Jonathan Coachman
Real Name
Jonathan Coachman
Date of Birth
August 12, 1972
Place of Birth
A video of Eric Young and Abyss fighting one another in a Monster's Ball match on Impact Wrestling. This was done by TNA to give the world heavyweight champion some more credibility and to get fans to buy that he is not just a comedy gimmick.
April 21, 2014
A video from Smackdown of Bray Wyatt threatening to go extreme on John Cena. The belief is that WWE will be continuing the feud between the two performers, and a gimmick match at Extreme Rules 2014 is being heavily considered.
April 14, 2014
A video teasing the return of Bo Dallas to the main roster. WWE attempted to bring him up once, but they quickly changed their mind and sent him back down to developmental for further training. WWE will be using the "Bo-lieve" gimmick that he helped him gain a following down in WWE NXT.
April 10, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, fans have noticed that Fandango has been absent from WWE television shows. That naturally lead to some rumors about his release. The dancing star is just fine. Fandango revealed that he has modified his gimmick a bit and will be making his return at the Survivor Series 2014 kickoff show. His character will also be picking up Rosa Mendes as his new valet.
November 18, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw this week, saw an interesting video that showcased a repackaged Xavier Woods. While the new gimmick has drawn some criticism from certain fans, it has also sparked curiosity about the long rumored stable with Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. The latter two were not featured in the video. There is still a chance that WWE repackages Kingston and Langston as well.
November 4, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of business news, the Honky Tonk Man has revealed that he owns the trademark to the Patriot gimmick, which was used in WCW and WWE. He stated that he has owned it since 2007, which means that Del Wilkes, who has continued to use the gimmick on the independent wrestling circuit over the years, could be legally forced to find a new character to portray.
November 1, 2014
During a recent interview, Maxine revealed something very interesting that took place backstage in WWE. She stated that while she was working in the developmental program, she pitched an idea to management about her character and story line. About a day later, Maxine noticed that Aksana had been given that very gimmick that she had pitched to company officials.
October 31, 2014
Anyone that has followed WWE for a couple of years already knows that things are pretty hectic from January through April. It looks like management is looking to alleviate some of the clutter by removing the Elimination Chamber pay per view. Vince McMahon still loves the gimmick, however, so the cage match might be moved towards the summer or fall.
October 26, 2014
There were rumors floating around not too long ago that Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were going to work in the gigantic steel structure at Hell in a Cell 2014, but it looks like WWE has opted against that. The story simply is not heated enough for the two of them to work such a gimmick match, and there are a lot of concerns about performance and safety.
October 9, 2014
Back in 2011, WWE needed a marketing gimmick for the Royal Rumble, so the company decided to add another ten competitors and brand the event as being the biggest ever. Management is going back to the well again for Royal Rumble 2015. Vince McMahon and company have decided to go with a 40 man battle royal this time around, and a lot of surprise appearances are expected.
October 8, 2014
During a recent and rare interview, Tito Santana bashed WWE for not pushing his El Matador gimmick. He stated that he was not initially crazy about the idea, but he was still dedicated enough to travel down to Mexico to learn to be an actual bullfighter. Santana felt that the gimmick was very much over with the audience, so he feels that WWE missed an opportunity by not pushing him into the main event scene.
October 6, 2014
Some crazy rumors are floating around right now about Nikki Bella and Brie Bella competing in a Hell in a Cell match at Hell in a Cell 2014. WWE is extremely unlikely to do this because they do want their female performers in gimmick matches that might cause severe injury, but the rumors have some merit because it was revealed by an insider who has accurately broken the news on a couple of things in the past.
September 29, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
It looks like the feud between Chris Jericho and Bray Wyatt will be continuing for another month. As of right now, WWE has the two of them penciled in for some sort of gimmick match at Night of Champions 2014. Each man has a victory on pay per view against the other, but the belief is that Jericho will be putting Wyatt over before taking off to focus on his music again.
August 19, 2014
After 17 years of portraying the character, Kane might be receiving a new gimmick soon. Rumors have been floating around that he might be bringing the Jacob Goodnight character from the See No Evil movie series to WWE television. The belief is that management wanted to make it easier to promote the film. Some feel that the story line started when Kane handed over his mask to Stephanie McMahon on the last episode of Monday Night Raw.
August 7, 2014
While the company would probably never admit it, there are those that believe that WWE is simply setting up Alexander Rusev for a potential feud with Kurt Angle. The Olympic gold medalist has openly talked about leaving TNA and returning to WWE for quite some time now. His patriotic gimmick would be a perfect foil for the evil pro Russian character.
August 3, 2014
Since he has shown a willingness to not only do what is asked of him but to actually put in great effort in doing so, Damien Sandow has been earning a good amount of praise backstage by his peers in WWE. They are impressed by the fact that he has not grown frustrated with the new gimmick. Unfortunately for Sandow, though, management does not feel that he deserves a real push at the moment.
July 28, 2014
While he receives a bad rap from a lot of fans due to WWE giving him a heavyweight championship run a couple of years back, Miz is actually very much a student of the game. He has remained motivated despite not being given a push in a while. Miz has also been studying legendary actor Andy Kaufman, who will forever have a place in wrestling history thanks to his memorable story line with Jerry Lawler during the 1980s, so that he can improve his gimmick and character.
July 19, 2014
Rumors going around right now is that the impersonation gimmick that Damien Sandow has been doing is basically a way for the creative department to appease Vince McMahon, who has been known to find humor in stuff like this. To his credit, Sandow has embraced the role, in hopes that it will convince WWE to finally give him the push that he deserves.
July 7, 2014
By now, it's already clear to many that Triple H wants to put Roman Reigns over and make him a main event performer in WWE. However, that might not necessarily be happening overnight. Rumors are floating around that their big match will take place at Summerslam 2014. That might not be the last one. The belief is that this feud will be stretched out and could possible involve a big gimmick match of some sort before the year ends.
July 7, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
While it has yet to reach television, the heel turn for the Miz has been going for a couple of weeks now at WWE live events. It also appears that he will be given a new gimmick to work with upon his return to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Miz has been testing out a new heel persona, where he plays a cocky movie star. It's a play on real life, as the former WWE champion recently completed a new film.
June 22, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, Renee Young has been moving up the ladder quite a bit in WWE. The belief is that the company is trying to appease her after finding out that ESPN was interested in bringing the beautiful blonde over to their network. The company had already lost Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham to the sports network. They don't want to lose Young as well. There are those backstage that even believe that Vince McMahon could allow her to become a commentator on Smackdown or Monday Night Raw, in order to keep her from bolting.
July 10, 2014
During the NBA Draft last night, an analyst from ESPN took a jab at WWE. He stated a drafted player needed "to get the WWE out of him". The analyst clarified the statement by saying that the player needed more maturity before he can become a star. While it may be unrelated, Jonathan Coachman, who now works for ESPN, recently revealed that his negotiations with WWE went downhill and the deal is now completely off the table.
June 27, 2014
Earlier in the year, rumors sparked that Jonathan Coachman was going to be returning to WWE to work on some projects with the company. The ESPN broadcaster confirmed those rumors by teasing it on Twitter. Well, it looks like the deal is off. Coachman insinuated that WWE did not want him enough. Since Vince McMahon has been trying to cut cost, the belief is that the company simply could not afford to bring him back.
June 26, 2014
An interesting thing took place on SportsCenter last night. Two former WWE performers were the host. Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham, who have grown to become best of friends, were the anchors. It was the first time in two years that these two have done hosting duties together on ESPN. There are still rumors that Coachman is working on something with WWE in the near future.
May 28, 2014
If things go as expected, then Renee Young is expected to follow in the footsteps of Todd Grisham and Jonathan Coachman, two former WWE on screen personalities who ended up with ESPN. The sports network has heavy interest in Renee right now, as executives there have been impressed with how well she has performed for WWE.
April 18, 2014
It appears that WWE will soon be receiving more coverage on ESPN, as some sort of deal is being finalized between the two sides. Jonathan Coachman, who dropped hints earlier about the deal, will be heavily involved, as he has worked for both companies. Wrestlemania 30 and Summerslam 2014 will be receiving a good amount of coverage.
April 5, 2014
While there are not a lot of details available at the moment, Jonathan Coachman, who is now working as an ESPN anchor after years in the professional wrestling industry, has teased an upcoming announcement that involves WWE through his Twitter account. Interestingly enough, the official WWE.com website did a feature on him this week.
March 26, 2014
While there were some people within the network that were pushing to make the move happen, ESPN is not interested in bringing WWE programming to their channels. The belief is that Jonathan Coachman would have had some sort of involvement had they decided to get into the bidding wars to bring Vince McMahon and his product on board.
March 6, 2014
While he has moved on with his life and secured his dream job with ESPN, Jonathan Coachman still looks into professional wrestling once in a while. In this Twitter post, he mentioned Betty White being in WWE and how he feels about that.

