Can Oil-Eating Mushrooms Clean Up After a Spill?
For more than a decade, mycologist and inventor Paul Stamets has known that mushrooms eat oil. There were still a few kinks to work out; bringing the technology to scale and winning the acceptance of government agencies were two of the most challenging. Yet the basic science was solid and had been replicated many times by other scientists.
Then Stamets heard about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. While his first reaction was horror and regret, he also knew that he might be able to offer practical solutions, while at the same time giving his oil-eating mushrooms a chance to show their stuff.
He wasn't the only one who thought mushrooms might be part of the solution. In the days after the explosion in the Gulf, the EPA contacted him several times to request a proposal. They wanted to understand how mycoremediation—the reduction of toxic compounds into harmless ones by fungi—could work as a component of their cleanup strategy for the spill.
Stamets drafted a three-page proposal and sent it off. Then he ramped up the pace of his research and shifted his focus to finding oil-eating mushrooms that could tolerate the Gulf of Mexico's salt water and powerful sun.
Spokesman for a Kingdom
Stamets is a bit of a rogue scientist. He began his career in the forest as a logger, not as a scientist, and holds no degree higher than a bachelor's from the Evergreen State College. Yet he has published three of the most widely read books on the art of growing and using fungi, founded a unique biotechnology company that now employs 37 people, and appeared in films and on talk shows to praise the talents of the powerful and mysterious fungal kingdom.
In fact, polishing the public image of fungus may be more important for Stamets than any decision to bring mushrooms to the Gulf spill. This is because he sees human partnership with fungi as essential to the broader project of creating a sustainable society. Like most other environmentalists, Stamets believes our society is hurting the earth and that the consequences of this damage will be severe. But he differs from the others in his conviction that fungi are the key to repairing that damage, healing the planet and accepting decay as part of nature as well.
Part of the problem is that most people don't know much about fungi, so Stamets is constantly working to educate them. He talks a lot about the mycelium, the underground network of hairlike cells that constitute the main bodies of mushroom-forming fungi (the mushrooms themselves are merely the reproductive organs). The mycelium is a little-known but fascinating form of life that colonizes the soil and partners with trees and other plants growing nearby. It gathers information about water, nutrients, and pests, and then takes a surprising range of actions. It can move water and nutrients from many meters away to moisten a rotting log or nurture a growing tree. It can remove toxins from water or zap dangerous bacteria that threaten a partner plant. Most trees cannot reach maturity without its assistance.
And, of course, the mycelium eats. Stamets calls fungi the "interface organisms between life and death" because they specialize in breaking indigestible substances down into smaller particles that other living things can use as nutrients. It is this ability to digest complex organic compounds that makes fungi so promising for cleaning up oil.
A Side of Diesel with those Wood Chips, Please
Stamets first tested the fungal appetite for oil in 1997, when he teamed up with researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to provide fungi for several lab-based experiments. The team selected mycelial strains and set them loose on diesel-contaminated soil. At the end of eight weeks, they found that the fungi had removed 97 percent of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)—heavy chemicals within oil that other forms of remediation had consistently failed to break down.
The chance to study this process outside the lab came a year later, when the Washington State Department of Transportation partnered with Stamets and the Battelle Marine Science Laboratory to compare different cleanup methods at a maintenance yard contaminated with diesel fuel. Workers scooped piles of the toxic soil onto tarps, and each pile was inoculated, either with a form of oil-eating bacteria or with Stamets' mix of oyster-mushroom mycelia and wood chips.There were also several control patches of soil.
Again, the results were encouraging. The bacterial patches, Stamets says, remained "dead, dark, and stinky." Same with the control group. Meanwhile, his own patches were teeming with huge oyster mushrooms feasting happily on the diesel compounds. "Analyses showed that more than 95 percent of many of the PAHs … were destroyed," Stamets wrote, "and the mushrooms were also free of any petroleum products."
Because the contamination in the soil patches was very uneven, it was difficult to measure the precise concentration of contaminants both before and after remediation. However, researchers at the Department of Transportation eventually declared the fungi-cleansed soil pure enough to use for landscaping purposes along the highways of Washington. And in the years since, Stamets's findings have been replicated by many other researchers, and further study has shown that various types of fungi are able to partially or fully detoxify oil and pesticides. Geoffrey Gadd of the University of Dundee, Scotland, even found that fungi can break down depleted uranium from anti-tank shells by allowing it to bond with phosphates to form a more stable mineral.
Since the Deepwater Horizon spill in April 2010, Stamets has been testing his oyster mushrooms for tolerance to salt water and sun in preparation for a gig off the coast of Texas or Louisiana. So far, he's managed to isolate a strain that can tolerate the salinity of Puget Sound, which is only slightly less than that of the Gulf. And he's found ways to float the mushrooms cheaply on hemp "mycobooms" filled with straw and mycelia from which the mushrooms can metabolize oil on the surface of the sea.
Stamets says this new research is "very cool and unlikely to have been discovered if it were not for this disaster." He believes it will be used in the near future and has applied for a provisional patent to prevent oil companies from stealing the research. But he says he would be happy to share it for free with affected communities in the Gulf of Mexico.
More Mushrooms, Less Waste
Eating oil turns out to be just one of many practical applications for fungi. Stamets has demonstrated that they offer cheap and sustainable solutions for encouraging the healthy growth of plants, controlling insect pests, filtering farm waste, and creating medicines to treat human diseases.
Several of Stamets' projects take advantage of the symbiotic relationships that exist between fungi and plants. Certain fungi intertwine themselves with the roots of plants, taking nutrients from them while protecting the plants from attack. Fungi can also make a plant hundreds or even thousands of times more efficient at gathering water and minerals from the soil.
Stamets' company, Fungi Perfecti, manufactures an alternative to fertilizers called Mycogrow, which some organic farmers say provides them with huge and healthy crops without creating pollution.
Another product based on the same principle is the LifeBox, a package made from recycled cardboard that contains the seeds of common trees paired with the spores of specific fungi that partner with them in old-growth forests. You use the box for shipping; the recipient tears it up and buries it in the ground. A cobweb-like growth of white mycelia will appear on the surface a few days later. This fungal network "mothers the seed nursery by providing nutrients and water," according to the project's website, "thus protecting the growing trees from disease, drought, and famine."
The LifeBox project will utilize human networks as well as mycelial ones. Just as this article appears in print, a new app will be released for iPhone, Droid, and iPad that allows users to post the exact location and species of their Lifebox grove and see where others have been planted, too. It's a "blending of nature-based and computer-based technologies," Stamets says. "We need to take the best of each."
His company is also developing fungus-based pesticides that kill ants and termites, as well as a technology that allows sacks of mycelia to filter toxins and dangerous bacteria from farm waste. In each case, the "mycotechnology" allows people to do an everyday task, but with a drastically reduced footprint of toxins and wastes. Far from being the poisonous or dirty pests many people think they are, Stamets says, fungi provide some of the cleanest solutions to our environmental problems.
Mycelia Move to the Mainstream
If you find these ideas fascinating, you are not alone. There is a growing community of people who share Stamets' confidence in the ability of fungi to help save the planet. They include organic farmers who use his company's plant-growth enhancements and farm-waste abatement technologies, mushroom growers who attend his sought-after seminars (sold out through November 2010), and parents who use his LifeBoxes and growing kits to teach their kids about fungi.
They also include leaders of media and culture. In 2008, Stamets was named a "Green-O-Vator" by National Geographic Adventure magazine and one of the 50 Visionaries of the Year by Utne Reader. He recently shared a stage with rocker Sting at an event about social change, and he appeared in Leonardo DiCaprio's film The 11th Hour, a documentary about the need for a radical shift in how humans treat the earth.
Does this mean we can expect to see bins of mushrooms breaking down waste in the Gulf sometime soon? For better or worse, that depends on the decisions of the Coast Guard and British Petroleum officials currently in charge of the cleanup. While they might not be ready to recruit the fungal kingdom just yet, Stamets and the workers at his company are hard at work to make sure that the solutions are ready to go as soon as opportunity appears.

