Gone with the Wind ~ and other Tales for Structured Settlements ...

In the world of Structured Settlements, holding on to the benefits as Structured is the original plan for most Annuitants, and the legal counsel who helps to obtain their client?s settlement. But, for most people, life has times when one needs more money to accomplish their goals. The Settlement can be a source of funds for many of these times. Just don?t let the Settlement be Gone with the Wind! (There one day and gone the next.)

When a financial emergency arises, and there is no other source of money, then a Structured Settlement can be a smart source to help you through. Typically a Structured Settlement can be sold to obtain the money one needs. These future payments are sold to a buying company and they will provide you with a sum of money for a portion of the total annuity. Keep in mind, that you are able to sell ?portions? of your annuity payments, so that you will be able to keep the other portion coming to you as scheduled. Much of what is best to sell will be determined by how much money one needs to cover the emergency. Hopefully only a portion of your annuity will have to be sold to obtain enough funds.
When you hear a quote for a very large amount of money, for selling all of your Structured Settlement ? it can be tempting to sell, imagining all of that money! But in most cases, it will be best to only sell a portion of your payments or lump sum benefits to obtain your financial goals. Keep in mind that there might be future times when your annuity will be needed. Don?t sell everything in one fell swoop ~ or it will be Gone with the Wind!

Features of fibre optic broadband for business

If you make a point of keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in business technologies, you've probably heard much discussion about FFTP (Fibre to the Premises) broadband, which is widely being hailed as the future of the internet. If you're considering whether to make the upgrade to fibre optic broadband, it can be useful to learn more about the technology and why it can be such an asset for companies of all sizes.

The online world is continuing to grow at a staggering rate, with many people now being signed up to social networks and an online presence being all but essential for businesses hoping to stay ahead. The evolution of the internet will only go from strength to strength in the next few years, with industry experts predicting a number of advancements including 3D websites and holographic video streaming becoming the norm, and this can be expected to place a huge demand on a company's bandwidth.

Fibre broadband could be the most effective solution, due to its scalability and potential to deliver a substantial amount of data compared to standard copper cables currently found in most premises.

This optic-based system can send and receive many types of data, including telephone calls, video and text, at much faster speeds than are available with other types of cables. These connections are also more reliable than standard connections over copper coaxial lines, meaning businesses will experience fewer technical issues when making the switch to FTTP.

Fibre optic broadband is becoming an increasingly popular option for homes too, especially among users of online games and people who download or upload large files on a regular basis, but the benefits of this emerging technology for businesses far exceed those of home users, not least in the ability for multiple employees to access sophisticated online content simultaneously without this causing a noticeable dip in the speed or strength of connections.

This makes FTTP broadband particularly appealing for companies that may be currently experiencing such issues, and when you sign up for a business broadband service you will also benefit from 24 hour customer support to help you with any problems that do occur. Other features of business broadband packages that can add value to organisations of various sizes include tools such as static IP addresses and web hosting systems, which can be crucial for businesses that host their own websites, as well as free domain names and branded email addresses for your employees.

Xperia arc and neo get the Android 4.0 treatment, Sony makes good on its upgrade plans

Image

Sony's been pretty forthcoming about its Ice Cream Sandwich rollout, informing users of certain instabilities (see: Xperia Play) and mostly abiding by its planned upgrade schedule. In line with its announcement from last week regarding second round refreshes, Xperia arc and neo handsets have now begun to receive that Android 4.0.4 update, no doubt delighting owners and invoking the ire of their Gingerbread-toting friends. It's a rare moment of reversal that should see owners of those two elder devices from a bygone SE-era enjoying a temporary leg up on their faster, better, flashier brethren. Hit up the source below to see if your phone made the cut.

Dolphins to appear on 'Hard Knocks' this summer

(AP) ? The Miami Dolphins will appear on "Hard Knocks" this summer.

HBO announced Tuesday that the Dolphins would be the newest subject of its popular reality series documenting NFL training camps. The seventh season premieres Aug. 7, with four more one-hour episodes airing on subsequent Tuesdays.

Coming off a 6-10 season, Miami has a new coach in Joe Philbin. He said the Dolphins' involvement in the show was a football decision made with the blessing of owner Stephen Ross.

