Sgt. Scott Graham wrote in to the Denver Post asking for Broncos Country to help vote for Broncos games to be aired on the American Forces Network. Each week, the AFN holds a vote on Facebook and the game with the most votes is broadcast overseas.
Graham, who is currently serving in Kuwait, is asking for fans to help him watch his favorite team play.
To help him and other Broncos fans that are serving in the military, click here to vote for the Broncos games on the American Forces Network Facebook page.
In honor of Veterans Day, the Broncos' game against the Jets on Thursday, Nov. 17 has been designated as a military appreciation game. The Broncos are teaming up with Bud Light to salute our service members by recognizing select heroes during the Celebration of our Military at that game.
If you would like to nominate an active, inactive, retired or reserve hero for the honor and a chance for them to receive tickets and pregame field passes, click here to share their story with us.

No ProblemPros: Connected right away to my TRENDnet TPL-307E2K that I already had established. Once again I just plugged it in and it works. I have a TRENDnet TEW-711BR wireless router hooked up to this, and as a pair work great. Great connection speeds. Cons: It's not completely flush to the wall when plugged in. Maybe sticks out a quarter of an inch. But that's it. Couldn't really think of any cons. Other Thoughts: I have my Motorola Surfboard connected to a TRENDnet TEW-692GR Wireless router which then connects to a TRENDnet TEG-S80DG switch then connects to one of my TRENDnet TPL-307E2K Poweline plugs then that connects to TRENDnet TPL-306E powerline plug then at the end is my TRENDnet TEW-711BR wireless router. Yes I like TRENDnet. Every TRENDnet product I have ever bought worked flawlessly. Never had a DOA. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

- on February 3 2014, 4:48pmI love this game I've been playing grand theft auto since I was just a little kid thank you rockstar but I was wondering if you will put out a dlc or an update that will give us some of the cars and weapons you get from the collectors edition I'd really like to get to drive the hot knife I hope ur able to put somethings like that in the game
- on December 30 2013, 12:45pmWhen are you going to let us drive and KEEP the rat loader again!!!!!!!!
- on December 12 2013, 5:48pmWill the CE package be made available again and/or will the CE content be made available as part of a future DLC? Also, please stop giving such great exclusives to a single retailer. I had trouble making a CE pre-order on the gamestop website and I also was unable to secure a pre-order from my closest Gamestop retail store as they only took a limited amout of CE preorders. I would have much preferred if the CE was available through amazon to avoid all that mess.
- on December 20 2013, 8:39pm@mobileobsession Yeah, please allow those who were not able to obtain the CE to purchase the extra cars and such for an additional fee, especially with retailer exclusive stuff.
- on September 26 2013, 9:10pmI want to know if there will be anymore collectors edition of GTA 5 coming out because I was a little late trying to get money to buy one and now everywhere I go to buy one they're all sold out . or would I have to special order it or something like that ?
- on September 21 2013, 1:28pmI bought special edition but 150 for collectors edition hell no rockstars high.
Btw Love the game. - on September 20 2013, 2:41amPlease tell me you'll be releasing the bonus DLC separately later. I want that hot rod but there's no way in hell I'd spend the extra 70$ on pretty much what looks like some admittedly subpar bonus swag.

- on September 16 2013, 3:42pmHi if I don´t preorder the GTAV collector's edition before September 17 will there be a chance that I could still buy the atomic blimp later?
- on September 15 2013, 8:25pmI am so dum! i didnt preorder the collector edition!!!!!! i thought the special was the best!!

- on September 15 2013, 3:48pmI pre-ordered special addition, hopefully i can go to the midnight launch.
CAN WAIT until i get my hands on the game - on September 14 2013, 10:04pmI did order mine, and picking it up Tuesday afternoon, I wanted to be at the GameStop Monday night at midnight, but I have a class at 9:30am eastern, so I just gotta wait till that afternoon it sucks cause onething I'm afraid of is people getting way ahead of me pertaining to social club stats for online play. My best score was 11 globally within the first month of GTA IV's release for the game "Car Jack City". But it's still gonna be awesome I just hope and pray that the next full GTA game comes alot sooner than 5 damned years, lol, well actually 5.5 years.
- on September 13 2013, 10:52amCan't wait for the release. If you want to join an elite hit-squad then join Intell-Kill crew (IQKL). You will be assessed as and when. If you reckon you are rock solid GTA player come and tryout . . .
- on September 12 2013, 1:58pmPaid off my collecter edition best 150.00 I've ever spent 5 days till launch can't wait any longer.

