"We are not looking for photo ops or trying to make ourselves look good in the press," said Bruce LeVell, a jeweler from Atlanta who is executive director of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump. "We are looking at seriously hey, Mr. RNC—or should I say Mr. and Mrs. RNC, because it is an entity in itself—how can we help you? And in return, they are like, well, how can you help us?"
Some 35 members of Trump's unofficial diversity team have confirmed they will travel to RNC headquarters in Washington to meet with its leadership, LeVell says. The group, which Trump has met with, also includes Cleveland pastor Darrell Scott, reality TV star Omarosa Manigault, and Trump business advisor Michael Cohen.
They plan to meet July 1 with the RNC's deputy political director Jennifer Korn and national director of African American initiatives Telly Lovelace. Chairman Reince Priebus, LeVell says, has not yet confirmed his participation. "The RNC invited the NDC for Trump to meet with us," an RNC official confirmed to TIME. "The meeting is still in the planning stages. We look forward to working together."
In the Third District congressional runoff, Republican Drew Ferguson this morning picked up the endorsement of defeated rival Jim Pace. Ferguson ran a close second to state Sen. Mike Crane, R-Newnan. From the press release:
With Pace's endorsement, all five of the other candidates in this year's GOP primary have endorsed Drew over state Sen. Mike Crane who essentially tied Ferguson in the primary. Supporters of these candidates made up roughly 73 percent of the votes cast in the primary when added to Drew's 27 percent.
On Thursday, we told you that Republican leaders in the U.S. House had thwarted a Democratic attempt to load up a spending bill shepherded by Tom Graves, R-Ranger, with some rather controversial amendments.
But last night, as the House debated the $3.5 billion bill, which deals primarily with congressional spending, Democrats continued to slam Graves and his GOP colleagues for including language in a sidecar to the bill that would essentially compel the Library of Congress to continue using the term "illegal alien," among other terms, to describe undocumented immigrants.
Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz compared the term to the word "Negro."
"We evolve in this country and it is understandable that someone who was not a member of a group of immigrants wouldn't understand that that term could be pejorative," Schultz told Graves on the House floor. "We should evolve as a society."
Graves shot back, saying that the language in question would keep the Library of Congress' system consistent with terminology used in Supreme Court decisions and federal laws for decades.
"We're actually helping the library here. We're not telling them what words to use. We're just saying 'hey, be consistent with U.S. law,'" Graves said. "That keeps it pretty simple, I believe."

Art of Tea has been one of those companies that I've always wanted to try so when they contacted The SororiTea Sisters about reviewing a few of their offerings, I was giddy! Dark Chocolate Peppermint seemed appropriate for the season so I decided to start with this one. The dry leaf of this blend had a lovely rich dark chocolate aroma that had a note of peppermint in it. I'm typically not a dark chocolate fan but this one even made me drool a tad. I finished this cuppa off in no tie flat. This tea had a rich earthy Read More

When Super Typhoon Haiyan (local name: Yolanda) struck the Philippines in November 2013, it wreaked havoc on the southern part of the country, starting from the east in Samar Island to the western islands of Palawan and Mindoro. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the nation, and perhaps the world, affecting an estimated 13 million people based on United Nations estimates.
Globe immediately responded by reviving Bangon Pinoy, an enterprise-wide disaster response initiative that allows communities devastated by calamities to benefit from various efforts focusing on rebuilding and rehabilitation. With the scale of the disaster, immediate relief of food, water, and clothing was top priority. Communication lines had to go up quickly to aid coordination of national and local government and humanitarian agencies, and to connect families with their loved ones. Many of those affected had to start all over again, and lot of work still has to be done. Thus, Project Wonderful was born.
Project Wonderful is our holistic response to nation- building that aims to provide long-term impact to typhoon-devastated areas through three pillars: shelter for the homeless, education for school children, and livelihood opportunities. We have done this in collaboration with various humanitarian organizations using funds from individual and corporate donors both local and international.
Project Wonderful is underpinned by values of volunteerism, hope, perseverance, and the belief that even in the toughest of times, we can rely on each other and collectively rise above challenges. Filipinos and people from all over the world volunteered time and resources to help the typhoon victims get back on their feet again.
With Project Wonderful, we helped bring its vision of a wonderful Philippines closer to reality. We did so through our own network of partners and stakeholders, mostly international brands working together to elevate our culture of service into something more meaningful.Rebuilding homes, rebuilding lives
A wonderful future for our youth through education
Achieving lasting recovery through a sustainable livelihood
Answering the call for private sector participation post-Haiyan

Editor's note: Click here to read the final grades for Alabama's offense.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- To say Alabama came from nowhere to win the BCS National Championship would be untrue. You don't win two titles in three seasons without earning a reputation.
Still, after losing a Heisman Trophy finalist at tailback, the top four pass-catchers on offense and two-thirds of the starters on the defensive side of the football, it seemed unlikely the Crimson Tide would make history and maintain the title of college football's best.

