It's All Premised on Having the Right Players, Says 'Coolest Young Entrepreneur'
What makes a successful business thrive? That's what eight out of 10 new entrepreneurs would like to know, because their businesses fail within the first 18 months, according to Bloomberg.
Adam Witty has managed to turn plenty of heads in the business community as founder and CEO of Advantage Media Group, (http://advantagefamily.com/), an international publisher of business, self-improvement, and professional development books and online learning.
Witty, who was selected for INC Magazine's 30 Under 30 list of "America's coolest young entrepreneurs" in 2011, says creating the right environment is crucial for success. The magazine also featured his company in their top 500|5000 list of the Fastest Growing Private Companies in America for 2012 and 2013, when the company ranked No. 42 in Media and No. 36 for Top 100 South Carolina Companies.

Ontario, CA – Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) joined with Reps. Gloria Negrete McLeod (CA-35) and Mark Takano (CA-41), and the Export-Import Bank to host the Small Business Global Access Forum. The purpose of the event was to provide resources to Southern California businesses to enter overseas markets. As Ranking Member of the Small Business Committee's Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access Subcommittee, Rep. Chu released the following statement:
"Foreign markets can serve as an important tool to boost sales for small businesses, especially as our economy is recovering. But businesses cannot just open new markets overnight. Workshops like this – and support from the Export-Import Bank – can help California's business owners acquire the tools and resources they need to understand challenges like export regulations and tap into new markets," said Rep. Chu. "Tapping into these markets and shipping American-made products overseas create more jobs, especially good manufacturing jobs, here at home."

Glad another person with an open mind tried the competition and discovered it's worthwhile.
Thanks - it's amazing how many people will bash the brand they don't use on a forum and never try it. With all of the vitriole surrounding the D600 and with the 6D not looking stellar I thought it was time to try it out.
I too am still caught in the Canon user interface paradigm and sometimes wish my D800's controls were easier to locate at times. More time spent with it and it's becoming familiar.
Before I rented the D600 I used it and a D800 in a local shop... I definitely liked the D600 controls more. D800 were even further from what I'm used to.
I DO miss the incredibly good live-view performance of my 5D2 for manual focusing in low light.
The D800 is disappointingly noisy in this aspect altho I found I can trust the focus rangefinder function to be very precise in most lighting conditions with any focus point i select so I can still MF with confidence.
Hmmm - you're the second one to mention that - seems like I overlooked something....

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona women's soccer dropped a 4-0 decision to Washington State Friday afternoon at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium.
Arizona (7-6-3) recorded a total of 10 shots with freshman Lexe
Selman leading the team with four. Sophomores Kaitlyn Lopez and Sheaffer
Skadsen each recorded two shots a piece.
Washington State (10-3-3) midfielder Cara Wegner scored the first goal in the 20th
minute to put the Cougars up 1-0 in the first half. In the second half,
junior Nicole Setterlund recorded her fifth goal of the season off a
pass from teammate Micaela Castain. Four minutes later, Setterlund
scored her second goal of the game after Jocelyn Jeffers shot rebounded
off the post. The fourth and final goal for Washington State came from
Mesa Owsley off a free kick outside of the Wildcat goal box.
"They attacked us and we didn't attack them," head coach Tony Amato
said. "I thought they brought a lot more energy and we know that if we
can't match that energy, we're in trouble. Washington State did a great
job of bringing intensity to the game. We have less than 48 hours to
regroup for Sunday's game."
In the net, goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman recorded nine saves for the
Wildcats. Cougar goalkeeper Gurveen Clair recorded two saves in the 74
minutes she played and backup goalkeeper Alexis Thode recorded two in
the 16 minutes she played.
Up next, the Cats host Washington on Sun., Oct. 27 at noon. The match will be played at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium.

It has just been announced that First Interstate Bank's potential purchase of Mountain West Bank, could result in some closures and layoffs for the company.
On Tuesday, First Interstate Banksystem Inc. announced that this purchase could lead to the closure of half of Mountain West's Branches. Because this means layoffs are on the way, they plan to give out a severance package and assistance in finding new employment.
With this acquisition, First Interstate's assets will grow to $8.2 billion. But in order for this to go through, shareholders of Mountain West Financial Corporation need to approve it. Bank executives believe regulatory approval will come by July. If this is the case, the brand change over will be complete by the end of the year.

