Ann Curry?s Emotional Today Show Exit Video

It is official Anny Curry is dunzo as co-host of the Today show. She broke her silence on the show this morning it what turned out to be quite the emotional exit. If you missed her final words never fear you can see it all in the below video. Although it was already confirmed that Curry would no longer be co-hosting the Today show with Matt Lauer, Curry herself had kept quiet about the situation until this morning. She not only addressed the issue of leaving but revealed that today would be her last show. Ann was very emotional as I am sure you can imagine but she handled herself with dignity and class even as she broke down. Al Roker and Matt Lauer each had very kind words to say about the departing Curry, which you can see in the below video. She may be leaving the Today show but Ann is not leaving the NBC network family. In fact a unit is being created for her that will allow her to focus on national and international reporting. Ann revealed that her new role will make her very happy as covering that kind of news is something she has [...]

Pokemon: A Trainer's Journey

There comes a time in nearly every young person's life that he or she decides to embark on a journey with Pok?mon. It's a life-changing experience - a brand new adventure full of joy, sorrow, struggles, and friendship. Every day children leave their homes, eyes gazing into the sky, the dream of one day reaching the stars reflecting within them.

They soon find, however, that the world they've imagined, shining and full of Pok?mon and fun, glows with a darker aura. The path they'd mapped out in their heads for years twisted with detours. The people they met were not T.V. characters, and some of them had the worst of intentions. They grow. They learn the world is a complicated place, only made all the more confusing by Pok?mon. They learn to navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the most sinister human mind and heart. They learn of hatred, of jealousy, of evil.

But don't be discouraged. For every pain and trial endured, an equally powerful experience of joy, happiness, and love is found. They learn trust, the value of teamwork, friendship, and what it means to be a good man or woman.

It is time for you to embark on that journey. It will not be an easy one by any means, but you've spent a few extra years preparing; you could consider yourself "ahead of the game". Just last week you attended your final lesson at your city's local Pok?mon Academy. It has prepared you and taught you all the technicalities of the Pok?mon: battling, training, contests, moves, typing, status, items, and the like. All students were given their own Pok?dex to use as part of the class, which was available for purchase for a discounted price at the end of the program. As a typical graduation present, your parent(s) or guardian(s) have both paid for your Pok?dex and gotten you your very first Pok?mon. But the rest? well the rest is up to you.

PFT: Chiefs' Berry says he's 100 percent healthy

Patriots owner Robert Kraft may have no interest in owning an English soccer club, but he definitely wants to see someone own an English NFL franchise.

According to Neil Reynolds of Sky Sports, Kraft has said during a speaking engagement in England he believes the NFL should have a team in London.

?I personally think we should have a franchise in London and that is something I am going to push for,? Kraft said.? ?I think I said that the last time we were over here in 2009 and before this next decade is out, I hope we have a team here.? I think that would be right for the NFL and this fan base has proven they deserve it.?

And by rewarding the fan base in England, the NFL will be rewarding itself.

?I think we?re starting to tap out in the United States,? Kraft said.? ?If you look at the last Super Bowl we were in this past season, we had over 180 million people watching ? that?s almost two thirds of America.? So for us to grow the game, we have to expand globally.? Having seen the kind of support we have received here in London, it is the intention of the NFL owners to get two games here, starting next year.?

Of course, when it comes to moving an existing team, Kraft isn?t willing to put his money machine where his mouth is.

?The only bad part of putting a franchise in London is that I can assure you it won?t be the Patriots who are moving here,? Kraft said.

So who will it be?? At a time when many believe the Rams are destined to finagle their way out of a lease in St. Louis, it?s presumed they?ll return to Los Angeles.? But with the Rams throwing their hands in the air with Horshackian zeal to play three homes games in London over the next three years, they?re at the top of the short list of potential candidates to make the move.

The possibility of sending the Rams or any other team to London comes with plenty of question marks.? But there?s an exclamation point to be realized if/when more of the people who don?t live in the United States develop a true passion for the NFL.? What is a billion-dollar business could become, sooner rather than later, a trillion-dollar endeavor.

No successful enterprise is content to tread water.? For the NFL, the possibility exists for exponential growth, once the sport officially begins crossing the various bodies of water that surround our borders via the permanent placement of teams on the other side.

Asteroid hunters want to launch private telescope

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Who will protect us from a killer asteroid? A team of ex-NASA astronauts and scientists thinks it's up to them.

In a bold plan unveiled Thursday, the group wants to launch its own space telescope to spot and track small and mid-sized space rocks capable of wiping out a city or continent. With that information, they could sound early warnings if a rogue asteroid appeared headed toward our planet.

So far, the idea from the B612 Foundation is on paper only.

Such an effort would cost upward of several hundred million dollars, and the group plans to start fundraising. Behind the nonprofit are a space shuttle astronaut, Apollo 9 astronaut, former Mars czar, deep space mission manager along with other non-NASA types.