Well as one of my friends here would say the ceiling, the ceiling is up. Unless of course we were under something else. Sarah, Titus and I greet you with a smile. We are excited for this letter to be in your hands! I will make this as interesting as I can. Our family is doing well, we are growing in the Lord and we really enjoy the church we have been going to these past couple years—we've grown so much as a result of our church family! We go to the Trinity Community Church in Titusville which is about 25 minutes from where we live but it is definitely worth the drive.
You know that concept? I'm pretty sure it's referred to as time. It has been going by so fast I completely forgot there was such a concept! Titus is pretty much up to Sarah's waist and he is getting a bit too smart for his own good. We love him, he has been such a blessing and brings lots of smiles to our faces. The summer is almost here as well, it seems like it was just yesterday that we were going through the summer and now it's upon us again! Time, where does it go? (If you know please let us know, we'd like to get some back)
If you find yourself dreaming about corn it might mean that you're headed to Indiana. Yes, the Adams family will be once again travelling to Indiana to share the Gospel at the Tri-State fairs with a team of teenagers. We are looking forward to this summer and all that it holds in store for us!
Film vs. Audio?
Short story, I do a lot of film work. If I am not doing film work for Teen Missions you would probably find me doing it somewhere else, either at the dentist or at church. I love working with video. Audio on the other hand has been a neglected child in my realm of work. We now have Matthew Mellinger in our office and he is somewhat of an audio guru. He has helped us bring our work to new levels. I now have a love for audio that I just didn't have before. So when it comes to audio vs. video, just remember that they are both important.
Video Editing Timeline
While editing video I realized that our lives are a lot like the timeline of a video, I lay footage on the timeline and when the video is complete I export it. At the end of a project I find myself looking it over and realize that the three minutes I just edited is very much like my own life; short! We are but a three-minute timeline placed on the timeline of forever. Do we want our timeline to be full of useless garbage or something more? Definitely a challenge every time I think about it!
Study Master
I've been tasked with being the nightly study monitor for the students which has been both hard and rewarding. Hard in that I am not home from 7-9, but rewarding in that I utilize that time to study the word of God or study apologetics or some other form of Biblical Study. When I no longer have to monitor study time I still want to retain a discipline of studying the Word of God more in depth as I have been.
Sarah and I have taken on the task of learning HTML coding (Website coding) which has been both challenging and fun at the same time. It is a massive language and there are so many elements involved in writing code for a website.
We have also taken up the challenge of learning a new language, one of the students here speaks Japanese and we have been learning different phrases throughout the week! Maybe one day I'll send this update in Japanese 🙂
Lastly we have taken up guitar, we both have wanted to learn a musical instrument and guitar seemed as good a place to start as any. Matthew Mellinger has graciously taken up the mantle of teaching us the ways of the guitar.
Well this is the part where I tell you goodbye, thanks for reading this letter I hope it blessed you in someway. We love you guys and thank God for your prayers, and or support. Please let us know how you are doing we would love to know.
(God Bless)

Should You Mix Pleasure With Business?
Should you take advantage of this job "perk" or keep it strictly professional?Office hook-ups are common, but can come with some major complications that should be considered before making a hot visit to the supply closet.
Are you her boss? Is she yours?If so, don't even think about it! Most companies have strict policies about relationships with subordinates, and one of you directly reporting to the other will create a situation where both of you lose… possibly your jobs! Even if you aren't in a direct reporting structure with her, any inequality in title could open the door for expectations that there will be favor given, or some sort of professional benefit, from the relationship.
What kind of drama will come if things go badly?Would it be hard to continue working together after a failed hook-up? Even just office gossip or rumors of a hook-up, whether it really happened or not, can create an awkward work environment and could call your integrity into question.
Is a piece of ass worth losing your job over?Ultimately it could come to getting fired, depending on our workplace and its policies. Not only could you find yourself unemployed, but getting tangled up in an office affair could ruin your professional reputation, your career path, and could land you in legal trouble if you wind up with sexual harassment allegations. That's a worst-case scenario, but worth thinking about.

Look at what we just got in the mail. It's the just-announced newest version of the Flip Mino HD. I've only played around with it for a few minutes, but I think it's safe to say that Pure Digital (now owned by Cisco) really got the pocket camcorder's looks right this time out.
The first Flip looked fairly cheap–almost disposable. The first-generation Flip Mino and its aesthetically identical counterpart, the Flip Mino HD, was a marked improvement. But the device still looked a bit dated, like something that might be branded by Radio Shack back in the 90s.
This device, on the other hand, is quite slick, with its brushed metal finish. The HDMI port has made its way down to the bottom of the device–there are no additional video or audio out ports on the camera. The rear features a larger LCD and the same touch-sensitive buttons as the earlier version of the Mino.
The device also feels a lot more solid than its diminutive predecessor. You don't get the feeling that this camcorder is going to fall apart in your pocket.
We'll be bringing you a hands-on review of the device in the near future at PCMag.com. In the meantime, check out a slew of close-up shots, after the jump.

Opus Kids' Art Exhibition
Spread the word about the Kids Art Exhibit with your students, schoolmates and friends – download a printable poster today!
Nurture & encourage the young artists in your life with the chance to have their work shown at their local Opus store!
Kids 12 years old or younger are invited to show their work in a pop-up gallery at their local Opus August 1-13, 2017 during our Annual Opus Kids' Art Exhibit, with proceeds from the event going to the Creative Art Program at BC Children's Hospital.
Bonus: All children who display a piece at the exhibit at their local Opus store will be entered into a free draw for a chance to win one of three $50 Opus Gift Cards, or to have their exhibited work custom-framed to their specifications!
Watch Art in the Garden, filmed at David and Aubin van Berckel's Bowen Island home, and discover how having an outlet to express themselves can unleash a child's hidden potential and give them agency in the world around them.
For a minimum donation of $1*, you can pick up a 8"×8" Buzz Canvas Panel for kids to create their piece. Panels will be available at your local Opus starting June 15, 2017. The subject, style and medium of the art created on the panels are up to the artist – we encourage all to explore their creativity and have fun!
Completed works must be submitted to Opus by Monday, July 31.
The public are invited to view the Kids' Art Exhibit between August 1–13, 2017, and show their support for the youngest members of their creative community.
The Opus Kids' Art Exhibit has been a very successful and enjoyable event in our Langley location for over 10 years and in 2012 we introduced this creative opportunity at all of our stores. We look forward to displaying this year's work and invite you to join us August 1–13 at your local Opus store to take in this extraordinary exhibition of young talent. See you there!
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Pablo Picasso
*All funds raised will be used to purchase art supplies for
The 8"×8" Buzz Canvas Panel surface has limitless potential to showcase young artsists' work. Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling:
- Think outside the box: Try adding items from around the house and back yard! Explore using buttons, yarn, pennies, macaroni, leaves, cotton balls, or anything else that sparks creativity!
- Try working on paper – drawing, painting, collage, air dry clay – then mounting the artwork to the panel.
- Use different grounds or gessos to prep the surface some more; Golden White Absorbent Ground is ideal for the older artist and black gesso can look great with fluorescent colours overtop.
- Chromatemp, Chromacryl, Funstuff paints, and Opus Buzz Acrylic paints are all suitable for kids. With using any acrylic paint, it is recommended that children ages 4 and up be well covered with a smock or an old large shirt.
- To keep the mess to a minimum, opt for washable markers. Pair with the Bee Artist Marker Pad and watch the creative magic unfold!
- Explore our Crafts & Decoration section and find pipe cleaners, glitter glue, pom-poms, googly eyes, popsicle sticks, and more!