Aesop – The Piglet, the Sheep, and the Goat
A YOUNG PIG was shut up in a fold-yard with a Goat and a Sheep.
On one occasion when the shepherd laid hold of him, he grunted
and squeaked and resisted violently. The Sheep and the Goat
complained of his distressing cries, saying, "He often handles
us, and we do not cry out." To this the Pig replied, "Your
handling and mine are very different things. He catches you only
for your wool, or your milk, but he lays hold on me for my very

Reboot Charlotte: Living Options Make Charlotte GreatCHARLOTTE, N.C. - Urban Sleek to Suburban Chic, Charlotte's neighborhoods have it all. If you take a drive through Mecklenburg County, it's no surprise the Queen City if often named one of the best cities in the U.S. to live thanks to quality of life, affordable housing & utility costs and diverse housing options in vibrant neighborhoods where no two are alike. For Noda resident Mike Watson, he enjoys the eclectic vibe over in his neck of the woods. "I feel like NoDa is a building block of Charlotte," says Watson, "... I like that I could buy an old mill house and convert it however I want and have it express what I like about living here; the diversity and the arts." Located in South Charlotte is Ballantyne- known for its shopping centers, eye-pleasing landscapes and beautiful houses. Pineville resident, George Bradin enjoys his peaceful neighborhood but also likes taking advantage of the nearby Ballantyne attraction. "It's a great place for shopping and the people are very nice," says Bradin, ".. it's relaxing. Even after 16 years, we still enjoy it." Twenty-Five miles north of the city is the lakeside town of Cornelius. It belongs to water enthusiasts like Doug & Julie Fritz. "I would say I'm a water person... a water-junkie," says Doug. Like many Charlotteans, Julie was transferred to the QC for work and when house-hunting, settling down somewhere on Lake Norman's 520 miles of shoreline was a must. "Being on the water is great because if you have family and friends come, there's always something to do- go on the kayaks, out on a boat ride- it's a lot of fun," says Doug. In the heart of Uptown are the Madison Condominiums. One upscale, 3200 square foot, 3 balcony condo is where Courtney Zuniga and her family call home. She says they love the energy and convenience of living in the city. "When we do have fun events Uptown, we love sitting up and people-watching," says Zuniga. The living options in and around the Queen City are endless. Whether you want a bungalow in Ballantyne, a house on the lake, a place in NoDa, or a condo in Uptown, there's a place to call home for everyone. And that's what is good about Charlotte. |

The Huffington Post Challenge
The legacy media continue to ignore the lesson the aggregation giant is teaching.
I won't defend the Huffington Post's appropriation of Simon Dumenco's story this week from Ad Age or any of the smash-and-grab annexations the aggregation giant stands accused of, such as its heavy lifting of copy from the Chicago Reader, the Daily Mail, and elsewhere.
But my refusal doesn't mean I regard the site as a "parasite," as does former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr., nor do I think of Arianna Huffington as a "counterfeiter," as does New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller, nor would I ever call content aggregators "content kleptomaniacs," as News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch puts it, and I would never call search engines "tech tapeworms," as Wall Street Journal Editor Robert Thomson implies.
Instead, I would remind the established media for the second time that the Huffington Post is trying to teach it a lesson: That a huge, previously ignored readership out there wants its news hot, quick, and tight. At any point in HuffPo's astonishing rise, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or any dozen other media companies could have strangled it in its crib by producing an equally entertaining and edifying pop-news Web site that drew on the Associated Press wire, licensed photo banks, its own stories, and, yes, rewrites of other sites' content.
Publications have been rewriting other publication's stories since the dawn of journalism. Time magazine made a business out of blatantly rewriting daily newspaper stories for a national weekly audience in the 1920s. "We don't pretend to be reporters at Time. We are rewrite men," a top Time staffer once told a group of his editors. Nobody had ever done news hotter, quicker, or tighter before Time magazine. Time founders Henry R. Luce and Briton Hadden understood that some readers didn't have time for the self-indulgent news and features newspapers specialized in, or they preferred a weekly take of the news over a daily one, or their local newspaper stunk and they wanted a more worldly view of the news. Some readers must have grown to love Time's backward-running sentences and neologisms, famously sent up by The New Yorker's Wolcott Gibbs.
It's not just civilians demanding a quicker take on the news. Listen to Nicholas Confessore, the New York Times'superb Albany reporter. He just told the Atlantic Wire—a very energetic aggregator, by the way—thatwhat he'd "kill for is a newsletter that only sent me five or six stories a day, in total, from everywhere. The stories that were the most essential reading, that really tell you something you don't know about politics."
It's not that big newspaper companies don't know that their fat newspapers don't appeal to everybody. For instance, the New York Times produces a 10-page daily "synopsis" of the newspaper called TimesDigest, which reaches a claimed readership of 190,000 at hotels, resorts, sports clubs, cruise ships, and elsewhere. My 2007 piece about TimesDigest praised its succinctness. The Washington Post Co. (which owns Slate) recently started a news-aggregation site, Trove, which combines human and automated aggregation.
Slate was one of the original aggregators with its "Today's Papers" feature, which ran from June 1997 until August 2009 and digested the top newspapers (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today) in the wee a.m. for readers curious about how the news played in different publications. Slate has since replaced "Today's Papers" with a more universal exercise in aggregation, The Slatest. It gathers news from all corners of the Web in real time, and its writers post up to a dozen items daily. Readers love The Slatest; it's one of the most popular parts of the site.
No discussion of aggregation is complete without a mention of the granddaddy, the Drudge Report, which provides a better moment-by-moment news view than the home pages of any daily newspaper, any cable news network, hell, any page anywhere, especially the impossible-to-navigate Huffington Post home page. Inordinately proud of their own work, newspapers and cable news networks tend to lard their home pages with copy produced in their own shops—which isn't the same as keeping readers up on the news. It's hard to accept that 15 years into the commercial Web era, newspaper websites still look and feel so much like newspaper websites.
Dumenco and the rest of us should continue to shame the Huffington Post whenever it exceeds fair use, but again, that's drawing the wrong lesson from the HuffPo catechism. The site doesn't succeed because it shoplifts—which it has been known to do—it succeeds because it's so good at borrowing, generating original content, recruiting an army of free bloggers, building slide-show porn, and generally giving the masses what they want. I still don't understand the appeal of the package, but say what you will, they do what they do with blinding speed.
So again, in addition to the endless (and valid!) bellyaching about the HuffPo stealing stories, I'd also like to see media companies do a better job competing against it. How can it be that somebody with scant news experience has so totally fleeced you guys?

