New York • Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke owned 2013 in music.
Nielsen Entertainment announced late Tuesday that Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" was the top-selling album with 2.4 million units sold. Thicke's ubiquitous "Blurred Lines" was the best-selling song with 6.4 million tracks sold.
Albums sales were down. Only 289.4 million albums were sold in 2013, compared with 316 million a year before. Single tracks also saw a decrease, by 6 percent. Streaming, however, was up 32 percent with 118.1 million streams. The sales figures include data from YouTube, Spotify and other digital outlets. Baauer's "Harlem Shake" topped the year with 489,674,000 streams.
New releases from Eminem and Luke Bryan rounded out the top three albums. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" placed second and third on the singles list.

Found March 11, 2013 on
Fox Sports Arizona:
The Cardinals continued their roster purge Monday by releasing running back Beanie Wells, the team's first-round pick in 2009 who started 23 games in his career but was slowed by numerous injuries.
The 24-year-old Wells played in eight games last year, starting seven, while dealing with knee and turf-toe issues and finished with just 234 yards on 88 carries. He was also benched after a fumble in the Cardinals' loss to the Bears in their home finale. That came after a career year in 2011, when Wells ran for 1,047 yards and 10 touchdowns on 245 carries while playing through a knee injury.
Wells also had knee problems in 2010, when an injury the team called a bruise was later revealed to be a torn meniscus that required surgery. In his four years with the Cardinals, Wells played in 51 games -- missing multiple games in all but his rookie year, when he missed part of training camp due to an ankle injury -- and had 2,471 yards and 24 touchdowns.
His release will save the Cardinals about 1.5 million in salary-cap space and did not come as a surprise. Asked last month about the team's running game, new coach Bruce Arians praised 2011 first-round pick Ryan Williams -- "I know all about Ryan and I love him" -- and did not mention Wells, who would have been entering the final year of his contract.
USA Today also reported over the weekend that the Cardinals have expressed interest in free-agent running back Reggie Bush, who averaged 1,036 yards and six touchdowns in his two years with the Dolphins and is also considered a strong receiver out of the backfield. Bush turns 29 next month.
Wells took to Twitter after being informed of his released to thank the Cardinals:
Just been informed that I'll be released today. Would like to thank the Cardinals organization for give me a chance to live out my Dreams Beanie Wells (@BeanieWells26) March 11, 2013

Tip itself was great quality but the RBP tip adaptor was totally not fine. First the tip was never made for an LT gas engine that's fine they make adapters. 2 3/4 into 4". It's exactly the same circumference as my exhaust so it butts it it doesn't go over or in stock exhaust, adaptations had to be made whatever. Furthermore the RBP adaptor doesn't even fit in the RBP tip, it's too long. Fortunately fabrication on the truck fitment made cutting the adaptor down a half inch the easy part.

I love the way the exhaust tips look and this was the best price I found them at. And if I could get my $10 discount added to the adaptors that I just ordered that would be awesome.

2. Ask how much time will be spent in the training room versus on the shop floor. "Technicians learn by doing, and effective instructor-led training is focused and hands-on," Martin says. "The instructor should leave the long PowerPoint presentation at home."3. Remind your supplier that he's in town to deliver a training session to your technicians, not a sales pitch to you or the parts buyer.4. Finally, ask whether the information would be delivered more effectively online. "In some cases, online training may be all you need. In others, it can give your technicians a good base of knowledge-a prerequisite-so they're prepared when the instructor arrives," Martin says.This last point is becoming more relevant as supplier training programs evolve to include not only a hands-on element but also web-based training programs with streaming video, audio, live chat, web-based seminars.Martin says a technician who's competent and productive may need just a refresher-perfect for a course that's delivered online. A technician who's switching from PMs to brake work may learn better by participating in a webinar, a live, interactive demonstration delivered over the Internet with audio, video, and the ability to ask questions. If he misses a session or wants to see it again, he can replay it later.In many cases online instruction is self-paced and can be taken any time, anywhere there's a computer with an Internet connection. Technicians can take their training at home, if that works best.There's no substitute for a good trainer, someone who knows your people and your equipment and can convey expertise that makes both work better. But online training-with its expanding range of course material, easy access, and ability to monitor a participant's progress-has set a new standard for customer and product support. And it's delivering the added value of using components and replacement parts from a reputable supplier.From a February 2010 ArvinMeritor White Paper.

