5 Questions With ... Eric Church
Country singer/songwriter Eric Church was the recent guest for an installment of The Recording Academy's 5 Questions With … series. Held at The Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., Church discussed topics such as songwriting, the significance of Recording Academy membership, music education, advice for young musicians, and his latest album, Chief, and the album's No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200.
"It was insane," said Church on Chief's debut atop the Billboard 200. "Everybody has expectations, but it far exceeded any expectations I had. It really restored my faith in the power of the people [and] in making records and it being about music. People believed enough in the record [and] that week they became the ambassadors for it."
Hailing from Granite Falls, N.C., Church began writing songs and taught himself how to play guitar at age 13. While in college at Appalachian State University, Church formed a band, the Mountain Boys, and upon graduation moved to Nashville where he landed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Tree, subsequently writing songs for other artists, including Terri Clark's "The World Needs A Drink," which he co-wrote with Casey Beathard. Church eventually met producer Jay Joyce and the two started recording demos, landing Church a record deal with Capitol Records Nashville. Church's debut album, 2006's Sinners Like Me, cracked the Top 30 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 7 on Billboard's Country Albums chart. Carolina followed in 2009, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 and spawning the gold-certified singles "Love Your Love The Most" and "Smoke A Little Smoke." In April Church was honored as the Top New Solo Vocalist of the Year at the 46th annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Released in July, Chief debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Country Albums charts, marking the first time a traditional country artist has garnered a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 without having a previous No. 1 hit single since Tim McGraw's 1994 album Not A Moment Too Soon. Church is currently on tour throughout the United States.

One of the network news programs has a regular feature called "The Fleecing of America," in which they investigate ways in which your federal government wastes millions — sometimes billions — of tax dollars on projects that benefit either no one or only a few select members of the U.S. populace. This "fleecing" occurs on a regular basis in the form of localized pork projects, obscure grants and other creative methods of distributing your contributions to the U.S. Treasury.
But rest assured, the federal government has nothing on state legislatures when it comes to wasting money. Have you taken a look lately at what is going on in your own statehouse?
In Alabama, for instance, lawmakers have spent their time and your money — if you're a citizen of the Yellowhammer State — debating such issues as the official state insect. Shall it be the Monarch butterfly or the honeybee?
And, though there already is a law forbidding gay marriage in the state, legislators spent a great deal of time and expense passing a constitutional amendment to the same effect. Of course, much grandstanding and moral posturing accompanied the introduction and passage of this particular piece of legislation. And it's helpful to note here that this is the same outdated state constitution that scores of governors and legislators have refused to re-write, although it contains blatantly segregationist language.
All of this "law making," by the way, is occurring while teachers in Alabama continue to use their own money to buy school supplies, and while large, out-of-state timber barons continue to pay the lowest property taxes in the nation.
Not to be outdone, just across the river in Georgia, members of that state's General Assembly are taking on the twin issues of marriage and divorce. Lawmakers there are moving forward with a bill that extends the waiting time for an uncontested no-fault divorce from 30 days to 120 days for a couple with no children or grown children, and to 180 days for a couple with minor children. The pending bill also would require divorcing parents to enroll in classes that explain the repercussion of separation or divorce on kids.
Yes, it is well intentioned. But is such social engineering now the province of state legislatures? It isn't surprising, of course, considering the current political climate. But it does seem inappropriate that such legislation should be a priority when schools are failing, roads are gridlocked, and rural economies are struggling.
But these issues take a back seat to another burning issue in Georgia, that of "noodling." If you've never heard of noodling, you're certainly not alone. Rep. Pete Warren (D-Augusta) had to explain his bill — which would legalize noodling in Georgia — to several members of the state's house of representatives.
Noodling, as defined by the bill's sponsor, is the art of wrestling a catfish out of its hiding place, with your bare hands. It's also called grabbling, hand fishing or hogging, and it's currently illegal in Georgia.
Warren's bill actually amends a law that allows freshwater fish to be taken only with a pole, rod-and-reel or trotline. Noodling already is legal in 12 states, including neighboring Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina.
Explaining the practice to a colleague, Warren was quoted as saying, "You know, it's what we would do when we were young'uns. We'd reach up in the creek bank and pull that catfish out."
Noodling is a cultural thing, according to Wiley Prewitt of Oxford, Miss, and it's apparently handed down from generation to generation. He has studied hunting and fishing traditions and is a consultant to the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi.
"It seems to be that you get introduced to it through your family," says Pewitt. "It's not the first thing you would think about, to get in the water and grab a fish with your bare hands."
But it's evidently being thought about in the halls of the Georgia state capitol, along with many other issues that'll have no impact whatsoever on your quality of life.

We hate Copperplate. To us, two humble Graphic Designers in the heart of Texas, it's become one of the most overused and incorrectly used fonts in America. Don't believe us? We're willing to bet that there are at least two items in your house at this very moment that use Copperplate. They are likely food items.
Our mission is to document Copperplate's virus-like domination of the typography world. The photos here include true Copperplate examples, as well as mutant offshoots that are the result of mentally ill desktop publishers.
Most of the posts here are captured in the moment on our mobile phones, hence the "iffy" quality of some pictures. Photo dumps usually occur when we've been using a real camera, so we have to post later; all the photos will then get dumped into one m-m-m-mega post.
Copperplate is EVERYWHERE. See for yourself!

pdf annotator/organizer
9 comments:
On a Mac, Papers is a very nice PDF organizer and notetaker/annotator (it just added the ability to annotate PDFs in an update). I like having the ability to take a continuous stream of notes alongside the PDF *and* annotate.
It's got a very promising reference manager feature that's much easier to use than the other ones I've used on mac (bookends, endnote)—but that feature is new and still too limited for real use (e.g., as of right now it can't scan and format citations entered in footnotes!).
- December 16, 2011 at 10:44 AM
I use Sente (mac only) and generally really like it...but I wouldn't recommend it for one reason--it can't search within pdfs. If they added that feature, it would be great.
- December 16, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I use PDF expert on my iPad, in conjunction with the note taking app Notability. Most of my papers and things I'm reading are stored on my iPad as well as my CPU but I find myself using the iPad for reading.
- December 16, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I use iAnnotate and Goodreader; I prefer Goodreader.
I haven't found an "iTunes for PDFs" that I like more than Sente, but Sente is very expensive. Mendeley is free, but its bibliographic "auto-lookup" function is terrible compared to that of Sente. Does Papers's auto-lookup work as well or better than Sente's? And I'd be interested in hearing more about how Sente's non-free reader for the iPad works.
- December 16, 2011 at 11:50 AM
I love index cards!
- December 16, 2011 at 4:15 PM
- readingandphilosophy said...
Just went to party where a professor started to talk about the importance of using index cards! Oh boy what a party.......
- December 17, 2011 at 2:20 AM
If you use a Mac, Papers is by far the best. It even has a built-in annotation system that interfaces with Bibtex and it can import and format citations in pretty much any WYSYWIG program.