Taman Tun's own Ipoh
>> Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Last Friday, 3 colleagues & I had lunch at this Chinese coffee shop in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI). Apparently, the hor fun there is good wor, so we went there to try it out :P (I love it when my colleagues are SO into food like me! :lol:) Furthermore, it's claimed to be the famous Ipoh Chicken Rice in TTDI! ;)
I dare say that the food there is pretty good! Hmm..can give it a 7.5/10 for now...keke. The chicken is nicely done & I like the gravy that comes with the chicken. The tauge is also the authentic Ipoh kind!! Fat & short!! *yums* They had the prawn dumplings, which is pretty good as well...hmm...I think it's better than the one in Subang that I recently had :D
Here are some pics that I took:
"White" chicken
Prawn dumpling in 'choy sum' soup
Price list
Check it out for yourselves someday!
p/s: It's opposite the TTDI wet market.

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~
I took this photo and uploaded it on Sunday evening and created a Yarn Along post, scheduling it for Wednesday because part of hurricane preparation is creating a Yarn Along post! Of course, we never lost power and my efforts didn't end up being necessary. This week (and in the coming weeks I suspect) I am working on a knitting project for a friend, and Beatrix's Bulle. I have made a little more progress since taking the photo, and have divided for the sleeves on the Bulle.
I finished reading Washington Square. I am looking forward to discussing the characters with my book club! I am not sure what I am going to read next. I have still been reading The Beekeeper's Handbook when I have the chance. I snapped my photo next to a stack of the boys' library books. Seth is re-reading The Great Brain books, and The Mad Scientists' Club series. These are some of his favorite books.

Are Social Discovery Apps Too Creepy?
The premise of social discovery seems simple: Uncover the people and events around you, in real time, based on user interests and/or locations. But many worry today's social apps define privacy in very different and sometimes concerning terms.
In 2012, Instagram revamped its privacy policy to much protest, and Path settled a case with the FTC over its personal information collection practices. As more of these social discovery applications emerge, two concepts remain key: user discretion and transparency.
On the other hand, some users subsets are growing into the new social media landscape, when it comes to privacy. According to "Teens, Social Media and Privacy," a report issued last month by Pew Internet, teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media sites than they have in the past, but they're also taking a variety steps to manage the privacy of that information.
The report indicates that 91% have posted a photo of themselves (compared to 79% in 2006); 20% share their cellphone numbers (compared to 2% in 2006), and 16% automatically include location in their posts (very rarely an option at all in 2006). Only 9% say they are very concerned about third parties accessing their data.
For one, social media user Jordan Kaneshiro of Honolulu, Hawaii is wary of all things location-based. "It's one thing to throw a quick status on Facebook or update at the end of the day, but constant updates on where you are or where someone else is doesn't really add value to my life," he says. "The only good use case is if I'm out and about and have nothing better to do. [I] find out someone I know is close, so we can hang out."
We gleaned some insight from developers behind three very different location-based discovery apps — Imo.im, Highlight and Banjo –- along with their users, to find out whether the value of sharing outweighs the apps' "TMI" factors. We asked how they aim to make privacy settings more transparent than in years past.
Imo.im — a communication tool to call, message and create chat groups with existing friends — recently launched a new broadcasts channel, where users connect with like-minded people and groups. The app targets specific users based on their locations, interests and in-app interactions.
Imo.im CEO Ralph Harik says user transparency was key in developing a trustworthy and safe resource, where users would be comfortable sharing with one another.
"Often with new technology, there is a bit of hesitation from users who don't understand how to use it, and what is and isn't okay," he tells Mashable. "Since we started developing the Imo network, we've focused on creating policies that are transparent to our users, as well as building out a user support and safety team."
On Imo, users can block messages from certain people and hide their availability from people not in their contacts. They also have the option to turn broadcasts off and on. In response to users still wary about exposing too much information or sharing with people they don't know, Harik says they can access people they may not be able to otherwise.
"Broadcasts are quite a mixed bag. Because they're public and anyone can post them, it's not uncommon to see some very strange people talking about very strange things," says Imo user Dan Hlavenka of Elmhurst, Ill. "However, the vast majority of posts I've seen have been really cool. Usually, I'll see people sharing interesting recipes or cool new music, or debating political issues."
To reduce unwanted conversations, Imo broadcasts utilize "communication points," which help users avoid unwanted attention. If a user doesn't have you in his or her contact list, it will cost you points to message them. Earn points by inputting data about yourself, linking social media accounts and inviting others to join the network.
"I'm more than happy to share plenty of details about myself," Hlavenka says. "But when comes to personally identifying information, I'm a lot more wary."

