Named scholarships
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today's students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
The need for scholarships grows each year, however, as students continue to face an increased financial burden in pursuit of a college degree. In fact, 94 percent of today's baccalaureate students borrow to pay for college – versus just 45 percent in 1993. Across the country, the average college-related debt for borrowers in the class of 2016 was $37,172; for Ohio students, that figure was $30,239.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to the MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND MOVING FORWARD scholarship campaign, which is the University's most important initiative. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
This is not the page to apply for scholarships.
Students who want to apply for scholarships should visit the scholarship page on the Financial Aid site.
The Department of Development does not accept applications for or distribute scholarships. Scholarships are distributed through the University's Office of Student Financial Aid.

Kerry defends NSA surveillance programs
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry defended the National Security Agency surveillance programs on Monday and downplayed their impact on U.S. efforts to deepen relations with two key allies in Latin America.
Brazil and Colombia, two of the United States' closest friends in the region, have been rankled by reports that citizens of Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and other countries were among the targets of a massive NSA operation to secretly gather information about phone calls and Internet communications worldwide. The disclosures were made by NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
Kerry sought to play down the rift during a press conference in Bogota before heading to Brazil on his first trip to South America as secretary of state.
"Frankly, we work on a huge number of issues and this was in fact a very small part of the overall conversation and one in which I'm confident I was able to explain precisely that this has received the support of all three branches of our government," Kerry said. "It has been completely conducted under our Constitution and the law. ... The president has taken great steps in the last few days ... to reassure people of the U.S. intentions here."
He referenced the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "It's obvious to everybody that this is a dangerous world we're living in ... we are necessarily engaged in a very complex effort to prevent terrorists from taking innocent lives."
Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin said Colombia officials had traveled to Washington to learn more about the surveillance program. "We have received the necessary assurances to continue to work on this," she said through a translator.
In her opening remarks, Holguin said she appreciated Kerry's efforts to restart the Mideast peace talks.
Kerry said he doesn't think the recent flap over Israeli settlement announcements will derail the second round of Mideast peace talks this week in the region.
Israel approved building nearly 1,200 more settlement homes Sunday — the third settlement announcement in a week. It fueled Palestinian fears of a new Israeli construction spurt under the cover of U.S.-sponsored negotiations.
"The announcements with respect to settlements were to some degree expected because we have known that there was going to be a continuation of some building in certain places," Kerry said. "And I think the Palestinians understand that. I think one of the announcements was outside of that expectation and that's being discussed right now."
He restated the U.S. position that it views the settlements as illegitimate. He said the recent controversy underscored the importance of getting to the negotiating table quickly and resolving the questions with respect to settlements.
"Once you have security and borders solved, you have resolved the question of settlements," he said. "With the negotiation of major issues, these kind of hotpoint issues ... are eliminated as the kind of flashpoints that they may be viewed today."
He said he expected to talk with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the issue later today or tomorrow. "I'm sure we will work out a path forward."
Kerry arrived late Sunday in Bogota, the Colombian capital, at a time when the country is holding peace talks to end a half century-old conflict with the Western Hemisphere's most potent rebel army. The rebel force has diminished in strength thanks in considerable measure to U.S. military and intelligence support. Kerry's discussions in Colombia also focused on trade, energy and counternarcotics and he met with Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos.
"Colombia is a success story," Kerry said. "The Santos administration has taken a very courageous and very necessary and very imaginative effort to seek a political solution to one of the world's longest conflicts."
Kerry began the day by having breakfast with two negotiators from the Colombian government, which has been conducting peace talks in Havana, Cuba, with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia since last year. Formed in the 1960s, the FARC is the oldest active guerrilla band in the Western Hemisphere. Observers say the FARC currently has about 8,000 armed fighters.
After breakfast at his hotel, Kerry visited a gymnasium where members of the Colombia police and army, many who have lost limbs in the conflict, were playing rugby in wheelchairs reinforced with hard plastic instead of spokes. The chairs were designed to take a beating and during the game, and some players collided so violently that their chairs overturned on the court.
Kerry rolled up one of his pants legs, a national show of support for those who have lost their limbs in the fighting.
Then he walked to the other side of the gym to watch amputees playing volleyball. They used their hands to move themselves around the floor and spike the ball from sitting positions. Kerry got into the game and scooted along the floor in his suit, reaching from side to side to tap the ball over the net.
Before leaving for Brazil, Kerry visited the headquarters of the Colombian National Police Counter-Narcotics Directorate for a briefing on the U.S.-Colombia partnership on fighting drugs, progress that has been made during the past decade, and an update on Colombia's efforts to share its expertise in security work with other countries in the region. Colombia has helped to train more than 13,000 international police personnel from 25 Latin American countries and more than 20 other countries since 2009.
According to the State Department, Colombia has seen a 53 percent reduction in the cultivation of coca since 2007. Last year, Colombian authorities reported a record seizure of 279 metric tons of cocaine and cocaine products in the country and abroad.
The Colombian government has increasingly assumed operational and financial responsibility for many U.S.-backed drug-fighting programs, has worked to dramatically reduce kidnappings and political assassinations and disrupt illegal narcotics trafficking with the help of more than $8.5 billion from the U.S. since 2000.
But U.S. assistance to Colombia has been gradually decreasing, falling from $287 million in fiscal 2008 to $161 million in fiscal 2012.