April 30, 2002
Good Morning. My name is Bess Weatherman and I am Vice Chair of the Medical Group of the National Venture Capital Association. I am here today on behalf of the more than 475 professional venture capital and private equity firms dedicated to stimulating the flow of equity capital to emerging growth and developing companies. Our members currently invest more than $36 billion per year in such companies and have invested nearly $210 billion in aggregate over the past 20 years, funding nearly all of the most important technological breakthroughs of that period. A substantial number of these firms invest heavily in the life sciences field that includes biotechnology, drug development, medical devices and therapeutics and health care services. In 2001, the venture capital community invested more than $4.2 billion, or more than 10% of all venture investing last year, in these medical industries.
Venture investment in the life sciences has given new hope to people who suffer maladies across virtually the entire spectrum of diseases and afflictions. In fact, without patient investment from venture capitalists, the biotechnology and medical technology industry, for example, would be virtually nonexistent. Almost every biotechnology product that has been approved for sale by the Food and Drug Administration has been financed by the venture capital community. The venture community also provided financing for many of the medical devices and therapeutics we take for granted today, including the entire interventional cardiology or stent industry. These now standard medical treatments allow patients to lead longer and healthier lives. The venture community's dedication to the medical technology industry exists despite heavy government regulation and the longer-term investing strategy required for successful development of new medical technology, even when compared to other emerging market investments.
Few can argue that what these companies do is critically important to the well being of the American public and the world at large. However, the results of the debate we are holding today on reforming group purchasing organizations to ensure a competitive and open market for all medical industry producers will directly affect the future of emerging life science companies and in turn impact the availability of the important medical products these companies are developing.
Let me be clear, companies subject to, or potentially subject to, anti-competitive practices by GPOs will not be funded by venture capital. As a result, many of these companies and their innovations will die, even if they offer a dramatic improvement over an existing solution. Permitting this innovation stifling practice is unnecessary and counter to what we believe should be a fundamental role of the government: enhancing health by making new or improved products widely available as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Venture capital plays an integral, often-unsung role in the development of medical technology. In fact, venture capital is the single most important source of early stage financing to new and emerging health-focused companies. During the past 30 years, the venture community financed 1,324 innovative medical companies with more than $20 billion in start up capital. These companies now have sales of tens of billions of dollars, employ more than 2 million people and most importantly, have revolutionized medical care for nearly all Americans. It is fair to say that virtually every U.S. citizen born during the last thirty years has benefited or will benefit, in his or her lifetime, personally and significantly from one or more of the drugs or medical devices developed with U.S. venture capital. These include MR imaging, ultrasound, angioplasty / stents, implantable defibrillators, spinal implants, pulse oximetry and drugs for cancer, heart attacks, and anemia, to name a very few. It is also important to note that the real medical impact of venture investments is also significantly greater than even these numbers would suggest, since our investments are normally focused only on ground breaking or revolutionary technology by the very nature of our investment selection process. Many of these companies' names are now synonymous with progressive medical technology including Guidant, Amgen, and Genentech.
Medical device and biotechnology companies need venture capital because their capital needs are so large, their time to market so long - due in large part to regulatory compliance--and their risks so high. There are enormous entrepreneurial risks in bringing medical products to market--risks that include proving product safety and efficacy, securing patent protection, securing a good distribution channel, facing entrenched competition, and possibly running out of money before the product can reach a significant portion of the market - to name just a few. Such characteristics make these young companies ineligible for bank financing or other sources of private capital.
It is important to note that venture capitalists will accept these legitimate risks that traditional financial institutions and government supported programs cannot-- it's part of our function. But, VCs do not, cannot, and will not accept unnecessary and unfair risks. We need to provide our investors with justification that substantial capital investment can result in successful product development and financial gain. Thus, we have no interest in products that can be blocked from fairly competing for a share of a market, even after a long, expensive and risky product development cycle. Simply put, venture capitalists will increasingly stay away from many investments in long-term, high-risk medical breakthroughs if the government continues to allow anticompetitive business practices to artificially limit access to medical market.
GPO roadblocks have greatly diminished the attractiveness of medical device and biotechnology investments because they reduce the confidence of venture capitalists that they will have fair access to medical markets and thereby will achieve a return on very risky investments. To put this in perspective, between 1990 and 1994 at least 22% of all companies financed by venture capitalists were medical device or biotechnology companies, with medical device companies accounting for approximately 9% and biotechnology companies accounting for 13% of the 22%. By comparison, during the period 1999 to 2001 these companies made up only 8.9% of all companies receiving venture capital financing. Of this 8.9%, device companies received 5.0% and biotechnology companies receive 3.9%.
These numbers dropped dramatically from 1999 - 2001 when 9.8%, 7.1% and 11% respectively of the companies funded were medical device or biotechnology companies. For these years, medical device companies dropped more, making up only 5.5%, 3.9% and 6.2% of the combined totals.
One of the reasons for this relative decline new investment is a lack of market access brought about by the business practices and the increasing power of GPOs. GPO practices such as contract exclusivity, substantial fee structures, and product bundling, if allowed to continue, will so constrict potential markets that product segments where these practices are widely adopted will simply not be considered for venture capital backing. This investment drain will result in a stagnation of product innovation and stymie improved patient care across these product sectors.
The arguments made by GPOs about the "administrative" savings they provide to members could be applied to every single sector of the economy and are virtually identical to the arguments made by the anticompetitive "trusts" of the early 1900s, which led to the landmark Sherman Antitrust laws. The idea that the GPOs "save" money for hospitals by extracting larger price discounts from producers than they could achieve by themselves, is unprovable and most likely wrong - unprovable because no one knows what the "real" market price would be in a truly competitive market among producers (in the absence of GPO gatekeeping). In fact, in product areas where GPOs collude with producers who already have virtual monopolies, the "discounted" price that the GPOs claim to achieve is almost certainly well above what the market price would be in an open and competitive marketplace. The impact of the GPOs in healthcare is equally anticompetitive and stifling of innovation, and there is no special reason why the healthcare system should be the only sector of the economy where such practices are tolerated.
The venture capital industry exists, in part, because the antitrust philosophy of the United States prevents entrenched, unmoveable competitors from abusing their market power to unfairly restrain competition. By their very nature, virtually every company we finance is a "revolutionary" and a threat to the established order. The technological innovations they develop, whether in computers, electronics, software, telecommunications or medicine, are inevitably threats to some existing larger competitor who will use all means at its disposal to defend itself. It is hard enough to overcome that kind of power in an open and competitive market place. It is nearly impossible when monopolistic producers collude with monopsonistic buyers such as GPO to suppress competition. This is precisely what is now happening in healthcare.
As the GPOs become more powerful and add more technologically sophisticated products to their portfolios (instead of the more commodity-like products such as rubber gloves, syringes and cotton swabs that they originally focused on) the adverse impact on innovation will increase. There will be fewer and fewer areas in which venture capital will invest. The current trend is not encouraging.
The venture capital community believes that collusion between GPOs and providers of medical products to limit market access to competitors is extremely anticompetitive and not justified by any peculiarities of the medical sector. On the contrary, while the government would not tolerate such practices in any other sector of the economy, for it to tolerate (and even encourage) this situation in medicine is disturbing, because one of the clear effects of these practices is to impede innovation. In medicine, in contrast to any other sector, reduced innovation ultimately affects patients' lives and health. There is no doubt that patients' lives have been lost and other harm done as a result of GPO's activities. In light of this, the special exemptions from the normal operation of the antitrust laws granted to the GPOs should be viewed with even greater, not less skepticism.
The venture capital community believes that there are enormous opportunities to continue to improve the health of the American public through the development and application of new technology. These efforts are already very time consuming, expensive and risky, particularly given recent increases and uncertainties in the U.S. regulatory environment. Despite this, the venture capital community is committed to further investment in U.S. healthcare technology. We welcome open and competitive marketplaces, and we believe that competition has served the American public well by stimulating fair prices and vast technological innovation. The increasing power of GPOs, and their collusive and anticompetitive activities with larger medical companies, threatens to undermine the open and competitive markets that have produced such obvious benefits for the American public, not only in healthcare, but also across the entire economy. We would strongly encourage the committee to consider legislation to correct these abuses and again open these markets to fair and vigorous competition. Thank you.