Social discovery app Highlight alerts you when other users or friends are nearby. By giving you the ability to see exactly where they are via map, you also have access to their names, photos, mutual friends, social networks and interests in common.
"The premise sounds really cool: sifting through the people around you to help leverage social networks. But I find it creepy," says Highlight user Katherine Stewart of Richmond, Va. "I think it would be cool in a city like New York or Chicago. In Richmond, there weren't very many users, so you would see the same people every day pop up."
While Highlight founder and CEO Paul Davison sees the app as a "bird's eye view of the world," he says it is going to take awhile to figure out social norms as more products use new technology for sharing.
"Any time a new piece of technology comes out, it has never been an option before, so it might be uncomfortable at first," Davison says. "But over time, the social benefits outweigh the cost of privacy … Look what happened with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Foursquare."
In turn, he says, users can manage their privacy settings by limiting their profiles to who can find you, and where, even electing "hiding spots" that let them go "off the grid."
"The service is entirely opt-in; everyone has chosen to do it," Davison says.
Combining location and social updates, Banjo delivers publicly available posts from social networks — Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, LinkedIn and Google+ — from any location in the world, whether from your friends and common connections, or the general public.
Users can find posts from specific locations by entering a keyword, something Banjo founder and CEO Damien Patton calls a "there" instead of "here" experience. A recent app update added channels (sports, music, news, etc.), which allow people to observe live events around the world. Or if you missed it, go back in time and see everything that was posted for the event.
An additional Banjo feature alerts users when friends from their social networks are nearby, an in-app commodity that, according to Patton, everyone should be doing. He wouldn't categorize Banjo in the "social discovery" realm, though, because it's more location-focused, something he says you can't really talk about without mentioning privacy.
"You have to give the user full control of how they adjust their privacy," he says. "We check the privacy settings you have on every social network connected, so that posts are shared with the intended audience only ... Banjo never shows your location unless you want it to."
He explains that a user's location is determined by his vicinity or region, not his exact position, and that users have control and power over how much they want to share.
"As long as my location is never more accurate than the name of the city I'm in, I don't find it creepy at all," says Hlavenka. "I don't particularly care that a lot of the people I talk to are relative strangers. As long as they've got something interesting to say, I'm happy to listen."

So this was a fun little experiment with my husband. Since he's been back from japan, he hasn't has much time to cook, with being in the barracks and all. So we decided to cook together at least one night a week. Last night we tried out hand at balsamic chicken, completely from scratch (no recipe being followed)
2 chicken breasts (or 4 chicken cutlets)
bread crumbs
1 cup wine
1.5 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 button mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup balsamic salad dressing
3 tbsp italian seasoning
1 tsp flour
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 lemon, juice and zested
1 tbsp olive oil
1. Run the chicken through breadcrumbs to get it nicely coated
2. in a 10 inch skillet, add 1tbsp olive oil and cook the chicken til its no longer pink in the middle (about 4 minutes each side, but depends on thickness)
3. remove chicken and dry on paper towl
4. Add the white wine to the pan, then the chicken broth, balsamic dressing, seasonings, lemon juice, lemon zest. Let it come to a boil.
5. OPTIONAL: Depending on how thick you want your sauce you can add the right amount of flour. For a less thick sauce add about 1 tsp flour, 2 tsp for a more thick. Let the flour dissolve, constantly stirring so there aren't any clumps.
6. Turn the heat to low and add the mushrooms + chicken. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are done.
|Right before the lid went on.
|Dinner time =)

Sang An
Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr
- Yield
- Makes 4 to 8 brunch or light supper servings
- 8 large plum tomatoes (1 1/3 lb), halved lengthwise
- 3/4 lb mushrooms, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices Italian bread (3 to 4 inches wide)
- 1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 lb thinly sliced smoked ham (8 slices)
- 8 large eggs
- Roast tomatoes and mushrooms and make sauce:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss tomatoes and mushrooms with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a roasting pan. Arrange tomatoes cut sides up, then bake vegetables in lower third of oven until softened, about 20 minutes for mushrooms and 30 minutes for tomatoes. (Transfer mushrooms to a bowl while tomatoes finish roasting.)
- Transfer 8 tomato halves to a blender and purée with 1 tablespoon oil until smooth. (Thin sauce with water if desired.) Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a small ovenproof dish for reheating.
- Toast bread while vegetables roast:
- Brush both sides of bread slices with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then bake on a baking sheet in upper third of oven until crisp and golden on edges, about 10 minutes. Rub tops of toasts with cut sides of garlic. Leave toasts on baking sheet. (Leave oven on.)
- Poach eggs and finish dish:
- Fill a deep 12-inch skillet or small flameproof roasting pan with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer to poach eggs.
- Reheat tomato sauce and roasted tomatoes and mushrooms in lower third of oven 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fold a slice of ham on top of each toast and heat in upper third of oven until warm, about 3 minutes.
- While other ingredients are reheating, break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, spacing them apart, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper. Put 1 or 2 toasts on each plate and top each with a tomato half and a poached egg. Drizzle with tomato sauce and scatter mushrooms around eggs.
Cooks' notes:
• The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. You can substitute pasteurized eggs (in the shell) or cook eggs longer. • Vegetables can be prepared 1 day ahead. Chill tomatoes, mushrooms, and sauce separately, covered. • Toasts can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature.

