Air conditioning not working and warm humid night, so had to sleep with window open over busy street. Credit card machine not working so had to walk down the street to withdraw 100+ euros to pay bill. Otherwise comfort, location and staff OK and price/quality standard for Paris. Just let down by broken facilities.

How The Voice gave Ricky Wilson the perfect way to spotlight Kaiser Chiefs
Posted: April 05, 2014|
Ricky Wilson is the man of the moment thanks to his role as a mentor on TV talent show The Voice, which comes to a nail biting close in the live final tonight.
But 18 months ago it was very nearly game over for his band Kaiser Chiefs, who shot to prominence with their debut LP, Employment – and singles Everyday I Love You Less and Less, I Predict a Riot and Oh My God – in 2005.
"Who, at the start of 2014, was sitting around saying: 'I can't wait for a new album by Kaiser Chiefs, I wonder what those guys are up to' – who? Not many people, I can tell you," says the singer and frontman from Yorkshire who now lives in Falmouth.
"We're realists," he adds. "We knew no one cared."
It was announced late last year that Ricky would be a judge on the BBC One singing competition, joining Kylie Minogue as a new face on the show, alongside Black Eyed Pea will.i.am and veteran Tom Jones.
"I was asked to do it three weeks before filming was meant to start, and two weeks before we were going to Atlanta to record the new album," he continues. "I started getting really panicky about it and hadn't told the others I was even thinking it over."
He says he was initially unsure, not wanting his own profile to detract from the band, or undermine the new songs they'd written.
"I didn't want to go on TV and make it look like I was trying to sell the band, but when I told them I'd been offered the job, they were all for it. We all agreed that if you're in an alternative band and you're asked on Saturday night TV, you do it. If we'd been asked to perform, we'd have bitten their hands off, so why would I say no to going on 12 weeks in a row, where I can get my personality across and remind everyone that there's a band called Kaiser Chiefs? How can that not be a good thing?"
Time will tell how it has turned around the band's fortunes, although Education, Education, Education and War is tipped to top the charts tomorrow. It's a far cry from the way things seemed after their third album, Off With Their Heads, in 2008. The sort of guitar music they made was, by then, unfashionable – even their way with a hook and chorus.
2011's The Future Is Medieval, had something of the gimmick about it too, inviting fans to choose a final tracklist from a pool of 20 songs.
In 2012, when promoting Souvenir, their Best Of compilation, they already knew main songwriter and drummer Nick Hodgson was going to leave. When eventually did in 2012, the instant reaction outside the band was that they were finished without his writing talent.
There was a fair amount of doubt within the group too, but after initial panics that they wouldn't be able to write any songs on their own, the remaining members decided they still really wanted to be in the band.
"There was a time when I thought it was over," says Ricky. "The four of us were in a dressing room and I said, 'Well, I want to carry on, do you?' And then it was like, 'Oh you do? Well I do. And what about you?', and it turned out we all did but just hadn't said it out loud. If one of us had not wanted to, then we'd have called it a day and done something else, but it was a group decision."
They quickly had to step up to writing songs, and wrote lots and lots before finding any they were happy with. They've also learned the full extent of Nick Hodgson's responsibility as chief Chief, and have expanded to fill those gaps.
The resulting album, its title a nod to former Prime Minister Tony Blair's manifesto pledge and actual legacy, is their most confident-sounding since Employment nine years ago.
"I don't want it to sound like we're doing him down, or what he did for the band, but him [Hodgson] leaving is the best thing that could've happened to us," says Ricky. "We were put in the position where we had to fight for the band again. It wasn't until things were shaken up that we realised how important it was to us."

ABERDEEN -- A woman who helped steal more than $9,000 from an Aberdeen casino has a chance to keep her record clean.
Risanna Haddock has pleaded guilty to felony grand theft. She's been sentenced to 60 days in jail and two years of probation and fined $804.
The American News in Aberdeen reports Haddock and a friend that worked at Rain Forest Casino had devised a plan to steal the money. While Whitney Joseph, 26, went outside to smoke a cigarette, Haddock took $9,058 and left.
A judge granted Haddock granted a suspended imposition of sentence, which means the incident won't go on her record if she follows the terms of her probation.