(WMC-TV) - An ice cream truck driver is charged with being too loud.
Horn Lake police say the music coming from the ice cream truck violated a city noise ordinance.
It is definitely a familiar sound of summer, but Shirley Carpenter says the noise from the ice cream truck that cruises through her neighborhood on a hot day can be annoying.
"Yeah, it gets your attention. It's a little loud!" she said.
The ice cream man now has to pay a large fine after he was slapped with a $300 ticket.
Horn Lake Police Chief Darryl Whaley says the music violated the town's ordinance.
"Unless there is an exception carved out, we apply the ordinance as it's written. In this particular case that was not the initial reason for that stop. The initial reason was because he was selling in the park and we don't allow that. And those vendors know that," said Horn Lake Police Chief Darryl Whaley.
According to police, the rule states that noise from vehicles cannot travel further than 30 feet from your vehicle. And noise from people's homes or property has to stay within their property.
But some residents agree the ordinance is too strict. And even though Carpenter thinks the ice cream truck music may be annoying, she does not necessarily agree with the citation.
"I don't think it's fair that he was cited for that. Only thing I would tell him to do is turn it down some," she said.
Action News 5 was told the ice cream truck driver works for Frosty Treats Incorporated.
Company President Carl Long released the following statement:
"Frosty Treats apologizes to the city of Horn Lake and is concerned over any violation of any city's ordinance or regulations. We are making contact with the city to make sure in the future that we are aware of and in full compliance with all city laws."
"You got a lot of noise that comes from vehicles that disturb people and the tranquility of their neighborhood," said Chief Whaley.
The noise ordinance has been on the books in Horn Lake since 1998.

Working with children who experience bullying will be the focus of a conference for Maine school counselors and leaders that is sponsored by the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development.
The free professional development opportunity will take place 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27 in the Wells Conference Center on the Orono campus.
This is the college's second annual "Flagship Forum: Conference for Maine School Counselors and Leaders." About 250 participants including school counselors, administrators and faculty, as well as UMaine students and staff, took part in last year's conference that focused on school law, ethics and financial education.
Four presentations are scheduled for this year's conference:

Teeter Hang-Ups EP-550 Sport with Gravity Boots
For a more intense inversion experience and greater versatility, consider the EP-550 Sport! The EP-550 Sport includes all the features of the EP-550, plus:
Gravity Boots: Use your Gravity Boots with the table or take them to the gym; great for inverted sit-ups and squats. The Gravity Boots wrap comfortably around each ankle, securing with adjustable, self-locking ratchet buckles. Super-soft 5/8" foam liners are a special blend to give maximum comfort with minimum compression. Made of light, highly durable DuPont Hytrel material for a comfortable fit.
EZ StretchTM Traction Handles: With the muscles in your lower back relaxed, pushing on the handles can help to increase traction and enhance your stretching experience. The handles can also be used as a tool for intermittent traction and oscillation.
Standard to All EP-Series Inversion Tables:
- Peace of Mind: Quality manufacturing and 5-year-warranty allow you to invert with confidence and peace of mind
- Ergonomic Flex-TechnologyTM: Our patented design moves with you, accommodating stretches for greater range of motion. Movement while inverted encourages realignment and relaxes muscles. An adjustable pillow keeps it comfy.
- Optimum Decompression Surface: The smooth surface reduces friction, allowing the body to slide and achieve the optimum decompressive stretch.
- No Tear, No Stain Construction: Plastic injection-molded construction is more durable than typical nylon or vinyl beds vulnerable to wear and tear. The easy-to-clean surface ensures pristine appearance over years of use.
- Ankle Comfort Dial: The new foot platform design dials up or down for smaller or larger feet, allowing a comfortable and secure fit for the ankle clamps.
- Precision Balancing: Compared with competing brands, engineering tests have shown that Teeter inversion tables are the most precisely balanced to allow controlled lockout in full inversion.
- Customize: Teeter Hang Ups offers the only inversion tables on the market that can be modified with accessories like the Far Infrared Vibration Cushion (EP-950 cannot be converted for use with Gravity Boots).
- Stable Base (and added floor protection): A-frame tubing with corner feet that increase the A-frame base by 20% and reduce sliding on hard surfaces.
- Unique and Patented Security Features: Auto-locking hinges, cam locks, and heat-treated steel parts create a product that is more secure and more reliable.
- Smooth, Quiet Rotation: A de-rattler knob and specialized pivot bearings ensure a lifetime of squeak and rattle-free rotation.
- High Quality Finishes: Features scratch-resistant powder coating and triple-plated chrome.
- Quick Storage: Folds in just a few seconds to 28" x 16" x 66" (71 x 41 x 168 cm).

I'm wondering if there'd be an interest here for a Fantasy League amongst CFC members.
The Official Premier League one is the best one and by far the most used:
I find it always adds interest to what I'd otherwise call 'shi**y midtable matches'and those Saturday Open Threads would probably become a bit more emotional.
Maybe this has already been discussed in some thread but I've not seen it.
I'm probably too lazy to do it, but if some Mod or more valued member of the CFC community doesn't throw there name forward for setting up a Private League then I may be tempted to do it myself (if there's enough interest).
Look forward to some sort of response, and I advise not waiting till Friday to set up a team because in the last few years the FPL site has been rather slow the day before the season starts.....which is unsuprising given the 2 Million+ users.