Political privilege galls more than wealth
Bending over backward to avow that they're not rich, celebrity politicians are missing the point. It's not wealth ownership that turns off voters. It's the political privilege granted in today's culture of cronyism.
Thanks to that privilege, beneficiaries can, and do, access outsized power, influence and exclusive opportunities for ambition and advancement — whether you wear $2,500 shoes or, like Bill Clinton, $250 shoes.
We might laugh instinctively when Hillary Clinton insists she was "dead broke" after leaving the White House and still isn't "truly well off." But it really is true that politics isn't the best way to make the most money. Relative to ambitious and talented people in the private sector, the Clintons aren't plutocrats.
Unfortunately, the reality is even worse. It's embarrassing to see so many politicians eager to deflect populist attacks against them misunderstand how to do it. As Hillary Clinton argued to the Guardian, populists "don't see (her) as part of the problem" because the Clintons "pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work."
Left unspoken are the plum speaking fees both Clintons command solely because of their partisan celebrity status; the influential positions in corporate America obtained solely because of their power position; or the gilded road opened for Chelsea Clinton, whose top-shelf academic credentials cannot account for her cushy job with NBC news, where she was paid over half a million dollars for sporadic work.
Americans can disagree over whether those kinds of windfalls are inherently wrong. We should all agree, however, that there's something especially corrupting about a political culture that uses the trappings of power and fame as a cash cow — the better to fund even further grabs for power, and even greater celebrity.
It's a lesson lost on Vice President Joe Biden, too. It's true that he's not swimming in cash. Yet he really believes he must tell people not to "hold it against" him that he doesn't own stock and only wears "mildly expensive" suits. Meanwhile, his son R. Hunter Biden has been appointed to the board of directors of a Ukrainian natural gas company.
Liberals are doing intellectual somersaults trying to simultaneously excuse and condemn this pattern of conduct at the top of the Democratic Party. Of course, Republicans aren't immune, either. But Democrats' efforts to capitalize on class envy and the rhetoric of "income inequality" have focused so much on wealth that Republicans can now swoop in to make the obvious point: Rich, poor or middle class, if you use political office to secure a life of unparalleled privilege for yourself and your posterity, you're worsening America's corruption problem.

Yeah, I'm having fun. Sky's bringing me down a little.
What do you think of Chi-town?
Chicago's hella cool. I like the way the breeze rolls off the lake…
What drugs are you on?
Man, I don't even know. We we're on Adderall then we got them OC's from you…we must-a puffed like ten bowls…I sniffed a bunch of Molly along the way…I-FEEE-L-GOO—you knew that I would now…
No H?
Nah, none of that…
Have you tried heroin before?
When was the first time?
With Fraggle. Top of the Haight.
Who's Fraggle?
Fraggle's this kid from Santa Cruz I used to hang out with.
Where's Fraggle now?
How old are you?
You and me are the same age, remember? Twenty.
Do you know a lot of people that have died?
I know a couple…doesn't everyone. Listen—why you asking me all these morbid questions. I don't want to talk about Fraggle, kay? You're bringing my head down…all right?
It's kewl, ese. I can go back to the stock questions.
Do that.
Fine—was it raining the day you were born?
My ma said it was raining, that's the story she tells me. A rainy day in the Bay Area—go figure!
Do you love your mother?
I love my ma! Sure—
What about your dad?
Never met him. I don't have a dad—I have two moms.
Melody…what are you scared of?
What happened to the easy questions [pause] I'm scared of being alone.
I don't know.
Yes, you do?
Because…because I don't trust myself.
What's really troubling you, Melody?
[Exasperated] The only trouble I have—right now—is that I have to baby sit a girl I'm not feeling.
So why don't you let Keith have Sky and then you can get with Teflon?
Nah, no way…
Why not?
Just cause, Thelonious.
I think you left me in that warehouse and robbed me, probably with that Fraggle guy.
That's absurd. Where did that come from?
I think you have a problem with drugs, specifically heroin.
This is a music fest and everyone's using—
Yeah, but not everyone's using heroin.
LISTEN—music fests are about getting fucked up and having a good time—I don't want to hear anything…especially from you, Thelonious…don't be a hippiecrit…
So, no problem with the H-bomb?
Shut up, Thelonious—you know what—this interview's over…