More than 90% of all transactions at stocklots24 run smoothly.
In the other transactions it is usually a question of misunderstandings, which are mutually resolved most of the time.
Remaining stocks are surplus goods which are also sold as special items. If you receive an offer of genuine remaining stock you should buy it up completely if possible, so that you can be sure you will be the only supplier of these goods for a short time at least.
Traders of remaining stocks are traders who specialise exclusively in remaining stock, special items and insolvency goods. Even allowing for their profits margins value good can still be bought from traders of remaining stock.
We all know second hand goods/seconds from the supermarket, e.g. clothes. In the merchandise trade it describes goods and items with, for example, have small defects. Seconds are items which have been unwrapped just once and shown to or viewed by a customer or returned from mail order companies. They also include items which have small defects, as-new demonstration models, sample items and display items as well as packaging damage, in which the original packaging was damaged or is missing.
Failing companies often end up becoming insolvent. Insolvency goods are left after clearance sales and insolvency sales. The problem is that the insolvency goods are often mixed lots and can also contain returned goods.
Bankruptcy goods should be bought directly from the appointed receiver. It is also advisable to buy the complete lot of bankruptcy goods otherwise you will not be the only supplier of these goods.
Retail trade is a form of commercial enterprise which aims to sell the goods to the end customer or end user in small quantities. The total turnover of retail trade is around 400bn euros.
Retail traders are, among other things, the mail order business, e-commerce, teleshopping, shops and itinerant trade on markets and door-to-door selling. Retail traders can also be found in galleries, shopping arcades, retail parks, and recently in so-called retail outlets.
In comparison wholesale is aimed at resellers. Wholesale takes place when wholesalers sell goods, which they do not normally process or handle themselves, such as merchandise, from producers or other suppliers to resellers, processors, professional users, authorities, educational establishments or other institutions, canteens, clubs, as long as it does not involve private households. Institutionally, wholesale, also described as wholesale companies, wholesale outlets or wholesale operations, include those institutions whose business activities can be solely or predominantly included as wholesale. In official statistics a business or company is classified as being wholesale if a greater net product results from wholesale activities than a second or various activities. Wholesale is seen as a link between the various stages of distribution. Buyers of wholesale are businesses of the retail trade, trade customers, the catering industry, regional wholesalers, industrial or other commercial enterprises. Decisions about the selection of wholesale according to type and amount count towards distribution policy as part of the industrial marketing mix. Wholesalers also have a wide spectrum of independent retail marketing instruments at their disposal, so-called wholesale marketing. Professional wholesale marketing is absolutely vital due to the danger of being cut-off, meaning not enough suppliers and customers can be found. Contractual vertical and horizontal cooperation which arise from wholesale act against the danger of being cut-off, for example, authorised dealers, exclusive distribution, cooperative societies as a purchasing centre for retail traders or a central system of wholesale organised by the involvement of retail trade businesses in a retail cooperative, such as a voluntary chain or a purchasing syndicate.
In contrast to A-stock and C-stock goods, items described as B-stock are goods which are excluded from usual sale and are offered at a special price or at outlet stores, even though they are new or as-new and are in fully working order and are subject to the usual guarantee. It can involve items no longer in original packaging, but which are new, items which have been unwrapped just once and shown to or viewed by a customer or returned from mail order companies. They also include items which have small defects, as-new demonstration models, sample items and display items as well as packaging damage, in which the original packaging was damaged or is missing. Otherwise these products may have no other optical damage, especially those which would cause them not to work. Items described as B-stock are often remaining stock, special items or surplus goods and swap stocks.
The special stock market is a form of retail trade which has a constantly changing range of low-priced articles. They are often called junk shops. Small special stock markets are frequently operated by retail traders and retail trade businesses in town or city centres. Meanwhile some special stock markets are operated as international trade chains which are supplied by huge central warehouses. Other types of retail trade, especially discounters, department stores, DIY superstores, chemists and textile chains have integrated permanent departments with special items for sale. However, these discounters only have a small range of so-called fast-moving items which are quickly sold in a few days.
A reseller is a seller who sells on the goods which he has bought previously. So resellers are positioned between the suppliers and the customers. The reseller can sell the items under his own brand name or create his own brand out of an existing one. The biggest margin for resellers is in the area of brand name clothing and fashion. There is a fluid transition from reseller to franchises or affiliates.
FMCG's are products which are sold quickly at relatively low cost. Though the total profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally sell in large quantities, so the cumulative profit on such products can be large. Examples of FMCGs generally include a wide range of frequently purchased consumer products such as toiletries, soap, cosmetics, teeth cleaning products, shaving products and detergents, as well as other non-durables such as glassware, light bulbs, batteries, paper products and plastic goods. Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) may also include pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, packaged food products and drinks, although these are often categorised separately. Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products contrast with durable goods or major appliances such as kitchen appliances, which are generally replaced less than once a year. In Britain white goods as part of FMCGs refer to large household electronic items such as refrigerators. Smaller items such as TVs, internet equipment and stereo systems are sometimes termed brown goods.

Self-Driving Nissan Electric Car Takes to Highway
Nissan Motor Co. said a self-driving version of its electric Leaf car made its first foray onto public roads. Its guidance system, called Autonomous Drive, senses road conditions and operates the car's steering, acceleration and braking as it merges into traffic, changes lanes and makes adjustments to keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
The Leaf drove on Japan's Sagami Expressway in Kanagawa prefecture, southwest of Tokyo. Nissan vice chairman Toshiyuki Shiga and the prefecture's Governor, Yuji Kuroiwa, rode in the car during the test, which marked a major step toward Nissan's goal of selling self-driving cars to consumers by 2020.
A bigger step might be getting today's drivers to accept them. Indeed, the technology allowing cars to drive themselves has essentially been in place for years, waiting for motorist culture to catch up.
Many car makers have experimented with autonomous passenger vehicles in part as a way to increase safety and efficiency. Technology company Google has a fleet of self-driving cars that have been on the road for years. Some safety experts have long said our highways would be much safer if cars drove themselves, cutting the chance of human error