- December 18, 2011 at 6:36 AM
does anyone use a PC anymore? what about for us
- December 18, 2011 at 10:09 PM
I suggest to give a try to FingerPDF from CampaSoft (Mac only). It is still in Beta

20 Custom 4x4 Trucks - 20 Homebuilt Super TrucksPosted in Features on February 1, 2005
Each and every week we sit down with our trusty envelope openers and sift through the mountains of snail-mail that pile up high on our desks. We see everything from formal invitations to check out new widgets, to official notices from companies who claim they can solve all our problems with a little green pill. We wish life were that simple-if a mystery pill could somehow resolve our issues, we'd probably swallow one each week before we have to sift through the stack of Readers' Rigs we receive. But nothing in life is simple, and sifting through the weekly deluge of Readers' Rigs submissions is no exception. So we labor our fingers, looking carefully at each photo and critiquing every vehicle to determine which ones work best for Four Wheeler. It's probably the least enjoyable task our staff of editors has to endure. Nobody likes to decide which rigs are more worthy of inclusion, so we decided to give a little more back this time, and along with the usual stats and specifications, we'll explain why we picked each rig, in hopes that you the readers will understand what makes a good Readers' Rig.
Ken Desjardins of Meridien, Connecticut is the proud owner of this '87 Chevy K5 Blazer. This photo makes a great Readers' Rigs selection because it shows that Ken has no problem getting technical with his truck while out on the trail. A balanced Chevy TPI small-block V-8 sends power to an SM465 transmission, then on to an NP205 transfer case with a twin-stick conversion. Both driveshafts were built by High Angle Driveline. A stout Dana 60 front axle is equipped with stainless Mile Marker hubs, and the rear 14-bolt axle features a Detroit Locker and disc brakes. Both pumpkins house 4.88:1 gearing, which Ken says works well with the 42-inch Super Swampers. For steering, Ken added a PSC hydraulic-assist ram setup along with an Off Road Designs high-steer crossover steering linkage kit. Additional mods include a York air compressor, custom front and rear bumpers, 9 inches of lift and a set of Bushwacker cut-out-style fender flares.
Alan Cavendish of Tenino, Washington sent in a picture of his '70 Toyota Land Cruiser back in May 2000. Somehow, we've managed to miss it until now. Chances are Alan has made significant changes to the vehicle since he submitted it, but we're sure he'll be happy nonetheless to see the old 'Cruiser get some ink. Under the hood is a stock I-6 connected to a stock three-speed manual transmission. The axles also remain stock, turning 33-inch Goodyear Wranglers. This is an example of a decent action shot. With mud flying and tires turning, this is the type of photo we like to see.
John Howard of Manassas, Virginia picked the right picture of his '02 Tacoma XtraCab 4x4 at the beach for use as a Readers' Rigs submission photo. We love pictures like this that feature unique settings and/or beautiful scenery. John's Toy features a 3-inch suspension lift and a 2-inch body lift. It has 305/70-16 Dunlop Mud Rovers on Mickey Thompson Classic IIs. For performance, John added a K&N FIPK Gen II intake system as well as a Gibson after-cat exhaust.
This '84 Ford Bronco belongs to Kenny Clark of Westmoreland, Tennessee. Kenny says he takes this 351-powered beast out each and every weekend, as long as it's not in need of repair. A trusty set of 33x12.50 BFG Mud-Terrains helps Kenny find traction in the deepest mud holes. Otherwise the truck is stock. Notice how this picture establishes the setting of Kenny's favorite wheeling spot. We like to see what readers do with their trucks; photos like this make it easy.
This '70 Chevy C20 truck belongs to Shawn Mander of Evans, Colorado. It was originally two-wheel drive that has since been converted to four-wheel drive. Though always in some state of revision, the configuration right now looks pretty stout. Under the hood sits a '95 Chevy LT1 complete with headers, a Flowmaster exhaust and a K&N air filter. Next is a Turbo 400 with a shift kit and other internal mods for strength. The transfer case is an NP241 out of a '90 Blazer. For axles, Shawn set up the rear Dana 60 with a Powr-Lok and 4.56:1 gears. The front is an '87 GM 10-bolt 3/4-ton unit with a Truetrac and 4.56:1s. The front springs are 4-inch Pro Comps on custom mounts for 6 inches of lift. The rear springs are '02 F-250 Super-Duty units with a shackle flip kit and a pair of 3-inch blocks. Additionally, the truck features custom bumpers, rock sliders, and 37-inch SSR radials on 16.5/9.75 wheels. This picture is a classic example of what we like to see in a Readers' Rigs photo. It's well lit, in a natural setting, and the truck is clearly visible.
Eric Hoffman resides in Michigan, not far from the Silver Lakes Sand Dunes OHV area, which is likely the reason he built this 4x4 dune buggy. We picked his rig because everyone likes high-flying action shots like this one. The buggy features a Chevy 454 mated to a Turbo 350 transmission and a NP205 transfer case. The front axle is a '91 Chevy pickup front IFS assembly, and the rear consists of a '78 12-bolt. To move this beast, Eric added some 28-inch Hooker Scoop paddle tires in the rear and a pair of 14.5-inch street paddles up front. One unlikely mod that sets Eric's creation apart from other sand machines is the leather seats from an '01 GMC Jimmy.
Bruce Owens credits his friend Mike for building this clean '73 Chevy truck. Bruce bought the truck from Mike some time ago and hasn't had to change much. He did, however, add a rollbar for safety reasons. Underneath the bright yellow paint resides a healthy 454ci big-block bored 0.030 over. Torque is fed to an SM465 transmission and a NP205 transfer case. To ensure traction, a 3/4-ton Dana 44 front axle features a Powr-Lok limited-slip differential. Out back, a Corporate 14-bolt axle is equipped with a Detroit Locker. The 35-inch BFG Mud-Terrains are mounted to chromed steel wheels.
Will Coburn is stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. Whenever he has time to play, he takes his '99 Jeep Wrangler out to the surrounding desert. With a 3-inch BDS suspension system and 33-inch Wrangler MT/Rs on 15-inch Eagle alloy wheels, traction is rarely a problem. Other performance mods include an Airaid air intake system, a Super 35 axle kit from Superior Axle and Gear and a Detroit Locker in the rear. This photo is good because it shows a challenging section of a trail instead of a suburban driveway.
Rick Potter shows his buddies how to pilot a truck through this mud hole near his home in Louisville, Kentucky. Rick's '84 Toyota features 33-inch TSLs and a 3-inch lift. Other accessories include a custom front bumper with an 8,000-pound Ramsey winch. The rear suspension also includes a custom-built track bar and buggy leaves. Aside from the rear spool, the rest of the drivetrain remains stock. This shot really shows how hard Rick had to push his truck to make it through the mud pit.
This '97 Dodge Ram 1500 belongs to Shane Welker of Buffalo, New York. The idea Shane had for shooting his Readers' Rigs submission in the snow was a good one because snow makes a vehicle stand out. Shane's truck features a 360 V-8 with a Hypertech chip and a K&N intake system. Set up on 35-inch BFG All-Terrains, this Ram is all Shane needs to negotiate the icy roads between home and work.
