port of the console original. However, there will be some bonus content to look forward to. Namely, there are two additional bosses: the Guardian of the Tomb and the Black Dragon.
The PC version should be released in August. Shacknews contacted Namco Bandai for further confirmation, but did not receive a response.

After a month in Akron's Children's hospital, Matthew was medevac'd to Johns Hopkins Children's hospital where he spent a week in the PICU.

Elsewhere on Department of Agriculture
Landcare is a community-based approach that has played a major role in raising awareness, influencing farming and land management practices and delivering environmental outcomes across Australian landscapes.
Caring for the land captures a range of activities such as soil conservation, management of erosion and salinity, sustainable farm practices, restoration of native habitats, revegetation, control of weeds and pests and the development of local natural resource management skills and knowledge.
While a key element of Landcare is the voluntary network of more than 6,000 groups across Australia, there are many farmers and landholders that undertake this important work but are not affiliated with any particular Landcare group.
We all have a role in looking after 'our patch' to ensure the land and water we use for agriculture and our natural environment is healthy and sustainable.
The Landcare approach in Australia
The Australian Government recognises the important role Landcare and collective community action plays in managing Australia's environment and natural resources sustainably.
The Australian Framework for Landcare identifies that the Landcare approach comprises:
- a philosophy, influencing the way people live in the landscape while caring for the land
- local community action putting the philosophy into practice
- a range of knowledge generation, sharing and support mechanisms including groups, networks (from district to national levels), facilitators and coordinators, government and non-government programs and partnerships.
In 1989 the former Prime Minister Bob Hawke announced the government's support for Landcare with the establishment of the Decade of Landcare and the National Landcare Program. Investment has continued through the Australian Government's current NRM program, Caring for our Country, with over $180 million being invested in Landcare over five years (2008 to 2013).Landcare funding provides support through investment at the national, regional and local level. This funding gives farmers, landholders and community groups the ability to undertake on-ground action, which contributes to sustainable agricultural and environmental outcomes.

Georgia's unemployment rate rose to 10.1 percent in July, from 9.9 percent in June, the state labor department said Thursday.
There has been no improvement from a year ago, when the state's jobless rate was also 10.1 percent.
July marked the 48th consecutive month Georgia has exceeded the national unemployment rate, which is currently 9.1 percent.
The July increase was due primarily to traditional seasonal layoffs, with about 80 percent of them in state and local education, the labor department said.
Georgia lost 30,200 jobs in July. In addition to 24,500 jobs lost in government and education, business services lost 2,200, while construction lost 1,800. Overall, the number of jobs declined seven-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago.
On the positive side, manufacturing gained 1,400 jobs — the first July increase in manufacturing in 18 years, the labor department said.
State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler blamed the political environment in Washington for hurting job growth.
"I believe the recent lack of leadership in Washington is a contributing factor to the overall lack of confidence in the economy," Butler said in a statement. "Due to this lack of confidence, we are seeing a business community which is hesitant to make further investments in this economy."
The number of long-term unemployed workers — those jobless for at least 27 weeks — increased for the first time in five months to hit 251,100, the labor department said. The number of long-term unemployed remains 9.1 percent higher than a year ago. The long-term unemployed account for 52.9 percent of Georgia's 474,577 jobless workers.
Also, first-time claims for unemployment insurance benefits in July rose 4.4 percent from June. Most of the first-time claims were filed in manufacturing, education, services and construction.

The best thing Obama could do for the economy would be to call a news conference and announce he will NOT be running for re-election. But that ain't gonna happen and unemployment ain't going down either, until Obama is out of office. Prepare to continue to suffer another 16 months people.

More jobs that lazy Americans don't want:
PALMYRA, Pa. — Hundreds of foreign students, waving their fists and shouting defiantly in many languages, walked off their jobs on Wednesday at a plant here that packs Hershey's chocolates, saying a summer program that was supposed to be a cultural exchange had instead turned them into underpaid labor.
In a way, they did. About 400 foreign students were put to work lifting heavy boxes and packing Reese's candies, Kit-Kats and Almond Joys on a fast-moving production line, many of them on a night shift. After paycheck deductions for fees associated with the program and for their rent, students said at a rally in front of the huge packing plant that many of them were not earning nearly enough to recover what they had spent in their home countries to obtain their visas.
Their experience of American society has been very different from what they expected.