To give you a sense of how much we love cheese in my family, I will tell you that my mother once toyed with
breaking the law bucking the system to smuggle carry cheese in her suitcase on a return trip to Paris. When I asked her, "Do you feel like this cheese is really worth maybe getting arrested by customs?" she took a long time thinking about it. So did I. Because really, a good cheese might just be worth getting into a little hot water. Our people are French in heritage and we love our cheese. Cheese, however, does not always love me–one of many cruel food ironies.
As we start our marathon training in earnest this week, I am on the lookout for some replacements that will give me the satisfaction of cheese without the tummy trouble on my long run the next day. I am also exploring other plant-based sources of protein and nutrition during marathon training with the help of a great website, The No Meat Athlete. We have been reducing our meat consumption for several years now, so this is just one extra shift in our journey.
In general, I am not a big fan of cheese substitutes (and as I've detailed, I do love good cheese). Cheese substitutes often get the texture or flavor wrong and overall I'd rather NOT have cheese than to pretend I'm having cheese that tastes like salt or playdough. I have found some great ideas from other blogs that hold promise for me to enjoy some cheese-y flavor without any tummy trouble. If you are interested in trying something new or just shaving off some saturated fat from your diet, give these a try!
Nutritional Yeast
The first good cheese substitute is nutritional yeast. I know, sounds gross, but bear with me here. Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast super high in B12. It is also a complete protein. So, by itself, it is very good for you and it has the added benefit of the wonderful umami flavor of Parmesan cheese. Nutritional yeast comes in large flakes, so this is not something you would serve on crackers, but it is amazing in soups, stews, scrambled eggs/egg substitute or in a pasta dish. You can mix it with some olive oil to add to foods or just sprinkle it over foods like you might a dry cheese. Definitely, it's worth a try. Not sure if you would like it? You can buy nutritional yeast flakes in the bulk bin of Whole Foods or other natural food stores and try just a little to see if you like it.
Vegan Cashew Cheese Sauce
Cashews are amazing little nuts that, when softened, can replace peanut butter and even cheese! I love reading the blog My Whole Food Life (check it out!). She has terrific ideas, recipes and now videos! I saw THIS video for a cashew cheese sauce and thought it would be great for nachos. It is easy to make, tasty and great for serving with corn chips, quesadillas or even drizzled over burritos. I'm not sure, but you could probably use this to make a vegan mac and cheese. I add a little more cumin and some red pepper flakes to the sauce because I like it spicy, but you could make this sauce yours in a million ways. Unlike conventional cheese sauce, this is healthy (have you read the ingredients in processed queso?) and without the heaviness or tummy issues of milk-based cheese. Watch the video, starring her lovely daughter and her husband and see for yourself! If you like what you see, you can subscribe to her YouTube channel and get more quick videos!

Broker-dealer recruiters kept up their hiring momentum through the final days of the year, with Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch in particular seeing a flurry of activity—both in and out the door—before the 2013 compensation plans take effect. Still, the wirehouses weren't the only BDs to experience some significant movement in December, as several independent broker-dealers nabbed new reps and managers.
During the past few weeks, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (BAC) said it added eight advisors from rivals Morgan Stanley (MS), Credit Suisse (CS) and RBC (RY). The new advisors have managed close to $920 million in assets and have produced some $6.4 million in yearly fees and commissions.
Thus, the latest Merrill reps have an average of $800,000 in yearly production and $115 million in assets under management.
The four reps joining from Morgan Stanley are David Vallie of Grand Blanc, Mich.; Christine Reilly of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Dan Sandlin of Chicago, and Jason Lloyd of Ventura Coast, Calif.
Craig Weinstein, formerly of Credit Suisse, came on board Merrill Lynch in Dallas, while ex-RBC reps Emory Ragsdale, Wade Myatt and Lynde Jackson are now representing Merrill in College Station, Texa.
For its part, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management says it recently recruited five Merrill FAs with about $3 million in yearly fees & commissions and close to $400 million in assets. This represents an average production level of about $600,000 and $80 million in AUM.
Nancy Buttweiler, Kristopher Schultz and David Peterson joined Morgan Stanley in St. Paul, Minn., while Richard Prybyl, Richard Farr and Steve Headrick are now part of the MSWM office in Ithaca, N.Y.
RJ, LPL and Securities America
Raymond James (RJF) said its employee broker-dealer added three financial advisors from Morgan Stanley in mid-December: Scott Cutliff, Donald Horras and Patricia Polster joined the Fort Lauderdale branch of Raymond James & Associates.
"We are pleased to welcome this team to Raymond James," said Ira Federer, director of RJA's eastern division, in a statement. "With years of experience, the team has developed a strong understanding of how to help clients. We are delighted they chose Raymond James to support their efforts and practice."
The team, also known as Sunset Financial Group, has managed more than $204 million in client assets and had annual fees and commissions of about $1.5 million.
"We are thrilled to be a part of Raymond James," said Cutliff, vice president, investments, in a press release. "We had been at the same firm for most of our careers … after looking at several firms, we found Raymond James' culture to be the best fit for us and our clients."
Washington Wealth Management, an independent, multi-custodial hybrid RIA that is affiliated with LPL Financial (LPLA) said early Thursday that it hired ex-Morgan Stanley complex director David Richman to serve as its market-area director for Southern California.
Richman has been hired to help Washington Wealth open at least three new offices in Southern California over the next 12 to 18 months, the firm said in a press release. It also notes that its recruited AUM increased from about $100 million in December 2011 to over $1 billion this December.
"We're really excited to welcome Dave Richman to the WWM team," said Rob Bartenstein, CEO of Washington Wealth Management, in a press release.
"WWM's turnkey multi-custodial platform and unique understanding of the needs of successful advisors as they transition to independence make the firm well-positioned to capitalize on the tremendous growth opportunities available in Southern California and nationwide," Bartenstein explained in a statement.
Securities America, a unit of Ladenburg Thalmann (LTS), said Tuesday that it recruited Clements Investment Group LLC of Durango, Colo.
Formerly with United Planners Financial Services, Clements Group has some $1.1 million in annual revenue and more than $100 million in client assets. It includes five financial advisors and an office in Farmington, N.M.
"We needed a partner that had a full line of services available to its advisors, especially from the retirement plans standpoint," explained Jim Clements, founding owner of Clements Group, in a statement.
"The Clements Group went through an exhaustive due diligence process that included many top-tier broker-dealers in the independent space," said Gregg Johnson, senior CP of branch office development and acquisitions for Securities America, in a press release. "We are extremely pleased that they chose to become a part of the Securities America family."

Virginia fans stormed the court in Charlottesville last night, after the unranked Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68, and Mike Krzyzewski was a bit rankled by the lack of protection for his team. He reportedly "hollered an F-bomb at a fan" and later suggested that he and his team hadn't been properly shielded by Virginia personnel.
These are fair concerns, sure, but was the criticism warranted? Virginia officials told the Washington Post that they'd explained their court rush protocol to Duke before the game, and in this video, it looks as though arena security actually form a human fence around the teams' benches to keep out the crowds. (That's Duke's bench in front of the camera.) The worst thing you see here, aside from a student or two sneaking through the security guards to join the throng, is the same as the worst thing you see at any Duke game: a hearty "YOU SUCK!" as the players head out of the arena.