April 30, 2014

Eugenie Bouchard will be out to settle an old score Tuesday when she faces Shelby Rogers of the U.S. in the second round of the Rogers Cup women's tennis championships.
Bouchard and Rogers both trained in Florida and practised together but they played only one match.
"That was a while ago," Rogers said after she beat wild-card Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia 6-4, 7-6 Monday. "I think a challenger in Alabama or something." For the record, the match was played in Troy, Ala., in 2011. Rogers won 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. "Obviously, both of us are very different players now, very different people," Rogers said. "We've come a long way. I think basing anything off that match is irrelevant. I'm just going to treat it like any other match, obviously be prepared for the crowd, all the hype."
Bouchard has emerged as a top-10 player with semifinal appearances at the Australian and French opens followed by a trip to the Wimbledon final. She has earned more than US$2.6 million this year.
Rogers, who is No. 113 in the WTA rankings, had to win two qualifying matches to earn a spot in the main draw. She has won $114,418 this year.
"I think it will be fun," Rogers said of the 6 p.m. match, the feature of the evening program at Uniprix Stadium. "The crowd is going to be for her and I'm the underdog."
Monday's evening session proved to be disappointing for two local players.
Montrealer Françoise Abanda, 17, the youngest player in the field, provided some excitement before losing to 10th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-1, 3-6, 6-0, while Blainville, Que.' s Aleksandra Wozniak was no match for Sloane Stephens of the U.S., losing 6-3, 6-0. Abanda's outing was two matches in one. Abanda's serve proved ineffective in the first and third sets as she failed to win a single service game. She managed to pull herself together after the first set and was helped by a string of unforced errors from Cibulkova.
"This was a great experience for me," Abanda said. "I played one of my best matches and this gives me confidence that I can play against a top-10 player."
Italians Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci didn't have much fun Monday. They form the No. 1 doubles team on the WTA Tour and that's where their focus will be after they were eliminated in the first round of the singles.
Errani, the 2012 French Open finalist, was seeded 13th but lost to Germany's Sabine Lisicki 6-1, 7-5 in the day's opening match. Vinci, ranked 25th in the world, lost to No. 37 Barbora Zahlavova-Strycova of the Czech Republic 7-5.7-5. A third Italian, 12th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, was upset by Kazakh qualifier Yulia Putintseva 7-6, 6-3.

