Modern Family Cast Members Looking To Cash In On Show?s Success

Some of the cast members from Modern Family are uniting together for more money! Who is holding out for more dough and how will it affect this awesome show? I have all the dirt for you right here. Sofia Vergara,?Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson have banded together for a hefty salary raises to return for season four. Now before you get too worried that these stars are going the way of the? Friends cast or Charlie Sheen, that is so not the case. According to E! online a source inside ABC is claiming that although these cast members do want a raise it is nothing too crazy, definitely not $1 million per episode. Will they get their requested pay hike? That remains to be seen but I have a good feeling about it. It is not uncommon for core cast member to request a pay increase in the fourth season of a show that is doing well. As you all know the show is killing not only ratings wise but it has also won a slew of awards. Although to some of us it might seem greedy it is kind of the nature [...]

LivingSocial launches takeout and delivery service

NEW YORK (AP) ? Throw away all those soy sauce-stained takeout menus.

Online deals site LivingSocial is unveiling an Internet food-ordering service. Hungry customers will be able to use it to order tacos, burgers or Pad Thai from participating restaurants over the Internet for pickup or delivery.

Aptly called "Takeout & Delivery," the service replaces LivingSocial's instant-deals site, which offered real-time discounts with tight time constraints. LivingSocial says that service was a testing ground for its new, food-focused offering.

The service is launching Thursday with more than 2,700 restaurants in 26 U.S. markets, including Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and San Francisco. The two largest, Los Angeles and New York, are coming later, along with the rest of the markets that LivingSocial serves.

LivingSocial will compete with Seamless.com and GrubHub others that let people place food orders online and avoid the phone. Demand for such services has grown as people conduct more of their lives online.

Greg Mazanec, general manager of LivingSocial's new service, described phone takeout orders as a "sometimes painful experience" that requires fishing for a menu in a drawer, giving out credit card information and often getting put on hold and speaking to someone who is distracted.

Mazanec said restaurants won't have to pay to join LivingSocial's service, but they will give LivingSocial an unspecified cut of the revenue they bring in through the site. Mazanec said the amount is negotiated with each restaurant.

People using the takeout and delivery service must have a LivingSocial account, which is free to set up. That's because they will pay with a credit card on file. They don't have to sign up for the company's daily deals emails.

Jesse Mencow, manager of a Tex-Mex restaurant called California Tortilla, said the service helps simplify ordering for takeout and deliveries. The Tex-Mex restaurant has been testing the service along with other restaurants in Washington D.C., where LivingSocial is headquartered. Mencow said the service has helped attract new customers.

LivingSocial's biggest competitor, Groupon Inc., also has been looking into ways to expand beyond its daily emails. It has an instant-deals service called Groupon Now and recently launched an online scheduling tool that lets customers book appointments with small businesses more easily.

Why an Italian lawmaker's phone call trumps Obama's speech

Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti's decision to take a call from an Italian lawmaker during President Barack Obama's speech highlights the tentativeness of his claim to authority.

When Barack Obama praised Italian?Prime Minister Mario Monti's?work fighting his country's debt crisis, Italy's leader wasn't there to listen. He was talking on his cell phone.

Skip to next paragraph

According to leaks from Mr. Monti's staff, he had to take an ?urgent call? from Fabrizio Cicchitto, a senior lawmaker from former leader Silvio Berlusconi's Freedom Party, just as the United States president began his speech during yesterday's nuclear energy summit in Seoul. The prime minister's?staff refused to disclose the topic of such an urgent conversation.?

While the world was well-acquainted with Mr. Berlusconi's gaffes (such has his description of Obama as a ?young man with a nice tan?), the new prime minister's faux-pas was quite unexpected.?Of the 52 world leaders at the summit, he was the only one who skipped Obama's speech.?He was also the only leader openly mentioned in the same speech ? a move widely interpreted as a demonstration of Mr. Obama's esteem.

Monti ? a former university headmaster and European commissioner with an understated, professorial manner ? seemed to fit in better than Berlusconi at international summits, making Monti well-suited to the task of restoring Italy's image abroad. It's one of the reasons Monti was chosen by the Italian Parliament to lead a transitional government when Berlusconi resigned last year.?

But while Monti has a better international reputation than his predecessor, at home he is much less respected.

