Shot in arm for biotechnology in region
New and existing biotechnology companies in the Lehigh Valley got a shot in the arm from the Commonwealth on April 3 when Governor Mark Schweiker announced that the state would use tobacco settlement funds to support a Life Science Greenhouse designed to advance biotechnology research and its applications for new companies and products.
Lehigh will share in the $32.8 million grant over five years, said David Williams, vice provost for research. The university will provide research resources and educational programs, and will leverage the industrial expertise of the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation and the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of North Eastern Pennsylvania to join with the research strengths of Penn State Hershey and University Park.
"Among the strengths that we bring to this multi-faceted partnership is the largest electron microscope facility of any college in the country – one also used by faculty and students from Penn State on a regular basis," said Williams. "We offer the longest running satellite distance-education programs in the nation, delivering master's degrees in molecular biology and biopharmaceuticals to Merck, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and other pharmaceutical giants. We have expanding research programs in biochemistry and neuroscience and a new undergraduate major in bioengineering."
Schweiker said the new program was expected to create 4,400 jobs, attract or create 100 biotechnology companies, and leverage more than $150 million in private investment over the next five years.
Ned Heindel, professor of chemistry, said the greenhouse will complement the Ben Franklin program at Lehigh, which has helped launch local companies like Orasure, Digestive Care Inc. and Biomed Sciences Inc.

Addressing concerns from groups worried about the future of the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the Swiss architect's amorphous design for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art slides away from them and across Wilshire Boulevard.
Looking back over the past 10 years of jobs data, the construction and architecture sectors of the economy are both still well below their peak employment numbers. They are finally starting to pull up from their nadir, but there's a long way to go to reclaim the ground lost in the Great Recession.
Looking over the numbers from the last job report of last year, the construction sector of the economy had wildly mixed months of job growth, the only constant in the industry being residential work.
Compared to the rest of the economy, the architectural and engineering services sector did well, adding jobs in all but one month for 2013.
The AIA released October's billings numbers with the usual positive news. The design industry has now seen growth for 14 of the last 15 months.
For the fifth month in a row, and for eight of the past nine months, the latest Architecture Billings Index (released in mid-October by the American Institute of Architects) shows growth in demand for the design and construction industry. All regions and sectors also report more billings, yet again.
According to the U.S. Labor Department in their belated monthly employment report, the United States economy added an underperforming 148,000 jobs in September, underneath even the bottom end of expert's expectations. Architects and engineers gained 800 jobs, and the construction industry added 20...
According to payroll company ADP and their partner Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy added 166,000 jobs in September. The construction industry added 16,000 jobs and the professional/business services sector added 27,000 jobs.
For nearly the entire past year, the Architecture Billings Index has shown growth in demand for the design and construction industry, signaling a design industry whose footing is on much more stable ground than in the recent past.
According to the U.S. Labor Department, the United States economy added 169,000 jobs in August, slightly below expert's expectations. Architects and engineers, however, lost jobs, and the construction industry sees no change at all.

text: The setup for this shot is very simple, just a white seamless paper background, and one light. It is the emotion shared by these two sisters that makes this photo so very special. It's so subtly intense and beautiful. This goes to show that just having a very technically correct shot is not all. People want to see emotion, feeling, personality. That's what makes a photograph timeless!

Tourism and Sustainability
New Tourism in the Third World, 2nd Edition
By Martin Mowforth, Ian Munt
Routledge – 2003 – 384 pages
Routledge – 2003 – 384 pages
First published in 2003. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
'This book should be compulsorary reading for all those engaged in tourism research' - Tourism Concern
`It should be required reading for all tourism adacemics..one of the most significant books produced on tourism in the past few years.' - Annals of Tourism Research
'…it succeds where many others have tried and failed - in creating a truly multi-disciplinary text that places tourism and sustainabitlity firmly within its social, economic and political context…the book is to be thoroughly recommended, it provides value for money and will be a worthwhile addition to tourism libraries and a key point of reference for any course on the subject.' TESG Vol 90, no 2, 1999
"…goes beyond the call for alternative tourism, and presents a far-reaching, timely and quite penetrating critique of some of the forms of tourism that have emerged as a direct response to the clarion call for sustainable tourism development", Journal of Development Studies, Vol 35, June 1999
'Tourism and Sustainability possesses two main strengths. The first is the inclusion of a strong theoretical base, which is presented in an accessible manner, dealing in its own way with the often theory poor literature produced on tourism topics. The use of a range of case studies throughout the chapters makes the book very readable, and clarifies complex issues for those unfamiliar with the area, without over simplifying the issues. Mowforth and Munt's volume could be expected to become an essential text in the area of sustainable tourism, especially for the Third World world. - Tourist Studies
'Both the authors deserve congratulations for posing a hard question that tourism and sustainability in the present set-up appear to be incompatible. Inspired by their thesis, the reader expects a rejoinder on how to make Third World tourism sustainable.' - Tourism Recreation Research

