So who are these self-entitled and demanding employees? They're your kids! As you struggle to keep up-to-date on the latest technological innovation and manage the relentless stream of news sound bites by the second, you also busy playing the role of your millennial kids' career coaches and life counsellors for fear that they might move back home. So where did you go wrong?
Everyone should act as a leader to make a strong environment for their business. If you are reading this, you may be a smart leader that knows how to earn money and build long-term relationships with your clients. If you analyze the key behind this kind of success you will find there is a simple answer: empathy.
Since I launched my business, executives have told me that they didn't have the time, money nor inclination to train and promote anyone other than the top 20 percent of their leadership, because that is where they believed their profits came from. Wrong. The negative financial effects of ignoring 80 percent of your workforce are as damaging as they are prevailing.
If you can master this skill our research demonstrates that you can increase trust in leadership by 9 per cent in as little as 13 weeks. What does this mean to business higher productivity? Less churn. What does the mean to politicians, the difference between losing and winning, especially in a horse race election like Ontario's.
This is a generation that cares about their community and is very motivated to make a difference. By providing opportunities to positively impact their community, you will also help them feel good about themselves and their company, which will ultimately have a profound impact on relieving their stress.
What I think is important to remember is that the twenty-somethings of the 60's weren't any different than us. They had the same advantages and disadvantages that we have -- I mean, minus iStuff. But they felt comfortable enough to get weird and be anti-establishment and fight for what they believed in. Why don't we?
While Millennials are known for being the generation of "job-hoppers," switching jobs year-to-year, data from our most recent study shows that the threat posed by high unemployment rates is starting to impact our career goals. A flashy open-concept office or extravagant signing bonus may not be what many new grads are looking for.
This is what it actually feels like to be not a girl not yet a woman. You're young enough to go out drinking on a Monday afternoon and old enough to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror the next morning. You're young enough to still wear leggings as pants but old enough to realize you really need to start doing some squats.
In every business book in every business school in the world, the mandate of business is solely to maximize profit for shareholders. The rule of the game CEOs of the last 50 years were playing was "profit at all costs." Social impact was something you considered afterwards, maybe. The baby boomers may not have considered people and planet but they raised a generation of self-actualized, mission-based children.
While these digital natives bank and manage credit cards online and through mobile apps, only one third plan to file taxes themselves using tax software. Given that taxes are like the DNA of personal finances, it's only natural that doing it themselves is the next step in managing all aspects of their pocketbook. Here are three tax tips to help Millennials take full control come tax time.
Strangely enough today's business environment reflects the internal and external struggles of illness. Businesses regularly forego profits to throw money at customer surveys, logistics, marketing, and technology to keep their customers happy. Just as your body starts to fail from constant stress or neglected disease, a business with a corporate culture that is toxic to its employees starts to shut down.
We're bringing the traditional model of mentorship into the 21st century. In five years, 50 per cent of the workforce will be made up millenials. The scary thing? There is a big disconnect between the generation that created social media and those at the top running the companies. At least until now.
Avoid really talking to each other! Talking is vastly over-rated. All it does it force you to actually hear the other's side of things and that can only lead to understanding. which makes resentment much more difficult. Circumvent occasions for pleasantries. Nothing good comes from giving the other person the benefit of the doubt.
During the 30 days leading up to Christmas students and youth aged 16 - 29 told us that they are spending more on holiday activities and gifts for others. And it doesn't end there. Most troubling for many students will be paying tuition next semester. Here are some tips from StudentAwards for how to beat the holiday spending crunch.
I stopped journalling because I got online. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I am realizing that reconnecting, thinking how to package myself and my experiences in a palatable way, and "making memories" is getting in the way of actually living them. That is the one thing that today's technology has taught me. I may be able to get information and companionship instantly, but it doesn't mean that I should.

Our company is committed to providing tenants with operationally efficient facilities and we are proud to have partnered with Carbon Lighthouse to provide economic benefits to both the tenants and owner. Carbon Lighthouse understood our sustainability goals and utilized their extensive knowledge in the energy field to identify cost effective solutions for us. We are excited to have Carbon Lighthouse review other properties we manage to reduce utility costs and carbon usage.
I gave Carbon Lighthouse a complex and ill defined problem. They helped me define the key variables and built a model that we used to work out a creative Solution. Their work was clear, concise, and convincing. I recommend Carbon Lighthouse without reservation.
Carbon Lighthouse was extremely helpful in analyzing our buildings to come up with the most cost-effective upgrades to improve energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint. We expect an excellent return on our investment in equipment upgrades and a new photovoltaic system.
I was impressed by both the quality of Carbon Lighthouse's staff and their strong enthusiasm for sustainability. They provided professional, competitive energy services, and took care of our city-mandated ASHRAE energy audit as well as other energy monitoring tasks.
It was a pleasure working with Carbon Lighthouse. They were very friendly, easy to work with, sincere, and understanding. Like a family. Now our classrooms have good light and we're going to save a lot of energy. And I learned a lot, too.
Like so many Facility Managers, I have my hands full with the day-to-day demands of maintaining a facility, so the prospect of taking on a project as large as eradicating our carbon footprint was daunting. Fortunately, Carbon Lighthouse took the bulk of the work onto their shoulders, so that the impact on my time was minimal. What a pleasant surprise it was to find that the process was painless, efficient and remarkably swift. I would happily recommend them to anyone interested in conservation.
Our Approach
We use a combination of Energy Efficiency, Onsite Generation, and Carbon Allowance Retirement to create financially attractive packages for our clients.
Using existing technology and practices to reduce carbon emissions and lower utility bills, our clients can attain carbon neutral buildings, profitably today!
Energy efficiency measures offer the quickest and most cost-effective opportunities to reduce utility bills and carbon emissions.

