PFT: Shockey sounds off on Goodell, concussions

Tahoe Celebrity GolfAP

With the Browns on the verge of being sold by Randy Lerner to Jimmy Haslam, some of you have asked which other teams could be available.

OK, one of you has asked. ??Some? sounds better.

The chatter in league circles is that the teams most likely to be on the market in the not-too-distant future are the Bills, Titans, and Broncos.

The Bills and Titans are each held by their original AFL owners. ?Ralph Wilson, who initially wanted to put an AFL team in Miami, has owned the Bills since 1960. ?Bud Adams founded the Houston Oilers that same year, moving them to Tennessee 35 years later.

It?s believed that the families of Wilson, 93, and Adams, 89, will sell the franchises once they inherit ownership of them. ?Actually, Haslam had been rumored as one of the candidates to buy the Titans, given that Haslam?s family lives and works in Tennessee.

The reasons for the potential availability of the Broncos, another original AFL franchise, aren?t known. ?Owner Pat Bowlen is only 68, which makes him a spring chicken in relation to some of his colleagues. ?Rumors and reports of memory issues swirled a couple of years ago, but that talk largely has subsided. ?Some in Denver believe that, eventually, Bowlen will find a way to sell the team to V.P. of football operations John Elway, and that Elway will find a way to buy it.

Potential buyers don?t have to cut a check for $1 billion or close to that amount. ?Instead, league rules permit one person to own as little as 30 percent. ?Technically, one family may own 30 percent, with at least one person from the family owning 10 percent.

Here?s hoping the Kardashians aren?t aware of that.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute

The use of diagnostic imaging in Medicare patients with stage IV cancer has increased faster than among those with early-stage (stages I and II) disease, according to a study published July 30 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The costs of diagnostic imaging have increased more rapidly than the overall costs of cancer care, making diagnostic imaging the fastest-growing division of Medicare-reimbursed services. The net costs of cancer care are the highest in the last year of life; yet little is known about the use of high-cost imaging in cancer patients during the last year of life.

In order to determine the usage of high-cost imaging in cancer patients at the end of life, Yue-Yung Hu, M.D., M.P.H. and colleagues in the Center for Outcomes and Policy Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Center for Surgery and Public Health at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Wisconsin Surgical Outcomes Research Program at the University of Wisconsin, looked at claims within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database between 1994 and 2009 for computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and nuclear medicine scans for patients diagnosed with stage IV breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer between 1995-2006. The rate of imaging per-patient per-month of survival was determined for each phase of care. For reference, trends in imaging use in early-stage patients with the same tumor types during the same time period were also considered.

The researchers found that most patients with stage IV breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer undergo high-cost imaging procedures throughout the course of their care and that the usage of imaging has steadily increased between 1995 and 2006. The increase may reflect a lack of guidelines in this area or the use of imaging to guide symptom management, detect disease progression and assess treatment effect. "Because scans help clinicians determine whether a change in (or cessation of) treatment is indicated, the expanding use of advanced imaging in stage IV disease is likely a manifestation of the increasing number and types of treatment options available to these patients," the authors write. "Imaging, although it often leads to (appropriate) palliative measures, may also distract patients from focusing on achievable end-of-life goals, require them to spend more of their limited time in medical care settings and/or provoke anxiety." The authors point out the importance of examining such patient-centered outcomes in future research to define the role of advance imaging in Stage IV solid tumors.

In an accompanying editorial, Drs. Robin Yabroff and Joan Warren, of the Health Services and Economics Branch at the National Cancer Institute, feel that assessing the appropriateness of care for patients with stage IV disease is complex. "Physicians tend to overestimate survival for terminally ill cancer patients, which may influence their treatment and related imaging recommendations," the editorialists write. "Development of practice guidelines for advanced imaging in patients with stage IV disease, with explicit statements about the state of evidence will be critical, particularly for care outside of the window surrounding patient diagnosis."

Lousy 401(k)? ? Maybe it's You Not Them | The Chicago Financial ...