Company DetailsUpdate
FitStar is on a mission to inspire people to live healthier lives by creating innovative health and fitness apps.
The idea is that a great personal training experience on a mobile device should start at a customized level that is comfortable for everyone from a total n00b to someone who regularly works out almost every day of the week. From there, it should be able to help people level up or keep up with a regular workout routine even when they're traveling. Unlike DVDs and videos, which are passive, the iPad can respond to a person's changes in their workout habits. It can send reminders or offer custom combinations of exercises to meet their goals.

What is the estimated delivery time?
Sellers generally procure and ship the items within the time specified on the product page. Business days exclude public holidays and Sundays.

Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
It is possible that the Seller or our courier partners observe a holiday between the day you placed your order and the date of delivery, which is based on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored in to the delivery dates.
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
'In Stock'
For items listed as "In Stock", Sellers will mention the delivery time based on your location pincode (usually 2-3 business days, 4-5 business days or 4-6 business days in areas where standard courier service is available). For other areas, orders will be sent by Registered Post through the Indian Postal Service which may take 1-2 weeks depending on the location.
The Seller might not have the item in stock but can procure it when an order is placed. The delivery time will depend on the estimated procurement time and the estimated shipping time to your location.

The filter works well with my Nikon 55-300m lens. Does what it needs to and protects my lens. Has the option of attaching polarisers and ND filters as well without having to remove the UV filter. A must for lenses to protect the lens against accidental scratches, dust and fingerprints. Good build quality.
You could go ahead and buy a premium UV filter for 4 times the cost but frankly its not worth it. This filter is so clear that it took me a minute to figure out there was a piece of glass on the metal ring. Yeah the ring isn't flimsy plastic but appears to be metallic or porcelain sort. It make quite a bit difference to my pictures especially on early morning foggy days. Don't expect it to miraculously make it vanish though. Its good enough for EF-S lens as other pricier but better UV filters will cost you 1/4 th the lens's cost .
Kenko 58mm UV filter is awesome and the price is not much when compared to other filters in the market.
UV filters protects the glass on your lens from scratching
If sand/mud is blowing the filter will stop it from sticking to the glass
The filter can be removed and cleaned quickly and easily
The filter often helps weatherproof the lens (on the Nikon DX series for example)
Sometimes glare from the sun can spoil your images
Adding filters can cause a vignette to appear on your photos.
It might stop you from being able to use a lens hood
It is a wise initial investment and protects your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. It is multicoated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.
Good choice for digital photography
If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection.
It does the job of not interfering with image quality fairly well, provided you're using it in a well lit environment.
In low light, it's another story: when doing street photography at night, I very often get some annoying green flare from the street lig... (Expand)
As usual good packaging and timely delivered by Flipkart. Perfect fit for my Nikon 55-300 mm lens. Same picture quality in the day light though I still have to test it in the night conditions. Mainly bought for protecting my lens from scratches

A new fetish: Sexy underwater girls in knee-high socksWritten by: Tadashi Anahori on July 30, 2013 at 11:38 pm | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss »
Like girls in knee-high socks? Tick.
Like girls in swimsuits? Tick.
Then you will definitely like Underwater Knee-High Girls by Manabu Koga, a photobook that goes on sale at the end of August.
Why have one fetish when you can have two?
Koga is known for underwater photography, such as in the Mika Ninagawa film Helter Skelter.
Koga's project features around 100 photos of smiling and alluring ladies underwater while wearing the cosplayer's favorite kind of footwear.
So what do you think? Is this aquatic malarkey sexy?