The Transformation of Surgery 1845-1918
Revision Summary
Blood Loss
Blood loss was a very common reason for
in the 19th century, amputations were the
most common form of surgery
and they were performed very
without barely any medical knowledge.
Surgery was
extremely painful
for the patient,
hot oil or hot irons
were used in an attempt to "seal blood vessels". They also tried tying them off with painful threads called
Blood transfusions (replacing lost blood) used to be performed with
animals and humans
, and there was a
very low success rate
KARL LANDSTEINER was the man who
identified blood groups
A, B, O and AB. He showed that
blood transfusions
had to be between
people of the same blood group
to be successful.
blood typing was little help
. Surgeons had to test the patients blood type and then find someone with the same blood type who was willing to take part in a transfusion. Doctors also had to find a way to stop blood clotting for storage.
RICHARD LEWINSON was a doctor who had been using
Sodium Citrate
to thin blood during transfusions suggested using it to store blood to set up blood banks for war surgeons. It had to be used quickly but it saved many lives.
Sodium Citrate treated blood seemed to keep fresher for longer when refrigerated.
ROUS AND TURNER found that
adding glucose to blood made it last longer,
so the army could now call on public donations to prepare for wars and when they were about to attack.
In 1917, the first blood bank was set up
in Cambria and it used 0 type blood, which had been proven safe to transfuse to all blood types.
Infection was the greatest killer until the Germ Theory of 1861 was understood.
Death rate was very high, approx 50%. Surgeons performed in blood stained aprons, used unwashed surgical equipment, re-used the same bandages and some didn't even wash their hands. Overall, there were extremely poor hygiene standards.
LOUIS PASTEUR 1861 invented the GERM THEORY - which linked
bacteria to decay.
He demonstrated that organisms were responsible for souring
wine and beer
, and how this bacteria could be killed by boiling and then cooling again - (now called
He then proved that these bacteria were introduced from the
Many people opposed
his theory because they believed that bacteria could
spontaneously generate
, and did not believe that such a
small organism could kill larger ones
But the French Academy of Science later accepted his results.
Pasteur later extended his theory to explain the causes of many diseases such as Cholera, Smallpox and Anthrax.
JOSEPH LISTER believed in the
Germ Theory,
and thought that
this bacteria was the same bacteria that settled on wounds ad caused infection.
He had seen
Carbolic Acid
used to treat sewage as it killed germs so during an operation he sprayed the patients wound with
Carbolic Acid spray - this was the first Antiseptic.
Opposition to Lister - Carbolic acid was an irritant, made their skin crack. It also slowed down operations and created more work. Results were not always the same. Many surgeons still refused the Germ Theory, still believing in miasmas (microbes in air).
directly linked a specific microbe to a specific disease,
which neither Lister or Pasteur could do. He linked microbes to Anthrax (animals) at first, then moved on to human diseases.
Before 1845, there was no reliable anesthetic.
Patients were held down during operations -
speed was the essence
which led to mistakes.
Death from Shock was fairly common.
surgery was possible.
First development of Anesthetics:
Laughing Gas
- Dental Anesthetic - HORACE WELLS -
Didn't knock you out properly - No serious operations
- Dental Anesthetic WILLIAM MORTON then Amputations ROBERT LISTON -
Flammable, heavy, damaged lungs, effects last for days
- Most Reliable Anesthetic - JAMES SIMPSON -
Long lasting, allowing more serious operations
. -
But this often made the chances of infection afterward greater.
Famous experiment with chloroform at a dinner party, his friends and himself went unconscious. Soon used Chloroform to
ease pain of childbirth
- wrote articles so others could copy his ideas.
Opposition - Chloroform was new and untested. Long term side effects? Some people died after having using it. Many religious people felt that pain (especially during childbirth) was God's intention and so should not be tampered with. It was difficult to get the exact dosage right. Chloroform could affect the heart.
Chloroform also led to the
Black Period of Surgery
. The death rate actually went up. Surgeons could now take their time in more complicated operations, but the potential for infection without the later understanding of the Germ Theory was massive!

First of all, congratulations to Jessica B. the winner of my Across the Universe giveaway. And thank you to all my wonderful followers and everybody who entered.
Looking for Alaska is the story of a friendless teenager, Miles Halter, who leaves his Florida home, for boarding school in Alabama. He quickly befriends his roommate-known as the Colonel- and sides with him in the prank wars with the "Weekday Warriors" - the rich kids who go home every weekend. He also finds himself falling for Alaska, a friend and fellow prankster of the Colonel's who, unfortunately, has a college boyfriend. She promises to find him a girlfriend, hijinks ensue.
I loved the first half of the book. Alaska seemed like the kind of girl I would have hung out with when I was a teenager, so it was easy to see why Miles, the narrator, was instantly attracted to her. With the first person narration, Green plays a somewhat cruel trick, allowing the reader to grow as attached to Alaska as Miles is. The other characters were also lively, especially the eccentric Colonel. I was definitely more attached to the two "supporting actors" than I was to Miles, but that's okay.
I like John Green's style, which is developing nicely in this book. He is a master of quirky details. For instance, Miles is a collector of famous last words, Alaska is a collector of books, her "life's library" (and of bottles of pink Strawberry Hill wine), and the colonel memorizes facts of geography. Each of the characters has a schtick, which is kind of Dickensian. The first half of the book captures nicely the day to day lives of these teenagers. - a little dramatic, a little rebellious, a little studious.
SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT. It is the second half of the book that disappointed me. I knew things had to change, because that's what happens in books. They have plots and dramatic arcs. However, I didn't want the change to come. I also thought that after the major event that is indicated by the section and chapter titles ("Before," "eighty-seven days before") the book dragged a bit.
Overall: I would recommend this book, but would qualify that the first half is better than the second. My readerly expectations were set high, and the follow through just didn't cut it. I'm starting to think I'm the type of reader for whom endings might never be satisfying.

Kimbo's ultimate risk deserves nod of respect
Kimbo Slice got famous beating people up in boatyards and back alleys, video footage eventually making its way to YouTube where millions addictively watched.
It was enough for a fledgling mixed martial arts organization to toss him into the cage and for CBS to breathlessly hype him as an elite fighter. Of course, he wasn't, a fact painfully exposed when in just his fourth fight he was knocked cold in 14 seconds by a pink-haired dude who was giving up 30 pounds.
Now, humbled by the results and abandoned by fraudulent promoters, he's going to try to legitimize himself.
As Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports first reported, Kimbo Slice will join the cast of "The Ultimate Fighter," the popular Spike TV reality show that will begin filming its 10th season on Wednesday and air in September.
In the season long tournament, there will be no hand-picked tomato cans for Kimbo. There will be no mismatched weight classes. There will be no protection from the promoters whose business rides on his reputation.
Perception will not be reality.
Reality will be reality.
If Slice can't compete with the other heavyweights desperate for a big league contract in the Ultimate Fighting Championship then he'll be off the show quickly. He could easily get bludgeoned again in his first fight and have no career to fall back on. Conversely, if he can survive then his career will skyrocket, a dose of credibility to match his charisma.
For all the outrageous hyperbole and insulting antics that surrounded Kimbo's brief MMA career – it says something when you give a black eye to cage fighting – there remained something endearing about the guy.
He wasn't the one claiming to be some great fighter, it was everyone around him. He's blue collar with a colorful background – briefly homeless, a one-time porn company bodyguard and, of course, violent Internet sensation.
He looked and acted like someone thrust into sudden fame trying to make an only-in-America buck the best way he knew how.
In this case, fighting for his (and his six kids') dinner.
If someone wanted to pay him six figures to prop him up as a star, why would he complain that he hadn't paid his dues?
That he's now willing to give "The Ultimate Fighter" a shot, willing to put himself out there, willing to gamble whatever is left of his drawing power says plenty about the man. Perhaps his options were limited, but he deserves credit for manning up and taking on what appear to be long odds for success.
"The Ultimate Fighter" is an entry-level opportunity to the UFC. Yet, while the opponents are all still relatively new to the sport, the talent is there. You can't just walk through this thing. It's produced future champions in a number of weight classes and year by year the quality of the contestants has improved.
There's also no doubt everyone else on the show will be gunning for the guy with the biggest name. They'll beg for a shot at him, knowing his fight(s) will draw huge viewership.
All this while having his real personality exposed as he lives in a communal house that's filmed 24/7. No more marketing, no more hand-picked interviews, no more fluff from CBS.
There's just nowhere to hide, in or out of the octagon.
Kimbo will be an underdog from Day 1. Odds are he won't last long.
And he's fine with it.
All Kimbo's critics ever asked was that he earn his oversized hype – not by knocking out bums at backyard barbeques, but taking on legitimate opponents.
It drove hardcore fans crazy that he was the headliner for the most watched MMA fight of all-time and remains exponentially more famous than any number of world class athletes who could drop him in seconds.
The last thing a sport fighting for mainstream credibility needed was the circus of exploding ears and overmatched opponents live on network television that Kimbo's EliteXC provided.
No one was more troubled at the farce than UFC president Dana White, who painstakingly built up the sport from its dark ages and saw Kimbo as an affront to his life's work. He called Slice every name in the book. He claimed he'd lose to some of the lightweights in the UFC. He celebrated when he finally got KO'd.
Now after being mocked and knocked Kimbo Slice will stand up and fight for his future, nowhere to run he'll go right into White's world fists swinging.
Even his harshest critics have to respect him for that.

