The day before losing a brutally close Republican gubernatorial runoff to Nathan Deal, f0rmer Secretary of State Karen Handel had what seemed the perfect closing argument: A personal visit and rally with Sarah Palin.
But, the next day the former Alaska governor and Republican megastar was gone and Handel lost by fewer than 2,500 votes.
The cost of bringing Palin and her family to town? More than $100,000.
Handel's campaign paid an Ohio jet charter service nearly $92,000 and her latest campaign finance report shows it was for the Palin event. Handel also paid an additional $13,000 in expenses to the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead for the event.
Handel's quarterly report shows her campaign committee to be $28,000 in debt, with another $55,000 in deferred expenses still outstanding.

Have you kept up with the Democrat tab to help RoBy
Barnes? I guess not. We know who you are for. Typical.
October 7th, 2010
5:40 pm
Doesn't matter who someone is for – the fact remains that Palin isn't into all of this because she is patriotic; she is greedy. And when are her kids in school if they are flying all over with her?
October 7th, 2010

So what?
More AJC bias.
October 7th, 2010
5:52 pm
Ralph, how does this show bias? They're simply reporting.
October 7th, 2010
6:08 pm
They are simply reporting GOP money being spent as if it were nefarious. It is not news.
Similar "article" about Handel paying for Palin to visit during her campaign. Again, not news (it happened a while ago).
October 7th, 2010
6:24 pm
Well Ralph, if the AJC is so biased, perhaps you should to to Fox News.
October 7th, 2010
6:27 pm
@Ralph, I don't think it's being reported as some nefarious purchase, I think it's being reported as, "Holy cow Handel had to PAY for Palin to help her lose the election!?"
Palin is a train wreck and Handel should have ignored her. She lost my vote for trying play the "Palin card."
October 7th, 2010
10:01 pm
Hilarious, that the Democrat AJC reporter comes on here to pretend he was reporting "news".
And Us vs Us pretending Handel ever had his vote, and only lost it because Palin "is a train wreck".
The hypocrisy around here is shoulder deep.
October 7th, 2010
10:36 pm
$92,000 or a plane and $13,000 for a hotel bill?
Does anyone else think that could have been done for a little less?
October 7th, 2010
10:42 pm
Its now safe to say that if Karen Handel had spent that 100K on advertising she would now be the Republican nominee. Just goes to show you that all Republicans are after is dollars. Sarah Palin worth 100K, I guess that's the marketplace for you!
October 7th, 2010
10:49 pm
I guess this goes to show future Republican candidates to keep Palin out of their corner. She does not boost anyone up..she brings them down obviously because she is not worth her weright in gold.
October 7th, 2010
10:53 pm
Anything that makes republicans look bad, or stupid, is bias. Thus, all reporting on republicans is bias.
October 7th, 2010
10:55 pm
Ralph: if the AJC is SO terrible, SO bias, SO hypocritical, SO bed-wetting liberal, SO anti your point of view and obviously SO anti-you personally (THEY know what your thinking, Ralph), why don't you read something else? Vote with your wallet, your feet and your charming personality, and go somewhere that will have everyone agreeing to everything you write.
October 7th, 2010
10:55 pm
$92000 divided by $10.00 "street money" each to some impoverished voters to buy some MD20/20 to vote for Handel would have made her the nominee. The Repubs in Atlanta need to study Chicago politics

Is everyone blind to Sarah Palin's motivation. It's money and power. Nothing else. She has not one solution for this country's problems or issues. Can you imagine her negotiating with Putin?! Great God!
October 7th, 2010
11:10 pm
The Intercontinental is a really nice hotel but how could it possibly have cost $13000? And $92000 for a charter flight? I'll admit I'm not a fan of Sarah, but even if this article were about a candidate I really liked I would still be wondering what they were thinking. Especially if they campaign for fiscal responsibility.

$100,000 for a jet and hotel? Are you serious??? How many family members were on that flight? What a total waste of cash.

I don't spend a nickel on the AJC, but enjoy outing their "SO terrible, SO bias, SO hypocritical, SO bed-wetting liberal bias".
Those like Phil C who don't see it can pay for it.