Nintendo have announced that three new DSi colours are being introduced to Europe next month.
From October 23rd, you can get your hands on the new shades of Metallic Blue, Light Blue and Red, which are great additions to the original colour line up of black or white.
The new coloured DSi consoles also come pre-installed with a Facebook uploading tool and the new Flipnote Studio. The Facebook tool will allow you to post photographs from your DSi straight to your Facebook profile, while Flipnote Studio lets you create mini-movies to upload to Flipnote Hatena.
In addition to the excitement of new colours is the bonus of 1000 free Nintendo DSi points for those who access the DSi Shop through Nintendo Wi-Fi via their DSi.
The release of the new colours co-incides with the release of Nintendo Presents: Style Boutique, so that date will be a stylish one for Nintendo and the DSi.

TiVo alert! SportSouth is airing Tommy Glavine's "In My Own Words" biography special at 4pm EDT tomorrow, March 23, 2008.
unrelated, but wondering if you'd seen this:
Yeah, I heard about it while I was out this afternoon — I'm working on a post for it now. Thanks!
Ah, LT! You never told us you got to keep the Bullpen Bag! How sweet! ;)
I would think that line about EOF has to be made up or the author meant a different person- I imagine we wold have heard someone mention it if he was diabetic…it is odd though
Aren't you hilarious! Trust me, if I had one of the bullpen bags I'd post a picture immediately!
And the EO thing – I googled quite a bit and can't find anything. So odd, right?
You can't believe everything you read… the official reports during the season were that he was "fine" and regained "all" his weight, but the latest news from the Braves is that EO has regained 25 lbs and he never got fully healthy during the season. ;)
"I enjoy tryin' to make those guys look as good as I can."
Tim Hudson ~ 4/18/11
Many girls watch baseball differently than guys do. The goal here is to increase Braves fandom by posting entertaining pictures and stories about the best team in the major leagues. ❤

I was asked to make a relish tray for a cocktail party, but since relish trays weren't really my thing, I had to find something that would be easy yet impressive. Well, this recipe was a huge hit. Not only was it impressive, but it was simple to make the day before, and bring to the cocktail party in a fancy dish. A few weeks later I was asked by the same hostess to make the dish again because everyone loved it, only this time I doubled the recipe. I used jarred pitted olives, other than that, I made it exactly as written. Doubling the recipe makes a ton of olives but if you're going to a big gathering, it is terrific. I served it with crackers and bread sticks. I didn't try it yet, but I plan to try this again only chopping the olives to make a tapenade to spread over crusty french bread.

What do you think of Ocean View from Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed?
What's up, everyone?
I absolutely adore this mix! Someone showed it to me on the stream one afternoon, and I was so pleased with it! It's upbeat, it's fun, and it really shows off the modern dance era. Richard Jacques did a great job with what I've heard from this soundtrack. I like the replacement of synths in where the vocals would be, and that fantastic drum beat that goes through the whole thing, that ties both "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" and "Super Sonic Racing" together. The auxiliary bits are a treat, some of them throwing back to when these songs were originally composed. All of the synth work, backing the melody, it's all fantastic, and the transitions are nearly seamless—even the Super Sonic Racing one, because it does change key from the first section to the first chorus (lots of sneaky key changes in the R soundtrack!). This is great!

227 N. Dutchman Creek Rd.
Ridgeway, SC 29130
Charlie (Charlotte) Rossi's only inheritance from her estranged Uncle Mike is Run for the Roses, a stallion her deceased uncle claims is magic. Though what Charlie finds when she visits her horse is veterinarian Dr. Wade Phillips and his mesmerizingly blue eyes. Within weeks, Charlie purchases a ranch in Cave Creek, Arizona, quits her advertising job, sells the New York condo, and heads west in her little BMW convertible. Roses-now heartier and some how younger looking-anxiously awaits her arrival at Wade Phillips' veterinary stables. Meanwhile, Charlie's cousin, Tony Lambini-aka the short dude from New York and the sorriest Mafia member ever-plots to steal Roses. While tailing Cousin Charlie cross country, Tony gains a hitchhiker, Chief Flying Eagle, who demands Tony take him to his reservation in Phoenix.
In New Mexico, Charlie picks up Bluebird Smith, an eighteen-year-old Apache running away heading to California with her Great Dane, Tiny. Charlie's plans sound like adventure to Bluebird and she detours her life to Cave Creek and takes up residence with Charlie in her quaint-but-somewhat-cramped apartment above a barn. Once in Phoenix, Tony makes his move for Charlie's magical horse, with the "help" of the chief's nephew, Mad Coyote Joe. Charlie has more than Cousin Tony to worry about when she falls under the "spell" of cowboy and woman-chaser, Jeff Olsen. Jeff's spell includes dumping her friends and her responsibilities to Roses for dance halls and two-stepping. Charlie's fun-filled nights carry a price and her magical stallion begins to age once again. She is reminded that if she fails to choose the right man, Roses will die. And Doctor Wade Phillips decides he's had enough of Jeff Olsen.
Billie Rutledge Bierer was born in Texas, grew up in Pennslyvania and moved with her parents to Arizona in the 60's.
Being a flower child was out for her. As a teenager, she fell in love with the West and became a cowgirl.