Carrie Underwood
American Idol Winner, Season 4
Friday, January 20, 2006 1:30 PM
It's "American Idol" season and more people than ever are watching it. About 35.5 million people caught the show's debut this week to make it the largest entertainment programming audience in Fox's history.
Carrie Underwood , last year's winner and current "Cosmo Girl" and "Allure" magazine covergirl, was online Friday, Jan. 20, at 1:30 p.m. ET to weigh in on the tryout competition so far this season and to discuss her own already hit-making career ("Jesus Takes the Wheel," "Some Hearts") her new album, her upcoming tour and a million other things.
A transcript follows.
washingtonpost.com: Please stand by. Carrie Underwood will be with us shortly.
Montgomery, N.Y.: Congatulations on a wonderful album and all your #1's. Now that Jesus Take the Wheel is at #1 on all the charts, its time to start thinking about the next single and video. Has it been decided yet, and if so, what is it?
Carrie Underwood: It's been decided but we're trying to keep Jesus Take the Wheel at #1 for a while longer. So we're not that focused on the next single.
Maryland: Carrie,Have you felt pressure from the music and TV industry to change who you are to conform to their idea of what a star should be?
Carrie Underwood: I made it quite clear in the beginning who I am and everybody knows how important it is to stay that way, so nobody has ever tried to get me to change.
Chantilly, Va.: Do you keep up with any of the other contestants from your show?
Carrie Underwood: I do talk to Anthony, Lindsey and Constantine occasionally -- the two of us will e-mail each other. They're all doing well and they're good people.
Birmingham, Ala.: Hi Carrie,
So proud of you for winning -- you are the best yet and I love every song on your new CD -- suggestion, if you can get the permission to, please record Rascal Flatts "Bless the Broken Road" on your next album -- you did it better than the original during the competition
Carrie Underwood: I was doing that song and you never know what I'll be doing with Rascal Flats, you never know, maybe someday we'll record it.
Savannah, Ga.: They say the youngest child gets away with the most and are hardly ever spanked or disciplined. I believe you're a youngest child, correct? Did you get away with a lot?
Carrie Underwood: I think I got away with a lot but I was spanked a lot too.
San Francisco, Calif.: Hey, Carrie! Congratulations on your phenomenal success! My question: What is your favorite novel or movie? Thank you. Take care of yourself and God bless your benevolent heart.
Carrie Underwood: I remember reading books like Where the Red Fern grows when I was little, so I would say classics like that are my favorite.
I love scary movies. I don't really have a favorite; I just love them.
Washington, D.C.: Are all those scandals, gossip and quarrels on American Idol just pure hype, manufactured for publicity purposes?
Carrie Underwood: I imagine a lot of them are real but things can be creatively edited to make things look a little worse than they really are. Things can be exaggerated.
Odessa, Texas: Do you plan to play gutiar on your next recording or your stage show?
Carrie Underwood: I think it's in the plans for me to play when I'm on tour. I'm not good enough to play on the album though.
Philadelphia, Pa.: Dear Carrie,
Congratulations! You're doing so good. We're all pround of you!
ITV in United Kingdom is now airing the AI4, and I'm so excited. Does this mean that Some Hearts will be released in UK soon? Do you have plan to promote your album in Europe & UK?
Carrie, good luck for everything. I'm looking forward to seeing you perform National Anthem this Sunday!
Carrie Underwood: Right now we're focusing on America but plans are being made someday to release the album in other countries.
Carrie Underwood: I'm singing the National Anthem at the NFC game this Saturday between the Sea Hawks and the Panthers.
DuBois, Pa.: You grew up in the country. Were you a country girl dreaming of hitting it big some day? What made you decide to try singing, and did you ever imagine you would go so far?
Carrie Underwood: I've always loved singing. It was always just something that I liked to do. I always wanted to sing but I never thought of making it big. The doors just opened up in the right way.
Bowie, Md.: As a country girl, you came across as pure and wholesome which connected with a lot of viewers. Now that you're in Hollywood, how are you resisting some of the temptations that have hurt other young stars such as Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen twins, etc., as you become more of a city girl?
Carrie Underwood: I live in Nashville so I don't consider myself a city girl and things like that just aren't my style.
New York: Carrie -- are you planning to open for a big name act this spring? You mentioned in an interview once that you wanted to open for someone to get experience, etc., before going solo on tour. Just curious what your tour plans are at this time. Congrats on your album -- it is amazing!
Carrie Underwood: Thank you. I'll be doing several solo dates this summer but I will also be appearing with someone else. It just hasn't been decided yet.
Sterling, Va.: Hi Carrie. How has life changed for you since winning American Idol? Now that you've released your first major album, what things do you plan to do in order to develop professionally as a serious musical artist and ensure a lengthty career in the music business?
Carrie Underwood: I think it's important to be smart about everything. I haven't spent my money like crazy. I've taken other people's advice who are in the music business because I'm new.
Pittsburgh, Pa.: What's up Carrie?
First of all, congratulations on everything you've accomplished thus far! You're amazing.
Question: You have so many fans from numerous genres of music. How does it feel to touch the hearts and minds of so many people, and at the same time, spark an interest in country music? Personally, I have grown to really enjoy country music, all thanks to you.
Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to seeing you on March 10th in Atlantic City!
Carrie Underwood: I think it's wonderful that me being on American Idol has sparked people's interest in country music because it's a wonderful genre.
Nova Scotia, Canada: We've been hearing that "Don't Forget To Remember Me" will be the 2nd single. Is that true?
Carrie Underwood: I think that's the one we're leaning most toward.
Tysons Corner, Va.: Congratulations on your tremendous success.
Music critics often aren't kind to pop hitmakers, but I have to say that Ken Tucker's review of your album on NPR's "Fresh Air" was particularly nasty. He said "Jesus Take the Wheel" was all about mammon, not God. That sort of thing epitomizes, I think, why most people find NPR elitist and snobbish.
Which leads to my question. Are you a Christian, or otherwise religious? Can you share your denomination or affiliation?
Carrie Underwood: I am a Christian but I think so many people can relate to Jesus Take the Wheel because even if they're not Christian I'm sure there's been some point in their lives when they've needed help from something or someone, which is why the song is doing so well.
Greenbelt, Md.: Congratulatios Carrie. Wish you all the best in your endeavors.One question..do you have it in mind that someday you;ll get married and have kids?
Carrie Underwood: That's every litle girl's dream, although it's not in my immediate future. Someday that is something I'd like to do.
Buena Park, Calif.: Hi Carrie!
Do you read your fan mail that is sent to Checotah, Oklahoma? You must have a ton of them ....What do you do with all of them? Thanks!
Carrie Underwood: My mother is the primary reader because I'm not ever home. But she reads every one and usually relays many of them to me. She usually responds to the letters.
Washington, D.C.: You have great teeth. How do you keep them so white?
Carrie Underwood: (LAUGHS) I brush my teeth a whole lot, probably like around five times a day just because I don't like my mouth to feel gross. So I brush my teeth a lot.
Birimingham, Ala.: How has your hometown of Checotah faired during all the wildfires?
Carrie Underwood: It's pretty bad around my area but there's really nothing they can do about it.
Baltimore, Md.: I understand that your family is very important to you. Are they able to travel with you or do you have to travel alone?
Carrie Underwood: I travel alone. I talk to them a lot on the phone but they can't leave home.
Wenoville, Okla. : Carrie, you totally rawk. Do you still stay in touch with your college friends? Do you ever feeling like just putting on a blue wig and disguise and going incognito?
Carrie Underwood: I go back to Tahlequah (Okla.) a lot to see my friends. I go incognito to a lot of places.
Wasington, D.C. : You must have a ton of Carebears by now. What do you do with them all? What is the strangest one you've ever received?
Carrie Underwood: I do have a lot. I donate several of them to good causes.
Washington, D.C.: When you do decide to spend your hard earned money, what is going to be your first big splurge item? A fancy car, Manohlos, inquiring minds want to know!
Carrie Underwood: I like to buy people gifts. I think that's the only thing I really splurge on. I don't need a fancy car. (I'm a bad driver.)
Washington, D.C.: Now that you are a superstar, how do you manage to stay humble and keep that same attitude you had before you won the American Idol contest.
Carrie Underwood: I keep people around me, like good family and good friends. I think that's important.
NYC, N.Y.: How do you like fame? Are you tired of being recognized already?
Carrie Underwood: The positive definitely outweighs the negative. Fans are awesome but every once in a while a couple will go a little overboard. But that's it.
Albany, N.Y.: Hi Carrie -- how did it feel to meet the President and First Lady? What an honor it must have been to perform for them. Your rendition of Oh Holy Night gave me chills, by the way -- it was incredible. Good luck on everything in your future -- you are amazing!
Carrie Underwood: That's something very few people get to do so I was definitely honored and nervous.
Sierra Vista, Ariz.: Carrie,
You have no idea how cool it was to watch you every week last season! How hard was it to know you were among the frontrunners and keep the quality up show after show?
Carrie Underwood: Everybody on the show was so talented. Each week it was a challenge to do our best so I was just grateful that I got to the top ten.
Atlanta, Ga.: Carrie, love the album! Can you tell us more about the work you do to help homeless animals?
Carrie Underwood: I've done a lot of different things for the Humane Society (HSUS). I've donated a lot of articles of clothing (for them to auction off) and plan to participate in events they have coming up.
Carrie Underwood: Thank you for being my fans. Thank you for all the support. And keep watching.