This is all the fault of George W. Bush.

Bush should really be in prison for destroying the country. Instead of doing anything for this country, he was fighting was against countries that had nothing to do with 9/11, given a blank check by the Republicans. And he watched and did nothing as the housing and banking industries collapsed. And somehow this is Obama's fault? I guess the stupid people can keep drinking the FOX News Kool Aid and listen to the right wing extremists on WSB. And then of course you have the Tea Party extremists hijacking the future of this country. No spending of any kind. Government is evil. The Tea Party is leading the future of this country right off a cliff. I wish they would take all Republicans with them.

Ain't my fault, Y'all.
It's the Tea Party … that's right.. no, it's Bush's fault … no, wait .. it's the oil folks … no, I mean the other Bush … or Reagan …. damn Arab Spring …
Just give me another 4 years of Hope and I'll Change this country like you've never seen!
I swear, I'll make these last 4 years seem like a sweet memory … don't forget, we're almost there… Viva La Revolution!

A Republican state, with a Republican governor. We should be in high cotton, right? Right?
Much easier to just blame Washington, though.
But what the heck – Georgia will continue to vote for the Republican Tea Party – and we'll continue to be at the bottom of the barrel in everything that matters.

I think Bush's whole plan was to destroy the economy and to funnel all the money to his rich buddies at Halliburton and Exxon Mobil and then hope that everyone blamed Obama. The problem was that the economy nosedived under Bush's watch but somehow all the stupid people out there have such short attention spans that they seem to forget that. Somehow they seem to forget that under Bush, gas prices went from $1.50 a gallon to 4 bucks a gallon yet everyone seems to blame Obama for gas prices, because the right wing media that controls the country tells everyone to blame Obama. I think the right wing media was formulating a plan years ago to blame Obama for every disaster that happened under Bush.

Way too much of this partisan crap to get any CHANGE we can believe in… FOX = Far right .

independent: buddy, how do you think we got to Afghanistan in the FIRS place? You're memory is f'd up. Instead of Bush FINISHING the job to begin with after HE is the one who went into Afghanistan, he bailed half way through and decided it was a good thing to go after Iraq INSTEAD! So when Obama took office, he ALREADY had TWO wars he was trying to babysit after Bush walked off the job! Your history lesson of the day was free by the way. Thank you.

If anything, Obama is just too nice a guy to fight these right wing and Tea Party extremists, who are intent on bringing down his presidency and destroying the country. I wish he would put up more of a fight but clearly he doesn't have the stomach to fight these losers. I'm floored that anyone would be stupid enough to support a party like the Tea Party that is intent on bringing down and destroying the entire country. What a great plan they have. Let's not spend anymore money. That'll get the country moving again. That'll create jobs. Shame on all the Republican nominees who are falling in line right behind the Tea Party extremists.

This is a republican state. The layoffs were in government state and local agencies. We talking teachers, policemen, firefighters, the court system. This has nothing to do with Washington. It has all to do with Republicans not wanting to pay the bills in hardtimes, by raising taxes. They would rather do without those services. Now the Georgia Courts are backed up with cases, but there aren't enough administrative judges, clerks to process paperwork. Groegians get what thay voted for.
The same in college sports. The money from the state has supporting education has been cut not to the bone, but through the bone. that's why college football is about to get crazy, all these states cutting money and the schools trying to make it up with TV and merchandising contracts from sports.
This has nothing to do with President Obama, this is all Governor Deal. We got a Bum Deal when he was elected.