Alfie Boe: 'I've never fitted in and I'm not going to now'
Despite his success, the tenor Alfie Boe has upset many within the opera world. His latest collaboration will ruffle more feathers. He talks to Emily Dugan
Sunday 16 October 2011
For most classical singers, choosing a duet partner requires meticulous scouring of operatic talent. It does not usually involve trawling through a back catalogue of Seventies rock heroes.
But then Alfie Boe has never followed the path of most opera singers. The English tenor's latest musical collaboration is with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, with whom he has recorded a song on his latest album. A long-time fan of Plant after listening to Zeppelin as a teenager, Boe took the chance to accost him about the project after a chance meeting in a bar in London's Soho.
He is still pinching himself that Plant agreed. "He's in my phone as 'Rock God' and whenever he phones it plays the 'Immigrant Song' ringtone," Boe gushes. "I plucked up the courage and asked if he'd be interested in dueting a song on my new album, Song to the Siren. When we recorded it, I couldn't believe I was stood three feet from Robert Plant screaming into a mic. I love my rock music and I'm a big Led Zep fan. I think that's probably something else the opera world can't recognise."
Boe is weary of the opera world's opinion of him. Despite appearing on most of Britain's major operatic stages, from the English National Opera to the Royal Opera House, he has never felt fully accepted by the classical establishment.
The 38-year-old believes his peers looked down on him from the moment he was chosen to play the lead in Baz Luhrmann's Broadway production of La Bohème. Born in Fleetwood, Lancashire, he was the youngest of nine children and was working as a car mechanic when he discovered a love for singing in karaoke bars. As his popularity grew, so, too, did the disdain of the traditionalists who found his screaming fans and hit records somewhat vulgar.
He caused horror among opera aficionados earlier this year when he told Radio Four's Desert Island Discs that he found opera "boring" and never went to see it. A number of leading figures in the classical world criticised him.
Award-winning opera director Sir Jonathan Miller was one of the first, saying: "If Alfie Boe thinks opera is boring then it's very odd that he's in it at all." That comment upset Boe, who had worked with Miller just months before. But far more wounding was Miller's pay-off line: "I know he comes from something other than opera: he was a car mechanic, I believe."
It summed up what Boe had known for a long time: in the stuffy world of classical music someone from his background never fitted. "They can't take any criticism, the operatic world," he said. "I basically said something that is plain obvious to a lot of people: opera is boring. It takes a really good production to make it exciting and sometimes they don't cover that."
Boe believes such criticism would not have been levelled at other opera singers more in tune with the establishment. "I think it was a bit discriminatory," he said. "If Antonio Pappano had said it, or even if Jonathan Miller had the nerve to say, 'There are productions out there that I cannot stand watching because they're so boring', they would have been seen differently and taken with an element of respect. But, because of my background, because I came from a working-class family and used to be a car mechanic, they had a dig. I've had so many stabs before, I could leak all over – but I don't care. There are a few more spots to hit first."
Despite his reputation for bluntness, Boe is disarmingly mild-mannered in person; his soft Lancashire speaking voice betrays little hint of irritation.
In truth, he enjoys the role of enfant terrible: "I quite like being known as the bad boy of opera. I think I ruffle some feathers but only for the right reasons. I hate injustice and I like people to be treated fairly and equally. I don't believe in the class system of the operatic world."
Boe is unlikely – still less so while burdened by such memories – to mellow any time soon. "The music has always been the thing for me, but sometimes the way that you're treated can be a real insult," he says.
Despite this, he says he intends to continue singing opera, while developing pop music on the side. "I'm nowhere near finished climbing the ladder for where I want to be. There are loads of people I'd love to sing with: Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie."
And he will do all this despite it offering further fuel to his stuffy critics? "Yeah," he says. "Boo-hiss to the opera establishment."
Boe's new album Alfie is out on 31 October on Decca

Open enrollment in policies on the health care law's online marketplace will conclude at the end of March.

Don't miss this opportunity to be in compliance with the law before it costs you more. The forum is scheduled to start at 6PM and end at 8 PM at the City Council Chambers at City Hall.