12:06 am
I seem to remember Levi Johnston, the McCain stage prop, say that whenever he was at the Palin's house all Sarah and Todd talked about was how much money she could make. Seems like he was telling the truth.
October 8th, 2010
1:20 am
A move this stupid by Handel deserves a defeat and debt. Now we can clearly see why she was bad for the state. Irresponsible, egotistical and unintelligent.
October 8th, 2010
2:00 am
If Handel was so bad budgeting for her campaign (c'mon $100,000 for a couple hours of St. Sarah and leaving the campaign in debt) then we should all be glad she didn't become governor. Imagine what the state budget would have looked like had she taken residence in the Governor's Mansion!
October 8th, 2010

This is one stupid woman… She's a pathological liar and tried to con with her phony credentials. Good riddance.
October 8th, 2010
2:19 am
Seems that Sarah Palin is all about the money. She did well to quit her term as Alaska governor. She's making a lot more money touring around and spewing out Twitter sound bites. I'm just disgusted with my Republican choices this year. On top of all this, I cannot stomach voting for Nathan Deal and his crooked record. He's another quitter.
October 8th, 2010

Sary Palin and the Wasilly hillbillies continue to fleece the suckers & the rubes.
October 8th, 2010
5:28 am
Shows you no one is running/elected to serve the public. They only go into it for the money. Palin coming to the benefit of Hankel is the reason that I voted for Deal. palin is interested in only money and also keeping herself and family in lime light.
October 8th, 2010
5:37 am
Oh my gosh! What idiot would spend $100,000 to bring Palin to Georgia for a couple of hours. It is a good thing that Karen Handel did not win. Nathan Deal is clearly a crook, so Roy Barnes is the only one that can save Georgia. If Deal wins, we will be paying for his shady deals for the next 4 years!
I just hope we have enough educated voters to realize this!

100K for Palin's appearence. Millions for Michelle Obama's trips to Europe and several other shopping trips and nights in NY theaters. Hmmmm…..
October 8th, 2010
6:21 am
Andy, News Flash!!!
Palin is not even close to the first lady Michelle Obama.
October 8th, 2010
7:19 am
Oh what the Hell would anyone pay $100,00.00 to see Sarah Palin? Karen Handel should have lost the election! We all know that she does not no arithmetic. She could have moved her from Alaska for that much money.
October 8th, 2010
7:24 am
You're telling a big, fat lie when you say Michelle O'Bama hates being first lady. Her actions show she loves the job, and she's the most productive, attractive first lady we've had in a long time. Those of you who are spreading lies that First Lady O'Bama hates the job must be ignorant Republicans; no one but other ignorant Republicans would believe you. It's well known that Republicans are ignorant — look who you've elected — nothing but dumb@$#es and thieves.
October 8th, 2010
7:30 am
@ Big A: $92K is for the plane & Palin's appearance fee. Conveniently wrapped into one payment and, shockingly, it equals exactly $105,000 when "expenses" are added into it.
The real travesty is that someone thought it was a good use of donor money. I know common sense ain't common, but this is just ignorant! The campaign manager/strategist should never get another job and Handel should personally be on the hook for whatever money she is short and/or her campaign is in debt.
Always be wary of someone willing to spend so much for a job "earning" so little. Think of it this way, would anyone be willing to spend $100,000 in order to get a job being the local middle school basketball coach? $50,000 to be a teller at the bank? $25,000 to be the bartender at Chili's?!?
Agree or disagree with the politics makes no difference, but the spending is sheer idiocracy!
October 8th, 2010
7:34 am
Don't know if Michelle likes the job or not, but she'd better savor it now 'cause January 21, 2013, it's OVER!
October 8th, 2010
7:51 am
@ Margaret01 says: "she's the most productive, attractive first lady we've had in a long time." Careful hun, this is not the most thoughtful of comments. I'm not sure that "attractive" has a category when grading a 1st Lady and "productive" is usually subjective. Saying that, I doubt Mrs. Obama truly hates being the 1st Lady. The perks have to make the headaches worth it.
As for calling Republicans ignorant due to electing dumbarsness & cheats, well, pretty sure the Democrats have an equal track record. And THAT is what the problem continues to be. 2 parties filled w/folks willing to spend OUR money for propaganda. To convince us that they are the right ones who will use common sense and hold our best interests at heart. Willing to spend millions for jobs that pay thousands and we "expect" that to be normal?!? Trust that they are getting something other than the opportunity to "serve" their communities..

How stupid are the Conservatives party, this lady quite as gov, she has not had a job in 2 years, made 14 million dollars last year, books, charge people $25,000 a plate at fund raisers.
This women is a redneck to the fullest, she had no minorties on her staff in Alaska, and you bigot, tea baggars think America is going to vote for her as President?

October 8th, 2010

Palin is the major reason I didn't vote for her. Palin cost Handel the election, not just 100k. I just wish Palin would shut her trap. She does more harm than good. She is one of those Talking Heads whos only objective is to seperate Americans, rather than bring us together. She is awful! I will still be voting R come November, though.
October 8th, 2010

Lets look at this so called stars education and background. Sara Palin went to 4 to 5 colleges before she earn a communication degree, Sean Hannity 3 times college drop out, Rush L. never even finish high school, Glen Beck, to stupid to even go to college ex drug user.
Only in this country will millions of people follow idiots.
October 8th, 2010
8:46 am
Palin cost Handel the election. I was prepared to vote for Handel — I already was going to take a Republican ballot so I could vote for Fran Millar. But, when Handel got in bed with Palin I changed my mind. About Handel, that is. I still voted the Republican primary ballot, but Handel did not get my vote. I was one of the 2,500 votes by which she lost. BTW — I did not vote for Nathan Deal, either. I will be voting for Roy Barnes in November.
October 8th, 2010

The price you pay for stupidity.. Hire an idiot and thats what you get back..This Republican zealots will take us back to the stone age…got a club?

