Steve Beshear, in an executive action, removed Fox from her council seat after her appointment was not approved by the state House of Representatives in the recently concluded legislative session.Fox, in an April 29 letter to council chairman John Turner, said the Kentucky Constitution requires only that her appointment be approved by the state Senate.Fox said the state law requiring approval by both the House and the S

Why do bloggers run contests? It’s simple, they do it to increase exposure and build up their stats. But why would you offer incentives if you are simply not going to pay? In the long run, you’ll lose more than just those participants you screwed over. Personally, I have been screwed over twice and it has been on two very different occasions. The first, I participated in a contest that was giving away various prizes to five lucky contestants. And ‘oh look,’ I wasn’t the top prize winner, but ended up with a fourth place prize. I contacted the person hosting the contest on two different occasions and never heard anything back. The sad part about all of this, the prize that I won was just a cheap fourth place prize – equivalent to a simple backlink or something – and nothing. So why make a big deal post about it? It’s not about the prize; it’s about the moral behind the issue – “Don’t Hold Contests if You Are ‘Not’ Going to Payout… even i
I entered Rajin' Cajun's stock of the year contest for 2008 over at Madstocks. I decided to take a flyer on CYNO because of a number of reasons. From a technical prospective I like that it has pulled back big time but appears to have found a bottom at a previous support level. From a fundamental perspective I like that the company is growing revenues and earnings rapidly, has solid institutional support, and now sports a very modest P/E ratio relative to its growth. I also like that the stock has an extremely high short ratio with 28% of shares sold short. I own CYNO in real life, by the way, having initiated a position during the last couple of days of 2007. I was also asked to participate in a "Financial Blogger Face-Off" over at SINLetter.com. This contest required me to pick three stoc

My favorite memory has to be of the tree. I was raised by my grandmother and we never had a Christmas tree that I can remember. The house was just too small to fit a tree into. But outside, just by the front gate, there was a small pine tree growing. Each Christmas we would go outside and decorate our tree. Mostly with popcorn strings that the b