Dynamic Programming is a discrete optimization technique. It means, the variables we want to calculate using this method are discrete. As an example, if x is one such variable then is acceptable, but 'x is a real number between 0 and 1′ is NOT acceptable since there are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. In math terms, we can say that the domain of the variable x is a countable set.
Problems that are solved by dynamic programming are recursive nature. Let's look at the problem that ask us to calculate the sum up to a number, i.e., if is such a function then . The recursive definition (assuming i is non negative) is following:

All About Cherries
In the United States, a majority of cherries are grown in the Northwest states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Utah. Cherries from this region are typically only around for a few short months, so be sure to buy them while available!
How to shop for them: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Customers can start looking for cherries in early June and will usually be able to purchase them well into August. You should look for cherries that are firm, plump, shiny, and have bright-green stems attached. Try to avoid cherries that are soft, shriveled, or have blemishes and brown spots.
How to store them:
Cherries are best stored in the refrigerator, and they'll actually keep for several days that way. However, if you have an abundance of cherries and you don't think you'll eat them all before they start to head south, you can freeze them.
There are a couple ways to freeze cherries, so pick the one that works best for you. For any method, first be sure to wash and dry the cherries thoroughly. My preferred method of freezing cherries is as follows:
- Place the cherries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place in the freezer until cherries are frozen.
- Remove the tray from the freezer, and pack the cherries into freezer bags, making sure to remove any excess air.
- Label the freezer bags with the date they were frozen.
- Keep frozen cherries up to four months.
How to prepare them:
Cherries require very little prep work for snacking. The minimal amount of preparation you can have with cherries is simply running them under water prior to eating. From there you can pop them straight into your mouth and enjoy them raw – just beware of the hard pit!
If you plan to use fresh cherries in a recipe, you'll want to remove their pits ahead of time. Pitting cherries can be a labor of love, but it's always well worth it for recipes that call for cherries. There are many ways to remove a cherry pit, the best way being whichever way you enjoy the most! One tried and true method is to spend a few extra dollars and invest in a cherry pitter. A good cherry pitter can make removing those pesky pits a fun activity for kids and adults alike!
How to eat them:
There are so many ways to enjoy one of summertime's favorite fruits! On a hot summer day, combine pitted cherries, fresh-squeezed lime juice, a little bit of sugar and ice-cold water – blend together for a sweet and tart cherry limeade!
Or, try making a fresh cherry salsa – eat the salsa with corn chips, or use as a topping for fish tacos. In a bowl, add chopped cherries, red onion, fresh cilantro, jalapeno, fresh lime juice and a little salt and pepper. This is a great salsa for anyone who likes a sweet & spicy combo!
If you're feeling on the spunkier side, I highly recommend this unique recipe for a Cherry Balsamic Parfait.
- 2 cups cherries, pitted
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- Sliced almonds, optional
- Combine cherries, water and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the cherry mixture for about 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Occasionally stir and mash the mixture.
- Once thick, remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Stir lemon zest and almond extract into yogurt.
- Layer yogurt and cherry mixture in a glass.
- Top with sliced almonds – optional.
Nutritional highlights:
Cherries, like all fruits and vegetables, are full of vitamins and minerals that help keep our bodies working at their best! On top of that, cherries are often considered an antioxidant powerhouse. They have phytonutrients called anthocyanins and quercetin, which help keep our cells as healthy as can be!

Joseph Ujobai, an executive vice president at SEI Investments (SEIC), purchased 5,000 shares of the company's stock on Dec. 17 at an average price of $22.56 per share. This gives Ujobai almost 13,000 shares held directly in the wealth management and investment advisory company. Interestingly, he had sold 42,500 shares in early November at a slightly lower price.
So it's possible that he has changed his mind about the company's prospects -- generally, for an insider to buy shares in the company that's responsible for their income they would have to be -- but there may be some other explanation here. We'd also note that several other company officers are selling shares, though insider selling is generally not that informative as the principles of diversification mean that it makes sense for insiders to sell.
Revenue was up 8% in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011, and higher than the average amount SEI had earned per quarter in the first half of 2012 as well. However, costs have also risen and the result was that SEI reported only a 3% increase in net income. Sales were up for all four of the company's primary classes of clients: private banks, investment advisors, institutional investors and investment managers.
Given this fairly modest growth, it's surprising to see SEI trading at 21 times the company's trailing earnings. Even if we annualize its most recent quarter, we get a P/E of 20. Certainly growth could lead net income even higher, but we think that a higher growth rate would be necessary to justify the current valuation.
Sell-side analysts expect $1.43 in earnings per share in 2013, a 21% increase from what is expected for this year, and that growth rate seems high to us. The company announced plans to expand its stock repurchasing program -- it had reported almost $400 million in cash and cash equivalents on its most recent balance sheet compared to about $230 million in total liabilities, so it has plenty of room to do so. But we think there would have to be an acceleration of earnings growth as well to hit that target. In addition, this projection implies a forward P/E of 16, which would require SEI to achieve additional growth beyond that point.
We think it's useful to compare SEI to two larger peers, Bank of New York Mellon (BK) and State Street (STT). While there are of course differences between these three companies' business mixes, BNY Mellon and State Street are comparable and their trailing earnings multiples are in the 12 to 14 range. In addition, in the third quarter each of these two companies reported a double-digit percentage increase in earnings compared to a year ago.
It's also possible that Ujobai's purchase came because he expects developments that will benefit the entire asset management industry, not just SEI, and these trends would benefit these companies as well. As a result we think that they are better places for an investor to look for value.
Insider purchases are generally bullish signals, and it's possible that SEI in particular is going to perform well going forward. However, in a way we have a net sale of shares here, given the fact that Ujobai sold a larger number of shares fairly recently, so perhaps the purchase should not be as meaningful. The stock has a higher valuation than we are comfortable with, given its recent quarterly report, and in particular SEI is trading higher than two larger-cap peers. It seems best to avoid the stock.