If she was stupid enough to pay 100k for a ditzy ex housewife to flit into town, Im glad she lost.
October 8th, 2010

If Handel was dumb enough to pay 100k to get that ditz here, she deserved to lose.

what do you expect from someone with a only high school education like handel?

What does Michelle Obama have to do with the article?
October 8th, 2010
9:39 am
"What does Michelle Obama have to do with the article?
That is a question I would like to have answered as well. It seems that whatever goes wrong or crazy, their is always a pointing of the finger towards President and Mrs. Obama.
When will the constipated right wake up and realize that Palin is just a poor piece of eye candy and a waste. Palin is all about herself and the dollars, but the conservatives are too blind to see it. Now Handel is out of $100k and what does she have to show for it?

This Growth Stock Is Firing on All Cylinders
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With the stock rising more than 50% over the last twelve months, eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) has certainly delivered a fantastic year for shareholders. But investing is about the windshield, not the rearview mirror, and the big question is whether this is still a good time to buy eBay or if the best is already over for the company. So let´s take a look at some key aspects to consider.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) may still be the leader in online commerce when it comes to market share, but this is a high growth industry that will have enough room to comfortably accommodate more than a couple of players over the following years. eBay has implemented some remarkable improvements in its marketplace operations lately: moving away from auctions towards a system more focused on fixed price offerings, improved search, free shipping, and mobile applications capabilities have been a big plus for ebay, and the company has gained a lot of traction in that area over the last years.
Besides, Amazon and eBay are taking opposite sides when it comes to their relationship with brick and mortar retailers. Traditional retailers are feeling seriously threatened by Amazon since the online retail giant is aggressively disrupting the entire industry and generating an enormous challenge for many retailers. eBay, on the other hand, is trying to build a bridge to bring those stores into the digital era so they can avoid being left in the past by Amazon, so traditional retailers have powerful incentives to befriend EBay in this competition.
eBay is blurring the lines between the physical and virtual shopping experience, and mobile is a big part of that strategy. According to the company´s CEO John Donahoe, in more than 50% of all retail transactions the consumer accesses the web at some point, in many cases to compare prices but also when it comes to product specifications, customer reviews, etc.
The company provides comparative pricing information not only from online stores but also from local retailers. Users can either scan a barcode or use visual recognition software to identify a product, and the application will then pull up the different prices for that product. Even better, geolocation makes it possible to find out if the product is available in nearby stores.
eBay is also experimenting with same day delivery in San Francisco and New York City, companies like Best Buy, Macy', Target, and Walgreen are joining this trial in an attempt to find more ways to defend themselves from the threat that Amazon represents. Looking beyond the potential financial reward for eBay in the middle term; this service is another way in which the company can strategically become an invaluable ally for retailers.
PayPal has emerged as a leading electronic payment method, expanding well beyond eBay's platform. The payment method is already accepted by more than 60 of the top 100 online retailers in the U.S., and it processes more than 25% of online retail transactions in the country. The opportunities for international expansion are nothing short of amazing; the technology is becoming very popular in emerging markets, where a smartphone and a PayPal account are sometimes more accessible than a bank account or other alternatives.
eBay reported during its last earnings report that PayPal has now nearly 123 million active accounts; more than 5 million of which were added in the fourth quarter, PayPal's biggest gain in 8 years. Mobile payment volume reached nearly $14 billion in 2012, up more than 250% over the prior year, as consumers are increasingly using smart phones and tablets to pay online.
And opportunities for offline expansion are looking increasingly strong too, the company is working on a partnership with Discover Financial Services, which is estimated to launch in the second quarter of this year. The deal will provide eBay access to a network of more than 7 million merchants, while Discover will pick up more transaction volume by processing the payments for PayPal.
At a Jamba Juice location in Emeryville, California, PayPal is testing an order-ahead mobile feature. Consumers can order their smoothie in advance, choose their pickup time and then skip the line at Jamba Juice by paying via PayPal. PayPal's in-store point-of-sale solution is now available at 23 major retailers all over the US, and there is no end at sight for its growth opportunities.
Other Opportunities
eBay owns 18% of Mercado Libre (NASDAQ: MELI), the leading ecommerce platform in Latin America which has a similar business model to that of ebay. Mercado Libre has also been fostering Mercado Pago, its own payment system which is growing beyond the ecommerce platform and playing a similar role to the one PayPal plays for eBay. Ecommerce is a high growth business, and Latin America is a high growth region, so Mercado Libre has delivered sales growth above 40 % annually over the last five years on average.
In 2011 eBay acquired GSI Commerce; a company specialized in creating, developing and running online shopping sites for brick and mortar brands and retailers. This acquisition gave eBay access to more than 180 retailers including brands like Ralph Lauren and Victoria's Secret while at the same time broadening its portfolio of services and generating cost savings via synergies. Performance is being quite strong in this segment too: GSI delivered a 19% increase in same-store sales for its clients over the last quarter.
Bottom Line
eBay is firing on all cylinders; growth opportunities are aplenty and coming from multiple sources. The stock doesn´t look to expensive at a forward P/E ratio of 17.2, so placing a bid – pun intended - for this innovative growth stock looks like good idea, even after the recent run up.

