A federal jury has rejected a lawsuit by actor Stephen Baldwin and a New Orleans businessman that claimed actor Kevin Costner and others tricked them out of millions of dollars in a dispute stemming from the 2010 Gulf oil spill, an attorney for Baldwin said Friday.
Baldwin and Spyridon Contogouris had said the fellow actor fooled them into selling their stock in a company that made oil spill cleanup machines the same week that BP placed a $52 million order for the technology.
The decision against Baldwin was made Thursday evening.
"The jury was doing their best to understand everything in a ... seemingly complicated issue," Costner told CNN affiliate WWL.
"They were really smart," he said; it was "my good luck that they saw the truth of the story."
Baldwin's attorney, James Cobb, said he was disappointed with the decision.
"We believe we put on a case sufficient for the jury to find in our favor," he told the station. "The jury found the other way."
"Stephen was confident and hopeful of a verdict, but he was disappointed," Cobb added. "But he is accepting of it."
The oil separation technology was developed in the 1990s by a company created by Costner, but Baldwin became involved while in New Orleans to produce a documentary about the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico in May 2010.
Baldwin and Contogouris decided to sell their stock soon after getting it because of differences with other shareholders, according to the lawsuit. They signed an agreement to sell their shares to Patrick Smith, who then transferred them to a company partly owned by Costner, on June 11, 2010.

Lickety Slip lets you scrapbook as much as you want and store as many photos as you want while creating a fabulous Bazzill cardstock co... Full Description & Details.
The page protectors that are compatible with this album are:
Bazzill Basics 12 x 12: 4x6 Photos
Bazzill Basics 12 x 12
I couldn't wait to get this in the mail. I was very disappointed when it came with 16 sheet protectors and only 4 were 12x12. What am I supposed to do with that? The rest were 4x6. Needless to say, I had to order refills the next day. Like the album but disappointed that getting it with out refills didn't do me any good.
love this album. only problem is rings tend to separate allowing page protectors to slip through.

Objections: Don't leave the house without (handling) them
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012In our last blog post we covered the 5 steps you must take in properly handling an objection.
Remeber the 5 steps?
Relate, Identify, Isolate, Handle and CLOSE
I will walk you through the process for what most would agree is the most common objection:
Price Too High
First off you must ask yourself, 'Why am I getting this objection?'
You must view every objection as if there is a hole in your presentation or marketing strategy that needs revision or improvement.
Did you build enough value?
What does THIS homeowner value?
What did you show them to justify a premium price?
Is your price to high? What are they comparing my price to?
If you can't answer to yourself the reason a homeowner should choose your service, how can they be expected to make a decision?
So now you have tightened up your pitch, asked the right questions and still got the same objection…………….
Time for the 5 steps:
RELATE- "John, I am the same way too I'm always looking for the best deals. I sometimes even buy something ONLY because it was a great bargain. (story to build rapport) I bought a three year supply of toothpaste from Costco last weekend and should see a return on that investment in about 6 months…"
IDENTIFY- "I have been in this industry long enough to know that there is always a reason someone's price may be lower than mine, is price your only decision factor?"
- Yes- "My prices are extremely competitive, but let's take a look at the bid to see where your money is going and ways we can agree on the amount of your investment"
- No- "Are you comfortable with myself/company/ service? (if no then handle those objections) Yes? "Great well if you are happy with everything else besides the price, let's find an amount of work you're comfortable with"
HANDLE-"John, the industry is very competitive right now, which means I wouldn't still be in business if my prices and services weren't competitive. You've told me you like everything about myself, my company and the work we wrote up in this bid. I can write three more bids with three different prices if you want to compare what you get for different prices."
CLOSE-"Which package do you think is best for you?" "When are you looking to get this work started?"
The process in which you implement and follow this system will be just as beneficial as any words that are included. Having a plan for handling objects makes the sales process easy and painless for both the homeowner and your company. Don't leave another house unless you've done everthing you can to earn their business; if you don't, someone else will.