A MAN with Down's syndrome who has won a black belt in karate is an "inspiration" to others, his father says.
Owain Poole, 26, of Oak Drive, Wrexham, took up Shotokan-style karate about four years ago to keep in shape and has steadly progressed through the grades.
He trains twice a week with Wrexham Bushido Karate Club at the Memorial Hall in Chester Street.
Proud dad Neville said the achievement was a "major step forward" for people living with the condition.
He added: "Although the training and concentration got more intense, he just focussed himself and kept at it.
"He wasn't confident about taking the grading, but he took advice from the club instructors he trusts and stayed calm and focussed to pass.
"He is an inspiration for people with learning disabilities."
Roger Williams, who instructs Mr Poole, says he has trained "religiously" to get where he is.
Mr Williams added: "He has done really well – he has trained religiously and he has progressed to a level that gives him credit.
"We don't see labels, we see just see him as someone who does karate.
"He is treated the same as anyone else we train. It has certainly been very beneficial for Owain, he has learned to socialise and mix with other people at the classes."
Mr Williams said it usually takes people about three years to reach black belt level.
Shotokan is the most widely practised style of karate in the world. Famous Shotokan black belts include action movie stars Jean-Claude Van Damme and Wesley Snipes, while survivalist Bear Grylls also holds one.

Gift Theatre's 'Ten' a fine mix of comedy, drama
By HEDY WEISS Theater Critic January 10, 2014 4:33PM
Norm Woodel in David Rabe's GOOD FOR OTTO, directed by Jay Worthington. Photo by Claire Demos
When: Through Jan. 19
Where: The Gift Theatre, 4802 N. Milwaukee
Tickets : Free
Info: (773) 283-7071;
Run time: 2 hours and 10 minutes, with one intermission
Updated: April 14, 2014 4:50PM
In introducing "Ten. 2014"The Gift Theatre's third annual season opener — a free smorgasbord of short plays and improv — associate artistic director Paul D'Addario said the event "gives us the rare opportunity to be in the same room with many of the people we love working with, which doesn't usually happen when you do a single small show."
The final bow drove the point home as 17 actors, both veterans and students in the company's giftED program, shared the tiny stage.
Marking The Gift's relationship with playwright David Rabe ("Hurlyburly," "In the Boom Boom Room"), was "Good for Otto," a powerful little piece he wrote some years ago for a New York benefit. It features a marvelous performance by Norm Woodel as a recently retired man of 70 who, much to his wife's distress, has simply taken to his bed. When he finally meets with a pretty young therapist (Emjoy Gavino), he embarks on a series of abstract ruminations that turn into a beautifully imagined quest for the meaning of life.
The work of two Chicago playwrights, Will Nedved and Laura Marks, can be seen as intriguing variations on this theme. In Marks' "Winsor McKay," a familiarly bickering middle-aged couple (James Farurugio and Alexandra Main) gets lost during a car trip. As they move through a long, dark tunnel to nowhere they realize they are lost in the truest sense — perhaps even dead. They get back on the life track in a winning way. In Nedved's "Body & Blood," former lovers (Gabriel Franken and Cassie Gorniewicz) meet for a drink and engage in unfinished business. HE is about to enter a seminary. SHE has been salving her wounds with an affair with a rich artist and many others.Faith, love and forgiveness are sharply debated.
In "Despacito," J.C. Chandor (and Oscar nominee for his screenplay for the Robert Redford film, "All is Lost"), again uses physical action more than dense dialogue as three construction workers face a challenge. In the "Our Town"-like "The Corn Queen of Lakeford Falls," Melissa Ross gives us a slice of 1943 Americana, as a young girl (Sara-Jayne Ashenhurst) pays a tearful goodbye to her first love (the winning James Doherty), as he heads off to World War II. And in "Moon Rhymes," conceived by Filament Theatre (soon to be a Jefferson Park neighbor of The Gift), we get a loose riff on Shakespeare's Sonnet 107 that is more winning in concept than in execution.
Natural Gift, The Gift's improv team, scored manye laughs in a scene about a resturant serving "runch". Storyteller Robert Kirkbride read his wonderfully thought-provoking essay on charity. And giftED teens Pat Weber, Corbett Baratta and Francesca Plantz joined for "The Detentionists," a deftly done sketch.

To Audrey (part six)
Audrey, midway through your eighth grade year, we brought you home yet another sister -- Christine! You now had more little sisters than you knew what to do with!
You continued to be a big help with taking care of all these sisters!
When we all went to the Wiggles concert, I think you had the best time of all!
For some reason, at your fourteenth birthday, you didn't want to be photographed!
But on the last day of school, you were all smiles. (I'm not sure if this was your eighth grade year or your freshman year, but no matter!)
Here you are on the first day of school your sophomore year, the same day Beth started kindergarten and courtney started second grade.
At your sixteenth birthday, you clearly had a blast.
Well before you turned 16, you started talking about driving and getting a car. Fearing for your safety, I stalled as long as I could. Finally, around the time you turned 17, you got your learners' permit. For your senior year, we had no choice but to get you your own car, because of your mom's and my crazy schedules. You worked hard to raise the money to pay for the car. This photo perfectly captures the nervous excitement that you felt when you started driving.
You and had our share of fights your freshman year, and your sophomore year, we were constantly at each others' throats. Thankfully, your junior year, we got along great. You were such a happier person that year, as this photo shows.
We loved watching you perform in the orchestra in junior high and high school. Here you are at your final concert.
And then, you graduated. We had a great summer and did a lot of fun stuff together. And now you've moved out. You're a college student. I'm going to miss having you around (although I'm glad that your dorm is only about 10 miles from our house, so we'll still see you often). You did great in high school and made me very proud. I have no doubt that you will do the same in college.
I love you, Audrey!