As a crisis-time leader who was appointed, not elected, some view Monti as a lame duck hostage to a Parliament still controlled by Berlusconi's People of Freedom party, and to them the fact that he put a Freedom party lawmaker over Obama confirms this view.

The anecdote became a hit on the Italian blogosphere and reached Twitter's top trends, with many cracking jokes on the newly-acquired status of Mr. Cicchitto, a medium-profile politician.

Among the jokes: ?Pope Benedict had to postpone his meeting with Fidel Castro. He had to take a call from Cicchitto.?

Popular Diet Aids | Health, Fitness, Diet and Weight Loss Tips for ...

For any dieter that keeps up to date on the numerous types of diets on the market, the numbers are astounding. It seems next to impossible to know the right diet to use or which one is healthy without any health risk factors.

The following is a partial list of what some people claim to be ?The Popular Diet?

I. Many options include apple cider vinegar that is an old fashion weight loss remedy claiming to have many benefits including dieting issues.

II. Monavie is a juice that uses the acai berry, which is the newest craze for weight loss.

III. Slim Quick is a traditional herbal diet aid.

IV. Benefiber is a fiber supplement that claims to help with weight loss.

V. Lindora is a clinical based and monitored program used primarily for treating obesity.

VI. Lisinopril is a drug originally intended to regulate and lower heart attack risks but is used for dieting.

VII. Banital is a combination of nutrition, detox, and diet supplement.

VIII. The Atkins Diet promises weight loss when reducing the carb intake.

IX. The LA Weight Loss is centered on fitness centers in the Los Angeles area.

X. Alli Diet Pill is widely sold for weight loss in major department stores across the nation.

The top weight loss for 2009 is Avesil for controlling weight. It is the most researched diet method based on clinical research based on a peer-review. Unlike other diets, Avesil is based on clinical studies and proof of the results. It has a higher rate, nearly three times higher, than other healthy diets with exercise.

People using Avesil claim the diet aid provides realistic results. It is safe and effective for weight loss when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. It does not claim weight loss without exercise as many current diets do.

Avesil promises to deliver a healthy, reasonable, and substantial weight loss for a risk-free trial period. This attracts many to use the product. Many feel the product will provide the results they are seeking based on the clinical research and results from prior dieters.

It is a safe and effective weight loss regimen for anyone seeking to lose weight effectively without any health related factors that many other diets have. When a person diets, they want to know they will have results without any health complications, Avesil offers everything many seek for their dieting means. It seems to be the best option for losing weight and is becoming a fast means used by many people.

You should always check with your physician prior to using any weight loss product.

Why these kids? Part One ? Mama'ing Again

Okay, another recent post was by the blogger asking why THESE kids?

(as I?m typing, I can see this is going to be multi-part)

One motive is put forward: money.

It is cheaper to adopt from foster care.? This *is* a reason people go this route, at least at first and to some degree.? I recently inquired on a situation where a birth mother was asking for someone with very specific requirements.? Well, *extremely* few adoptive families meet her requirements; I do.? So I inquired.? I sent my reply to the agency as well as a ?dear birthmom letter.?? The agency?s reply wasn?t about whether the birth mom would be interested in us or anything of the sort.? It was simply to let us know that the fees associated with this child would run about $36,000.? Seriously?? So what should this mother do?? She doesn?t feel she can raise the child and yet the handful of adoptive families who meet her requirements can?t afford to pay that sort of money before the child?s birth.

But with my three?? I won?t pay a dime towards their adoption.? The state will pay my attorney, the state?s attorney, the children?s attorney.? The state will pay for all the filing, paperwork, etc.? The state pays the adoption worker, her supervisor, the person who redacts the file, etc.? I don?t have a clue how much the actual costs are (though I?d guess a WHOLE lot less than $36K!), but my tax money and my neighbor?s tax money is paying for it.? And while they do?? I?m getting the foster care stipend that helps me take care of their needs whether their new suits and pretty dresses or their gymnastics and swim lesson or the new furniture and bikes.? They deserve the absolute best and I?m glad I had a year of a little more money to spend on them!? They came from so little.? The zoo, restaurants, fairs, pictures in the fields of wildflowers, homeschool programs, etc are so worth it.? They deserve anything and everything I can get them while the state is working out making them mine forever.