"Our owner supported this decision but in no way, shape or form forced us to make the decision," Philbin said in South Florida following an offseason practice Tuesday. "It's a chance to show the new direction and identity of this football team, where we're headed, and at the same time connect with our past, the great tradition and heritage we have here in Miami."

This season marks the 40th anniversary of the Dolphins' undefeated championship squad ? the last NFL club to win the Super Bowl with a perfect record. Miami's most recent title came a year later, in 1974.

"Hard Knocks" was not produced last year because of the NFL lockout. In 2010, the Dolphins' AFC East rivals, the New York Jets, were the subject of the show, making coach Rex Ryan a reality star.

"It's a great opportunity to connect with our fans, for the people who aren't going to be able to come out here daily in 110-degree heat index weather and watch our guys participate in training camp," Philbin said.

This is the first time "Hard Knocks" will feature a rookie head coach. Philbin was the Green Bay Packers' offensive coordinator the past five years, tutoring Aaron Rodgers and winning a Super Bowl. Philbin has a heart-wrenching back story ? his 21-year-old son drowned just before the longtime NFL assistant took the Dolphins job.

Miami will likely have a highly drafted rookie quarterback competing for playing time. Ryan Tannehill was the eighth pick overall, joining a franchise desperate for QB stability since Dan Marino retired.

Reasons behind the small businesses switch to VoIP Phone service ...

VoIP or with full name its Voice over Internet Protocol is the advanced technology over traditional communication methods. In businesses, everyone has some communication medium with their clients. Before few years, it was totally dependent on traditional phones lines and data chatting through computer systems. But now the communication methods have become easier with the help of VoIP service. VoIP is basically an internet based telephone system which costs very less comparing to traditional telephone bills. In VoIP business form it is known as ?Hosted VoIP?.

Basically there are main three types of VoIP present ? VoIP Phones (or you can say IP Phones which are very similar to traditional phone sets), Mobile VoIP (used in mobile phones) and software VoIP (that works from computers). The most common example of software VoIP is ?Skype?. One can take these three types of VoIP within a single package.

Now let us find out the reasons that why the small scale businesses switch to VoIP phone service or hosted VoIP service:? ?

Cost Saving
One of the major reasons of switching to VoIP is the cost. The telephone bills are the starting point of cost saving. In a survey, it has been concluded that by using VoIP phone service, one can save 80% - 85% on the monthly regular telephone bills. The call rates are very less than traditional phone call rates. Even the overseas calls are very cheap. Moreover, it has not any initial call cost.

Easy Call Handling ?
Another great reason of switching to VoIP phone is its easy call handling service. Because of the huge advanced features in VoIP phones, the call handling service become very easy. This service includes automated call distribution, call forwarding, auto attendant, call waiting, call diverting, conferencing and many more.

Portability
The most icing benefit of using VoIP is the portable nature. You can shift your VoIP telephone system to any place or any location. It is wireless. You don?t need to make huge changes in the wiring system like the traditional phones does, so VoIP is easy to use any where any time but the only requirement is the internet connection.

Better Functionality
VoIP works in advanced way. It is not like traditional phone that one can only able to do verbal conversation, instead one can see the other person also. And the whole call details are automatically recorded in the computer, you do not need to keep the records into paper. Voice clarity is similar as in traditional phones and there is no disturbance while conversing. Also many people can call from the same line as different numbers has been made to all.

Integrated Voice and data services
The most considerable point of VoIP is that it communicates in both ways ? Voice communication and data communication. One can use this single network for both voice and data communication at the same time without any hurdle. This integration impresses the work culture of small businesses (taking hosted VoIP) which takes huge profit from this service.
?
In the nut shel, VoIP provides various advanced services along with voice communication and also offer various benefits to business empires, so this attraction and comfort make the small businesses switch to VoIP Phone service.