Been meaning to read this for the longest time. It was really good. I was hoping for a bit more romance- that's just me. But you really got into the story and made it into something to be proud of.
I really enjoyed the character developement of Prof Snape and I don't even really like him.
Great job!
What a wonderful tale you have shared with us. Thank you... And, please do write another. I will look forward to it with great anticipation. Fabulous story, wonderful ending! Well done, Selene.

With iPad Air, Apple's 800-pound tablet gorilla returns
Apple reminded everyone who's on top with the redesigned and appropriately renamed iPad Air.
Unlike last year, where the star of the show was the brand new iPad Mini, Apple went back to the 9.7-inch device that created the mainstream market for tablets. The $499 iPad Air offers a tablet that is 20 percent thinner and 29 percent lighter, while offering up a smaller bezel for an overall sleeker, slimmer design.
"It's the biggest step yet in delivering the vision that is iPad," Philip Schiller, head of marketing for Apple, said during the launch event. … Read more

Our run of past transgressions, in order of appearance, began with Led Zeppelin II and rocked on with Sticky Fingers, Abbey Road, Eat A Peach, and Are You Experienced. Along the way, we've been aided by a dazzling array of talented partners-in-crime, from Emmylou Harris to Elvis Costello, John Cowan to Joan Osborne, Susan Tedeschi to Sarah Dugas, Sam Bush to Jens Kruger to Jerry Douglas to Jim Lauderdale, and many, many, more.
For this year's model, we're digging into the vaults for something we think is pretty special. We hope you will, too.
In keeping with tradition, we'll be posting a series of oblique, obscure, and otherwise impossible-to-solve clues for you all to attempt to decipher.