Ever since the stock market tanked in 2008-09 there have been innumerable news stories and blog posts about how

the 401(k) has failed investors.? The term ?201(k)? was coined to describe the losses suffered by many investors.

It is true that there are a lot of sub-par 401(k) plans out there in the marketplace.

On the other hand, I have many clients who have or are the process of amassing significant retirement nest eggs via their 401(k) plans.

Maybe it?s not fair, but the responsibility for saving for our retirement has been placed upon us by a system that has made offering a traditional defined benefit pension plan prohibitively expensive for many employers.? For better or worse the 401(k) is the main retirement savings vehicle for many of us.? Unfortunately, in many cases 401(k) participants are their own worst enemy.? Here are some common 401(k) mistakes to avoid on the path to saving for your retirement:

Ignoring it.? How many stories have we seen over the past few years about plan participants who were afraid to open their statements?? The better solution is to be proactive: ?figure out an investment strategy for your retirement savings, implement that strategy, monitor your allocation, and adjust when appropriate.

Assuming that the auto enrollment percentage contribution is sufficient to meet your retirement goals.? ??Trust me, it isn?t.? Many plans auto enroll all new employees unless they opt out.? Generally the deferral percentage is low, 1% or 2% of compensation is common.? This might be a good start, but if you don?t increase your contributions you can likely count on a pretty dismal retirement lifestyle.

Not taking advantage of professional help.? Many people are uncomfortable making investment decisions for any number of reasons.? If you work with a financial advisor already make sure that they are providing advice on this account as well.? Many plans offer advice services that range from online to one-on-one consultations.? Some of this help is free, some carries a cost, if you are uncomfortable managing your 401(k) yourself go get the help you need.? It?s never too early to get serious about your retirement and make sure that you are on the right path.

Assuming that that a Target Date Fund is the right solution.? On the surface the Target Date Funds offered by your plan looks like the ideal solution, especially if you are uncomfortable allocating your account from among the other investment choices offered by the plan.? This has been reinforced by the use of Target Date Funds as the default option by many plans under the safe harbor provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. ?What could be easier?? You pick the target date closest to when you are likely to retire, you make your contributions, and you basically set it and forget it.

Unfortunately it?s not that easy.? Target Date Funds with identical target dates can often look quite different.? Different Target Date Fund providers may offer funds that are geared ?to? retirement while others are geared to go ?through? retirement.? I strongly suggest that no 401(k) participant take anything on faith here.? All one needs to do is to look back on the recent performance of shorter dated funds during severe drops in the markets.? Witness the losses suffered by many Target 2010 funds during 2008.? Look closely at the Target Date Funds offered to you.? Understand how they will invest your money and what retirement Glide Path they take. ?Decide if this is the right approach for your situation. ?Remember, you don?t have to investment in the fund with the target date closest to your expected retirement date, go can go with any of the funds that best fits your needs.

Investing your 401(k) account in a vacuum.? I see far too many plan participants who fail to take a total portfolio view of their 401(k) account.? By this I mean including the 401(k) along with their spouse?s retirement account, IRAs, old retirement accounts still at former employers, brokerage and mutual fund accounts, individual stocks, and other holdings as a total investment portfolio.? Not doing this can cause you to take too much or too little investment risk in your 401(k).? Beyond the 401(k) having all of these accounts not being managed in harmony is just a waste of these investment dollars.? You worked hard to accumulate these assets, make them work just as hard for you. ?In short develop an investment strategy that takes all of your investment assets into account, ideally one that is based on a financial plan.

It?s easy to blame the system or other factors if you are unhappy with the performance of your 401(k).? Rather than blame anyone, there is no better time to take charge of your retirement than today.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about your 401(k) or about planning for retirement.

(AP) ? Hardly dreamy, still dominant.

Kevin Durant scored 22 points, LeBron James added eight assists and the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team opened tournament play with a rough-and-ragged 98-71 win over France on Sunday.