Lets see folks we have a Republican control state from the governor to the state congress they hold ever important office in the state we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and since they know they are doing a really bad job rather than admit they can't do it and quit the blame it on Washington,10 1 unemployment here lets look at other state north Dakota , 4.1 percent unemployment lowest in the nation? why you might say we cause its not run by republicans and they know how to work for the people there funny they have a democratic Governor and the state house and senate is controlled by democrats so yo decided 10.1 or 4.1 2012 lets change GA back to a blue moderate state and watch real jobs get created just a false promise and tax your tax money and get nothing for it think i am making this up go look for-yourselves

To: "Down and Out" You're statement is just racist.
The truth is that when blacks came to power in these cities, whites refused to work to keep the city prosperious. The withes took their money and went to private schools, moved to the Suburbs and they continuously vote to starve those cites of the money they need to do the basic jobs of cleaning, policing, firefighting, educating, and growing. It the old adage of if I ain't in charge I'm not going to work with you. Does that sound famililar, maybe a little Tea Partyish… It all the same, just different names, but same attitudes. Conservative Whites with an my way of the highway mentality.

How long will Georgians continue to delude themselves in thinking that Georgia's economic problems are not linked to GA's recent infatuation with the Republican Party. Ask yourselves, were you better off in 2000 or now? Was our unemployment rate lower then, or now? Was our State budget better then, or now. Were home prices higher then, or now? Were the number of foreclosures greater then, or now?
Get a grip Georgians. The Republican Party is killing us.

By the way, for the record, Pres. Bush had zero net job growth in eight years after the largest multiple tax cuts in modern times. The promise then was, "let's give back the surplus to the Job Creators." I'd like to know two things, do you have a surplus now? And, do you see all those jobs. I guess it wasn't such a great idea. The Dems had pledged to use that surplus to fully fund SS and Medicare for future generations, now the Republicans want to do away with both because there isn't enough money in 'their' budget for either.

The food stamp President blames the evil rich folks, but who else is paying for the 50% of Americans that don't pay taxes ? I Hope there is enough Change to put gas in my car !! The community organizer is the WORST President we have ever had, but keep blaming Bush. The tree hugging left controled Congress from 2006 on, notice our dramitic increase in spending from then till now. Just keep printing money Obama, it will get better !!!!(yeah right). The people who voted for him couldn't name one thing he had done while in office,just that he was black. Sad, that we have fallen so far, so fast. Maybe I'll just kick back and let the government take care of me, seems to work for half the country. The Plantation mentality which the left seems to subscribe to seems to work. Hope and Change, What a joke !!! Obama is nothing but a used car salesman.

The national debt war about one trillion when Carter's term ended. The near 14 trillion in deficit spending since then has been a two party effort. Reagan, Bush 41 and Clinton all had deficit spending of one trillion per 4 year term. W doubled that rate his first term and then tripled it his 2nd. The tax cut should have ended in 2005.
If Nixon and Carter had spent like those who followed then they would have been a lot more popular too.
Obama is not to blame for getting us into the mess.
But he and his team do not seem to realize the extent of the problem.
Bernacke is W's pick for Fed chairman btw.
Greenspan did not pull the punch away twice.

If all those Kia Workers in that Kia Plant that Georgia taxpayers built for them actually lived in Georgia and not in Alabama, the unemployment figures would be better —- but, they choose to live in Alabama!!! And, Kia looks for them, not for Georgians, to work!!!

As an African American, I can say that I voted for OBAMA because we needed change from previous administrations. I am a firm believer that you must give someone else an opportunity to do a better job if it is not working. I hate to say it, but to many of my race and Whites vote strictly on race and can not move past that issue.
I will not vote for OBAMA this next election. I do not vote based on race.
With country in a dire straits…………………………….It is time for someone else to try and see what they can do. With his approval ratio down to 39 %, I do not believe he will win anyway.
He tried, but it just did not work unless their is a miracle around the corner very soon. He was a part of history and that is what he will be remembered for. Can not say that he did any better than the BUSH guys who were terrible also.

