The Eclipse
We have an interesting ML favourite here. #2 Stealcase is certainly logical, but you don't see a horse who finished second behind two of his competitors in his last two races made the favourite. In the prep for this race, he closed into Alpha Bettor's slow fractions, but came up a 1/2 length short. In the Ben Ali at Keeneland, there was no chance of him catching Frac Daddy. But that doesn't mean Stealcase can't win. The pace setup could work out for him, and he likes the Woodbine polytrack. In his other local start, he won the G3 Ontario Derby fairly easily. To his inside is the more likely post time favourite, #1 Alpha Bettor. He started the year out with a win in the aforementioned prep, making a slow lead in a four horse field and holding on. However, that less than impressive win doesn't take anything away from this horse; he is all class. Last year all three of his wins came in Graded Stakes company, including a win in this company. He inherited the lead last time, but he doesn't need it at all. He's best as a stalker. The concern is whether Stein sends him to the front from the rail post. Riders like to do that. Ken McPeek ships one up here, #5 Frac Daddy, who dominated the Ben Ali two back at Keeneland. His race in the G1 Man O' War was respectable as well. In fact, he's run five very credible races in a row. Also note that he's two for two on polytrack. You have to wonder whether he goes to the front or stalks the pace, he's a bit of a wildcard there, although both running styles work for him. The only other horse I see as a win threat is #7 His Race to Win. The only poor race he's run on the Woodbine poly was in the Queen's Plate last year, when the rain poured and he had no shot of making up any ground. That entirely forgiveable. His most recent start was a win in a high level Allowance on the turf at Keeneland. I don't know if he's as fast as the others, but he loves this surface and his trainer is on fire. He's not going to be my pick, but I would put him in the exotics for sure. There really aren't a lot of interesting long shots in this race. #3 Are You Kidding Me is making his first start since winning the G3 Kent down at Delaware, but that was in September and this is a lot tougher. #4 Peyton just doesn't seem like he's capable at this level. You could argue for #6 Really Sharp, he exits win in the G3 Vigil going seven furlongs, he should be a speed factor. I don't think he's as good at this distance though. One you could argue for the exotics, certainly. #8 Awesome Overture was a horse with a lot of hype when he started running against Stakes horses, but he's been nothing but a disappointment. Finally, #9 Hampstead Heath is a nice turf horse, but he's not as good on synthetic and his recent form at Gulfstream raises some concerns. There really aren't any price horses I like a lot. I'm making #5 Frac Daddy my pick due to his impressive Ben Ali win, and his ability to both be a front runner and a stalker. This looks like a fairly chalky race to me.
Ajax Downs Selections
Race 1: 3-5-6
#3 Bye Me One Kool Bud is a Stakes winner who runs well fresh. He won his career debut, won the Fort Erie Futurity off of a month and a half layoff, and then won his 2013 debut against Nw3 competition. Can he keep his off the layoff streak going? #5 Piranhaaa is also a Stakes winner. He spent the winter racing at Hialeah, where he ran some very good races. He could potentially have a fitness edge. #6 McM Tres Episode ended 2013 finishing a 1/2 length behind Piranhaaa in the Ajax Derby Challenge. He's won half of his local starts and draws outside for hot connections.
Race 2: 6-2-4
#6 Eyesa Zoomn loves Ajax Downs, winning 8 of his 16 local starts with 4 runner up finishes. After a winter at Hialeah, he should be a big factor in this race. #2 Channelislandsflyer also wintered in Florida. He's notorious for finishing 2nd, 7 runner ups in 18 starts. He draws the rail post and should run well. #4 Ourfirstorphan ended 2013 in very good form with a pair of wins and a close second. He fired a bullet 220 yard work on April 28th and could be a factor.
Race 3: 5-6-3
#5 Make Me a Miracle didn't run a particularly great race to kick off 2014, but should improve second time off the layoff. She was quite impressive breaking her maiden back in September. #6 Fast and Rare Love showed that he has some ability when he qualified for the Alex Picov Futurity. He draws outside and shows a very nice gate work on May 28th. #3 Fastaz Task won his career debut with a solid late rally. In four starts after that he managed to pick up a couple of thirds. I'm not convinced he's as fast as some of the others, but he did run his best race fresh.
Race 4: 7-4-9
#7 Cash in for Sugar ran a good third to start the 2014 season. With an alert break and some improvement second time out, he should be tough in this spot. #4 Ima Good Karma is an unknown in here, making her first start since July 2012. Her career debut was solid, and she's worth a look for the Wilson/Rose combo at 8-1. #9 Sofar Gone finished 5th in Cash in for Sugar's race. He picks up Brian Bell and can improve today.
Race 5: 3-2-6
#3 Streakinlilsis didn't run fantastic in her local debut, but makes her second start off the layoff and catches several Ontario bred/sired class droppers today. #2 Runaway Cause ran some decent races last year, including a trial fast enough to qualify to the All Canadian Futurity. She shows two good works and should run well today. #6 Real Wild finished 6th in the Cash in for Sugar race mentioned earlier. Watch #7 and #9 in a Race 4 to judge how the runners from that race fare.
Race 6: 2-3-5
#2 Catch a Heart hasn't run since 2012, when he was competing in Louisiana. He won the Alabama Bred Futurity. He returns here for Renee Wilson and shows a very fast workout on May 7th. #3 Silken Memories only missed the board once as a two year old, hitting the board in two Stakes. I don't see why this horse should be 10-1. #5 Theydontlikemyname is the only horse in the race with a start this season, and it was a good second. There's no reason why this horse couldn't win today second off the layoff. This is a pretty competitive race.
Race 7: 4-2-6
Today's feature is a nice open Allowance for fillies and mares. #4 What Ta Wear was a dominant winner on opening day. She's a mare with plenty of talent and has the edge of a recent start over her main competition. She could definitely double up in this race. #2 All Wacked Out is a very classy mare. Last year she beat some of Ontario's best in the Ajax Downs Maturity. She's earned over $217,000 in her career and shows no sign of stopping as a 7 year old. #6 First Down the Track almost always runs a solid race, ending the year with a nice win against similar company at this distance. You can't toss her.
#3 Tres Okie won his 2013 debut. The 10 year old palomino has hit the board in 28 of his 53 starts, and still runs solid speed figures. Hopefully he can get career win #10 today. #4 Hi N Dry wintered at Hialeah, ending that meet with a pair of runner up finishes. She's a deserving favourite in this spot. #5 Cole Miner won his 2013 debut easily, albeit against easier competition than he faces today. He's hit the board in 18 of 32 starts. He shows a nice work, and is another addition to a very competitive Optional Claimer.
Good luck to everyone playing today!