MASTS Reader in Biology
"The true biologist deals with life, with teeming boisterous life, and learns something from it, learns that the first rule of life is living"
John Steinbeck, The Log from the Sea of Cortez
I am a Reader in Biology supported by the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology Scotland (MASTS). I am affiliated with the Scottish Ocean Institute, Sea Mammal Research Unit, the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Centre for Social Learning and Cognitive Evolution, and the Institute of Behavioural and Neural Sciences.
I have broad research interests, largely centred around the evolution of learning, behaviour and communication, with a special focus on marine mammals.
Latest paper(s)

In this study we investigated whether archerfish display any behavioural changes in response to the presence of an audience while using their specialized foraging tactic of spitting precisely aimed jets of water at prey targets. We found that in the presence of another fish, archerfish took longer to shoot, made more orientations (aiming events) per shot, and tended to be closer to the target at the time of shooting. Our results show that archerfish are sensitive to, and adjust their shooting behaviour in response to, the presence of an audience and highlight the importance of social context in this fish species.
Elena Miu, Ned Gulley, Kevin N. Laland & Luke Rendell (2018) Innovation and cumulative culture through tweaks and leaps in online programming contests. Nature Communications volume 9
The ability to build progressively on the achievements of earlier generations is central to human uniqueness, but experimental investigations of this cumulative cultural evolution lack real-world complexity. We studied the dynamics of cumulative culture using a large-scale data set from online collaborative programming competitions run over 14 years. Results showed that cumulative cultural evolution reduces technological diversity over time, as populations focus on refining high-performance solutions. While individual entries borrow from few sources, iterative copying allows populations to integrate ideas from many sources, demonstrating a new form of collective intelligence. Our results imply that maximising technological progress requires accepting high levels of failure.

Sperm whale society and ecology
I have been studying the ecology, communication and societies of sperm whales, the largest of the toothed whales, showing how long lasting social groups use distinctive vocal dialects that appear to be culturally transmitted. Part of this work is my involvement in running the Balearics Sperm Whale Project and as a collaborator of the Dominica Sperm Whale Project.
Culture in whales and dolphins
In whales and dolphins we find examples of both complex communication and apparently widespread social learning, a simple form of culture. I am using statistical models to assess the evidence for social learning in wild cetaceans.
Evolutionary modelling
I also use evolutionary simulation models to understand how these processes like social learning might have evolved, and how they might be related to the evolution of other kinds of behaviour, such as cooperation and niche-construction.
Human social learning
I use experimental approaches to understand how we negotiate the trade-offs involved in deciding whether to use social information to make simple decisions, as a window into how we have evolved to make best use of our cultural inheritance.
East Coast Marine Mammal Acoustic Study (ECOMMAS)
We are deploying passive listening buoys along the Scottish coastline in collaboration with Marine Scotland Science to monitor the impact of coastal windfarm development and also to give insight into acoustic behaviour of marine mammals.

Kieron Gillen unwittingly provides the slogan for the Tumblr years. (via)
It's not a bad one, as accidental slogans go. (Though I am still sad that "It's all about control, Luigi" never caught on. It could have been the new "son i am disappoint.") Though it's interesting to me that Tumblr's own gif tumblr hasn't been active in months. The Storyboard team there got fired recently, replaced by an algorithmic solution to surfacing content that was rolled back the same day because it didn't work. Amusingly, it turned out today that the statement about the Storyboard group firing was actually written by one of them.
It's a very Tumblr thing. Kieron's tumbling through the servers now, alive and looping as pure Tumblarity. Tumblr loves nothing more than a GIF.
I don't have much of a presence on Tumblr, but I like it there. I loved the early tumblelogs that Tumblr moved so quickly to emulate, and what they've made out of that cheeky sticky-fingeredness is quite remarkable. Especially given that they seem to have no visible business model beyond convincing investors to give them money. Which, I guess, is also impressive: until such time as they have to monetise and their actions in that regard impinge on the tastes of a user base sometimes as touchy and rabid as the old LiveJournal crowd.
I'd like to think that Tumblr will solve their obvious problems before they crash down like asteroids. I'd also like to think that most users have copies of their most-loved Tumblr posts. The year of All I Want To Be Is A GIF would be a very sad thing to look back on, if it turned out you've died when the servers were switched off.