The City of Sydney has today announced a number of exciting initiatives aimed at improving the night ecomony, nightlife, local music scenes, and basically moving towards fixing our city of culture.
It's all part of Sydney's Live Music and Performance Action Plan, which was implemented in 2014.
READ: Sydney's lockout laws are three years old, but where have they got us?
The new initiatives include:
- New grant funding dedicated to new and existing live music and performance venues, live music programming, night time venue safety initiatives and other projects that help diversify Sydney's late night economy.
- Streamlining the planning process for venues that want to introduce or increase their live music or performance programming, with expert planners on hand to assist in the application and assessment process.
- A discussion paper on entertainment noise that will invite industry and community feedback on proposed changes to planning controls to help plan for and protect live music venues, and how the City manages noise complaints.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the new programs will be introduced in order to bolster "new and existing live music and performance venues, live music programming, night time venue safety initiatives and other projects that help diversify Sydney's late night economy.
"Sydney has a strong community of artists, performers and musicians, with fantastic venues run by extremely dedicated people, and a wonderful and increasingly vocal community of fans," she continued.
"Live music is hugely important to Sydney, with recent research commissioned by the City identifying its value to the community at $353 million during last year alone.
"We're using every lever at our disposal to encourage more live music and performance, reduce unnecessary red tape and advocate for the regulatory reform needed for a strong and successful live music and performance sector.
"We're committed to supporting this important sector by working directly with venues and industry organisations, and delivering on the commitments we made in our Live Music and Performance Action Plan."
Another step in the right direction. Maybe things are looking up…

