| How Jaci Rae Learned the Value of a Dollar - The Early Years
My life has been anything but ordinary. I began life impoverished, but with poverty came a street knowledge that I might not have found otherwise. It is because of my early years that I came to learn how to get something for free or next to it. Even though my story is quite different today, I still use these same strategies to save money and get the most bang for my buck. I have been to the depths of financially disparity and I don't want anyone to have to suffer the same. I know what it's like and I have been there pinching pennies since I was very young. As my Grandmother always used to say, when she sat me on her lap to read me a story, "It's always best to start at the beginning." The beginning for me is my early years and how I learned at a very young age the value of a dollar.

EU Socialists call for hedge fund regulation
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Hedge funds and private equity pose risks to financial market stability and should be regulated more tightly, top Socialist MEPs said on Thursday. The European Union assembly's second-largest group unveiled a report which it said showed the case for mandatory regulation in a sector that has hit the headlines in recent months for its ever-bigger takeovers and sparked labour union concern. "We are dealing with hedge funds raising questions of systemic risk," Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, president of the group and a former prime minister of Denmark, told reporters. Hedge fund TCI put Dutch bank ABN AMRO (AAH.AS: Quotazione, Profilo) into play last month by asking for it to be split up to create more value to shareholders. Private equity firm Texas Pacific Group came under fire when airline catering firm Gate Gourmet, which it has since sold, sacked hundreds of people.
NavDog - Maps Your Events
Navdog is a clever social mapping application that enables users to search and locate events and other local happenings. Users are requested to setup a simple profile and login sequence and setup their "home" location. Once created, the user then simply logs in and local events are presented. Browse events, register as a member, create a list of saved events, add and create your personal event listings. For example, once my homebase was setup in Fort Collins, CO, I then saw a number of local event listings like concerts, festivals and other cool things. For advertisers, Featured Listings are presented in a very visible manner and eye-catching graphics and logos are also displayed in a floating window... in my case I was presented with details of The Taste of Vail Festival and a non-intrusive Starbucks logo was also presented to me.