I have been a fan of the Chicago Rush arena football team since the team debuted in 2001. Scheduling conflicts somehow kept me away from attending a game this season, but that changed last Saturday night and I had a blast!
We got to the game early and watched the Rush run through a few drills. I felt my interest starting to stir as I watched the Rush and the San Jose SaberCats run through some drills. It is so fast-paced and you are so close to the action. It immediately draws in the crowd.
We headed back outside to get a taste of their well-known tailgaters. Despite us arriving empty-handed, Ben Sanders of the tailgating crew, a part of the Rush fan club, welcomed us with open arms and delicious Greek chicken.
We quickly realized this was no ordinary tailgating. Sanders, who started tailgating here in 2001, the debut year of the Rush, stated that it is the best tailgating in the Arena Football League and I cannot disagree. Next time I will be bringing something to that party.
The Rush returned that fandom by dedicating a large area in the parking lot for the tailgaters. Their numbers have grown steadily and I plan on joining the fun again. This is just one example of how the team treats their fans well.
The game itself was a battle, which the Rush lost 75-61. The SaberCats jumped to an early lead. The Rush hung tight, but were always playing catch-up. Head coach Bob McMillen summed it up perfectly when he said, "We just couldn't come through with one more big play to turn the game in our favor."
Throughout the game, there were various activities involving fans. The Rush organization really puts an emphasis on fan interaction and connection. I really felt like the team actually appreciated every fan! How cool is that?
After the night, I realized just how much I had missed attending Rush games. Their next home game is this Sunday, July 8 against the first place San Antonio Talons. With only three games left, every game is important to the playoff hopes of the second place Rush.
I am really hoping the Rush makes the playoffs. It will be great for the team, the fans, the city and me! I would love to head out to the Allstate Arena to watch some playoff action!
7:38 am on Wednesday, July 4, 2012
Hey John!!!
So glad you had a great time with us in the tailgate lot. I believe mexican is on the fan club menu for Sunday.........come early.........and come hungry!!!
Look forward to seeing you.
John Wroblewski
7:50 am on Wednesday, July 4, 2012
I loved the experience. I can't make the next game, as I will be covering Days of the Dead convention in Indianapolis, but I am really hoping for some playoff action!
Let's go Rush!
9:08 pm on Thursday, July 5, 2012
We're hoping for some play-off action too!!
The fan club is heading up to Milwaukee on the 14th to cheer on The Rush......
I believe there's a seat or two left on the bus if you're interested. You can leave us a message on our Facebook page.. https://www.facebook.com/TheChicagoRushFanClub

Common Core Standards for pre-kindergarten classrooms
February 7, 2012 | The Mississippi state Board of Education has approved new Early Learning Standards for Classrooms Serving Three-year-old Children and Early Learning Standards for Classrooms Serving Four-year-old Children. These standards for English language arts and mathematics are aligned with the kindergarten Common Core State Standards and will replace the Early Learning Guidelines for language and mathematics.
The Early Childhood Institute was awarded a grant by the Mississippi Department of Education to develop the Early Learning Standards. A team of early childhood experts from across the state met in the summer of 2011 to collaborate on the creation of the standards. Team members included prekindergarten and kindergarten teachers, Head Start experts, university faculty, early childhood professionals and elementary school administrators.
The Early Learning Standards are available from the Mississippi of Department of Education website

Allegations of high-level corruption in Spain's ruling conservative party followed Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to Berlin, where on Monday he strongly denied that he or other top conservatives had accepted secretive cash payments from the party for years.
"The things that are attributed to me are false. I can say it again today," Rajoy said at a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It was the first time he taken questions from reporters since the Spanish newspaper El Pais published allegations about the payments Thursday.
On Saturday, Rajoy denied the allegations in a speech to his party's top leadership that was televised nationally.
In Berlin, where he and Merkel tried to keep the news conference focused on their bilateral economic talks, Rajoy said he has a "stable" government and an absolute majority in the Spanish parliament. Spain's Socialist opposition leader, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, has demanded that Rajoy resign over the scandal.
Rajoy also announced that lawyers for his Popular Party are studying possible lawsuits against those who have made the allegations, leaked the allegations or published the allegations. A statement issued by the party earlier in Madrid said all legal options were on the table, including potential criminal or civil lawsuits.
Merkel said she is confident that Spain and Rajoy will solve Spain's deep economic problems, and she said bilateral talks with Rajoy indicated that Spain has been enacting structural and economic reforms aimed at reactivating the economy.
She added that Germany is well aware of Spain's high level of unemployment -- the rate is 26% -- but she said she is sure the reforms will make an impact.
On Thursday, El Pais published what it said were handwritten documents detailing 19 years of secretive cash payments.
The payments continued through 2009, the newspaper reported, including tens of thousands of dollars paid to Rajoy.
Rajoy, saying he has nothing to hide, announced Saturday that his income tax statements and declaration of personal wealth will be posted this week on the prime minister's website.

Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
My last discussion post sparked quite a lot of discussion recently {mostly outside of the thread itself, lol} about the significance and utility of celebrity status (and not just the Hollywood kind) in raising awareness and bringing attention to important issues and worthy causes. Now my mind is a little jumbled up about all of this right now, so forgive me before I start, but I'm generally trying to get a feel for what the best way would be (in a very practical sense) to actually achieve a type of celebrity status online for the purpose of accomplishing such things.
{I.e., raising peoples awareness of important issues, etc.}
Now obviously Chiren & Reese and the other members of the original I-Power "Crew" like Tania & Dean, etc. chose to utilize YouTube to gain the majority of their audience, (or fans;) but there are lots of other popular people out there who have taken different paths. Some people achieve their celebrity status offline first, whether it be in politics or elsewhere, and then establish an online presence afterward, or perhaps along the way. Others somehow manage to become successful bloggers, or to establish popular websites without doing videos at all; and still others manage to gain a bit of notoriety by simply becoming popular contributors on public sites; and etc. The list could go on, and there are many different examples and possibilities.
The thing that hit me today, and which prompted me to write this post, was the thought / acknowledgement that most people out there in this world really do not have a lot of time to spend online because of jobs and families and such, and so they naturally tend to funnel and focus the time that they do have into a very few limited activities, and that makes it very difficult for anybody online to get {and maintain} their attention. Which, to me, automatically begs the very practical question of: What is the best online platform to use if you really want to maximize your chances of getting the crap that you throw out noticed? lol
So, cast your vote y'all. What's your opinion on this? If I wanted to become a star, or to have some success with a startup website, etc., what's the best place to get noticed online?
Is it YouTube? Reddit? Twitter? Facebook? Something else?
Oh! and money is not important for the purposes of this question. I know that some people would be interested in the answers for that reason, but for me it is strictly about how to best bring peoples attention to things that I think they need to know more about.
Thanks in advance for your input and opinions. ;-)
Had to throw this in as an afterthought for the lulz. hahahaha
How dare you link a Nickelback song on here Shiznit! That awful song is playing in my head now and I didn't even have to click the play button.
Anyways I've been thinking about trying to do a blog of some kind so I could hone my writing skills and vent outside of facebook about politics and religion.
the problem is, there's so much crap on youtube and all those sites being uploaded every day, it's really hard to make a breakthrough.
But I think there are some things that interest a lot of people in general, and if you incorporate those things into your plans, you will have much bigger chances of succeeding.
A few things that come to mind are sex, girls, money, fast cars, games, humor, food, or some kind of REALLY freaky shit that will be enough to spark some interest.
This may sound a little douchy, but you have to take into consideration that over 90 percent of internet users are people who are looking for something sex related and possibly funny.
Yeah, YouTube and many other sites have changed; and it's definitely a lot more difficult these days to get noticed. And I also think that you have a good point about the
"things that interest a lot of people in general,"
and I've mentioned to a few people recently that I think we need to find a way to engage "average" people around here more, like with topics that they can easily understand and get involved with. We would have to make things a little easier to handle for the masses, so to speak, because most people out there are just not very intellectual or philosophical; and they really don't want to stress themselves out trying to solve any problems -- they just want things neatly wrapped up for them and presented in packages with pretty bows. hehe
Some of the recent suggestions that I've heard along this line recently are that we attempt to cover recent news items more often, as well as "hot topics"; and {one that I've repeatedly heard again & again} that we should add a few more Forum Categories. Now I like both of those ideas; but I also think we will need to be very careful with the last one, to ensure that we do not change the very nature of what I-Power is all about, and why it it was founded.
It's not the content that's at fault, or the site.. people will make it what they want it to be.
If you are complaining about people not wanting to be activists that's not something that should necessarily change for all people, I mean, who would make such a claim? That's what I read off your comment.
If you want a lot of attention on youtube it has to be warranted, for it to legitimately happen and stay like that. This doesn't happen until someone happens to create something of value for every viewer. Your problem in becoming famous isn't in hte content on youtube that already exists; it's in making something that's better than what other people can already create for free or very low costs/work/effort. Cat videos are real valuable entertainment; you can't just denounce them and say they're worth nothing because they're not philosophical. That's what we call a dictatorship I think.
I would choose reddit. It seems likelier to attract people that would actually take the time to read the posts on i-power.
>to actually achieve a type of celebrity status online for the purpose of accomplishing such things.
Boy, that's not something I expected to ever actually read online. haha
First you need to have a great cause, something that's interesting. It has to warrant attention not for the sake of being updated on a story, but for new and engaging information. I look(or looked) for new Ron Paul speeches because they were like a brand that connected me to the insightful stuff that I could actually engage with intellectually unlike speeches from other politicians. Websites with regular feeds on a certain 'brand' of content, they are worth something if the content is always something legitimately new AND interesting.
Sadly, though, the truth of the matter isn't always helpful to us. Unless you have a REALLY great cause with particular value, it may be that people won't give you attention as much as someone like Athene. Athene is a personality with his own 'story' so he's also riding on that in a primary sense. Like Julian Assange.
also: it's never the website that's the main reason for fame. Again, look to the fundamental reason of why people keep updated on a particular topic. Ask yourself, "Even if I could get people reading my blog every day.. isn't that a waste of their time? What would they get from it that's better than anything else? [And if nothing: doesn't it make sense that the 'attention economy' works like it does?]"
So, you need a very specific cause, to get continued exposure, and you need to be the best speaker about it. Otherwise, others will beat you to it (which is what I call a win/win scenario: best person does the job, and millions of people are able to enjoy something a little more for the same actual cost or less).
What you could do is develop a particular brand of activism.. although, I don't really know how you get A LOT OF PEOPLE interested in activism in general. The very nature of the word implies that those who are active are not behaving normal :/ .. and indeed that's a core societal problem I would say; nothing a video or brand can fix by itself.
For "the celebrity status" I would go without a doubt for Youtube. I got to know almost every internet celebrity through Youtube. I can't say that I even found one through Reddit or Facebook. I like to know the face/personality behind the articles, tweets or messages and what better way to do this then by video.
As for how to gain that status I'm not certain but I thought of some possibilities:
- You can make content specific for one cause/group (and thus target a subgroup of IPower) and make connections that way.
E.g. the latest news/activity/development about cause/group x.
- You can make content about everything happening on the site.
E.g. summarize the latest "hot" topics with views and opinions in an entertaining way.
I don't know if Ipower has any official Twitter, Facebook, Youtube or Reddit account, but if so: You can let the users make content (for their groups) and submit it somewhere to be publicized through these channels. An admin can then review them and if suited post it with these accounts. This way you group everything a bit more up, draw attention to IPower in general and give people a chance to post "anonymous" (although I doubt that is a real barrier).
Off topic: I would use every widespread medium available to spread the content. You can make content on YouTube and link it on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and visa versa. Your target audience is probably not in one place.
I would use every widespread medium available to spread content. You can make content on YouTube and link it on Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook; and visa versa. Your target audience is probably not in one place.
The shotgun approach. Yeah, this is an idea that seems to keep popping up in our voice-chat discussions. I-Power does indeed have Facebook & Twitter accts, but they haven't been used in a very long time; so I guess I'll ask Reese about granting us access to use them soon. ;-)
I'm thinking youtube videos with reddit links and we abuse the reddit algorithm by all ipower members upvoting the link at the same time (cos reddit moves posts higher up if lots of people vote at the same time)
Something that gets ignored an awful lot is podcasting. I'm a huge podcast subscriber (listen to around 20 of them) and I see a lot of people in this game enjoying rather high levels of success. You do have to know a little bit about audio editing (which is easy to learn), but if you have good, steady content you can get quite an audience podcasting.
You get the added benefit that getting listed in the iTunes store is practically free advertising depending on what category you are in.