Will we ever know enough?
The accumulation of knowledge defines us as human. Each epoch adds a new layer of knowledge. It builds on the thoughts of past generations. The proliferation of knowledge does not have a direction, a finite capacity, or a definitive goal, . It simply exists in context to itself.
In essence knowledge is only limited by our imagination. In the entire history of knowledge we have never had the ability to find immutable truths. Yet it continues to accumulate.
Is there some point when we should cease to accumulate knowledge and simply live our lives by deepening the understanding of the knowledge we possess?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 11 2013: Here's another thought…when people take a vacation they often reduce their lives to the essential reality of their rustic cabin? (of course they feel guilty because they've disconnected from the flow of information)
So now extrapolate this to sometime in the near future when we have satiated our needs and have only endless wants…how are we going to annex ourselves from the insatiable need to change simply to sustain the infrastructure of change?
Or is change infinitely necessary? (After all the universe doesn't change as much as it transforms from one state to another within a finite set of probabilities.)

I've been a racist since at least the age of seven. While my mother and brother sat through his fifth-grade orientation, I was forced to wait and entertain myself with only a notebook, some broken crayons and a chalkboard in a tucked away corner of the middle school library. I was an avid reader, but being on the verge of first grade, the big kid books that surrounded me were daunting–I could only fantasize about the illustrated young reader books I was familiar with at that time.
A partial word from one story that I had read recently stuck in my mind because I found it funny, but unfortunately it was only the suffix of what turned out to be "Piggers," one of the characters of the story. I could not come up with the first letter for the life of me and was strangely methodical, so I decided to write the letters I did know on the chalkboard and file through consonants alphabetically until I reached the one that sounded correct. Here and there I would take a moment with letters that seemed to fit before moving on, but I deliberated a little too long on "n," coinciding with the moment one of the mothers arrived late. The first thing she saw was that word and me puzzling it out. She looked at me enraged and said, "Erase that right now," so quickly and sternly I of course obeyed and just sat in my seat until it was time to go. She left within a matter of seconds to join the meeting in progress, but I had a sick feeling in my stomach, not understanding what she had been so upset about.
It was a long few months later, maybe even a year, when I saw a story on ABC News discussing "the N word" and recalled that moment. Her reaction made some sense, though I still did not comprehend the full historical context of the term and still felt guilty without understanding why. No adult had ever discussed that term with me or the history surrounding it; that's not something the American Girls series touched on even with one of my favorite characters, Addy, a former slave. I don't think we even had discussions of race in the classroom until I was in fifth grade myself and was reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
I grew up in a mostly homogenized small city an hour's drive west of Chicago that saw some diversity due to the draw of the state university. We had multi-racial classrooms but being primarily white and solidly middle-class, I don't know how impactful those conversations were–racial matters and systems of privilege seemed far removed in what we idealized as an egalitarian community but was one that obscured the divisions between white, black, Asian and Latino students. I look back now and understand how necessary and just that guilt I felt about writing that word was, and that previous efforts to feel better about being racist were to alleviate that guilt, not own it.
Racist behavior is often not intentional; in fact, it is more often borne out of assumption than acknowledged discrimination. A major flaw in anti-racist rhetoric is much of it seems centered around trying not to appear racist rather than just not actually being racist. White privilege perpetually (read: every day) benefits white people, so we benefit from racism even without electing to. And that makes us racist.