Survival Communications – The C.B. Radio
Filed under
Emergency Communication, Urban
Posted by: Robert Richardson
Even during small scale disasters (earthquakes, seasonal storms, etc.) your normal communications channels can become compromised. In fact, it doesn't take much to bring down an entire cell network, making the ability to communicate during a disaster one of your top priorities.
While ham radio is always my first line of emergency communications, a C.B. Radio is another important part of any good survival communications plan.
Made popular during the 1970s, because of movies like Smokey and the Bandit, for decades C.B. Radio was one of the most popular forms of short distance communications. Although its popularity has faded, due to development of mobile phones, the internet and the Family Radio Service, it still remains extremely popular among truckers, radio hobbyists, and survivalists.
Citizen' Band radio (better known as CB radio) is a short-distance radio communications that takes up 40 radio channels from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. A properly tuned CB has a range of around 20-30 miles, but if illegally tweaked can transmit hundreds of miles.

DENVER (AP) - Authorities say two people were injured in a shooting just as bars were about to close in downtown Denver.
Police spokesman John White tells The Denver Post someone pulled a gun and fired shots during a disturbance outside the ZI South club half a block east of Coors Field at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. The victims, whose names have not been released, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made and police have not identified a suspect, who was possibly in a white truck or SUV similar to a Chevy Avalanche.

Green Bay Packers v Chicago Bears
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: January 23, 2012 2:55AM
The greatest receiver in NFL history says some of the current receivers amaze him.
Jerry Rice — named by NFL Network earlier this year as the best player ever — excitedly rattles off some of his favorite receivers.
"Calvin Johnson. Andre Johnson. Larry Fitzgerald. Steve Smith. Wes Welker," Rice said. "I enjoy watching all those guys."
So how about them Bears?
The phone goes silent.
He's still there.
"It's a young group," Rice said diplomatically. "I know they have Roy Williams, but they need to make things a little easier for Jay Cutler, running routes and getting open."
Rice watched Cutler scramble for his life on ''Monday Night Football.'' The Detroit Lions pressured him into making difficult throws all night.
"With Jay Cutler, he's getting hit constantly,'' Rice said. ''But he was still making good throws down the field and still somehow making plays. More precise route-running is going to help."
Rice added that separation is a "big issue."
"As a quarterback, you want to see that separation,'' Rice said. ''You don't want to have to be accurate all the time and put it in a certain spot. It's good to see that separation, and you can let it go and get that completion."
Rice didn't just single out the Bears' receivers. He said it's a league-wide problem.
"You don't see guys work on route-running anymore," he said. "I look at Wes Welker and what he does. He can still run routes. On the majority of the routes, he's completely open. I mean, there's no one around sometimes."
The Bears' pass-protection woes have been well-documented.
But the receivers haven't exactly sparkled.
Running back Matt Forte leads the team in catches (30) and receiving yards (345), and undrafted rookie receiver Dane Sanzenbacher is second with 16 catches. Sanzenbacher also is the only receiver to catch a touchdown pass — two of them, in fact.
"At 2-3, it's not like we're patting ourselves on the back with many things," coach Lovie Smith said. "We have to improve in all areas. Receivers are a part of it. Do we need to do a better job of getting open? Yes.
"We need to get them the ball more. All of those things. Right now, especially coming off a loss, we're not talking about a lot of positive things we're doing. We need to improve in all areas, that being one of them."
Cutler has completed only 58.6 percent of his passes, a pace that would set a career low.
But his receivers have dropped 12 passes, tied for second-most in the NFL.
"It's just a mental error on our part as receivers," Devin Hester said. "We can't be having dropped balls. There's a reason we're in the NFL — you can catch. But it's just a lack of focus. We got to look that ball in."
Sanzenbacher is tied for fifth in the NFL with four drops. But can he really be faulted, given how he has been thrown into the fire because of a chest injury to usual slot receiver Earl Bennett?
For his part, Cutler isn't complaining.
"They're doing a good job with what they're presented with," he said. "With the pressure we were under, nothing was really happening on time.
"Everything was kind of . . . delayed. I was moving around a lot. There were only a handful of plays, 1-2-3-4, ball on time where it's supposed to be."
ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer isn't impressed with the Bears' receivers as a whole, but he isn't sure a Hall of Fame class would have fared any better Monday night.
"You could have put Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Art Monk in, and it wouldn't have mattered," Dilfer said. "The issue wasn't receivers getting open. It was receivers having enough time for routes to develop."
Dilfer bolsters what Rice suggests, that the Bears need to consider shorter routes instead of the long-developing ones.
"It magnifies the issues the Bears have in terms of pass protection," Dilfer said. "I think the overall problem is their system, in general, lends itself to more of a mercurial type of play. Up and down. You can get really hot if you're protecting and you're allowing these routes to develop.
"There's no doubt Mike [Martz] has the best system in all of football to get big plays. But the problem is, you can't protect the quarterback long enough to get to those plays."

text: Chicago gangsters obviously don't listen to their elders by John Hayward 31 Jan 2013 post a comment Share This: In response to Hey, Media: Chicago Teen's Shooting Called Gang-War Mistake: This is incredibly disappointing, Jerome, because I distinctly remember Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel pleading with gang-bangers to aim more carefully.