Neil Barsky talks about his documentary "Koch." It opened Friday, February 1, 2013, coincidentally the same day that former Mayor Ed Koch died.
Former Mayor Ed Koch is the quintessential New Yorker. Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 88-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989-a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world's most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.
KOCH had its World Premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 8, 2012, and will open theatrically on February 1, 2013.
About Neil
Neil Barsky began his career as a newspaper reporter, and covered real estate and economic development for the New York Daily News and Wall Street Journal. He subsequently became a Wall Street analyst and hedge fund manager. He is a graduate of Oberlin College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. He sits on the board of trustees of Oberlin College and the board of directors of Youth Communication, and is chair of the Columbia Journalism Review board of overseers. Neil is an executive producer of the 2012 documentary Knuckleball. Koch is his directorial debut. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children.
Fashion designer Nicky Hilton has been immersed in the industry since childhood when she began creating jewelry and accessories. The New Yorker and recently engaged socialite is sharing her strategy to building a wardrobe in the new book, '365 Style.' Hilton follows the 365 method which she invented.

Drink Up—or Decaf? New Findings on Coffee During Pregnancy
A new study adds to the already murky facts on the effects of caffeine on your baby-to-be
When it comes to the "Is it safe?" list of pregnancy dos and dont's, there's a lot of conflicting information as to where exactly coffee—and caffeinated drinks in general—fits in.
According to the World Health Organization, pregnant women should limit themselves to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day—the equivalent to about three eight-ounce cups of regular brewed coffee. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, recommends moms-to-be consume no more than 200 milligrams a day—two cups. And to add to the confusion, many doctors and midwives still says it's best to simply drink decaf.
Which, of course, leaves hordes of latte-loving moms-to-be wondering, who's right? To answer this question, researchers in Sweden and Norway looked at caffeine consumption in almost 60,000 pregnancies—and the results are buzz-worthy.
For example, moms who got a daily dose of between 200 and 300 milligrams of caffeine were up to 62 percent more likely to have a small for gestational age baby compared to moms whose caffeine intake from all sources (including foods like chocolate) was less than 50 mg daily.
Researchers were even able to pinpoint exact amounts of weight. For every 100 mg of average daily caffeine intake throughout pregnancy, the result was a loss in birth weight of up to one ounce—a two cup a day habit might shave up to two ounces of babies' birth weights, and so on. It might not seem like much for babies predicted to weigh eight pounds at birth, but for smaller babies, especially those born preterm, every ounce can matter.
And speaking of preterm birth, the study did not find a link between caffeine intake and delivering early (though other studies have). In fact, women with higher caffeine intakes actually increased the length of pregnancy by about five hours, on average, over women whose caffeine intakes were minimal. All by itself, drinking just 100 milligrams a day coffee was found to add eight hours to pregnancy! Why? It remains a mystery.
Does this mean it's time to downgrade caffeine intake to under 100 mg daily—or better yet, under 50 mg? According to one study author, Dr. Verena Sengpiel of the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden, "recommendations might have to be re-evaluated," though WHO, ACOG, and other groups have yet to respond.
Given all the recent research about caffeine's safety during pregnancy, Rob van Dam, an assistant professor in the department of nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, thinks it may be best to say the "jury is still out" on this one. "We know that the caffeine goes through the placenta and reaches the fetus, and that the fetus is very sensitive to caffeine; it metabolizes it very slowly. So for pregnant women it seems prudent to reduce coffee consumption to a low level, for example one cup a day," he writes in a Q&A about caffeine and pregnancy.
Of course, the best way to find out what level of caffeine consumption is safest for you during pregnancy is to bring this topic up with your own doctor or midwife. But for Colorado mom Heather Simpson, the choice to give up caffeine was easy… because her baby wasn't having any of it.
"My mornings always started with a venti Starbucks, but then morning sickness hit and this baby made it clear, 'No coffee for me!' Coffee, cola, chocolate, tea… it all made me gag, so it all went," she remembers. "My doctor's advice was to cut down to a cup of regular coffee a day, but even that was a no-go. By the time morning sickness ended, I had completely gotten over caffeine withdrawal and I just decided to stick with it."
Her baby is now nine months old, and Simpson is still caffeine-free.
"I will thank her later for helping me kick my coffee habit!"