CLEMSON, S.C. — Down this way they call it, Pulling a Clemson.
Its the term for a Tigers football team, highly ranked, playing so perplexingly bad one game that it calls a whole season into question. Third-ranked Clemson drew a lot of inquiries along those lines this week because a classic pulling a Clemson happened last time the Tigers traveled to Raleigh to play N.C. State.
Clemson entered that 2011 game ranked No.7 with a record of 9-1 overall, 6-1 in the ACC. The Wolfpack was 5-5, 2-4.
The result N.C. State 37, Clemson 13 at Carter-Finley Stadium was one of the most miserable games Tigers coach Dabo Swinney can recall.
They kicked our butts two years ago, Swinney said Tuesday. They were playing on a 20-yard field. We were playing on a hundred-yard field.
Much has changed since then for the Wolfpack. N.C. State replaced coach Tom OBrien with Dave Doeren, who runs a more up-tempo offense similar to Clemsons under offensive coordinator Chad Morris.
The Tigers are 2-0 with a victory against top-10 Georgia and aspire to play for a national championship. But the memory of that 2011 game (it broke a seven-game Clemson winning streak against the Wolfpack) is stinging and educational.
We had just clinched the division (the week before) and I just think that we werent a very mature team then, said senior quarterback Tajh Boyd. We just didnt handle success. Its not just learning to handle adversity. Its learning to handle success.
Talented as the Tigers were back then, they had 40-some freshmen or redshirt freshmen. They were a team that ran hot and cold, jumping out to an 9-1 start only to finish 10-4 with a 70-33 Orange Bowl loss to West Virginia.
Boyd chose not to turn pro last spring to explore just how good Clemson could be this season. He has one of the countrys best wide receivers in Sammy Watkins. But that loss in Raleigh reminds him how fragile these seasons can be in a sport where a single loss can blow up a year of preparation.
I believe were a very different team than two years ago, Boyd said. Its the leadership role were in as seniors. Thats our job.
He said that involves reminding freshmen that 10- or 11-victory seasons arent a given.
This week of practice has been very encouraging, Boyd said. Were dialed in. When we step on the football field, its nothing but football.
Apparently that wasnt always so. Watkins acknowledged the 2011 group, for all its talent, didnt understand humility. He said part of the change has been coach-induced, part peer-to-peer.
The coaches are keeping us humble and weve come together as a group, said Watkins, who sat out that last game in Raleigh with a shoulder injury. Theyre watching everything we do; whether we practice hard or not practice hard.
And if I or Tajh has a bad practice, well get on each other.
To offensive guard Tyler Shatley, a fifth-year senior, this mature and humble theme comes down to not being deluded by numbers.
We cant look at a ranking and say, Its all about a number were ranked and theyre not. We need to play like we have something to prove, like were the last team in the country, Shatley said.
That game proved to us anybody can be beaten any time.

Cup Of Joe For A Joe
program. This has been a wonderful way for Americans everywhere to say thanks to our Troops and let them know they're appreciated through the simple act of
buying a cup of freshly brewed coffee, writing a personal letter of encouragement to go with it and having both delivered into the hands of a serviceman or woman serving far from home. The idea behind Cup Of Joe For A Joe is to give an opportunity to send a Cup of Joe (Troops call them a COJ) and a letter of thanks to our servicemen and women overseas supporting Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) or Operation New Dawn (Iraq).

A man who allegedly left three dogs alone in an apartment to die has been apprehended in North Smithfield.
Joseph Miller is accused of leaving three pit bulls in his Bowdoin Street apartment to starve to death in December.
Miller faces 3 felony charges of abandonment, death resulting and three misdemeanors charges of failure to providence necessary sustenance. He could face up to 6 years in prison on the felony charges and $10,000 in fines. On the misdemeanors he faces up to 33 months in prison and fines.
Back in December, people who lived in the apartment building with Miller alerted authorities that something was wrong in Miller's apartment, "Neighbors smelled an unbearable smell and alerted police," said Dr. E.J. Finocchio. When police arrived at the apartment, described by Finocchio as "full of crude," the three dogs were found dead inside.
A necropsy confirmed that the pit bulls were starved to death over time.
"They were in terrible condition. Two of them we estimate had been dead 2 to 3 days," said Finocchio. "In their stomach we found, wood, we found plastic, we found glass, and plastic material. Dogs don't eat those things unless they are in desperate situations."

UNC Students Opposed to New Housing Policies
Thanks to all who signed. From housing: This communication is an update on the recent discussions and decision regarding the changes in the on-campus housing recontracting process. Following approval of the Recontracting Committee, Residence Hall Association, and Housing Advisory Board, the revised process was introduced to students. Among other changes, the plan allocates north campus space for all classes, and provides an additional 5% over past year for first year students and sophomores. This is to ensure a greater balance of students across campus by permitting all classes an opportunity to contract in north campus. The change also helps avoid the sophomore squeeze, which was experienced last year when sophomores had little or no options for north campus housing, and calls for sophomore priority in recontracting. Although most of the revisions received support from students, the recommendation to provide sophomores priority over seniors has met resistance. As a result, Housing and Residential Education reviewed and revisited the policy with members of the Chancellor

