The Federal Trade Commission recently released an in-depth, multi-year study, and the results are staggering: a majority of identity theft victims do not have a clear understanding of their rights and do not have a clear plan for remedying their identity theft when they contacted the credit bureaus.
Obama Trying Too Hard for ‘Cool’ ...
posted on: Apr 27, 2012 | author: Jason Owen
I wasn’t going to even watch the video of Obama slow jamming. It just didn’t seem that interesting. Sure, it’s funny, but it’s not like Obama hasn’t done late night shows before. Then I saw something about Fox and Friends host Gretchen Carlson calling his appearance on Fallon, “nutso.” Being Fox and Friends, I didn’t think much of it. The backlash continued. A Missouri GOP House Member was reported to say in apparent response to the video that student loans gave America “stage three cancer of socialism.” Even that was not reason for me to watch. Republicans in the House have said much worse. But now we have George Stephanopoulos, of all people, reducing the issue to, “Campaigning for the ‘Cool’ Vote.” I drew the line. No, George. The President is just trying to do what is right.

Your reputation, career and life depend on it. You may not like what you find, but you can't manage what you can't measure. The Internet renders everybody – including yourself – as an editor and publisher. Lives are made and destroyed on the Internet. An inadvertent picture can ruin a career or marriage.
Wal-Mart Lobbies Changes to Bribery Law
posted on: Apr 25, 2012 | author: Jason Owen
Wal-Mart, America's largest employer, now under investigation for allegations of bribery in Mexico, may also have been an influential voice in efforts to reform the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the international law protecting against such things as bribing foreign companies in order to curry favor in garnering building and/or zoning permits. As the Washington Post reports, the Institute for Legal Reform, a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, has sought to "clarify" the law in a push for amendments. These efforts have gone largely unnoticed in the public eye, but there have been battles raging in Congress and the White House on this issue.
Spring Cleaning Part Deux
posted on: Apr 25, 2012 | author: DIY Journal
There are so many things I feel I “miss out” on living in an apartment; yards, gardens, privacy, bbq’ing… Alas, a part of my spring cleaning goals is not only to actually get some cleaning and organizing done physically, but to do so mentally as well. So I am going to try to save my sanity (and planet a little) and bring those things to my tiny space.
Our New Marriage Column: Married, Party of On...
posted on: Apr 24, 2012 | author: Theresa Medranda
Before I met my husband, I was not that interested in getting married and I wasn't sure it would ever happen. I had a wonderful life. Living in the city, being a social butterfly, enjoying the singles scene – I had finally become comfortable with myself to a point where I didn’t need anyone. So when friends would refer to their weddings as ‘the big day’ I would argue that I had plenty of those that were just as important. Running a marathon, buying a home, traveling the world, witnessing births and deaths – these were all BIG days. Who decided that a wedding was any more significant than these life events?

Obama’s Debt Problem? He’s Served...
posted on: Apr 24, 2012 | author: Jason Owen
We’re going to see a lot over the next few months prior to the 2012 Election (as maybe some of you have seen already these past few months) charts and graphs excoriating President Obama’s lavish “spending” and how he has increased the debt by nearly $5 trillion dollars over his first term, equal to Pres. George W. Bush’s full two terms in office. In truth, that’s a hell of a lot of money. And since Congress is steadfast in their opposition to any revenue raising legislation, our debt “crisis” will only get worse if conservatives win this election. But how is this even possible? How could Obama gorge himself so substantially in just a few years to the same tune as Pres. Bush did in eight? Well, turns out these figures only explain half the problem.

Spring Cleaning, au naturel
posted on: Apr 23, 2012 | author: DIY Journal
So, I have reached the point where I can no longer put it off anymore. I must now get on my hands and knees, get a swift kick in the ass by motivation, and start the actual cleaning part of the whole “spring cleaning” thing. This past week has not really been all that inspiring; wind, sleet, rain, cold cold cold. But, I just booked my train ticket to see my mother during spring break, so the sooner I clean up the better.

Dems Introduce WORK Act: All Mothers Deserve ...
posted on: Apr 20, 2012 | author: Jason Owen
House Democrats are planning to introduce legislation later this week in an apparent response to the ballyhoo surrounding Hilary Rosen's comments last week alluding to Ann Romney's never working a day in her life. The WORK (Women's Option to Raise Kids) Act will allow mothers with children 3 and under to stay at home and continue to receive benefits under the federal TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) program that was part of the 1996 welfare reform passed by Pres. Bill Clinton. Under current law, raising children is exempt toward the required "work activity" that must be performed by the recipient - some states do allow exceptions for children under 1 year old.
DIY and Funkify Your Garden Space

So there are a few things I know about: I know about being broke, I know about so badly wanting to grow my own food, and I know about thrift store shopping and making a little something out of nothing. So out of all of my “vast” knowledge and some motivation, I have found some pretty rockin’ ways (through friends, family, and research) to reuse materials for planting and to add a little bit of spunk to a garden space.
Lost Art: Review of Elzhi’s Elmatic and...

When it was announced that his next project was a tribute album to Nas’ Illmatic, much of the hip hop world was left wondering if Elzhi was burned out or just lacking inspiration. If there has been one venture that has failed or fallen short of success. Cover albums have given many artists to create new ventures or breaks from writer’s block or lack of direction in creativity. In hip-hop, when it is necessary to stay relevant, artists drop “mix-tapes.” Mix tapes in some essence are cover albums, where production work comes from old projects or tracks from other artist’s album and contains a freestyle or new verse by an artist. Even though it features a sound or take of another project, it never takes the spin of creating a variation of a classic.