I have seen more times than I care to, in real life and online comment boards, people responding to a racially charged event or story to be careful when "throwing around the word racist;" this equates the damage done by the original oppression suffered by the marginalized individual or group to a perceived damage to someone's character. This only serves to derail the conversation and keep us all at odds, and worse, it excuses that racist behavior so no ownership is taken by the injuring party. White people: we are racists inherently by virtue of living in a system that advantages our saturation of melanin and easy assimilation. Not wanting to be racist and avoiding doing or saying things that read to us as overtly racist doesn't take the burden of responsibility off our shoulders. If your end goal is not being racist, you're not doing a good job being an ally. You're turning the focus of the dialogue back on yourself and away from listening to and advocating for others.
Don't think claiming color-blindness, or its twin "post-racial," gets you off the hook. These are tools of cultural erasure; they promote assimilation, validating a white experience for all at the expense of unique worldviews of people of color. It ignores the realities of race and how it affects class and mobility in America. The desire to want racial equality requires work and it requires being aware of how you are being treated differently from your friends of color. Color-blindness is the band-aid solution toward racial harmony, and it's one of those soggy, gross band-aids your roommate leaves behind in the shower.
There are no easy outs; in fact, there are really no outs that aren't cop-outs. Don't let the title of this piece confuse you: this isn't a how-to guide or recipe. There are not simple things you can do everyday to simply not be racist, though you should stop slinging around "ghetto," "thug," "nappy" and other appropriative words with abandon. Working toward ending systemic oppression–not racism– is about taking responsibility. Awareness of privilege is your responsibility. Listening to your friends and not trying to pacify or explain racist behavior is your responsibility. Advocating for marginalized people is your responsibility. This isn't a call to other white people to sit down and shut up; more of a sit back, listen and learn from people of color, and then advocate.
So, how can we not be racist? The answer is currently that we can't, not without major systemic changes. What we can do is check privilege, be fierce allies and call out other people when they are engaging in racist behavior, educating them in what constitutes racist behavior. I'm still a racist and I'm not trying not to be because it's not an achievable goal. What I am doing is being better to people marginalized because of race and working to understand mutual needs I can help take action on. And maybe I'll finally learn a thing or two about what is okay to write on a chalkboard.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen:
The gold and silver comex inventory levels are very interesting to say the least. The silver OI for December rests at 6,500 contracts. The amount of silver hit was about 3,040 contracts. It looks like the minimum amount of silver that will stand will be 33.5 million oz. The volume on the last day of trading at the comex registered 15,500 contracts or 2.5 x OI for the last OI for Dec which is totally unusual.
The lease rate and libor rate are identical at 2.22%. The difference in the December to March silver is around 5 cents. It does not make sense for traders to buy the Dec silver when they can buy March for a few pennies. The amount of silver that eventually will stand can be anywhere from 33 million to 50 million oz. If future traders sense trouble they will try and queue jump.
In gold, the OI for the Dec gold rests at 1.6 million oz. The amt hit was .8 million oz and the trading for the last day was about 4.5 million oz.
We still do not know how many contracts were exercised through the option side of things. All will clear on Monday. However I believe that the comex data is all suspect.
In economic news, as I have indicated above Libor rose to 2.22%. The banking channels are still clogged.
We are also witnessing a huge rise in price for the 10 year treasury. The yield has come all the way down to 2.94%/ With default rates on these bonds rising by 4 basis points (54 from 50), there is certainly no flight to quality. Not only that but the stock market rallied this past week.
There is no doubt that the Government is buying its own debt and they are ready to release the billions of printed dollars used to buy these bonds. The monetizing the debt is identical to the printing press going full tilt.

