A "Flickr" of Hope for Yahoo!
Evan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Ever since Marissa Mayer took the helm as CEO at Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) in the summer of 2012, things have been going quite well at the Sunnyvale, California media portal. The company's stock has appreciated from around $16 to $20 since Mayer came in, and it seems that Mayer is doing a lot of things right in her quest to turn the fortunes of Yahoo! around.
In order to compete better with Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) photo sharing service Instagram, Yahoo! has updated its own photo sharing service, Flickr. Yahoo! has also given a facelift to its homepage, which has resulted in a newer, chic look. Do these new updates, as well as other preceding developments at Yahoo!, indicate that a "Yahoo! Renaissance" is imminent, or will Yahoo! stay in the cycle of mediocrity that it has been in for the past few years? The new policies at Yahoo! provide a great opportunity for investors, and the long-term prospects for Yahoo! are certainly improving even though there is still much work to be done.
How Instagram and Google Factor in to Flickr's Success
The Dec. 19, 2012 article entitled "Why Instagram Will Make Facebook Bundles of Money" discussed the reasons why Instagram would turn out to be a profitable acquisition for Facebook. It also analyzed competitors such as Yahoo!'s Flickr and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). The analysis in this article came before Instagram's massive privacy policy uproar and Instagram's most recent refusal to develop an app for the new BlackBerry 10 line of smartphones.
Although Instagram will most likely turn out to be a good move on Facebook's part, the photo-sharing business has some legitimate competition from Yahoo! and Google. Below is an observation from the December article that is pertinent to the current topic at hand:
"The success of Instagram has given investors a "snapshot" into the current state of the tech industry. Mobile usage of the internet is fast outpacing desktops and laptops and is opening up a new frontier for tech companies. Facebook's acquisition of Instagram is an important step for Facebook moving forward."
Instagram's usage is skyrocketing, and when Facebook finds a way to monetize that usage Instagram will bring in a lot of revenue. Instagram is the largest player in this market and their competitors have yet to make major inroads into the massive potential of the photo sharing market. However, Facebook needs to keep its eye on Yahoo! and Google and continue to balance the happiness of Instagram's users with the need to generate revenue.
Yahoo! and Google now have an opportunity to grab some disenfranchised Instagram users, as well as stake claims in the BlackBerry market, which should be a cause for concern for Facebook. However, Instagram is still a big power player in the photo-sharing market, and Yahoo! definitely has an uphill battle to fight in seeking to grab some market share.
Google is another important factor in the success of Flickr. Google's social network Google+ has become a hub for photographers and has certainly demonstrated that it is not afraid to throw its weight around. Facebook and Google appear to be the two "big boys" duking it out for dominance in the photo-sharing market, while Yahoo! is a smaller, outlying company trying to gain traction. As long as Google continues to sharpen and improve its own photo-sharing software, Yahoo!'s Flickr has another battlefront to fight on in addition to Facebook's Instagram.
Yahoo!'s Flickr service is a project which CEO Marissa Mayer has pledged to continue working on, even though Mayer recently announced she would slash up to 80% of Yahoo'!s current mobile apps. One of Yahoo!'s major goals under Mayer is to improve its mobile apps, and the Feb. 21, 2013 Flickr update is just one example of that plan.
Will Yahoo be Competitive?
Yahoo!'s revamped homepage will most likely help the company bring in more revenue, and so far the "reboot" seems to be doing pretty well. Can Yahoo! continue to produce results, or are the most recent results simply a fluke or a "honeymoon period" after the hiring of Mayer?
Yahoo! is a smaller company than Facebook and Google--frankly, Facebook and Google are two large Goliaths in comparison to the Davidic Yahoo!. The fundamental question is will Yahoo! be able to overcome the Goliaths? Time will tell if Yahoo!'s current performance is an indicator of future growth or not. Yahoo! needs to sustain user interest by giving users a reason to come back to the website, as well as continuing to develop its mobile apps and other branch operations. The turnaround story at Yahoo! will continue to take time. One should not expect a radical complete overhaul of a Fortune 500 company in the space of less than a year. Yahoo! has certainly had a bad track record of missing major opportunities to buy Facebook, Google, and Yelp, but perhaps other acquisitions Yahoo! has made will bear fruit later.
Facebook's Instagram will most likely remain a powerful force in the photo-sharing industry. But Facebook definitely needs to keep an eye out for a revitalized Yahoo! and the guns-a-blazin' Google. Although Yahoo! has a long road ahead of it, CEO Marissa Mayer is certainly making the right moves in order to, hopefully, be more competitive with Facebook and Google.

The White House takes on gun control Wednesday, hoping to build momentum for a new assault weapons ban.
President Obama wants to reinstitute a ban on so-called assault weapons, semi automatic rifles that have a military appearance. He also wants high capacity magazines outlawed and perhaps a new national database for gun ownership.
Politically, the administration sees a real opening here in the wake of December's shooting attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, where most of the victims were children.
Vice President Joe Biden is leading Wednesday's meetings to help develop a new strategy.
"I think you heard the President say that he expected and had asked the Vice President to report back to him this month. I think that demonstrates the speed with which the President hopes to act," said Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary.
Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords, still recovering from her attack two years ago Tuesday, is making her case for tighter gun laws.
The National Rifle Association will play a part in this as well.
NRA supporters say assault weapons bans at the state level have been ineffective.
"But there's no evidence that those bans or the assault weapons ban at the federal level from 1994 to 2004 had any measurable effect on crime," said Rep. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer says she is not in favor of more gun control and says she supports Second Amendment rights, but does feel more needs to be done to keep Arizona schools safe.
"I think we all can agree that we need to assure that our schools are safe and that public areas are safe but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's gun control, it means that we have to come up with solutions," said Brewer.
The governor says she's hopeful something will get done this legislative session on the federal level. If not there, then on the state level.
Another issue that both sides will talk about in the days ahead: taking a closer look at the nation's mental health policies as they pertain to gun ownership.