Giambi expecting to be activated in September
Indians slugger playing role of leader since going on the disabled list in June
NEW YORK -- Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi either has the best job in baseball or the worst one. For the past two months, the aging slugger has remained in the locker room, while residing on the disabled list with a knee issue that is no longer of much concern.
The 43-year-old Giambi has willingly embraced his role as a clubhouse leader and accepted his place on the DL in order to help Cleveland better manage its roster. With the season now into August, Giambi is not expecting to be activated until rosters expand beyond the 25-man limit on Sept. 1.
"I'm moving around fine. I feel good," Giambi said on Friday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. "But, unless something happens, I'm going to probably assume it'll be in September."
Indians manager Terry Francona said Giambi's activation might come sooner.
"It could be before September," Francona said. "But, that'd be at the latest. I'd love to get him back sooner, just because I'd like to look out for him, but we'll see. I know it's tough, but the good thing is he has handled it really well."
Giambi, who has been shelved since June 12 with what the club described as left knee inflammation, admitted that his situation has indeed been hard at times. After 20 seasons in the Majors, though, the DH and pinch-hitter understands he can still help the team without stepping into the batter's box.
"It's tough. It's tough sitting," said Giambi, who has hit .128 with two home runs in 47 at-bats this season. "But, at the same time, that's why I came here, to help the kids and help us go through our ups and downs. It's been going good. Actually, it's been easier to help the guys, because I don't have to worry about pinch-hitting.
"It's easier to help them with their game plans during the game and after the game, things like that. I'm just kind of waiting for my time. I've got plenty to do, so it's not like I'm sitting doing nothing. That's what happens when you don't play a spot anymore. That makes it tough. But, I'm not worried about it. Whatever works best for the team."
Giambi is, however, looking forward to stepping to the plate again for Cleveland.
"It'd be fun. It'd be exciting," he said. "But the biggest thing is, I need to help these guys now or September isn't going to mean anything. That's my most important role right now. That's what my approach is."

If you haven't had a chance to scroll through Candy Pratts Price's Spring Trends slideshow on Style.com yet, definitely give yourself a few minutes to check out some must-have items for 2010. I, personally, am a shoe person, and sometimes I think those little accessories can tell you a lot of what you need to know about trends as a whole.
Take, for example, the brand new bold leather shoes by Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga and Nicholas Kirkwood (above, left-right). Just a little punch of neon definitely goes a long way — imagine any of these peep-toes paired with basic black, and guess which will stand out more. This really continues to make the case for neon accents for spring, so make sure to include a pop of ultra-bright color in your upcoming buys!

Fra: Hubert Smith Til: H.C. Andersen
Sprog: engelsk.
13th July /51. Address: St. Leonards, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, England.
Dear Sir,
The perusal of "A true Story of your Life" gave me a sort of friendly feeling towards the writer, which I own has. induced me to pen this letter, not that your name was unknown to me before, for during a visit to Copenhagen last summer, where I experienced much pleasure and I may add Instruction and advantage, I often heard your name pronounced when I made enquiries about Danish Literature and Denmark's Authors; and even before I knew whowas the Author, the "Eventyr" was one of my purehases from a certain originality and quaint conception in the engravings which pleased me and which could only have been derived from the tales which they illustrated.
When I had bought the Book I must confess that my scanty knowledge of the Danish Language did not enable me. to understand or appreciate the tales, yet singular enough during my sojoum at Berlin, before my return to England, I met with Mr. Hamilton who often mentioned you and who was kind enough to translate some of your tales which pleased and gratified me. But to mention the subject of my Letter. This year the "Exhibition" is the centre of attraction in England and yon may visit it. Should yon do so, a visit to my House for 2 or 3 weeks would give me pleasure. The County where I reside is not far from one of the main lines of Railway from London, and on reaching the Town of Bridgnorth, I am there well known. The County itself is most picturesque, and the greater part of it formed anciently part of the Marches or frontiers of the Principality of Wales, a line of country famous in that time for its Brides, wars, feuds, but now for tradition and beautiful scenery. I do not expect yon will experience any difficulty as to language, for I recollect some lines of yours referring to a visit in Scotland. Trusting you will favor me with a few lines as to whether and when I am to expect you, and assuring you a hearty welcome should you feel inclined to visit me . . .
[Efter et langt fransk citat om venskab slutter brevet:]
Should we meet, adien till then; if that event never happens still, Believe me, my dear Sir, to remain, yours very truly,
Hubert Smith

As Apple and Samsung continue to battle over product design, a possible new HP tablet has popped up in their marketing fluff with an intriguing look (see those tapered edges?! SEE?!). But considering that a successful tablet design is one with as little weight and volume around the screen as possible, is there still room for a design that's not only original, but visually exciting?
I'm starting to think not. [via The Verge]

An anti-cycling rant, a celebrity cyclist and an apology
Sports radio loudmouth Tony Kornheiser recently went on an outrageous anti-cycling rant that advocated vehicular assault. I'm serious. A few excerpts from his comments on Washington's ESPN980, which got attention far beyond the nation's capital:
"Run them down, like Wile Coyote's, run them over. Just stay on the right. Stay on the right."
"And they all wear … my God … with the little water bottle in the back and their stupid hats and their shiny shorts, they are the same disgusting poseurs that come out in the middle of a snow storm with cross country skiing on your block. Run them down."
"Why do these people think that these roads were built for bicycles?"
"And so you tap them. I'm not saying you kill them. I'm saying you tap them. Tap them once."
My first reaction was: I hope this fat slob has a heart attack. Not a fatal one. Just "a tap" to get his attention.
Kornheiser has apologized after being deluged by criticism — even Lance Armstrong weighed in — so I'm no longer hoping Kornheiser gets to experience a myocardial infarction. But I'm still angry.
It seems when Armstrong heard about Kornheiser's rant and tweeted about it ("Disgusting … ignorant … foolish … what a complete … idiot"), a lot of people got angry. Armstrong has 2,460,312 Twitter followers (as of this morning) and apparently a lot of them let Kornheiser have it.
"The level of scrutiny I'm getting," Kornheiser said on a subsequent show last week, "is scary for me."
Apparently it also made him realize he was out of line and his rant wasn't funny (Is Kornheiser ever funny?), so he had Armstrong on his show to make amends. A few comments from Armstrong:
"So many times, people get in their car and drive a mile. Why wouldn't you just get on your bike? That's good for all of us."
"Look at the stats … 40 years ago, 40 percent of our kids rode their bikes to school and the obesity rate was 14 percent. Today, you know how many kids ride their bike to school? Three percent of our kids ride their bikes to school. You know why? Because parents are afraid to put their kids on the street, they're afraid they're going to ride a mile to school and get run over."
We've been over this ground before. Cyclists have a right to be on the road. Some cyclists do dumb things, but most of us don't, because almost all of us are motorists as well and we know we can't win an altercation with an automobile. We understand you don't like to be inconvenienced when we get in your way. What about that bus in front of you? You want to ban buses, too? Cycling is good for you. You ought to try it.
Kornheiser deserves credit for apologizing, but the hostility he expressed reveals a resentment he most likely still harbors. Kornheiser thinks cyclists — and people who get on their cross country skis when it snows — are poseurs. No, Tony, they're actually people who believe in the value of physical fitness. Good grief, what's wrong with getting on your bike when the weather is nice, or skiing in a public park when it snows?