Working on a new Investment/Loan Graph
Does it make sense? Does it do the calcs correctly? Any suggestions?
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
Hi MIF;
Very nice looking interface. So far it is doing everything correct.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I have the result, but I do not yet know how to get it.
All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians are contemptuous about proof.
hi MathsIsFun,
I'm confused. Raw? PV NPV etc ?
I looked at your interest and compound interest pages and so I think PV means 'present value'.
But you used FV for 'future value', so what is NPV ?
And why is the 2000 negative ? Does that mean it is a loan rather than an investment ?
Maybe a key to the terminology is needed. (Well, it is for dummies like me )
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself..........Galileo Galilei
MIF,nice graph.But you might need to put more info,Like what Bob said.Anyway great job
Thanks guys, will add explanations and links to relevant pages.

But cynical casino gamers have long believed that the bonus you choose in any given slot game is irrelevant because random number generator (RNG) has already determined how much it will pay out. The less jaded players always wonder if this is true or if it's something made up by bitter players who have yet to hit the big jackpot.
So the question is does your choice actually matter in the bonus rounds?
The Choice is Yours
Technically your choice does matter because you don't have the pertinent information necessary to tell you what you will win with each...
Remember that progressive jackpots at Casino.Net are available for players at several different betting levels. So don't shy away just because you prefer €0.25, because there's a jackpot with your name on it…just waiting.

We all would like to believe in a little bit of magic once in a while and the top jackpot on Aladdin's lamp can make your wishes come true. Pull the lever on this 3-pay line slot and you could win as much as €919k on €5 bets, but even lesser bets stand a chance to win €500, €193 or even €2,000!

JONESBORO—The Lakeside Warriors fell 70-51 to Jonesboro-Hodge Tuesday night as they opened their district schedule.
"It's always tough to go to Jonesboro," Lakeside head coach Jason Gould said. "They're always tough at home and it's a great basketball environment."
The game was physical and that took a toll on the Warriors.
"The referees let them play physical, and that's what happened tonight," he said. "It took us the whole first half to get use to the physical play, and by the time we adjusted in the second half, it was too late."
The Tigers built a big halftime lead and then cruised in the second half.
"The kids did all they could," Gould said. "They battled the whole way. We had some bright spots and we're working hard to get better. We've got some tough kids and they work hard."
Lance Taylor led the team with 21 points and Deandre Shehee added 10 points including three three-pointers. Jamarion Teal dropped in 11 points and had nine rebounds.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - Thursday is Heat Awareness Day in Wisconsin.
The forecast may only call for a high of around 74 degrees, but it's cool to learn about the dangers of heat. Wisconsin Emergency Management has teamed up with the National Weather Service to promote community safety and health during excessive heat.
Last year, there were 24 heat related deaths in Wisconsin, and most of them during the week of July 2nd through the 6th when the heat index rose to 105 and the overnight low only dropped to 75 degrees. None of the victims had air conditioning and did not seek shelter at a cooling center.
In 2011, excessive heat claimed five lives and injured more than 100 people in Wisconsin during the July 17-21 heatwave. In 1995, two major killer heat waves affected most of Wisconsin resulting in 154 heat-related deaths and over 300 heat-related illnesses.
Summer heat waves have been the biggest weather-related killers in Wisconsin for the past 50 years, far exceeding tornadoes, severe storms and floods combined. Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. Older adults, infants, young children, overweight persons, and people who work outdoors are most vulnerable to heat-related illness and death.
Some medications also affect how your body can handle extreme heat, so you should ask your doctor about how medicines might change your ability to deal with the hot conditions.

The Secret of Eddie Riggs' T-Shirt
Last week me and a dozen or so other games journalists attending GDC were invited to visit nearby Double Fine studios to have a look at Brütal Legend. You'll find my story, "Stranger in a Strange Land: The Intricate World of Brütal Legend" in the main feed for Crispy Gamer features. But there's some stuff that didn't make the story that I want to share with you. A special tidbit that (I hope) nobody else zeroed in on. Maybe I'm revealing a little too much about myself, but I've been thinking about Eddie Riggs' t-shirt lately. See, I've recently become enamored with the sub-genre of heavy metal called black metal. One of the defining traits of black metal bands is the way they craft their logos -- the text that makes up the band name is usually obscure in the extreme, hidden in gnarled flourish. It's like the bands don't want you to be able to learn and perhaps utter their hidden names. When the debut trailer for Brütal Legend hit the web last December I immediately noticed that Eddie Riggs was wearing a shirt emblazoned with the same kind of logo. I knew in my black metal heart that Tim Schafer wouldn't just slap a logo onto a t-shirt. There had to be something behind it -- a secret.
At Double Fine last week, standing in front of a wall plastered with the game's concept art, I posed the question. "What's the deal with the black metal logo on Eddie's shirt? Does it say something?" My suspicions were correct. But, sadly, my question will have to go unanswered. Turns out the shirt does say something. Something significant. I'll let Tim Schafer explain in his own words, "I can't tell you what Eddie's shirt says! It's an important plot point. That would be a metal spoiler."
So unless you posess the arcane ability to parse black metal helvetica, we're going to have to wait to learn just what the heck Eddie Riggs' t-shirt has to do with the fire beast Ormagöden, the demon Doviculus and the price of tea in China. Considering the lengths Schafer has gone to embed his game with metal lore, I'm hoping the revelation will be worth the wait. Or at least worth a chuckle.