Seeking a second straight gold medal to match the one they won in Beijing four years ago, the Americans expected a tough test from a French team featuring San Antonio guard Tony Parker and five other NBA players.

The U.S. was never in real trouble, and after overcoming some major foul issues and sloppy play, the superstar-laden squad finally put France away in the second half.

Kobe Bryant had said this team could beat the 1992 Dream Team that changed international hoops forever at the Barcelona Games. That matchup is mythical, but the London Games aren't and this U.S. team will have to play much better in upcoming games if it plans to maintain American dominance.

Parker didn't want to concede anything, but when asked if the Americans can be beat, he took a contemplative pause before responding.

"They're going to be very, very tough to beat," Parker said.

With first lady Michelle Obama on hand to cheer on the U.S., Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler added nine rebounds apiece Kevin Love finished with 14 points for the Americans. The U.S. will next play Tuesday against Tunisia, beaten 60-56 by Nigeria in the tournament opener.

As they left the floor, the U.S. players stopped to hug the first lady.

Parker, playing with goggles to protect a surgically repaired left eye, scored 10 points but France, which trailed by just one point after the first quarter, fell to 0-5 in Olympic competition against the USA. Ali Traore led the French with 12 points.

With the U.S. leading 52-36 at halftime, Durant opened the second half with a 3-pointer, Bryant dropped one from long range and after James dunked an alley-oop pass from Deron Williams, the Americans led 64-43.

Au revoir, France.

The U.S. team's lead ballooned to 78-51 after three quarters, allowing coach Mike Krzyzewski to rest Bryant, James and Durant for most of the fourth quarter. With the game well in hand, Krzyzewski even gave 19-year-old Anthony Davis, the top pick in June's NBA draft, his first taste of Olympic play.

Unlike his peers, Krzyzewski has the luxury of a deep bench and he was forced to go it early and often in the first half, when the Americans racked up fouls.

After the U.S. started the game by missing its first six three-point attempts, Bryant, James and Durant started finding the range from beyond the arc. The trio finished the game a combined 6 for 12 from three-point range while the rest of the U.S. went 2 for 13.

Parker nearly missed these Olympics. The 30-year-old recently underwent surgery after he was hit with broken glass during a nightclub fight in New York. Parker was not involved in the bottle-throwing melee between R&B singer Chris Brown and members of rapper Drake's entourage.

He was able to break down the U.S. defense early on, but once the Americans forced the ball from his hands, the French had no one else to turn to.

American's multimillion dollar conglomerate of hoop talent came out of the locker room singing on the way to the floor for pregame warmups. Their chants caught the attention of several Brazilian players still doing interviews following a tight opening win over Australia.

As Bryant, James and Durant filed onto the hardwood, some of France's players turned to take a look.

The U.S. players weren't nearly so jovial at halftime following a sloppy, foul-filled first half in which the Americans were whistled for 18 personals and complained about some calls. Anthony and Russell Westbrook spent the final six minutes of the second quarter on the bench after picking up their third fouls.

A few days ago, France's Ronny Turiaf likened the U.S. team's ability to play big or small to a two-faced beast.

"That team is like a Gemini," said Turiaf, who will play with Paul and the Clippers next season. "They have two faces, a nightmare-nightmare."

But the U.S. team was its own worst enemy in the first quarter. Too often, the American settled for jump shots rather than driving to the basket. The Americans missed all six 3-pointers in the opening period, and when France's Yannick Bokolo drained a 3 in the final second, France was within 22-21.

France's Nicolas Batum, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, said he thought after being up by only one point after the first quarter that the U.S. would "panic."

The "second quarter, it was 0-0 new game for them," Batum said. "They started to defend us, make some big shots."

James opened the second quarter with a 3 and the U.S. quickly went on an 11-0 run before it was slowed down by a rash of fouls ? several of them needless.

Fortunately for the Americans, the French made only 1 of 11 3-pointers and missed seven free throws, allowing the U.S. to take a 52-36 halftime lead.

