Why Kanye's infamous Katrina dig got under Bush's skin

The buzz has already started about the release of former

president George W. Bush's memoir, Decision Points, November

9. Crown Publishers in its pre-release hype promises that Bush

will talk about the 14 decisions that he regarded as the most

critical during his contentious two terms in office. The two

decisions that have already garnered attention are to no surprise what he said and did

during and after the 9/11 attacks that changed the course of law, public policy and

warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan and the anti-terrorism battle.

The second was Hurricane Katrina and like 9/11 what Bush did and didn't do when the

hurricane savaged New Orleans and the Gulf. Kanye West gave the answer that

grabbed media attention, got the majority of African-American heads nodding in

agreement, and almost certainly stuck in the craw of Bush and White House officials.

Three Way Eight

Ball Avoidance By: Peter Mehit, Custom Business Planning and Solutions

At one point in my career, I managed a lot of software projects. At least once on each project,

I would be handed the classic dilemma: ―You can have it on budget or on time, but you can‘t

have both.‖ The person that was saying this to me was expressing frustration about being

behind an eight ball, sometimes because of my planning, sometimes theirs and sometimes it

was the accumulation of all the times we didn‘t say ‗no‘ to the client.

During this period, I learned about a concept called the ‗triple constraint‘. The ‗triple

constraint‘ consists of Scope, Time and Resources. Explained below, it is a quick way to

think about any situation and be able to know how difficult it will be. One way to think about

it is as three forces that are all pushing against each other such that, any change in one will

affect at least one of the other two.

The first force is scope. Well defined scope is at the heart of any contract, business plan or

project. Simply put, scope how much work will be done and what the delivered product will

look like. For a project, it is the set of tasks that will be met and the objective of the project.

For a company these are the process steps that are used to deliver its product to a customer.

How big the scope is drives two other forces: time and resources.

Time is literally how much time you want a task or process to take. In selling a car, two hours

may be an acceptable time. Writing a contract may take 10 hours. Machining steel into a part

may take a few minutes. Time affects scope because the time limit will determine how much

scope you can accomplish. If you choose well in developing your scope, you should be able

to accomplish the work in the time you set. Scope and time, in turn, are dependent on

resources.

Resources are the things that you need to get the job done. Most think this applies to people

alone, but it also can be a line of credit, a machine or anything else that gets your process

steps completed so you can deliver your product. A well planned business or project will

allow the work described by scope to be performed in the time allowed with the resources you

select.

All these forces act on each other. A change in one means a change in the others. If you add

more to scope, you will need more resources, time or both. If you have a reduction in

resources, you will have to increase time or reduce scope or both.

For example, if you set contract scope for 100 parts per 8 hour shift based on your shop

producing a part in 4 minutes and you find out that it actually takes 6, you have several choices:

Reduce the number of parts required by scope (result: fewer parts produced)

Add more resources in the form of additional machines (result: higher costs for more machines and labor)

Add more time in the form of overtime pay (result: higher costs for labor).

The choice you make is based the specifics of your situation. The important point is that you have a quick way of analyzing the

impact of any change using the ‗triple constraint‘. It‘s simple and powerful. Understanding that changing any of the three elements

will have an impact on at least one of the others, you can make quick assessments of business situations and rapidly come up with

usable choices. Custom Business Planning & Solutions – Helps businesses stop losses, get positioned for growth and reach goals.

Education

Grant Gives 40 Local

High School Students

Seats at Fox Show

Forty Ramona High School students will see musical “The Color Purple” Saturday at the Fox Performing Arts Center thanks to a recent Target stores donation to the Fox Riverside Theater Foundation. The foundation was recognized by Target for its efforts to educate youth about performance art and the creative treasures to be experienced on stage at the Fox Performing Arts Center. “The Color Purple” performance is part of the Fox Foundation mission to work with area schools to bring students and their teachers to the historic theater to see a touring Broadway play this season. “Educating Riverside’s youth through first-hand experience of theater is crucial to developing the arts community and future arts patrons, and we are grateful to Target for its support of Fox Performing Arts Center, our flagship institution in the City of Arts and Innovation,” said Mayor Ron Loveridge.