Monopolization of any single word in such a way is absolutely ludicrous. Furthermore, "Memory" is also the name of a common card game that exists in the public domain, perhaps many of those removed apps are indeed incarnations of it. It's time for serious IP law reformation.
|Tom Baird
That is a surprisingly large amount of countries that allow a company to maintain a absolute control over the usage of a very common word.
|Christopher Stoy
This has happened to us at Mad Monkey Militia. We have a game, DragonEye, that simply has "memory" as a keyword, and we STILL got the the email from Apple to remove it. We don't have time to go back and update the game, so unless Apple helps us out by removing the keyword, we'll get removed from the AppStore.
|Alex Leighton
That's just stupid.
|james sadler
So I'm going to make a couple of games called "The" and "A" and maybe even "i", trademark them and force thousands of companies from using the words in their titles, but only after they've established customers.
I guess I could somewhat understand this if the other games were card based/board games, but they're video games which should hold no crossover trademark infringement. Especially for a commonly used phrase.
|Ron Dippold
Shades of the 'Edge' fiasco, except in this case they have enough lawyers to make it stick.
|Dave Blanpied
Bet Google/Andriod doesn't blink.
|Robert Carter
Square-Enix should copyright the RPG genre. That would be good for the industry. Gamers can only benefit right?
Seriously though, entire genres and vague one word names should not be copyright-able. Its called 'Magic: The Gathering' because 'Magic' could not have been copyrighted or owned. Sorry but the guys at Ravensburger werent the first people to use the word 'memory'.
They should make iOS take down every game with the word burger in it too. Lets see how far we can take this patent trolling!
|Ken Kinnison
Clue, memory, edge, scrolls... this is getting old.
|TC Weidner
if they are a german company wouldnt they have the word "Erinnerung" or something trademarked, not the english word "memory"?
I agree this is all getting ridiculous and silly. So apple app developers now have to do trademark searches for Estonia now? wtf?
|Lex Allen
By far the most ridiculous IP claim so far. I think we need to start a boycott on Ravensburger for being so ridiculous.
|Sebastian Cardoso
Oh, the humanity.
|brad coleman
Just silly so now we're going to get a bunch of memoryz or zmemory... Guess they could go with recollection or remembrance. Man how long before the whole dictionary is taken?
Probably already a product but looks like someone could publish a dictionary of trademarked words. The guy/girl who decides to create a game called "memory scroll edge" is in for a world of hurt.
|Janosch Dalecke
The article states that most of the games using memory in their name are actually using a similar gameplay. I can see that Ravensburger owning a game with that mechanic and the name "Memory" will want to defend that. If you make a clone of tetris and even market it with that name you wouldn't expect to get away with that either, would you? If you clone a not-so-unique gameplay, at least come up with an original name for it, okay?
|David Canela
This is mainly a language thing. It's easier to understand when you realize other countries speak other languages than English (it's true!). Common words are hard to trade mark. Common words of a foreign language, not so much. I'm willing to bet you could trademark a Swaheli word in an english-speaking country. That said, nowadays simple english words might not be so easy, because there's an assumption people speak a bit of English, but for instance "flabbergasted" would still be feasible. Back when Memory was trademarked, however, there weren't so many people in, let's say, Austria, who knew English. Of course there are also other things to consider, such as what kinds of products you're requesting the trademark for (e.g. "car" wouldn't be allowed for cars, whereas it might be for hair products because it's not descriptive).
|Joe Wreschnig
Blizzard, Civilization, Fable, Lips, Fallout, Biohazard, XIII (that's not even a word!), Contact, Contra, Steam - Why are those okay to trademark but not Memory?
Or are you saying I should be able to open a studio named "Valve" and publish a game called "Halo"? They're just single English words!
Ravensburger may be overreaching here - going after the "memory" keyword, if true, is pretty harsh - but the reaction of most Gamasutra commenters is ridiculous. Ravensburger isn't a NPE; having an exclusive game title is not a strange idea; and just because something is older than you doesn't mean you can ignore it.
|Michael Rooney
Does anyone know how trademarks work for words as a fractional part of the title? It seems like, "Preschool Memory Match" shouldn't violate the trademark as it is referencing "memory" the word rather than "Memory" the title.
In any case, I would consider filing a class action against them for harassment or some such. Especially threatening takedowns over keywords/meta-data.
|Christopher Stoy
Thanks for running the story. I totally understand the desire to protect the Memory game trademark, but Ravensburger is being a bit heavy-handed about it. There is no way a small, self-funded company like Mad Monkey Militia can hope to fight them. Unless Apple steps up to protect their smaller developers, I think this kind of thing will ultimately hurt the AppStore. It should be Ravensburger job to prove to Apple that someone is violating their trademark, instead of just a blanket "you used the word memory, your app must go!".
Also, unless something has changed, you can't change keywords for an existing App. You have to submit a new build, and sadly, we don't have the resources to update an older game while we are working on a new one.
|Christian Kulenkampff
I just want to add, that IF YOU DON'T DEFEND YOUR TRADEMARKS, YOU LOSE THEM. Companies have to sue everbody otherwise they lose their trademarks (also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genericized_trademark). Bigger contrahents could argue that there are many games that are called Memory on the market and that Memory is a common word for such a game. This is why Ravensburger is forced by law to defend any attempt to generalize their word mark "Memory".
While patent trolling is especially in US out of control, trademark defense is essential to the concept of trademarks. I don't get why everybody is so upset about this.
|Bart Stewart
Protecting a game's form, yes.
Even protecting a word, strange, but OK.
But as Michael Rooney asks, how can it make practical sense as a legal restriction that compound titles may not contain any protected word?
If I sell a game whose complete title is "Scrolls: The Edge of Memory," that's at least four opportunities for someone to sic their legal hounds on me. Why? That's unnecessarily complicating commerce today (translation: needlessly raising product costs and potentially eliminating some products altogether), and it's only going to get worse if compound titles are not treated as unique.
Look forward to a future where game titles will all be something like "Skrflgnchk." (Apologies to anyone who's already trademarked the word "Skrflgnchk.")
|David Canela
It's also noteworthy that a trademark's range of protection can vary: strong trademarks have a wide radius where they can fend off other trademarks, whereas you can move closer to weaker ones. Another fun factor is that if you use something as a trademark long enough (years) and the target audience perceives it as such, even words etc. that per se wouldn't be allowed as trademarks can be established as such. I believe that's how a particular shade of yellow came to be a tm for postal services in Switzerland, and magenta is trademarked by the german telecom (for telecom services)...
Bottom line, if you want to be safe, do a quick research, or better yet, pay an expert to do it. And you're more likely to be safe with fantasy words like Skyrim, than words of any language, especially English, and the more descriptive it gets of genre or product type.
|Boborjan Pandacsoki
So, all you defendants of Ravensburger, you basically say that we should never ever use any kind of English titles for our games again, because if we do, then the next day we'll get all rightfully sued over every single word used in that title?
That's just brilliant.
|Paul Ginger
The problem here, in this particular case is the use of a key descriptor as a patented title. Basically the company has used a word that most accurately describes an entire range of products as the name for their product. Because the use of the optimal name of a range of products is restricted, your ability to optimally describe any product in that range with'in the title is infringed upon. Basically they are trying to own the word "memory" when referencing memory matching games. This would be a non-issue if the game was called "sneezes" and they were defending their exclusive right to the word "sneezes" when referencing memory matching games. Perhaps Ravensburger has some level of right to protect the name of their products from copying, but those rights pale in comparison to the right of people to accurately describe their product if they can do so without obviously copying the name and product. I don't want to get too political here but it seems something not so First Amendment friendly is happening here. Free speech over protectionism is always better for posterity. Oh and the same things stated here apply doubly to the "ownership" of keywords IMHO!
|Salome le Roux
I have not read all the comments, but I've noticed some recurring questions regarding trademarks, which I'd like to answer. The main purpose of a trade mark is to indicate the ORIGIN of a product and then some trade marks (especially well known ones) have a further advertising function. The idea of trademark law is to protect trademark owners firstly from confusion (users of "Preschool Memory Match" may think or wonder if the app comes from Ravenburger, I'm not saying they will... just giving an example) and secondly from their trademarks (if its well known) being diluted or tarnished. Dilution typically occurs when others take unfair advantage of the reputation of a trademark. Anyway, the point is: a trademark is not a monopoly that can just be enforced without more. This decree from Apple is not a court decision and has no bearing on trademark laws, it's a decision made by Apple and enforced in terms of its agreement with app developers. If Ravenburger were to sue any of the app developers for trademark infringement the relevant court would take into account a whole lot of factors and ultimately reach a decision which that court deems fit. The court would take into account the realities of the marketplace and would not give the IP owner undue monopoly.