Love beyond compare this dress I was looking for a short, beachy dress for our vow renewal and my consultant pulled this dress to try. I knew I wasn't going to like it but was I ever wrong. I am self-conscious about my weight and would have never thought this would have worked but when I saw myself in the mirror, I was astounded. I immediately said that it was the one. It drapes perfectly and the ivory color complemented my skin tone. It fit as though it were sown just for me and I gladly took it home that day. This dress is AWESOME! April 10, 2014
Love, love, LOVE I tried on dresses a while back and didn't find anything I love. Then I went back just 11 weeks before my wedding - after already putting a deposit on a dress at another store. This is the first dress my consultant brought and I loved it! She added a champagne belt and I was sold! So comfortable and VERY flattering. I am 5'9", size 18/20. I am busty so was nervous about the strapless aspect but added cap sleeves and it will be perfect. I cannot wait to wear this on my wedding day in May! March 9, 2014
Overall GREAT experience!!! This dress was the third dress I tried on. I wasn't extremely happy with it, because of my own insecurities, but I liked it. Then, Misty, my AWESOME consultant, brought out a sash to go with it!!! This changed my entire outlook of the dress. I loved how the sash brought the entire dress to another level of greatness. Without the sash the dress, to me, was maybe a 3, ON ME, and then with the sash.. I obviously bought it after lol! I am very hippy and this dress hides them well. It brought out my features and hid the ones I didn't like aka my child bearing hips! lol! I got it in ivory and it is just beautiful!!! March 4, 2014
flattering... must wear with sash This is an amazingly elegant dress. I new I wanted something in chiffon for my destination wedding, and my coordinator pulled this right away. It was the 3rd dress I tried on, and I was pretty stunned (which is crazy, as I'm very critical of my body). It gives me subtle curves and makes me look long and lean (which is great since I've got a bit of a rectangle shape)I'm 5'9", and typically wear a 16 dress. I ordered this in a 16W and it fits like a glove, with the only alterations being a bustle. In my opinion, it really does need a sash. Try it on! February 21, 2014

Provo • From his seat in the old Cougar Stadium on a November afternoon in 1972, Gary Sheide watched as BYU continually called running plays, barely believing he was about to become part of a revolutionary offense.
Coach LaVell Edwards kept telling Sheide during the junior college quarterback's recruiting visit that BYU soon would throw the football, because an old-style approach was historically unsuccessful. Deciding to "trust what he says," Sheide came to BYU and helped launch an offense that would not only transform the program, but also change the game elsewhere.
As the 40th season of the BYU passing offense begins next month, the Cougars' opponent will be Washington State, coached by Mike Leach. College football's most celebrated practitioner of the passing game traces his scheme directly to BYU, where he was a student in the early 1980s and later returned to study the offense.
BYU's impact is "indisputable," Leach said. "It had a lot of influence on me."
And it all started, basically, out of desperation.
Before taking over in '72, Edwards was an assistant coach for Cougar teams that posted a 45-56 record in 10 seasons. "So I figured I might as well try something different," Edwards said.
Out of that practical, yet daring decision came an offense that forever altered BYU football, with All-America quarterbacks, a Heisman Trophy, a national championship, an expanded stadium and a style of play that helped BYU develop its own brand.
The irony is that in Edwards' first season, Pete Van Valkenburg led the country with 1,386 rushing yards as BYU went 7-4. Yet Edwards was committed to passing as a long-term approach.
Sheide's two-year career under quarterback coaches Dewey Warren and Dwain Painter ended with a Western Athletic Conference championship and Fiesta Bowl appearance in '74. The evolution accelerated in '76 when Doug Scovil arrived from the San Francisco 49ers as offensive coordinator. Scovil and Bill Walsh, who was developing his West Coast offense in Cincinnati in those days, never worked together, but they were friends. So while their schemes were not copies, there were obvious similarities.
Scovil, who died in 1989, had coached future NFL quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Bob Lee in college, then worked for the 49ers while dreaming of a system he would implement if he ever got the chance. Edwards gave him that opportunity — and Walsh encouraged Scovil to take it, according to Edwards.
Scovil's offense, as initially operated by quarterback Gifford Nielsen, featured Walsh's basic principles: a ball-control passing game, stretching the field vertically and horizontally and throwing to the running backs.
"It's not the complexity, but the simplicity," said Mike Sheppard, a longtime NFL coach who was a graduate assistant under Scovil. "After all this time, that becomes the thing you marvel at."
The passing game became an equalizer for BYU, making up for personnel deficiencies. Yet "even when we started to get good players," Edwards said, "we stayed with it."
Todd Christensen, who would become an All-Pro tight end, caught 101 passes in two seasons as a fullback in Scovil's BYU scheme. "He saw the entire field," Christensen said. "He made sure people in the secondary were busy."
Defenders were preoccupied, and they were confused. "BYU won in the late '70s and early '80s because nobody could figure out what was going on," said quarterback Steve Young. "The ball was out, people were running around, you couldn't cover anybody. We were the beginning of a movement that was ahead of the game, and it was so much fun. Every year, you'd get these intense situations where the defense would start yelling at each other. And then I'd play with the 49ers, and it was the same thing."
A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Young is amazed to think how as a wishbone quarterback in high school in Connecticut, he went on to play for legendary passing innovators: Edwards, Sid Gillman with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL and Walsh with the 49ers.
"They're all connected," Young said, "and they all were way ahead of their time."
After Scovil became San Diego State's head coach in 1981, quarterback coaches Ted Tollner, Mike Holmgren and Norm Chow succeeded him at BYU. Gary Crowton installed his own version of the offense when he replaced Edwards in 2001. Bronco Mendenhall succeeded Crowton in 2005 and hired Robert Anae from Leach's Texas Tech staff as offensive coordinator, then promoted Brandon Doman in 2011.
This season, Riley Nelson will quarterback "the BYU offense," said Doman, referencing the traditional approach. Nelson observed that other programs' signature schemes, such as Texas' wishbone offense, have gone away, but "ours was so cutting-edge that here we are 40 years later, still running it."
Or, more accurately, throwing it.
The BYU offense explained
BYU's passing offense is designed to stretch the field vertically and horizontally, using all five eligible receivers. It involves clear-our routes to create seams in the middle of the field for the tight end and flare patterns to the running backs. On each play, the quarterback goes from one potential receiver to another, based on timing, and taking what the defenses gives. "If you go through your progressions and are patient," quarterback Riley Nelson said, "there's always somebody open."