Ever since the last big independent manufacturer was bought 2-3 years ago, there has been an oligopoly. The prices are too high, much higher than earlier. Earlier prices went down very fast, but now the prices have not yet recovered from the flooding in Thailand, the prices are actually higher than before the flooding. Some years later.
So I think it is good that sales are diving. Then maybe the oligopoly will understand that they should lower the prices so we can start buying disks again. I planned to buy 3TB disks years ago, but prices skyrocketed and are still not low. When prices lowers back to where we were before the flooding, people will start buying disks again. I will. Not until then.

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget HD didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. Today we've got a ZVOX 325 soundbar up for grabs. Coming right from the middle of ZVOX's lineup, the 325 will pump out a surprising amount of sound, so it's good for either a "secondary" system or a smaller/streamlined living room. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!
Big thanks to ZVOX for providing the cheer!
The rules:
- Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
- You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
- If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
- Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.

Last week, government watchdog Judicial Watch issued a report that showed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) abandoning ordinary background checks due to a surge in amnesty applications as a result of President Obama's executive action last year.
If DHS cannot manage a few hundred thousand temporary amnesty applications, it is scary to think about how it will handle 10 million or more amnesty applications that would occur as a result of the Senate's immigration reform bill.
Based on e-mails and documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Judicial Watch's report revealed that DHS agents were operating under irregular and inconsistent orders on how to manage Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) applications. This resulted in DHS moving in September 2012 to a "lean and light" system of background checks, with only a few randomly selected applications being processed.
Then on November 9, 2012—three days after the re-election of President Obama—the entire agency was told to "put all DACA work on hold until further notice." Judicial Watch received no other documents indicating how or when DHS resumed background checks—if they have even resumed at all.
Under the Senate's immigration bill, S. 744, the vast majority of the estimated 11.5 million unlawful immigrants would be given registered provisional immigrant status after passing a background check. This is supposed to ensure that criminal aliens or national security threats are not being allowed to remain in the U.S. DHS, however, would only have six months to prepare for this flood of amnesty applications and background checks.
This is in addition to the many other things that DHS would have to do, including launching new border security plans and enforcement systems, creating and executing a biometric exit system, administering new visas, overseeing new agricultural worker programs, and implementing a brand new employment verification program.
Then add to that the ways in which the executive branch could use its discretion to distort the system. Judicial Watch's FOIA requests also uncovered the former Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, actively urging unlawful immigrants to pursue employment. She told workers that "federal laws are very clear and protect all workers equally, whether or not they have papers." The former Secretary needs a lesson on U.S. immigration and labor laws, because that's not the way it works.
President Obama's DACA, Solis's statement, and countless other actions show that this Administration will enforce immigration laws the way it wants to. Together with the sheer volume of work DHS has to do under S. 744, it doesn't leave a lot of hope for real background checks.

Honey Nut Ichiros?
I absolutely love this: CBS Sports.Com's list of the 200 most frequently used team names in its 100,000 fantasy baseball leagues.
1 Evil Empire
5 Bronx Bombers
6 Yankees/New York Yankees
7 Bombers
20 Murderer's Row
42 Highlanders
86 Yankees Suck
131 Damn Yankees
136 Pinstripes
169 Beantown Bombers
I'm beginning to sense a little theme there. Obviously "Evil Empire" probably vaulted to the top with the help of more than a couple of Star Wars/Not Yankees fans, but still, that's a lot of Yank reverence (honestly, how many "Beantown Bombers" could there be? No hard numbers are offered here – by 169th place three of one team might be sufficient).
2 Springfield Isotopes/Isotopes
9 Red Sox/Boston Red Sox
10 Cubs/Chicago Cubs
13 Mets/New York Mets
16 Tigers/Detroit Tigers
19 Brew Crew
23 Braves/Atlanta Braves
29 Indians/Cleveland Indians
32 Big Red Machine
39 Dodgers/LA Dodgers
49 Cardinals/St. Louis Cardinals
54 Redbirds
60 Phillies
61 Mudhens
75 Reds
76 Brewers
80 Splendid Splinters
81 Red Sox Nation
87 Durham Bulls
92 Amazins
100 Rangers
108 Mariners
115 Tampa Bay Rays
118 Gas House Gang
121 Cubbies
122 Minnesota Twins
123 Louisville Sluggers
129 Kansas City Royals
132 Astros
137 Orioles
140 Expos
162 Dodger Blue
165 San Diego Padres
166 Florida Marlins
172 San Francisco Giants
178 Toronto Blue Jays
180 Rockies
184 Chicago White Sox
185 Senators
188 Homestead Grays
190 Washington Nationals
Your fantasy team is named The Chicago White Sox? I mean I get "Washington Nationals" if you live in the state, or in Washington, PA. If you're Jay, "Toronto Blue Jays" sounds pretty cool. But where are the Ed Sox, Dead Sox, Fred Sox, Ned Sox, Ted Sox,
and 'Nuf Ced Sox?
14 Roid Rage
37 Juiced
57 Balco Bombers
64 Balco
127 Roid Ragers
170 Balco Boys
All right, enough ripping. Five of these I really liked, the first because as cliched as it might be, it represents an epic failure to come up with a fake name in a different context and might thus be described as "meta":
35 McLovin
43 Kenny Powers
51 Honey Nut Ichiros
128 Little Lebowski Urban Achievers
139 Jeters Never Prosper
I would definitely be proud to call a team of mine "Jeters Never Prosper," or, especially, "Honey Nut Ichiros," which is inspired – as long as you're not in an NL-only league.
16 Comments
A couple years ago a buddy of mine, an Indians fan, used the name: "C.C.'s Crooked Hat." It's one of the better names I've heard. Obviously, he's retired the "Crooked Hat" but has adopted "Big League Choo." Also a solid name. As for ripoffs, I used "Roger Dorn Bat Night" in one of my leagues last year. "The Wright Stuff" is an obvious one.
Maybe topical names are fleeting, but I know, at least for fantasy hockey, two of the best names I saw were "Taxi Cab Kanefessions" and "Don't Toews Me Bro!"
On the rip-off tip, my first fantasy teams were named the Mudhens. Boring! That soon turned into Sonic Death Monkey which, of course, became Barry Jive and the Uptown Five on the way to becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive.
Then I was the Bug-Eyed Earls (named for Max Cannon's comic strip Red Meat) for a while, and currently The Nappy Dugout (which you might need to be an Ice Cube fan to get).
We did have a Honey Nut Ichiros in our league last year for a while, but he changed it to something les funn
The last fantasy league I played in, about 10 years ago, my team was named the Spalding Grays, thus honoring Albert Goodwill Spalding, Spalding sporting goods (and Spaldeens), the nicknames of the Homestead and Providence teams and the monologist. This was before Mr. Gray's suicide.
Love the name Honeynut Ichiros!
I am in the MLB Blog bf league. My team's name is "Locos Azules" For my Dodgers and my name crzblue.
Given the Simpsons reference, I think Springfield Isotopes gets a pass.
My fantasy world is tied up elsewhere, but if I chose to enter the world of fantasy baseball how about "It's Mauer Never" Go Twins !!!!!
Our fantasy draft takes place around Passover every year. I named my team the 9 Plagues just for the symmetry. Plus, I'm as bad as the Pharaoh at drafting hitters.
keith a fantasy league with the arrested development guys? need to know the other team names from that league! i think mine could/would have been "heyyy brother"
I was in a fantasy league back in the 80's when it first started up. I was the only female in the league (ended up ahead of 4 of the 7 guys much to their chagrin) but we didn't have names then.
As for picks, rookie John Jay of the Cardinals looked promising in the travesty of a game that is the Cards/Reds game now in rain delay (should have been called in the 5th inning).
If I were in a league today I think Red Bed Heads would be the name I would pick.
My favorite of all time was my friend's football team name from about 18 years ago.
We live in New York. He lived downtown. His team was the Houston Oilers.
If you are a New Yorker, you will get the joke.
Best name ever, my friend's kid this year creates "Byrnes When I Peavy".
Speaking of AAA Tacoma, our recently called up players from the minors all proved they were hungry today and hopefully will push the regulars into taking another look at themselves. Josh Wilson led the group with a 3-run homer in the 4th and also had a single, walk, and triple. Michael ?Condor? Saunders let everyone know he was legit as well with a solo HR and RBI single later in the game. Ryan Langerhans got on base with a couple of walks and picked up a steal as he gave Casey Kotchman the day off to regroup. Even Adam Moore who is on the bubble picked up an RBI single in the 8th. http:/jeffsmariners.com