Teleclasses begin Tuesday, Sept. 1. Live and local to Pasadena, Ca. begins Wed. Sept. 2.
So many of us are emotional eaters. We eat because we need to not feel. We eat because we're sad, lonely, frustrated, depressed, stressed and way more!
We eat because it's there; because we're out shopping; because of social pressure; because it tastes good.
We're the only animal that eats and overeats because of taste.
How would it be if you could enjoy EVERY savory bite? Instead of eating and overeating because it TASTES SOOOO GOOD, how about if you could taste one bite and savor it so highly, you didn't need another?
What about if, when stressed, sad, lonely, instead of reaching for food, you automatically found another source of comfort?
How about if you loved yourself SO much that you didn't succumb to societal pressures yet were able to enjoy friends, family and celebrations without going off your food program?
What if, because you'd resolved childhood issues, you didn't need to feed to suppress them anymore?
What they said at 1st meeting:
I always reach for and eat a full carton of ice cream when I'm stressed.
I go for the carbs ~ pasta, potatoes, BREAD!
I don't believe this will work.
I feel really silly doing this.
I'm afraid to drop weight because....
What they said at 2nd meeting:
It wasn't the tapping but, I'm not reaching for the carbs now.
I went for brown rice (instead of ice cream) and this is the first time I didn't beat myself up.
I still don't believe in this; I think it's silly. I lost 5 pounds.
I lost 4 pounds.
I'm excited!
I now feel hopeful.
Two days left to get the best teleclass price. We've extended it until Monday, the 17th, 5 p.m. Pacific. Don't look back and say "I wish I had..." when you start seeing the appreciations from people who did.
The price for the local class ~ you'll not see it again. This class is worth SO much more than what I'm charging and, after Sept. 2, it's going up!
How would you like to be able to say ~ "no, I'm not hungry" or "no, I don't want that right now"? How would you like to be eating sanely, for hunger, not for emotions? It's possible.
You know what's nice too? Feeling so calm around food. Not feeling stressed about it AND the excess weight; not beating yourself up; relaxing and enjoying life w/out worrying about food choices. It's MAHVELOUS!
Teleclasses begin Tuesday, Sept. 1; Live and local to Pasadena, Ca. begin Wed. Sept. 2.