Your first clue follows. Good luck to all. Let the guessing begin!
CLUE #1: This fabled recording studio is no stranger to the Album Hour.
Resident Waybacks guitarist extraordinaire James Nash has just released an instructional guitar video, aptly titled "Making the Acoustic Guitar Rock!" The two-hour DVD covers a wide range of topics, from basics like alternate picking and how to make bar chords and string bends easier, to more advanced strategies for moving around the fingerboard and playing over chord changes. James shows how he works influences like Keith Richards and Neil Young into his flatpicking, and shares ideas for improvising over bluegrass standards like "Cherokee Shuffle" and "Blackberry Blossom," as well as songs like "Hide Your Love Away," "Cocaine," and his own "Bright Place."
There's a lot here for players of all levels, as well as some exciting off-the-cuff studio jams. So, if you want to get a glimpse at how James does what he does on the acoustic and bring some new ideas and techniques to your own playing, head on over to our Mercantile & Boutique at the link below for more info.
We're happy to announce that we captured every note and are now able to share them with you via the modern miracle of CD or Digital Download, as you choose. To check out what took place on that sun-drenched afternoon under a fine Carolina blue sky, click the yellow peach colored link below, head on over to our Mercantile & Boutique, and get a healthy dose of those timeless tunes.
We're honored to be included on Jerry Jams for Rex, a recently released compilation of live performances of Jerry Garcia tunes to commemorate the 15th anniversary of his passing and benefit the ongoing efforts of the Rex Foundation.

Many thanks to our guest artists and Bob Bernhardt, Maestro of the Symphony for a job very well done. A sampling of the reviews captures how good we all felt about the show:
"The Beatles would have been proud last night. The Chattanooga Symphony, Joan Osborne, The Waybacks, and John Cowan combined to cover The Beatles Abbey Road album, and did it in a most spectacular way. George Martin, The Beatles producer, Geoff Emerick and Alan Parsons, engineers on the Abbey Road Album, would be proud. Chattanoogans in attendance last night were proud of their symphony. I am proud of the folks at Riverbend who took a chance with this show and pulled off what may have been the greatest show in Riverbend history.
Opening with "Come Together", the group proceeded through the original album, scored beautifully, with Joan Osborne and John Cowan providing the lead vocals for the concert. The group even did an encore, which is hard to do once you cover the entire album, but they improvised and came up with a cover of "I Saw Her Standing There". Yes, The Beatles would have been proud, as was I."
- Bob Payne, The Chattanoogan
"Wow. I'm almost at a loss for words to describe how incredible it was hearing tonight's headlining performance of "Abbey Road" by the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera's partnership with vocalists John Cowan and Joan Osborne, banjo player Jens Kruger and The Waybacks.
Frankly, I don't think I've ever enjoyed live music quite as much as the hour long performance I just experienced.
Obviously, with such excellent source material as the Beatles legendary studio opus, it seems like it would be impossible to go wrong, but material that well-known is a decidedly double-edged sword. It's almost impossible to live up to a suite of music that well known, and if you try, your performance is automatically put under microscopic scrutiny. I think tonight's show easily survived that scrutiny.
There's a reason "Abbey Road" was never performed live. Its intricacies and nuances were so heaped upon one another that to attempt to recreate it live would require, as it did tonight, a full orchestral backing. This was an exciting opportunity to experience the album in what I think is the form closest to how it would have been performed by the Fab Four live.
Guitarist/singer/songwriter James Nash, who founded The Waybacks, led us on a brilliant rendition that played to the ensemble's strengths. Cowan is the human equivalent of vocal dynamite, which I think was obvious to everyone after he lit into "Oh! Darling" ("Carry That Weight" was another standout).
Not to be outdone, Osborne showed she can dance like a Bond girl and fit vocal tongue and groove as the lead on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."
The Waybacks and Kruger added incredibly spicy acoustic accompaniment in just the right places. If you think fiddle sounds like a weird ingredient to add to "The End" and "Her Majesty," you haven't heard Warren Hood give it a go. He made it sound, well, the word "good" comes to mind, but it doesn't do it justice. On the same song, Nash proved he's got killer guitar chops that made me want to cut off my fingers I was so envious.
I know this comes across as a Beatles fan gushing, and I've never made a secret of my idol worship of the Liverpoolians, but I also scrutinize groups that cover them much more than I do tributers of any other group. This was, hands down, the best performance of Beatles music I've ever heard, including Abbey Road Live!, the Athens, Ga.-based group that make a living doing just this kind of tribute show.
If there's one thing that fans of the Beatles can take away from tonight, it's that to really do their studio work justice requires a full-on orchestra backing. The CSO's performance was just ideal to accompany this show. It seriously couldn't have been done, well or not, without them. We should be proud to count such a group of musicians among our ranks.
Although the show was fairly short, at just an hour long, I've never been so entertained for that length of time. The cherry on top, however, was when we, the audience took to our collective feet and showed such appreciation that Nash came back out on stage.
"We didn't know Chattanooga was going to be this kind to us, so we didn't prepare anything (as an encore)," he said. "Give us a second, and we'll make something up."
I've gotta say, I envy their ability to improvise, if their bopping rendition of "I Saw Her Standing There" really was done on the fly. The awesome riffs seemed too good to be the product of flying by the seat of your pants, but these guys had already demonstrated they had incredible chops. I can't say I would have had high hopes for "Beatles banjo," which Nash asked Kruger for, but he certainly delivered the goods.
All in all, the best time I"ve had at Riverbend ... ever. It's hard to see how it can get any better than this."
-Casey Phillips, Chattanooga Times Fee Press

Well, I haven't been here for a while now (doubt anyone has noticed, but that is OK) and I just wanted to know if anything cool or interesting has happened here lately. The lack of "cool and interest" is why I haven't been on. Just wanting to see if there is any reason that I should check up every now and then.