Wed, Apr 28
So, Im joining Twitter this Saturday.
And, eventually, whatever replaces it.
I was on Friendster. It collapsed. I jumped on MySpace, and now it's pretty much an abandoned shopping mall. I still get about 30 Friend Requests and 15 messages in my Inbox every day, but they're all mailing list bullshit for bands I'll never listen to, or porno-bots promoting some young Eurasian hottie. Even the comments are clearly all bot-generated. An abandoned mall still had trash, heating and cleaning services drop by, I guess.
I'll still update my calendar and galleries here, but that'll be about it.
Don't feel bad, MySpace. Facebook is also, clearly, on the way out. Constant spam ads, weird privacy wormholes -- yuck. Any social networking site, like a great punk band or TV show, has entropy and collapse built into its biography.
Remember how fun Friendster was for those three or four months?
And Twitter will collapse, too. What will replace it? Here are my 3 predictions:
BlipBlap: Basically Twitter, but only 17 characters allowed, and no vowels. Xclnt!
Wh1ff: The first-ever "scent site" -- you update your status from an "odor board" of 170 different scents. "(Snnnnnnfff) Patton had chili for lunch and he's somewhere humid."
DanzaQuip: Every single status update on this site is first sent to Tony Danza's personal e-mail. He then decides which ones to post, and is the only one who can respond or comment. (*This site will replace the U.S. Post Office in 2027)