Berkeley Bites: Aaron Betesh, Blue Heron Farms
For 10 years, Blue Heron Farms vendor Aaron Betesh has been selling organic vegetables to customers at all three Berkeley Farmers' Markets.
Betesh is part of the Blue Heron crew which, for much of the year, hawks salad greens, Asian greens, herbs and flower — along with carrots, kale, and broccoli.
The produce comes from a small family farm in Corralitos, near Watsonville, run by Lori Perry and Dennis Tamura.

J.R. Smith sank a baseline 21-footer at the buzzer after a Phoenix turnover with a second to play, giving the depleted New York Knicks a 99-97 victory over the Suns on Wednesday night.
Smith's tough jumper from 15 feet had tied it at 97 with 10.6 seconds left. Then, after the turnover, Jason Kidd inbounded to Smith, who got the shot off as he sailed toward the out of bounds line. Smith scored 27 and Kidd 23.
Jared Dudley had a career-high 36 for Phoenix, including two free throws that put the Suns ahead 97-95 with 34.5 seconds to go.
New York was without the NBA's No. 2 scorer Carmelo Anthony (hyperextended knee) and Raymond Felton (sprained finger), both hurt in the Christmas day loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles.

Beef brisket is an all-purpose meat that's great for stews and even making corned beef! But a lot of people don't know how to prepare it properly. Here is Chef Susan Feniger's recipe for cooking brisket the right way!
Serves 6
3 1/2 pounds beef brisket
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
flour for dredging
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
2 medium onions, chopped
10 garlic cloves, peeled
3 dried chipotle chiles
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 quarts chicken stock or water
5 bay leaves
salt to taste
1 cup Pickled Red Onions, see recipe below, for garnish
4 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced on the diagonal, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Sprinkle the brisket with coarse salt and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat and shake off any excess.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat until browned on all sides, and remove. Reduce the heat to moderate and add the carrots and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 2 minutes longer. Return the meat to the pan along with all the remaining ingredients except the salt and garnishes. Bring to a boil, cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2 1/4 hours, or until the meat slips off a fork when pierced.
Lift out the brisket and place on a cutting board. Cover with a damp towel. Pour the broth with the vegetables into a tall container and skim off the layer of fat that rises. Remove and discard the bay leaves and chiles. Pour the broth and vegetables into a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree until smooth, add salt to taste and strain. Reheat the sauce.
Slice the brisket against the grain and arrange on a platter. Pour the warm sauce over it, sprinkle with pickled onions and sliced scallions and serve.
Pickled Red Onions
Makes 5 1/2 cups
1 pound red onions, thinly sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon roughly chopped cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 beet, trimmed, peeled, and cut into 8 wedges
Place the onions in a medium saucepan and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Strain and set the onions aside.
Combine all the remaining ingredients in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Add the blanched onions and simmer an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a container, cover, and refrigerate at least a day before serving. Pickled onions will keep in the refrigerator up to a month.

Matt Crafton, driver of the No. 88 Splash-FVP/Menards Toyota Tundra, had a lot to gain from a solid run in Saturday's rain-delayed Lucas Oil 225 at Chicagoland Speedway.
Tom Hessert won the ARCA Racing Series race at Salem Speedway Saturday night in a wild finish that saw the runner-up, Mason Mitchell, cross the finish line backward after two cars came together in the final 200 yards of the race.
Sprint Cup regular (No. 18 Toyota Camry) Kyle Busch wins the Lucas Oil 225, his 41st victory in 123 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) races.
David Mayhew spent the first 44 laps of the EnergySolutions Utah Grand Prix looking up at the race leaders, but by the time the checkered flag flew at Miller Motorsports Park Saturday, he emerged with his fourth NASCAR K&N Pro Series West victory of the season.
Kyle Ebersole, the Hummelstown, Pennsylvania driver decided to change up his pit strategy and pitted early on Lap 53 and was able to hold off a late charge by Andy Seuss to win the South Boston 150 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour event at South Boston Speedway.
Sprint Cup regular (No. 4 Chevrolet SS) Kevin Harvick wins the Jimmy John's Freaky Fast 300 Powered by Coca-Cola, his 44th victory in 314 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) races.