Choosing Juicer Made Easy











It is always better to do some research before making a buying decision. There are so many brands each having many models with different features. You should choose a juicer that meet all your needs.

In this article I will tell you things or factors you need to consider before making a purchasing decision. So lets get started....

Ease Of Use & Cleaning: This may not seem like a big one, but trust me, it is! If your juicer is not easy to use and clean-up after use, over time, you will find yourself using it less and less. It is always better to choose a easy to clean juicer,Its better if all the parts are dishwasher safe. So make sure that juicer is to clean,assemble and disassemble.

Nutrients rich juice: Fast juice aka centrifugal juicers causes oxidation. This is bad. It is ok If you drink juice right after making it. There is only a problem if you let the juice sit for a few hours before consuming it. Hence it is better if you opt for a slow juicer aka masticating juicer. No heat build up occurs in masticating type of juicers. Fast juicers produce heat and burn the essential nutrients and enzymes.

Yield: Make sure that your juicer has a yield of at least 40 percent. This is big factor. If you don't check up on this, you will end up wasting a lot of glasses of juice. The juice will remain in the pulp that is produced and it will be a waste.

Warranty: Juicers> warranty varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Also type of warranty fromm manufacturer to manufacturer. Some gives limited hardware warranty, some gives complete cover.

Spare Parts: Make sure that the company from which you are buying the juicer has a clear policy on replacing parts that may ware out. Juicers have many parts such as gears etc. that move at a very high speed. There is a huge possibility of wear and damage of the parts. You should clearly read company replacement policies in manual.

Build NYC Approves Tax-Exempt Financing For Four New York City ...

New York, NY ? July 25, 2012 ? (RealEstateRama) ? Build NYC Resource Corporation (Build NYC) today approved approximately $75.6 million in tax-exempt financing to assist four New York City non-profits. Seaview Senior Living Housing Development Fund Corporation, a not-for-profit organization formed by The Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty and Leewood-Seaview, was approved for approximately $33.6 million in tax-exempt bonds. The proceeds from the bonds will be used by Seaview to construct a 103,000 square foot 188-bed assisted living and memory care facility and an 11,500 square foot building for social and recreational use by residents, as well as to renovate a historical landmark building for visitors . The Seaview development, to be located on a 15-acre site on Brielle Avenue between Walcott Avenue and Rockland Avenue in the Willowbrook neighborhood, is expected to break ground in fall 2012, and will create 84 new jobs once open. The three additional projects approved for tax-exempt financing were All Stars Project, Inc., The Browning School, and HealthCare Chaplaincy, Inc.

Build NYC also approved the transaction proposed by Hutch Tower Two LLC which will construct the core and shell, as well as a portion of the tenant improvements, of a 280,000 square foot office building to be located within the Hutchinson Metro Center in the Bronx. This transaction will allow Build NYC to confer a mortgage recording tax exemption of approximately $1.4 million to be passed through to Montefiore Medical Center, which will be leasing the entire building.

?With five more projects assisted this month, Build NYC continues to distinguish itself as a critical resource for City non-profits looking to reduce costs and finance new expansion projects,? said Build NYC Chairman Seth W. Pinsky. ?In particular, the financing approved for the Seaview Senior Living Housing Development marks an extraordinarily important milestone for this project, which will soon greatly benefit Staten Island?s growing senior community.?

?Met Council and Seaview Senior Living Corp are very pleased and fortunate to be working with the NYC Economic Development Corp (EDC) on the issuance of over $30 million in Build NYC Bonds for the construction of 188 affordable, assisted living beds on Staten Island,? said Met Council CEO William E. Rapfogel. ?The Seaview project is the first of its kind and the product of many years of work in partnership with EDC, the NY City Council, and our team of developers, architects, financial consultants and other professionals. We look forward to beginning construction this fall and, most importantly, to providing truly affordable safe housing for a vulnerable under-served population.?

?Staten Island is in much need of senior housing for our growing senior population. The vote today by Build NYC will help the Seaview Senior Housing project become a reality. After many delays it is heartwarming to me that this project is moving forward,? said Borough President James P. Molinaro.

