Brad Womack: I'm Gonna Find a Wife This Time!by Free Britney at . Comments
Brad Womack is not playing around. This time he's in it to win it.
It being true love, marriage, and everlasting devotion to his wife.
The new/old star of The Bachelor says he's a different man than he was in 2007 when he nixed both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft – and wants America to know it.
It was a moment that has haunted Brad Womack ever since.
On The Bachelor's 11th season finale, he let both women go because he just wasn't feeling it. Widespread fan outrage followed, though ratings only climbed since.
ABC's controversial decision to bring him back to star in the coming 15th season doesn't faze him. "I've changed," he tells People. "I'm ready to meet someone."
Brad Womack admits taking another crack at love on reality TV may seem risky, and admits he was a "commitment-phobe." But he wants you to give him a chance.In the three years between the infamous finale and becoming The Bachelor star again, he underwent "intensive therapy" to help determine "where I went wrong."
While he says he would stand by his convictions and potentially choose no one again, Brad says he is approaching things differently now, making that less likely.
He went to therapy to see "how I could fix myself, how I could change things I need to change ... I want to come home to a beautiful family and provide for them."
Are you glad he's going to have that opportunity?
Having him come back is a waste. He has the audacity to be choicy,as if he thinks that he is a prized catch.This goofball ain't that good looking,and don't seem to have anything going for himself,that's why he has the time to come back to the show,evidently because no one out there in the real world would give him the time of day. All the time that he has been off the show,and still have to return to try and find his lady love,make him as eligible as corn on a cob. I wonder about the 2 dozen women coming on the show to get his attention. Only a group of desperate rejects would gamble their dignity in the ** hopes of being choosen by this cad.

The ninth Tenth Street connector was officially renamed Roosevelt Brown Boulevard Wednesday.
Brown is from our area and earned a spot in the pro football Hall of Fame as a New York Giant.

The mayor also presented Brown's wife the key to the city.