One could only image what the Gipper said to make Slick Willey blush. "An NHL team in Little Rock?!?" |
Much like the voice over in Bladerunner, I debated on whether to do this this piece. The NHL lockout and the Presidental campaign are tired, encumbering pieces of news. For this piece to be thought provoking you have to buy into two things: 1) the notion that John P McConnell is using his wealth gained from being a share holder of Worthington Industries to help fund the Blue Jackets as they continue to lose money. Without reviewing a tax return no one can confirm this, but I wouldn't speculate this point if it was just something I heard "some guy say." 2) Clear your mind of politics young Jedi and focus on some tax code facts. Don't worry, there are plenty of links to follow and I don't bash the President.
NHL revenue is at an all-time high as is the net worth of all NHL franchises (or are they?). The Columbus Blue Jackets are an NHL franchise in shambles both on the ice and financially. The majority owner of the Blue Jackets, John P McConnell, has been using his own money to help minimize the teams loses and supplement operating capital. Financially, it makes sense to put money back into the franchise, even if your team doesn't turn a profit, provided the amount of money supplied to cover the losses doesn't out strip the growth of Net Worth. Oh no, I've gone cross-eyed. Bear with me here...
Father and Son. Son, with the "Ray Bourque" inspired hair-do. |
John P McConnell is putting money from his own pocket back into the money losing Jackets, much like any start up business owner with a bad lease would do. A portion of this income that is put back into the Blue Jackets is generated by the dividend payments from his Worthington Industries Stock (along with other investment income). Let's do some simple math. John P McConnell owns 1,238,014 shares of Worthington Industries. Let's assume he can do what he wants with each of those shares (I skipped some fancy compensation/stock option stuff here) and just collects dividend payments from them. In 2011, the dividend payment was 42 cents per share, or $519,965 on 1,238,014 shares. With the current tax code in place, that leaves JPMac with $441,970 to put back into the Blue Jackets after dividend taxes. It's not a huge number, but that portion could cover payroll for grunts in the ticket sales department and the equipment staff – commoners like us.
The current augmentations to the US Federal tax code expire on December 31, and it's very likely that folks making more than $200,000 a year, or couples making more than $250,000 per year will see significant tax increases on investment income. Screw the rich? Well, that's up to you to decide. But whether you're a fourth line grunt on a 30th place hockey team or Warren Buffet, a significant tax hike is coming. One law is already scheduled to take effect January 1st and will not be repealed is the PPACA – a 3.8% surcharge on all investment income to those making $200/$250k or more. Two more significant tax increases are coming for dividends payments in the form of the expiration of the EGTRRA and JGTRRA. The expiration of these two nearly doubles or triples the dividends tax for every American citizen but essentially it moves the tax on dividends from 15% to 39.6% for Mr. John P. McConnell's (and Derek Dorsett's) tax bracket.
The evil rich - yes, he is in the same tax bracket as Warren Buffet. #BecauseHesRich |
When Majority owner John P McConnell does his taxes in April of 2013, the percent of tax on dividends goes from 15% to 43.4% (39.6 + 3.8 = 43.4) - Which turns that $519,965 into $291,180 (instead of $441,970) after taxes. Wow, that's a big decrease whether you care about the rich or not. My family pays $300 a month + travel expenses for my son to pay travel hockey. If my taxes more than doubled, you know the first thing to get cut? HOCKEY. My son can play house hockey – or likely make the Dublin Scioto Varsity team as a 6th grader. Anyways, the amount of available income John P McConnell has to spend on the Columbus Blue Jackets from his own pocket will go way down. That same hobby horse is rumored to have lost 8 figures last year. Even with the arena deal in place, he could still be millions underwater with the Blue Jackets if this season was played as planned. His team is still slated to loose money under the current revenue system and he's about to pay double on investment income that he reinvests into the team. How is John P McConnell in ANY WAY MOTIVATED to keep the Blue Jackets running under these conditions?
John McConnell is in no way a victim here. By voting for a lockout he literally gave Franklin county and Nationwide Area the proverbial middle finger. To me, this is inexcusable. Still, John P McConnell will have much less of that discretionary income as of January 1st, 2013 - considerably much less money to put into da Blue Jackets. I'd be tired of putting money back into a losing franchise too, especially if the federal government reduced the available after tax funds I could put back into a loser hockey team. HOWEVER, there is a point when you need to be considerate of the folks you directly employ (the Blue Jackets franchise) and folks you indirectly employ (the hot bartenders in the arena district) - the lasting image of a labor lockout: the poor huddled masses longing to gain income from 41 home games. The image of the lockout I have in my head is one of Gary Bettman walking around in his office well after midnight in nothing but a goalie cup and sock garters saying to himself, "Who Run Barter Town?" The NHL lockout metaphor runs deep in that film clip, no?
Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five - I want five NHL lockouts |
It's painful to see a juxtaposed John P McConnell - and possibly a Mad Max themed Gary Bettman. A man beleaguered by his hockey team's performance and it's subsequent profitability. He is further frustrated by the 35% less personal cash resources he'll have to put back into the team in order to minimize losses – Red or Blue, every fan of the CBJ should understand that impact on the team. What is a rich guy to do? What is a fan to do? If you are like me, when you go to polls in November and don't know which idiot to vote for – vote for the presidential candidate that wants to get an individual majority owner more cash to put back into his floundering NHL franchise. But seriously, I honestly don't care which way you vote so long as you get out there and do it. Sons and daughters of this great nation haven't died so you can whine about an NHL lockout on twitter, they've died so you can get out there and vote for sheriff, congressmen, and Presidents. Still, I can't fight the feeling that a noticably increased tax on dividend payments didn't influence money losing owners to vote for a lockout. Too bad we can't vote on NHL commissioners, right? See, Oligarchy.