All Stars Project, Inc., located at 543 West 42nd Street, is a not-for-profit organization that provides arts and cultural education activities to underserved youth. All Stars was approved for approximately $11 million in tax-exempt financing to refinance existing debt.

The Browning School, a not-for-profit private preparatory school for boys, was approved for up to approximately $11 million in tax-exempt financing to finance the renovation and expansion of the School?s main facilities at 52 East 62nd Street. The renovation and expansion of the school will include a lower level expansion to accommodate a new cafeteria, an upgraded lobby, library, technology center, science lab and art studio. The renovation and expansion project is anticipated to commence in June 2012 and is scheduled to be completed by August 2014.

HealthCare Chaplaincy, Inc., a not -for-profit organization providing services and programs relating to the research, education and practice of innovative palliative care, was approved for up to approximately $20 million in tax-exempt financing which will be used to finance the construction, renovation, furnishing and equipping of condominium units comprising approximately 51,400 square feet of office space and parking facilities located within an approximately 195,000 square foot building to be constructed at 261 South Street in Lower East Side. The facilities will include the organizations? educational, research, clinical practice and administrative facilities, and a geriatric focused outpatient health care facility to be leased to Beth Israel Medical Center. In addition to the facilities, the building will house a 120-unlt assisted living residence for palliative care patients, providing comprehensive palliative care services and programs. The Building will be known as the National Center for Palliative Care Innovation and seek a LEED certification.

NYCIDA also today approved assistance for two projects. ERY Tenant, LLC, a joint venture between The Related Companies, L.P. and Oxford Properties Group Inc., was approved for approximately $106 million, over the next 19 years, in property tax reductions as part of a planned investment of $1.268 billion to build a new 1.84 million square foot, LEED certified, class-A office tower in Hudson Yards. The development will support approximately 5,000 jobs, and create approximately 3,750 construction jobs. Overall, the project will provide an economic benefit to the City worth over $500 million. In 2006, NYCIDA?s board unanimously approved an amendment to its Uniform Tax Exemption Policy (UTEP) to help spur future development at Hudson Yards by allowing for some property tax exemptions for all eligible projects in the area. The UTEP for Hudson Yards provided that the first 5 million square feet of development (west of 10th Avenue) could receive a 40% reduction in property tax payments phasing out over 19 years.

M.Fried Store Fixtures Inc., a display and fixture importer, distributor and installer; and Sturdy Store Displays Inc., a display manufacturer, plan to invest approximately $11 million? with the assistance of approximately $4.1 million in real-estate and sales-tax exemptions?to renovate and acquire an approximately 150,000 square foot facility at 101 Varick Avenue Bryant Avenue in Brooklyn. The project will result in the creation of two new jobs, and the retention of 110 existing jobs.

Four arrested over Ivory Coast U.N. peacekeeper killings

LONDON (Reuters) - Four men have been arrested in connection with the ambush killings in Ivory Coast of seven U.N. peacekeepers on its border with Liberia, Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara said on Friday.

An adviser to Ouattara said the four had been arrested in Liberia and would be extradited to Ivory Coast to stand trial.

The seven United Nations peacekeepers, all from Niger, were killed on June 8 when their patrol came under fire near the town of Tai, close to the porous border, in what Ivorian authorities said was a cross-border raid.

"We have just arrested four people who perpetrated that attack and killed the seven peacekeepers," President Alassane Ouattara said during a visit to London, where he was planning to watch the Olympics opening ceremony.

He said those arrested included "the head of the operation", but gave no further information as to the identities or nationalities of the four men.

Liberian government officials said they were not immediately able to comment on Ouattara's remarks while Ivory Coast's U.N. mission, UNOCI, said it was not aware of any arrests.

A decade of north-south partition and simmering political crisis in the world's top cocoa grower ended last year with a brief but brutal civil war that erupted after former President Laurent Gbagbo refused to acknowledge defeat in 2010 polls.