Legal Affairs Minor
Program Director
Anne P. Wheeler, JD
Fax: 205.934.8059
Law increasingly permeates almost every aspect of our lives, including our transportation systems, food distribution networks, and the health care system. Because law is such an important aspect of everyday life, several departments within and outside the College of Arts and Sciences at UAB offer law or law-related courses that provide students an opportunity to learn more about the law. Some of these courses are specifically designed to help students prepare for careers that in some way are involved with the law (e.g., policing, social work, counseling, or government). The Department of Justice Sciences believes it important that undergraduate students have an opportunity to learn more about law, particularly law as the subject of inquiry in a liberal arts setting.
The Legal Affairs minor currently offered by the department does not seek to specifically prepare students for law school. Instead, the program is designed to help students learn to think both critically and creatively about law. Because the program is interdisciplinary and presents law as the subject of liberal inquiry, students in the program examine law from various perspectives. The minor also provides students the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of knowledge regarding such topics as: the origins and functions of law; the basic rules of law; comparative legal systems; law as a social phenomenon; the influences and effects of the legal profession on society; and the impact of societal trends and changes on law and our various legal systems.
Additionally, the minor exposes students to both general and specific aspects of substantive and procedural law, both civil and criminal; helps them understand not only litigation, but alternatives to it; provides students the opportunity to enhance their legal research and writing skills; and facilitates student participation in the University's nationally recognized UAB Mock Trial Team.
Consisting of required courses, core electives, and other electives, the Legal Affairs curriculum is sequential, where all elective courses build upon two required courses: JS150 (Foundations of Law) and JS230 (Judicial Process). The curriculum is structured in such a way as to insure that a student can complete its requirements in a typical academic year (Fall & Summer).
To complete the minor in legal affairs you must complete 6 semester hours of required
courses; 9 semester hours of core elective courses, and an additional 3 semester hours
from a set of approved electives.
All students must complete the following required courses:
- JS 150 Foundations of Law
- JS 230 Judicial Process in America OR
- PSC 330 The American Judicial Process
Select three courses from the list of core electives.
Complete any one additional course from this course list.
Note: Under no circumstances may a student pursuing the minor earn dual credit toward his or her major and the minor by completing a course appearing in both curricula.
Students are strongly advised to refer to the UAB Undergraduate Catalog for additional information on the core curriculum, major, and minor requirements. Direct any questions to the SBS Advising Office located in Heritage Hall 510, 975-0097.

3 Days in London, England in April 2012. My wife has never been before. What should we not miss?

Depends on where you're staying but, I recommend one day for a walkabout. I usually stay on Minories by the Tower of London, but jump into the loop wherever you're staying;
Doing this from memory - haven't been back in a couple years, but...
Tower of London, then walk along the Thames to the Millenium bridge (stop at the Cathedral before going over), will bring you over to the Tate museum. From the museum, you walk over to the Eye. Over London Bridge to Big Ben, through the park to Buckingham Palace. From there you can walk up to Picadilly, and then back through the streets to Liverpool station, then down to Tower Bridge and St. Catherine's Warf.
It gives you a good overview of the city, and is doable in a day to get a taste of everything.

Well, if you're short on time and are set on riding the London Eye, I would recommend booking a Pimm's or Champagne flight, it's not that much more expensive, and you get escorted straight on board (skipping the normal folks line), AND you get some Pimm's or Champagne!
Other stuff she should probably see: Tower of London (crown jewels), Big Ben/Westminster Abbey/Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Borough Market, maybe a show? My wife and I saw Rock of Ages over the holidays in London, and it was fantastic.

So, a lot of the obvious suggestions are good ones:
- The Natural History Museum (a temple to science)
- The Tower of London (great piece of history, and the Beefeaters give great tours)
- Harrods (just for the look of the store and the food court downstairs)
- Tower Bridge (eye-candy)
- Actually, the whole walk along South Bank from Waterloo to Tower Bridge takes you past the Tate Modern, Globe Theatre (rebuilt) , London Assembly, and the replica of the Golden Hind. Lots of eye candy. You might want to catch a play in the round at the Globe or step inside the Tate for a huge space.
- British Museum (for the plunder of an empire, unfortunately the old British Library inside is still closed)
- Greenwich (check out the date line, look at the Naval museum if you wish, the Observatory museum is a bit so-so depending on current exhibits)
- St Pauls (big old church)
- Westminster cathedral (ditto)
- The London Barrier
- High tea (ask for advice on this, the one at the British Museum is fairly pedestrian)
- Check out a market (Borough or Smithfields or Camden)
- Catch a boat from the city to Greenwich
- Madame Tussauds (really)
- Buckingham Palace (probably won't be open, but no loss anyway, although the changing of the guard may interest you)
- The Millennium Dome (nothing to see)

Covent Garden is a great place for window shopping and people watching, and sometimes they have interesting bands/entertainers performing. In that same area, I'd recommend
Porter's Restaurant
as a good example of traditional British food, with a variety of pies & puddings. My Brit-born husband enjoyed their Steak & Kidney pie when we went the last time, although I played it safer and got the Steak & Cheddar pie.

I'm going to say no on the London Eye: your experience really depends on the weather and I'm not persuaded that the view is that good. But you should look at the Eye itself.
Also possibly miss:
- The (new) British Library: there's not a lot to see there, without a readers card, although if you were in the area you could walk into the foyer for a look
- Leaving town: it'll take you a few hours to get to (say) Stonehenge and you've got a limited amount of time and there's plenty in London to see.
- A lot of the galleries: unless you're a real art buff or are starved of major galleries, you could skip Tate Britain, the National Gallery, etc. Yes, they have major, impressive collections but so do many other galleries around the world.
- Similarly, maybe you might want to skip the theatre. Yes, there's a lot of shows, but many of them have been playing for years and can be seen much closer to home (e.g. Chicago). Conversely, it is something for the evening.

Seconding the V&A museum, the cast galleries are astonishing! Also, catch evensong at Westminster, it's quite a beautiful and contemplative experience.