Senate to OK $20 million border fund
The U.S. Senate has approved an amendment to provide $20 million in new federal funding to help cover the costs of border-related crimes along the U.S./Canadian border.
The Northern Border Prosecution Initiative was attached as an amendment to the $55 million Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations bill last week and would reimburse northern border law enforcement agencies for the costs associated with jailing, processing, prosecutors, judges and defense attorneys, according to a statement released Friday.
The move comes after state and local law enforcement agencies here demanded financial help for prosecuting a disproportionate number of federal border-related cases. Whatcom County, for example, prosecutes 85 to 90 percent of all cross-border drug cases initiated by federal law enforcement agencies, said Whatcom County executive Pete Kremen, who helped spearhead the effort.
In 2004, that translated into county law enforcement agencies spending approximately $2.5 million on those cases alone, he said.
"Our community can't afford to continue to shoulder the entire financial burden created by criminals apprehended at the border," Kremen said.
The funding will also be used to help fund the capture of fugitives, fight drug trafficking and be distributed by a formula payment based on the number of days from the time the U.S. Attorney's office declines to take a case until the day the county or city resolves it.
"Our northern border communities are being crushed by the costs of policing and prosecuting border-related crimes," said Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) in a statement. "This amendment provides the support we owe the northern border communities."
Senator Maria Cantwell's office confirmed the original bill includes an additional $750,000 specifically for Whatcom County and an additional $250,000 to coordinate the county's criminal tracking systems with Canada and other law enforcement agencies.
2006, $30 million was spent helping southern border communities
cover security costs related to federal crimes.
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) also introduced a similar bill in the House in March. That bill, H.R. 1291, authorizes $28 million annually to reimburse northern border communities for the cost of prosecuting cases, detaining suspects, and constructing holding spaces, said Amanda Mahnke, a spokesperson for Larsen's Washington, D.C. office. It does not, however, set a specific dollar amount for Whatcom County
Larsen first introduced the Northern Border Prosecution Reimbursement Initiative Act in 2002 to help border communities cover the cost of detaining and prosecuting suspects charged with federal border crimes. Since then, he and Cantwell have reintroduced companion bills in the House and Senate in each Congress.
After the full appropriations bill passes in the Senate, the bill will go to a conference committee between the House and Senate.

A two-tier model of Canadian chartered bank rate-setting behaviour and the implications for identifying demand for loans and deposits equations
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Economics / Economic Policy
W.M. Scarth
In this thesis deposit and loan rate-setting equations for chartered banks are derived on the premise that these rates are set so as to maximize the banking industry's profits. Because of the oligopolistic nature of the Canadian banking industry and because explicit collusion is illegal an optimizing model of chartered bank rate-setting behaviour was integrated into the institutional framework of the Canadian banking industry. To do this a two-stage model of the Canadian banking industry is proposed. At the first stage, the prime rate on loans and the rate on non-chequing personal savings deposits are set so as to maximize the collective profits of the industry. To circumvent the illegality of explicit collusion a price leadership model is developed. In this model it is not one of the individual banks which is a price leader, but rather changes in the bank rate act as a signal for all of the individual banks to change their rates. The formulation proposed was tested and the hypothesis accepted for both rates. The second stage of the two-stage model is concerned with asset and liability management and is not developed in this thesis. A second contribution of this thesis is to take into account chartered bank rate-setting behaviour when estimating demand equations for both business loans and non-chequing personal savings deposits. When the estimation procedure used reflects these problems it is found that there are large changes in the values of the estimated coefficients in the demand functions for loans and deposits, compared to the simple O.L.S. estimates of the parameter values.

"Wonderful product! Chose custom color, which was darker to match the invitations. I like how striking it is with little darker color and white lettering. Only thing is that these do not come in a pearlized white paper because they a sticky label product (I was told). They print just slightly brighter than the invitation color, but it's very slight and I'm probably the only one who noticed it. Overall, loved them!"
"This address label is perfect. It has a great design, quality sticker, Easy to use. I chose the orange color and was worried since I wouldn't get to see it before hand, but it was very true to what I expected. The best part is that once I got it I realized 1) I had put the wrong city on the addres, and 2) that the last page of the labels and not printed correctly and had an ink link through the whole sheet causing them to be unusable. I contacted customer service, mentioned both problems and they immediately mailed me another full order of the labels with the corrected address. Great customer service!"
"Used these for sticker info on back of save the date postcards for our wedding website !! Larger than I expected (twice the size of your average thin address label... Which made them perfect!). Great design review too! Happy happy ;)"
"Added the perfect touch to the envelopes for my engagement party cards! Used a cream colored label with red font. Gorgeous!"
"The style is simple but effective. I did not like the colors that came in the previews online. I asked for the color to be changed to match my vision for my wedding invites and it was done well. It shipped quickly, works well with what I needed it for and the quality of the color is lovely. I am happy with my purchase."