Money managers' pay will come under pressure in 2018 as the asset management industry scrambles to manage rising costs and increased competition from cheaper passive funds, according to Greenwich Associates.
While average pay rose a projected 7% this year, the impact of cost constraints is already starting to show, the advisory firm said in a report. Fund managers should brace themselves for "tough compensation negotiations," it warned.
"Margin pressure is forcing asset managers to manage costs aggressively," and "one of the primary costs is compensation," Associate Director William Llamas said in the report. Investment performance and pay are "delinking," he said.
While asset-management salaries rose on average this year, equity fund managers earned more than their fixed-income peers thanks to a rally in global stocks. Bond managers actually received about 14% less this year than in 2016, the study showed.
Rising technology costs and increased pressure on fees from index and ETFs are working against the industry, according to the report, which Greenwich Associates produced with pay-consulting firm Johnson Associates.
Elsewhere, hedge fund pay rose an estimated 5% from last year, the report showed. And Greenwich Associates said it's a good time to be young and in tech at financial firms as staff working in data and analytics benefit from increasing competition for their talents.

Late last year the LSA published a white paper I wrote with Neal Polachek on the future of local digital media sales. It doesn't offer a definitive list of solutions but clearly lays out the challenges, questions and issues facing traditional media publishers and digital-only channels.
Tomorrow at 2pm Eastern 11 Pacific, Neal Polachek, Kerry Baldwin (of Web.com) and I will be discussing and debating the issues and questions raised in that report. The webinar is free and we hope you'll attend and participate in the conversation.
We want to webinar to truly be a conversation with the audience so it's been structured around some key discussion topics:
- Can traditional sales reps be retrained effectively to sell digital or must publishers/channels go with digital-only reps?
- Is the "consultative selling" rhetoric real? If so is it only for high-value accounts? Can it be done on the phone?
- How should sales teams be organized – by product, industry segment, advertiser spend, other?
- What's the right balance between generalists and specialists in the sales organization?
- What's the right balance between T-sales and outside sales?
- What's the role or responsibility of sales managers? How significant is their impact on success or failure?
- How can advertiser retention be improved?
- How can sales organizations differentiate in an extremely noisy market?
We're going to be asking audience members to engage and participate throughout the webinar rather than simply waiting until the end to ask questions. There's a lot of important material here and lots of strong and conflicting opinions.
Add your perspective to the discussion. Register here. Everyone that attends will get a copy of the report.