"Just received these today and they customized them to fit my buffet style dinner. I love them and can not say enough good things about the product or Wedding Paper Divas."
"I got them in white and black and I asked to change the menu selection to an "attending count". I wrote an editor what I had in mind and they made it better then I thought, it was perfect, everything was amazing, the design was "clean and neat" not blurry and all, the paper quality is very good, you won't have to worry about them bending. I am very well pleased."
"Our reply cards are just perfect for our vintage nautical themed wedding! We requested some help customizing the reply cards and can't believe how fast everything was modified, approved and printed! We are so happy!"
"I ordered this on the shimmer paper and changed the floral color to Coral. Perfect for my "informal" beach wedding in March. The order was delivered exactly as appeared in the proofs and arrived even earlier than promised. There was also no issue calling and requesting additional cards when last minute additions were made to the guest list."
"We were not doing options for dinner, we were serving a BBQ dinner, so I was able to delete the options list and just put "A Texas BBQ Dinner will be served!" I also wanted to include a place for "number of guests attending" They did this for me no problem!"

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Senate's mining committee has scheduled a vote for Wednesday on a controversial bill to protect existing frac-sand mines from unexpected regulations.
Mining panels from both houses held a joint hearing on the measure Monday.
At least one supporter doubted the ability of local governments to properly keep tabs on the industry.
Critics cited a loss of local control, and the inability of communities to keep their regulations abreast with future technology.
Senate Republican Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst said he was concerned that local governments don't overregulate frac-sand mines to the point that they'll leave. He also wanted tighter limits on regulating future mines -- but as a compromise, he gave that up so existing mines won't have to worry about local rule changes down the road.

TEXOMA -- Wind, it is basically the movement of air.
Most people know about the two different types of air masses. Air flows around each of these systems clockwise around high pressure systems and counter-clockwise around low pressure systems.
But what makes the winds so strong one day and not so much the next?
It has to do with the position and strength of those pressure systems. Each system is made up of different air masses. With low pressure warm air is at the surface, with high pressure cooler air is at the surface.
If Texoma is in between a strong low pressure system off to the northwest (very warm) and a strong high pressure system to the southeast, the force of air rushing from one system to another makes the winds very strong and gusty in between where there is a large temperature difference and thus a strong pressure change over a small amount of area.
This is good for warm temperatures but bad due to the elevated fire danger.
This is the exact situation we have over Texoma Monday and Tuesday. A cold front is coming through, warm air out ahead of it with strong southwesterly winds. More chilly air to follow with winds turning to be from the north Monday night into Tuesday morning.
The strong wind is the effect of that change in pressure systems and that we are shifting from a warm air mass over Texoma Monday to a more cold or chilly air mass over Texoma for Tuesday.

Turns out the Easter Island heads have bodies, too! Archeologists discovered bodies beneath the 887 stoic faces after 12 years excavating and studying the statues.
"They're buried up to mid-torso level. So it's understandable that the general public didn't have a clue that those statues had bodies," Jo Anne Van Tilburg, director of the Easter Island Statue Project, told Fox News this week.
While experts have known for some time that much of the stone figures has been partially buried due to centuries of exposure to the elements, "this is the first time that one has been excavated in such a way that the documentation was complete and scientific," said Van Tilburg.
This is very exciting

Morgan Stanley Stock Upgraded (MS)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Get full access to Jim Cramer's thoughts for less than $3/week - sometimes before he says them on TV! Start with a 14-Day Free Trial.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 318.97% to $8,435.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, MORGAN STANLEY has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 80.34%.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Looking ahead, unless broad bear market conditions prevail, we still see more upside potential for this stock, despite the fact that it has already risen over the past year.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 27.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 25.0%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, MORGAN STANLEY underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