In its latest effort to put to rest the years-long controversy that has swirled around its efforts to address excessive electricity production during periods when high winds coincide with high water in the Columbia River system, the Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") recently issued a draft Record of Decision ("ROD") allocating the costs of such events. While wind generators argued for allocating all such costs to BPA's power customers and BPA's power customers urged BPA to assign all such costs to its transmission customers, BPA chose a third path. In the recent draft ROD, issued by newly-minted BPA Administrator Elliot Mainzer, BPA concluded that it should allocate oversupply costs to those generators operating within its balancing authority area that have scheduled power during an oversupply event. BPA's chosen alternative was supported by only one out-of-region entity, so it is unlikely to end either the controversy or the protracted litigation that has resulted.
As we have previously reported, the oversupply problem is an unintended consequence of the rapid expansion of wind generation in the Pacific Northwest. The wind fleet's capacity in the region now exceeds 7,000 MW, with 4,500 operating in BPA's balancing authority area. The oversupply problem arises when strong spring winds coincide with high spring runoff in the Columbia River Basin. In this situation, the combined electric power produced by federal dams on the Columbia River and wind generators in the region can exceed electrical loads. Further, the obligation to maintain dissolved gases within limits set by environmental authorities in order to avoided gas bubble trauma in fish (especially endangered salmon and steelhead runs), limits the amount of water dam operators can release over spillways, which adds to dissolved gas loads, requiring them instead to run the water through generators.
Prior to the rise of wind generation, BPA managed this problem by displacing the region's thermal generation, allowing thermal generators to back down or shut off, while providing free or nearly-free power from federal dams to meet those generators' load obligations. This approach does not work with wind generators, however, because they lose Production Tax Credits tied to amounts produced when generation is curtailed, and wind generation customers may also lose Renewable Energy Credits needed to meet Renewable Portfolio Standards such as Washington's Initiative 937.
When BPA initially faced an oversupply problem in the spring and early summer months of 2011, its first attempt at managing the problem, dubbed "Environmental Redispatch," required wind generators to curtail generation to keep power production balanced with loads while also allowing federal dam operators to comply with dissolved gas limits. The losses suffered by wind generators provoked them to file a complaint at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission arguing that BPA violated the non-discrimination provisions of Section 211A of the Federal Power Act by forcing wind generators to curtail production while federal generators were not curtailed. FERC agreed and, for the first time, applied Section 211A to assert jurisdiction over BPA.
BPA responded by adopting an "Oversupply Management Protocol," which compensates generators for losses suffered when they are forced to curtail generation. Under the Oversupply Management Protocol, BPA proposed to split the costs incurred for curtailment 50-50, with half the costs to be paid by BPA's power customers and half to be paid by wind generators. While FERC accepted much of BPA's approach in the Oversupply Management Protocol, it rejected the 50-50 cost-spreading proposal, concluding that this would disproportionately burden wind generators.
The new BPA ROD, issued after a proceeding to establish "oversupply" rates under the Northwest Power Act, attempts to satisfy FERC's concerns. BPA reasons that oversupply costs are caused by both the presence of a large wind fleet within its balancing authority and the need for its power system to meet environmental obligations. Further, BPA reasons, it incurs oversupply costs when power is scheduled to move across its transmission system during an oversupply event and it must curtail that power to keep its system within applicable reliability and environmental limits. The result is to require BPA's power customers, wind generators, and thermal generators all to bear a share of oversupply costs. BPA staff estimates that, if BPA's new policy had been in place during the 2012, BPA's federal power generation would have paid 72% of oversupply management costs, and wind generators and thermal generators would each have borne 14% of the costs. In light of this outcome, further litigation can be expected at BPA, at FERC, and in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
If you have any questions about BPA, the Columbia River and its water resources, water quality regulation, or other matters related to energy, natural resources, or the environment, please contact a member of GTH's Energy, Telecommunications, and Utilities practice group or Environment & Natural Resources practice group. We're proud that our partner Jim Waldo was recently named 2013 Lawyer of the Year for Energy and Natural Resources Law, and practice group members Don Cohen, Bill Lynn, and Brad Jones were all named among Seattle's Best Lawyers.