Yes, it has been two months.
I stopped working on these strips when my dad passed in April.
From that, I had a ton of work that I needed to catch up on. The
whole time, I wondered how I would return to the strip. A tribute to
dad? (There will be one) A humerous adventure not featuring me,
but my funny animal characters (there is one half done funny animal
Scam! strip which I will finish soon) Nope. The past month has been
a bit of an awakening for me. After a year plus of being in a funk,
I've opened my eyes to all that's good in my life. Art shows, kick
ass friends, the city of Chicago, and other personal things I won't get
into here. I finally feel like I could let go of the past I so desperately
clinged to. I've accepted change, and appreciate what I have. Yeah,
the shit sounds fuckin corny (and it is), but it lifts my spirits. So fuck
That's pretty much what I address in the new strip. Kicking the shit
out of the things that give me a headache. Takin' care of bid'nizz.
Summer's here! Surf's up, meetches!

Finding and establishing the property
So, we started looking further afield to actually get away from that and we'd been looking around the Nimbin area – and that of course hadn't had the festival yet – and we were looking at clapped out banana farms and things looked very depressing. Anyway we came up this road one day on the way back to Mullum and there was an old guy on the side of the road called 'Old Bob', he lived in a real shack.
Ray: A box.
Carol: A box, actually a tin, did you all say all this?
Ray: No I didn't.
Carol: He lived in a tin box and he said 'oh you might be interested in this land'. So we looked at the land.
Leigh: Where was the tin box?
Ray: Opposite, near Bruce's shed on this side of the road.
Carol: Not so far along. He slept on like slats with bags and…. Anyway if you went there you got a bit felt up. He was into that too. [all laugh]
Ray: He wasn't that old. [laughing].
Carol: No and he used to ride around – he had a really tall horse and he'd ride around on his horse and he'd say, 'I've seen a lot from this horse. You should see what those hippies do under trees,' and stuff like that. So anyway – he was a bit of a perv – so he did show us the land. Even though it was really degraded land and – there were no trees on it – it was bald, it was really bald, the fences were all fallen down – but it didn't have that sort of depressing look of people still trying to run failing banana farms – because it was agisted with beef cattle at the time. We saw all the water, you know the creeks, the internal creeks and the creek frontage and we knew there'd be a lot of good water supply and there was enough flat land and undulating land and so on, forest, so we decided to get that land. Well it was, I forget how much it was but it was something like nine and a half thousand. Is that right? And they threw in an old Land Rover. But at the time we didn't have it – nine and a half thousand was a lot of money in 1970 too and we didn't have it. So we went away to Laos to work in Vientiane at the school and, we earned, both of us working, quite a salary and I actually didn't see any of my salary for the two years because it just came back and paid for the land.
So we'd been on the land about six month and a whole lot of people were here, like dope smoking people… What happened?
Leigh: This is when you came back from Laos?
Carol: No when, when we, we went away and somehow one fellow was here and he brought a whole lot of his cohort on and they just really used the land to grow dope and they called it the Rainbow Box. And they did nothing and we left them a really functioning …. What was the car we had, it wasn't a Land Rover it was ….?
Ray: Ah – Willys.
Carol: Willys, yes, four wheel drive, tools. Dudley had been to a lot of farm auctions, he bought tools. Anyway the tools were given away, the Willys was left as a wreck, nothing happened except that they dug up the river paddock and plated a corn crop and then dope in the middle. And whilst we're away, because the payments are coming back – do you, is this what you want to hear?
Jo: Oh this is great.
Carol: Whilst we were in Laos because it often took two weeks for a letter, so the payments. Lester Brian was our Solicitor and he had a whole story of his own. But he was very on-side and sometimes the payments didn't come through. And this fellow tried to use this fact to get the land from us, to actually take the land. It was very, very unpleasant. And Lester Brian actually used his – you know the legal funds they have to, to….
Leigh: Trust funds.
Carol: Trust funds! The legal trust funds to make the payment for us until our payments came through. He was an incredible ally.
Leigh: He stuck his neck out.
Carol: That's right. And when we came back they had pretty much, I think they had scattered because they knew that we wouldn't be happy campers when we came back. So I came back from working in a school, having a woman to look after my child, a gardener, a driver – not that you would let him drive you anywhere but…. [laughs] to living in a tin shed with no running water and you know ….
Leigh: Shitting into a hole in the ground.
Carol: Yes. No toilet and just living in a tin shed that you see down there.
Jo: How many children?
Carol: I only had one child. Yes, so then we just started trying to get the community together and … what happened…… [pause]
Ray: Dudley's mother moved up here for a while didn't she?
Carol: She was here on and off, yes, Dawn, she had a caravan here that's right.
Ray: Mmm, mmm.