You are starting your new year with a financial plan - but then life happens. How do you stick to your plan? Scott Scredon of ClearPoint Credit Counseling shares some financial advice.
Click the vide above to learn more of Scott's advice for the new year.
• To start making changes in your financial life, make your plan simple, measurable and realistic.
• Make changes gradually. If your goal is to save, your first task is to find $20 that you can save consistently, every week or every month.
• To reduce your spending identify the easy cuts first. Look at all of your expenses and find products and services you either don't need or don't use. Do you subscribe to cable channels you never look at? Recurring costs like these eat up a budget over the course of a year.
• If you don't keep a close eye on where your money goes over the course of a month, download a budget tracker or simply put a pen to paper and write down everything you spend for 30 days.
• A good way to reinforce and reward your new spending habits is to set up a savings account devoted to reflect the "new financial you." Arrange for a scheduled automatic deposit to the savings account and pat yourself on the back as you watch the balance grow.

- MM has become one of our favoritessloelsieDined on 9/20/2014This restaurant came well recommended to us. We have eaten there at least 4 times in the last month. We have found the décor , the service, and, especially, the food to be most excellent. My husband and I have dined "alone" at times. However, on several occasions, we have brought out of town guests. Everyone has enjoyed their meals tremendously. Highly recommended! Also, I like their online reservation option.Special Features:
- Always awesome!!DCarpeDined on 9/19/2014We have been eating at Mama's Meatballs for several years now. I love Italian and we have never been disappointed . My favorite is the butternut squash ravioli. We call the bread, little knots of heaven. But seriously, the food is always great and the service has never been anything but perfect. I do recommend a reservation if you are dining at the regular dinner hour. It gets full quickly. The dining room is small.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply the best Italian cuisine!food4thoughtDined on 9/12/2014Warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, incredibly fresh top-quality food (including homegrown organic veg) prepared with brilliant care... Mama really does make the meatballs, and exquisite desserts, and this whole family will make you feel wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014We love Mama's Meatballs Restaurant! We had a party of 8 for my son's 2nd birthday and they were so accommodating and even brought him a little treat and sang happy birthday. The food is absolutely wonderful!! We will be back for sure!Special Features:
- We go here every time we go to SLOdaveatglendoraDined on 9/6/2014Never had a bad meal here. Wait staff good. Food worth the long wait. Seemed noisier this time though. We have dined here 2-4 times a year for past ~5 years. Always make reservations w/ OpenTable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent AtmosphereTheDudeDined on 9/3/2014It was a great evening, the service was not rushed and very polite and helpful. Lighting was soft but not dark and the food was delicious.Special Features:
- Never miss opportunity for Mama'sGrampsDined on 8/30/2014My wife and I visit San Luis Obispo three to four times a year and make Mama's a must stop. We are never disappointed. Great food, great service and great ambiance.Special Features:
- Local gemJeanDined on 8/23/2014This is a stellar restaurant in all respects...food, service, and ambiance!Special Features:
- RoccoDined on 8/16/2014We dine here because the food is always predictably very good. On our last visit, the room was very noisy and it was difficult to hear our conversations, but that must mean business is good! We will continue to patronize Mama's Meatballs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Nice AtmosphereCtbrettDined on 8/15/2014Some of the better Italian restaurants I've been to. Portions not large, but big enough to not walk away hungry. Service was good, but could have been a bit quicker for ordering. Ambiance was quaint and nice, but small interior and no waiting area kept it from getting 5 stars. Enjoyed the food very much, and they were generous with the braided bread, which was very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a favoriteJohnW90Dined on 8/15/2014Went here for husbands birthday and had a wonderful meal. Service was great and they even brought out a dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday to him. Have never been disappointed with the service or food here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous foodTiaMiaOhMyDined on 8/9/2014This was our first visit to Mams's and WOW! We will definitely go back. We both ordered different nightly specials. One was an ahi tuna and the other was a filet. We also had the zucchini app...delish! We finished with a shared piece of Tiramirsou and black regular coffee. Wonderful meal, wonderful evening. It's a little loud in the open restuarant so if you're wanting a "romantic" intimate dinner this is not your place but if you want GREAT food, GREAT service and hussle and bussle around you, you'll LOVE this handsomely priced hideaway!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb!RCmountain1Dined on 8/7/2014Mama's was recommended to us by friends when we asked where we could find the best Italian food in SLO. Wow, were they right! Our whole family raved about the experience... We all wanted to return the next day. You won't be disappointed....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic ItalianPaulyDined on 8/5/2014Charming and attentive service like being entertained by friends. The food from the fresh mozzarella & speck to the meatballs, pizza, homemade ravioli, sea bass, the lightest & creamiest cannoli ever and the lattes was as good as anything we've had in Italy as well as our native Arthur Ave in the Bronx! Wish I were not on vacation and could go there regularly. It would be a sin of omission to be in the SLO area and not dine at Mama's Meatball!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic Italianyummy124Dined on 7/30/2014My favorite SLO Italian stop, and my family visiting in town loved it!Special Features:
- slorhpDined on 7/30/2014the service was attentive and pleasant. on this occasion the lasange appeared to be reheated and a bit flat in flavor...perhaps it'd been frozen. the linguini pasta was not al dente but overcooked and mushy. having dined at Mama's meatball many times this meal wasn't up to par and usually the food preps are much better.Special Features:
- Quaint ItalianDishesDined on 7/27/2014Reminds me of quaint restaurants in small towns around Italy. There were only 2 waiters servicing the entire place so don't expect rushed or hurried service, much like Italy. Great food. Especially great gluten free. One of the best GF pizza crusts I've had. I spoke with chef before leaving and was told that the flour mix was shipped from Italy. Love that commitment to quality product!Special Features:
- JudyVIPDined on 7/23/2014We are new to the SLO area and are starting to explore restaurants. We had the knots based on recommendations on open table and they were great. We had veal scallopini and a baked pasta. The pasta was excellent - it had eggplant in it also which gave it a perfect taste - different than other baked pastas that we've had. the veal tasted good but it was a little too thick. The Caesar salad was ok but I would probably recommend a different salad. Our server was very pleasant, informative and professional. I'm sorry that I didn't catch his name. The restaurant is small but very inviting and despite the small space, the tables are private.Special Features:
- More than MeatballsartcDined on 7/20/2014This restaurant has been in SLO for years, has a loyal following and the food quality is excellent. So is the service. My wife has special needs and they are accommodating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and WineChrisDined on 7/19/2014Having lived in Italy for the past three years, the food at Mama's Meatball reminded us being back in Tuscany! Their list of Italian wines is also very extensive and the wait staff is very attentive. We will defiantly be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/19/2014Amazing service and food, extremely cute little restaurant that has great lighting and is casually romantic. Food is EXCELLENT. The butternut squash ravioli is extremely savory and much more filling than I expected. WaitSpecial Features:
- Great Place for a Family NightMominabookDined on 7/15/2014With their varied menu, there's something for everybody from picky kids to vegetarians. The waiters were patient, the food was great, and we had a really good time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unexpected delightMPboVIPDined on 7/11/2014Great find ! Food excellent would go there again when I am in town!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian Food EverNoland4foodDined on 7/9/2014We were on vacation in SLO and wanted Italian food and oh my gosh, did we find it!!! This was the best italian food EVER with good prices and great service!!! From the Meatballs to the lasagna and of course who could forget the Garlic Knot bread, ALL WONDERFUL!!! Best sauce I have ever tasted. We also indulged in Mama's homemade ricotta cheesecake (so light, not to sweet and of course scrumptious), and the homemade gelato, what can we say except DELICIOUS!!! Atmosphere was cozy and very inviting. We will go back when we return to SLO.Special Features:
- Great Food!lovetoeatDined on 7/5/2014We love Mama's Meatball. Every time we are in San Luis Obispo, we always dine at Mama's Meatball. We love the food and of course their desserts as well and the staff are super friendly. This visit was even more memorable because we had the pleasure of meeting "Mama" and that made our dining complete.Special Features:
- Always OutstandingOutstandingDined on 6/28/2014Moma's Meatball is a special place for us. The waiters are great and the food is too. We always look forward to dining at Moma's Meatball.Special Features:

- Excellent & authentic Italian Foodjp4019Dined on 6/18/2014Plenty of selections, attention to detail by chef and maitre d; best to have reservations if arriving for evening meal after 7pm. Next door, from same kitchen is a take out service, handy of restaurant full and you must have Italian dishes.. parking available, in a court tucked away from street.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We've discovered the BEST Italian!Just4UsDined on 6/15/2014We celebrated our son's graduation with supper at Mama's Meatballs and it was everything we hoped it to be in Italian dinning. Amazing food...we'll be back soon, thank you !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lucky FindRinSBVIPDined on 6/13/2014We felt lucky to find such a nice Italian restaurant at the last minute traveling north on 101. Service is outstanding, food very good with a great selection. We will definitely be back - lots more to try!Special Features:
- JulesJulesDined on 6/5/2014There were five of us and we all found the main dishes to be delicious. Then we tried three desserts, all were fresh and wonderful. The actual restaurant is small inside but the way it was decorated made it whimsical and fun to be in. We will come back in the future.Special Features:

- Charming Italian in SLOTSilverDined on 5/11/2014First time at this restaurant and will return. On the spot service from the time we entered the restaurant until we left. Celebrated Mother's Day and my son's birthday. Enjoyed the specials and pasta dishes. All were well prepared and very tasty. My son said he will return on a date. It was a clean and nicely decorated like an outdoor French cafe. Nice place all around!Special Features:
- Great findgimmifoodDined on 5/11/2014Charming little spot with great authentic Italian dishes as well as desserts. Nice touches of sugar coated rose petals on some of the dishes. Had a very nice Mothers day brunch there. Staff and owner checked on us frequently. great people, great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodmarzfoodieDined on 5/11/2014We went to Mama's for Mother's Day lunch and had a very enjoyable and delicious meal. The service was perfect and everyone enjoyed! I believe this is family run and many of the recipes are unique. There were many specials among the extensive main menu. And yes the meatball are great. The restaurant is somewhat hidden in the Creamery, but worth the endeavor for a great meal and reasonable prices. We will definitely return on our next trip to Cal Poly. Truly a find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good Mama's MeatballBostonLocalVIPDined on 5/7/2014Couple people said service was a nightmare, but Krishna waited on us and a more mature gentlemen was there as well. We were promptly greeted, seated, had drinks, took dinner order and food arrived promptly, although dining room was mostly full. Overheard several people tell wait staff how good their meal was. Romano Chicken was TERRIFIC - amazing sauce! Chianti wait staff recommended was very nice too. Not a huge fan of west coast take on Tiramisu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Your Go To Place!WoodchuckDined on 5/7/2014Mama's is our "Go To Place" ! The food is very reasonable and always great! A very good wine list that starts in the 20's and works it's way up. The menu has a wide range but I love the seafood pasta is incredible. If you are looking for a fast dinner this is not the place for you. We celebrated our 44th here and we still like talking to each other and there is time for that. Turning tables is not their goal!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to be.badmeal1Dined on 5/3/2014I loved this eatery in the past. They changed menu and plates. The plates make the food look unappetizing. The portions are smaller and the Osso Bucco was tough, undercooked, and $24.00 for 4 bites. So disappointing with our meal and experience. We will not be back anytime soon. We will let everyone we know not to expect much if they go. Bummer! We used to really enjoy this place. Nothing last forever.Special Features:

The time spent apart,
Seems to slowly break my heart.
Together, I feel perfect,
Apart, I feel like a reject.
Looking in your eyes,
I see no lies.
Maybe you are the one,
My love for you cannot be undone.
The flame inside,
A wild ride.