Mehdoh Accounts Mehdoh es posiblemente el mejor cliente gratutito de Twitter e Instagram para WP7

Facebook podr?a ser la red social m?s popular del mundo, pero cuando se trata de Windows Phone 7, los desarrolladores parecen estar a favor de Twitter m?s que Facebook. Lo mejor de la mayor?a de los clientes de Twitter disponibles para la plataforma de Mango es la calidad de estas aplicaciones. La mayor?a de ellos son lo suficientemente buenos para dar a la aplicaci?n oficial de Twitter un plazo para su dinero, y algunos incluso lo superan. Mehdoh es una aplicaci?n de ejemplo, que viene con algunas caracter?sticas distintivas bonitas.

La aplicaci?n est? disponible tanto en el mercado desde hace mucho tiempo, pero su ?ltima actualizaci?n podr?a haber hecho la aplicaci?n de Twitter m?s completo que hay. No s?lo se puede utilizar Mehdoh a tweet, la aplicaci?n tambi?n le permite enlazar su cuenta de Instagram con ?l! ?No suena incre?ble? Siga leyendo para conocer m?s.

La pantalla de bienvenida de Mehdoh solicita a los usuarios iniciar sesi?n en su cuenta de Twitter, y mientras que su l?nea de tiempo se llena despu?s de inicio de sesi?n, la aplicaci?n pide al usuario elegir el servicio que desea utilizar para compartir im?genes en Twitter. Una vez completada la configuraci?n, ?puedes agregar m?s cuentas de Twitter desde la secci?n de administraci?n de cuentas de la aplicaci?n. Si quieres vincular tu cuenta de Instagram con cualquiera de los perfiles de Twitter agregado, vaya al men? de la parte inferior de la p?gina de cuentas y toca agregar una cuenta de Instagram. Su l?nea de tiempo integra los mensajes de todas las cuentas vinculadas, y esta secci?n es muy similar a la oficial WP7 cliente de Twitter. Al deslizar hacia la derecha le llevar? a la menciones secci?n, mientras que otro golpe conduce a mensajes. Puede buscar un usuario o una palabra clave con el bot?n de b?squeda en la barra inferior. La peque?a caja en la parte superior de cada secci?n act?a como un ?rea de notificaci?n, y se mostrar? el n?mero de nuevas menciones o las actualizaciones de la l?nea de tiempo (algo que falta en la aplicaci?n oficial de Twitter).

Los verdaderos cambios se manifiestan en Mehdoh al tocar un tweet para abrirlo. En lugar de simplemente un enlace, la aplicaci?n muestra una vista previa de las im?genes adjuntas o p?ginas web. Para ir a estos avances s?lo deslizar el dedo hacia la izquierda de la pantalla para el enlace de la secci?n. Otra caracter?stica interesante que ofrece es su Mehdoh es traducir tweets con Bing opci?n, que est? disponible para todos los tweets, y la grabaci?n que se convertir? el contenido del tweet para el idioma predeterminado de su WP7, que, tambi?n, sin salir de la pantalla actual.

La Evoluci?n de la secci?n Mehdoh es el m?s completo que hemos visto en una aplicaci?n de WP7. Puedes solicitar una serie de filtros para ver los trending topics en diversas regiones del mundo, y durante diferentes momentos del d?a. Al redactar un nuevo tweet con la aplicaci?n, puede cambiar las cuentas con un solo toque, y el car?cter especial de apoyo tambi?n est? disponible.

Mehdoh est? disponible como una descarga gratuita, y si es un usuario regular de Twitter que tiene una cuenta de Instagram as?, debes darle a la aplicaci?n un intento por secciones de la p?gina Web siguiente mercado m?s adelante.

Google Adds Subscription Billing To Its Android App Store

game-subscriptionsIn what should be a very welcome addition for Android developers, Google is adding subscription billing to its app store. That should give developers yet another to earn revenue on top of in-app purchases of virtual currency, downloads of paid apps and advertising. It will probably most benefit mid and hardcore game developers, who are more likely to have rabid fans willing to pay for monthly access. It will also help magazine publishers, who are still figuring out how to sell content on tablets. All of the subscriptions are auto-renewing and can be set with monthly or annual fees. Developers set the price themselves. ?There's also?an HTTP-based publisher API that lets enterprise-scale backend servers validate or cancel subscriptions.?It's inter-operable with subscriptions on the web, so users can take their paid access with them across devices and web destinations.