An official with the Regional Rail engineers union is alleging that SEPTA will soon be under federal investigation. The allegation surfaces as the union and SEPTA continue negotiations on a new contract.
Stephen J. Bruno, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, said on Thursday that the Federal Railroad Administration advised him that the investigation concerns "certification and safety issues" that occurred over the last few weeks.
"And last week, there was another violation," Bruno said. "A signal violation and a train entering a track without authority."
SEPTA Spokeswoman Jerri Williams did not directly comment on the allegations, but said the two sides met last week, and again on Friday. "Conversations continued to be productive," she said.
Bruno said on Thursday, "We're still in what I would consider to be productive discussions, although we haven't settled the dispute yet."
A call to the Railroad Administration was not returned.
Last week, SEPTA asked the Obama Administration to green light a second board of federal negotiators to find common ground between the transit authority and the BLET. The board's intervention will prevent the 220 workers from striking for another 120 days.
Obama put together the first board on June 14 to pull the engineers back from a strike, which lasted a day.
Bruno said Thursday that SEPTA won't set a start date for a new contract, and won't address recently raised safety issues. "We have not been able to persuade SEPTA to even discuss the safety issues with us at this point."
The contract, which expired five years ago, did not originally include safety concerns.
Williams said "New issues cannot be brought into the (federal negotiation) process."

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications
supports large scale computing in various disciplines and also has in-house research areas such as health sciences, bioinformatics, astronomy, and atmospheric sciences which can benefit from large scale data analysis.
Ian Brooks, who runs the Health Sciences Group currently has a Computer Assistant hourly position available
While the primary focus is computer programming and the job only requires basic data analysis and visualization, he tells me having more advanced data analytic experience would be a nice plus. So if you have the computer skills he's looking for and you are looking for hourly work, this is an opportunity worth considering.
He also tells me that there would be opportunities for a student interested in data exploration (in the public health realm) to do that in his group. They have data from sources including medical visits, weather, school attendance, and vet/med sources and are interested in extracting useful information for public health purposes. Currently this exploratory research would be unpaid and the compensation for these analyses would be shared publication credit, but it would be a good resume builder for anyone who is interested.
You can contact Ian directly at firstname.lastname@example.com about the hourly position or potential exploratory research. There may be future opportunities in his group or other groups in NCSA as well.
I also wanted to make a quick plug for the Virtual Job Board
for students who are looking for work at or near the university and who may not have been aware of the board.

James Metzenbaum, a prominent Cleveland attorney and state senator, founded the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Foundation in memory of his wife, Bessie Benner, who died in 1920. In 1948, The Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Foundation was incorporated and 50 acres of land were deeded to the foundation. Construction of the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Opportunity School began in the summer of 1965 and was finished the following spring. The first full year of operation began in September of 1966, with a class of 59 students.
In 1967, Senate Bill 169 was passed, which provided for county boards of Developmental Disabilities. Since the passage of that bill, the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Center has operated under the name the Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Operating funds are provided by state and local sources, and Medicare provides funds for waivers and the Residential program.
In 1971, The Center received a $350,000 grant for the construction of a sheltered industries facility. In 1976, four residential houses were built on the property, after an additional grant of $100,000 was received from the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Foundation. In 1977, the official name was changed from the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Opportunity School to the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Center in order to incorporate all three facets of the facility: school, workshop and residence.
In 1987, a new Adult Services Workshop was built on the western edge of the property. Major renovations and additions to The Metzenbaum Center, including a physical education facility and a therapy pool, were completed in 1991.
The Metzenbaum Center and the Educational Service Center (ESC) collaborated to provide educational services to preschool and school-age children in the spring of 2011. The ESC currently runs the preschool program, which is housed at Metzenbaum. School-age children receive special education services through their local school district, with nearly $2 million in funding provided by The Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
The Metzenbaum Center currently serves more than 800 individuals and their families in Geauga County. We are proud to serve individuals in Geauga County with developmental disabilities by helping them Live, Learn and Earn in our community.
To date, more than 90 individuals with developmental disabilities have been placed into community employment.

We are thrilled to have joined HERE Arts Center as a HARP artist/co-producer of "Hybrid Suite No. 2: The Carmen Variations" together with InTandem Lab.
"Hybrid Suite No. 2: The Carmen Variations" is an electronic opera structurally inspired by Bizet's Carmen.

Acai berries have always been used by South American natives as a staple component of their diets. It's so widely eaten that it comprises around 42% of the total food intake of the population. Now, some capitalists saw this and realized that there is no such thing as a fat native South American individual and they thought it might be because of their diet. Cultures do play a big part in the way we eat and survive, many cultures do not live on fast food and that is why there are many thin Japanese people for example.