Sorry, I should have added that I do not necessarily endorse actually riding the Eye, just that if it's something that your wife is set on doing, or you are set on doing for some reason, then the Pimms or Champagne flight is the way to do it.
And probably not your wife's kind of thing, unless she's a big fan of war stuff, but the Imperial War Museum is pretty awesome, I could've spent hours in there (as opposed to the 50 minutes we had before it closed), and it's free!

Day 1: Tower of London*, St. Paul's, Tate Modern, show at the Globe
Day 2: Harrods, Hyde Park*, V&A and/or Natural History
Day 3: Trafalgar Square, Shopping (either Regent St, Oxford St, Covent Garden or some combination, British Museum*, Theater in evening if so inclined.
* Do not miss. Other things can be substituted if interests lie elsewhere or time is pressing.

Yeah, we really need much more to go on here, London is too big to sum up its best points here and without knowing more about your interests or location we can't be much more helpful than google.
Here's a few ideas...
John Soane's Museum
Breakfast at
Kenwood House
(also, swimming in
Hampstead Heath ponds
- even in April!)
Afternoon Tea in one of the usual suspects:
The Ritz
Brown's Hotel
(book in advance)
Imperial War Museum and HMS Belfast
are both cool.
The British Library
is my favouritest place in the entire world.
Honestly, though, if your 3 days involve the V&A, the Natural History Museum, the National Theatre and one of the Tates you can't go wrong. Unless you don't like history, or theatre, or art, or dinosaurs...
IMHO, skip the London Eye and London Zoo - both overpriced and underwhelming.

Honestly...and I know this is going to sound super cheesy...those open-top, hop-on/hop-off bus tours are awesome. I lived in Brighton for about five years, and every time someone would come visit, they just had to have a day trip to London. The bus tour lets you see everything, it lets you learn about everything, and when you travel by something that you want to investigate further, you just get off the bus, take in the sight, and then get on the next bus.

Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in April are pretty unbelievable. Take the District line on the Underground, plan on four hours for out and back and walk around. Several exhibits there are being closed at the end of April 2012, so your timing is exceptional. Chance to ride the Underground on the Overground Line.
Bigs ups for Covent Garden as well. Very cool, very trendy shops. Pretty people.
Take your camera everywhere in the daytime. London is the most photogenic city in the world.

Skip Harrods unless glitzy Eurotrash is your thing.
Seconding Kew Gardens (have tea at The Kew Greenhouse, halfway between the Tube and the garden gates). Borough Food Market takes place Thursday/Friday/Saturday and is well worth visiting for breakfast or lunch.
Buy a Time Out for theatre and music listings, and see at least one show or gig while you're here.

My position on visiting London is that you should do the things that you absolutely can't do in another giant metropolitan city. To me, that means:
The War Rooms
, which even. non-history buffs enjoy for the fun, underground bunker, pretending-the-Blitz-is-going-on-overhead feel. Serious war nerds can then proceed to the Imperial War Museum and have the most awesome day ever.
The John Soanes Museum
is probably the single most awesome super-tiny-awesome-personal-museum experience in the world, especially if you follow their tips for avoiding crowds. It's tiny, it's a gem, and pretty much unique.
If you want to see a show in the West End, don't go to see a musical or a Broadway show if you have access to them elsewhere. Instead, try for something at the
National Theatre
, the
Old Vic
, or one of the other theaters along those lines.
And I'm a big fan of Fortnum's and Mason's. Yes, it's more than a little ridiculous, but I can't hear you over the amazingness of all the jams and marmalades and preserves and tiny little bottles of delicious relishes and ridiculously excellent teas.
Not a fan, though of the V&A, unless there is something specific there you want to see. Its strength is breadth, not overall excellence. For just about any collection, you can go and see a better, stronger version of it elsewhere (sometimes, even in London). And the Tower was -- well, the Tower. Big, expensive, and you ride past the crown jewels on a little peoplemover escalator. Afterwards, I wished I'd spent the time at the British Library or the Tate, or any one of the places mentioned

Oh, and Trafalger Square, if you're doing the walkabout. People are either hot or cold on the Eye. I did it, and it was somewhat novel, but nothing you'd miss other than saying "I rode the Eye."
A day trip out to Windsor is nice, too.
And Kensington is nice - you can get a proper tea service there, if I'm remembering correctly.

Seconding AlliKat, do the bus tour your first *morning*. Just boom, get up, sit on a bus for a few hours, and see the main stuff. Now you can get lunch and decide if you want to go back to any of it.
If you cross Tower Bridge for the Tate, the
Design Museum
is right there as well.
Full Breakfast in the south east, like Brixton or Clapham.

I'd suggest the following:
Get the Docklands Light Railway out to Maritime Greenwich. You'll get some cool views of Docklands on the way. When you get to Greenwich, there's a great market (Fri, Sat, Sun) where you can buy small presents for friends/family. Also in Greenwich, there's the Royal Observatory, and you can walk up the hill to there and see even more amazing views across London. I'm not sure how much of the park will be open next year as it's an Olympic venue but hopefully it should still be fine in April.
If you're film fans, take a walk around the Royal Naval College, which you see in films all the time. The Meridian line in close by. I don't know how fond you are of creepy Victoriana, but if you like it the Greenwich Foot Tunnel is fabulous -- just get off the DLR at Island Gardens (one stop before Greenwich) and walk across. There are also some really nice pubs around there, some of them with microbrewery connections.
Once you're done with Greenwich, take the boat back to Westminster and you'll get a unique view of the City, from the old Victorian/Edwardian docksides and warehouses to the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, Tate Modern, St Paul's, etc. I can't remember the company but the red boats often have the captains offering colourful commentary on what you can see. I wouldn't rely on it being 100% factual, but it's a lot of fun.
I'd second all the recommendation to take a bus tour around the main part of London to get your bearings.
A second great walk is from Embankment tube station to Tower Bridge along the South Bank of the River. On a sunny day it's beautiful, and you can see the Globe, the National Theatre complex and its booksellers, the Eye, Southwark Cathedral, Vinopolis and Borough Market.
If you want to try the theatre, go to Leicester Square and go to the
TKTs booth
. It's not a scalpers, unlike the other ticket places, and it has some amazing discounts on big and small shows, from stuff at the National to the musicals. You can just read the board outside the booth and see what you fancy. From Leicester Square, it's a piece of cake to walk to Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus.
Anyway, have a terrific time.