Why You Should Eat More Organic Foods if You Want to Lose Weight

Magnesium Oil

It can be easier to lose weight, so that is one reason organic or natural foods should be part of your diet. It must be recognized, of course, that there are more factors than just organic foods, even though they help the body work better, like consuming fewer calories and being on an exercise program.

Just because food is legal or able to be sold, doesn?t mean that it is safe when it contains growth hormones, or pesticides. Yet in many cases, there hasn?t been much research to determine whether such foods are harmful or not.

There is a lot of evidence that some foods are unsafe, such as aspartame, saccharine, and high fructose corn syrup, which can cause many illnesses, along with promoting weight gain. One of the main examples of this, can be found in the increased chance of health problems, including the risk of a stroke, by drinking low-calorie diet pop. To be sensible, you should not only look at low-calorie foods, but they should also be natural foods that are organic.

Eating more fruits and vegetables has always been the best advice for those trying to lose weight, so remember that when you want to eat more organic foods. Cutting back on calories is as important to do as choosing to eat organic foods, especially if your healthier diet is to lose weight. The best choice would be to eat a healthy lunch of lots of organic vegetables, but rather than eating an organic pizza everyday, you would still be better off eating a salad with non-organic vegetables. When you can?t find organic fruits and vegetables, or they are too costly, you should not give up on your goal of healthy eating, so at least eat non-organic fruits and vegetables.

Carbohydrates have been a subject that has been written about lately with regards to weight loss. Another type of diet that has been helpful to a lot of people is one that encourages the eating of high proteins, mixed with low carbs. There are a lot of carbohydrates to choose from, and you need them for energy, but the wrong ones are bad for you. If you need energy and want to burn fat faster, then you should be eating carbs that are low on the Glycemic Index, and are organic and unprocessed. There are many carbs that are in this category, such as lentils and other beans, but brown rice and whole grain pasta also will work. Typically, bread or pasta made from white flour, are the kinds of carbs that you should not be eating. If you are trying to lose weight, you should be eating a lot of these good carbs that are organic.

Natural and organic foods are becoming more important to good health, especially with all of the research showing the harmful effects of genetically modified foods, or those which have been sprayed with pesticides. There seems to be an obvious link between the modern diet of lots of processed foods, and the number of people who are overweight. Lose the weight you want, and improve your health by choosing, whenever possible, to add organic foods to your regular diet.

Jillian Michaels becomes a mom -- times two

Mitchell Haaseth / NBC

By Courtney Hazlett

When Jillian Michaels left her post as a trainer on "The Biggest Loser," in Dec. 2010, she explained the departure by saying, "I want to take a year off TV and focus on becoming a mommy."

Now, Michaels is happy to announce that she is a mother -- times two!

Michaels told People magazine that she recently brought home 2-year-old daughter Lukensia from Haiti. That same week, her partner Heidi Rhoades gave birth to their newborn son, Phoenix, born May 3.

"We're swimming in babies over here," Michaels tells the magazine in the current issue.

In the interview, Michaels describes the two-year-long process that was involved in adopting Lukensia, and talks about her new full, hectic household.

"I don't even answer email. I don't have time to care about anything else," she said. "I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don't want to rush any of it."

NACE - Pathways to Federal Government Jobs: What You Need to ...

Spotlight for Career Services Professionals
May 23, 2012
?

by Tom Phillips?

?On May 11, 2012, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) released the final regulations governing the Pathways Programs.??

The regulations are the result of an executive order issued by President Barack Obama in December 2010?to design programs that streamline the federal government hiring process, and increase the number of students and recent graduates hired by the Federal Government.??

In his executive order, the president cited the enthusiasm, talents, and unique perspectives of those groups, along with the disadvantages students face in the normal competitive federal hiring process and the imperative to build a work force representative of society as reasons for the creation of the Pathways Programs.??

Agencies are expected to implement the regulations by July 10, 2012.?

What can we, as career services professionals, expect from the implementation of these programs? Since students from a wide variety of educational backgrounds and programs will be able to benefit from these programs, we?ll find a relevant Pathways Program, whether we?re working with high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, or alumni.??

The Pathways Programs will consist of three different programs?the Internship Program, the Recent Graduates Program, and the??