I really like this brand 'Natures Way' for herbs and more natural supplements as the price is very reasonable and they are very pure. I have heard about this product in the past but have always overlooked it and tried other things. This product is excellent for GERD symptoms and candida!!!!!! In fact it is the ONLY product which instantly helps my gerd and I have suffered with this for 10 years and tried so many products that it would make your head spin!! If you have candida or gerd try this it is safe and effective and you can take as many as you need whenever you need it !!!!! Try it! You'll be glad you did!!! I am stocking up on this one..
This suff Rocks!!

That's the reason my son and husband take these. It takes about 2 weeks of consistent use to get rid of the fungus in the body. But once gone, no matter where they go, what shoes they wear, what sports they play, or where they shower... no athletes foot.

A physician who uses standard and complementary therapies suggested i take grapefruit seed extract to fight fungal infections. I think i see a bit of improvement after a few weeks, but it has been suggested that i try it at least 6 months before deciding if it's helping. I wish I could say something more definitive. Bless you.

Remember when we actually had to create our own playlists? Like, from scratch? Oh, and remember those things called CDs? Ah yes, thanks to the Bay Area's very own Pandora Radio, those days are long behind us. What started as a small underground project has become so big in recent years that it has completely changed the way we consume our favorite tunes.
And, we could only imagine that the crew masterminding these mega-personal soundtracks is just as snazzy as the jams they line up for us daily. To see for ourselves, we toured the rockin' Oakland HQ of Pandora Radio and met six rad, behind-the-scenes gals. And boy, does this joint look like a fun place to work! After all, who doesn't want to take their meetings in conference rooms fashioned after local music venues and partake in mid-day jam sessions on the cafeteria rock stage?