Don't have the best photography skills? No worries-just do like Brad Houser of Auburn Hills, Michigan did and Photoshop your way to perfection. Brad sent us this picture of his friend Jeremy's Jeep buggy via the Internet. This creation is the handiwork of Campbell Enterprises in Gilbert, Arizona. It has a Corvette LS1 engine, an Atlas II transfer-case, Unimog axles with heavy-duty shafts and four-wheel steering, a flexible coilover suspension with dual-rate springs and nitrogen bumpstops, cutting brakes and an onboard air compressor to power the factory lockers and air up tires. Currently, this tube terror sits on 42-inch Super Swampers mounted to beadlocked wheels.
This '96 Grand Cherokee was flipped while Jeff Pullinger was out wheeling. Like any true enthusiast would, Jeff turned his misfortune into a capable trail machine. First, Jeff grafted on a new roof, then a new driver-side door was installed, and finally he did some slight trimming around the rear until he found the look he wanted. With the bodywork done, Jeff moved down to the stock drivetrain, first installing two new driveshafts from Tom Woods, then a slip-yoke eliminator kit. The stock axles were removed in favor of a pair of Ford 8.8 units with Detroit Lockers and 4.56 gearing. Next, a custom rollcage was fabbed, and a custom soft top was built for the rear. The final pieces of the puzzle were a set of Dunlop 33x12.50 Mud Rovers. We like Readers' Rigs like this, where good old-fashioned ingenuity results in a clean and functional trail machine.
This '99 Jeep Wrangler Sport caught our eye because its owner, Mike Walko of Sedona, Arizona knows how to take a decent picture, and his rig is nicely equipped for the trail. Non-stock equipment includes a 4-inch Rubicon Express suspension lift, a set of 33-inch Goodyear MT/Rs, a Wilderness roof rack, a Jet Performance chip, a K&N intake system and a Gibson stainless steel header followed by a Flowmaster exhaust.
Jennifer Schaub of Pinnacle Hill, New Hampshire sent in this fine photo of her '76 CJ-5 on its first time out since she purchased it in August 2004. Modifications from stock include a power-steering conversion, power-assist front disc brakes, new seats, a set of 31-inch tires and a Ramsey 9500 winch. Jennifer's dad assisted her with the changes that she claims "make it ready for backcountry exploration." We like to see female-owned rigs because girls don't typically get involved in our predominately male motorsport. Way to go, Jennifer!
Bill Tarvin of Clifton Park, New York took a photo we'd refer to as the lucky shot. Black is a very hard color to photograph; consequently very few black vehicles actually run in Readers' Rigs. This one however, is just perfect because the light was just right, and the venue provided a good contrast of colors. Bill's '86 CJ-7 has a 258 I-6 mated to a five-speed manual tranny. A Dana 300 transfer case splits the torque between a pair of Dana axles. The front is a 30 with 4:11 gears and an open carrier. The rear is a 44 with like gears and an ARB. To clear 33-inch MTRs, Bill added a 3-inch Black Diamond suspension lift and a 1-inch Daystar body lift. A tried-and-true Warn 9000 winch is on hand for extraction duty, and a York air-compressor system helps keep tire pressure ready for wherever Bill ventures.
This '89 Cherokee belongs to Dan Montuori of Madison, Connecticut. Dan enjoys wheeling deep in local forests after rainstorms. He claims that his winch, a Ramsey 8000, is all he needs to keep his Jeep from getting terminally stuck. Other mods include a 6-inch Skyjacker suspension lift, Bushwacker fender flares, custom driveshafts from Tom Woods, a DynoMax exhaust system, onboard air, and a Lock-Right locker in the rear. A set of 33-inch BFG All-Terrains provides the traction.
Matt McLaughlin of Beaumont, Texas knows what we're looking for in a Readers' Rig submission. This is the basic formula: Vehicle in the dirt, no shadows, vehicle centered, and a cool list of mods. This '85 CJ-7 sports a stock 258 engine mated to a T-176 tranny followed by a twin-sticked Dana 300 transfer case. Stock Dana axles turn 33-inch Goodyear MT/Rs, and a Full Traction shackle reversal helps smooth out the bumps. Matt also built some homemade bumpers, and rock-skids round it out. Nice work, Matt!
Matt McKeon of Glendale, Arizona built this '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee to tackle mild and moderate trails. We like it because we don't see many Grands on the trail, and this one features a decent list of modifications. For starters, a Rubicon Express 3.5-inch lift clears 31-inch BFG A/T tires. A set of Tomken rock rails helps keep the sheetmetal straight, while a Rusty's Off Road skidplate protects the stock transfer case from bashings. The front axle features a Four X Doctor diff guard and a pair of Skid Row Auto lower control-arm skidplates. For performance, Matt added a Turbo City intake tube and K&N filter. There's also a Turbo City-ported throttle body, Borla header and after-cat system.
Edward Knight of Ann Arbor, Michigan takes special care of his vintage 4x4 Ford F-150. The heart of this beast is a very healthy 460 V-8-equipped with a slew of high-end components that help Edward play out at Silver Lake Sand Dunes on the weekends. The drivetrain consists of a stock automatic, NP205 transfer case, a locked 9-inch rearend and an open Dana 44 front axle. On the street, Edward runs 33-inch BFG All-Terrains on Pro Comp Extreme alloy wheels. In the sand, Edward swaps a set of paddles on to ensure ample traction and maximum fun. Nothing like a photo of a cleanly restored rig that actually gets used on the trail.
Steven Carter says he's owned this '83 Dodge Power Ram for about four years. He enjoys wheeling around his hometown of Sacramento, California. The mostly stock drivetrain consists of a 5.2L V-8 connected to the stock manual transmission and NP205 transfer case. To pump things up just a little, Steven installed a K&N air filter, a Flowmaster 3-inch exhaust system, and two custom-built CV driveshafts. A set of 35-inch BFG A/Ts and Rancho RS 5000 shocks round out the list. In the future, Steven plans to swap in Dana 60s with Detroit Lockers front and rear.

CEO of SELF
You Are In Charge
by Herman Cain
(Click for Amazon book review)
BOOK REVIEW by OnTheIssues.org:
This is not a political book at all, but more of an advice book for success in business and personal life. If Cain were not running for president, this book would be in the "advice" section -- but since he is running, then observing his advice becomes political.
Cain's personal life advice centers around the metaphor that you are the "CEO of SELF, Inc." You have board members -- your family, for example -- but you ultimately have responsibility for decisions about your path, to benefit both yourself and the board members.
Cain's business life advice centers around his "decade goals" -- he recommends that everyone make a similar big-picture plan. He has had decade goals since his teens:
Cain also served as president of the National Restaurant Association -- a position which involved a lot of representative politics. He served as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (a regional branch of the national institution) for two years in the 1990s. He had a radio talk show, and was a frequent political commentator on Fox News, prior to his presidential run. Those, combined with his Senate run in 2004, earned him sufficient credentials to warrant his appearances in the 2011 presidential debates as the only debater who had not held elective office.
Cain wrote this book in 2001. That's years before Cain's presidential aspirations. Cain also ran for Senate in the 2004 GOP primary; hence the book served as a pre-introduction to the voters. Cain closes the book with the rationale for his political career: Upon the birth of his first grandchild, in 1999, Cain's thinking shifted from the usual parent's question "How do we give her a better start in life?" Instead, he considered the larger question, "How do I make this a better world?" He has cited that story in several debates in the 2012 presidential race. Cain cites numerous other aspects of his personal history and business history on the 2012 campaign trail too -- this book provides the original source material in detail.