Some things not mentioned:
Chelsea Physic Garden
Royal Hospital Chelsea
- A pint at the
Jerusalem Tavern
- a proper
British curry
or a meal at
St John
(the bar is great, and cheap)
guided walk
-something like Dickens' London
- A drink up
Tower 42
A canal trip from Little Venice to Camden
But you know what? Just wander into the British Museum. It's free. Walk past antiquities of various sorts and go and have a look at the
Rosetta Stone
. Just because you can.

I agree with everyone else and also wanted to recommend buying an AtoZ to help you find your way around if you'll be wondering around a lot (although I suppose with a smartphone and online maps and such, those are no longer necessary, but it was really, really helpful 15 years ago!). Also, I really liked the walking tours found in the

I'm going to say skip the museums if you only have 3 days. Better to concentrate on a few really cool things and giving yourself the chance to see them then running around all over the place and just making yourself tired.
If you've never been there and aren't really sure what you'd fancy then I suggest doing one of the "hop on hop off" double decker tours. These can take anywhere between a couple of hours and a full day depending on how much you hop off. The bonus of this type of tour is that it gives you the lay of the land and if you are interested in a certain place you can always go back on another day. You could also just spend a couple of hours on the bus and listen to the guided tour and get a good sample of London in a few hours.
I'm a huge fan of Camden Market and always dedicate at least 4 hours every time I go to London to visit. It's eclectic and if you do things right you can end up with really good cheap eats as well as buying some really cool stuff all in that time.
In one afternoon it would be very easy to walk from Charing Cross to Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Covent Garden then up to Piccadilly Circus and finally on to Oxford Circus. All these places are pretty close and can be easily walked but if you don't feel like it you can also just pick up a day pass for the tube and busses and find your way to these places.
For my money I think you should take a peek at Fortnum and Mason and have afternoon tea there. F&M opened in 1707 and has the most lovely tea, biscuits and treats. The afternoon tea comes with an option of champagne and you can receive it in one of a few restaurants in this beautiful store right on Piccadilly.
Another place I drop in on is Harrods - I'm a fan of the Food Hall and always find something nice to bring home to friends somewhere in the store. Keep your eyes open for deals as they do exist. Often you can pick up nice candies or preserves buy two get one free!!
Almost all of the museums in London are free but I would say have them on the agenda only if you are a huge museum fan or if it is raining on one day when you are there. The V&A is lovely as is the Museum of Natural History. The Tate Modern is on the south bank and worthy of a visit.
You can always get pretty good deals on shows in London. I almost hate recommending a show as they are so personal and everyone looks for something different. I've seen a ton of shows in London and liked them all for different reasons. Phantom set is neat and it's a classic but the music kind of got on my nerves. Grease was loads and loads of fun, Mousetrap - long running and sort of ok, Miss Saigon - meh not so much for me. I have heard that "Wicked" is very good and "Betty Blue" is timely given the current austerity measures in place - plus you can get cheap tickets.
If you are going to do the Millennium Wheel then make sure you make reservations as you could end up spending a lot of time waiting and pay more than you need.
I like Greenwich and especially the Naval Museum but it is a bit of a trek from central London.
There are so many lovely places to eat - look at Chowhound London or Trip Advisor to get a sense of what is popular at the moment. When you get there you will see a number of free newspapers that will let you know what is on during the week entertainment and food wise - pick one up at any of the major tube stations and have a bit of a read to get yourself started.
If eating out isn't big on your list then make sure you pop into Pret aManger or any of the many health fast food places that offer great sandwiches and salads.
memail me if you have specific things are areas you'd like to see and I could narrow down suggestions. London is a great city - have fun.

Lots of great suggestions, and while I respect the OP for not threadsitting, I don't think it would be amiss to pop back into the thread and let us know your particular interests!
For my own personal tastes, I second
Outlier's suggestions
as well as
. I would make one modification to Rocksteady's advice, though: I would mark a Shakespeare production at the Globe as a must-see, can't miss London experience.
Other comments: I think the V&A is decent, but I would DEFINITELY rank the British Museum much higher. Personally, I also prefer the Museum of London to the V&A, but that might depend on your own particular interests.
Finally, since you have a few month before you come here, you have time to track down my all-time favorite London guidebook, which I always recommend when people ask what to do here:
. It's been out of print for a while, but you can buy a used copy for a few bucks on Amazon (or you can download an audio version via Audible, if you prefer.) It consists of five really detailed self-guided walking tours around London. It will take you through some of the major tourist areas, but it will also take you down fascinating little side streets you'd never have found on your own, and it will tell you great details about everything you see. Because it's out of print, all the restaurant reviews and museum opening times will be out of date-- but you can get a more traditional guide book for all that stuff, whereas you can't get a better walking tour book.