Blood Clot Causes
Patient Comments
Read 7 Comments
Blood is supposed to clot to help repair a blood vessel that is injured. Clots or thrombi become a problem when they form inappropriately. There are a variety of illnesses and risk factors that can lead to blood clot formation. Blood clots in the heart Atrial fibrillation describes a heart rhythm in which the upper chamber of the heart does not beat in a coordinated fashion. Instead of having a single electrical impulse that allows the atrium to contract, hundreds of electrical impulses are generated, and the atrium jiggles like a bowl of Jello. This causes small blood clots to form along the lining of the atrium. The potential exists that these clots may break off and embolize to cause diseases such as stroke or ischemic bowel (loss of blood supply to part of the intestine). Blood clots in veins Deep vein thrombosis is the term used to describe clots that form in the veins of the arms or legs. Risk factors include:
Immobility may include recent surgery or hospitalization. This is especially a concern when a leg is involved that is immobilized in a cast or splint. This minimizes muscle movement in the extremity and increases the risk of blood clot formation. Prolonged airplane and automobile trips similarly minimize movement. Blood tends to pool by gravity in the lowest parts of the body. Without standing and walking at regular intervals, blood clots may form. Blood clots in arteries Blood clots may form acutely in an artery that has been gradually narrowed by plaque in vessels affected by arteriosclerosis. If the plaque ruptures, it initiates the clotting cascade. The risk factors for arterial clot are those commonly associated with heart attack, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. These include:
Blood clots in other areas When blood leaves blood vessels, it tends to pool and clot. Passing blood clots in the urine, the vagina, or in the stool is very frightening and should not be ignored. There may be a significant problem or the bleeding may be easily explained. For example, bleeding is commonly seen in bladder infections. Bleeding or blood clots in the urine should not be ignored and presumed to be "just a bladder infection." The bleeding may arise from a bladder tumor or irritation of the bladder lining from other reasons (for example, cancer radiation therapy), or it may originate in the kidneys. Sometimes, if there is enough bleeding, clots will form in the bladder and may pass in the urine. This is commonly seen in older male patients with enlarged prostate glands that cause difficulty with urination. Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding is never normal and should always be investigated. While hemorrhoids or anal fissures may be the source, bleeding may also come from a variety of other illnesses including tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, and diverticulitis. Again, if there is enough bleeding present, blood clots may form and be passed as part of a bowel movement. Passing blood clots from the vagina happens almost routinely. If blood from the uterus pools in the vaginal area, blood clots of varying sizes may form. Bleeding in pregnancy is never normal and medical advice should always be accessed in this situation, either by telephone or in person. Must Read Articles Related to Blood Clots

Lesniak, other insiders got loans at failed bank
State Sen. Raymond G. Lesniak and five other directors of an Elizabeth bank that collapsed last year borrowed more than $2 million in mortgages and commercial loans from the thrift, records show.
Some of those loans came after First BankAmericano was put under a July 2007 federal order to stop what authorities described as unsound banking and loan practices.
In a report filed before it collapsed in July 2009, the bank listed $11.4 million in "insider loans," a term used by regulators to track financing for bank employees, officers and key shareholders.
Eight former board members, including Lesniak and several others who got mortgage money from the bank, have also been political contributors to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, giving more than $50,000 since 1993, according to campaign-finance data.
On Tuesday, Menendez sought to play down a report in The Wall Street Journal that revealed he tried to intervene in the FDIC's handling of the First BankAmericano crisis as the bank neared collapse in July 2009.
The newspaper said a July 21 letter from Menendez to the Federal Reserve asked the agency to approve the sale of First BankAmericano to a holding company based in Brick before it collapsed. The letter from Menendez did not reveal that Lesniak and Joseph Ginarte, the bank's chairman, were longtime contributors who each had a financial stake in the bank.
In an interview with The Record, Menendez said he regretted the insistent wording of his letter to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. But he stood by his decision to intercede in the bank's behalf, saying that First BankAmericano filled an important need as a lender for Hispanics in Union County.
"I don't think it's unusual for members of Congress to advocate for entities within their state," Menendez said. "I don't think it's unusual to try to preserve a community bank, especially if at the end of the day it means less lending into those communities."
Menendez denied having any contact with Ginarte or Lesniak regarding his letter, saying that he had first been approached by Holly Bakke, the state's former Banking and Insurance commissioner, to help the bank.
Menendez said he did not know that Lesniak and other political contributors were getting large loans from the bank. He declined to comment on the loans, but stressed that he has clashed with fellow Democrat Lesniak when the state senator sought to expand his influence outside of his Union County base.
"We get along very well with each other," Menendez said of Lesniak. "But the bottom line is we've also had conflicts about politics when Ray wanted to play in Hudson County. So it's not that it's always been amorous."
Lesniak did not respond to detailed questions submitted through his district office and the Senate Democratic office in Trenton.
Report issued warning
BankAmericano was one of two New Jersey banks and among 140 nationwide that failed last year amid the ongoing nationwide recession, with risky lending practices blamed for most of the trouble. Bank analysts are now predicting as many as 200 banks could fail in 2010, at a cost of $50 billion to taxpayers.