Offer for Wolfgang lower than bank's lien, records say
A buyer has emerged for the assets and operations of York County-based Wolfgang Candy Co. Inc. with an offer of $1.5 million, but will the deal end up being sweet enough?
Wolfgang filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March after a restructuring process began the previous fall.
Divine Serendipity is an acquisition firm that wants to buy the midstate confectioner's operations and continue to do business under the Wolfgang name, Divine Serendipity's President and CEO William "Wayne" Sellers said.
In fact, the chief executive of the suitor is eyeing a "buying spree" in the candy world by acquiring more firms. But at the same time, Sellers said, he's not going to pay too much for any company.
M&T Bank holds a lien on Wolfgang of more than $4 million, according to recently filed court documents. That leaves a lot of ground between the offer and what the bank is owed.
M&T does not comment on the details of client relationships, spokesman Phil Hosmer said.
Wolfgang's restructuring process had included a planned partnership with another company, according to previous statements. But it said Buffalo, N.Y.-based M&T did not approve the partnership.
Lacking the approval, Wolfgang said it had no choice but to file for bankruptcy protection. The company has not named that potential partner.
Since filing for bankruptcy protection, Wolfgang has been ahead of sales, expense and cash-management expectations as set forth by the court and the firm's leadership, according to a Wolfgang statement about the possible sale.
The company's court filing from earlier this month requests the sale, which would retain operations in North York, according to the company.
Wolfgang is thrilled to have found an interested buyer committed to keeping the business in York County and growing the brand and manufacturing in the community, even though the process has not been the chosen route, Wolfgang President and CEO Benjamin McGlaughlin said.
"It was our goal the whole time to restructure outside of bankruptcy," McGlaughlin said.
He also said the partner lined up before the bankruptcy protection filing was a different entity than Divine Serendipity.
The cash payment of $1.5 million offered by Divine Serendipity would go to Wolfgang's bankruptcy estate and would be distributed to debt holders in order of priority, according to an offer letter made public through the court filing July 6.
Beyond that, the offer specifically excludes assuming liabilities if Divine Serendipity ends up buying substantially all of Wolfgang's assets, according to the filing.
Wolfgang has been a longtime, major player in the fundraising world and had delved into private label production and some retail distribution channels.
It listed 77 hourly and 13 salaried employees in a petition accompanying its bankruptcy filing.
Sellers also is president and CEO of Birmingham, Ala.-based Pasquale Food Systems Inc. He said he acquired the Pasquale Pizza & Pasta restaurant chain, with locations in the Midwest and South, about six years ago.
Divine Serendipity had started negotiations to acquire a different candy firm before the Wolfgang opportunity arose, Sellers said, and those talks continue.
The industry has a lot going for it, he said.
"I don't know anyone who does not like chocolate," he said. "I eat it every day."
In addition, there are great people at Wolfgang, and the product and brand constitute a "sleeping giant" with significant potential to do well on a much wider stage, Sellers said.
The fates of about 100 jobs are on the line as well, he said.
"We like to make money like everybody else, but we also like to make money doing the right thing," Sellers said.
Still, a buyer can't pay too much for a business and not leave adequate capital at the ready, he said.
Going forward, each side has its opinions about what the price should be, and they are working to come to an agreement, Sellers said.

In the buildup to Saturday's league test against Australia, we look at the revival of the Kiwis' troubled wing Krisnan Inu.
In early November last year Krisnan Inu sat down in Brian McClennan's office to plot the season ahead.
Inu had spent half of the previous season, under Ivan Cleary, languishing in the Vulcans before re-emerging late in the season to play a heroic role in the club's unlikely run to the grand final.
It was the ultimate down and up season, both for the club and Inu.
The new Warriors coach told the 25-year-old former Parramatta star that, as far as he was concerned, the slate had been wiped clean.
McClennan laid out what the enigmatic outside back would have to do to avoid suffering a similar fate in 2012. It boiled down to hard work, particularly off the ball.
Inu needed to produce an effort level that matched his teammates. The message appeared to be well received. "Kris is going good," McClennan told the Herald a couple of weeks later at a café across the road from the Auckland Domain, where the happy, supremely confident Warriors were working on their pre-season fitness.
But by the time the team played their first trial match against the Titans at North Harbour Stadium, the ground had shifted.
Playing at fullback, Inu produced his customary flashy touches to wow the enthusiastic crowd of over 10,000.
McClennan, though, wasn't happy. Inu's effort off the ball was terrible. The team ran plays which involved him chiming in at second receiver, but when the ball went through the hands, Inu was nowhere to be seen. The game plan broke down.
Inu was dropped for the next trial against the Rabbitohs at Coffs Harbour, and then left out of the first NRL match against Manly at Eden Park, repeating the cycle of 12 months earlier when he was snubbed by Cleary for the first match against Parramatta. In the end, Inu played just three matches under McClennan, the last of which was a disastrous outing filling in at fullback in Melbourne after Kevin Locke went down with an early injury.
He played just 21 matches for the club over a season and a half. It's doubtful any player has attracted quite as much scrutiny and debate over such a short span.
Inu became a topic of conversation, even for those only mildly interested in the game.
"When I watch Krisnan Inu play I tend to find myself thinking: 'What is going through that bloke's head'?" Herald columnist Richie Barnett wrote.
"He has that rare ability to turn games. But, sadly, the thing that really defines him as a player is his work off the ball - or rather lack of it."
Barnett was mystified by the way Inu consistently managed to disappear every time the Warriors were in a prime attacking position.
Having watched in increasing admiration as he turned his season around following a mid-season switch to Canterbury Bulldogs, Barnett is among the many who have revised their opinion of Inu lately.
A Kiwis selector, Barnett was a party to the decision to select Inu for the Kiwis squad to take on Australia in Townsville on Saturday - a decision that capped a remarkable journey from the obscurity of playing for the Vulcans on the Mt Smart No2 ground to playing in front of more than 80,000 people in the NRL grand final.
"A lot of people were thinking 'what this player needs is a bullet up the arse'," Barnett now recalls.
But what he really needed was a kind arm around his shoulders. Having snared Inu for an initial outlay of just $50,000 for the remainder of the 2012 season, Bulldogs supercoach Des Hasler was the man to give Inu the cuddle he needed.
The gamble paid off massively. Hasler inserted Inu straight into his line-up, and also handed him the goal-kicking duties. Inu responded with nine tries, including some typically freakish efforts, 55 goals and two game-winning field goals - the first of his career.
"I owe it all to the opportunity that Des gave me, having that chance to play regular footy in the NRL," Inu says of his zero to hero transformation.
Inu was a strange study during his time in Auckland. His super relaxed on-field approach was simply an extension of his personality. As an interview subject he resembled a thick-skinned jelly - you could poke and prod him all you like without ever piercing the surface and, no matter what, he always bounce back to the exact same shape.
So the revelation in an interview with the Herald this week that he sees Hasler as "father figure" is downright astounding.