Oh Cheryl Ann....I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you warm hugs from afar.ReplyDelete
That is so sad to lose a beloved dog after only nine years. My heart goes out to you. I can understand why you were feeling just numb after that.ReplyDelete
Our (well, really she was mine) beloved dog, a border collie/ Australian shepherd/mutt, died just before she turned 14 and I cried for three days. So I completely empathize with anyone whose pet dies.
I hope your 2012 is a good one for you and your husband.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/22/2014Our server was terrific-she explained every dish we were ordering -asked our preferences on spices, and recommended dishes she thought we would enjoy-she was right on the mark-her name is Susie -she was wonderfulSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood fine diningNJMotherof2Dined on 11/21/2014I was surprised by how nice it was decorated when I walked in. We were 3 and had a nice window table, but i did notice other tables in the middle of the room were way to close together for my liking, I wouldn't want to sit there. The food was amazing, all three of us enjoyed it. We all ordered from the Thai dinner menu. The waitress you could tell was new, but someone was training her and we didn't mind, everyone has to learn. While we were there someone celebrated a birthday, it was so funny a song through the loud speaker and a hat was put on the birthday person. So if you like that kind of attention on your birthday that is the place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CozyDined on 11/14/2014Have been here multiple times but dining experience was poor this time. Grilled steak asked for medium and served well done 2x. Sushi delux had no yellow tail despite asked for it before ordering Pad thai amateurish.
- Food Quality Suffers When BusyOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 11/1/2014We've generally had very good meals here. but this time, a Saturday night, their were many problems with the food. The lettice wraps appetizer as well as my wife's shrimp entree came out barely warm. The complimentary chips were served very oily. When we mentioned this to our waiter she said that the restaurant was so busy that the kitchen didn't have enough time to drain the chips properly after frying. The Pad Thai was missing many of the flavor elements I have been accustomed to. I think they left out a few ingredients. I also asked for it to be extremely spicy and without the ground peanuts. It came out with little spice and with a nice side of ground peanuts. Our waiter, however, was excellent.
- slow on serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/1/2014our waitress was extremely slow, and had to be reminded many times to bring more chips ,and my ice tea.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/25/2014Nice atmosphere Good food Friendly staff Gave us a nice tableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum.zia0428Dined on 10/18/2014The food was excellent, the only reason I gave it 3 stars was due to the service. We made reservations and were sat right away, however we weren't assigned a server, the staff was very confused. It also took at least 45 minutes to get our entree, we did not order apps just a meal. I noticed a table that sat about 10 minutes after we did received their apps and entree before we received ours.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood restaurantRobertaVIPDined on 10/10/2014We've twice recently because we enjoyed the food so much the first time. The menu has a lot to offer and the sushi was terrific. Also, the waitress was very sweet and attentive. It's great to have another good restaurant close to home. There are so few.Special Features:
- Great FoodFoodie59Dined on 10/10/2014A great byob restaurant, I find the quality and selection of food here to be excellent. Pricing is moderate and not terribly overboard for the quality of the dishes and the service is exceptional. I have never had a bad meal here not have I ever been disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Thai and sushiBigEasyDined on 10/10/2014Enjoyed great sushi and wonderful Thai food in a great setting. If going for sushi, check specials. Godzilla roll awesome.Special Features:
- Great discoveryfoodseekerDined on 10/4/2014We were in the mood for Thai, we normally drive to Morristown to visit Origin (also Thai/French) and decided to give Aoyama a try. It's an upbeat place, moderate noise, but lively. They seated us immediately. Service throughout the night was friendly - not always fast but all staff were pleasant and helpful. We like Origin quite a bit so that was our basis for comparison. I found the selection of Thai dishes slightly better, but unlike Origin there is a full Japanese menu as well. A big plus. The food was flavorful, and prepared perfectly. We had Softshell Crab, Red Curry Duck, and Mussels. They were all good, but the duck was outstanding and the red curry was very spicy with great flavor. This is my new go to Thai restaurant...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- fantastic foodaverageguyDined on 9/27/2014Everything was great from the "fantastic" appropriately named sushi roll to the fried scallops, - everything was so delicious.Special Features:
- Great Food, Ambience, too packedvasuviusDined on 9/13/2014The restaurant is spacious and well decorated in a classy but comfortable way. I did feel that the could do with fewer tables. The 2 person tables were crammed right next to each other and at times it felt like we were having dinner in a large group at a large table. The service was fantastic - very courteous and prompt without any hovering. The food was very good. We order miso soups, the shrimp satay, the London Winter roll, and a Hong Kong sauteed noodle curry with coconut milk and tofu. The shrimp stay was a bit dry but everything else was fantastic. The size of the roll was huge. The price point is a bit high but the ample food proportion makes up for it if one shares everything family style. And as always, BYOB is a big plusSpecial Features:
- Truly a hidden gem!lovefoodVIPDined on 9/9/2014Food: food was absolutely delicious, presentation was beautiful and sushi was very creative. Service was outstanding, very attentive and professional. It's a hidden gym because once you step inside it's a beautiful restaurant that's located within the strip mall. The place is deceivingly large for its location. Beautifully decorated too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MDontheroadDined on 8/23/2014You can always rely on good fresh food..we are never disappointedSpecial Features:
- GeppettoDined on 8/23/2014First time visit. Seated promptly with a friendly greeting. Waited awhile for the waitress to take order but not uncomfortably long. Food was above average. Served hot with attention to details in presentation. The sushi appy was terrific. The sea bass was done perfectly and very tasty. Our friend had the curried duck which was done to perfection. Definitely going back.Special Features:

We will continue to be customers at this lovely restaurant!Special Features:

- ADD TO THE LISTMEXMAYADined on 7/18/2014Good neighborhood restaurant. Great food..they got alot going on the menu but very tasty and delicious. It's of the beaten path but I definitely added to my list of restaurants for good eats and good vibes.Special Features:
- Our go-to choiceHotel299Dined on 7/14/2014Aoyama is the place we choose for reliably good fresh food, friendly service and enjoyable atmosphere. It is where I discovered the wonders of sushi, yet there are plenty of choices for the non-sushi crowd as well. I find the hours convenient and, once inside, all thoughts of 'strip mall' vanish.Special Features:
- Thai-Loving It!AChickWithTaste14Dined on 7/5/2014I've been here a few times and every appetizer, dish I've had was outstanding! The dishes are packed with flavor, and for those who enjoy sushi, you'll get your fill. My most recent visit seemed a bit delayed waiting for our server to come to our table.... that was a first.....wasn't crazy busy.... but hopefully that will be the last time. Overall, this place is a gem tucked away!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChrisKyleVIPDined on 7/4/2014Hidden gem. The food was fantastic and the sushi was very fresh. Can't wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner at AoyamaOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/4/2014Went to dinner Fri. nite at Aoyama. Opted for 3 appetizers instead of appetizer/entree. Tuna dumplings were superb. Combined this with salmon carpaccio & tuna tacos. All dishes were creative & extremely fresh & appropriately portioned. My husband had the foie gras appetizer special which he enjoyed & crispy whole fish which was also expertly prepared. Pleasantly surprising choice of dishes in a local restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Asian Food At Its BestDGJxVIPDined on 6/25/2014You can mix and match among Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. And it's all good.
- foodiefoodieDined on 6/23/2014the food and ambience at Aoyama is very pleasing. The wait staff is very efficient, knows their products and very friendlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Father's Day!DooleyDined on 6/15/2014We had a nice meal here for Father's Day. My husband loves their sushi. One daughter joined him in a sushi roll she said was delicious. This our fourth time here and we will definitely return. The service was great, folks are real nice, and I like the decor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bunskiDined on 6/9/2014Our dinner was delicious, perfectly served. Aoyama is the perfect place to go for a special dinner. The weekends can get crowded, but our weekday dinner was perfect.Special Features:
- ServiceAtmosphericDined on 6/2/2014Service was impeccable - friendly, attentive and accommodating! Our large group felt welcomed ...and most of us thoroughly enjoyed the food. The ones that didn't - just felt they ordered the wrong dish - such as tempura was not the favorite and some found the California roll lacking... We would definitely visit the restaurant again.Special Features:
- Great HospitalityOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/15/2014From the moment we walked into Aoyama, the service was excellent. We were greeted enthusiastically by the hostesses and promptly seated. As we were reviewing the menu, the restaurant manager came over to say hello (and recognized me from a previous visit enough to say "nice to see you again..."). Warmed wipes were delivered along with the tasty, free "pre-appetizer" to kick off our dining experience. The group represented very different tastes/ experiences with Thai/ Japanese food, however, everyone within our group enjoyed the variety of appetizers (curry puffs, peking duck wraps & spring rolls) before our main courses. The food was delicious! We were never rushed and only made to feel welcomed). Great experience!Special Features:
- mother's daynspMDDined on 5/11/2014We were seated right away ! Food and service was excellent. Only con was the crème brulee was not to our taste.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Thai and JapaneseHungryNuckyDined on 5/11/2014We came to Aoyama for Mother's Day and had a great meal. For 4 of us, we started with 2 sushi roll specials to share as well as the soft shell crab. The fantastic roll was great and everything was very fresh. For dinner I had the green curry from the Thai menu which was perfectly sweet and spicy and came with the best sticky brown rice I've had. My parents both had the miso sea bass over soba and bok choy which was fresh and cooked perfectly. My brother had grilled squid which was tender and tasty and came with (again) this amazing sticky rice that was wrapped in a banana leaf making it almost like a dumpling. The owner is always walking around shaking hands with customers. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MangiaMangiaDined on 5/3/2014I've found the quality of the food was very good as well as the service. The lunch menu has a wide variety of different choices to choose from and the prices are great. They range from $10-14. So I thought I'd give it a shot for dinner. The duck crepe appetizer was tasty but ice cold. It was advertised under hot appetizers. So not to make a stink I just ate it. Same goes for the dinner entre. I ordered the Duck and it also was cold and dry. My wife ate a soft shell crab for her dinner, which was from the house specials of the evening from the appetizer list and it was fried like cardboard. Based on this, we will not be going back for dinner anytime soon. But I would go back for lunch as crazy as that sounds.Special Features:
- TCHOHOKUSweeklydinnerDined on 4/26/2014Great place for dinner, my husband and I just love the food here, we go almost every week. We love the ambiance, the Mangers are really great. If we don't have reservations they try to accommodate us. The Japanese side of the menu and presentation is fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food! Great serviceChristineDined on 4/26/2014I've eaten here twice in the past 10 days and have been completely satisfied both times. The first time was with three girlfriends on a weeknight to celebrate a birthday and the second time was with another couple for dinner on a Saturday night. Both times, the food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Our servers made great recommendations both nights and were very friendly, attentive and helpful.Special Features:
- Excellent as always!TurtleDreamVIPDined on 4/23/2014This has become one of my favorite restaurant to enjoy while in New Jersey. I met a friend that I hadn't seen in quite sometime for dinner. The meal was excellent as well as service. However, I did feel that we were being rushed a bit due to the frequency that our server came by our table. I'll certainly go back but felt a bit rushed...Special Features:
- Terrific Dining ExperienceChristineDined on 4/17/2014Went with a small group of women for a friend's 50th birthday. We had a great time! Food was delicious, service was top-notch, both in their attentiveness and also with recommendations and explanations. Will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