WASHINGTON — The full scope of the U.S. housing meltdown isn't clear and already there are ominous signs of a new crisis — one that could turn out the lights on malls, hotels and storefronts across the country.
Even as the holiday shopping season begins in full swing, the same events poisoning the housing market are now at work on commercial properties, and the bad news is trickling in. Malls from

That pace is expected to quicken. The number of late payments and defaults will double, if not triple, by the end of next year, according to analysts from Fitch Ratings Ltd., which evaluates companies' credit.
"We're probably in the first inning of the commercial mortgage problem," said Scott Tross, a real estate lawyer with Herrick Feinstein in
That's bad news for more than just property owners. When businesses go dark, employees lose jobs. Towns lose tax revenue. School budgets and social services feel the pinch.
Companies have survived plenty of downturns, but economists see this one playing out like never before. In the past, when businesses hit rough patches, owners negotiated with banks or refinanced their loans.
But many banks no longer hold the loans they made. Over the past decade, banks have increasingly bundled mortgages and sold them to investors. Pension funds, insurance companies, and hedge funds bought the seemingly safe securities and are now bracing for losses that could ripple through the financial system.
"It's a toxic drug and nobody knows how bad it's going to be," said Paul Miller, an analyst with Friedman
Unlike home mortgages, businesses don't pay their loans over 30 years. Commercial mortgages are usually written for five, seven or 10 years with big payments due at the end. About $20-billion (

The economy continues to falter as the Treasury and fed have no option but to buy its own debt with paper money.
This will eventually hyperinflate the economy and send us into a depression because of the high prices and low economic activity.

Prior to 1960, most children in the United States and Canada caught measles. Complications from the disease were unlikely. Previously healthy children usually recovered without incident.
In the 1960s, a measles vaccine was introduced. During the next several years, cases of the disease declined. However, a significant reduction in the severity of measles occurred long before the vaccine was introduced. For example, in 1900 there were 13.3 measles deaths in the United States per 100,000 people. By 1955 -- eight years before the first measles vaccine became available -- the death rate had declined on its own by 97.7% to .03 deaths per 100,000.(1) Data published in International Mortality Statistics shows that from 1915 to 1958 the measles death rate in the United States and United Kingdom declined by 98%.(2)

After a halting first two years, GM put the Corvette squarely on track for success with the addition of the new 265 CI V-8. The palette range was also expanded from four to six colors including Corvette Copper, which found its way onto only 15 production vehicles.
The 1955 Corvette roadster offered here is one of that exclusive group of 15 cars. It was purchased from its original owner by the present owner family in 1964, was driven for two years and then in 1966 placed in storage, where it remained until now. No restoration has been done to this Corvette; it has not been modified in any way and has all matching serial numbers on the 265 CI engine, body and Powerglide transmission. The paint, Red leather interior, chrome components, glass and lenses are all intact and original, and the odometer reads just 49,586 miles.
Its color alone makes this 1955 Corvette roadster an exceptionally rare example, but factor in the car's astounding originality and its early production number (029 of 700 built) and it takes on a whole new level of significance as an historical artifact.
- This 1955 Corvette Roadster has been in storage since fall of 1966
- Originally purchased by our family in 1964 from original owner
- The car has not been modified in any way and has matching serial numbers on the body, engine, and transmission
- Still runs
- Odometer reading is believed to be true from original purchase
- The original ragtop is included with the side curtains
- No restoration has been done
- The interior is the original leather
- Reportedly, only 15 Corvettes were sold in 1955 with this Corvette Copper color
- The original chromed fittings on the engine are intact
- All glass and light lenses are good
- This is the 29th 1955 Roadster produced, an early production

How to Build and Maintain a Strong Credit Score
- Wednesday, August 01, 2012
If you have a high debt to credit ratio, you will raise your score if you can pay down your debt, especially credit card debt. The improvement should show up within thirty days.
Account information. Are there any accounts you don't recognize? This could be a sign of identity theft. If you see such accounts, contact those creditors directly and let them know the accounts are not yours.
Check to see if there are any late payments noted. For Experian, you want your open account status listed as "Open/Never Late." For Equifax, "Pays as Agreed." For Transunion, "Paid or Paying as Agreed."
If any accounts are listed otherwise, and you believe you have never been late with a payment, contact the creditor. Let them know you believe a mistake has been made and ask if they will change it on your credit file.
Personal information. Check to see that the following information is correct: the spelling of your name, your birth date, current and previous addresses, Social Security Number, and current and past employer information.
If you see any problems on your report, file a dispute. Instructions are on the report.
Buy Your Credit Score
Your credit reports are free; your credit score is not. There are some Web sites that offer free credit score estimates, but I recommend that you purchase your FICO score. FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation, which is the company that created the credit score and whose scores are the most widely used.
On Fair Isaac's web site, you'll have your choice of purchasing your TransUnion FICO score or your Equifax FICO score. It doesn't really matter which one you choose; just buy one for $19.95.
Credit scores range from 300 to 850. Unlike cholesterol, the higher the number the better. Ideally, you want your score to be in the mid 700s or higher.
Do the Right Thing
Credit scores have an aura of mystery. There's no end to the articles offering this strategy or that for increasing your score.
The truth is, there are two very basic steps everyone can take to build and maintain a good score: pay your bills on time and use a relatively small amount of your available credit. Focusing on those two things will go a long way toward keeping your financial reputation—your credit score—strong.
What questions do you have about credit scores?