Around 3,000 died before Gbagbo was captured by troops loyal to Ouattara, who were backed by French and U.N. forces. Gbagbo is in The Hague awaiting trial before the International Criminal Court accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

RIVAL SUPPORTERS

Chanting supporters and opponents of Ouattara gathered outside the venue where he spoke but were kept apart by police barriers.

Ouattara said a national commission of enquiry had completed an investigation on July 18 into crimes committed by the two warring factions during the conflict, but said he had not yet seen its findings.

"When the battle started you had atrocities committed, probably by both sides," he said. "But this needs an enquiry, that's why we set up the National Enquiry Commission...when I go back I will have the report."

The U.N. Security Council renewed UNOCI's mandate on Thursday, reducing its military force by one battalion, or around 700 to 1,000 soldiers, to just under 9,000 troops.

Empower and encourage, not one or the other. ? writemegirl online

Their noses wrinkled, eyes squinted, mouths puckered as if they?d just licked the salt, drank the shot of tequila, and sucked a sour lemon. They despised the word empower because they?d heard it for years in the workforce. ?

?We should encourage,? they said. ?We?should encourage others to succeed, never quit, to go for what they want.??

?Okay,? I replied, ?consider the proverb ?Give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.? I can encourage anyone to fish, but if they don?t have the resources to learn how, they can?t feed themselves. I empower them by teaching them how to fish and obtain the resources they need; thereby, enabling them to feed themselves. During the learning process, I?m encouraging each step of the way. We should do both.?

*crickets chirping*

When we speak of empowering people, we give them authority or power to do something, or enable them to do something. By giving someone a rod and reel, a little bait, and instructions on how to fish, we?re enabling them to feed themselves . . . they have authority and power to do something about their circumstances.

Encouragement, on the other hand, provides hope or confidence, or support and advice to someone. In essence, we?re ?encouraging results.? ?While they?re learning to fish, we encourage them to continue on, imparting confidence that they can do it.

Throughout my career, I?ve considered my role as a technical trainer and professional educator to be that of a conduit who provides the tools and information learners need, whether I?m teaching adults or teenagers. I help to empower people with knowledge and the necessary skills, and encourage them to apply what they?ve learned to the job or their studies.

I see encouragement as a complement to empowerment, knowing that the two go hand-in-hand.

Empower or encourage? I say we do both.

China's Mission Hills Group partners with The Leading Hotels of the ...

HAIKOU, China -- China's Mission Hills Group, owner and operator of the 'World's No. 1 Golf Club,' formally partnered with the world's largest luxury hospitality organization, The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) in a ceremony at the Group's Hainan Island resort.

The partnership was signed at the new Mission Hills Resort on China's southern Hainan Island - and extends to the Group's two other five-star golf resorts in Shenzhen and Dongguan. Established in 1992 and celebrated as the cradle of golf development in China, Mission Hills has three independent hotels, each of which offers a fully-integrated resort destination.

"We're delighted to welcome Mission Hills into The Leading Hotels of the World family and look forward to a long-standing and successful partnership," said The Leading Hotels of the World's President and CEO Ted Teng at the press event. "What unites our members are their unvarying quality and attention to detail and it's clear that this is present with Mission Hills Resorts."

Mission Hills Group's Chairman and CEO Dr. Ken Chu said: "This partnership with The Leading Hotels of the World represents a formidable association of two of the world's leading luxury lifestyle brands."

"Mission Hills adds three very unique resort destinations to The Leading Hotels of the World's collection - including a total of 22 championship courses designed by renowned players and architects, five-star hotels, award-winning spas and volcanic mineral springs, international convention centers, golf academies and a tennis complex with 51 outdoor courts."

Mission Hills was voted 'Golf Resort of the Year' in the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) Awards and a National 5A Level Tourist Attraction, China's highest recognition for scenic attractions, by the country's National Tourism Administration.

Affiliation with The Leading Hotels of the World reflects each Mission Hills Resort's independent character and style, as well as the Group's commitment to exacting standards of excellence including guest comfort, convenience, well-being and sustainable tourism.