I came across an interesting behavior today. I was dynamically loading a user control into a RadTooltip using Page.LoadControl("MyUsercontrol.ascx")
Canceling the tooltip causes a partial-page postback. If I then reopen the tooltip before I do something to cause a full-page postback, the user control in the tooltip loads with the cached control state from the canceled instance. It appears that the second call to Page.LoadControl() returns an object with the same ID, and ASP.NET automatically wired it up.
My solution: in an event handler for the user control's Cancel button, I change the user control's ID to some throwaway text, like ...

I've been working on a multilanguage web site using ASP.NET localization. I wanted to return unique meta tags for each page in the user's language. There are a handful of ways to accomplish this (MasterPage codebehind, base page codebehind, etc); here's the approach I took:

Most UI elements in Silverlight have a Focus() method, but because of a known bug in Silverlight 3, calling that method does not actually give the element focus! One workaround is to first call the UpdateLayout() method of the element, and then call Focus(). For example, if I have an TextBlock called txtName that I would like to have focus on load, I could do this:
public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); txtName.UpdateLayout(); txtName.Focus(); }
If this element is not directly on a page but instead is in a control, this approach may not work. In that case, wire ...

I've recently installed Windows 7 on a powerful desktop and a netbook. For the most, it's been an easy transition, but every so often I'll run into little quirks.
I use the excellent TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) to connect to SVN repositories, and one of my favorite features is the icon overlay in Windows Explorer so you can see at a glance the files which are under source control and their state. However, I was only seeing a couple of the possible icons. What could be wrong?
After some investigation, it turns out that Windows enforces a hard limit on ...