Blackberry sms spy | Tutorial on the best apps to intercept Blackberry text messages
Finding an app to intercept Blackberry text messages is not difficult however if you are not careful you may end up spending hundreds of dollars when you can easily spend around $30.00 or $50.00 bucks. First thing you must note is that there is no software out that will intercept text messages exclusively. Therefore you will acquire additional functions which you may or may not desire. These include cell phone gps tracking, blackberry messenger spying, cell phone tapping and more. The more functions you have then the more you will have to pay.
However, the advantage of these additional features is that you will not have to only rely on intercepting Blackberry text messages alone. Therefore your cell phone surveillance will definitely give you a better understanding about the person you are monitoring. This is especially true with gps tracking which will allow you to know exactly where the person is located within a matter of feet. You might not even have to rely on reading someone's sms messages because knowing where someone is located may give you the proof you need.
Which software is best for intercepting Blackberry text messages?
Overall Spybubble is the best Blackberry sms spy which you can find for a Blackberry phone and at a price of just $49.99USD it is pretty hard to ignore. This software can monitor virtually 95% of the smart phones on the market including Samsung, Android, Symbian, Iphone and Windows mobile smart phones. Therefore if the person in question decided to change their mobile type you are almost be guaranteed that Spy bubble will be able to work with it.
Those are two of the main reasons why this app is currently one of top cell phone surveillance software on the market today. It features include sms interception, mobile phone gps tracking, call logging and contact book capturing. These are just the right attributes to get all the information about the person you wish to keep an eye on.

You think you'll remember to close your bar tab? And you would. 4 drinks ago.
Did you know… Four drinks for women and five drinks for men in a two hour period is binge drinking.
It takes less than you think.
This isn't a traditional campaign.
LessThanUThink is a student-based anti-binge drinking campaign consisting of advertising and public relations students at The University of Alabama through the student-run firm Capstone Agency. The campaign focuses on college campuses and reaches out to students through humorous messages that emphasize the negative social consequences of binge drinking. Funded by the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, the campaign was launched in 2010 on The University of Alabama campus. Due to the high success rate of phase 1, LessThanUThink has decided to take the campaign nationwide, with additional funding from the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association on behalf of the Alabama Alcohol Beverage Control Board.
Shaquille O'Neil partnered with the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to film a public service announcement to raise awareness of the national problem of college-aged binge drinking. You may not want to tell your friends that they've had just a little too much to drink, so let Shaq do it. Forward the PSA to them. After all, who would dare not listen to Shaq!

Fans Petition For Tennant To Raise The Torch
It might have been one of the most cringe-worthy moments of Nu-Who but this hasn't stopped fans from petitioning for it to become a reality.
Over 5000 people have signed on the dotted line to see David Tennant carry the 2012 Olympic torch dressed as the Tenth Doctor- recreating the finale of series two episode Fear Her.
The Facebook page certainly has a long time to generate support and is currently looking for new ways to get more fans interested (hmm…if only there was a website which could link to it? Oh well)
As landmark numbers are hit the site is rewarding signators with fan made videos celebrating all things Who such as: Tenth Doctor: The Musical, Series 1-5 Ultimate Trailer, a Series One trailer, a Sherlock/Doctor Who mash up and a fan made trailer of the 2010 Christmas Special.
Fear Her has the dubious distinction of being the lowest ranking episode of the new run in Doctor Who Magazine's The Mighty 200 – reaching 192nd place.
To relive the moment and decide whether you want to see it a reality head over to the iPlayer before it disappears this Friday.
You can sign the petition right here.
10 Responses to Fans Petition For Tennant To Raise The Torch
I love this episode! Yes please, David Tennant!
This would be awesome! people will love it and if not, oh well make us Whovian's happy!
Gods, this would make my life. Seriously.
Making fiction a reality for everyone!…and foreseeing the future
Let's do it in reverse. Let's take the film of whichever athlete actually carries the torch, and then edit it in to 'Fear Her' to replace the Doctor, and release it as a new edition that's been mercifully relieved of the worst moment in the modern show's history . . .
There's a couple different petitions. I saw one that has over 30,000 signatures.
David Tennant must carry the olympic torch or we risk tearing a hole through the fabric of time.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by SRJ8310 Good shoe but missing advertised features Just recieved the Club C R12 in black/rivet grey/white from shop.reebok.com yesterday (7/24/2013). While I like the shoe, mostly because I'm a long time Reebok Classics fan, the shoe I recieved is not the same "version" as the one pictured on the website. Two of the things I really liked about the shoe pictured on the website were the tongue style and the "checkered" pattern around the shoe opening. They are actually the reasons I bought these shoes. I have 9 pairs of classics, and none of them have this style. Unfortunately the shoe I recieved did not have either of these "features", but instead has the features of the navy/white version of the same shoe. If you're looking at this shoe because you like the same features as I did, just be aware that you may recieve something a little different than expected. Still a good looking classic though, wearing them right now. 7/25/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DawgDocK It's about time! I've been looking at these shoes for a good many years and I finally made the plunge. The shoes arrived in record time and I slipped them on my feet as quickly as possible and I thought one of my toes on my right foot say, "It's about time!". And so it is. 3/12/14

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ludvig I like it.... I do like Reebok "tennis" pairs.. Had 3 pairs over here and 2 in Europe. Started to look for the replacement about 6 months back, Didn't find any at local stores. Finally, went to the Internet and bought a pair. Then, shortly after that bought 3 more pairs. Lou 5/5/14

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Jonesey001 Great Product, But Runs Narrow These are great tennis shoes, and I'd love to buy 'em all the time. Unfortunately, they run "narrow," not just a little, but a lot, so you have to buy at least one size larger in length to get 'em wide enough. Should have widths available. 3/26/14

November 2004 |
Soaring costs of health benefits have employers grappling with what to do about the retiree health benefit plans they sponsor. Is it logical to sustain current plans when employers often have virtually no control over the escalation of costs, and inflation is historically high and persistent? Retiree health benefits are in jeopardy as many employers curtail or eliminate them. What does the future hold for retiree health benefits at colleges and universities? How does the demographic composition of the workforce and burgeoning retiree faculty population influence strategic planning? Does the new Medicare legislation offer some relief for employers through Health Savings Accounts? Does less generous retiree health insurance coverage reduce the incentive to retire?
The TIAA-CREF Institute, the American Council on Education, and NACUBO convened a panel of experts to discuss the impact of retiree health insurance on faculty retirement decisions.