Okay, so the children come with an adoption subsidy also.? This is help after the adoption.? Some may call it a paycheck.? Well, maybe not.? Here, the adoption subsidy is a fraction of what the foster care stipend is. My kids? needs aren?t changing any as we finalize their adoptions, but the amount of help we?ll get to care for those needs will cut down to less than half.

Subsidy also includes help with medical. THANKFULLY.? Seriously, a lot of these kids have additional medical issues as well as ongoing mental health concerns.? They deserve as much help as possible.? Having secondary medical coverage will help CONSIDERABLY in getting them the services that they need!

It isn?t all-inclusive though! For example, medicaid will pay for speech therapy for a child as long as they are under the 13th percentile (btw, in public school here, it is the 7th percentile).? A child?s speech has to be pretty rough to be so low!? For example, one of my children?s speech is at the 11th percentile.? He is 40% intelligible by strangers and 60% by people who know him.? Our agency worker speaks to him about 3 times per month and ?can usually get the gist of what he?s saying? (her words).? Okay, so medicaid will pick up the difference between what our insurance will pay and what it costs to have our speech therapist out here until he gets over 13 percent.? Well, then? We either have to pay the difference (approx. $880 per month) or take him to a speech center where we can pay just a normal 10% co-pay.? Obviously, we?ll have to choose the latter despite the fact that that is very likely not best for him.

Subsidy also includes a number of post-adoption services.? We will get a small amount yearly towards summer camp (this amount changes yearly, but may be $100 or $300).? The children will be able to stay with their same therapist, a therapist who doesn?t take our insurance or the kind of Medicaid the state will give us.? The adoptive therapy/support group that costs $35 per session now will be free. Respite is offered.? Family therapy is offered.? Help finding information and services is offered.? I didn?t know all that was included in the subsidy, but I?m glad it is.

And then there is the Tax Credit.? Boy has this been something discussed a lot the last few years. See, the tax credit used to be just an amount that would offset the amount of tax you were required to pay.? The amount varies yearly, but it is around $12-13K per kid.? Well, in order to get to offset $12,000 of tax liability, a married couple has to have a taxable income (adjusted gross income minus deductions and exemptions) over $79,000.? I don?t even know how to figure how much our income would have to be to take it for three kids in one year.? I don?t need to know as there is no way we?ll ever make that kind of money.? So the tax law allows people to take it over five years.? With seven exemptions plus the standard deduction, we simply will never use one child?s offset, much less three. Our tax liability was under $1000 for 2011.

So they offered the tax credit to be refundable for a couple years.? This allowed a family to get the money back if they didn?t have the tax liability.? For example, a friend of mine adopted a sibling group of 5.? Her tax return, including the tax credit refund is pretty high.? Is that a paycheck?? Maybe for some.? But this money allows for her to give her kids things opportunities they simply could not provide.? Additionally, it makes buying a car big enough to carry such a large family more of a possibility.? It makes renting/buying a home a consideration. It makes it possible for mom to stay home with the children to address their developmental, mental health, and individual needs which *are* greater because of their pasts.

It may be worth considering who are the people adopting from foster care?? Are they wealthy people?? Or are they people like my friend and I who simply wanted to help children and families (fostering) while possibly building our own families (adopting)?? Are they more likely solidly middle class and working poor or people who are making $300,000 per year?

Am I hoping the refund-ability of the tax credit gets extended for people who adopt in 2012?? ABSOLUTELY.? That money will let us breath a little easier as we give every opportunity from education to sports to everything above the love that we share with them for a long while to come.? It will allow us to pay for specialized therapies, a home with enough bedrooms, etc.? Is it absolutely necessary?? No.? But it will help CONSIDERABLY.? I don?t need to be rich and neither do they.? But they?ve already been denied SO much, it?d be nice if they could have a little more for a time.

Anyway, so that is the money side of it.? We aren?t getting rich by adopting from foster care.? We are struggling in lots of ways.? As I was filling out the adoption subsidy paperwork, I could see how poor we really are. That doesn?t make us a good ?placement.?? It means our love runs deeper than our wallets :) ? I?m glad we?ll get a little help.? It makes it possible for people like us to provide a normal childhood as well as the care these kids need.