"I'm grateful to be where I am," he says, citing Hasler's "massive show of faith" as the key to unlocking his undoubted ability.
"The way footy works, you get your shot, you play well and you get your chance. When you get those chances you don't want to mess it up, especially under Dessie - he's such a great mentor. I just wanted to do right by him, playing as well as I could week-in, week-out."
Hasler is more famous for fiery door smashing raves than encouraging, quiet words. But that appears to be a carefully crafted public persona. Where the likes of Michael Hagan, McClennan, Cleary and Steve Kearney have all failed to get much out of a player who as a junior was considered more talented than Jarryd Hayne, Hasler has immediately sensed which buttons to push.
"Obviously he's been there and done it all and he knows what he is talking about," Inu says. "He is really footy smart and I'm blessed to be playing under him."
Inu even seems to appreciate the odd Hasler blow up.
"He wants to make his point. Some people are like that and some are real calm about it. That's just the way Des is. If the message gets in your head ... that's the way it is. But he's not always like that, he's real calm, a father figure, especially for myself. People don't see that, what we see at training every day behind closed doors. We're fortunate that we get to see a side of him that others don't."
There was an element of last chance saloon in his switch to Canterbury, Inu readily admits. Had he bombed out of Belmore, it may well have been the end of the line.
"I didn't want to be a person who changed clubs every year. I wanted to find my home and I feel that I've finally found it at Canterbury and I'm grateful for that."
So comfortable is he with his new surroundings there is even a joke about getting over a third grand final defeat in the space of four seasons.
"Well, I've had three chances of doing it so I'm sure I've nailed it now," he says with a laugh.
The key is letting go. There's no point carrying it around with you. That pretty much sums up the Inu philosophy. It might not sit well with most footy coaches, but for those prepared to accept his uniquely relaxed personality and occasional astonishing gaff there is a tremendous upside to be exploited.
In camp ahead of Saturday's test, Inu says he hasn't received any special instructions from Kearney - a coach who has never appeared to have much time for his recalled back.
"Obviously he's just like any other coach, he wants the best out of you," says Inu with a shrug.
That is a riddle only Hasler has so far been able to solve.
Highs and lows
April 2007
Makes first grade debut for Parramatta against the Raiders at the age of 20. Runs for 119m, making two linebreaks as the Eels coast to a 38-6 victory.
April 2007
A shock call-up into Brian McClennan's Kiwis side, Inu makes his test debut at fullback just 13 days after making his first grade debut. The Kiwis are hammered 30-6 and on his return to Parramatta, Inu is sent back down to reserve grade.
June 2007
Returns to the Eels' first grade side for the round eight match against the Roosters, scoring two tries. Holds his place as the Eels' campaign finishes a game short of the grand final with a defeat to Melbourne. Narrowly loses out to Israel Folau in Dally M rookie of the year voting.
March 2008
Injures knee in first game of the season against the Bulldogs, missing the first half of the regular season. Returns in round 12 but the Eels miss the finals, finishing 11th.
May 2009
After the Eels start 2-4 Inu is dropped for the first time. He returns to the line-up in round 10 and plays a key support role as the Jarryd Hayne-inspired Eels make a dramatic late run to claim the last playoff spot.
October 2009
Plays in first grand final as the Eels fall just short of completing the fairytale. Having knocked off the Dragons, Titans and Bulldogs, the Eels go down to the Storm 23-16 in the grand final. The Storm's title is later stripped due to salary cap cheating.
May 2010
The Warriors announce the signing of Inu and Eels teammate Feleti Mateo for the 2011 season. The Eels unravel to finish 12th, and coach Daniel Anderson is sacked.
March 2011
Having failed to impress Ivan Cleary in pre-season training, Inu is left out of the first game of the season, marking the start of a turbulent 18-month stay at the Warriors.
March 2011
Makes Warriors debut on the wing after an injury to Glen Fisiiahi, scoring a try in a defeat by the Tigers. Plays 13 matches in a row, scoring seven tries, but blots copy book by showboating against the Rabbitohs, blowing a try by slowing down and poking his tongue at chasing defenders.
June 2011
Shifts to centre for the trip to Townsville to face the Cowboys. The Warriors are smashed 30-10, with Inu dropped to the Vulcans the following week.
September 2011
After a 10-match absence Inu's banishment finally ends with a recall to face the Dragons. He scores a try in a narrow defeat and two more the following week in a victory over the Cowboys. But that isn't enough to save him from the axe when Manu Vatuvei returns for the opening finals match against the Broncos - which ends in a humiliating 40-10 drubbing.
September 2011
An injury to Joel Moon earns a recall at centre for a sudden death game against the Tigers. After conceding three first half tries the Warriors hit back but still trail with two minutes remaining. A towering bomb drops from the Sydney sky, Inu juggles, regathers and slithers over for a try that will ultimately send him and the Warriors to a second grand final.
October 2011
A second grand final appearance ends in disappointment with the Warriors beaten 24-10 by Manly. Inu's biggest moment comes when he sparks a breakout from his own in-goal area, but he is stripped of the ball in a tackle and Manly score from the resulting possession.
October 2011
Called into the Kiwis as a late replacement but withdraws from the touring party citing personal reasons.
March 2012
He started with a "clean slate" under new Warriors coach Brian McClennan but it's déj vu for the first round re-match with Manly, with Inu left out for rookie Ben Henry. He makes a brief appearance off the bench in round two against the Eels but then doesn't appear again until round seven.
April 2012
The worm appears to have turned again when he makes a try-scoring return in a thumping 44-22 victory over the Rabbitohs. But a week later it all unravels as an early injury to Kevin Locke sees Inu switched to fullback. He has a shocker, the low moment being a loose one-handed carry that turns into the winning try for the Storm. It's his last appearance in a Warriors jersey.
May 2012
After languishing in the Vulcans, Inu is snapped up by the Bulldogs on a 3-year deal, with Warriors paying all but $50,000 of his $325,000 salary for 2012. It turns out to be a great piece of business for the Dogs, with Inu scoring nine tries, kicking 55 goals and two match-winning field goals in 16 matches to help guide his new club to the grand final.
October 2012
A third grand final appearance with a third club in the space of four years ends in defeat, with the Bulldogs strangled 14-4 by the Storm. Two days later Inu's rehabilitation is complete when he is recalled to the Kiwis for Saturday's one-off test against the Kangaroos in Townsville.

A duck, a polar bear and two NFL replacement officials walk into a bar …
If only Monday's Packers-Seahawks had been played on the Monday night of Week 1, the regular NFL officials would have been back the next day, 32 games ago.
You can mess with fans all you want, but once you mess with bookmakers and gamblers, well!
All that was needed after Week 1 was for Las Vegas or any large cooperative of bookmakers to have pulled a big TV market or national primetime game off the board.
Not only would that have scandalized the NFL as scandal relates to widespread conjecture that the integrity of games, preemptively, can't reasonably be guaranteed, it would have hit the NFL right in its bread basket — right in its large-screen HD TV set, right in the TV money that fires the league's pistons.