Asteroids are leftovers from the formation of the solar system some 4.5 billion years ago. Most reside in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter but some get nudged into Earth's neighborhood.

NASA and a network of astronomers routinely scan the skies for these near-Earth objects. And they've found 90 percent of the biggest threats ? asteroids at least two-thirds of a mile across that are considered major killers. Scientists believe it was a 6-mile-wide asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

But the group thinks more attention should be paid to the estimated half a million smaller asteroids ? similar in size to the one that exploded over Siberia in 1908 and leveled more than 800 square miles of forest.

"We know these objects are out there and we can do something to prevent them" from hitting Earth, said former Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart, who helped establish the foundation a decade ago.

Asteroids are getting attention lately. NASA nixed a return to the moon in favor of a manned landing on an asteroid. Last month, Planetary Resources Inc., a company founded by space entrepreneurs, announced plans to extract precious metals from asteroids within a decade.

Since its birth, the Mountain View, Calif.-based B612 Foundation ? named after the home asteroid of the Earth-visiting prince in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince" ? has focused on finding ways to deflect an incoming asteroid. Ideas studied include sending an intercepting spacecraft to aiming a nuclear bomb, but none have been tested.

Last year, the group shifted focus to seek out asteroids with a telescope.

It is working with Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., which has drawn up a preliminary telescope design. The contractor developed NASA's Kepler telescope that hunts for exoplanets and built the instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope.

Under the proposal, the asteroid-hunting Sentinel Space Telescope will operate for at least 5 1/2 years. It will orbit around the sun, near the orbit of Venus, or between 30 million to 170 million miles away from Earth. Data will be beamed back through NASA's antenna network under a deal with the space agency.

Launch is targeted for 2017 or 2018. The group is angling to fly aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which made history last month by lifting a cargo capsule to the International Space Station.

Experts said the telescope's vantage point would allow it to spy asteroids faster than ground-based telescopes and accelerate new discoveries. NASA explored doing such a mission in the past but never moved forward because of the expense.

"It's always best to find these things quickly and track them. There might be one with our name on it," said Don Yeomans, who heads the Near-Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which monitors potentially dangerous space rocks.

Aside from the technological challenges, the big question is whether philanthropists will open up their wallets to support the project.

Nine years ago, the cost was estimated at $500 million, said Tim Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center at Harvard University who was part of the team that came up with the figure for NASA.

Spahr questions whether enough can be raised given the economy. "This is a hard time," he said.

The group has received seed money ? several hundreds of thousands of dollars ? from venture capitalists and Silicon Valley outfits to create a team of experts. Foundation chairman Ed Lu said he was confident donors will step up and noted that some of the world's most powerful telescopes including the Lick and Palomar observatories in California were built with private money.

"We're not all about doom and gloom," said the former shuttle astronaut. "We're about opening up the solar system. We're talking about preserving life on this planet."

Did I tell you we were Top Listing Agents at REMAX of Santa Clarita ...

by paris911 on June 26, 2012

The driving force behind our real estate business has to be the Sellers of the world. Buyers are wonderful, but sellers are a bit more needy and not in a bad way.

Look at it this way. ?With real estate buyers, we have no contract, at least with most. ?They are surfing the internet all day long to find properties that suit them.

It is very rare for a buyer of real estate to let their real estate agent do that they do best, find listings that fit their needs.

It is also more rare to have a buyer that will get into contract with their real estate representative by means of a Buyer Broker Agreement. ?If they did, they would now be as strong as a real estate seller in position. ?They have a signed contract between themselves and their agent.

Back to the Sellers of Santa Clarita real estate. ?There are three types of Sellers that are the most prevalent in today?s real estate market. ?The first is the Standard Seller. ?They have equity and usually want to buy something else ? most want to close at the same time. ?That type of seller is not very common in today?s real estate market of distressed homes and short sale properties.

The Foreclosure Seller. ?We get approached by Banks to sell their foreclosure assets. ?The primary thing that asset managers want is to be told the truth and not to be B.S.?d. ?They want their agents to answer the phone or to call them back post haste. ?Asset Managers and REO management companies want to have their email?s returned quickly with complete answers. ?Another thing that the Foreclosure Management companies want is agents that will not bend the rules, show extreme?diligence, and do what they are told. ?However, they do not want robots. ?They want solutions to problems as they present themselves ? they want them to be vocal and to speak out with solutions.

The Short Sale Seller/Owner. How can you find short sale sellers? ?In today?s market the BEST short sale agents in the Santa Clarita Valley are talked about. ?It is no longer the case that a person who is short selling their home look like a person with three eyes. ?The Short Sale clients that had success with Their Chosen Santa Clarita Short expert ? are telling others they know. ?They are explaining to their family how they were protected and how the 1000 pound monkey, with sharp claws, was pried off of their back by The Paris911 team.