Peter and the Starcatcher Tour Will Play San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and More
By Adam Hetrick
The national tour of the Tony Award-winning play with music Peter and the Starcatcher, will play stops in San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and more.
Based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and the Starcatcher traces the origins of the Peter Pan story. Ir first premiered Off-Broadway at the New York Theatre Workshop March 9, 2011, where it extended its run twice. The entire Off-Broadway cast returned for the Broadway transfer that began March 28, 2012, and opened to acclaim April 15 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. It ended its Broadway run Jan. 20, 2013. The production transferred to an open-ended Off-Broadway run at New World Stages in March.
Tony Award nominee Rick Elice (Jersey Boys, The Addams Family) authored the stage adaptation that is co-directed by Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers and Tony winner Roger Rees (The Addams Family, Nicholas Nickleby). It features original Tony Award-nominated songs by Wayne Barker.
The national tour launches in August at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, CO.
Casting for the tour has not been announced.
The current tour itinerary follows:
Denver, CO (Aug. 15-Sept. 1 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House)
Starcatcher received nine Tony Award nominations, and took home honors for Best Costume Design (Paloma H. Young), Best Lighting Design (Jeff Croiter), Best Sound Design (Darron L. West), Best Scenic Design (Donyale Werle) and Best Featured Actor (Christian Borle).
The play, according to producers, takes audiences on "a journey to answer the century-old question: How did Peter Pan become The Boy Who Never Grew Up? This epic origin story of one of popular culture's most enduring and beloved characters proves that an audience's imagination can be the most captivating place in the world."
Steven Hoggett (American Idiot, Black Watch, Once) created the movement for the production, which has set design by Tony Award winner Donyale Werle, costume design by Tony Award winner Paloma Young, lighting design by Tony Award winner Jeff Croiter, sound design by Tony Award winner Darron L West and musical supervision by Marco Paguia.
Peter and the Starcatcher is produced by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes and Disney Theatrical Productions.
Disney Theatrical Productions commissioned the work. Peter and the Starcatcher began life at the La Jolla Playhouse as part of the company's Page To Stage Play Development program.