Growing up I was surrounded by entrepreneurs. All of my uncles on my mom's side of the family ran successful businesses, and I learned that working for yourself was a great way to improve your lifestyle.
No surprise then that I now own a few businesses of my own. But I made lots of mistakes getting started, mistakes I could've avoided if I'd known a few things.
Here are seventeen mistakes that you should avoid:
Sell Something Legal
Selling something legal may sound obvious to anyone in business, but trust me, when it comes to wanting to make money you will likely consider a lot of ideas… some legal, some illegal and some in between.
While still in high school I sold CDs and black boxes. I was only making a few dollars off of each CD, so I turned to the black boxes, which made me a little more money. Unfortunately at that time I wasn't clear on exactly what was legal or not so I decided to get out of it.
You don't want to make a lot of money and then lose it all because you are on the wrong side of the law.
Sell Something People Can Afford
I once took a job selling high-end vacuums. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to convince people that they needed the vacuums, and it helped that I would shampoo and clean their carpets during my sales presentation for free.
But these were $1,600 vacuums and most people couldn't afford them. I did happen to sell one to an Indian couple, who are known to be frugal, but they returned it a week later!
Find out what people can pay for a product before you design it, and while you won't get rich quick this way you'll definitely find it easier to sell your product.
You Must Market Your Product to Succeed
I enjoyed working and finding new jobs because each time I was making a little bit more money. I liked making more money because I wanted to change my lifestyle and eventually help other people do the same.
But I realized it was going to take me forever unless I figured out how to create a $100 million dollar company.
Monster.com's business model and the amount of money they made fascinated me, so I decided to build a competing model. I called it Advice Monkey.
I spent five grand building the product and watched Advice Monkey go nowhere. I needed to market it or it was going to sink.
I ended up hiring a total of three companies to help me market this business, but all three wasted my money without any kind of return! That's why I decided to learn Internet marketing.
In time I grew the site to be pretty popular and even created some buzz in the media, but I ended up having another problem: it couldn't do credit card transactions.
If people don't know about your great product, then they can't buy your great product. It's that simple.
Make Payments Easy
The lesson I learned from Advice Monkey was that if you wanted to make money you needed to make it simple for people to pay you.
Of course you have to provide a valuable product, something people want or need, but if you don't make it easy for them to pay you, you're business will suffer and eventually fail.
I've learned that whether you are providing a service like consulting or a product like software, you should provide the simplest, most common and fastest way for people to pay.
If you make it hard then you are simply giving people an excuse to delay paying you or even giving them an excuse to go to your competitor who does make it easy. Don't do that because it could be a million dollar mistake.
Solve Problems Customers Are Facing
My really first successful company was Crazy Egg. It was successful because my business partner and I realized that the best way to build a business was to find some problem people or companies have and try to solve that problem.
Besides, it makes it really easy to close sales when you can show a potential client what their problem is and how your product solves that problem. The best businesses are the ones that solve problems.
Do It in a Simple Way
Have you ever noticed how simple the best products are? You don't need a degree in rocket science to understand how to use a bicycle, drill or personal computer, nor do you need one to understand how they can help you.
I've seen lots of products and ideas fail because they were too hard to understand. They might've solved your problem but it cost too much to do it or they took too many steps to do it.
Remember that people want their problems solved in the easiest way possible, so keep it simple.
Be Patient
My business partner and I thought we had struck it rich when we started Crazy Egg. Here was a product that was simple and solved people's problem. The money should roll in, right?
Not exactly.
We watched the popularity and interest in the company grow, and knew it was just a matter of time before somebody offered us $10 million dollars for it.
It never happened and we eventually had to bootstrap it to keep it going. We didn't understand why this was happening, but we loved Crazy Egg and so kept with it.
I'm glad we did because about three years after we started Crazy Egg it became profitable. The lesson I learned is you must be patient when it comes to software companies because it takes a few years for them to take off.
Charge More
I think the tendency when it comes to running a business is to keep your fees low so you attract a wider audience. The only problem with that is you will also attract more people who will complain.
Charging premium prices, especially when you are consulting, does a few things for you:
• You appear as someone who knows what he is talking about.
• You will hear fewer complaints. People and companies who have the money to afford you won't usually make snarky comments about how much they are charging you.
• You can work harder for one person rather than work mediocre for a lot more people.
• Your reputation will grow as your provide excellent customer service.
Know what your competitors are charging so you can price yourself right. You may be surprised at what people are willing to pay.
Go After the Big Guys
One thing I like to tell people is to offer to do the work for a small paying client for free if they can make an introduction for you to a large paying company.
Does doing work for free scare you? Think about it this way, if that small company is paying you $5,000 a month, but that large company can pay you $100,000, you will make $95,000 more.
That's a huge increase in income, so think big and go after the big guys!
Conserve Cash
I understand I am young, but I have experienced a lot of bad times in the business world, and the number one thing that I learned is cash is king.
If you don't have cash coming in, you will not survive. And if cash is coming in, especially a lot of it, you need to learn how to save, both for the business and for yourself.
Because the economy is like a rollercoaster you could enjoy a few years of making a lot of money. But trust me when I say there will come a time when you will not make very much money.
Resist the urge to pay yourself handsomely and buy expensive office furniture. Your business will weather any financial storm and your employees will thank you!
Never Stop Closing
One of the most important things to remember when you are building a business is that you must always be looking for clients and ways to get them to work with you.
Never get comfortable because you have a handful of clients locked down or you have momentum with your software product.
It's so important to constantly network, look for business and sell people on working with you. And if you get in a situation where you can't handle the extra workload, hire temporary help to handle it until you can justify bringing in more people.
Boy, was I all over the place during the time I was learning all of these lessons about business. And I think that hurt me because I was spreading myself too thin.
One of the reasons Steve Jobs and Apple were so successful was they focused. They didn't have a bunch of products, even though you might think they did. They had only a handful.
That allowed them to do several things very well:
• They could listen closely to what their customers were saying.
• They could create the products to meet the needs and desires of those customers.
• They could make those products the best in their category.
If you are not focused you will not be able to do a good job on your business. Find the things in your business that make you the most money and focus on them. Eliminate everything else!
Always Find Your Passion
When I was doing Internet marketing for companies I was making a lot of money. I was very grateful for that and I was very grateful to the people who helped me build that company.
But it wasn't very much fun. It felt like a job, and I knew that if I was going to be successful long-term I needed to find what I really enjoyed doing.
Why is this important?
I work 70 hours a week on my businesses, and I'm sure most entrepreneurs work that hard. Some may put in more hours, some may put in a few less.
But I don't really think of it as work because I enjoy what I do. I really have a passion for it. If you're not passionate about what you do, stop right now and think about what you really want to do.
Learn, Learn and Learn Some More
Even when I was in high school and working on my own business, I was taking classes at the community college. My uncles had taught me that entrepreneurs never stopped learning.
I loved learning so I kept doing it.
Learning is hard work and I can't say that I've always enjoyed working so hard to learn. And sometimes I even felt like I knew everything about a certain business or topic, so didn't need to learn anything.
How wrong I was!
I encourage you to keep the mindset that you can learn from anybody no matter who they are, and that in the end you don't know everything. If you do this I'm certain you will grow wise in the ways of business.
Good Help Costs Money
When I was starting out I didn't pay much attention to who I hired. Sometimes I'd hire people I knew or I'd hire someone based upon a recommendation from a friend.
I learned that was not the right approach to hiring people. Some times people are just looking for a job and need a paycheck, and soon they take you for granted they don't work as hard as when they first joined.
Spend time finding good help and don't be afraid to pay them good money. Think of it as an investment, where you need to figure out your ROI on that person. And then measure their success.
Do this and I'm pretty sure they'll turn out to be a great benefit to you.
Emotions Rule
It would've been really great to know that people buy things based upon emotion when starting out. What I mean by that is the purpose most people buy a product is because of a feeling they have, like fear or pride.
For example, people buy car insurance because they are afraid of losing all their money if they get in a wreck. Parents send their children to Ivy League schools because they want to brag to their friends.
What you have to do is figure out what emotions will resonate with your customers when it comes to your product.
And don't let people who say they don't make emotional decisions about money fool you. Even the most analytical accountants or engineers make decisions with emotions.
Listen to Your Friends and Family
Starting a business can suck up all of your time and energy. It becomes your life and that will not end well if you don't listen to advice.
I have the best family and friends not because they are fun to be around, but because they also care about me and want to help me when I'm making a mistake.
Unfortunately because I was so busy I would ignore them, only to have my problems come back around and bite me. If I would've listened to them in the first place I would've never had that problem to begin with!
If you don't like what they have to say, that's fine. But at least give them the benefit of the doubt and hear them out.
I hope that by sharing these experiences with you that you'll be able to avoid some of the mistakes that I made. I can't promise you that you won't make some of your own mistakes, but if you do, I encourage you to learn from them.
What lessons do you wish you would've learned before you started your first company?