Patricia Scarborough, Ramona’s director of theater, said the donation was “offering the gift of live theater to many students who would not

be able to attend on their own.” “We’re really excited about meeting professional actors as a group and hear from them why they decided to be professional actors,” said Amelia Callahan, 17, who is enrolled in the Ramona High School theater program. “What’s really cool is that the Fox is local. It’s accessible. And it’s nice to be able to see professional performers here at your fingertips instead of driving to L.A.” READ MORE

Inspiration & Church News

Enjoy Confident Trust

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You Lord, alone make me dwell in safety

and confident trust. – Psalm 4:8

Some people feel their lives are an emotional mess, but they have a right to stability.

There is stability, peace, and power in the presence of God. People don‘t have to let

their emotions control them; they can learn to dwell in the secret place of the Most

High.

The Word says, ―HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain

stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand). I will say of the Lord, He is

my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I (confidently) trust!‖ (Psalm 91:1-2).

That is why we should dwell in that place where we experience the

presence of the Almighty.

Start Moving

Bless the Lord…..who satisfies our mouth with good so that your

youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1, 5

Proverb‘s 6:4 says, ―Give not unnecessary sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to our eyelids.‖ The Bible is

saying, ―Get the sleep you need, but then wake up!‖ Too much sleep brings poverty. It is like a robber who

steals from you and makes you helpless. (see Proverbs 6:11).

Too little sleep will ruin your day too. Being tired and cranky doesn‘t help you hear from God. Make rest a

priority, but then get up. Start moving first thing in the morning, saying, ―Thank you, Lord, that I am alive

for another day with You. I believe I am anointed to do what You ask me to do today. My youth is renewed

like the eagle‘s, just as You promised.‖

California foreclosure aid fund

swells, but banks hesitate

By Alejandro Lazo and E. Scott Reckard, Los Angeles Times

Federal funding for a California plan that helps borrowers facing

foreclosure has snowballed to $2 billion, enough to potentially help

more than 100,000 homeowners.

But the program lacks formal agreements with the nation's largest

banks and investors, and their cooperation is needed to make the

proposed effort broadly successful.

Out of the three major mortgage servicers — Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. —

only Bank of America has told the state that it will participate in a central part of its Keep Your Home program that would

reduce the principal balance of certain troubled mortgages, and even B of A has yet to sign an agreement. Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac have declined to participate in the principal reduction part of the plan.

The Keep Your Home program, which uses federal funds reserved for the 2008 rescue of the financial system, is intended

for low- and moderate-income people who own only one property. To qualify in Los Angeles County, a family of four

couldn't earn more than $75,600. The maximum benefit for any household participating in the program is $50,000. READ

Fannie Mae Marks First Year of

First Look™ Initiative

Nearly 35,000 Owner Occupants and Public Entities Purchase Homes

Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) announced that more than 29,000 owner occupants have purchased homes in neighborhoods across the country through its First Look™ initiative over the last year. Fannie Mae also worked with nearly 800 public

entities under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to build stronger communities. Using NSP funds, public entities purchased nearly 5,000 Fannie Mae-owned foreclosure properties.

First Look is designed to promote owner occupancy and provide both owner occupants and public entities an advantage in submitting offers on Fannie Mae-owned foreclosed properties without competition from investors. Only offers from owner

occupants and participants of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program are considered during the initial period a property is on the market. Offers from investors are considered after the First Look window has passed.

"While investors play an important role in the REO market, homebuyers who intend to occupy a home make an immediate and lasting commitment to the community and therefore merit priority consideration in the REO sales process," said Jay

Ryan, Vice President for Alternative REO Dispositions at Fannie Mae. "Public entities under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program also benefit from inspecting eligible properties and making offers to purchase without pressure from open market competition. These entities are making considerable investments in rehabilitation and stabilization." READ MORE

The Inside Success Story

25 Self-Made Teenage Millionaires Have

These 7 Things in Common

Nick Tart and his business partner are only 22, but they've already become experts in Generation-Y entrepreneurship.

After interviewing 25 self-made 6-figure+ teenage entrepreneurs, the pair authored the book: 50 Interviews: Young Entrepreneurs, What It Takes To Make More Than Your Parents.

What they found is that all the entrepreneurs shared a lot of similar traits. These kids were lemonade stand sellers on steroids, hustling classmates in elementary school and staying in on weekends to work on their businesses.

Here is what separated these successful teens from their other, ordinary classmates.

Family support and encouragement

All 25 teenagers came from families that didn't doubt their ambitions. This doesn't mean that the entrepreneurs received financial support. We're talking about emotional support.

With the exception of Catherine Cook, the founder of MyYearbook.com who received seed money from her brother, most young millionaires Tart interviewed funded their own projects.