We were locked in overnight by the manager who went home. I don't know what we would have done if there'd been a fire. I was told that the owner refuses to put up a decent front fence. The manager was back at 6 30am and tried to get out of reimbursing me the key deposit of 50 rand. When I insisted he asked me if I was Jewish. He might find that funny but I found it in very poor taste.

Bobby Beeman, a six-year employee with Olympic Medical Center, recently earned her graduate degree in Communication and Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University.
Beeman's capstone thesis, required for graduation from the program, applied "agenda-setting theory" to a study of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. She investigated the methods used by newspapers covering the two disasters, and how the coverage potentially influenced public perception of the events.
"It is a laudable accomplishment to earn a graduate degree while working full time. Bobby is a highly valued employee who is recognized for her personal initiative," said Rhonda Curry, assistant administrator of strategic development.
Beeman, who has worked in the Strategic Development department since January 2005, recently was given a new title: communication and health promotions coordinator. She co-chairs Olympic Medical's wellness committee, and will be actively involved in developing wellness activities among Olympic Medical employees and in the community.
Beeman graduated from Port Angeles High School in 1996, Peninsula College in 1998 and received a bachelor's degree in journalism from Western Washington University in 2000.

Albert Otto Hirschman
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2013) |

Born | Berlin, German Empire |

(aged 97)
Field | Political economy |
Alma mater | University of Trieste |
Albert Otto Hirschman (born Otto-Albert Hirschmann; April 7, 1915 – December 10, 2012) was an influential economist and the author of several books on political economy and political ideology. His first major contribution was in the area of development economics.[1] Here he emphasized the need for unbalanced growth. Because developing countries are short of decision making skills, disequilibria to stimulate these and help mobilize resources should be encouraged. Key to this was encouraging industries with a large number of linkages to other firms.
His later work was in political economy and there he advanced two simple but intellectually powerful schemata. The first describes the three basic possible responses to decline in firms or polities: Exit, Voice, and Loyalty. The second describes the basic arguments made by conservatives: perversity, futility and jeopardy, in The Rhetoric of Reaction.
In World War II, he played a key role in in rescuing refugees in occupied France.
Hirschman was born in Berlin, Germany, the son of Carl and Hedwig Marcuse Hirschmann, and brother of Ursula Hirschmann.[2] After he had started studying in 1932 at Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, he was educated at the Sorbonne, the London School of Economics and the University of Trieste, from which he received his doctorate in economics in 1938.[2]
Soon thereafter, Hirschman volunteered to fight on behalf of the Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War. After France surrendered to the Nazis, he worked with Varian Fry to help many of Europe's leading artists and intellectuals to escape to the United States; Hirschman helped to lead them from occupied France to Spain through paths in the Pyrenees Mountains and then to Portugal.
A Rockefeller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley (1941–1943), he served in the United States Army (1943–1946) where he worked in the Office of Strategic Services,[3] was appointed Chief of the Western European and British Commonwealth Section of the Federal Reserve Board (1946–1952), served as a financial advisor to the National Planning Board of Colombia (1952–1954) and then became a private economic counselor in Bogotá (1954–1956).
Following that he held a succession of academic appointments in economics at Yale University (1956–1958), Columbia University (1958–1964), Harvard University (1964–1974) and the Institute for Advanced Study (1974–2012).
Hirschman helped develop the Hiding hand principle in his 1967 essay 'The principle of the hiding hand'.
In 2003, he won the Benjamin E. Lippincott Award from the American Political Science Association to recognize a work of exceptional quality by a living political theorist for his book The Passions and the Interests: Political Arguments for Capitalism before Its Triumph.
In 2007, the Social Science Research Council established an annual prize in honor of Hirschman.[4]
He died at the age of 97 on December 10, 2012.
The Passions and the Interests[edit]
This is a history of the ideas laying the intellectual groundwork for capitalism. Hirschman describes how thinkers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries embraced the sin of avarice as an important counterweight to humankind's destructive passions. Capitalism was promoted by thinkers including Montesquieu, Sir James Steuart, and Adam Smith as repressing the passions for "harmless" commercial activities. Hirschman noted that words including "vice" and "passion" gave way to "such bland terms" as "advantage" and "interest."
Hirschman described The Passions and the Interests as the book he most enjoyed writing. According to Hirschman biographer Jeremy Adelman, the book reflected Hirschman's political moderation, a challenge to reductive accounts of human nature by economists as a "utility-maximizing machine" as well as Marxian or communitarian "nostalgia for a world that was lost to consumer avarice."