Mission Hills has also invested more than US$48 million implementing a sustainable environmental management system across all three of its resorts. It is the first golf operator in China to receive the ISO 14001 certificate recognizing its commitment to building a sustainable and environmentally responsible tourism business.

The Leading Hotels of the World is the largest luxury hospitality organization in the globe with more than 430 of the most iconic independent properties in over 80 countries - from grand palaces and intimate city hideaways, to luxury tent enclaves and expansive self-contained resorts.

"At The Leading Hotels of the World, we know luxury travelers want to be more than pampered -- when they travel, they want to be immersed in the local culture and to return home enriched from their experiences. Each of The Leading Hotels of the World celebrates the authenticity of its destination, rather than trying to mask it with corporate-mandated sameness," added Mr. Teng.

The Group's "golf and more" leisure philosophy has catalyzed its tourism-related business expansion. Mission Hills Centreville and Mission Hills ? Lan Kwai Fong ? Haikou are family-friendly metropolitan leisure complexes and low-carbon town centers. Hubs for business, leisure, wellness and entertainment, their highlights include 1,000-plus international anchor brands featuring the latest fashion labels, finest jewelry and watches; trendiest restaurants, cafes and bars; state-of-the-art multiplex cinemas; ice skating rinks; bowling alleys; world-renowned auto showrooms; and many other exciting offerings. A total of six hotels are showcased in these developments, among them Marriott International's Ritz-Carlton and Renaissance hotel brands.

Today, Mission Hills Group has achieved many milestones and become the preeminent conglomerate in the sports, tourism, leisure and entertainment industry. The next breakthrough in the Group's evolution will occur as it brings its tried and true branding and golf management services to Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Yunnan, Chongqing and other destinations.

How to Prepare for financial emergencies

Tip #48: Prepare for financial emergencies

?

Few of us think about what would happen if we lost our jobs or suddenly became too ill to work.? The thought is simply too terrible to contemplate in many cases, especially if we are living paycheck to paycheck with a job as it is.

?

The fact is, though, that financial emergencies happen to almost everyone at some point and they can have devastating impact in your credit. In fact, most people who declare bankruptcy do so because of a huge financial disaster such as sudden unemployment, huge medical bills, a lawsuit, or divorce. Despite this, few people plan for these problems, even though they can happen to anyone.

?

If you want to keep your credit score in good trim, you should know exactly what you would do in case of an emergency.? Developing an actual written plan can help you by letting you take action to save your credit as soon as an emergency occurs.? Some items that could be on your financial emergency plan could include:

?

1) A list of all assets you could liquidate if you had to.

?

2) A list of all extras or luxuries you could cut out of your life right away if there was a problem (i.e. newspaper subscriptions, cable television, water delivery service, Friday nights at the movies).

?

3) A list of any resources you have that could help you in case of an emergency.? Maybe you know a lawyer who deals in financial facets of the law.? Maybe you have insurance that could help you.? Maybe your employer offers a severance package.? Whatever it is, write it down. Keeping a list of these resources will make them easier to access in case of an emergency.

?

4) Other ways you could get money if you had to ? jobs you could take, things you could rent out to others.