Coconut oil comes from coconuts, olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There are plenty of official canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all its low-fat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find sites that tell the less palatable details. Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola.
Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words "Canada" and "oil." Canola is a genetically engineered plant (GMO) developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants. By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are toxic to humans and other animals. MORE February 26, 2014 01

Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, was in critical
but stable condition Sunday at a Boston hospital with an undisclosed illness.
Nantucket Cottage Hospital spokesman Noah Brown said Heinz Kerry, 74, heir to
the Heinz ketchup fortune in Pittsburgh, was admitted shortly after 3:30 p.m. to
the emergency room of the resort island's only full-service medical provider.
She came to the facility in critical condition, and remains that way, although
she has been stabilized, Brown said.
A statement from John Kerry's spokesman, Glen Johnson, said the secretary of
State accompanied her to the hospital, and he went with her as she was
transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston -- the largest hospital
in New England and the primary teaching hospital for Harvard University.
"The family is grateful for the outpouring of support it has received and aware
of the interest in her condition, but they ask for privacy at this time,"
Johnson said. The couple have been married since 1995.
Nantucket Police Lt. Jerry Adams said a call requesting medical aid was received
just after 3:30 p.m. for a home on Hulbert Avenue, and an ambulance was
dispatched. Online records show the property is connected to Heinz Kerry's
Heinz Kerry is the widow of former Sen. John Heinz and has an estate in Fox
Chapel. She is the chair of The Heinz Endowments, Downtown, which was valued at
$1.4 billion and awarded $67.1 million in grants in 2011, according to the most
recent annual report posted online.
She was treated for breast cancer in 2009 and 2010, learning she had Stage 1
cancer in an annual mammogram and undergoing multiple lumpectomies. Her doctors
said her cancer was treatable because it was caught at an early stage.
Her husband's presence in Nantucket after a 12-day trip to the Middle East was
the source of some controversy last week. CBS News reported that Kerry was
aboard the family's yacht and published a producer's photos of the secretary of
State sailing the same day that Egypt's military ousted its president. After an
initial denial, the State Department conceded Kerry was "briefly" aboard the
yacht but was in constant contact with U.S. and Egyptian officials via phone.

Polaroid Complaint - Polaroid TDA-03211C Nightmare
Review by
Comments (3)
ROUND ROCK, TEXAS -- This TV was a spontaneous purchase for me and my girlfriend. We decided to go HD and what better place to do so than our friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart Supercenter.
We eventually purchased the Polaroid TDA-03211C on September 9, 2007 as a seemingly good value buy and at least in name an American company, so much for economic patriotism. Out of the box the TV worked, looked, sounded, and once again, seemed great. It went kaput on October 17, 2007 and after 16 calls, 8 different customer service reps, 3 repair techs, and three wrong parts, I am officially going to warn every person that I can of this TV and the Polaroid Corporation.
To state that I feel cheated, lied to, and downright robbed is an understatement. There is a known problem with what they call the control-box, which is the key component of the television. Customer service sent us a new one initially without even taking a look at the TV. I inferred that there is probably a known design flaw with this part if Polaroid automatically sends new ones without actually first trouble shooting. If the part is in backlog, which it was for me, it will take about 1 month for the part to arrive from China. You will have to wait for the "independent tech" to contact you to schedule an appointment for repair. Polaroid outsources the repair of their product.
Polaroid does not want to give you a new TV nor does it want to refund your money. WARNING!!! Polaroid does not want to give you a new TV nor does it want to refund your money. It is their tactic to lie, give the customer the run around, and avoid resolution. Not a timely resolution, essentially no resolution whatsoever. I am now approaching the half-way point of the Polaroid 1 year warranty. This TV worked for 5 weeks and has become a 4 month headache. Do not purchase any Polaroid product. I personally believe that the restructuring after their bankruptcy has corrupted their capacity to manufacture quality products. Avoid this brand.

I have never seen a friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart anything.
Posted by GIS Guy on 2008-02-03:
I had a very similar experience. My power supply blew out at 11 months. After calling Polaroid, it took a month to get a service call and they had shipped the wrong replacement core! A second part arrived but no serviceman available, so I asked for a refund, which they intitially agreed to. After waiting another month, I called back to find out they fired the guy who promised me a refund and said they would only provide a replacement set. I received that replacement set yesterday and guess what? This set is defective right out of the box!
Posted by Jonnyd1 on 2008-03-07:
If you want a refund on this product, I will save you some time. I have jumped through many hoops to get this phone number. 1-952-934-9918 ask for The Polaroid Consumer Resolution Team. Then ask for Brett. Brett is the actual guy that signs off on the refund. I hope this saves all of you some time. From reading these reviews I know there are people with the same frustrations I had.