- Lowers blood pressure
- Lower cholesterol

- Helps you sleep better
- Boosts energy levels
- Cleanses and detoxifies the body
- Improves digestive function
- Minimizes inflammation
- Improves blood circulation
- Has high levels of fiber
- Strengthens the immune system
- Promotes healthier and younger-looking skin
- Enhances visual acuity
- ...and much much more
Overall Acai berry proved to be a very good diet supplement with many extra benefits then I expected. Acai berry has changed my life style completely now I feel energetic and confident than ever before. Earlier I use to skip daily work and workouts due to the lethargic nature of the body but now my friends I am able to do them all. It's amazing power to lose weight, increase metabolism and make one energetic I recommend Acai berry to everyone who wants lose weight and gain its number of benefits. I can feel 10 years younger now after starting the Acai berry product. Acai berry cost you little when compared to other products which fail to keep their promise, but Acai berry stands on its promise and more to it give extra health benefits. I say that your search for a good product to include in your weight loss program ends here. Go for Acai berry and enjoy your life full.

The last 10 days has been rough, if you haven't read what I have been going through you can see that here. It is now time to move on and continue living the life that my precious mother gave to me. I am leaving to go back to Panama on Monday the 17th and once I get there I will be focusing more on becoming healthier. waiting for me there is a new product.
The product has been out for quite a while, but this is a new formula. It is called Metabolife ultra
I remember when the original Metabolife came out years ago, my sister lost about 60 lbs and still swears by it to this day.
The Metabolife ULTRA was clinically tested on 100 people that followed a 2000 calorie a day diet and walked 30 minutes a day (that is doable for me). The results of this clinical trial was:
• Lost at least 3 times more weight in 8 weeks than diet and exercise alone*
• Lost 8 more pounds in 8 weeks than diet and exercise alone*
• Reduced waist and hip size in as little as 2 weeks*
• Lost one more pant size in 8 weeks than diet and exercise alone*
• Decreased BMI 3 times more than diet and exercise alone*
Stay tuned for a report on how I like them and my experiences with Metabolife ULTRA in a few weeks!

How to Explain Online Slots to a Friend
If you're reading this, I'm guessing you've got a love for slot machines like me. After all, if you're making the effort to go to a place called Slots of Vegas, your favorite casino game probably isn't Blackjack (though we've got that) or Roulette (though we've got that too). Nor is it video poker (yup, got that) or Craps (me again to let you know that, yup, we've got that as well).
No, you're in love with online slot machines. Maybe a little too much. Maybe your friends don't share your love. Maybe they don't understand the fascination. Or maybe they have no idea what they are or how they work.
Slots are easy to play, but with so many paylines and reels spinning, it can look way more complex than Craps (which really isn't that complicated at all…just check our Craps posts for proof). So today, I'm going to break it all down for you, so you can break it all down for them – in simple terms.
The goal of slot machines
Your goal is simple. Press a button and watch the symbols line up. If you manage to hit the right combination (usually at least three) you win some cash. The amount you'll win depends on which symbols you've lined up and how much they're worth. There's a payout chart in every game that lists everything. Remember, every game is different.
Understanding reels
Every slot machine has a set number of reels. Some have three. Others have five. The reels are what spin round and round. Different symbols rest on the reels. When each one comes to a stop, the game takes a look at all the visible symbols and pays you out if you've lined them up.
Getting to know paylines
Each game comes with a certain number of paylines. To win cash, matching symbols must line up on a payline. Paylines often move in different directions, so in a multi-payline slot machine, you don't necessarily have to match three in a row horizontally. You also don't have to play all the paylines. If a slot machine has 50 paylines, you can often play between one payline and all 50.
Understand betting
To play, you simply hit the Spin button. But you need to make your bet first. The bet amount is usually the bet per payline. You can often bet as little as $0.01 and jump all the way to $5 per payline. In a 25-payline game, that means you can bet a maximum of $100 per spin.
That's pretty much all there is to know. If your friend isn't interested in reading this just tell them to press AutoPlay. The software will do all the work for them so they don't have to lift a finger. See? Way easier than table games.