cat lipstick has not received any gifts yet
I'm doing well, thanks. =) Just kicking back and relaxing and trying to enjoy life.
I see you're in Myrtle Beach? Went there a couple of times when I lived in eastern North Carolina (Rocky Mount, specifically). Enjoyed myself there, did a lot of things. First time I'd ever been to a beach too; growing up in the Midwest, we don't have too many things like that.
No worries about being coy either, I understand. This is a good community of folks, though. Look around, see where you fit in and get involved!! Hope we can chat soon!!
Well, I WAS going to combine into two comments, but I've overflowed the 2,000 character limit. I tend to be a bit ... verbose. In other words, I babble.
How many years did you say you've been a non-believer? You seemed to have blipped that out. It looks like there was supposed to be a number in there, but it was missing.
Hmm, similar route for me, with the religion. I also grew up Catholic. I never believed from the moment that I was vaguely aware that people actually believed the stories we were being told ... something like 5 or 6 years old. I don't know if it was the Grimm's Fairytales, the early exposure to science through the kids books purchased for my older brother, the early exposure to Greek and Norse mythology, the early exposure to and love of stage magic and illusions ...
It all sort of came together to make me into someone who wouldn't take mystical stories seriously. I was stuck going to church weekly, until the age of 18 or so, but I never believed a bit of it. I even became an altar boy, for several years, as something to break up the monotony of mass.
My own coming out of the closet happened when I was 14, I think. I asked my mother how much longer I had to go to CCD. She told me that I had to keep going until I made my Confirmation. I informed her that I had no intention of making my Confirmation, since I didn't believe any of the nonsense the Catholic church was pushing. That kind of ended that. I still had to go to church until I became an adult and could legally refuse, but at least I was done with CCD.
I can understand what you mean about being a little lost. I never really believed in a god of any sort, but ... well, humans like to have something positive to attach themselves to. Atheism might not be a positive statement, in itself, but there are many positive statements that can be extrapolated from it, even if it mostly ends up expressing itself as opposition to the fundies.
I ended up over here when I was 11. My father got a promotion within the management structure of his company which required a move to their Raleigh branch. I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago.
I really can't stand the humidity around here, myself. I've contemplated moving further west, myself ... maybe the Pacific northwest or something. I dunno. I haven't completely thought things through fully, yet.
I can't wait until October. We should be done with the humidity by then, at least until next year.
Hmm, so what's the 'lipstick' part in reference to? You had something else in there to begin with. Definitely a good move to remove your last name, though, if you're worried about potential employers Googling you or something.
Welcome, cat! Glad you could join us. :D I hope you've escaped harm from Irene.
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends.

Over the weekend, Zoo York and Stoker Mentoring gathered 30 Brooklyn teenagers to help clean up Fort Greene Park, and the star of the event was probably supposed to be 18-year old skateboarding phenom Chaz Ortiz, but then super model and 2011 With Leather Celebrity Sports Fan of the Year Kate Upton showed up, and approximately all of the teenage boys suddenly had to stop picking up trash and sit down for 5-10 minutes.
A multiple Dew Tour event winner, Ortiz even showed Upton a few tricks with his skateboard, and then he probably asked her if she wanted to go see a movie or something, and she replied, "Aw, that's sweet, but my boyfriend won 24 games last season and you've only finished 4th at the X Games, so I'm good." But Kate was more than happy to give back to her community, even if she wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion.
She was aware that her sandals were perhaps not the most suitable footwear.
She joked: 'Hey, at least I'm not wearing heels!'
Speaking to ESPN, Kate revealed why taking part in the park clean up was important to her.
She said: 'I love being able to work with kids who have disadvantages and work together and make this a better community.' (Via the Daily Mail, images as well.)
Upton, whom the Daily Mail wrote is "usually seen walking the Victoria's Secret catwalk in ethereal lingerie", despite never having been employed by Victoria's Secret, was a good sport as Ortiz offered to show her some skateboard tricks, as she admitted that she's horrible at riding a skateboard. I assume it's because she's so obese and the board just bends in the middle when she steps on. Gross.
Kate gives a little back to the kids after the jump, and I also include a new Upton GIF that is finally relevant.
Her skin tone matches her pants, but sadly her shirt does not match Wonder Woman's jet.
All four of those guys are making the correct facial expressions.
Moments later, 40 men stopped raking their own lawns and sprinted over to help Kate finish hers.

Then, when you sign up with an online law school and get your JD, you can take the California Bar exam. You would also register with the California Bar as a distance learning law student. If you leave the brick and mortar law school, some law schools will only let you even apply if you haven't flunked out. In Florida, at least, if your credits are too low to be transferable, you will not even be eligible to apply to the law schools here. That's what I found out.

Rahm's plahn
NPR just reported that the Democrats are changing strategy. Instead of defunding Iraq, they're going to require George Bush to jump and down on one leg for four hours each afternoon. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, that was an early draft.
They're going to require W to submit a report each time a soldier opens a door describing how the soldier is inadequately supported and doomed to failure.
Some people think this is ridiculous, cynical, stupid and unconstitutional. Maybe so. But if I were W, I'd jump on it. My first report would say Private Emmett Jones is inadequately supported because his congressman is Nancy Pelosi; my second would be Corporal Sally Green is inadequately suported because her congressmen is Rahm Emmanuel. For variation, Lt. Col. Steve Stunning would be inadequately supported because of the New York Times and 30 Rock. These reports would be a ot of work, for sure, but if the Democrat-controlled Congress wants it, who is anyone to say no?