11 Secrets to a Skinnier Summer Party
Hosting a summer soirée? These expert tricks for healthy food will keep your bash fun, delicious, and ensure guests won't feel as if they need to go for a walk after dinner.
By Ava Feuer
Get wet
Summer heat — and extra booze — may make you mistake thirst for hunger, says Ashley Koff, RD. instead of relying on water to keep you hydrated, plan a fiber-filled party menu since these kinds of foods hold on to more water. Assemble a beautiful plate full of fresh-cut farmer's market veggies with seasoned sea salt for dipping, or stuff pureed beans into lettuce "burritos" along with plenty of crunchy, bite-size veggies for a healthy and colorful spread.

Commonwealth Transfer Advisory Group
Final Report
The Board of Higher Education accepted the Final Report from the Commonwealth Transfer Advisory Group in June 2008, with the primary recommendation being the creation of a single, statewide transfer system to create a more seamless path for students transferring into and between public colleges and universities in Massachusetts. The policy recommendation would integrate and replace a range of existing transfer programs to help college students switch schools without losing academic credits. The Department of Higher Education is working to implement this transfer system, MassTransfer, by fall 2009.
The Board of Higher Education established the Commonwealth Transfer Advisory Group to:
- Evaluate the Commonwealth's current policies and practices;
- Diagnose barriers associated with transfer;
- Compare and assess policies and practices enacted in other states;
- Recommend policies and practices to remedy transfer barriers; and
- Identify costs associated with proposed solutions.