And gambling on games is the premium juice at the NFL's pumps. Despite the NFL's socially altruistic public positions, gambling is very good for the NFL's TV business. Has been for 40-plus years. Forcing the reduction of those who gamble on games would be very bad for NFL business.
OK, so it took three full weeks of games for the inevitable to occur, for the nation to have seen, at once, the NFL take a colossal fall after slipping on one of its own banana peels. Week 1 or Week 3, it was the inevitability the NFL couldn't wish away.
Plainly put, the replacement officials were bad for business — the gambling business. Those who think they can handicap games — and that's most gamblers — were growing convinced that they could not handicap these games.
The $1,000 per game gambler, paying 10 percent on losses, this week might have chosen to instead risk $100. Or, perish the thought, take the week off. Or wait until the regular officials returned. Without action, NFL primetime audiences would decrease by tens of thousands.
The NFL, never particularly strong on foresight, was lucky it got as far as it did before it finally blew up.
The NFL presumably collects a few hundred thousand dollars in fines a month for flagrant violations of rules. Though we never quite learn where that money goes, why didn't the league throw some toward an officials' pension?
But the NFL, for all its branded glory, has long been in the habit of reactively making things up as it goes along (see: 20-plus years of Instant Replay Rules). Apparently, it believed that it had a chance to get away with this one.
Imagine if the Acme Parachute Co. dismissed all of its experienced makers and packers, replacing them with "some other guys."
For all the PSLs, must-buy exhibition games, invented-for-its-own-network Thursday night games and Roger Goodell's claim that "It's all about the fans," most fans aren't as stupid as leagues would believe. That fans buy into a con — or get out — doesn't mean they don't know they're being had.
The NFL's unsigned reply to the end of Monday night's game — that the correct call was made, TD Seattle! — was a con, although not an unexpected one. The league's statement could have been titled, "Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes."
If the NFL believes its own claim, the settlement with the regular officials that followed should be considered coincidental. Fat chance. But everything attached to sports now includes a shameless con told with a straight face.
As reader Jerry Skurnik writes, after finally clearing NFL Network: "Time Warner Cable wasted no time hyping something it had claimed no one wants."
YES, 'sometimes' Kay talks nonsense on air
YES's Michael Kay continues to find significant baseball talking matter in nonsense, leaving us to wonder if he knows the game or is just out to re-invent it.
On Monday, with Andy Pettitte in trouble in the first, Kay took us on a ride to nowhere: "Now, one thing you worry about with Pettitte … Ivan Nova pitched really poorly his second start off the [disabled list], and sometimes that happens, and this is Andy's second start off the DL. We'll see how Andy does."
For crying out loud, Kay took Nova's irrelevant sample/example of one, applied that to a different pitcher and asked us to think of it as so relevant that we should beware! Then, by adding, "sometimes that happens," Kay took into account that sometimes it doesn't, meaning Kay's "One thing you worry about" wasn't worth the mention, let alone the worry.
Pettitte was replaced after six shutout innings. Now Kay has a sample of two to apply to the next Yankee pitcher's second start off the DL. Sometimes happens! In fact, sometimes happens almost all the time!

In its first season in the newly created Southern Athletic Association (SAA), the Centre College football team earned its first win in the new conference with a 10-7 win over Sewanee-University of the South Saturday, Oct. 6 in Sewanee, Tenn.
The game was a defensive battle from the start. The two offenses combined to gain only 118 yards and six first downs in the first quarter.
Sewanee put a 15-play, 68-yard drive together on its first possession of the second quarter. One second and goal from the three-yard line, Jase Brooks scored to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead.
Centre quarterback Heath Haden (Kingsport, Tenn.) threw his first interception of the season on the Colonels' first play of the ensuing drive, but Sewanee's Curtis Johnson gave the ball back two plays later with a fumble that was recovered on the Sewanee 34-yard line.
Unable to gain a first down, Centre turned to last week's SAA Special Teams' Player of the Week, senior Jordan Gay (Danville, Ky.) Gay nailed a 42-yard field goal to cut the lead to 7-3.
Sewanee (2-4 overall, 0-1 SAA) drove to the Centre 34 at the end of the first half, but a 51-yard field goal attempt fell short and the two teams went into the locker room with a 7-3 score.
Both teams were held scoreless in the third quarter. Gay tried a 41-yard field goal in the quarter, but it bounced off the right upright.
The Colonels' final drive of the third quarter continued into the fourth quarter. Haden led the offense down the field completing all five of his pass attempts for 64 yards. On first and 10 from the Sewanee 13-yard line, junior running back Harry Meisner found the endzone for his third rushing touchdown of the year and a 10-3 Centre lead.
The defense did the rest as the Colonels limited the Sewanee offense to only 32 yards on 16 plays in the fourth quarter to earn its first conference win of the 2012 season.
Haden finished 12 of 24 for 154 yards. Of those 154 yards, 86 went to senior receiver Jason Osterman (Monroe, Ohio) on five catches.
The Centre defense limited the Tigers to only 215 total offensive yards and tallied six tackles for loss. Freshman defensive back Sam Spees (Dayton, Ohio) led the team with eight tackles, while sophomore defensive lineman Tami Aderoba (Columbia, Tenn.) had six tackles, including two tackles for loss.
The Colonels, now 4-2 overall and 1-1 in the SAA, will take next week off and then return to action Saturday, Oct. 20 against Trinity University (Texas). The game will be played as part of Centre's Homecoming Weekend and is set to start at 2:30 p.m. at Farris Stadium in Danville, Ky.

EEG Visualising Pendant shown with 3D printed frames
I developed my EEG visualising pendant for use in social situations. The pendant uses EEG (Electroencephalography) signals, which are gleaned from a NeuroSky MindWave Mobile headset. The MindWave is a standalone headset device that detects electrical signals from the brain, which are accessed via a single electrode on a protruding arm from the headband. The electrode makes contact via the wearer's forehead at the pre-frontal cortex area, where higher thinking states are dominant. The pendant displays attention / concentration data as red LEDs (light emitting diodes) beside meditation / relaxation data in green LEDs on an LED matrix. The pendant has live, record and playback functions, which give the user the choice of displaying live EEG visualisations or recording and playing up to four minutes of previous brainwave data visualisations on a loop if they're feeling mischievous or want to appear to be concentrating / paying attention or relaxed, what I call 'emotive engineering', or just want to use the pendant as an aesthetic piece of jewellery without the EEG headset.
Image shows the pendant in action, plus selection options for pendant modes: live, record or playback.
I created this video to show the EEG Pendant working with the MindWave Mobile headset, I've added some crowd atmos to simulate being in a networking situation. You can see on the pendant my attention (red) and medidation (green) levels changing.
My motivation for developing this piece of wearable technology is that in certain spaces and situations we feel more awkward and vulnerable than in others. These situations include conferences and networking events, which put us in social situations where we might be alone or do not know other people very well and also in social areas such as bars and parties. All are situations where people often assume it's okay to come into someone's space and talk to them, which depending on how someone is feeling might make them uncomfortable. As well as asking personal questions, some conversations can go on for too long and it's not usually socially acceptable to interrupt a person speaking mid-flow, then walk away – so how can we best let people know when we feel uncomfortable? As not everyone is adept at recognising or interpreting correctly the emotional signals of the person they are currently interacting with via body language alone, I developed the EEG visualising pendant as a means to go some way to bridge that gap by creating a piece of wearable technology that visualises the wearer's concentration / meditation levels to signal when the wearer is attentive and interested or drifting away from the conversation. The pendant can also display when the wearer is more relaxed or unfocused (possibly when tired too) – in this state the LEDs display more green LEDs.