Sir Richard Hadlee has questioned Ross Taylor's response to his sacking as New Zealand captain and believes he should have played on after the fall-out rather than take time away from the game.
Taylor, who was relieved of the captaincy after the Sri Lanka tour despite drawing the Test series 1-1, opted out of the following trip to South Africa saying he needed a break from the international game. He will return to the New Zealand side for the Twenty20 series against England which starts on Saturday and is also in the one-day squad. Barring any dramatic change in events, he will resume his Test career next month.
In Taylor's absence, New Zealand were crushed in the Tests against South Africa, including being bowled out for 45 in Cape Town, and also lost the Twenty20 series, although they fought back impressively to take the one-day contest.
Hadlee, while sympathising with the poor handling of the situation, would have preferred to see Taylor move on quickly from losing the leadership and return to the ranks immediately.
"I find it very interesting how Taylor reacted. In some ways I'm a little disappointed that Taylor decided to exile himself for a period of time," Hadlee told ESPNcricinfo. "If you fall off the horse you get back on it, and I can't imagine an All Black rugby player who was captain then was replaced not make himself available to play again as soon as possible.
"Clearly Taylor had been affected in some way and needed to get his mind right. It was his call, but I'm not sure it was good thing because when he gets back into the side it's going to be quite an uneasy period for him, and other team-mates, knowing that he walked away."
Hadlee, though, added his voice to those unimpressed by the handling of the whole situation, which saw Mike Hesson, the New Zealand coach, tell Taylor before the Test series in Sri Lanka he wanted a change of captain but, it later emerged, only in the limited-overs formats. Taylor has recently met with Hesson for the first time since losing his position and is ready to move on, though he admitted that the relationship will take time to develop.
"There were clearly mixed messages, which have been well documented," Hadlee said. "Taylor had clearly been hurt and offended, perhaps not so much by the decision but how it came about because it was done before the first Test. That decision should have been made in the review after the tour."
Hadlee would have been comfortable if New Zealand had gone down the split-captaincy route now used by England, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. But, despite the circumstances of the change, he sees Brendon McCullum as someone with the right qualities to lead New Zealand and does not think he should be judged too harshly on the Test performances.
"At the moment Brendon McCullum is doing all forms and clearly struggling in the Test team, but I think that is more to do with resources available rather than issues with him personally," he said. "He has shown his true colours, especially as a leader, in the one-day format so that is pretty encouraging."
Of greater concern for McCullum, according to Hadlee, is that he works out what sort of batsman he wants to be in the longer format. After being elevated to opener, partly due to the lack of other options as much as his suitability for the position, he has largely shelved his natural attacking game to try and set a more cautious tone for his team-mates but that may not be making best use of his ability.
"The big problem Brendon is facing at the moment is how he, himself, plays the game as a batsman. Does he open or drop down the order? Does he play aggressively, take high risks, which if he fails can set a bad example or take a more circumspect role that goes against his instincts? He's caught in between with how he should play but that is what the selectors have left the left him with."
Although McCullum will have Taylor back to boost his batting order against England, another of New Zealand's most destructive players remains unavailable. Jesse Ryder, who has not played for New Zealand since being dropped for disciplinary reasons during the one-day series against South Africa last year, will not resume his international career in the near future despite a prolific domestic season.
Ryder will continue with the plan drawn up in the wake of his latest problems with authority last year and play a full season for Wellington before taking up his IPL deal with Delhi Daredevils. Hadlee, who had a close association with Ryder when he was chairman of selectors, hopes to see him back in the set-up but says that no more controversies can be tolerated.
"When Jesse is ready to come back that will be great for our game, but the most important thing he needs to do is obey a set of rules and protocols," Hadlee said.

