For Eastin, it's a personal dream come to fruition. "It may sound crazy to some people, but I think I can be in the NFL some day," she told The Arizona Republic back in 1999. "I told them I would go to referee the NFL in Europe for five years if that's what it takes."
The Arizona native got her start in sports as a competitor. A former world-class athlete in judo, she won six national championships. At age 11, she was youngest judo athlete ever to be accepted to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. She's been a football referee for sixteen years, the last four working for the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference.

Q: What's your favorite Olympic moment of all time?
Summer Sanders: I have two: Mary Lou Retton winning gold in the all-around and seeing her smile after her amazing vault. And when Janet Evans handed the torch to Mohammed Ali at the '96 Games.
Lisa Leslie: When the gymnastics team won gold in 1996--that was pretty great. Dominique Dawes was my favorite, and she was at the top of her career. I also loved watching Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor win gold in Athens. I went to their match and it was an awesome moment.

Remember that there are only so many hours in the day. If you've simply added on each new entertainment technology as it came along-maintaining a generous cable package with DVR, ordering movies from Netflix, streaming shows on Hulu, even buying digital episodes of Top Chef for $2.99 apiece-then you're surely paying for much more than you could ever possibly watch.

Track your family's watching patterns for a month. If you find that you only watch specific shows and only occasionally seek out a movie on a lazy night, you might want to drop down to basic cable or opt out of cable altogether and sign up for Hulu for television shows and Netflix for movies. Do the math and see what makes sense.

#Win Make one in four Tweets about you, not about work.
"Showing your personality creates a connection, which can help turn a follower into a new boss or business associate," says Deb Dib, coauthor of The Twitter Job Search Guide. What's too personal? Sex (duh!), spats, politics and religion (unless you really want the last two as part of your personal brand). And if you've just created an account, post 10 Tweets before following anyone. You'll gain tweeps of your own faster.

We have vacations, graduations, weddings, just to name a few of the reasons. But you don't have to go broke this summer trying to manage all these events and your well deserved down time. Follow these tips to better manage your cash this summer so you won't be broke by fall.
1. Plan Ahead
This tip might not help you this year as much as it will help you next year, but I have to share it. For those of you who read my newsletter regularly, you know I value planning. Events like birthdays, weddings and the like should be well thought out and planned for so you know you have the cash on hand.

Most people think they know the keys to career success: Keep your head down and nose to the grindstone. Avoid personal, emotional, or awkward subjects (in fact, any elephant in the room) at all costs. Well, guess again. Here, experts reveal five on-the-job maxims that are worth challenging.

In my opinion, you should always bring a problem out into the open, even if it's personal, difficult, or awkward. Say you and a colleague have different work styles or have clashed over a project, and as a result there is serious tension between the two of you. Tiptoeing around the issue may cause your productivity to suffer, so it's crucial that you confront your coworker. You can say, "You seem to dispute every point I make, and I don't understand. Did I do something to upset you?" If you talk about it, the situation won't spiral out of control or become a pattern.

What's even more interesting is that top-level recruiters are also looking for people who have switched it up a good bit. That is, ideal candidates have moved around, taken risks and yes, even failed. Moving around includes changing jobs, changing careers, going from corporate to consulting, small business to big companies (and the reverse), moving from one country to another and taking up new hobbies, causes and interests.
Why would such a peripatetic course be so compelling? The answer might come from successful start-ups. About 70% of superior small companies wind up succeeding in businesses that were not in their ori