Kinda whacky and then at this point it's like "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....."
I bet if you took a look at the magazines he is published in, your curiosity would be answered. And even then, what if a model is chosen to shoot stuff for magazine submission- do they have to pay for that, too?
Not necessarily. When I shoot family portraits, I consult with the family to find out what look and feel they want. Maybe it's a formal setting in front of the fireplace. Maybe it's a fun and relaxed look outdoors. They then rely on my experience to make it look good, but I never come into a portrait session without asking how the paying client wants to be portrayed.
Definitely not.
This is why I was confused. A concept is someone else's vision for how they want the end product to appear. If a photographer has a vision for a creative shoot and need models for their vision then.... Im at a loss to see how or why they should get paid for that.
A photographer shooting for parties etc. are shoots for someone else's vision. Hence payment to the photographer. But if a photographer wants to shoot some pinups for their project/concept and is seeking models, payment doesnt seem to make sense. But I doubt any reputable photographer would need to do that anyway.
Nope. Shoot advertising. It is almost never your concept.
So.... Shoot my concept. Pay me. MAYBE I'll put you in a magazine. Did he also try and sell you lessons to improve your modeling skill or promise to represent you?
Sorry, no.
Anyone has the right to ask for whatever compensation she/he wants.
Everyone else has the right to accept, decline, or make a counteroffer.
Everything else doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who asks whom. It doesn't matter who had the idea originally. All that matters is whether the person wanting to get paid can find sufficient appropriate people to pay him/her.
So, if you don't want to pay him, make a counteroffer or walk away. If he can't find people to pay him, he'll figure something else out. But he's not wrong to ask to get paid.
Actually the work this person shoots is very artistic and interesting. LOTS of photoshop and fantasy stuff. Thats what drew me to the concept. But I certainly wouldnt pay for it. Not because its not good work, but because its not my idea nor anything I need for my portfolio.
I doubt that Steven Meisel or M and M charge models to be in their shoots.
Replace "shouldn't it be" with "isn't it typically" and I'd agree with you 100 percent. Typically if I have a concept, I'm going to pay the model. The posting you're referring to is atypical, which I think is your point, but anybody can make up any offer for anything, so you were smart to focus on the differences and not get sucked into something you don't seem to want to do.
Frankly this phrase is more of a red flag for me. As others have noted, ask to see the magazine and then dig into its history.
Did the artists travel/casting call mention pay or negotiable? If not, sounds like a case of an artist not being clear on what they want, who they seek and what fees/payment are involved.
Just my thoughts
Well I guess the real issue then is value...not who is responsible for the concept.
If Mario Testino or Patrick Demarchelier contacted you and offered you the opportunity to shoot with them for $300, would you even consider saying 'no' because it wasn't your concept? Probably not likely. As with most models, you'd jump at the privilege...and rightly so.
Well you can bet someone is paying them, whether it's a model/agency or a commercial client. They certainly aren't paying models or shooting unknown models TF*.
Replace "shouldn't it be" with "isn't it typically" and I'd agree with you 100 percent. Typically if I have a concept, I'm going to pay the model. The posting you're referring to is atypical, which I think is your point, but anybody can make up any offer for anything, so you were smart to focus on the differences and not get sucked into something you don't seem to want to do.
Frankly this phrase is more of a red flag for me. As others have noted, ask to see the magazine and then dig into its history.
Thanks for the advice. The key words here are atypical and typical. Also thanks for pointing out the red flag bit.
A lot of the time people are paying specifically because they want my ideas.
Sometimes it's in a bigger context that they've determined, but everything else is me.
I haven't had someone pay me to be part of an ongoing personal project.
"figured", "assumed", "thought"
While I realize that this is a general networking site, I've always treated every communication as an actual professional job. Therefore, I don't assume, figure, thought or expect anything except specifics and facts.
Part of being professional is simply stating all the important things required to know before the job is accepted. One of those important things would be, "Is this a trade or paid?" Always ask or explain clearly what you expect. And sometimes, it pays to do it twice in writing. Even if it's a phone call, my policy is - I confirm it by e-mail or letter so it's in writing. Habit ingrained by long practice.
Many questions, rants and dramas that happen in the forums could be solved by clear communications of all the points you should cover before every job.
I think you may have missed the point I was making.
Of course they don't need to charge MM models - they shoot supermodels and get paid $$$ by clients to do so!
However, for $300, the chance to shoot with either of those teams would be the bargain of the century for most models on MM.
If you are paying, the shoot should be tailored to your needs, wants, desires, concepts. If he is shooting something specific, like a personal concept, then he needs to be paying the model. You should just ignore it and move on.
Personally the two things that bother me, is when a model approaches me to want to shoot and then throws me a fee. and so the same goes with a photographer. If I am creating a personal concept, I pay the model.
Sounds like he is using some gimmick to cast models and then turns it around to charge them. Just avoid it.
Sounds like you answered a casting and he wanted money yet that he only wanted to offer you trade-term prints.
I'd walk. Sounds like this person is very confusing or out to take advantage of you.