After a long awkward cab ride, I walked into the hospital expecting to be sent home. I was still sure I was experiencing Braxton-Hicks contractions. I was so completely wrong — it only took my new doctor a matter of moments to realize I was in active labor. He explained to me that what I was experiencing was preterm labor and the symptoms that I ignored all morning were the early warning signs. The pressure and mild cramps that I woke up to were actually mild contractions. The blood in my underwear was not spotting. All morning I kept telling myself that I was fine because I was only 26 weeks pregnant and having a perfect pregnancy. I hadn't had any morning sickness or a sore back or swollen feet — preterm labor happens to other women. People with medical problems and older women — not to me.
My new doctor told me he was glad I came in when I did because I was already completely effaced and starting to dilate. He was going to start the procedure to slow and hopefully stop my contractions, which would give my unborn twins much needed time. Unfortunately, as my contractions got closer together my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and stayed that way.
My memory of this time is pretty foggy and mostly consists of scary words like NICU, brain bleeds, respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, and survival rates. All I remember is being wheeled out of my room by a group of people in surgical gowns, a nurse asking me if I knew what was going on (which I didn't) and a different doctor in a surgical mask saying "I'm not bringing 26-weekers into this world if I don't have to." Unfortunately, I have no real memories of those few hours so I am missing the details of what happened in the delivery room.
My nurse gave me the first round of corticosteroids to hasten fetal lung development and I was prepped for an IV of magnesium to stop the contractions. She warned me of the possible side effects: nausea, vomiting, pain, or — in my case — veins of fire! This is about the time my husband came running into the room. My amazing nurse called him and told him what was going on and advised him to leave work and get to the hospital. I was so sure that this was false labor that I never even told my husband I was going to the hospital!
After a few days with no more contractions I was taken off the magnesium IV. However, my latest ultrasound showed that I basically had "no cervix left" (my doctor's exact words). It was decided that I needed to stay in the hospital until I delivered — which was hopefully not for ten more weeks. They feared labor would come on just as fast as it did earlier that week, so I stayed in bed with nothing to do but read borrowed Chelsea Handler books, watch Law and Order reruns, and worry.
Flash forward a few days and it started all over again. At 6:30 am I noticed I was bleeding and the monitor was picking up small contractions. By 9am I was wheeled down the hallway to the surgery/ delivery room. I was going to deliver my twins at 27 weeks and 2 days — whether I was ready or not.
Luckily for me, the amazing nurse from the first day was with me in the delivery room. Remembering that I had mentioned how much I wanted a vaginal delivery she talked the doctor into letting me try. While I was waiting on the cold surgical table, moaning in pain, she grabbed my hand and said, "Your body knows how to do this. I know it hurts but you need to look at me and breathe. Relax your muscles. Let your uterus do all the work." She then pulled a nursing student over and told her to hold my hand until my husband got there.
Just as I was about to start pushing my husband comes running into the delivery room. He was just in time because three pushes later Baby A, my daughter, was born (weighing in at 2 pounds 4 ounces). She was whisked away to the NICU before I could get a look at her. Our doctor immediately started having me push for Baby B. Unfortunately, he flipped sideways and became tangled in my pelvis and the doctor was unable to turn him. The entire room went quiet and someone said, "This is going to hurt" and a cloth was thrown over my face (I was later told it was my gown).
Six minutes later my son was born via emergency c-section weighing 2 lbs 2 oz and brought immediately to the NICU. My husband says that at about the time my gown was put over my face he was told to sit down and he was wheeled across the room towards the door. He only remembers hearing me yell "sweet Jesus," which does sound like something I'd say, and then being told to wait in the lobby.After a brief and traumatic recovery room stay I was wheeled upstairs to the NICU to finally meet my babies. The story of their NICU stay is a long one and for a different time. Piecing together their birth story has helped me start to deal with the trauma and guilt. I have since learned to accept that my babies' early birth wasn't my fault and that I am not the only one who doesn't know the early warning signs of preterm labor — I can also assure you that if we decide to have more children I won't make the mistake of ignoring my body again.
For more information about the warning signs of preterm labor and for good advice on how to describe what you're feeling to your doctor, look over this March of Dimes fact sheet.