If you're planning on walking the Southbank anytime from Thursday to Sunday, make sure to stop in at
Borough Market
for amazing seasonal and locally sourced foods. I'd recommend a pork belly sandwich from Roast to Go, and also a cup of coffee from
Monmouth Coffee
, famed to have the best beans in all of London.
Nearby in Southwark, if you're looking for a great place to have a pint/get a traditional pub meal, go eat at
Southwark Tavern
. The food is great and the atmosphere of the pub is really cool (they've converted old cells into dining rooms).
For traditional afternoon tea you should swing by
The Orangery
in Kensington Palace. The Palace itself is under construction, but if you're in the area of hyde park, the Orangery is beautiful and the tea is great.
For traditional pie and mash, visit any East End pie and mash shop, and if you're close to Brick Lane/Brick Lane Market, make absolutely sure you have a salt beef beigel from Beigal Bake. I would recommend this a thousand times over.
The best curry house in London is in Whitechapel and is called
, but make sure you book a table because the place is always very busy every single night. Even if you don't book a table, the food is totally worth the wait.
For a pub with a view, and also amazing fish and chips, stop by
Trafalgar Tavern
in Greenwich. Th pub is right next to the Royal Naval College and also overlooks the Thames.
I think the best place for a traditional english breakfast is
The Table
in Southwark, although I've heard that the Quarterly Cafes in the West End are equally fantastic.
If you're adventurous you could try
Dans Le Noir
, but I think you'd have to book a table like, now.
Good luck, and have fun!

Most tourists show up at the opening time or the afternoon. It is actually pretty quiet in the evening.

I totally agree! And we managed to stumble across a
Friday Late
event, and it was pretty much the best thing ever.

I live in Los Angeles, but London is my favorite city in the world. I've been four times and never less than a week each visit, but sadly not since 2005. I think the suggestions so far are great, but I always point people to London Walks
. Each tour is cheap, easy, and fun with knowledgeable guides and it being the UK, most of them end at a pub where you can choose to hang out or not. I've been on a dozen or more, including the Jack the Ripper tour, the Beatles walk, and a day trip to Bath. I wish all major cities, including LA, had such well organized walking tours. Even if I was there for a short time, I'd try to fit in a couple. Have a great trip, I'm kinda jealous.

Buy, Sell or Hold: Ford Motor Co.'s (NYSE: F) Turnaround Could Put Investors on the Fast Track to Profit
Back on July 28, 2008, I recommended buying a speculative stake in Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F). The stock has more than doubled in value since then, and I believe it's positioned for even more gains.
Let me tell you why.
Investing in a company as it turns around from a highly distressed situation is one of the most profitable investments one can make.
Many billionaires, like Wilbur Ross and David Tepper of Appaloosa Management LP, are masters of this style of investing. And they have the profits to prove it.
That's why I am always looking for these rare situations, which can play a very important role in a portfolio, even with a small initial investment. And right now there are a few very strong signals that the U.S. auto sector, which was demolished by the financial crisis, is going to bounce back stronger than ever.
Buy, Sell or Hold: Keep Your Portfolio Healthy With Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE: CPB)
On June 1 of last year I recommended buying Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE: CPB). It was a contrarian call at the time, since many brokers and independent analysts had rated the stock a "hold."
That's because most analysts think of Campbell the same way they think of many other consumer staples businesses – as a stable, slow moving business with no real short-term catalyst for growth.
You see, very few remember the tremendous upside that Warren Buffet realized when he invested in another "dull" staples business, The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO), just prior to a major overseas expansion.And it's precisely that kind of campaign Campbell has mounted – expanding its businesses in Russia, China, and other emerging economies to great success.
Buy Sell or Hold: The SPDR Gold Trust ETF Will Rally in 2010, as Recent Dollar Strengthening Loses Steam
Gold prices surged to a record high $1226.10 an ounce on Dec. 3, but have since retreated. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar has been weak for many months, but shown signs of strength in the past week.
So what's next for the dollar and the price of commodities like gold?
In order to answer that question we must look at the factors that brought us here: loose monetary policy and government stimulus.
Buy, Sell or Hold: Government's HeavyHanded Plans Spawn Profits With These Three Top Stocks for 2010
When government boosts its involvement in the economy, there's a predictable impact on interest rates, taxes, inflation, the country's currency and even its stock market. As a veteran global investor, I've seen this play out time and again in emerging-market economies, where it's commonplace for government to play an active and heavy-handed role.
I know from my years of experience just what to expect each and every time this story plays out. And that's not all.
I also know how to turn this special knowledge into beat-the-market profits.
Here in the United States, the Obama administration and the U.S. Federal Reserve are like two elephants that have been put to work brutishly reshaping the U.S. economy. We're already experiencing the effects of big government involving itself in the private sector. Expect the dollar to fall even more – after year-end profit-taking ends. Also expect a further deployment of government-stimulus money to industries where the United States has a large competitive advantage and can generate domestic jobs.
We'll be only too happy to ride the resulting economic shifts for profit.
In fact, as part of this installment of "Buy, Sell or Hold" – I've identified three of the best profit opportunities for the New Year. The three "must-own" companies – each poised to benefit from these shifts – are: Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW), The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) and Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: CY). We offer them to you here as part of a Money Morning "Outlook 2010" Special Report.
Buy, Sell or Hold: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) Brings a Strong Business Model and 100 Years of Experience Into 2010
I know Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) very well. I live in the heart of big pharma country: Princeton, N.J. And I have been interacting regularly with many people in this industry, including all levels of the Johnson & Johnson management for years.
Johnson & Johnson is a company that my peer analysts and I have admired for decades. And this well-deserved admiration goes well beyond the financial community.
Let me tell you why.
JNJ has a sound business model that emphasizes the development and marketing of top quality drugs and benchmark consumer products. Its strong and stable profit margins – with gross profit north of 70% – and its consistent growth over more than a century are matched by only a handful of companies.
Buy, Sell or Hold: Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Has Been Masterfully Managed and Will Continue to Benefit Investors
Last year, on Aug 25, I recommended readers start buying shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) in incremental amounts until the end of 2008. I emphasized that Berkshire should be a core, long-term holding in investors' portfolios and not a stock to trade in and out off. Today, the stock is about 11% […]
Buy, Sell or Hold: Hold On to the TS&W/Claymore Tax-Advantaged Balanced Fund and Look for More Buying Opportunities
On June 29, I recommended buying the TS&W/Claymore Tax-Advantaged Balanced Fund (NYSE: TYW). The fund is up about 15% since that recommendation and there's been a distribution of about 2% of the initial investment. Not bad for sitting in bonds and equities of global mega-caps that pay high dividends.
Since this is a close-ended balanced mutual fund that pays a very attractive yield, the fund can invest between 50% to 60% in municipal bonds and between 40% to 50% in global equities. It also can trade at a premium or a discount to net asset value.