The eBridge IBC SmartForm and workflow went live on December 21, 2013. Just like the eBridge IACUC process, the Institutional Biosafety Committee Application/Amendment preparation and submission, and IBC review processes will reside in eBridge. The Investigator will receive email notifications throughout the application workflow and all activities will be tracked in the history log.
The Office of Research, Research Systems Training, has scheduled training for 2014. Please complete the Registration form to attend a class. For more information, please contact email@example.com.
The eBridge IT Team converted basic information from currently Approved paper applications, such as IBC Application ID, title, PI name, approval date, etc. into eBridge. The PI and Study Team will monitor their Approved application from this basic shell in eBridge. At the time of the first Amendment or 3 Yr. Renewal, whichever comes first, the PI and Study Team will use the eBridge Application shell to input the remaining data from the paper Application. The completed eBridge Amendment or 3 Yr. Renewal is submitted to the IBC for review.
Below is a chart with the plan for converting existing IBC Applications/Amendments to eBridge. We suggest Principal Investigators and their study team review this chart in preparation for moving their IBC into eBridge.

[code review]
Hi there,
I am new to closures and come from a class-ical background. I am slowly understanding the principles and I asked on this forum the best way to set some simple flags protected by closures so that they retained their values and could be set() and get().
I had a few responses but didn't get what I wanted so I came up with this after reading a number of different tutorials:
PHP Code:
function Player(player,flowplayer,YouTube,chrome)
Player.prototype.set_state = function(){
this.current_player = player;
this.flowplayer_initiated = flowplayer;
this.YouTube_initiated = YouTube;
this.chrome = chrome;
Player.prototype.get_state = function(state) {
return state;
var player = new Player();
I would also appreciate any advice to help understand the many and often confusing different types of closures that are out there. I am very dedicated to Js and had some initial problems when first faced with the JQuery syntax ( mainly due to all the brackets and braces) but I soldiered on. I am keen to pick up as many tips as possible
thanks kindly

Ten-time world champ celebrated in Surf City
By: Joe Turpel
Main Street in downtown Huntington Beach was completely blocked off Tuesday night. The street that splits two of the biggest surf shops in the world had a stage set where cars should've been. The traffic still existed — hundreds of people battling for front and center positioning, as they anticipated the arrival of ten-time World Champion Kelly Slater. Kelly showed up about ten minutes late and looked really surprised.
"Did they close the street for me?" Kelly questioned the "Ten" chanting audience.
The Mayor of the City of Huntington Beach, Joe Carchio, was honored to present Kelly Slater with this special key.
"We don't give out a lot of keys," Mayor Carchio said, "and when we give it to someone like Kelly Slater it really means so much."
The first ASP World Champion, Peter Townend, opened up the ceremony and sat back with Quiksilver CEO Bob McKnight as Kelly reflected on his relationships with not only the waves in HB, but with the people as well. He thought of the fond memories he had over at Chuck Dent's shop, to eating at Jan's surf shop, to winning a NSSA National title, to surfing against and getting smoked by his hero Tom Curren at the Katin event when he was 13.
Mayor Carchio adds, "He is the guy that made Huntington Beach Surf City, USA. This is a small token of appreciation for all he is has done for us over the last 30 years."

Cardinals' Ryan Lindley will learn from mistakes
"It's funny, there were about six to ten throws there that you really want back but talking to Kevin (Kolb) and a lot of other guys, every game there are six to ten throws that you want back," said Lindley. "It's just that three of those were absolutely horrible."
Lindley threw four interceptions Sunday against the Rams, two of which were returned for touchdowns. In the two games he's played in this season, Lindley has compiled a passer rating of 47.0.
"You just have to correct those mistakes; you can't dwell on them but just move past it," he said.
Lindley is the third starting quarterback that the Cardinals have used this season due to injury and performance. He's completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards and zero touchdowns to go along with the four picks.
Lindley got some advice and some perspective from his teammates already this week.
"Kevin (Kolb) talked to me after we watched the film and he said �you know you played a pretty dang good game, besides those six or so plays, besides those four interceptions, it was a solid start.'"
Despite his struggles in the second half of last Sunday's loss to the Rams, Lindley says there are still some positive things to take from the game.
"For me, this is a results-driven game. We lost the game and I gave up 14 points," he said. "To myself, it wasn't a good game but there were things I can look at, I can move forward from, gain some confidence from and take into this week."
This weekend, the sixth-round pick from San Diego State will have the challenge of stopping the Cardinals current seven-game skid. They are the first team in NFL history to lose seven straight after starting 4-0, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Arizona hasn't lost eight straight games since 2006.

