Team Skittles member EVB recently launched a year-long initiative recruiting fans to “Mob the Rainbow,” the latest component in the brand’s digital makeover. [1]

This year, Skittles and its army of Facebook followers schemed up a special surprise for one lucky lady-and she really could’ve used it. [2]

- Using its Facebook fan page with a membership of 3.7 million, Skittles’ “Valentine the Rainbow” lets users create a digital valentine for an unsuspecting, hand-picked meter maid, one of the most hated professions in the country and one that deserves some sweet lovin’. [3]

He then pulls out a bag of Skittles (Taste the Rainbow!) and asks her to be his Valentine! [4]

phoebe prince story

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Your name is not made public and you can still attend school dances and not even be expelled… HOW perfect for you!! [1]

15-year old Phoebe Prince killed herself on January 14 after being bullied in school, on Facebook, and through text messages. [2]

Authorities brought a series of charges Monday against nine teenagers accused of incessantly bullying 15-year-old South Hadley high school student Phoebe Prince for months before she killed herself. [3]

Officials are investigating whether bullying played a role in the apparent suicide of Prince on Jan. 14. [4]

The district attorney did fault South Hadley school officials. [5]

They worry though, that people will think everyone at the school is a bully, and they say most of them are actually good kids. [6]

From everything I’ve read, Phoebe Prince was harassed to death. [4]

Undated family photo of Phoebe Nora Mary Prince, 15, who apparently committed suicide on January 14. [...] Last fall, she moved from Ireland into western Massachusetts, a new town, a new high school, a new country, a new culture. [7]

The state House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly voted to approve an anti-bullying bill, following the deaths of two students in Western Massachusetts - Phoebe Prince of South Hadley and Carl Walker-Hoover of Springfield - that heightened the need for protecting victims. [...] Citing bullying, cyber-bullying and other crimes, prosecutors Monday charged nine teens who they allege pushed a 15-year-old Massachusetts girl so far that she hanged herself two months ago. [3]

She said she hopes the law passed will mandate training that gets educators thinking about changing the school culture that allows bullying and teaches bystanders what to do when they see bullying. [4]

Rosemary Griffin, South Hadley Resident, says: “It’s been going on for years but it’s really come to a head now and its worse than ever. [6]

One girl was interviewed on camera, and she said what was common knowledge: that bullies were stalking the corridors of South Hadley High. [7]

This week “People” magazine did just that, reaching out to the world through print and pictures, and telling Phoebe Prince’s story. [6]

missing money

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The fact that you are at this point in your search; you are way ahead of the average person who believes that he/she is missing money or has an unclaimed property, but has not begun the search or is confused by the misinformation on the net. [1]

Considering the pile of unclaimed funds there is in the U.S. government’s hands (an excess of $35 billion), it’s mind-boggling that only a handful of Americans actually do a missing money search. [2]

Missing money, also referred to as unclaimed funds, are monies such as payroll checks, tax refunds, bank accounts and other monetary sources that are not claimed and have been entrusted to the state government to hold. [3]

The states and provinces listed below currently participate and their records are contained in the MissingMoney.com national database. [4]

The missing money came from an account for a former restitution center operated by the department. [5]

Welcome to the Vermont State Treasurer’s Office Unclaimed Property web site. [6]

Please note: some states and provinces do not currently list all of the unclaimed property in their custody. [4]

Fred Bandack worked hard in helping me search for my unclaimed money and within a month I got back 2 checks from different entities worth hundreds of dollars each! [1]

MissingMoney.com is a database of governmental unclaimed property records. [7]

They also teach you methods on how to find vital personal records like birth and death certificates, how to find money owed to you before it becomes escheat money (before it’s turned-over to the state), and they even have an ebook on how to become a professional unclaimed property finder. [2]

Billions of dollars are currently being held by each state government, and many people are unaware they are able to claim their missing money. [3]

It’s most often in the form of money, but it can also be stocks, mutual funds, and the contents of safe deposit boxes. [6]

I’ve discovered one website where they offer more than just free searches. [2]

Over $35 Billion dollars in cash and property are hidden from millions of people that should have that money at their discretion and not controlled by the government or other entity. [1]

The amount of money paid to Vermonters in fiscal year 2009 was more than $5.6 million to more than 8,789 Vermonters. [6]