I am also interested in how we can manipulate social situations and how others see us by controlling our physiological data, either by using the record and playback functions, or by practicing how to control one's own physiological data, in the case of EEG by, for example, reading, counting backwards, doing times-tables (attention) or defocusing / zoning out (meditation).
Here I am showing my EEG Visualising Pendant at the International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) in Zurich, September 2013.
Development of hardware and software of the EEG Pendant
The LED (Light Emitting Diode) matrix form factor I chose for the pendant makes it small and versatile. Its 3 x 3 centimetre size in allows it to be transferable to various outfits and worn in different ways, for example, as a pendant, brooch or badge clipped to a jacket, shirt or tie. The EEG data is visualised in three distinct styles, each being a proportional representation of the signal in real time.
My first action on purchasing an MindWave Mobile back in autumn 2012, was to ascertain how one could use the MindWave Mobile outside its intentional usage, which is to communicate with iOS and Android devices. I'd already found some information on the developer area of the NeuroSky website suggesting there were various other devices and applications that could work with the MindWave Mobile, such as Arduino microcontrollers, but at the time it didn't have enought information, so I hunted around online for clues and began to piece together an idea of how to go about communicating with the MindWave.
The pendant's first circuit prototype consisted of an Arduino Uno microcontroller connected via breadboard to a Bluetooth dongle and an LED bar-graph. At this stage the prototype was only visualising one aspect of the EEG data at a time, i.e. attention or meditation data.
I decided that for using the pendant both the attention and meditation data really needed to be shown next to each other, so I swapped the LED bar-graph for a square, single colour LED matrix. This gave a better display of how the EEG levels compared, but I felt these levels needed to be shown to be distinctive from each other, so the green LED matrix was exchanged for a bi-colour LED matrix and C code updated to display the attention data levels as red rectangles and meditation levels as green rectangles. The rectangles were split over two halves of the square matrix and enlarged and contracted in accordance with the data from the MindWave Mobile headset.
Development of the pendant's data visualisation could have concluded at this point, but it is important to consider the design and aesthetic nature of a piece of wearable technology, from both the wearer's and of the viewer's point of view. Also, it is important to consider how to make most of the data in terms of creating an innovative and unique piece of wearable technology. Exploring how the EEG data can be creatively portrayed is a crucial part of the software and hardware evolution of the pendant. So bearing this in mind, I updated the code to add circular and diagonal data visualisations of red / attention and green / meditation. This was originally reflected as lines on the LED matrix, but later as filled shapes with overlaps shown as yellow, which in my opinion, is overall more pleasing to the eye of the viewer.
For transferring the prototype to stripboard, my first attempt used an ATtiny85 microcontroller, which looked like a good fit for the circuit and as the name suggests it's very small high-performance, low-power Atmel 8-bit microcontroller. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to use the ATtiny85 for this project as the LED matrix graphics libraries and the code for the cycle of three data visualising styles meant that it added up to too much code for the 8k Flash memory of the ATtiny85. Instead, I used a low cost Shrimp microcontroller kit that was designed specifically for breadboard / stripboard prototyping and comes as a bag of loose components which makes it fairly flexible in terms of putting together. The Shrimp is based on the Arduino Uno and includes the same Atmel 328-PU microcontroller chip at its heart, so there was not a problem uploading the code and libraries from the breadboard and Arduino Uno circuit. The next step was to test the circuit with appropriate batteries to ensure it could be powered as a stand-alone piece of wearable technology, three AAA batteries sufficed to run the circuit and all its components. I considered using two coin cell batteries in parallel, but decided I preferred a rechargeable AAA option.
The EEG Visualising Pendant on show at the Design Exhibition of the International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) 2013, Zurich.
Having tested the circuit, the schematic was then drawn out out to ensure the circuit and its components could be neatly fitted onto stripboard. An appropriate size of stripboard was cut, tracks that needed to be cut to prevent short circuits were dug out and the components laid out for the circuit and then soldered. This is quite a time consuming business, but I enjoy building circuits.
The pendant was then ready to be attached to a necklace via small metal hoop links, spaced well enough away from any circuitry not to cause any short circuits. The LED matrix / pendant was attached to the main circuit board via detachable male / female jumper wires so for ease of putting on and also so it could be detached from the necklace and worn as a brooch. During usage, the stripboard circuit can be housed in a small bespoke box to protect it and keep it insulated, so it can then be tucked into a pocket.
The key technical challenge laid around communications with the headset, as it is a proprietary device, designed primarily to use with downloaded apps and games. The MindWave Mobile headset communicates with Bluetooth enabled devices that have the MindWave Mobile software installed but does not come with a Bluetooth dongle to communicate with other hardware for development purposes, as does with the NeuroSky research package. So once I was able to get the Bluetooth dongle to pair with the MindWave Mobile, my next task was to have code that then checks for packet strength and quality.
In terms of aesthetic design, the LED matrix was chosen because of its small pendant-like size and shape. It is also very light, so will not weigh heavily on the neck or on the body if worn as a pendant or a brooch. Aesthetics for wearable technology need to be carefully considered if we expect people to wear these devices, so we should ensure that we design them to look elegant and enjoyable to wear. In the past wearable technology has been clunky, heavy and often not very pleasing to the eye or designed with the wearer's individual needs in mind. Plus we should take into consideration the different groups of people who might wear our devices and the individual preferences of each group. Demographics such as age, gender and lifestyle should be accounted for and user testing on designs carried out.
The NeuroSky MindWave Mobile is a useful low-cost EEG headset, however only having the one electrode on the product can make finding a signal a little cumbersome, though in return we get a comparatively discreet headset compared to others and do not need to use a gel to establish conductivity from the head to the electrode.
Using a Shrimp kit for the microcontroller circuit made for a smaller and less bulky circuit, plus brought the price of the project down. Although this means a little extra time needed to be spent putting the circuits together, soldering and testing to look for short circuits and any mistakes in the layout of components. As mentioned in the project development, the ATtiny85 was an ambitious approach to making the circuit smaller and easier to wear, but was not appropriate due to not enough memory being available for the code and libraries to drive the circuit and LED matrix.
Future Work
The EEG visualising pendant will progress as a project by testing and developing new ways of visualising EEG data that appeal to the user. The presentation of the pendant will be developed in terms of user profiles, for example, how could the matrix be housed and embellished to suit different demographics of users, plus looking at styles for male and female users.
In terms of the hardware, there are possible improvements that can be made to the configuration of the circuit to make the circuit board smaller and more compact. Smaller and lighter batteries would considerably lessen the weight and the bulkiness of the circuit board. As EEG technology progresses it may not be long before the headset form factor may be done away with altogether as smaller and less obvious ways of wearing the EEG electrode and transmitting the data are developed and favoured.