Following are details about the programs and ?need-to-know? information about each for career services professionals:

  1. The Internship Program?The Internship Program will replace the Student Education Employment Program (SEEP) by consolidating the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and the Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). SCEP and STEP are still in existence, and agencies have been encouraged to continue using these programs until the Internship Program officially replaces them.

What you need to know about the Internship Program:?? ?

  • The Internship Program is for students in?
    • High schools
    • Community colleges,
    • Four-year colleges,
    • Trade schools,
    • Career and technical education programs, and
    • Other qualifying educational institutions and programs.?
  • Opportunities are meant to be paid, and the pay scale will depend on the qualifications of the student.
  • The work is meant to be meaningful and developmental.
  • Upon successful completion of the Internship Program (640 hours), the intern may be converted, noncompetitively, to a permanent or one- to four-year term appointment position. This mirrors the way the private sector handles internship programs, i.e., as a recruiting tool and a ?test run.? Six hundred and forty hours is a lot of hours, especially if a student is trying to complete it as a summer internship as it is the equivalent of 16 weeks of full-time work. The ability to get credit or waive up to 320 of those hours under certain conditions makes this program more manageable for a wide variety of students.
  • Your students will search for and apply for these positions through www.usajobs.gov. They should use the keywords ?Internship Program? because any agency that advertises a position in this program will have to use these words, e.g., ?Treasury Internship Program.??
  1. The Recent Graduates Program?This program targets individuals who have recently graduated (within 2 years) from qualifying educational institutions or programs.

The Recent Graduates Program will be administered at the agency level. In my opinion, this is the highlight of the Pathways Programs.

Legal Schnauzer: Alabama Attorney Chace Swatek Apparently Died ...


Investigators at the scene saw evidence that Alabama attorney Chace Swatek died from the effects of inhalant abuse, a source tells Legal Schnauzer.

The abuse of inhalants, known in street lingo as "huffing," involves the sniffing of volatile vapors for their intoxicating effects. Chemical vapors that are inhaled for recreational purposes can be found in more than 1,000 common household products.

Swatek came from a family with strong ties to Republican Party politics and a history of unethical behavior in the legal profession. His father, William E. Swatek,?has a 30-year history of ethical violations with the Alabama State Bar. His older brother, Dax Swatek, is a well-known Republican Party consultant with ties to Bill Canary and Karl Rove--and a history of threatening actions toward political foes. His sister, Barret Swatek, is an actress perhaps best known for a minor role in The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Chace Swatek was 35 years old when his body?was found on February 15?behind a stack of metal pipes across from a Shell station at the intersection of Shelby County 35 and 52 in Pelham. Law-enforcement officials quickly ruled out foul play but said they will not know the cause of death until a toxicology report is completed--and that is expected to take six months to a year.

According to Pelham Police Cpt. Larry Palmer, Swatek was in the midst of a two-mile, round-trip walk from a house he was renting in the Mallard Pointe subdivision to a CVS Pharmacy when he apparently collapsed behind the pipes near the Shelby County Services Building.

Investigators found a CVS bag, containing several items and a receipt, near the body. Palmer said he could not identify the items that Swatek purchased because the investigation is ongoing.

A source close to the Pelham Police Department tells Legal Schnauzer that officers on the scene found evidence that suggests Swatek died from the effects of huffing.

Cardiac arrest is a common cause of death in cases of inhalant abuse. From a report by the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC):

Death from inhalant abuse can occur after a single use or after prolonged use. Sudden sniffing death (SSD) may result within minutes of inhalant abuse from irregular heart rhythm leading to heart failure. Other causes of death include asphyxiation, aspiration, or suffocation. A user who is suffering from impaired judgment may also experience fatal injuries from motor vehicle accidents or sudden falls.

According to the NDIC, inhalants come in four groups:

* Volatile solvents--gasoline, nail polish, paint thinner, glue;

* Aerosols--spray paint, deodorant, hair products;

* Gases--butane, propane, nitrous oxide, ether; and

* Nitrites--amyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, and similar chemicals that are used mainly to enhance sexual experiences, rather than to produce euphoria.