The following players are on the "hot-seat" based on past postseason performance, regular season contribution and an overall expectation their individual success is key to their team's playoff success.
We begin with a former Stanley Cup champion.
10) Eric Staal: The Carolina star recorded 29 points in the Hurricanes final 20 games and finished tied for fifth in goals in the NHL with 40. The New Jersey Devils will have to stop Staal if they are going to advance past the first round.
9) Scott Gomez: The New York Rangers veteran is expected to provide leadership while taking over the postseason scoring responsibilities previously held by Jaromir Jagr. He will have to overcome the scrutiny that is sure to follow and deliver with game breaking plays for the Rangers to succeed.
8) Zdeno Chara: Boston's designated leader will have to step up to move into a category that includes the likes of Lidstrom, Niedermayer and Pronger, all dominant defenseman who helped lead their team to a championship. Plus, as terrific as Tim Thomas has been in goal for the Bruins, some remain unconvinced, so a solid "D" is essential.
7) Brian Campbell: The Chicago Blackhawks paid big money for what so far has been a below average return. Campbell has struggled in his own end this season and didn't live up to billing in last year's playoffs, scoring just one goal for the San Jose Sharks in 2008.
6) Daniel Briere: If he maintains his postseason trend the Flyers can't be overlooked as a contender. Briere has points in 53 of 57 career playoff games, including nine goals, three of those game winners in the Flyers 17 playoff games last year.
5) Saku Koivu: The Montreal captain has never put up big numbers and has scored just three playoff goals in ten post-lockout playoff games. However, Koivu, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, has averaged more points per game in the playoffs than the regular season, a rare feat he will need to continue if the Canadiens are to advance.
4) Henrik and Daniel Sedin: Contract negotiations in Vancouver could be heavily altered by their playoff output. Neither Henrik, nor Daniel registered a point in the deciding game in 06-07 Conference semi's against Anaheim and combined, have 15 goals in 86 playoff games.
3) Evgeni Malkin: The Art Ross winner scored eight goals in the first 10 games of the '07-08 Stanley Cup playoffs, but sputtered after getting crushed in game one by Mike Richards in conference finals versus Philadelphia. Malkin only scored twice the rest of the playoffs as he battled fatigue and the flu.
2) Joe Thornton: Thornton has appeared in three conference semi-finals with the San Jose Sharks, yet the big centre has failed to record a point in the deciding games in each series.
1)Olli Jokinen: Zero goals in 13 straight games with the Flames. Zero playoff experience. Jokinen didn't deliver down the stretch when the Flames needed his scoring touch to clinch the northwest. All will be forgotten if Calgary's postseason virgin lives up to Mike Keenan's expectations.
Expectation is what this time of year is all about and each one of our "hot-seat" players recognizes his role and why he has the dubious distinction of being on this list.

President Obama will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House Thursday for their first face-to-face talks in 20 months.
Israel wants Abbas to recognize it as a Jewish state with Jerusalem as its capital. Abbas wants a permanent freeze on Jewish building in the West Bank.
In his last cabinet meeting before the direct talks, Netanyahu said he will seek an agreement but he won't allow concessions of territory to hurt Israel's security, like the last two withdrawals did in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
Both Netanyahu and Abbas have been feeling the heavy hand of the Obama administration, and it's likely that neither one is looking forward to the kind of three-way handshakes that have led to nothing in the past.
Many in the Middle East share their skepticism.
"I cannot say that I am extremely optimistic because the Palestinians seem to be too weak to deliver or to make historical decisions on their part," Israeli Cabinet Member Yuval Steinitz said.
In an address before his trip to Washington, Abbas told the Palestinians that Israel is completely responsible for the success or failure of the talks. He has promised to quit the talks if Israel does not extend its building freeze in the West Bank. The freeze is set to expire on Sept. 26.
U.S. and European leaders say the talks should continue despite the skeptics.
"I know some say it is all for show. I reject that view," Tony Blair, Quartet envoy to the Middle East, said. "I think if Israel can receive real and effective guarantees about its security, then it is willing and ready to conclude a negotiation for a viable independent Palestinian state."
Supporters of the talks have said little about the role of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and is committed to Israel's destruction.
Hamas has condemned the upcoming meeting in Washington.