(Chicago Tribune) The Democratic-led Senate delivered a Valentine's Day victory to gay and lesbian couples today, passing legislation for the first time that would allow same-sex marriage in Illinois.
The gay marriage measure now goes to the House, where the fight is expected to be tougher. Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
The 34-21-2 Senate vote represents a turnaround of sorts after advocates unsuccessfully sought to push a gay marriage bill through last month's lame-duck legislative session. Supporters vowed to try again quickly with a new General Assembly that featured even more Democratic seats in both chambers.

Arrests in SUV driver attack by bikers
The family of Alexian Lien, the driver of an SUV that was involved in an accident with a pack of motorcyclists on Manhattan's West Side that ended in a chase and beating has released a statement.
The statement starts by saying: "Our plan last Sunday was to celebrate our wedding anniversary by having a nice family day out with our two-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, instead, we were placed in grave danger by a mob of reckless and violent motorcyclists."
The statement was released Thursday morning be the law firm of Massimo & Panetta on behalf of the family.
It goes on to say: "Our sympathies go out to the injured motorcyclist and his family. However, we were faced with a life-threatening situation, and my husband was forced under the circumstances to take the actions that he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family. Our fear for our lives was confirmed when the incident ended with the ruthless and brutal attack on my husband, me, and, most importantly, our two-year-old child. We know in our hearts that we could not have done anything differently, and we believe that anyone faced with this sort of grave danger would have taken the same course of action in order to protect their family."
The statement continues: "We would like to thank the brave citizens who risked their own safety to intervene on our behalf. They truly helped save our lives and prevented my husband from suffering further injury. We also appreciate and are moved by the outpouring of love and support so many have expressed here in New York and around the country."
The family said that any further inquries in regard to the incident should be directed to their lawyers.
The statement ends with: "We would ask that the public and the media to respect our privacy at this difficult time and allow my husband to recover from his injuries."
Police have arrested two of the bikers involved in the initial incident that lead to the vicious attack. But some of the bikers and their supporters say the driver is not the victim because one of the bikers he ran over is in a coma and could be paralyzed.
Video posted to YouTube from the helmet camera worn by a motorcyclist shows a pack of bikers attacking the driver of an SUV following a fender bender on the West Side Highway on Sunday afternoon.
The driver of the black Range Rover — Alexian Lien, 33 — was with his wife and young child inside when he struck a motorcycle that was in front of his car, police said. In the video, Lien is seen stopping the SUV and then speeding away and striking three motorcycles when the group began to damage his SUV.
A pack of 20 to 30 bikers chased Lien for more than 50 blocks.
Once the driver got off the highway at West 178th St. in Washington Heights the bikers attacked.
One person is seen taking off his helmet and striking the vehicle while another biker tries to punch through a window in the backseat where the child was seated.
The biker breaks through the window and Lien is dragged out of the car and assaulted, said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. Lien suffered cuts to the face.

Even tho we don't have the game yet, I have attempted to make a PSD file that easilly allows us to make custom characters for this game. We have a sea on minis from our collections that could be used with this.

Network Has Made A 6 Episode Commitment
Santa Monica, CA � June 10, 2008 � 'Bromances' are taking Hollywood by storm. With their extreme sports adventures, witty banter and ultra cool parties; these super close celebrity male friendships are the envy of guys everywhere. "Bromance," is a non-scripted series that will take a group of regular guys from around the country and bring them to Hollywood to have a "Bromance" with "The Hills" breakout star, Brody Jenner. In the end, Brody will befriend one guy and invite him to become part of his entourage. MTV has made a 6 episode commitment.
Unfortunately, in Hollywood finding the perfect guy you can trust and chill with can be just as hard as finding a girlfriend. Brody will have the "bros" compete in various group and individual activities that will test their trust, reliability and compatibility to determine who truly belongs in his inner circle. From skydiving into Las Vegas, to dealing with the Paparazzi, to being his wingman, each episode will feature one "group date" and the always important "alone time" with Brody. Throughout the series, the pool of "bros" gets smaller as contestants get eliminated in the "Hot Tub elimination ceremony," where rejected "bros" will be asked to leave the bachelor pad, dripping wet, wearing a swim suit with luggage in hand. In the end, the winner will take home an incredible prize package, move out to Hollywood and secure a spot as the newest member of Jenner's entourage.
"'Bromance' takes a successful TV format and turns it on its head in an irreverent way that would only work for MTV," said Liz Gateley, SVP MTV Series Development. "Brody is the perfect fit for this concept�he is type of guy everyone wants to hang out with and we're excited to further solidify our long-standing relationship with him that started with 'The Hills.'"
"From 'Superbad' and 'Wedding Crashers' to 'Entourage,' pop culture is filled with numerous examples of unabashed male bonding. As every guy knows, close male friendships aren't just a quirky television plotline or a running gag in the movies. 'Bromance' is the first reality series to fully explore the essence of these life-long friendships," said Ryan Seacrest, executive producer.
"I am eager to have the opportunity to work with Liz Gateley, Tony DiSanto, Ryan Seacrest and MTV, and produce a series that is unique and will resonate with audiences everywhere," said Brody Jenner. "Working as a producer on 'Bromance' will give me the opportunity to exert my knowledge in a creative forum as well as strengthen my existing relationship with a paramount network such as MTV."
Ryan Seacrest, Brody Jenner and Eric Podwall will serve as the Executive Producers of "Bromance". Eliot Goldberg, Jason Henry and Kathy Sutula are co-executive producers. Jason Henry and Kathy Sutula are co-creators. Frankie Delgado is a producer. Maira Suro and Lauren Dolgen are MTV executives overseeing the production.

Seacrest and Andrew Glassman of Glassman Media will co-produce the show that will air on NBC this fall.
RSP recently premiered the highly anticipated reality program "Denise Richards: It's Complicated" on E! Entertainment to record ratings. This series follows Denise Richards as she navigates through Hollywood, romance, motherhood and the tabloids. RSP has also brought us the extremely successful reality series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The show follows the increasingly hectic life of Kim Kardashian, and just concluded its 2nd season on E! Entertainment Network. Seacrest serves as executive producer for the show which highlights the entertaining life of the tabloid target and her family, earning the show the number one ratings in its time slot. In addition, Seacrest joined forces with MTV in a deal to executive produce, "Crash My School," a one hour special that aired on MTV in June 2007. This reality series gives kids the chance to petition their principals with the help of the show's host.