ENGLAND'S selectors have got to put Kevin Pietersen's name on the team-sheet when they pick their Ashes squad today - if he's fit.
All the debate about whether he should replace Graham Thorpe evaporated in the Brit Oval cauldron yesterday when he emerged as the one batsman in their fragile top order willing, ready and able to dominate the Aussie attack.
The only doubt against the 25-year-old South African is a groin strain which forced him off early in the Australian reply.
But, as long as he regains full fitness in time for the first Ashes clash at Lord's next week, Pietersen is a cert.
His defiance, ability to cope with pressure and exciting stroke-play were the highlights of an otherwise shambolic England performance as Australia warmed up for the Ashes with an eight-wicket win, Adam Gilchrist cracking an unbeaten 121.
Gilchrist needed only 81 balls to claim his 11th ODI century, and the tourists coasted home with 15 overs to spare.
Steve Harmison had a nightmare with 0-81 and Darren Gough's international career is on the brink with only five wickets from his last 15 ODIs when opening the attack.
England captain Michael Vaughan admitted: "Australia will go into the Ashes on a high, but we will pick ourselves up."
Gilchrist said: "We had a slow start to the tour and copped a bit of a pasting on and off the field, but we knew we would be successful if we stuck together." In contrast, England have some headaches. There's no doubt, for instance, that left-handed openers Marcus Trescothick and Andy Strauss are struggling against Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee.
Only Pietersen and supersub Vikram Solanki, who is not in the frame for the Ashes, saved England's blushes yesterday with a free-scoring stand of 93 after linking up at 93-6.
Pietersen, who has a first-class average of 52, can play straight - and proved it as he hauled England out of immediate trouble. Later, he produced some breathtaking shots, notably a swatted six off Jason Gillespie.
But, on a perfect track, in glorious sunshine and with easy 63-yard boundaries, England's total of 227-8 offered the Aussies a golden chance to demolish all the arguments about their class.
By the end of the first 10-over powerplay they were 65-0, and it was all over as a contest.
Pietersen must play
ENGLAND'S selectors have got to put Kevin Pietersen's name on the team-sheet when they pick their Ashes squad today - if he's fit, writes Colin Evans.

Endangered species need our help!
Nearly 25% of all mammals analyzed by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) are threatened with extinction. The situation is even more bleak for fish, birds, insects, and plants. In fact, species are dying at a rate not seen since the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. The number one factor contributing to this decline? Habitat loss.
Habitat loss is driven by human expansion. Across the world, endangered species are losing land to agriculture, housing, roads, pipelines, logging, and other industrial development. In order to ensure the survival of these species, we need to focus on safeguarding wildlife corridors and securing protected areas.
You can help! The best way to protect endangered animals is by protecting their home. When you give directly to GreaterGood.org, you are supporting efforts to save endangered species around the globe, from deserts to rainforests to savannahs. When you protect an acre of land, you help preserve the entire ecosystem—everything from plants and insects to large mammals like elephants and orangutans. With your help, we can save land for endangered species.
Make your donation of $5 or more an ongoing gift by checking the "Make this a Monthly Gift" box and you will save land for endangered species each and every month.
Free Standard Shipping in the U.S. on your entire cart when you donate $15.00 or more in our Gift That Gives More™ program. See Current Promotions for details.
Why a Gift That Gives More™ is a smart, effective donation.
100% of your Gift That Gives More™ donation will go as a charitable gift to GreaterGood.org. GreaterGood stores pay the credit card transaction fee, so every cent of your donation goes to charity. GreaterGood.org has ultimate authority and discretion with regard to the distribution of its funds.

