What Are Your Beliefs About America Being Ready For Our First Female President?
Lorenzo Crawford, ageless Oxnard, CA “No, I believe over the past several years America views are more conservative than they were prior to Obama’s term. I believe it will be several years down the road before America inaugurates a female president.”

California Consumers May Now File Claims BGCOP Appoints Two New Members to its in Computer Chip Settlement Board of Directors
SAN FRANCISCO Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announced that consumers may now file claims to recover money in a $310 million multistate settlement with major manufacturers of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) computer chips over price fixing allegations. “These companies betrayed the trust of consumers by artificially inflating prices to drive up profits,” Attorney General Harris said. “I encourage California consumers who purchased one of these
products to file a claim immediately.” Consumers who purchased computers, printers, video game consoles or other electronic devices with DRAM memory between 1998 and 2002 are eligible to make a claim before August 1, 2014 and could receive money from the settlement. To file a claim, visit www.DRAMclaims.com or call 1-800-589-1425. After completing an investigation in 2006, California, with other states, filed antitrust suits alleging that consumers over-paid
for electronic devices containing DRAM chips for purchases made from 1998 to 2002. DRAM is a common form of memory chip found in computers and other devices. The settlement, reached in conjunction with class actions, pays individuals and businesses that purchased these chips or devices containing these chips in the United States between 1998 and 2002 from someone other than a DRAM manufacturer, such as retailers like Best Buy or Staples. The settlement also requires that
these DRAM manufacturers implement antitrust compliance programs and enjoins them from certain conduct related to the sale of DRAM that would violate antitrust laws.