CANBERRA, Australia, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A 20-year-old Brazilian woman received a high bid of $780,000, auctioning off her virginity for an Australian filmmaker's project.
Justin Sisley, whose VirginsWanted.com.au auction site is part of his documentary project, said Catarina Migliorini, 20, received a high bid of $780,000 from a Japanese man identified by the name Natsu, ABC News/Univision reported Friday.
Sisley said Alexander Stepanov, 21, a male virgin offered on the auction site, received a high bid of $3,000 from a Brazilian woman identified as Nene B.
Sisley said he was skeptical of Migliorini's statements saying she was planning to donate 90 percent of her money to charities building housing for the poor in Brazil.
"I was surprised she said that because in all my dealings with her, she made it clear that it was a business decision for her," he said. "Now, given how big this story is in Brazil, she's trapped. If she doesn't give any money to charity, she's going to look bad."
The website said the sexual encounters will take place on planes flying over international waters to avoid violating any local laws.
Sisley's website said Migliorini will be examined by a gynecologist and Natsu will be presented with documentation verifying her virginity. Stepanov cannot be medically proven to be a virgin, but will present Nene B. with statutory declarations from two family members.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Westminster is a celebration of purebred dogs, actually every dog. Even though there is only one Best In Show (BIS), this year Ch Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot, better known as Sadie the Scotty, each of the more than 2,500 dogs participating is already a champion. The canine contenders are all winners; as are the millions of couch potato pets lounging alongside their humans to watch the show on USA Network. For 134 years, Westminster has spotlighted the world's love affair with dogs.
I can't help but notice that the image of Sensation, Westminster's emblematic Pointer, is everywhere: atop each catalogue, on Madison Square Garden's ceiling TV monitors, even embossed on the brass posts that hold the ropes defining the show rings. Alas, after three years of sleuthing, I remain only about 95 percent certain of the spot in Babylon where the great Pointer was buried in 1887.
Yet, I am extremely fortunate. Westminster is my "die and go to dog heaven" time of year. I get to mingle with the top dogs and their escorts. I even sit on the Garden floor at the press table next to the chute where the dogs run out to meet millions of fans. After Best In Show, the "puparazzi" goes back to the press room. I was inches from Sadie though my amateur photos are dark and awful.
Sadie has won an American triple - the National Dog Show, the AKC/ Eukanuba and the most prestigious- Westminster Kennel Club. She is the eighth Scottish Terrier to triumph at Westminster. After winning, her handlers panicked when they couldn't find the whale leather leash passed down through the generations. It belonged to Sadie's great grandfather Bingo who won BIS at the Garden in 1967. Her breeder told me that fouryear old Sadie would be retiring from the ring to start a family. A rendezvous with a handsome "mail order husband" from Sweden's Kennel Raglan is planned.
There were other magical moments. Anna Stromberg won the Breed with Nacira, an Afghan Hound from Chile. The next evening Nacira flew to Sweden to continue her career. Last year, Anna won the Breed with her Whippet Glory, but actually she is more of an Afghan Hound goddess plus a great friend to our breed rescue. In fact, five years ago Anna rescued my Beauty Queen who bears a striking resemblance to Nacira, so this win was particularly thrilling.
This year after the Whippet Chanel won the Hound Group, the media was reminded of Vivi, the Westminster Whippet lost forever by Delta at JFK in 2006. Chanel is brindle & white like Vivi. They share a grandfather and both hail from southern California. Chanel's breeder told me that this Whippet came to NYC via a private charter and that her owners would never fly a dog on Delta.
The Metropolitan Dog Club hosted a dinner at the Affinia on Monday evening. I had the privilege of sitting with the Bishops who own Rufus, the colored Bull Terrier who won BIS at Westminster in 2006. During the weekend Rufus came to the same hotel along with Uno, Stump and JR, three more Westminster BIS emeriti for a benefit to support Angel on a Leash, Westminster's pet therapy program that visits gravely ill children at Columbia Presbyterian, Sloan and other hospitals. I considered it an honor to send my tenderloin doggy bag to Rufus. I wasn't going home; still please don't tell my dogs. They will never forgive me.
The minute the show is over, the newly crowned canine's name becomes a household word. Sadie appeared on the morning shows, held another press conference at the Empire State Building and rang the opening bell at the NY Stock Exchange Thursday. Sadly, the six remaining finalists are quickly forgotten.
Marty van Duyne, a photo journalist whose pictures are a zillion times better than mine, and I were leaving the Garden Tuesday around midnight after Sadie left for one of her many all night parties. I spied a familiar face in a polka dotted coat venturing onto Seventh Avenue. There was no "puparazzi" or flash bulbs going off in her face. She was just going home to North Carolina. She didn't know about the hoopla nearby or that she was about to be retired and have pups too.
It was CJ (short for "Calamity Jane") the fabulous Doberman also known as Ch Allure Blazing Star Alsaton, first to strut her stuff during in Best In Show. She was my pick for most deserving; her romp was disturbed by the PETA intruders. (Don't get me started about PETA; save that for another day.)
I asked if we could take a photo of CJ. Her owners and handler were quite pleased. As the quintessential example of good sportsmanship, CJ stacked herself and posed right there on the sidewalk. You can take the champion out of the ring; but you can never take
the champion out of the
dog. CJ, this photo salutes you and the other 2,500 wonderful Westminster dogs. Not a one came from a pet store.
For Adoption at Town of Oyster Bay Shelter (677- 5784) Miller Place Syosset: The shelter dogs and cats would love to win someone's heart. Last week's photos didn't fit and unfortunately the poster pets are still waiting. "Phoebe" #051 is a loving semi-longhaired tuxedo cat and "Georgie Girl" #009 is a Hound mix pup who will need to continue her training lessons.

2011 Nightboat Poetry Prize Winner
Nightboat Books is delighted to announce the winner of the 8th annual Nightboat Poetry Prize competition: Christina Davis of Cambridge, Massachusetts, whose manuscript An Ethic: a Collection of Poems was selected by Forrest Gander. She will receive the $1,000 prize in addition to the publication of her book by Nightboat Books in April 2013.
The press's editors also selected Monkeys, Minor Planet, Average Star by Gracie Leavitt of Brooklyn, New York, as the runner-up in the competition; her manuscript will be published by Nightboat Books in February 2014.
Christina Davis is the author of Forth A Raven (2006). Her poems have appeared in American Poetry Review, jubilat, Pleiades, Paris Review and other publications. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Oxford University, she is the recipient of the Witter Bynner Award from the Library of Congress, selected by U.S. poet laureate Kay Ryan, and residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, the James Merrill House, and the American Academy in Rome. She currently serves as curator of the Woodberry Poetry Room, Harvard University.
In his citation for the prize, Gander writes, "Here is a book that has flapped up out of the startled dark of a parent's death. Into the moment of recognition of a life apart. A part of life. The syntax, precise and probing, repeatedly extends beyond only apparent completions, beyond easy finalities, into an always unforeseen. As though a living hand were reaching out of the poem and—."
The deadline for the 9th annual Nightboat Books Poetry Prize will October 1, 2012. This year's judge will be Nightboat's co-founder, Kazim Ali.