- Shortcut Romeo Review- Disgusting
Sunday, June 23, 2013
Alas, there was no Shortcut to its CLIMAX!!
VjMOVIEw: Simply Avoid (**)
Director: Susi Ganesh
Duration: 2 hours 25 minutes
Target Audience: Viewers liking senseless masala type and South-Indian style movies.Age Group: 15-20 years
Parallel of the Movie: BEZUBAAN, Jamaai Raja
So, here is Susi Ganesh who is overly confident of his 2006 Tamil hit(Thituttu Payale)that he tries his luck by remaking it in Bollywood. Playing the role signifying the title is our Neil Nitin(as Suraj). The film also has Ameesha Patel(Monica; continuing her dumb character in Race 2) and Puja Gupta(as Sherry; seen in GO GOA GONE). The movie is extensively shot in Mumbai and Kenya.
A fukrey type Suraj seeks refuge at his uncle's home in Mumbai after being thrown out of home by his parents. He hits a jackpot when he shoots Ameesha(Monica) indulging into infidelity by making out with his Golf-Trainer, that too in a Golf Course. Really are u kidding me!!!
Monica is blackmailed into endorsing a luxurious life for Sooraj for fear of being exposed before her husband, played by Rajesh Shringarpure(as Rahul).
Haah!! I wonder why she dint use her biggest asset into luring Sooraj for the video.(You know what I mean) :-)
So, our clever-minded Hero first decides Kenya for his sponsored lavish trip. :-( Period!!!
While exploring the wildlife in Kenya (and possibly earning some commission from Discovery and National.G.C), Sooraj comes across Sherry(real name Radhika) and falls in love with her. (That has too happen to add in some of Himesh's atrocious songs).
Enroute, we witness some twists and turns which don't really add any excitement. Sample this, Sherry is an ally of Monica who is there to put Sooraj into trouble; Rahul hires a private detective to keep an eye on Monica, and guess what, the private detective is played by none other than Susi Ganesh!! (Couldn't he think of something better. Responding to similar queries, he answered..)
In the entire hide and seek game between Neil and Ameesha, it's the viewers who get restless! There is no entertainment quotient or novelty either in the script,screenplay or dialogues. "Main shola, tu meri Coca-cola" are some of the types tossed at viewers. I wish I could actually think of loads of exciting parts in this sub-standard offering except an unexpected climax and a dishoom dishoom between Neil and poor tribals!!
Poor Ameesha couldn't hire an Assassin to think of a Shortcut for this Romeo!!

Christmas, as every one knows, is the season to be jolly, and also to be thankful. But sometimes I have trouble being jolly or thankful because Christmas is also the season to publish and promote Christmas-themed books. Lots of them. Too many for most of us to be able to, on our own, separate the worthy from the tolerable from the absolutely wretched.
Turn to the Internet for help, you say. Well, I did that, and I found lists and lists and more lists devoted to the Best Christmas Books for 2012, and also the Best Christmas Books for Kids, for Toddlers, for Preschoolers, for Book Clubs, for Kindergartens, for Finns, for Dogs, for the Lovers of Dogs, and for Adults.

After the Birth
Just as important as preparing siblings for the arrival of a new baby is understanding children's normal feelings of jealousy after the baby is born. Imagine how you would feel if your partner said one day, "Honey, I love you so much I'm bringing home another wife (or husband). From now on this person whom I love, too, will be sharing our life together."
It's no surprise then that young children often act even younger when a new baby joins the family. They may not sleep as well, cry more, want baby bottles or the breast if already weaned, whine, are more demanding in general, and might wet their pants if previously potty trained.
Although the birth of a baby is usually most disruptive to a first-born, according to British researchers in Mothering, a child's reaction depends mostly on personality. Usually by the time the new baby is eight months old, with her quite obvious personality, siblings imitate their mothers and want to help care for the baby.
What Parents Can Do After the Birth
- Arrange for siblings to visit if Mom and baby are in the hospital for a few days.
- When the new baby comes home, arrange for someone to bring over a birthday cake.
- Have the baby and your older child exchange presents.
- Have gifts on hand for the older child when friends and family bring baby gifts.
- Encourage fathers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to spend more time with the older child.
- Give the older child status with special jobs to help the family, then praise him for his helpfulness.
- Ask him to help set the table for meals or get the mail.
- Every day find a way to spend time alone with your older children and focus solely on them.
- Encourage the sibling to play with the doll he practiced on before the baby was born.
- Have a place for the older children where their belongings will not be disturbed by a crawling baby in the months to come.
- Calmly accept any negative feelings your older child expresses about the baby, while at the same time emphasize the baby is always to be treated gently.
What Siblings Can Do After the Birth
- Bring diapers to Mom or Dad.
- Help fold cloth diapers.
- Help dress, bathe and massage the baby.
- Even small children can help put on booties and hats.
- Push the stroller with supervision, and hold onto the stroller when an adult is pushing it.