Still not sure if a new ZTE phone is as good of those offered by the competition? ZTE wants to give you the opportunity to get some hands-on time with its smartphones without having to shell out the full price of the phone. ZTE is launching a new lease-to-own program in the US, allowing you to split the cost of the phone over 6 to 24 monthly payments. If you have a ZTE phone for 3 months but don't really like it, simply cancel your lease, return it to ZTE and you're done. Yes, you'll have paid a bit for the 3 months you had with the phone, but at least you didn't pay full price for it.
If you want to keep the phone and upgrade to a new ZTE phone, you can pay off the remaining balance on your lease and start a new lease-to-own agreement with ZTE for another device. ZTE's leasing program isn't much different than the different options currently available from the major service providers. The difference is that you can get any of ZTE's US smartphones and take them between service providers without having to worry about paying the phone off before making the switch.
Be sure to check out the full press release below to get all the details on ZTE's new lease-to-own program.Show Press Release
ZTE Introduces New Lease-to-Own Option for Smartphones and Mobile Devices
ZTE customers can now get a mobile device and pay for it over time
Richardson, Texas – October 14, 2015 – ZTE USA, the fourth largest smartphone supplier in the U.S. and second largest in the no-contract market*, today introduced a lease-to-own payment plan for customers who want to pay for their phone or other mobile device over time and spread out their payments to make it more affordable. This lease-to-own payment option is provided through SmartPay ™ Leasing Inc. and will be available online for all customers beginning soon at www.zteusa.com.
Lease-to-own is available for unlocked devices such as the recently launched Axon Pro and other mobile devices such as the ZTE Spro 2 Smart Projector.
"We are introducing leasing options because we believe advanced mobile technology should be available to everyone. We also want the experience of purchasing and using a ZTE device to be easy for any consumer," said Lixin Cheng, CEO and chairman of ZTE USA. "How customers want to pay versus the amount they are comfortable paying are equally important – and ZTE can provide the best of both worlds."
Leasing options for credit scores of all types
With SmartPay, you can get an immediate approval to lease ZTE devices. If approved, simply select the ZTE device you want, make your first payment at checkout and make scheduled monthly payments thereafter**.
No long-term contracts
The length of a lease plan is determined when you apply and can range from 6 to 24 months. Once all payments are made, the lease is complete and you own the device. You can also pay off your lease early without any penalties or future fees***.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A coalition of Christian organizations is planning to boycott South Africa's TopTV satellite channel, after the company announced it would launch 24-hour porn.
The Family Policy Institute — the main group behind the move — said it will target the station's advertisers and sponsors.
Six Christian organizations have also joined the effort including the Evangelical Alliance of South Africa and the Methodist Church of South Africa.
Errol Naidoo, the Institute's director told TimesLive, "The Christian denominations and church affiliations support the view that the broadcasting of hardcore pornography on television degrades and objectifies women and exposes children to harmful content.
"Millions of Christians will be encouraged to join the mass boycott of TopTV by not paying their subscription fees and canceling their contracts with the pay channel."
Last week, TopTV announced that Playboy TV would be supplying the content for the new channels after the company submitted its application to the South African Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), the local regulator.
Psat, a French-based porn producer run by African Satellite Installations (ASI) is also making a bid to broadcast porn, but has been faced with pushback from TopTV over use of TopTV's satellite dish.
"Christian citizens are sick and tired of the moral decay in society. The sexual degradation of women and children fuelled by pornography contributes significantly to the rape and sexual abuse of women and children in South Africa," Naidoo said.

Harkin Describes Real World Benefits of Affordable Care Act Days Before Second Anniversary of Law
March 22, 2012
Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee
Today, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, spoke on the floor of the Senate to commemorate the second anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act, the health reform law that he helped to craft. Harkin cited the real world impact of the law for individuals like Emily Schlichting, a University of Nebraska student who suffers from a rare auto-immune condition, and Ross Daniels and Amy Ward of West Des Moines, who would have reached their lifetime caps had it not been for the law.
Below are his full remarks as prepared for delivery:
"Two years ago, President Obama signed into law what I believe will be remembered as the most forward-thinking and humane reform of our health care system since Medicare. When the Affordable Care Act became law, I said: We have made America a more compassionate, and more just society. I believe this with even greater conviction now.

What exactly is it?
The Big Design Challenge is a practical way to address Cornwall's issues through community action, inspiring local people to come forward with challenges and design solutions that have potential to improve peoples lives.
We want to find out what issues matter most to people and we have developed this website as a place for sharing ideas and connecting people.
The Big Design Challenge team will also be out an about visiting towns and villages near you throughout November and December 2010.
How does it work?
You are invited to set your challenges and submit ideas for solving them.
Here's an example of a challenge:
How do we … help the 45,000 people in Cornwall who live in fuel poverty?
And here's an example of an idea that could solve this challenge:
We could … train and pay people in the community who have time on their hands to insulate homes.
The website will enable people to browse challenges, add ideas and support ideas that have been submitted. Twitter will also be used to connect people with each other, discuss ideas and collaborate to solve challenges. Our Twitter tag is @bigcornwall.
In January 2011, challenges with the strongest ideas will be selected to receive mentoring and support from designers and businesses. Even if your challenge is not selected however, you may still have an opportunity to present your big idea to a panel of judges in March.
The social or economic nature of your ideas will determine what happens next but we're hoping that they will inspire positive change in Cornwall – perhaps implemented by Cornwall Council as way of improving public services or turned into social enterprises and businesses.
What is the selection process?
How do we choose which challenges receive support?
The ideas with the biggest positive impact to people in Cornwall are most likely to receive support, and this will be determined by the popularity of individual challenges and a committee of five judges, drawn from across the Dott Cornwall organisation partners.
Big positive impact doesn't mean the challenges or ideas have to be big, they just have to have a big impact in a way that improves peoples' lives in Cornwall.
Why do it?
Do it if you believe that local people should be supported to have more involvement in designing solutions to the social challenges they face.
Good for you
By taking part in the Big Design Challenge, you will have an opportunity to have your say and gain an insight into the issues that people living in Cornwall are facing. Your challenges and ideas will be shared and heard by everyone, including government and business leaders who could influence change … for you.
Good for your community
This is an exciting opportunity for you to do something to help your community and improve quality of life for you, your family and your neighbours.
Good for business
You could be part of a team that receives expert business mentoring and design support to develop ideas into a real business opportunity or a social enterprise.
A Cornish Dragons' Den
Support for each challenge team will be focused around developing the "big idea" in readiness for a Dragons Den style pitch to influential judges in March 2011.
The winning team will receive a prize fund worth up to £10,000 to develop the idea further with support from designers and businesses in Cornwall.
Make it count!
As an incentive to get people to submit ideas we've launched a Big Give Collection for ShelterBox and will be adding 10p for a challenge, 20p for an idea and 5p for every comment received.