Four Companies Providing Major Signs of Confidence
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There is one fact we can't deny: Companies that pay high yields have been rewarded in this volatile market, as investors seek safety. Furthermore, a company that returns capital to its shareholders is honored with high ratings and institutional ownership, compared to those that do not.
Below I have included four companies with what I consider to be major dividend related announcements. This includes increasing the price of dividends, special one-time dividends, and newly issued dividends. These are companies that might be attractive investments as we enter what might be a very volatile month in December.
- Real estate company, SL Green Realty Corp (NYSE: SLG), declared on Tuesday a $0.33 quarterly dividend. The company's prior dividend was $0.25, therefore representing an increase of 32%. The company's current yield sits at 1.35%, but with its 32% increase, the company has a forward yield of 1.78%. The company's ex-dividend date is Dec. 31, payable on Jan. 15. The company's stock has recently fallen from 52-week highs over $85, currently trading at $74.00. It is a fast-growing company, but is also a bit pricey with a price/sales of 4.63. The increase in yield might serve as an incentive to investors, that this is a strong company that cares and is willing to return more capital to its shareholders.
- Alexandria Real Estate Equities (NYSE: ARE) currently pays its shareholders with a yield of 3.12%. But after Monday's increase of 6%, the company's forward yield now sits at 3.30%. The company increased its dividend by $0.03 to $0.56/share. The company's record date is Dec. 31 and its payable date is Jan. 15. This move continues to keep ARE as one of the best yields in its industry.
- Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) continues to be one of the better large cap pharma companies in the market in both returns from stock and in yield. The company has returned gains of 32.3% in the last year, yet still maintains a yield of nearly 4%, at 3.83%. The company increased its yield by 2.38% on Tuesday, making its forward yield 3.89%. This move was a bit unexpected, as the company had previously kept its quarterly dividend at $0.38 from 2004 till 2011, before increasing it to $0.42. Now, the company has once again increased the quarterly payout to $0.43, which although small, should serve as a big boost to investor sentiment.
- McCormick & Company (NYSE: MKC) might not get the same recognition as companies such as Chipolte, Buffalo Wild Wings, or Panera Bread, but since its IPO there hasn't been too many stocks that have traded more consistent. The company has returned gains of 36.5% over the last year, and has a yield of 1.91%. But on Tuesday it announced a 9.6% increase in its quarterly payout, from $0.31 to $0.34, and a forward yield of 2.10%. Much like the others on this list, McCormick's decision is a big sign of confidence and should create additional support for its stock as we enter what could be a volatile month.
Any time a company raises its dividend it is a big sign of confidence and is reassuring to the market. However, now more than ever, with the fiscal cliff approaching, it's almost shocking that companies would up the ante, especially in the cases of McCormick and SL Green. Both are companies that rely heavily on strong economic conditions and consumer sentiment for continued strength. Merck is in a business where it will grow regardless of the economy, however it did not increase its yield to the same degree. Looking ahead, investors might be looking for safe havens in the month that lies ahead, and the companies on this list might have just indirectly proved that their fundamentals, and growth, is stronger than ever, regardless of a fiscal crisis.

Showing 11 through 20 of 34 reviews
First 1/4 average. Second 1/4 ok. Third very uneven burn. Had to burn off uneven part. Last 1/4 burn better, milder and good. Score 1-5 about a 2 1/2. I wouldn't rebuy. There are too many out there much better.Peter in Virginia Beach July 22, 2011
"Excellent-one of my favorites!!!"
I smoke other cigars but always manage to work in at least one CAO Gold each week. They are definitely high on my list of very good cigars.Reggie in Poplarville, MS June 25, 2011
"Nice mild cigar- good for anytime"
This is a nice mild cigar. Good to keep in the humidor for those odd times, or for the buddy who comes over and is not a regular smoker.Matthew Wells in Massachusetts November 15, 2010
"Disappointed - Bitter and Green"
Being fond of CAO, I was disappointed with these. First cigar had a big swath of green running through the wrapper! And the taste of the cigars matches that greenness. Doesn't taste like the tobacco was aged at all. Too bitter. Burns uneven, as most CAO cigars tend to do. Could have fooled me into thinking this was a $1 bundle cigar.Stephen Thomas in Grand Prairie, TX November 11, 2010
"New Fave."
Honestly, it's my new favorite cigar. it smoked like a dream.T.e.Cs in Toledo, Ohio October 22, 2010
"A great finish to the evening"
It was me, the evening stars, natures? music, and my CAO Gold Robusto. This was a great finish to a peaceful day. This CAO complimented the evenings end with its smooth mildly sweet and nutty flavor. The smoke was bit shallow leaving me wanting, but this was countered by its lingering enjoyable flavor. The draw was unobstructed and effortless. The burn was a bit distracting, I had to correct twice and relight once. But overall it was a pleasant smoke to recap the day and lead me to the nights end.lareza in Hunstville,AL August 9, 2010
"Call it Mello Yellow. thats right!!!"
Truly a classic from CAO, a very Smooth cigar, excellent in burn and ease of draw, top of the world looks and construction, mild at best but with lots of flavors, great starting smoke for anyone well worth the priceKen in Sammamish Washington July 15, 2010
Had a couple of spots on the wrapper, but the smooth taste made up for it. This was one of the best mild smokes. will pick up a box next time.Yee in MN April 24, 2010
"Not a good cigar"
I wanted to like this cigar, I just didn't. It doesn't have much of a taste at all and is almost like smoking air. It burns well, but overall is just a bad cigar. Maybe that's because I have been smoking Davidoff's recently, but I doubt it.Hector in San Francisco February 14, 2010
"Not bad but...."
This is an OK cigar but not very tasty. Produced a rich smoke but no taste. Draw a little tight for my taste and the burn was not very even. I like mild to medium cigars but this was a little too mild for me.Xavier in Georgia July 2, 2009