Facebook slurped phone numbers says Norton
Norton has pinged Facebook for slurping Android users' phone numbers without their consent. The findings, posted here, were announced along with a new version of the company's Android security app. Norton, which once famously blocked Facebook as a phishing site, says the updated Mobile Insight flagged Facebook for Android as …
Accidental data loss.
Facebook has advised that it will update the app and, and that it has "stated they did not use or process the phone numbers and have deleted them from their servers," Norton says.
Don't worry the U.S. government has them backedup safe & sound in case you lose them.
Re: Accidental data loss.
Indeed. And one has to wonder if issues like these are down to bugs/errors or maybe intended....
Re: Accidental data loss.
Now now, we can trust both of Symantec's biggest customers, the US government and the PRC.
@AC - "... one has to wonder ...".
I think this sort of thing is all too frequent and well crafted to assume anything but intent.
I'd be more inclined to accept the bug/error explanation if the apology was accompanied by a statement that the developer concerned had been redeployed for causing FB serious embarrassment.
Re: Accidental data loss... Not really
When you sign up to Facebook you sign up with the devil.
So what do you expect?
Re: @AC - "... one has to wonder ...".
"I think this sort of thing is all too frequent and well crafted to assume anything but intent."
Not convinced myself if it was a deliberate slurp I would have thought that it would have gone for the whole address book.
Although it begs the question is this before or after the App permissions are set? if its before its an android fail for making the phones number available - if its after then its a false flag by Symantec and its the users lookout - if they have already given slurp permissions then there's not a case to answer.
Re: @Gordon 10
I agree, it looks more like a lazy /stupid developer to me.
@Gordon 10 - Re: @AC - "... one has to wonder ...".
It does seem that slurping the number before login was a bad design decision or even an error. You do have to wonder, though, why someone thought there was any need to pass the phone number on at any time.
Whatever - this reminded me that I have the Facebook app on my phone, though I don't use it. It's gone now, along with Twitter.
Re: @AC - "... one has to wonder ...".
It was a deliberate slurp.
FB is looking for ways to help identify that you are who you say you are and that you're a real person and not a fake name/identity. Or that you're connecting to FB from a known computer.
So its trying to authenticate the real you and your external activities w their data.
You can look at it as benign because they want to prove that you are you. Or you can look at it with the knowledge that they want to make sure you're real and even if you use a fake identity, its tied to a real person.
I get the point about identifying the device, though still it should not have sent the phone number until login was attempted.
But I don't go long with the need to identify a real person, or that I'm me. The phone number only identifies a real person if that person has given it to Facebook already in their account settings. otherwise it is an unreliable means of infering identity.
Re: @AC 16:19
You do remember how a group of researchers took supposedly anon data from Netflix and was able to then, using an external data source, determine the real identity of the poster who made the recommendation?
The point is that you can figure out who is who and your real identity much easier than you think.
Kakao and others do or did this, too. It REALLLLLLLLLY fracking pissed me off that they slurped my contact info withou any clear warning and no option to flag certain contacts as off limits.
What is so fucked in the head about these companies and their self assignment of slurping rights is that they could be endangering relatives who have restraining orders against one or more people in my contact list., since early in the post slur phase they begin recommending contacts to be contacted.
What is worse is that do not be evil should have anticipated this and created a tickbox system like a phone lust firewall to prevent these asinine and greedy purloiners of free software from slurping our data, marketing us, and riskng the safety and lives of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people.
Re: Kakaotalk
"...that they could be endangering relatives who have restraining orders against one or more people in my contact list...."
This, a thousand times this. All you "but I have nothing to hide, so why should I be worried" morons should take careful note of exactly this kind of issue. This sort of thing is why privacy is vitally important, and it is just one example of why the tired old "nothing to hide, nothing to fear' argument is invalid.
Re: Kakaotalk
You drank the kool-aid, Kakotalk.
With so many gullible sheeple out there, I should start a content-free ad service myself. I don't need to make billions, but so many people have nothing to hide, I could make a moderately phat living.
Re: Kakaotalk
Erm, I'm only surprised that Symantec took this long to notice it. I noticed it nearly two years ago when I was checking something with my phone and caught the traffic.
Fortunately, the numbers changed quite rapidly in the phonebook, the contacts were mostly mailing lists and erroneous entries from a buggy version of software that I was too lazy to remove.
Since then, I've only allowed certain traffic to depart from my phone, using a tether and networking tricks to ensure that.
One only ponders why it took this long to notice or, erm, suddenly realize it should be reported to the public...
Perhaps, after clearing it with the NSA?
Re: Kakaotalk
If you have an android phone what you need is a ROM with pdroid support compiled into the kernel, does exactly what your after, firewall for permissions. Search XDA developers for your phone and find a suitable ROM.
If you dont want to root/flash your phone there are other apps that act as a permissions firewall, LBE Privacy guard is one I used in the past but I dont think they work 100% like pdroid.
Pdroid also allows you to spoof phone numbers or device ID's so you can have the satisfaction of screwing up their nice and neat marketing data.
Re: you want a ROM with pdroid support compiled etc blah blah blah
No - what they, I and a billion other people want is the right to own our data and to only release our data with express permission, not to have it stolen from us for whatever purpose.
Re: Kakaotalk
"If you dont want to root/flash your phone there are other apps that act as a permissions firewall, LBE Privacy guard is one I used in the past but I dont think they work 100% like pdroid."
LBE needs root like the others. Xprivacy using the xposed framework is the most complex privacy app i have come across and its very similar to pdroid in function. It allows fine grain permission and access management and works on most roms ics and up without messing about with patchers on a pc (unlike pdroid, which only works with select roms and requires making a patched zip). LBE is pretty good, but its closed source, hails from China and is getting more bloated with every release, not to mention it can leak data at boot, before it starts up, and hasnt got the vast choice of permission options that pdroid and xprivacy have..
Having said that, I used the full fat xda translated LBE for years and it served me well.
As for facebook, it bloody annoys me that it only takes one person who has my details in their contact list to upload their contacts to fb, and they have all my details, even though I have never had a fb account.
Its getting almost impossible to stay off-grid and anonymous now when the average person doesnt know or care about the data on others they spunk online every day. And dont get me started on photo tagging....
Re: you want a ROM with pdroid support compiled etc blah blah blah
In an ideal world that would be nice, unfortunately thats not the case so while you wait for that to happen I will be using Pdroid and my phone wont be leaking any info I dont let it.
The choice is yours, I was just stating that there are options out there to protect your info, now.
And my friends wonder...
...why I don't trust Facebook.
Well, this is just one of many security and privacy issues that I have had concerns about over the years, when it comes to Facebook.
THAT'S why I refuse to have anything to do with it.
Re: And my friends wonder...
Yawn... every facebook invasion story prompts people on the reg to say almost exactly "facebook is evil, aren't i clever and smug for not using it".
People use facebook. It is pretty standard to interact with other people using some form of social media.
People use apps, that is what is going on in IT now... if you want to stay in the 80s and ignore the current world of IT then be my guest, but simply berating the rest of us for being stupid to expect any level of privacy from a piece of software is extremely arrogant of you.
Re: And my friends wonder...
I do, but I keep my contacts where some script can't find them, they're encrypted and I rarely use Facebook, save to see my grandchildren's latest pictures.
That said, shall we discuss LinkedIn's sucking of contact lists?
For that matter, who doesn't suck in contact lists these days? :/
Re: Who doesn't suck in contact lists these days?
Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right.
Re: And my friends wonder...
And are you blocking the intersite tracking known as "Facebook Social Plugins" too? Or Google Analytics?
@Aoyagi Aichou - Re: And my friends wonder...
Looks at Ghostery, NoScript, Adblock Plus...
... Yep!
Re: And my friends wonder...
The biggest problem here is that the FB app is preinstalled on a lot of mobiles and as the article states all you have to do was run the app and it sends your mobile number to FB. You don't even need an account. So they may have the number of people like myself and Roger who don't trust FB and would never have anything to do with it.
I really don't care if the unwashed masses want to sell themselves to Satan, Zuck or Larry Page. I'm seriously pissed off when I'm forced to do the same.
@Graham Marsden
Hah, a rather popular setup, I see.
Remember this article?
Really does make me wonder what was really discussed at that meeting, in light of current events.
I'll get my coat now!
heh.. diigo is far worse
Diigo is far worse... if you're logged in with ANY account you can download ANYONE ELSE's exported bookmarks if you manage to get the download key (looks like a MD5 sum slightly modified) for one.
The site doesn't check that the file actually belongs to you, only that you're logged in with a diigo account. (it used to be that the site didn't even check that you're logged in, but they added a login check sometimes last year).
even data for PAST ACCOUNTS, that are currently deleted, can be downloaded. Diigo doesn't allow you to delete ANY EXPORT files even if the account that generated them is deleted by the user.
Like we needed for 4 more reasons to drop ZuckBook...
!. Spying by US Govt...
2. Spying by Advertisers....
3. Behaviour Analysis Data Mining: M$' 'MoodScope app predicts smartphones users' feelings'
4. This latest in a long line of 'you have nothing to worry about' Big-Tech privacy violations....
The funny thing is the other day (within the last two weeks in fact) the Facebook app presented me with my phone number with a message "Is this your phone number?". Cheeky bugger!
Not processed, now deleted
"stated they did not use or process the phone numbers and have deleted them from their servers"
If they didn't use or process them, why do they need to delete them? Not processing them would imply the data was just lost in transmission, but needing to delete them means they did something with that data - i.e. stored it - thus processed it.
Wow!! Norton! There's a name from the past!
First... Facebook is pretty much evil. We all use it because the only real alternative is Google+ which is fr ok the company who brings us 18.104.22.168 to track all our DNS queries. So, when you basically give 99% of your life to a company which is competing with Google to see who can be Orwell's big brother first, you can't really bitch when they try to get that last 1%.
Second... Norten! Wow! I remember those guys. They're the ones who too over from Microsoft for a while with regards to making computers slower so you'd have to upgrade right? I mean, when MS started doing stupid things like making Windows use less RAM and CPU with each version, Norton Antivirus used more and more so Intel would sell more chips :)
Re: Wow!! Norton! There's a name from the past!
Norton... last client purchases ended when they introduced that damn license portal - took two months (no chit mang) to renew a site license for a client. Was the last time/last use of Symantec with any of my clients.
"...they did not use or process the phone numbers and have deleted them from their servers..."
Was this before or after prism had access to the data?
Not saying this is right
But if you use a Google Phone, Facebook slurping should not be your top concern.
No new
I noticed this about two years ago. If you install the Facebook app on your smartphone it slurps your phone number and adds it to the 'contact information' on the facebook site - along with anything else you have in your phone - email etc.
All you can do to stop it is block your contact information from being shared with anyone else in the privacy settings. Facebook still have access to it on their servers. AFAIK there is no way to stop the app from slurping your number.
In the recent update it now wants the ability to phone premium rate numbers on your device. I'm waiting for the first rogue dialer smartphone app to be seen in the wild. FB are FCKS...
Re: No new, Maybe not...
I think all you needed to do was just have an Android phone, if you didn't use Apple, Blackberry, etc.
See, one day, in or around 2010, I bought an HTC Evo 3G, from BBuy. I updated my info to the phone. Then, on my way out of the store, and at the bust stop, realized the phone was acting up. Then, the screen would stay black for a long time or very dimmed whether or not shooting pics.
Immediately, I returned to the store rep who sold me the device. He got authorization to remove another from stock, then did some keystrok magic, then handed me a new handset. I logged in, and just as with the first, that handset had all my google info, book marks, and phone contacts.
Even "do not be evil" apparently had not had and still has no systems to allow the device owners to be presented a list to exclude from update to the new device.
I sometimes put personal notes on the contacts for whom I do not have phone numbers because, evil or not, none of my android phones had native note takers/apps. Hence, hundreds of millions of us are FORCED (if we opt not to use pencil and paper) to download some third-party app. Hell, i still wonder whether any of the note applications slurp data without permission.
This is why for the past two or so years I been bitching up a storm that google should/must provide users with tools to know who is sucking on our phones and what data is being slurped. Governments should obtain their data theft of the public at some demarc, not via some dodgy, surreptitious, clandestine app plopped into the Play Store or AppStore or whatever.
At what point does this become baiting or entrapment, when intel and police agencies litter the stores with apps having the sole purpose of building a global dragnet. I would not be surprised if that is the next thing to pop up in this NSA scandal: "CIA, DIA, DIS, NIS, NSA, et al, develop, deliver, and defensively hide data-slurping tools globally. Probably Hauwei, LG, Samsung, Sony, Blackberry, etc all do it for testing purposes, as they'll claim, but then all that complexity enables governments and criminals alike to with impunity suck from our devices and sometimes damage them in the process.
I wonder what will happen people in the hundreds of millions start trying to sanitize their phones, and if they just spuriously and randomly change their behavior. Not that it will severely affect law enforcement agents who stick to monitoring baddies. But, it will royally screw over marketing companies and maybe only slightly annoy some criminals. Enough dumb people will keep crims in business, but marketing slurpers under performance and due-diligence/data integrity contracts would go apoplectic if forced to repay hundreds of millions of dollars due to sloppy or questionable data transfer.
Facebutt, give me my number back
Just like Gurgle kept the stuff found by their war driving, also facebook needs to keep our numbers and sell your privacy to be able to get Suckerberg enough to live on. Phone numbers are sometimes unlisted, except by them. Please give me back my number.