In the workplace, we rarely share what's going on beneath the surface. At most companies, the unspoken expectation is that you park your emotional life at the door, put on your game face, and keep things light and professional. In short, you bring a part of yourself to work and try to suppress the rest.
But at what cost — including to productivity? — Tony Schwartz, in an HBR blog post, Seeing Through Your Blind Spots, talks about how acknowledging and understanding our emotions in the workplace are important to how well we work. (via harvest)

"This budget is a picture of progress that builds on our success during the past four years and charts a course for fulfilling promises we've made to our residents that will create new jobs, improve public safety and increase the quality of life in our hometown," Abramson said.
The budget plan creates the IDEAL initiative – Investing in Downtown for the Economic Advancement of Louisville. The newly created land-development effort will allow the city to purchase strategic properties to build on existing downtown investments and continue the renaissance.
The mayor's budget provides $1 million in down-payment funds to purchase more than $3 million of land in the old Louisville Water Company block, which is bound by Second, Third, Muhammad Ali and Liberty streets.
Private companies have expressed an interest in the Water Company block and other land parcels downtown as possible sites for mixed-use developments including retail, housing and/or entertainment.Public SafetyThe mayor's budget plan invests $286 million, more than half of the operating budget, in the city's public-safety agencies.
Public safety projects include:
Quality of LifeA River Road recreational corridor that will feature Louisville Champions Park highlights new investments in the city's parks department.
Other investments include:
Rising Pension & Healthcare Costs
The mayor's fiscal year 2007-08 budget projects city revenue to grow by about $23 million. While revenues have increased, so have personnel and healthcare costs. Pension payments have almost doubled since 2004, soaring this year to almost $66 million dollars. Healthcare costs make up nearly $40 million of the operating budget, up from $25 million five years ago.
"We can dream boldly. We can spend wisely. But the truth is that a day of reckoning is coming. Our tax dollars are not keeping pace with the soaring costs of running a government where 70 percent of our operating budget goes for personnel costs," Abramson told the council.
In departments where staff has been added, positions have been removed from other departments. Despite increased personnel costs, Abramson's budget is balanced with no tax increases or service cuts.For the full list of budget highlights and documents go here.

Go on the Butchers Hill House Tour this weekend and you might just decide to buy a house there.
That's what happened to Sue Noonan, who is now co-chair of the annual tour.
"We came on the tour in '87, bought a house, and the next year we were on the tour," she said.
According to Noonan, she's not the only current Butchers Hill resident who ended up in the neighborhood that way. Once they get introduced to the neighborhood, people usually find something they like, she said.
"People are here for all different reasons," she said. "Usually its proximity to the park and the friendly neighborhood."
The friendliness will be on full display for the self-guided tour of nine houses this Sunday, Oct. 14, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are available the day of the tour at the white house in Patterson Park at the Lombard St. entrance, near the Pagoda. To buy tickets in advance, visit www.butchershill.org.
The houses on the tour will showcase the diverse interiors in a neighborhood where the houses look very similar from the outside.
"Some are elegant; some are just cozy," Noonan said. "You get all different ideas for decorating, and some people are even doing their own renovations."
The most important criteria for getting your house on the tour? Being enthusiastic about opening your home to neighbors and visitors.
"[The House Tour] has kind of changed in purpose," Noonan said, "but it's still dependent on people being willing to open their homes."
Though the tour still convinces folks to move to Butchers Hill, that aspect of it was more overt back when it was started, 30 years and change ago.
"It was really started in the late 70s or early 80s by a group of people who had worked hard on beautifying the neighborhood and wanted other people to see how nice it was," said Noonan. "They wanted to encourage people to come and live in Butchers Hill."
The strategy worked.
"We bought our house in '81 because of stumbling on the House Tour," said Carolyn Boitnott, who now lives on the 2100 block of Baltimore St. "That's how we sort of discovered the neighborhood."
Boitnott's husband worked then and works now for Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the couple had been looking at houses in the city "just for fun."
Butchers Hill won them over with "the proximity to Johns Hopkins, the proximity to [Patterson Park], and just the wonderful architecture of the buildings," Boitnott said.
"There was a lot of nice—fairly simple, but nice—Victorian woodwork and details," Boitnott elaborated.
Visitors on this year's tour will be entered in a raffle to win a handmade afghan depicting the Patterson Park Pagoda, made by Butchers Hill artist Martha Simons, www.stelladogcreations.com.

