Vitamin Blue Announces Its Sponsorship of Former Professional World Surfing Champion Ian Cairns
COSTA MESA, CA-(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) - Vitamin Blue, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VTMB) announced today that it will be the official board bag sponsor for Ian Cairns. Cairns is a former champion surfer who was also influential in establishing the world professional surfing circuit and specifically the World Championship Tour.

To this day the Association of Surfing Professionals remains the predominant surfing organization and sanctioning body for professional surfers and crowns the ASP World Tour Champion each year.
In recent years Cairns has been an advocate in advancing Standup Paddle Boarding much in the way he was an early proponent and pivotal in the rise of surfing as a competitive sport. He currently is the President of the US SUP Tour and one of the coaches of the US SUP Team.

With 'Weather-Maggedon' behind us, stocks look to 2nd half growth
It should come as no surprise to anyone with the physical ability to sense temperature that the first quarter of 2014 was slow as far as the economy was concerned. When a long cold winter meets a slow-growth economy, activity freezing to a halt is the only reasonable forecast.
The meteorological fact of the horrendous climate is the best explanation for why Wall Street seems to be drawing strength from the ongoing drumbeat of downcast news from corporate America. Barely half of the companies that have reported so far managed to beat famously low-balled revenue forecasts and earnings are little better. Unless there are dramatic beats lurking out there, Q1 2014 will be the first time growth has contracted since 2012.

What’s that fishy smell? The Fed’s corrupt policies
Opinion: Central bank costs savers more than 100 billion dollars a year
Our financial system is so corrupt you might say that a fish rots from the Fed.
How else can one describe a regime that punishes savers and rewards borrowers and speculators for years on end? Our central bank is essentially taking billions of dollars a year from average Americans, who are still struggling to get by in a bombed-out economy, and it is giving it - yes, giving it - to the very banks that helped cause the 2008 financial crisis in the first place.
Richard Barrington, an analyst with Moneyrates.com, estimates the Fed’s policies have cost savers 757.9 billion dollars since the crisis, in an analysis released Tuesday . That’s approaching 1 trillion dollars, which used to be considered a lot of money, even to bankers, before the crisis. The Fed, meanwhile, has only given the world a little assurance that its policies will change at some point in the distant future.