Catherine Cook of My Yearbook

Some were given loans that they later paid back. One received $10 from his parents to buy a domain name. Emil Motycka, a 21-year-old who made his money with a commercial lawn mowing business, co-signed an $8K loan to buy his first lawn mower. Both paid off their debt within a year.

Like the rest of their generation, these entrepreneurs were told they were special. This time, they actually were.

Start with something manageable

Whether it was blogging or pushing a lawn mower, each young millionaire started with an idea they could actually execute. Tackling something manageable built their confidence, and it helped them build reputations as entrepreneurs. "I think all of them are getting into more substantial businesses now," says Tart, "but they had to start small to build their names in the business world."

One example is Juliette Brindak, 21-year-old founder of MissOAndFriends.com. After eight years of working on her startup, she received an investment from Proctor & Gamble that led her company to a $15 million valuation. With time, her

idea grew from manageable to masterful. Juliette Brindak of Miss O and Friends.com

Hard work and being relentless

Most entrepreneurs go through a lot of trial and error before they strike gold. The 25 teenagers are no exception.

Adam Horowitz, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, started 30 websites in 3 years before he became successful. Finally, he sold his first six-figure product. After that, he sold another successful product, and then another.

"About three months ago, Horowitz came out with another product that produced $1.5 million in revenue in 3 days," says Tart. "None of that would have happened without his 30 initial failures."

A sacrifice that adults don't have to make: Childhood

What do teenagers have to lose? Not a whole lot. Most don't have to pay rent, feed families, or go to work. Fortunate teenagers have no real expenses; they have the freedom to do what they want, when they want, and that includes entrepreneurship.

One thing these 25 kids did have to sacrifice? Their childhood.

Founder Emil Motycka recalls being invited to the pool with friends. He'd turn them down to mow lawns instead. Motycka was made fun of for his business priorities; friends who

lacked his responsibilities didn't understand his logic.

Now Motycka's work has paid off and he owns a house his friends frequently take advantage of.

They were told they wouldn't be successful

There's no motivation like being told you can't do something. Most of the 25 entrepreneurs Tart interviewed encountered a lot of negativity from teachers and friends. Michael Dunlop is one exceptional example.

School was challenging for Dunlop as a dyslexic student. Teachers told him he wouldn't be successful, and the young entrepreneur dropped out of high school. Despite his disability, Dunlop took up blogging and started Incomediary.com. The site now rakes in 6-figures and has a 12,000 Alexa rating.

"His writing isn't great, but he has millions of readers," says Tart. "Dunlop has an amazing intuition for business, and his opinions are always right."

Catherine Cook, founder of MyYearbook.com, also faced negativity. One year after launching her site, Cook received her first offer to sell. When she refused, the prospective buyer told her, 'You'll never reach the necessary threshold of 3 million users. You're making a big mistake." She quickly proved them wrong. MyYearbook.com now has 22 million users.

About three months ago, Horowitz came out with another

product that produced $1.5 million in revenue in 3 days. None of

that would have happened without his 30 failures.

They kept personal and business lives separate

Gen-Y is supposed to be narcissistic. But a lot of these youngsters didn't want the glory associated with being a young founder. Four of the 25 interviewed entrepreneurs did not go by their real names.

Part of the reason they're cautious about identities is because of their young age. Another reason is because they want to keep business and social lives separate.

"It's like they wanted to start businesses as fake people," Tart says. "Catherine Cook [founder of MyYearbook.com]

would work on her website only after her college roommate went to bed. She wanted to keep her business to herself and separate it from her personal life."

Young entrepreneurs also don't want their friends to know their rolling in money because people take advantage of them. Andrew Fashion, an entrepreneur who earned $2.5 million and blew it all by his 22nd birthday, learned this the hard way. His friends lived in his house but wouldn't pay him rent, and when he bought a friend a car, they totaled it. These teens have learned the hard way that everyone is not trust-worthy.

They were born sellers According to Tart, most of his interviewees started selling trinkets when they were in grade school. "Michael Dunlop started selling Pokemon cards. He realized the pieces of cardboard were high in demand and they were way undervalued." Keith J. Davis sold bubble gum to classmates, a desirable treat that was forbidden by teachers. Andrew Fashion turned mechanical pencils into rocket launchers.

The young millionaires got practice selling early and never stopped. So is entrepreneurship nature or nurture? These kids were certainly born with the bug, but they wouldn't have been successful without relentless business attempts and their unmatched drive.