GRANBURY — Billy Kelly and a dozen other members of Glenda and Robert Whiteheads family sifted piece by piece through the ruins of the Whiteheads mobile home in the 3700 block of Sundown Trail in Rancho Brazos Estates.This is the second day weve been here, Kelly, 63, said Sunday. We found their birth certificates, deeds to properties, pictures, car titles and some financial documents. We found love letters hed written to her from Vietnam.Glenda Whitehead and her husband of 40-some years were two of the six fatalities left in the wake of the tornado Wednesday night that devastated the neighborhood theyd retired to only a few years ago, Kelly said. The relatives, most from nearby towns but some from as far away as Houston, had until sunset to work at the site.A curfew from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. will remain in effect at least a few more days, Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said.The curfew will continue until were satisfied that the residents are satisfied their properties are secure and safe, that all valuables are removed that they want to get out, he said. After that, well just do close patrols.Returning permanently to their homes will be difficult. Utilities will continue to be out for the foreseeable future, maybe weeks, Deeds said.Power and water definitely are long-term problems, he said. The infrastructure has been destroyed.Monarch Utilities has set up a temporary station next to a water tower that was crushed by the storm. Monarch employees are providing potable water to anyone with containers.Nothing similar can be done for electrical service, Deeds said.Brazos Electric is coming in Tuesday to repair the main supply line for United Co-op, he said. United Cooperative Services is a great company and theyre working as fast as they can, he said. Until more cleanup has been done, they cant begin to restore anything. We dont even have a ballpark estimate on either power or water.The rest of the rebuilding will be at residents discretion, Deeds said. Because the neighborhood is in unincorporated Hood County, and not in Granburys extraterritorial jurisdiction, residents will be free to move back into their homes even before utilities are restored.Raul Rodriguez, 42, who owns a frame house in the 3800 block of Sundown Trail, said he and his family consider themselves lucky because the tornado did little structural damage to the house. The chain link fence that surrounded their yard is gone, as is the roof over the backyard patio.The only damage to the homes integrity was a broken piece of 2-by-4 that pierced the roof, about two feet of it jutting toward the sky.From his property west to the Monarch water tower, everything was demolished, including the Whiteheads mobile home and one other, and a couple of Habitat for Humanity homes, Rodriguez said. He and his wife, Yubeana, and their three daughters took shelter in a tiny closet in the center of their home as the tornado passed over.To me it sounded like an airplane, he said.Rodriguez and his family will repair their home. In the meantime, theyre staying at an American Red Cross shelter. Rodriguez said he isnt sure how long they will remain there.Meanwhile, with his sister and her husband deceased, Kelly had only one incentive to continue clearing debris from the Whiteheads property.Were responsible for cleaning up this place because my sister was that kind of person, he said. If it had been anyone else, shed be out here doing this, whether it was for family or a friend.