New Focus on Middle Class — The America This Recovery Has Left Behind
|+3.66 to 17,515.23
|+3.13 to 2,022.55
|+20.47 to 4,654.85
|10-YR Yield
|-.008 to 1.807%
|+$17 to $1,293.90
|Crude Oil
|-$2.30 to $46.39
The economic recovery has been great for Wall Street bankers and other 1 percenters. Not so much for the American Middle Class.
That's the conclusion of countless national surveys and studies — as well as the comments I've seen from you right here in Money and Markets. So it's no surprise that President Obama is poised to focus on the plight of Middle America in his annual State of the Union speech tonight.
From reports I've seen, we can expect to hear about the following:
Tax hikes that total $320 billion over the next decade, mostly targeted at wealthier individuals.
Tax breaks that will total approximately $235 billion, mostly aimed at those who make more moderate incomes.
|Tonight, President Obama's speech will focus on tax hikes on the wealthy and tax breaks for the middle class.
To drill down a bit further, Obama's plan would raise the capital gains tax rate to 28 percent from 23.8 percent at the high end of the income spectrum. Capital gains taxes would also apply to many more inherited assets. Banks with more than $50 billion in assets would also get hit with a new fee of 7 basis points — a move that could raise around $110 billion in tax revenue.
As for the cuts, Obama wants to institute a $500 tax credit for two-earner households in the middle of the income spectrum. The child tax credit would be tripled to $3,000, and its eligibility expanded to more middle-income earners.
Some have dubbed the suggested changes "Robin Hood-esque." That's because they would take more money from the rich and redistribute it to the poor. Obama's team simply calls the approach "Middle Class Economics."
Regardless of how you characterize them, though, these proposals are unlikely to make their way through a Republican-led Congress in their proposed format. Opposition is particularly intense over taxes that hit investment income. The idea there is that if you penalize investment, you'll get less of it, hurting economic growth and job creation.
Personally, I'd like nothing more than to see Middle America get a bigger share of the economic pie. We've seen fairly healthy job growth in the last several quarters, but wages just haven't kept up.
Higher health-care costs have offset a large chunk of the savings we're seeing at the gas pump. Inflation in the cost of things like college tuition has put the squeeze on many of us. And rock-bottom interest rates mean we're earning squat on our savings.
|"I'd like nothing more than to see Middle America get a bigger share of the economic pie."
Add it all up and you can see why politicians are starting to clamor for solutions! But do you think Obama's suggestions make sense? Are these the kinds of policies that will truly help Middle America? Or will they make things even worse? What should be done — if anything — to boost wages and take-home pay for the average guy on the street?
The Money and Markets website is your best outlet for ideas — so please do weigh in right now!
|Our Readers Speak
What happens when you put too much faith in global central bankers to get things "right?" And when you trust them to stick to their word? You get debacles like last week's "Swiss Massacre!"
As Reader Donald L. said at the website: "The Swiss debacle should remind (but won't) governments and investors of the dangers of trying to artificially manipulate markets and money. Lesson learned, until the next time."
Reader Mark added to that train of thought, and also noted that this won't be the first central bank shocker we'll have to deal with as investors. His take:
"Everyone keeps referring to the SNB decision as a black swan event, but they are wrong. The black swan happened a few years back when they decided to peg the franc to the euro. It has just played out now that the SNB came back to their senses.
"How long will the public keep putting up with the central banks and their disastrous policies? Just wait until the Fed tries to unwind their mess. They are clueless how to unwind the QE addiction. My guess, more drugs will be coming. Lord have mercy on us all."
Meanwhile, on oil, Reader Gary said we will have relatively low prices for a while … but that they won't last beyond the next several months. His view: "I see oil prices remaining low for the next 8-12 months. President Obama once said that we can't drill our way to lower gas prices. This appears to be untrue. Basic supply/demand from Econ 101 says otherwise.
"Fracking has a substantial upfront cost, and low ongoing cost. A typical well of this type lasts about two years. All existing wells will continue to produce, but new wells won't come online. As they deplete themselves, oil prices should slowly rise."
Finally, regarding the issue of income disparity, Reader Peter W. offered the following insights: "Where are increased wages and salaries aside for those in top management? Where is job security for most of the consumers who drive the economy? I've got news for the analysts. The top 1 percent do not drive the consumer economy."
Certainly that's the view the Obama administration is counting on to power its tax and spending policies through Congress. So we will have to see how the State of the Union speech resonates (or doesn't resonate) on Main Street!
As always, keep those thoughts coming over at the website!
|Other Developments of the Day
China's economy grew "just" 7.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014. While that sounds like a lot by Western standards, it means China's economy grew at the slowest rate last year than in any year since 1990. That's one reason commodity prices have come under pressure recently, and a key reason the International Monetary Fund just downgraded its forecast for world growth in 2015.
Speaking of China, regulators cracked down on the use of margin accounts to invest in Chinese stocks over the weekend. That caused the Shanghai Composite index to plunge 7.7 percent to 3,116.35 in trading yesterday, when U.S. markets were closed. That was the worst one-day rout since June 2008 (in the depths of the global financial crisis).
Despite concerns about growth overseas, the Federal Reserve remains fairly sanguine about growth here at home. That's the basic outline of a Wall Street Journal story from "Fed Whisperer" Jon Hilsenrath. The story suggests the Fed is still on track to start raising short-term rates this year, even as the timing of its first move remains a mystery.
Oil prices have been gyrating around in the mid-to-high-$40s over the past several days. But now it looks like even those who were "short" the oil market are coming around to my view — that the worst of the declines are likely over. One hedge fund investor quoted by the Journal called the declines "bloody nuts."
Of course, the price decline is already causing major problems for well-paid energy sector workers. Oil services firm Baker Hughes (BHI, Weiss Ratings: B-) is laying off 7,000 workers, while competitor Schlumberger (SLB, Weiss Ratings: B) is handing out 9,000 pink slips.
So what do you think? Is China toast? Is oil cheap? Is the Fed crazy for even thinking about raising rates? Let me know at the website!
Until next time,
Mike Larson