Shutterstock Bollards just like the ones the Clark County Commission is having set up along the Las Vegas Strip.
Monday, Nov. 13, 2017|10:30 a.m.
Teams are setting up the very first set of bollard safety posts along the southern portion of the Las Vegas that are meant to keep pedestrians safe.
Authorities state the thick steel posts can withstanding impact from a 15,000-pound lorry travelling at 55 miles per hour.
The new precaution comes after drivers plowed down pedestrians in New York and Barcelona, Spain.
It is also in action to a 2015 occasion where cops say a female driver intentionally drove onto the walkway, hitting 37 people and killing one.
Teams began setting up the posts early Monday and will continue working each weekday from midnight to 11 a.m.
. They state it will take several months to install the initial 800 bollards.
Another 7,500 bollards will be installed next year.

Antoinette Miller, women's basketball: The fifth-year all-everything point guard helped the Wesmen nearly upset the No. 2-seed Saskatchewan Huskies in a best-of-three quarterfinal last week. As it was, Miller turned in a quintessential performance to lift the Wesmen to a Game 2 win dropping 31 points, 19 in the second half alone, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals as Winnipeg forced a deciding Game 3 with a 93-85 win in Saskatoon.
For the series, Miller averaged 27 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and even had a four-block effort in Game 3 on Saturday. Miller had 24 points and six rebounds in Game 1 and added 26 points and six rebounds in Game 3.

The Dodge Challenger is one of the vehicles that come to mind when most people try to imagine a muscle car. This classic is now the strongest muscle car in America, providing thrills behind the wheel and aggressive styling you can't miss. With 14 trim levels to choose from, you can configure your Challenger almost exactly how you want, whether you just want a vehicle with its iconic styling or a model that leaves the competition in the dust when accelerating or reaching top speeds. The only way to fall in love with this car is to come in and take it for a spin. Contact us at the dealership in Harvey, LA to schedule a test drive!
One of the big changes you will notice for the 2017 Dodge Challenger is that it features an updated version of the Uconnect infotainment system.

Those interested in customizing the exterior of their Challenger will appreciate the four new colors, bringing the total number of choices up to 13. The new shades are Yellow Jacket, Octane Red, Destroyer Gray, and Green Go.

The Dodge Challenger has a unique history spanning decades, but it had a brief break. The first Dodge Challenger arrived for the 1970 model year, sharing the E-Body platform with a long hood and short neck with the Plymouth Barracuda, but it had a longer wheelbase for more interior room. At first, it was available as a convertible or hardtop with two doors and in four trims. What made it truly impressive was the choice of nine powertrains ranging from a 225-cubic-inch I-6 to a 440-cubic-inch V8 and offering up to 425 horsepower. The 1971 Challenger only saw subtle styling changes, such as changing the single-taillamp design to feature two distinct lights and a new twin-inlet grille that was silver or black, depending on the model. There was also a new coupe featuring fixed quarter windows. The powertrains were also adjusted due to changing EPA emission standards. By 1972, the changing EPA regulations meant there were only three engines, offering 110 to 240 horsepower. The instrument cluster was redesigned for the Rallye option package in 1973, and the 1974 model year got enhanced safety equipment. Dodge ended Challenger production in 1974, but there was an imported two-door coupe available from Mitsubishi from 1978 to 1984. The Dodge Challenger finally made its return at the 2006 North American International Auto Show before the 2008 Challenger SRT8 debuted during the Chicago Auto Show of that year. The 2009 Dodge Challenger later made its debut at the New York International Auto Show before officially returning.
The Dodge Challenger is a sporty car capable of top performance. To view a wide selection of new, used, and pre-owned vehicles, visit Ray Brandt Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Harvey, Louisiana. Our team of trained professionals can answer all your questions and help you get started. Call today to set up a test drive with your favorite model.