That was of course moronic:
Davis bet the firm and lost.
But Barry Ritholtz reminds us of another dumb mistake the firm made:
It didn't borrow hundreds of billions of dollars from pension funds, insurance companies, and other investors and use the money to make a lot of idiotic loans and pay its lawyers huge bonuses.
If Dewey had done that, it would have become Too Big To Fail.
And the government would have bailed it out.
And all the lawyers would get to keep their huge bonuses as well as their jobs--just like all the bankers at the Wall Street firms that bet their companies and lost.
Instead, Dewey is just going bust.
How dumb can you be?
* We jest, of course. This just reveals how fantastically stupid our country's Too Big To Fail policy is. It undermines the basic tenet of capitalism: When you do something stupid, you pay the price.

Eyeless in Gaza
Aldous Huxley
Publisher:Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Publication Date:2009
Written at the height of his powers immediately after Brave New World, Aldous Huxley's highly acclaimed Eyeless in Gaza is his most personal novel. Huxley's bold, nontraditional narrative tells the loosely autobiographical story of Anthony Beavis, a cynical libertine Oxford graduate who comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. Unfulfilled by his life, loves, and adventures, Anthony is persuaded by a charismatic friend to become a Marxist and take up arms with Mexican revolutionaries. But when their disastrous embrace of violence nearly kills them, Anthony is left shattered—and is forced to find an alternative to the moral disillusionment of the modern world.

DALLAS - Normally police don't want people breaking into homes, but Dallas police hope they do. At least, into their new bait houses.
They hope it helps crime victims like Margaret Dunkins, who came home to find someone had ripped out part of her garage to steal her things.
It shattered her sense of security.
"You do feel violated," Dunkins said. "You don't even feel safe at home anymore when things like this happen."
There are thousands of burglaries in Dallas every year. Only five percent of them are ever solved.
Officer Jeff Jacobs responds to many burglaries.
"It's a business, like our business," he said. "They plan on it."
Officers are constantly on the lookout for burglars, but police can't be everywhere.
That's why the Dallas Police Department is trying to use technology to catch crooks.
Lt. Catrina Shead heads the effort.
"Once these appliances move, the tracker goes off," Shead said.
It's called a bait house, similar to a bait car. When burglars break in, the video cameras turn on and police can monitor the thieves live.
"We will have GPS tracking placed on the inside of appliances, such as refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers in the house," Shead said.
Police will send officers immediately out to catch up with the suspects.
According to the DPD, the goal is not only to catch suspects, but find out where the stolen goods are being fenced. They want to know who is buying the stolen property.
The bait houses are exiting empty homes. Dallas police work with the owners to equip them with cameras and trackers. The equipment is donated by groups like Safer Dallas Better Dallas, so no public funds are used.
The department has one bait house up and running. It's been in operation for two months, but no arrests have been made yet.
They plan to equip more homes in the higher-crime areas.
That all sounds good to Margaret Dunkins, who wants the thieves who stole from her to be caught.
"They need to catch them and throw them under the jail house," she said.

When I was there a winch start past the first 2 bolts (I think it was 2) was considered legit and the route was 5.13a. The boulder problem bumps the grade up a bit even though it is not excedingly hard V6 or V7ish. Climb the long tuffa up the steep wall to its end. Continue up the overhanging face on pockets to the anchor. An extention has been done called The Black Bean and is 5.14- and a 70m pitch.