2nd Paradise Retreat
Second Peninsula
South Shore
Katharina & Ralph Jost
Rates & Dates
$115.00 - $415.00
DescriptionSpread out over 27 acres or pastoral landscape, 2nd Paradise Retreat is the perfect location for a romantic getaway, a group gathering, or a family vacation. The property, located near Mahone Bay in the South Shore region of Nova Scotia, slopes gently down to 1,400 feet of private waterfontage. The gentle sea breeze may inspire you to test the new kite with your children on the grassy headland stretching out into the bay. At the tip of this headland, you will find the boathouse and the wharf, a perfect place for sunbathing after a refreshing swim in the glittering water. Look out on the ocean and imagine nothing but waves. Later in the day, you will find plenty of firewood for a campfire on the shore.
There is plenty to see and do in the area. The picturesque town of Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The traditional centre of shipbuilding in Atlantic Canada, Lunenburg, as well as the equally delightful Mahone Bay, offers visitors a wide range of restaurants, banks and a theatre. Here you can shop for world-famous Nova Scotia folk art, local artwork and crafts, or enjoy a traditional lobster dinner. Kayak out to greet the seals, watch the deer from your front porch, hike through fields, woods or along the shore, or simply sit in an Adirondack chair, gazing up at the star-filled night.
Our accommodations include a 6-bedroom farmhouse, circa 1850, with twin, double and queen-sized beds and two 3-piece baths with a shower. There are also two 2-bedroom cottages with a 3-piece bath with roll-in shower or a spacious 1-room loft with a 2-piece and 3-piece bath with shower. For your comfort, we have a guest laundry with a washer and broadband Internet service. Bicycles, kayaks, and rowboats are included and available upon request.

Interior Design
For the Continental GT Convertible's cockpit, Bentley's interior design team has created a cocoon of curved yet crisply-defined planes and surfaces. From the sweep of the fascia architecture, inspired by the form of the Bentley wings, to the satin-chrome dials with their white illumination, the interior of the Continental GT Convertible expresses timeless Bentley design cues with contemporary flair.
The supportive 'cobra' style seats give the cockpit a spacious ambiance and their slim line design offers easy access to the rear seats. All leather surfaces are soft-touch, yet seams and edges are precisely defined. Instrument graphics are elegant and clear; the cabin architecture has a lithe, inviting feel.
The cockpit of the Continental GT Convertible has been designed to provide tactile and visual delight, together with outstanding levels of comfort. These are the hallmarks of a true Bentley grand tourer.

Press Release University of Arkansas:
University of Arkansas sophomoreRegina Plasencia and senior Emily Tubert both carded two-under 69's leading theNo. 18 Razorback women's golf team to a first round 282 and second place at the17th Annual Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate at Cherokee Country Clubin Knoxville, Tenn., Friday.
The duo are tied for thirdoverall helping Arkansas into second place, just three strokes behind day-oneleader South Carolina who is in the clubhouse with 279.
"We had a solid start today,"Arkansas head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor said. "Regina played so well andEmily had good start for us. I think Summar was the key for us today. Wehad to get one in the house in that fourth spot and she fought for every shotand it was the difference in our round. Emma would have liked to haveshot better but she'll bounce back.

The Medical Coding Alignment was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents on March 16, 2011.
Colleges are granted one year from the approval date to implement the alignment.
In spring 2012 KBOR staff became aware that AHIMA is temporarily not accepting new Medical Coding programs for accreditation or designation as AHIMA approved Medical Coding programs. . Effective immediately, all Kansas approved programs are temporarily waived from being an AHIMA approved program until further notice. However, the expectation that students will sit for the CCA examination and attain the credential remains.
Candidates wishing to take the CCA examination are eligible to sit for the exam even if the program is not AHIMA approved. However, according to the AHIMA website, "effective March 31, 2012, the CCA exam will require the 2012 version of the ICD-9 and CPT codebooks..." In addition, "The CCA exam is based on ICD-9-CM codes effective October 1, 2011 and CPT codes are effective as of January 1, 2012. Only the American Medical Association CPT codebook is permitted. HCPCS II codebooks and IC-9-CM codebooks containing HCPCS national level II codebooks are not permitted for this examination."
State Business and Industry Committee Recommendation:
The State Business and Industry Committee for Medical Coding recommended the following industry credentials for all Medical Coding programs:
1. Preferred credential: CPC (Certified Professional Coder), CPC-H (P) coding of physician services in a hospital setting – these are both offered through AAPC – physician coding only – no facilities coding. CCA (Certified Coding Associate) or CCS (Certified Coding Specialist) – certifications offered through AHIMA – equipment and facilities coding but no physician based coding.
2. Kansas WORKReady! Certificate Silver Level (4), although a Gold Level (5) is preferred.