Really, money is really a very small consideration.? Yes, I can afford to adopt from foster care while I can?t pay $36,000 for a child.? Yes, I will get a subsidy.? But though those things may encourage people to look this direction, it doesn?t mean it is the reason for doing it.

To ask "Who is George Zimmerman?" -- as many are now asking -- is perhaps the wrong question. Undoubtedly, Zimmerman needs to be brought to justice in the tragic and unjust killing of Trayvon Martin.

The killing of Trayvon Martin demonstrates how insidiously pervasive racism remains in this country and reminds us how truly far we are from achieving racial justice.

A bigger question that must also be asked is "Who is Florida?" We could ask a question about the direction America is headed on race and violence but let's stick to Florida for a moment. While race is a fundamental factor in this case, and rightly stirring a national furor, I want to draw attention to levels of violence in Florida.

Florida is the fourth most violent state in the U.S. It is in America's Top 10 for most violent crimes per 100,000 people. It is also in the Top 10 for incarceration rates and police employees per 100,000 and near the top 10 for homicides per capita. In our U.S. Peace Index, it ranked near the bottom at 47th. Only Nevada, Tennessee and Louisiana are more violent. In short, there is a culture of violence in Florida that must be addressed when looking at George Zimmerman. He is not alone.

Florida does not understand how to keep the peace, despite its high numbers of police per capita. What we know from our index's strongest correlations, is that a state's ability to provide for its population in the following areas dramatically increases its capacity to lower its levels of violence: Graduate your students, insure your residents, provide access to basic services, lower poverty and inequality rates, and increase labor participation rates, and the less prevalent and pervasive violent crime, homicide, incarceration, policing and small arms trafficking will be.

Florida, then, must rethink its latest budget cuts, which have eaten away at education, health care, basic services and economic opportunity. If it wants to save money, there is another way -- by reducing violence. For example, if Florida reduced its violence by a mere 25 percent, savings would surpass $9.3 billion. Those are monies that state budget desperately needs. The equation is simple: Reduce violence, save money. But for some reason, Florida's state legislature remains undeterred in its efforts to cut policies that will ultimately prevent violence.

This tragedy must not only refocus America's attention on its pervasive racism but also refocus Florida's attention on preventing violence.

3 Factors that Affect Business Productivity

It is vital that businesses of all types, sizes and purposes devote attention to strategies to increase profitability and to do this, the potential and possibilities created by modern business phone systems technology should be embraced.

It is increasingly common for staff to spend at least some of their time working offsite. Customers and clients need to be visited and often new business is generated through meetings outside the office. Previously, business owners and managers have been concerned that productivity will suffer unless staff are working in the office with access to the organisations systems and documents.

Here we consider three factors that are known to influence business productivity.

Business mobile phones (and internal phone systems) have completely revolutionised the ways that work can be performed and the potential for staff to be equally as productive whether they are working in or out of the office. Because they are essentially ?mini computers, business mobiles have the features necessary for staff to remain in close contact and carry out a range of work functions, whether they are in or far away from the office.

With internet access, the ability to tap into the systems of the organisation from the remote location of the user, useful calendar and personal organisation features and still and video camera functions as standard, business mobiles ensures that staff members are kept up to date and are effective even when travelling and working far from the office and their desktop computer.

This may sound a little contrived, but one of the most significant determinants of whether a business is productive and successful is the extent to which its leaders and employees feel passionate, enthused and motivated by the organisation, industry and the work that is done.

When staff enjoy what they do and feel that they do it well, this translates to customers. Enthusiasm is infectious and when you believe in what you do and why it makes a difference, you will find that customers are more inclined to do business with you and feel more confident about obtaining products or services from your company.

Businesses in which staff members are organised and thorough are almost invariably more productive and profitable. In business, it is imperative that queries and obligations are followed up and there is nothing more damaging to a business than to make a promise or give an assurance and then fail to follow through.

Customers and clients commonly feel more confident when dealing with businesses that are obviously well organised and efficient. In a fiercely competitive world, businesses need to impress actual and potential customers on every level so that they present themselves as credible, worthy and reliable.

Of course, there are many factors combined that determine the extent to which a business is productive. Technology (such as business mobile phones) is critical to business productivity particularly when your staff members are working out of the office. In this technologically advanced and sophisticated age, businesses that harness the potential of technology to increase levels of productivity frequently enjoy superior results and profitability.
