Octomom Offered Free Blowouts From Hairdresser Amid Welfare Backlash

Brazilian Blowout, the company behind the hairstyling Octomom recently spent hundreds of dollars on while on welfare, is apparently as mortified by her antics as everyone else, and offering to make it right with free blowouts from now on.

The company wants to reimburse Nadya Suleman the entire cost of her recent blowouts - plus other hair treatments - that she spent $520 on.

While under investigation by DCFS for horrific living conditions, natch.

Such reckless spending and inability to earn enough money to take care of her offspring has some wondering if Octomom should lose her kids.

With that in mind, Brazilian Blowout wants to help a girl out.

CEO Mike Brady says, "We want to make sure California taxpayers' money is not going to anything other than taking care of [Nadya Suleman's] kids. We don't want to see those children miss out on anything at the cost of a Brazilian Blowout."

BB also wants to give Octomom free blowouts and cover the cost of a sitter while the mother of 14 is gets primped. They feel so bad about taking her money, they're even offering to fix her toilet, which might allow her kids to drop a D inside.

The stuff of dreams, right there.

Should Octo lose her kids?

If You Want To Make Money Investing, Mull Over Buying Penny Stocks

---

Almost everybody has heard about the stock market?s struggles in the past several years and now the recovery that has taken place. ?But if you are not a professional trader or you do not have your money invested with a money manger, it could be difficult to know how to invest. ?The great thing is that you could do an abundance of research online and learn all about investing. ?Most investing literature could tell you to take greater risks when you are young and to diversify your portfolio in order to cut back your overall risk. ?

Whereas it is very smart to obey most of the time honored investing principles that you could learn about, there are other types of investments that you could want to consider. ?While learning to invest, you could begin with investing in penny stocks and go from there. ?Penny stocks could be fun to buy because they can bring big returns (but also can lose a tremendous deal as well). ?They likely carry greater risk than typical investments, but the rewards can also be much higher.

You may not know what penny stocks are, but they are frequently characterized as stocks that trade under $1 and are not listed on the major stock exchanges. ?Due to the fact that they are not listed on the bigger exchanges, they are also not regulated the same and this is why they are regarded to be much riskier investments. ?

Even though there is risk, you could invest a modest amount of money in these stocks merely to get your feet wet in investing. ?Penny stocks to watch could be found by merely doing a google search and looking through the many sites out there. ?Good luck with your investing if you do decide to?choose some penny stocks to buy.

Talking Public Safety at DAS in Action ? The Inside Story

We had the opportunity to present on the ?Building Codes, Public Safety and DAS? panel during the recent DAS in Action?event produced by our friends at the DAS Forum and PCIA.

Based on the number of questions after the session as well as the discussions we had during the breaks and receptions over the two days we were in Atlanta, it is clear that Public Safety coverage inside buildings is a complicated and?emotionally-charged problem to solve.

Yin & Yang

That point was hammered home in the introductory remarks by the panel?s moderator,?Bob Butchko of Lord & Company Technologies Inc., whose description of a first responder ? weighted down by heavy gear, suffering through the smoke and heat of a building on-fire, and burdened by a communications radio that likely does not work in the building to coordinate with other team members ? served as a poignant wake-up call to this problem.

Each panelist shared a different approach to addressing Public Safety. From attacking it with technology and establishing far-reaching partnerships; to affecting policy and initiating training and?certification?standards.

Overall, solving the Public Safety problem creates confliction? On an emotional level, industry stakeholders want to ensure Public Safety coverage inside buildings. Who wouldn?t?

But business issues ? chiefly financial and legal ? along with implementation issues ? including technology and system management ? get in the way.

Our Take

SOLiD has been advocating the formation of a Coalition consisting of key stakeholders ? Public Safety, Building Owners and the Wireless Industry ? to create a framework to ensure coverage of public safety radio communications indoors.

At DAS in Action, we addressed the four issues and objections above.

• Financial -?The incremental cable and antennae infrastructure costs of covering areas such as stairwells is approximately 10% of the DAS cost. For the benefit of the public and first-responders (who also use smartphones) services should work there anyhow. If WSPs will provide a DAS that facilitates public safety, buildings owners and the public safety community should pay all costs to deploy and manage the signal source and required inspection of the public safety portion of the DAS.

?

• Liability -?There is no known case of litigation against WSPs associated with public safety coverage. That being said, risk management is an individual analysis that happens within the purview of corporate attorneys who have a legitimate goal of reducing corporate risk. People can always file a lawsuit, so this issue can never be completely eliminated. Developing and following industry best-practices is a positive defense against unfounded lawsuits.

?

• Technology -?This is an outdated argument that has been overcome hundreds of times with quality systems deployed by qualified integrators. Many wireless industry experts believe a converged system with proper filtering is the preferred method of eliminating potential RF interference when compared to two systems often managed by two parties

?

• Management -?Buildings owners and the public safety community should handle the management burden of everything associated with the public safety DAS including signal source installation costs, monitoring as required, certification, annual inspection, and system maintenance. Such work should be done by a ?Certified? technician.

?

Want To Get Involved?

We?re in the process of putting together the proposed Coalition which will serve three purposes:

1. Create awareness and educate the market on the problems and solutions
2. Influence policy to ensure Public Safety coverage inside buildings
3. Establish certification standards for integrators installing and managing DAS networks that provide coverage for Public Safety.

?

We could use your help. Please share your ideas and interest below in the comments.

Thanks for reading!