Save $17K in your 401k next year
New IRS inflation-adjusted figures increase the maximum individual 401k retirement plan contribution to $17,000 for 2012. Should you take advantage of it?
This post comes from Ashlea Ebeling at partner site Forbes.com.
A surprising number of folks contribute the maximum amount to their retirement savings plans at work, and thanks to Internal Revenue Service inflation-adjusted figures released Friday, they can ratchet up even more tax savings in 2012.
The maximum an individual can contribute to a 401k retirement plan for 2012 is $17,000, up from $16,500 this year. The new higher limit applies to all 401k type retirement plans, including 403b plans and 457 plans.
"If you can afford it you should do it," says Craig Copeland, a senior research associate at the Employee Benefits Research Institute in Washington, D.C. Now is the time to take action, too, as many employers tie 401k enrollment with healthcare open enrollment that typically runs during late October or early November. Don't just keep the retirement deferral choices you made when you were hired without giving it a serious second look.
Who contributes to the max?
Fidelity looked at who was saving to the max in a February survey and found that one-third of retirees indicated that they deferred the maximum allowed in the period prior to retirement. By contrast, only 15% of employees still working are deferring the max, with only 12% of younger employees doing so, the survey found.
"Nevertheless, convincing younger employees to defer the maximum allowable amount could produce tremendous long-term benefits for them," according to "Reducing Regret In Retirement," a Fidelity report that summarizes the survey results. According to EBRI's look at the latest Department of Labor data available, in 2005, 9% of 401k-type plan participants contributed the maximum amount in that year.
For those 50 and older, in addition to the new $17,000 max, they can contribute an additional $5,500 a year as a catch-up. That catch-up amount didn't change from 2011. So the total annual contribution for these folks would be $22,500. Thinking of skipping the catch-up contribution? The Fidelity survey found that one in three retirees said they wished they had contributed more to their retirement savings.
Some high-income earners left out
For some highly paid employees (making $115,000 or more) the raise in the contribution limit won't help, however. That's because some employers' retirement plans fail a Department of Labor test that tries to equal the playing field between high-income earners and lower-income earners by limiting highly paid employees' contributions. Post continues below.In that case, an employer will set a plan maximum percentage that can be contributed, typically between 8% and 12%. So someone making $120,000 might be able to put in only $9,600. There are exceptions to these restrictions for highly paid employees at smaller employers whose plans meet certain conditions.
Frank Palmieri, an employee benefits lawyer in Princeton, N.J., says he has advised small business owners who want to enable their executives to put away the max to modify their plans so they can. "They get frustrated if they can't put in the maximum amount," he says. "Every dollar put aside is important."
Save what you can
What if you're young and the idea of putting away $17,000 out of a modest annual salary is a nonstarter? Contribute at least enough to get your employer's match if there is one, and if not, start with anything, even if it's just $100 a month, says Palmieri.
A young employee making up to $28,750 (or a married couple filing jointly making up to $57,500) gets a saver's tax credit for retirement contributions, making it smart to start building a nest egg, no matter how small you start.
More on Forbes and MSN Money:
- Calculator:Am I saving enough for retirement?
you are on your own! make it a point to help yourself and don't count on anyone.
The govt is already giving a tax break on 401k and a saver's credit if you qualify. Maybe you can cancel your 852 channels of brain-rotting cable tv and your fancy pants smartphone and you won't have to eat cat food when you are old.
...of course you could just blow it now and ask the govt to help you later like everyone else does.