With all of these types of sellers in the current Santa Clarita real estate market, it?s kind of nice knowing you have a one stop shop at your fingertips. ?Add The Paris911 Team at REMAX of Santa Clarita to your ToolBox, under the heading Real Estate Services.

Be Safe and thanks for reading.

The evaporative coolers deliver a natural way of cooling the room temperature by offering a constant flow of fresh and cool air to keep you comfortable during summer. When place next to an open window or door, they can draw outside air and make it pass through moisture rich pads. This system cools and filters the warm air which is then circulated in the room. The fresh cool air getting into the room flushes out the stale hot air through the open doors and windows.

Most evaporated coolers usually are fairly heavy and slightly bulky which can make them difficult to carry around from room to room. While they may do an excellent job, sometimes they are needed in different rooms as they do not always access every single room of the house. For this reason portable evaporated coolers have been created and they make things a whole lot easier.

If you live in an area where the weather is hot and dry, you can use a portable evaporative cooler rather of air-conditioners. These coolers are simple elegant devices that give your aid from rising temperature without increasing your electric bills.

If you are planning to purchase evaporative coolers or also known as swamp coolers, you can look into the various models available by online and offline vendors.

There are positive aspects that portable coolers offer which you do not have with other types of coolers. A roof mounted Cooler is more difficult to access and maintain.

Window coolers are more accessible but are too tricky to move from room to room. Portable Coolers are perfect for moving to different areas of the home when needed.

Today, there are several manufactures that make portable evaporative coolers based on the requirements of the users. The design of the machine will vary depending on the area you want to cool and the space available. For example, if you want to cool a small to medium sized room, you can get a 10-inch personal portable evaporative cooler. These units can be used in your home or office and can cool an area of up to 750 square feet. When buying these devices, make sure you take into account of prices and benefits.

Are There Business Ethics in the Financing Industry Or Not?

The financial industry is changing for the better. Slowly, but surely, it is improving. However, the same cannot be said about business ethics. The finance industry needs to follow some strict business ethics in order to flourish and keep businesses out of debt.

Business Ethics|It Affects Everyone

Don?t just go ahead and think that you are not affected by the industry just because you don?t work in it. If you are using the services of the industry, you are a consumer; making you a part of the industry. If you ask anyone, they will tell you that the financial services sector is highly unethical; more so than all the other sectors. However, that is not what Mr. James A. Mitchell seems to think.

As the Center for Ethical Business Culture?s Executive Fellow-Leadership, he states that this sector is significantly misunderstood. He states that misconceptions have risen in the sector for quite a number of reasons.

One of the primary reasons behind this misinterpretation is due to the size of the sector. Insurance companies, various banks, pension funds, money lenders, security firms all encompass this sector. Best of all, this is only a very small fraction of the sector. The size of the sector has aided the media in setting headlines. Many of these headlines are aimed at the ethical problems of the sector.

In fact, this sector alone is worth over $50 trillion and is increasing at a steady rate of 8% a year. Interestingly enough, not even the gross domestic product is that high. With literally billions of transactions taking place annually, micro and macro, there are bound to be a few ethical issues. Even more interesting is the fact that the media never covers the good, always the bad; it?s where the money is.

Business Ethics|Self-interest Consumes Us All

One of the biggest problems that any sector faces is that of self-interest. However, in the financial sector, this self-interest grows and becomes worse. Considering how so much money is involved, people become easily corrupted. Businesses forget long-term sustainability and concentrate more on maximizing their short-term profits.

Business Ethics|It?s all about the Benjamins

Another ethical issue this sector faces is that of insufficient mentoring and making money, as opposed to the consumers, the focus of everything. They both go hand in hand; the reason why many businesses make it big while others don?t. Many businesses offering financial services fail because they try to maximize their profit at the expense of their consumers. When people (and the media) find out, nobody blames the single business but rather the entire sector.

If you are in debt, most businesses will show they care about you but primarily care about their profit. Consolidated Credit provided debt settlement advice

Business Ethics|Who to Blame

Nobody is perfect. If you work very hard for a bonus and do not get it, you will be upset. Akin to a waiter who does not receive tips despite his or her excellent service. When executives do not give employees their just rewards, the employees will start to think only about themselves and not the company. This can lead to a plethora of unethical issues. If the executives had paid the employees their just dues, these unethical issues would not surface.

Business Ethics|Consumers Fault

Many unethical issues are caused by the demands of the consumers. In order to keep the customer, the businesses bend a few rules. Claim falsification is one of the biggest ethical issues that plague the sector. If businesses would simply stick to the rules, despite consumer demands, these would not arise.

The financing industry is not a machine; it is not perfect. This $50 trillion industry has its faults here and there. However, in order to promote the industry, a few ethical issues need to be resolved. Small businesses need to stop making their profits their focus. The aim may be to make profit but it?s unethical when the consumers and the laws are neglected and/or bent. The industry needs to boost its professionalism.