From Dr. Leonard Jason's ME/CFS Research Team at DePaul University in Chicago – Distributed Jun 22 via XMRV Global Action…
Phone/Email Survey-Based Study Needs Volunteers
"We have recently developed new criteria for classifying individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome, which has recently been referred to as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) – and we are hoping to recruit some volunteers who would be willing to fill out some surveys to help us understand how to more accurately classify individuals with this illness.
We are hoping to gather information from both:
• Healthy individuals
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
• And individuals [age 18 and over] who have a current diagnosis of ME/CFS.
Individuals from both groups are vital to the success of this project because those who volunteer to fill out surveys for us will be helping our team to develop a new case definition that we hope will potentially improve the research in this field and that may one day get us closer to finding biological markers for this illness.
Your participation in this study is voluntary, but greatly needed.
The information we will obtain in this study has the potential to lead to medical treatments and a better understanding of how to diagnose ME/CFS. We would appreciate any time you can give.
The total amount of time involved in your participation in this study will amount to no more than 3 hours [for completion of a phone interview and surveys] that can be spread out over 3 different days.
If you are interested, please contact our team at (773) 325-4900 or email us at email@example.com."

What we were discussing this morning…
dcbreidenbach, on April 26, 2010 at 9:51 am Said:in a prior posting it was stated that defense attys press people to be concerned about deficiency judgements unnecessarily. This advice may be practical for some homeowners but is extremely dangerous for borrowers generally. The current practice of most collectors is to press foreclosure on the mortgage–ignoring the note. This is an inverted approach that enables the collection agency to acquire the property and proceeds of its disposition without ever demonstrating who holds the note, or possession of the note. The collector obtains the home today, settling the mortgage, but is fully capable of selling the note deficiency balance collection rights to an even worse collection agency. The collectors are legally able to lay in the weeds for as much as 5-10 years depending on state laws and the facts of the case. When the homeowner is "back on his feet" with a good job, restored credit and other assets accumulated, the collector shows up with the old note and deficiency judgment and makes the claim plus interest accrued in the meantime. Just when the homeowner thought it was over-he/she is drawn back into the horror. another opportunity for them exists; they know you owe a deficiency amount-they record it and wait for you to die ——-then they come after your estate for proceeds of your life insurance and pension payouts that you thought were to help your family! Be wary of advice that says "dont worry-be happy" ; these people feed on deception, its a way of life to them. Beware disinformation—find attornies if you have deficiencies–force the collectors to warrant that the deficiency is waived. And get a warranty from an employee of one of the big name banks at the minimum that you will not be pursued. Trust them not.
Given any opportunity to screw you they will!
Lenders Unload Mortgages to Collection Agencies
19 April 2010 @ 05:11 pm EDT
Lenders are selling second mortgages and home-equity lines in default to collection agencies that have the right to collect this money potentially for decades.
"It's a big business, and investors are coming out of the woodwork," says Sylvia Alayon, a vice president for Consumer Mortgage Audit Center, which analyzes mortgage documents for lenders, advocacy groups, and attorneys.
Real estate professionals will be doing their short-sale clients a big favor if they urge them to get professional advice before they sign agreements, Alayon says.
A new government short-sale program, which takes effect Monday, aims to prevent banks from reselling this debt. Sellers covered under the program will receive notice that secondary lien holders have received part of the proceeds of the sale "in exchange for release and full satisfaction of their liens."

Infinity Blade: Dungeons put "on hold," Impossible Studios being closed
Infinity Blade: Dungeons has been put "on hold," and the developer of the third entry in the series, Impossible Studios, is being shuttered according to Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney.
Impossible Studios was formed in August after Epic hired on former members of Big Huge Games after its collapse.
"When former members of Big Huge Games approached Epic last year, we saw the opportunity to help a great group of people while putting them to work on a project that needed a team," said Sweeney today in a statement. "It was a bold initiative and the Impossible folks made a gallant effort, but ultimately it wasn't working out for Epic.
"In addition to providing Impossible Studios employees with three months of severance pay, we'll be giving the team the opportunity to form a new company with the Impossible Studios name and the awesome Impossibear logo. This means that Infinity Blade: Dungeons is now on hold as we figure out the future of the project."
In October, Epic announced Infinity Blade: Dungeons would miss its targeted 2012 release. The game was announced alongside iPad 2.
Thanks, Shack.

(Adds details, quotes)
Nov 10 (Reuters) - Ten-time all-star Paul Pierce stepped up late in the game to help the Boston Celtics grind out a hard fought 96-92 away victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday.
Having lost to the Bucks eight days earlier, the Celtics dished out a little payback with Pierce notching up nine rebounds and 25 points, including a clutch run of baskets late in the fourth quarter, to improve the side to 3-3.
"It was just ball movement. (Rajon) Rondo's penetration really opened up things, I was able to knock down some shots, I think we spread the floor pretty good," Pierce said of his side's last quarter comeback.
"We put Rondo in the middle and let him create and we shared the ball."
Rondo had 10 points and 10 assists for the Celtics, taking his streak of games with 10 or more assists to 30, the third-longest streak in NBA history.
Magic Johnson has the longest streak at 46 games from April 1983 to February 1984.
Fellow Celtics Kevin Garnett (18 points) and Jason Terry (15 points) were also heavily involved, with Garnett matching Pierce with some important late buckets, while the Bucks were left to rue a lack of accuracy from the majority of the squad.
"What was nice is every guy took the shot in their spot," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters.
"That's something we talked about. I want guys to shoot any time they get it as long as it's their shot and their spot. I'll have to watch the film and find out why in the last eight minutes it happened."
The home side Bucks led by four at three-quarter time and despite having a hefty possession advantage all night were unable to close the deal.
Monta Ellis top-scored with 32 points but Milwaukee made under 40 percent of their field goals and only 15 percent of three-pointers to fall to 3-2 for the year.
Brandon Jennings, who scored 21 points and added 13 assists in the November 2 game, shot just one of 11 in the rematch. (Reporting By Ben Everill in Los Angeles; editing by Amlan Chakraborty)