Fair Trade Fortnight celebration, with the support of Divine Chocolate. Divine Chocolate – fair trade and cooperatively produced – are providing a guided tasting after the film with the help of their Master Chocolatier, David.
"A funny, touching, sumptuous, and incredibly romantic ode to the joys of love and food." TheMovieReport.com "Such strong emotions that you can almost taste them," The New York Times.
Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Esquival, this internationally popular romantic fable from Mexico centers on a young woman who discovers that her cooking has magical effects. Bound by tradition to remain unmarried while caring for her aging mother, youngest daughter Tita nevertheless falls in love with a handsome young man named Pedro. When he bows to convention and marries her elder sister the lovestruck young woman is brutally disappointed, and her sadness has such force that it infects her cooking: all who eat it her feel her heartbreak with the same intensity. This newly discovered power continues to manifest itself after the wedding, as Tita and Pedro, overcome by their denied love, embark on a secret affair. This combination of traditional melodrama and exotic fairy tale proved extremely popular, and it is one of the most successful foreign language films ever!
David the Divine chocolatier will guide you through the ultimate chocolate experience. You will discover that like wine, chocolate has a distinctive flavour dependent on the bean variety, the geography, and the fermentation, drying and roasting process. You will also learn about the Kuapa kokoo cooperative in Ghana, the history of chocolate, the manufacturing process and how to achieve the best possible taste experience by explaining the factors which influence flavour. He will offer guidance on choosing the right chocolate for a specific purpose and occasion before finally offering you the opportunity to taste the amazing Divine flavour of Ghana.
How divine…

Sometimes my mind is like a magpie, it grabs at anything shiny it can find and hoards it. It fills itself with ritzy bits of paper and scraps of glitter until there is no room for anything else and I am pure joy. Sometimes my mind is like a magpie storing up lovely things, sometimes it is more pigeon than magpie. And a manky pigeon to boot, one of the ones in Leicester Square with one leg, no eyes and half a wing.
I have bipolar affective disorder (type 2). I take medication for it everyday and generally I am fine. More than fine. Oftentimes I am obnoxiously cheerful. Then without warning I will fall down the rabbit hole and become stuck under a dank pile of emotion that I cannot escape. Questions such as 'shall I eat an egg today?' and 'can I go downstairs?' become unanswerable. I am paralysed by choice and will find myself returning from the supermarket empty-handed as I could not choose which variety of apple to buy. The sheer weight of emotion is staggering, it presses down upon your lungs, pinning you to the ground and leaving you to stagnate.
The answer is always the same. One day at a time. The first step is always a shower. If I can make myself take a shower I know that I can get better. After I have coached myself through showering I focus on food. I need to eat, anything will do as long as I can make myself eat something. Next it is lists. Reasons To Be Resolutely Cheerful comes first. I need three, if I can think of three things to be happy about then I can start to get better. Next is the step I hate the most. Goals. Three goals a day. They are tiny to begin with; stay awake all day, make a proper meal and eat it all, go outside, sit downstairs, tell someone you are sad. Today my goal was to write a paragraph of new material. I am meant to be writing some witty (ok, ridiculous and puerile) short stories but I'm not quite there yet. Funny can be hard to find. But I am writing something and that is an achievement.
Depression can be slow and grating or it can feel like a cartoon anvil falling on you from a twelfth storey window. It can be sudden and it can be devastating. Each time it happens to me the violence of it shocks me. Getting better feels like rebuilding your life from scratch. You have to work the steps, like an alcoholic. It is tiring and it is slow but it will work. In two weeks I will not remember what it feels like to be depressed.
I have written this little blog, not just to fulfil today's goal (the other two were get through work without crying and sit in a restaurant and eat everything on my plate; did them both like an absolute pro) but to explain to the people who have to put up with me what it is like from my side of the glass. I find it almost impossible to verbalise it at the time and by the time it has passed, 'well what's the point in talking about it now?' says my pragmatic yet unhelpful mind. So this is what it's like. This is how it feels. Soon I wont remember.
If you know someone who you think might be depressed, ask them. They might not be able to tell you but sometimes it helps to know that someone has noticed that you're fading away.
I will go back to tweeting about things I have eaten/fallen over/feminism now I swear.

Apple Hits the Brakes on the Google Express
By Richard Birecki - June 25, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, FB, GOOG, MSFT, YELP
For the past couple years, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has been my favorite company. My life was completely Googlefied after I purchased an Android phone.

Gold Wars: Gollum Mocks the Oracle of Omaha

Warren Buffet and partner Charlie Munger, the world's greatest investors over the last 40 + years, have never been big fans of gold.

Microsoft's Live Grenade in The Tablet Wars

What is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) thinking? I recently read a column which stated that Microsoft intends to charge device makers $85 dollars for their Windows 8 tablet software which essentially matches the price Microsoft expects to receive for a version of the software designed for the PC, except the tablet software will come with limitations, including the inability to run Windows 7, and fewer security features.

I recently penned a column wondering what the world would be like if we were to cut broadband access, and began accessing the Internet solely from mobile devices.

I have an application that runs on SQL Server 2000. We have clients that use the Personal Edition or MSDE on their XP machines. If we upgrade to Windows 7, or get new Windows 7 clients, can we install SQL Server 2000 on them?

I found this update from Microsoft's Release Services: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlreleaseservices/archive/2009/10/23/sql-server-on-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
The reason given for not supporting 2000 on Vista/Win7 is because of LUA/UAC issues.

Steve Jones - Editor ♦♦
SQL Server 2000 isn't supported on Vista+ OS's. The install will be blocked by Windows. Migrating MSDE to SQL Express may be the best option.
answered Oct 23, 2009 at 02:48 PM
Although you can install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 7 with some workarounds, it will not work properly. You can see several errors in both the database server and in Enterprise Manager MMC.
Only SQL Server 2005 SP3 or greater and SQL Server 2008 SP1 or greater are supported in Windows 7 by Microsoft.
answered Oct 23, 2009 at 02:55 PM

There are several great answers here, but it is worth adding that there are ways of working around the fact you can't run it natively.
The obvious one is to use SQL Server 2005 SP3 and run the database in compatibility mode for 2000. That is certainly not the same as actually running SQL Server 2000, but it is good enough for most applications and better for a few.
Also remember that you can run an earlier version of windows as a virtual machine inside Windows 7. I have not tried that with SQL Server 2000, but I cannot think of any reason it would not work well.
answered Dec 22, 2009 at 11:40 AM
The real answer is this - sql requires Windows Authentication and Microsoft has decided to change this or do away with it. Not to worry though - SQL allows you to log in without windows authentication. Install the program and do not select windows authentication to log in. Use a user name and password - works great on Vista - should work the same on Win 7

This answer has been clicked "down" by at least two people who haven't left a comment as to "Why". The answer rbeca gave seems plausible. Can someone say for certain if this is a good or a bad answer and why? Thanks.