Making the most of sales and leasebacks: a sale leaseback transaction allows a franchisee to convert his own real estate property into the capital he might need for growth.daunting daunt

While sale leasebacks have been around since the 1940s, the shortage of all types of real estate investments has brought renewed attention to viable sale leaseback A transaction whereby land is sold and subsequently rented by the seller from the purchaser who is the new owner. opportunities.
In simple terms, a sale-leaseback transaction allows a franchisee to convert his real estate property into the capital he might need for growth. By selling the owner's physical assets, typically a building, then leasing it back from the purchaser or investor, the franchisee is able to create the liquidity needed for an expansion or growth strategy, his option and all of the various consequences have to be contemplated in advance, and also negotiated or permitted in the franchise agreement.
Sales and Leaseback Strategies
From the buyer's perspective, a sale leaseback can be an attractive investment in the real estate category as it requires less maintenance and administration than many multi-tenant real estate investments. The investor could be using the sale leaseback to diversify a larger equity portfolio or it could be a real estate investment trust specialized in sale-leaseback investments. For example, a private-equity fund recently purchased a set of approximately 50 fitness centers in the Northeast United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . The logic behind the investment is to utilize the leasing revenue and, in turn, raise additional equity for future projects. By signing a triple-net lease, it relinquishes responsibility for maintenance on the property which gives the franchise absolute control over its operations. Both sides have benefits and possible drawbacks, but when applied by small-to-medium franchisees, it can greatly impact a successful future. The impact presents a greater growth opportunity. However, credit remains scarce.
Sale-leaseback investments in larger public companies, such as Walgreens stores or Family Dollar locations, typically come with corporate guarantees or sponsorship, and are typically easier transactions for the investor, with less risk and thus less return. The credit-worthy company signs a long-term lease, generating a reasonable return of equity with limited risk. The company maintains balance sheet flexibility and can focus on managing its core business versus a growing real estate portfolio. These transactions are usually accomplished through a "usual suspects" list of sellers and investors.

An Existing Strategy in Selling the Business
Another advantage to a sale or sale leaseback is for the retailer looking for an existing strategy in selling the business. If the operator currently owns the real estate prior to the selling the business, consult with a commercial real estate professional who specializes in triple net or sale leasebacks to determine the best way to structure the sale of the asset either to the buyer of the business or to an investor. There are typically four options:
1. Outright sale of the asset to the buyer.
2. Outright sale of the asset to an investor.
3. Complete a sale leaseback to an investor with the existing operation with assignment to a new buyer.
4. Set up a sale leaseback pre-negotiated for the buyer of the business.

These professionals can advise you with the terms you have agreed on to present/list the value of your property, but remember your business is your top consideration. Don't let the real estate deal and the value drive your decision or it could be a burden on your operations and cash flow to run the business.
The success of a franchisee will always be determined by the core business strategy, but can be enhanced and more profitable if he learns creative ways to manage the assets and liabilities on his balance sheet. This option for financing the physical plant should be taken into consideration when the need for capital presents itself. With the current economic climate and unfriendliness of the credit markets, a sale-leaseback transaction could provide an efficient and effective means to generate equity for company expansion. As with any financing strategy, before entering a sale-leaseback transaction, the franchisee should consult with his real estate attorney and or tax consultant.