Help! I Can't SLEEP!
Insomnia making you miserable? Here's what you can do.
Though her character on HBO's "Entourage" has everything under control, actress Debi Mazar says she has battled insomnia since her mid 20s. Luckily, the 44-year old mother of two eventually sought help and is managing her sleeplessness. We put our kids on sleep schedules, yet many of us are suffering with sleep issues, and the truth is, it affects everything in our lives. It's a very common problem in America (as many as 1 in 10 people) and is twice as likely to occur in women, especially moms.
Momlogic's sleep expert Jill Spivack says the reason why moms in particular deal with sleeplessness so much, is that "moms are hyper-alert during the night because they are conditioned to be woken by their baby or child."
How do we retrain ourselves so we can get a good night's rest? Here are some easy tips from Jill:
1. First, you need to know the reasons why you're having insomnia and address those reasons directly, so you can find solutions that best work for you. For example, are you having anxiety, stress or have you just withdrawn from a specific medicine?
2. If you do have anxiety, make sure to be with friends frequently. They help reduce anxiety when sharing your problems and stressors. It's hard to find the time when you're a mom, but can really help -- even if it's only five minutes.
3. Make a to-do list before getting into bed, so you don't think about it when your head hits the pillow. If you wake up in the middle of the night thinking, have a pad and write your thoughts down.
4. Exercise regularly, but be sure to exercise several hours before bed time and eat two to three hours before bed time
5. Keep the bedroom dark, don't watch television or read. The bed is for sex and sleep only.
6. Try to wind down before you go to bed, not as you're getting into bed. Even listening to some calming music if you don't have time for a bath can help.
7. Just like your kids -- go to sleep at the same time each night and get up at the same time.
8. Go to bed when you feel tired, not to try to GET tired. You'll just be anxious and stay awake longer.
9. Working moms: turn those Blackberrys off! Knowing it's on your night stand will only keep you up through the night.
Do you have a tip that helped you overcome insomnia? Please share in the momlogic community!

Some good tips. Also important to get sunshine, if possible, during the day and sleep in as dark a room as possible - your circadian rhythm works better that way. See more at a webpage I just built - www.natural-pain-relief-guide.com/cant-sleep.html
Some of these tips may be helpful to some people, but some may be useless. For example, many people find reading in bed helpful, some even find DVDs a good way of unwinding (like me). We all have to work out our own way with this problem—we're all very different, as I found writing INSOMNIAC. My books offers many more (original) tips picked up, talking with insomniacs.
Tip 6 suggests listening to relaxing music a bedtime. You can dowload sleep music with or without guided imagery from Dr. Steinberg's site: http:\www.insomnia123.com
What if you have the opposite problem??
Lately I've found my self exhausted by 8pm and in bed and out cold by 9pm. I Have a very hard time waking up at 5:30am. That's 8 1/2 hours of sleep so I should wake up feeling well rested but I don't. What's worse is that I feel tire throughout the day…

Oct. 5 was a day for the wiener dogs.Dachshunds and their owners celebrated Oktoberfest in Southlake Town Square with races and a costume parade.The wiener dog festivities were part of Southlake Chamber of Commerce's 12th annual fall celebration from Oct. 4-6.Dachshunds of all sizes raced along Rustin Park and those with less of a competitive spirit strutted their stuff in a costume parade. There were Dachshund cars, superheroes and even a wiener dog dressed as a hotdog.Even through rain festival goers still partook in the festivities.The weekend-long festival featured music, dance, a battle of the bands, food and beer. The fair also featured plenty of handmade arts and crafts for sale.