Cancer Health Center
Retinoblastoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Extraocular Retinoblastoma Treatment
In developed countries, few patients with retinoblastoma present with extraocular disease. Extraocular disease may be localized to the soft tissues surrounding the eye or to the optic nerve beyond the margin of resection. However, further extension may occur into the brain and meninges with subsequent seeding of the spinal fluid, as well as distant metastatic disease involving the lungs, bones, and bone marrow.
Standard Treatment Options
Recommended Related to Cancer
The anticancer efficacy of the Gonzalez regimen has been investigated in two human studies ( CPMC-IRB-8544 [1]), both involving patients with pancreatic cancer. The first study, a prospective nonconsecutive case series conducted by the developer and an associate, included 11 patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (stage II through stage IV). None of the patients had received chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and none had undergone surgical resection with curative intent. All the...
Read the Human / Clinical Studies article > >
Orbital and loco-regional retinoblastoma
Orbital retinoblastoma occurs as a result of progression of the tumor through the emissary vessels and sclera. For this reason, transscleral disease is considered to be extraocular and should be treated as such. Orbital retinoblastoma is isolated in 60% to 70% of cases; lymphatic, hematogenous, and central nervous system (CNS) metastases occur in the remaining patients. Treatment should include systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy; with this approach, 60% to 85% of patients can be cured. Since most recurrences occur in the CNS, regimens using drugs with well-documented CNS penetration are recommended. Different chemotherapy regimens have proven to be effective, including vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin and platinum- and epipodophyllotoxin-based regimens, or a combination of both.[1] For patients with macroscopic orbital disease, it is recommended that surgery is delayed until response to chemotherapy has been obtained (usually two or three courses of treatment). Enucleation should then be performed and an additional four to six courses of chemotherapy administered. Local control should then be consolidated with orbital irradiation (40 Gy to 45 Gy). Using this approach, orbital exenteration is not indicated. Patients with isolated involvement of the optic nerve at the transsection level should also receive similar systemic treatment, and irradiation should include the entire orbit (36 Gy) with 10 Gy boost to the chiasm (total 46 Gy).
Central nervous system disease
Intracranial dissemination occurs by direct extension through the optic nerve and its prognosis is dismal. Treatment for these patients should include platinum-based intensive systemic chemotherapy and CNS-directed therapy. Although intrathecal chemotherapy has been traditionally used, there is no preclinical or clinical evidence to support its use. Although the use of irradiation in these patients is controversial, responses have been observed with craniospinal irradiation, using 25 Gy to 35 Gy to the entire craniospinal axis and a boost (10 Gy) to sites of measurable disease. Therapeutic intensification with high-dose marrow-ablative chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell rescue has been explored, but its role is not yet clear.[2][Level of evidence: 3iiA]
Trilateral retinoblastoma
Trilateral retinoblastoma is usually associated with a pineal or, less commonly, a suprasellar lesion. In patients with the hereditary form of retinoblastoma, CNS disease is less likely the result of metastatic or regional spread than a primary intracranial focus, such as a pineal tumor. The prognosis for patients with trilateral retinoblastoma is very poor; most patients die of disseminated neuraxis disease in less than 9 months. While pineoblastomas occurring in older patients are sensitive to radiation therapy, current strategies are directed towards avoiding irradiation by using intensive chemotherapy followed by consolidation with myeloablative chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell rescue, an approach similar to those being used in the treatment of brain tumors in infants.[3]

We've ranted just a 'smidge' this week and perhaps we have been just a little bit too grumpy; its probably the weather. So......we've decided to cheer ourselves up and go an take a look at the new installation at Banana Republic. Out sized props are always good fun so this is a little winner of scheme on that front at their site on Regent street. The NYC cityscape and a promotion too...;o) Still, the fabric props are well made and good fun and....just look at this vibrant Yellow.

Also, if I enter in any more secret santas. Which is probably very doubtful...I will put my wishlists for those here too!
From my secret Santa, I would like a picture of my :iconcrayon-academy: OCs Ella and Eli enjoying the holidays together!
Holiday Wishlist 2012 [Updated 15th Dec]So I am taking part in a couple of online holiday wishes/wish list communites, one is over at livejournal called Holiday Wishes. It's a community where you post 10 wishes and try to fulfil other people's wishes as well. So here is my wish list
The other is the same as holiday wishes but based here on DA (clickie to go to the original post!) and here are the details!
Step 1.
Make a post in your dA journal (the manual INCLUDED - I wont grant any wishes, if I see no manual). The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want
2012 WishlistYou can do whatever you like with it really. Posing, eating, fighting, coupling, Iunno... surprise me~!
Note: Might update this in the future.
OC wishlist:
1. Werewolf!Natsume Hirai in your own style~ Human, Wolf, or puppy. (always wanted to see him with other people's style)
- Can be a jerkass, but can act all cutesy to get what he wants. However he is capable of destroying everything when he gets threatened, losing his sanity. Can also manipulate fire.
The wolf version pretty much like the typical wolf lol. Except orange.
The puppy version is like an akita pup but orange as well. (I would love you if you make him a little plump but up to you lol.)
2. It can also be human (RL based) Natsume if you like~ But just remember this:
Now, this version of Natsume is pretty much based on me. Pretty shy with strangers but becomes a playful tomboy when she's close to someone. Other than that, she's also book and scientifically smart but socially d