He just had to get a little creative is all. A lot of people say that trading is their passion but when push comes to shove they'd give it up in a second if A) they lost their Bloomberg terminal and B) a judge ordered them to do so. Neither of these things were going to hold James Michael Murray down. Read more »

Indicted Hedge Fund Manager Wasn't Going To Let A Little Wire Fraud, Money Laundering, Identity Theft Charges Keep Him From Doing What He LovesBy Bess Levin
- Looking up laws regarding tinted windows
- Coming up with a better disguise than James Lipton Meets Dave Navarro
- Straying a bit further than two hours from his house, or to a place where local cops wouldn't be able to recognize him, even with the aforementioned disguise
Remember David Miller? Rochdale Securites trader who masterminded a scam that involved the "unauthorized purchase of about $1 billion in Apple stock," which he claimed was for a client (a lie)? Forget to dot a few essential i's and cross a few crucial t's in the scheme, which contributed to its failure and left the firm in a "negative capital position"? Robbed the universe of Dick Bové research for a time? Which thankfully turned out to be a very short amount of time, i.e. the period between Bové's resignation from Rochdale and the announcing of the winner of the Dick Bové Sweepstakes? Yeah, he's going to jail. Read more »

Tiger Asia's Founder Is Happy To Have Learned His Lesson Re: Wire Fraud And Insider TradingBy Bess Levin
Earlier today, Bill Hwang, the founder of the Tiger Cub's Asia-based branch, Tiger Asia, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and agreed to fork over $44 million to make allegations by the SEC of insider trading in Chinese bank stocks go away. According to Hwang, his firm "regrets the actions for which is accepts responsibility today and is grateful that this matter is now resolved." According to SEC director of enforcement Robert Khuzami, who we would love to consider a side job writing fables for children about foxes who trade on unreleased information about clinical trials of Alzheimer's drugs and take advantage of innocent hens,* Hwang was a very bad boy and should serve as a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about breaking the law.

Welcome To Kingdom & Priests.
Welcome to our website. I hope over the coming months and years it will become a resource for you to become who God has called you to be and you will grow more into the Knowledge of Jesus who has called you.
In Revelation 1v 6 John tells us that Jesus has made us to be a Kingdom and Priests (NIV) to serve His God and Father, by his blood. This was a result of what he saw in Revelation 5 v 10. John was able to look into the coming age and tell us what he saw, Peter likewise saw and called us a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2 v 9). Many times Jesus seemed to be in two places at once. He told his disciples he only did what he saw His Father doing. He always talked about the Kingdom coming but also displayed it whilst here.
For many years now I have been involved in prophetic ministry in several countries and sometimes the biggest complaint about prophetic people is that they are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good! Likewise most prophetic people would argue that some people are so earthbound it would take a bomb to move them! Both are right of course.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Jets have promoted Tony Sparano Jr. to offensive assistant, and added former safety Eric Smith as a seasonal intern.
Sparano, whose father served as the Jets' offensive coordinator in 2012, spent the last two seasons with New York as a seasonal intern. The former University of Albany defensive end was an assistant defensive line coach with the UFL's Hartford Colonials in 2010, and served as an offensive quality control coach with the Miami Dolphins in 2011.
Smith was a third-round pick of the Jets in 2006, and played all seven of his NFL seasons with New York. He had six interceptions and 3½ sacks while also playing a key role on the Jets' special teams unit.
The Jets announced the moves on Monday.

text: Weird work from Wicked Witch – tunes that are half funky, half punky – with a mysterious sound that's all their own! At some level, Wicked Witch might be an offshoot of the P-Funk empire – a lost mission to a dark planet way out in the galaxy – trapped out there on their own, and slowly losing touch with the original groove of the Mothership as they mess around with heavy basslines, spacey keyboards, and some very stark rhythms – sometimes played live, sometimes from a drum machine. There's a bit of vocals in the mix, but they're usually second-tier next to the rhythms – which themselves take plenty of weird twists and turns. Billed as "evil psycho machine funk" – which is a pretty accurate description! Titles include "Fancy Dancer", "Erratic Behaviour", "X Rated", "Vera's Back", and "Electric War (inst)". CD features bonus tracks "Fancy Dancer (previously unreleased rmx)", and "Electric War (voc)". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.