Kira's Actual story or The key reason why We Like Our Pet dogs

By advantage of their genetic origins, domesticated pet dogs nonetheless possess predatory instincts, while some exhibit them evidently while others look to lack them wholly. Then you can find people dogs that are anywhere in the middle. What is tricky inside of a friends and family environment, having said that, is every time a puppy having a high predatory drive is presented to some new relative: possibly a cat, yet another more compact doggy, or even a newborn. Here?s what can occur? The incredibly first make a difference Kira completed, when she acquainted to a residence, has long been receive the exceptional zone of the couch for napping and viewing Television set. She also accomplished a ?friendship? aided by the cats, just after close to a week they finished battling and scaring each individual other properly. This is a seriously sharp animal. I don?t really should instruct it, she appears to perceive the ?usual conversation? of folks terminology. For instance that a youthful girl adopts a rescue pet. The rescue puppy is superb,dog shoes, intelligent, desirous to make sure you, and although the doggy is just not welcoming to cats and, essentially killed the loved ones cat when in her foster household prior to being adopted (warning indicator!), the woman isn?t really involved about adopting the pet dog for the reason that she isn?t going to foresee ever owning a cat. So far as the youthful lady appreciates, it?s going to just be the 2 of these. All goes effectively for rather some time, as well as the pet reveals no indications of aggressive puppy habits. Later on, this youthful female marries. For instance her new spouse features a doggy, too, and everyone receives alongside wonderful not one sign of aggressive pet dog behavior. A handful of years later,dog apparel, the pair delivers home their newborn from your clinic, and one day when the baby is inside the toddler swing, Mom ways away from the room for merely a brief second, and tragedy happens. While it could look far-fetched and fully unrelated,dog clothes, this assault might have been prevented if awareness had been paid out to your dog?s curiosity in chasing cats.

8 million passwords dumped from gaming website Gamigo

Posted On 7/24/2012 09:10:00 AM By THN Security Analyst

'; div.innerHTML = summary; } //]]> Four months after the gaming site Gamigo warned users about a hacker intrusion that accessed some portions of its users? credentials, more than 8 million usernames, emails and and encrypted passwords from the site have been published on the Web, according to the data breach alert service PwnedList.The list of passwords, which were scrambled using a one-way cryptographic hash algorithm, were published earlier this month to a forum on the password-cracking website Inside Pro. According to forbe,"The list also contained 8.2 million unique e-mail addresses, including 3 million American accounts from the US, 2.4 million accounts from Germany, and 1.3 million accounts from France."

Gamigo warned users in early March that an attack on the Gamigo database had exposed hashed passwords and usernames and possibly other, unspecified additional personal data. The site required users to change their account passwords.

PwnedList founder Steve Thomas said,??It?s the largest leak I?ve ever actually seen. When this breach originally happened, the data wasn?t released, so it wasn?t a big concern. Now eight million email addresses and passwords have been online, live data for any hacker to see.

This breach is bigger than anything we've seen so far this year. In the last few months, there have been a slew of attacks against the following sites: LinkedIn, eHarmony, Last.fm, Yahoo, Android Forums, Formspring, and Nvidia, among others.

Gamigo users can check on PwnedList?s site whether their email address is included in the leak.

On March 1, Gamigo sent out the following e-mail to its users:

Dear Community,

As you have all already noticed, our game servers, websites and forums are partially unreachable at the moment. We would like to explain to you what happened and what has been done on our side.

There was an attack on the gamigo database in which user information, such as alias usernames and encrypted passwords were stolen. An excerpt from these was published in the gamigo forums. We detected the attack and are working to the utmost of our resources to repair the damage and determine how it happened.

Your character data, including items, is safely stored on the backup! We cannot rule out that the intruder(s) is/are still in possession of additional personal data, although to date we have received no report of any fraudulent use.

To prevent any unauthorized access to your account, we have reset all passwords for the gamigo account system and for all gamigo games!

10 Brilliant Baby Shower Ideas! | Family Style

baby shower ideas1 10 Brilliant Baby Shower Ideas!

I recently threw a baby shower for a friend and it was super fun to pull together all of the details. I really don?t like parties that are overdone or have too many details that overshadow the purpose of the event. Sweet, thoughtful touches that display your friendship can be lovely, though. Here are a few simple and inexpensive ideas you can do yourself or use as inspiration for pulling your party together. Have fun!

    Greenery Sign

    There's no need to go overboard on decorations, after all, the shower is about mom, baby and family, not your decorating or party throwing skills! However, a few thoughtful touches can really be a special gesture to show your friendship. This greenery sign is simple and gorgeous. It could say "baby" or "baby" in another language that has meaning for the family (pictured: French), or you could use the baby's name if it is already public knowledge.