In the months leading to Swatek's death, the Pelham Police Department received a number of calls about odd behavior in and around Swatek's office building, our source says. Palmer denied that the department had received such calls, but did so without checking records.

I contacted Swatek's mother, Lana Daniel Swatek, to give her an opportunity to comment on this story. She denied that huffing had anything to do with her son's death and warned me to be "very careful" in reporting on the subject.

Yemen, US vow to crush Qaeda after troops massacred

Yemen's army chief vowed Tuesday no let-up in an offensive against Al-Qaeda after a suicide bomber killed 96 soldiers in a massive attack in the heart of Sanaa and two other would-be attackers were arrested.

The attack on Monday, which also injured some 300 soldiers, drew sharp condemnation from Western powers and a pledge by US President Barack Obama to work with Sanaa to crush Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), blamed for several attempts to blow up US airliners and cargo planes.

The suicide bomber, dressed as a soldier, detonated his explosives as an army battalion was rehearsing a parade at the capital's Sabeen Square scheduled for Tuesday to mark the 22nd anniversary of Yemen's reunification.

The parade was replaced on Tuesday by a low-key, sombre ceremony attended by President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, who watched from behind a bullet-proof shield and left as soon as the event ended without making a speech.

Army chief of staff Ali al-Ashwal used the occasion to warn Al-Qaeda and its local affiliates that the "war" against them would continue unabated.

"The barbaric attack on Sabeen Square will not scare us and will not prevent us from going ahead with our war on these evil elements," Ashwal told the ceremony which was held under tight security measures.

"Our war on them will not stop until we free our land," said Ashwal, who was among the officials, including defence minister Mohammed Nasser Ahmed, apparently targeted in Monday's attack.

Soon after the blast, Yemeni authorities arrested two men in Sanaa who were found hiding explosive belts under their military uniforms, a security official said.

The men, "wearing explosives belts each packed with 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds)" were arrested in Sanaa, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "They were planning to carry out further attacks."

AQAP, the group's Yemen branch, claimed responsibility for the attack which it said targeted "the defence minister and other leaders of the US war on our people in Abyan" province in the south.

"Even if the defence minister and his aides escaped this operation, we will not tire ... we are in a war to defend our blood which is violated in Abyan, and war only breeds war," it said in a statement posted on jihadist Internet forums.

Police Colonel Abdul Hamid Bajjash, the officer in charge of security at the blast site, said Yemen's defence minister was present at the time of the explosion but escaped unharmed.

Yemen's military launched a major offensive in Abyan on May 12 in a bid to drive Al-Qaeda linked jihadists out of towns and cities in the restive province where they have held sway since May last year.

Since the offensive began, 234 people have been killed, according to a tally compiled by AFP, including 158 Al-Qaeda fighters, 41 military personnel, 18 local militiamen and 17 civilians.

Local sources in Abyan told AFP on Tuesday that clashes erupted anew on the western outskirts of Al-Qaeda stronghold Jaar, where the army is currently focusing its assault.

At the same time, the sources said, fighting had subsided around Abyan's capital Zinjibar, which the jihadists have held since last year.

"The war on terror will continue until it is completely destroyed regardless of the sacrifices," President Hadi said after Monday's attack, the deadliest since he took power in February.

Obama said the United States was very worried about the threat posed by AQAP and pledged to work with the Yemeni government to crack down the group.

"We are very concerned about Al-Qaeda and extremist activity in Yemen," Obama told reporters at a NATO summit in Chicago Monday devoted to ensuring that Al-Qaeda is not allowed to regroup in another one-time terror haven, Afghanistan.

The United States has carried out regular drone strikes against AQAP suspects in Yemen.

In May, several US drone strikes killed a number of Al-Qaeda militants including a top Al-Qaeda leader wanted following the disruption of a plot for a suicide bomber to wear a device sewn into custom fit underwear designed to bring down a passenger jet.

The plot mirrored another Yemen-based plot, on Christmas Day 2009, when a suicide bomber tried to bring down a US airliner over Detroit, but the device failed to properly explode.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said those behind the attack must be brought to justice.

The European Union also condemned a "brutal and terrible" bombing, while Britain slammed the "cowardly" suicide bombing.
