President Obama Visits Los Angeles USC and Glendale, CA

October 22, 2010

President Obama visited  Los Angeles today.

President Barack Obama Visits Los Angeles USC and Glendale, CA through Burbank, CA airport.

President Obama made  an appearance to support Barbara Boxer at USC at a rally from 9am to 3pm.

Apparently Obama flew over USC in Air Force One. This time he is not driving to USC, but there will be a motorcade from Glendale to LAX.

Air Force One surrounded by Apache helicopters headed to USC

After that the President will make his way to Glendale, CA for an interview with Spanish television. The interview will be located inside the Unum building on Central Ave near the 134 Fwy. The interview/event is not open to the public.

Road closures will be in effect in Glendale until 4pm.

Obama is also scheduled to travel from USC to Glendale before leaving via LAX late Friday afternoon.

@USCAnnenberg: ATVN selected to provide live stream of President Obama’s speech on campus: https://bit.ly/c06M3U

At USC Alumni Park expected to draw more than 30,000 people.

There’s a chance that Obama may take a helicopter from USC to Glendale and then to LAX for his departure from Los Angeles.

So now we know Obama was routed through Burbank Airport as a way to get to and from the Glendale interview.

Lifetime Television Features Celiac Disease Foundation
Tune in to “The Balancing Act” on Lifetime TV
October 25th at 7:00 am (ET/PT)
6:00 am (CT/MT) on Lifetime Television

Hear Phyllis Kessler, President, Celiac Disease Foundation South Florida Chapter, talk about the efforts the foundation is making to raise awareness of Celiac and provide resources to those who currently suffer from the disease.

“Celiac Disease Foundation has been raising awareness of this vastly under diagnosed disease for over 20 years. Celiac is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world, yet most people don’t even know what it is.  The Balancing Act is a great opportunity to educate viewers about this disease and make them aware of the resources and guidance that CDF provides.”

Over the years, CDF has built a community of patients, families, and healthcare professionals whose combined efforts have helped improve the quality of life for people with Celiac Disease.  They have also tirelessly promoted early detection of the disease, which can drastically lower the chances of more severe consequences like osteoporosis, anemia and infertility.

“Having Phyllis Kessler from the Celiac Disease Foundation on ‘The Balancing Act’ has brought yet another great solution to women, one that will have a real impact, and help them balance their lives.  This is the essence of solutions-based programming, and we are proud that we could bring this information to our viewers” says Doug Campbell, Founder and Executive VP of Programming for The Balancing Act.

The returns on covered calls

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Born To Sell. All opinions are 100% mine.

The world of stocks and stock exchange has made a much larger view of the business world. Only professionals who are into the business of selling or trading stocks have the ability to understand the whole concept or so it may seem but every individual with a certain degree of intelligence can actually capitalize a system in the trading business known as cover calls. It is by far an effective investment strategy ready to earn you 1%/month income which is much better than taking a risk on highly rated bonds or pinning your hopes on cash that you can earn.

Since the world of stocks can get really complicated just by understanding the terms on it the strategy of covered calls can be broken down into simple terms. The first part is buying the stocks or the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). Stocks which can purposely be used for covered calls. Second would be to write down a call option against that particular stock. Last but not the least is to wait until the option expires. This seems like a mouthful for you to take fortunately there is the internet to further break it down to layman’s terms about the world of covered calls and how you can partake of this offer.
Borntosell.com covers everything on covered calls and how you can capitalize on this investment strategy. Everything is tackled from ground up and information is abundant from their free covered call newsletter to their free covered call tutorial and free covered call blog. If ever you are into the world of stocks and you are trying to come up with a winning formula don’t look further try borntosell.com’s strategy on covered calls and invest your way through success and revenues that can also be tested into a free trial through their subscription service at a 2 week no obligation option.

Anna Chapman

Apart from being charge of sharing delicate U.S. information to a Russian government official, Anna Chapman is also a professional holding a masters degree in economics and having an online real estate business to deal with. Anna Chapman is accused of being a Russian spy maybe cultivated by the fact that she is an ardent follower of spy movies as claimed by his ex husband. This 28 year old Russian native is also called the Lady in Red, claiming that she holds the distinction of being the face of the Russian spy ring even though evidences claim otherwise of her having a small part on the organization. After being charge on June 28, 2010, Chapman pleaded guilty to the charges and was deported back to Russia in exchange for four accused spies. According to the plea agreement Chapman cannot make a profit out of her life story and in case she does proceed with this action the revenues garnered from it will be given to the U.S. government. Along with Chapman four middle-aged couples are also charged for conspiring with her for sharing U.S. secrets through high tech devices.