Note: Don't make an "X-cut" at the top; this will direct water into the structure. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/356859719_0605ha_04_tcm138-1571240.jpg?width=600 true 600 Secure the HousewrapNext, I fold the flaps onto the jambs, trim them a bit shy of the interior face of the studs, and tape them to the framing. Note: This makes the gap at the jambs much easier to foam. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/2017235070_0605ha_05_tcm138-1571241.jpg?width=600 true 600 Slope the SillI fasten a piece of beveled siding to the rough sill, with the thick edge toward the interior, to direct moisture outside. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1410639166_0605ha_06_tcm138-1571242.jpg?width=600 true 600 Prep the HeadI create a head flap by making two 6-inch-long 45-degree cuts at the upper corners... http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1694058798_0605ha_07_tcm138-1571243.jpg?width=600 true 600 ... then temporarily fold and tape the flap up out of the way. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1693890685_0605ha_08_tcm138-1571244.jpg?width=600 true 600 Flash the SillAfter taping the housewrap to the studs, I install the sill flashing membrane, cutting it a foot longer than the width of the opening so it can extend up the jambs 6 inches. Note: I prefer to use Tyvek FlexWrap, a butyl-based flashing membane. It has the self-healing characteristics of generic peel-and-stick but can also be stretched to form seamless corners. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/368470315_0605ha_09_tcm138-1571245.jpg?width=600 true 600 After removing the release paper, I make sure the membrane is centered in the opening... Note: Flashing membranes are meant to be installed at temperatures of 45 degrees or above. In colder weather, I keep the flashing in a warm place and cut pieces as I need them. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1647043112_0605ha_10_tcm138-1571246.jpg?width=600 true 600 ...then lower it onto the sill and press it into place, working from the middle toward the corners. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1159934816_0605ha_11_tcm138-1571247.jpg?width=600 true 600 Seamless CornerIn the corners, I carefully stretch the flashing out to create seamless protection. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/201967021_0605ha_13_tcm138-1571248.jpg?width=600 true 600 The flashing has a memory, so to prevent it from curling back, I drive a cap nail at the outer edge to hold it in place until the adhesive cures (24 to 48 hours). http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1742854764_0605ha_14_tcm138-1571249.jpg?width=600 true 600 Finally, I smooth the vertical portion of the flashing against the housewrap. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/66062503_0605ha_15_tcm138-1571250.jpg?width=600 true 600 Caulk the OpeningBefore installing the window, I apply a heavy bead of elastomeric latex caulk at the jambs and the head, but I never caulk the sill flange area. Note: Should any moisture find its way into the rough opening, this caulk-free sill flange, coupled with the sloped sill, will provide a weep area for water to escape. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/768638172_0605ha_16_tcm138-1571251.jpg?width=600 true 600 Install the WindowNext, I install the window, driving roofing nails through the preformed holes in the flanges, spacing them about 6 inches apart or per the manufacturer's directions. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/887957667_0605ha_18_tcm138-1571252.jpg?width=600 true 600 Flash the Jambs and HeadStarting 2 to 3 inches above the window head, I apply flashing membrane over the jamb flanges, letting the tape extend at least to the bottom of the sill flashing. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1403261582_0605ha_19_tcm138-1571253.jpg?width=600 true 600 I always use a J-roller to apply strong, even pressure to the flashing tape. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/26137750_0605ha_21_tcm138-1571254.jpg?width=600 true 600 Next I apply flashing over the head flange... http://www.builderonline.com/Images/2105669138_0605ha_22_tcm138-1571255.jpg?width=600 true 600 ... lapping it over the top of the jamb flashings. Note: Applying the head flashing directly to the sheathing provides another level of protection. If any moisture were to find its way behind the housewrap and seep down to the window, it would encounter the head flashing and be directed over the windowhead flange, not behind it. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1079917197_0605ha_23_tcm138-1571256.jpg?width=600 true 600 Lap the HeadOnce I've applied the head flashing, http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1011964938_0605ha_24_tcm138-1571257.jpg?width=600 true 600 I fold the housewrap flap down over it... http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1363168716_0605ha_25_tcm138-1571258.jpg?width=600 true 600 ...then tape the 45-degree corners with housewrap tape. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1107944703_0605ha_26_tcm138-1571259.jpg?width=600 true 600 Skip-Tape the HeadI "skip-tape" (apply short pieces of tape with gaps in between) the lower edge of the flap in place. Note: These skip-taped gaps act as weeps, giving any moisture that gets to the window head a way to escape. http://www.builderonline.com/Images/1459148481_0605ha_27_tcm138-1571260.jpg?width=600 true 600 Skip-Tape the Sill FlangeI also skip-tape the bottom (uncaulked) sill flange so that any moisture that gets in can weep out. Skip-taping also limits air leaks, though it's not entirely airtight. 1 of 1 Get the link to this image: Copy There's nothing like having a client call and tell you a window you installed is leaking. Ruined interior finishes and rotting framing are bad enough, but worst of all is the damage to your reputation as a skilled and reliable contractor.However, if you follow the basics, you needn't worry. In this slide show, veteran builder and JLC Live presenter Carl Hagstrom demonstrates the right way to install a flanged window unit by detailing the housewrap and flashing tape so that any water that gets behind the siding will drain safely to the outside.Carl says, "Flashing windows properly isn't difficult, and adds only about 15 minutes in labor and about $15 in materials per unit. As a builder, there's nothing I do in one day that puts more dollars in a house than installing the windows. Spending a little extra time getting things right sure makes sense to me."To read the entire article as it appeared in JLC, click here.

William Bratton, whose tenure as commissioner of the New York Police Department in the 1990s was marked by a steep decline in crime and clashes with then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, has been chosen to lead the nation's largest police department again, according to two of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's campaign officials.
The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement on Thursday. They were informed of de Blasio's decision but not authorized to speak publicly about an administration appointment.
Bratton is being named to lead the NYPD as it tries to maintain a historic drop in crime and an extensive counterterrorism program, even as its tactics have come under increased scrutiny.
Bratton, who has also led the Boston and Los Angeles police departments, will succeed Raymond Kelly, the NYPD's longest-serving commissioner. He is arguably the most important administration appointment for de Blasio, a Democrat who takes office Jan. 1.
Bratton, known for his outsized personality and fondness for the limelight, was police commissioner under Giuliani, a Republican, from 1994 to 1996. He emphasized the broken-windows theory of police work: that criminals who commit small crimes, such as vandalism, also commit more serious crimes.
Bratton helped spearhead the use of CompStat, a data-driven system of tracking crimes that allows police to better allocate their resources to high-crime areas. The real-time system is still used today.
Crime immediately plummeted under Bratton, who benefited from an influx of new police officers.
The year before Bratton took office, there were 1,946 murders citywide; by contrast, in 1996 there were 983, the first time it had dipped under 1,000 since 1968.
But Bratton frequently fought with Giuliani over who deserved the lion's share of the credit. He resigned after two years.