I purchased a high-end Asko washer/dryer set from the Portland store and the salesman was friendly and helpful. They delivered my new set promptly and took away my old one. To make a long story short, the dryer broke almost immediately, was fixed, and then broke again, one load later. It clearly had systemic problems, but Asko's policy was to keep fixing it, as opposed to replacing it. George Smith supported me in my assertion that I paid top dollar for a new, high-end dryer that was no longer in new condition due to the severity of the breakdowns and repairs. When Asko refused to...
I purchased a range, dishwasher, and microwave from George Smith Appliances. The products were name brands and performed as expected. Service was great until the sale was complete. The delivery truck drove over my yard, left a 10 foot divet, stopped, looked at it and just kept going. When I complained their manager Ty Walters promised to have someone come and fix it for 4 weeks and then just stopped responding to my calls and emails. I was happy with the appliances but very disappointed with the service.

T-Mobile has announced it is revamping its U-Fix offering including adding a new call-back service.
The Call Me Back service will enable new and existing customers to send call-back requests if they run out of credit.
A new £35 price plan has also been added that allows unlimited calls and texts from the UK to other T-Mobile customers.
Vanessa Potts, head of post pay at T-Mobile, said: 'We've made these changes to U-Fix because our customers were telling us they wanted more value, unlimited call or texting options and overall more freedom from their mobile plan.
'In particular, parents want a way for their children to contact them if they run out of credit.
'Ultimately, our primary concern is to reward our customers by offering them a call plan that is best suited to their lifestyles.
'U-Fix provides the cost control that parents appreciate through a monthly fixed allowance , whilst benefiting the kids by giving them the means to stay in touch – even if they run out of funds – through Call Me Back. '

Hi-Fi started dying as a useful term when every old console in the 50s and 60s was branded as Hi-Fi and then again in the 70s when Bose set new low-water marks in Hi-Fidelity for the masses..something they continue to propagate with their new kitchen counter friendly units....in the world of Hi-Fidelity those with the biggest marketing budgets win! Anyone hear of, or remember Nuance loudspeakers? The ultimate low-fi dressed up as Hi-Fi!

yeah well not everyone is so white bread, head-fi is currently the worlds largest audio forum and lossless ALAC or FLAC are the norm, with possibly 320kbs for some small portable convenience devices like cellphones. over there many are spending at least as much on headphones as speakers with systems up to 25-50k but most spending, using computer as source spend around 500-750 for an outboard dac, about the same on amps and owning multiple pairs of headphones between 250-1500 a pair and let me tell you, with a 3k headphone rig you get some pretty serious sound.
even in the portable arena people are using a battery powered solid state transport like an ipod, iphone or iriver feeding digital to a dac, the best of which are balanced and then feeding balanced solid state and some hybrid vacuum state amps and either fullsize headphones, or in ear musicians monitors with 4-8 drivers per ear and passive, or in some cases active digital 3 and 4 way crossovers, tuned to give you what is called 'ear flat' audio. they use a dummy head and your custom molded monitors to create a phase accurate digital XO profile which is loaded in the memory of a 6 channel crystal semi based portable dac with multichannel amp! this is all set up specifically for each owner, nobody else can use your monitors and you cant use any other monitors on it. about 3k all up for that setup
this rivals seriously treated audio rooms, the room is taken out of the equation
sure some kids do it for the bass boost, but they are not the majority
even an ipad directly feeding my jh13 monitors or using a small low outputZ low gain amp via the line out is pretty impressive

At a recent HiFi show I was surprised to see how many exhibitors had resorted to using the ipod as a source to demonstrate their equipment. Even until the recent past vinyl played on all manner of exotic turntables were used together with tube amps to lend an air of superiority.
It was this year that many demonstrators were playing what could be considered ''safe'' music and my response to this was just to turn around and walk straight out. On the few occasions that I managed to push them to play some really dynamic music the speakers would reveal their inadequacies especially in the bass. The sound would fall apart.
On the question of AV, a company proud of its reputation of supplying speakers to the Pro recording market and to which the quality was always quite impressive in the past, had given a demonstration that was just all wrong in its balance and when I tried to explain these deficiencies to the person controlling admission to the demo he just did not want to know. The same feeling of lacklustre was also evident in their other listening rooms.
The Audio Note demonstration was one of the very few up to standard as well as another company that has been around for six years but had only heard of this year. Every thing was right about them whether classical or Rock and well worth the seven grand asking price. Another company was very good in the midrange and treble area but unfortunately not the bass.
This year had been the biggest surprise in terms of the retrograde direction in quality, even more so than the suspicion that the Ipod generation are no longer able to mix.
I have heard CDs that sound identical to the same album on vinyl and also CDs that are superior and also worse than vinyl. It must be down to the final mix.

i always had the taste for good sound quality even as a kid , but then i didnt have the money or knowledge to buy or diy . I think for most people as they get older and have more money to spend they want better sound quality.

How about amplifier quality? In my experience this hasnt improved at all the last 30 or 40 years. Not that I exist that long, but my old mcintosh sounds much better than most of the other reasonably affordable amps. You'd expect quality would go to lower cost amps over the years. Why is that not happening? Or am I just plain wrong?

Mcintosh is a very good amp most affordable amps arent , i think the problem with affordable amps is crapy components and undersized power supplys , my arcam after recaping including power supply capacitors sounds so much better and effortless. It´s not only the companies to blame the consumers also want the cheap stuff and those who want the best gear most of the times get ripped off

The problem is then than that quality hasn't improved because component manufacturers just found cheaper ways to make components, not very focused on improving quality, rather compromising it. And that is because people are satisfied with the cheap and smaller stuff.
Marketing should find a new word for HIFI so they can promote quality again
How about chip amps, they are getting better I guess? Will they / have they surpassed my mcintosh?

indeed , signals present on the record that are peculiar for the ear/brain to elaborate are in the -60dB range , and they are the 'ambient' , reflected sound of the instruments that are captioned by the mic . They'll be cut off inelegantly by the compression . This in not valid for synthetic sounds that are already avulsed from real world .
