US stock markets Down after Credit Rating Drop
US stock markets down 2% about 250 points on opening. The market has reversed to down about 1% about 140 points down within 10 minutes of opening.
The stock market could be below 11, 000 before too long.
The international market pressure is taking a toll on trading in general with most trading markets going down.
What can help reverse this downward trend?
Downgrading of the US credit rating. Now AA vs AAA we are no longer. A sad state considering this is the first time in history.

Did you know that House Republican leader Eric Kantor has his savings in a bear fund which only makes $$$ if the economy tanks??
If you are like me you don’t like having to look around for a hair salon that can make your hair look good. For men this can be a challenge.
The Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank areas are particularly challenging.
There’s a few places that I have tried, but have not been happy with the results.
Here’s some places I plan to try in the future.

Review:
I went and was very pleased. This is surely a step up from the neighborhood $10-12 cut places. You get a consultant that cares about your hair and can hold a conversation. I worked with Val. Your first time there, you get the MVP for $16, which includes shampoo, massage, and style cut. Regular $22, it seems like a good deal at that price. Also, don’t forget your coupons. 1/2 off, $5 to $2 off, also you get some cards for $10 off for first time clients. And fill out the survey and get $3 off your next visit.
Parking is easy and everyone is friendly. And so far I am pleased with my cut.

Social Networks – Facebook Lists vs Google Circle
If you are like me you will dabble and activate your social network site accounts to stay current with the latest in social media, you probably have the standard accounts, facebook, google, myspace, foursquare, yelp, and various others.
The common argument we hear with why Google+ is better than Facebook is because it offers circles. Will the response is that Facebook offers Lists. Which are basically the same thing. Except they way it is presented/displayed.
Here’s what facebook posts on their site:
What are friend lists, and how do I create them?
Friend lists are a way to organize your friends on Facebook and create custom privacy settings. You can also use them to filter the stories you see in News Feed.
To create and edit friend lists, follow these steps:
Go to the Friends page. Click the Account drop-down at the top of any page, and then click on “Edit Friends.”
Click “Create a List” at the top of the page to create a new list. You can also select an existing list on the left side of the page and enter friends’ names to add them.
If you have more than two friend lists, you can also add or remove friends from lists using the menu that appears next to each name on the Friends page.
What does Google say about Google Circle:
Google+ Circles helps you organize everyone according to your real-life social.
What differs is the implementation. I live the circles concept and the ability to drag and drop profiles or assign a profile to a circle. Great way to do this. If Facebook is smart they would implement the same sort if mechanism quickly.
And really get their act together on deals, group social shopping or they will start to see a decline in core users and time being spend on the site.
Like MySpace which also had millions and millions of users they saw how fast users gravitated to another system.
Yet another in the line of the broad way internet services is Tooway, a broad way internet service which reaches in the inaccessible areas too. Where many homes in Britain cannot have access to British Telecom (BT) and cannot benefit from the ADSL connection, there Tooway has appeared as a boon. It can reach every corner of the Britain touching different terrains and that too without any interruption and moreover it does not require any phone line too.
Tooway is considered as the VSAT available services and can be delivered all over Europe by certified distributors who can deliver the people with the broadband connectivity and that too in speed. Tooway is based on KA-band with its frequency rate as twice to that of ku-band, which means much smaller beams and end user terminals and the technologies used are DVB-S2 and VCM technologies.
This gives them better coverage, the best satellite power and better GT on the return link. As the number of satellites is very less in KA-band, there are very few hurdles and so better coverage and the best networking. This KA-band also assists in reducing the service cost and fees. For the people of Britain, Tooway is like a boon as now people living in the remote areas too can use internet to their advantage which they were finding difficult earlier. All the people in Britain who are finding problems in British Telecom naturally are waiting for Tooway to have the internet access on their computers.