The combine officially started on Wednesday, with the arrival of the day one participants. Today, some of them are being subjected to the toughest test they'll face at the combine, the Wonderlic Test, or what the NFL euphemistically likes to call the 'psych test'.
The Wonderlic test is a fifty question, twelve minute test designed to measure a person's ability to learn and solve problems. It uses open response and multiple choice questions which increase in difficulty as the test progresses. The test gained notoriety through the NFL, but is broadly used by employers across many industries.
The test is explained in detail here and you can do a 15-question sample test here or a 20-question test here. You could also try your hand at a timed test that gives you three minutes and 36 seconds to answer 15 questions, or take a 10-question sample with a 2:26 timer. Watch yourself break out in a cold sweat when the clock ticks down to one minute and you still have more than half the questions to go. After the break, find out what the Wonderlic results mean.
The Wonderlic score is calculated as the number of correct answers given to the 50 questions within the allotted time frame. The highest score is therefore obviously a 50, while a score of 20 is considered an average score. The Wonderlic score is sometimes used to approximate an intelligence quotient, or IQ, by multiplying the Wonderlic score by two and then adding 60:
IQ = Wonderlic Score * 2 + 60.
The average score for an NFL player (regardless of position) is reportedly 20. Very broadly, a score over 30 suggests a superior intelligence, 20 is about average (and is roughly equivalent to an IQ of 100). 15 is the equivalent of an unskilled worker, while anything below 10 is an indication of a literacy problem or learning disability.
In Paul Zimmerman's book titled, "The New Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football" he listed the average Wonderlic scores by position. The table below summarizes those values and compares them to average scores from various professions.
Football Position | Test Score | Regular Profession |
31 | Chemist | |
29 | Programmer | |
Offensive Tackle | 26 | Journalist |
Center | 25 | |
Quarterback | 24 | Salesman |
Guard | 23 | |
Tight End | 22 | Bank Teller |
Safety | 19 | |
Linebacker | 19 | |
Cornerback | 18 | |
Wide Receiver | 17 | Security Guard |
Fullback | 17 | |
Running Back | 16 | |
14 | Warehouse worker |
In 2006, the press worked itself into a frenzy when word leaked that Vince Young had allegedly scored a woefully low six points in the Wonderlic. Young was allowed to retake the test and reportedly improved to 16. Only conspiracy theorists would think anything of the fact that this number miraculously corresponded to Dan Marino's score from 1983. Only conspiracy theorists would think that the NFL had its hand in this fortunate turn of events.

A grant from the U.S. Department of Justice will allow Commerce Police Department officers to communicate more clearly and consistently with each other, an upgrade that will improve officer safety, according to Police Chief Kerry Crews.
"It's a huge officer safety issue if we can't talk back to dispatch or they can't talk to us," he said.
CPD was recently awarded an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant of $78,277 from the Department of Justice and the Office of the Governor.
Commerce police will purchase P-25 digital radios for each squad car and hand-held radios for each officers, which will work inside buildings and in other locations in Commerce with poor reception.
"The new radios are a huge need for us," Crews said. "The radio system we have now is not very old, but the whole system is analog. Our coverage is not very good in town, there are some 'dead' spots."
According to the Bureau of Justice website, Edward R. Byrne was a member of the New York City Police Department. On Feb. 26, 1988, Officer Byrne was on detail protecting a witness who had agreed to testify in court against local drug dealers.
Byrne was in his patrol car outside the witness' home around 3:30 a.m. when two armed gunmen crept up to his car from both sides. One of the men knocked on the passenger-side window to distract Byrne just as a second perpetrator ran up to the driver's side window and opened fire. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died of his wounds. He was only 22 years old.
In honor of Police Officer Byrne, the U.S. Department of Justice initiated the assistance grant. The department's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) administers this program, which allows states and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the justice system.

An empirical derivation of the industry wage equation
This paper utilizes the Box-Cox transformation of variables technique to empirically derive an industry wage equation. Section I presents the determinants of potential wage differentials between and within industries. Section II estimates a Box-Cox industry wage equation. Likelihood ratio tests on alternative specifications of this equation affirm that competitive structure is a significant determinant of the industry wage rate and that human capital specifications of the industry wage equation (for the manufacturing sector) are not statistically valid. Section III summarizes the results.Download Info

How did the witness know the bike was stolen? Did they see the thief stealing it? Was it stolen from a home or from a bike rack? Very curious that part of the story is missing.

What does it matter to this story?
The apprehended suspect admitted to the theft to the police.

This racism disgusts me. I have known and worked with undocumented workers for years as a construction worker. The overwhelming majority of these people are of such high moral character that they put us to shame.

@Jay Confession is not proving of guilt. In our system of justice we have a presumption of innocence. The onus is on the state to prove someone guilty. Did you know that people will confess to crimes that they never did when they're nervous? The police don't even have to hit them or threaten a suspect to make this happen. They don't even have to try! People get nervous and blurt out stupid things. "False confession" is a real phenomena.