Hawaii Business Magazine's 20 for the Next 20: People to Watch 2012
20 emerging leaders in local businesses, nonprofits, government, education and law
(page 10 of 21)
Photo: Courtesy of Lynn Araki-Regan
LYNN ARAKI-REGAN age 41
Attorney, Araki-Regan & Associates LLC
friend once gave her the nickname, "Legally Brunette."
Along with the fact that Lynn Araki-Regan takes her Chihuahua, the well-dressed "Chacha Gucci Regan" to work every day, there is another similarity between this Maui native and the movie character with a similar nickname: They both get things done.
As an attorney and a community leader, Araki-Regan seems to rise to every challenge that comes her way. Whether she's serving on the boards of the Japanese Cultural Society and Maui Chamber of Commerce, or organizing the Kiwanis Club of the Valley Isle's "Keiki Fest 2012," she often provides a helping hand.
"As a visionary, Lynn possesses an insurmountable amount of energy and drive that allows her to accomplish her goals for the community," says longtime friend Herman Andaya, who is chief of staff for Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa. "She has inspired many to follow her lead and strive not only to become leaders in their profession, but to equally strive to become leaders in our community."
No project is too big or too small. When she, her husband, Keith Regan, Maui's managing director, and Andaya realized that Maui needed an online community calendar, CalendarMaui.com quickly became a reality.
"We were so involved in a variety of activities that we would often find that organizations had conflicting events," explains Araki-Regan. "Our intent was for them to publicize their events early so other groups could see what was already scheduled."
She solicits submissions and every day updates the calendar, which is used by residents and visitors alike.
She says one of her most satisfying projects was helping victims of last March's Japanese tsunami. Together, the Regans and two friends from California launched "The Aloha Initiative."
"We raised $160,000 from scratch and reached out to residents of the Tohoku region who were deeply affected by the tsunami and radiation, and connected 100 of them with host families on Oahu and Maui for up to 11 weeks. The host families, volunteers and sponsors really made it happen. We just got the ball rolling."

Another chapter has been added to the Ilya Kovalchuk saga as the NHL Players' Association has filed a grievance on behalf of the Russian superstar who had his controversial 17-year, $102 million contract with the New Jersey Devils rejected by the league.
The Players' Association announced their intentions in a statement on Monday.
"The NHLPA has filed a grievance disputing the NHL's rejection of the Standard Player Contract between the New Jersey Devils and Ilya Kovalchuk. Under the terms of the CBA, the NHLPA and Mr. Kovalchuk are entitled to an expedited resolution of this matter. The NHLPA will have no further comment until this matter has been resolved by an Arbitrator."
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly issued a statement on the grievance on behalf of the league.
"We have received formal notice that the NHLPA is grieving the League's rejection of Ilya Kovalchuk's contract with the New Jersey Devils. Although there is no defined timetable at this point, we intend to work with the Players' Association to ensure an expeditious resolution of this dispute. The League looks forward to the opportunity to establish its position before the arbitrator. We will have no further public comment pending completion of the process."
While the 27-year old Kovalchuk made headlines for signing what would have been the longest contract in NHL history, the NHL made some of their own announcing that they had rejected the deal on the grounds that it "deliberately circumvented" the league's salary cap.
The next step is for an arbitrator to rule on the outcome. Should the arbitrator rule in favour of Kovalchuk and the Players' Association, then the deal will stand; however if the arbitrator sides with the NHL, then Kovalchuk would once again become an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign with any team.
Unfortunately for hockey fans, the resolution will not be immediate as there is currently no arbitrator in place. Once both sides agree upon an arbitrator, that person would then have 48 hours from the time that they are hired to rule on the case.
Should Kovalchuk once again become a free agent, he will have no shortage of suitors. The Los Angeles Kings and the New York Islanders have both reported interest in the Russian sniper while SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL have also reportedly offered him an enormous multi-year deal to return to Russia. Kovalchuk has also already turned down a 12-year extension worth $101 million from the Atlanta Thrashers before being dealt to the Devils in February just prior to the NHL Trade Deadline.
The Devils and Kovalchuk also have the ability to re-structure the deal in an attempt to avoid the process.
The sticking point in the process appears to be how front-loaded the contract was. Under the terms of the deal, Kovalchuk was set to earn $95 million over the first 10 years of the deal and then just $7 million over the last seven seasons, including a league minimum $550,000 for the final five years of the deal. Kovalchuk would be 44-years old when the pact was set to expire. To put that in perspective, newly hired Devils head coach John MacLean turned 45 this past November.
The NHL may well be in for a big fight as over the past few seasons they have reluctantly approved long-term, front-loaded deals to Marian Hossa, Chris Pronger, Henrik Zetterberg and Roberto Luongo. It is largely believed that the NHL has decided to take a stand with Kovalchuk as the first shot across the bow by the League as they prepare to re-negotiate the collective bargaining agreement which expires in 2011.
Kovalchuk had 41 goals and 44 assists in 76 games split between the Devils and Thrashers last season. The 2004 Rocket Richard Trophy winner is considered one of the elite goal scoring talents in the league with 338 goals and 304 assists in 621 games.
Originally selected first overall by the Thrashers in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Kovalchuk was acquired from Atlanta along with Anssi Salmela and a 2nd-round draft pick for Niclas Bergfors, Johnny Oduya, Patrice Cormier and a 1st-round and a 2nd-round draft pick in 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"I wasn't sure how the chalkboard effect would come across on these sticker tags, but it looks great! We attached these to small bottles of bubble soap as party favors. A huge hit!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I apply these stickers on order receipts to say "thank you"--the stickers are cheerful & give the order a personal touch! Love them!"
"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"