Marca (chiefly) are reporting that Madrid are seeking to extend Sami Khedira's contract to 2018. The player has a serious injury, but his status as a preferred starter (when fit) under Carlo Ancelotti means the club are keen to renew. Marca's analysis, in their article, is interesting because it is correctly noted that Khedira is not a favourite of the press or the fans in the stadium, but that the coaching staff consider him important.
The paper also notes the obvious point: with his contract up in 18 months, Real Madrid will not potentially receive any offers for the player that will improve on the 40 million allegedly offered by Manchester United on transfer deadline day as Khedira's contract runs down. So extending his contract means ensuring that a still-young, valuable and marketable International keeps his transfer-value.
A glance at the German papers this morning in Sami Khedira's homeland for more information on the rumour reveals that they have nothing to add to the information from Marca. T-Online, Bild, STERN et al., are all basing their stories on Marca's initial report and seem to have no added inside information from the player or his agent.
For these reasons, it is a difficult rumour to be certain about. But common sense would dictate that Real Madrid extend the player's contract for the reasons Marca has laid out.
Do you think Sami Khedira should extend his contract with Real Madrid?

Teachers' Salaries in Latin America. How Much are They (under or over) Paid?
AbstractThis paper documents the extent to which teachers are underpaid vis-à-vis workers in other professional and technical occupations in Latin America circa 2007. These labor earnings differences, attributed to observable socio-demographic and job characteristics, are assessed using a matching methodology (Ñopo, 2008). Teachers' underpayment is found to be stronger than what has been previously reported in the literature, especially among pre-school and primary teachers. Nonetheless, behind the region averages there is an important cross-country heterogeneity. Teachers' underpayment is more pronounced among males, older workers, household heads, part-timers, formal workers, those who work in the private sector, and (mostly) among those with complete tertiary education. Two amenities of the teaching profession, namely the longer job tenure and the flexible job schedules within the year, are also explored. Even after accounting for the possible compensating differentials of these two amenities, teachers' underpayment vis-à-vis that of other professional and technicians prevail.

More than 30 years ago, Tony Masamitsu took his passion for cars and turned it into Tony Group Autoplex. These days, Tony's son mans the company and holds true to his father's early ambitions to provide first-class service by treating customers as friends while providing them with new or used cars or executing maintenance services. Located just a short drive or long potato-sack race from Honolulu, the autoplex showcases a huge selection of cars, trucks, and SUVs from the likes of Honda, Volkswagen, and Nissan. In order to provide complete car care, the center also offers complimentary, eco-friendly car washes with each service.

To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, ?She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration.?
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand?s iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.

Baker rises to the occasion
6:00am Monday 31st March 2014 in News
IT MAY have taken more than 80 years, but an Oxfordshire bakery is now the proud holder of a prestigious award.
Nash's Bakery, of Priory Lane, Bicester, which has shops in Bicester, Oxford and Chipping Norton, has been awarded the Bakers' Marque – one of only 12 bakeries in the country to do so.
The Bakers' Marque is presented by the City of London's Worshipful Company of Bakers. It is given to firms that use local ingredients and make products from scratch. Judges also look at facilities, staff skills and how the business supports the community.
Nash's was founded in 1930 by William Nash, who died in 2007, aged 103.
Graham Nash, who took over the business from his father, said: "For Nash's to be judged by the Worshipful Company of Bakers to be one of the very best bakeries in the country is hugely pleasing and is testament to the hard work and dedication of every employee of the firm."

03:08 - As might be clear from this, the Korea-set segment is likely to be where the bulk of action and effects take place. There seems to be a fairly nifty speeder-bike chase here. It has been reported that the Wachowskis directed this section, and we believe the Luisa Rey and Zachry storylines too, with Tykwer taking the others. Though that isn't quite confirmed just yet.
03:20 - This appears to be from the final, post-apocalyptic section, and may or may not be the ruins of Nea So Copros.
03:37 - "The problem you create is a political one." Hey, that voice sounds familiar to Wachowski fans!
04:06 - Something of a money shot here, as Luisa Rey is rammed off a bridge into the water. Does she survive? Who knows? As the next title card ("Death") makes clear, not every protagonist survives their tale. Each storyline in the novel has a cliffhanger built in to it, picked up later, but the draft of the script that we read had changed that structure significantly.
04:49 - We're very curious about this shot with the slow-motion crockery, as it doesn't correspond to any scene we can recall from the book (though it's possible it slipped us by). Either way, that's Whishaw as Frobisher and D'Arcy as a younger Sixsmith.
04:57 - Diving off the boat there (and seen later on too) is young British actor David Gyasi, recently seen giving an impressive performance in the BBC's "White Heat." In this section at least, we think he plays Autua, a stowaway.
05:25 - Luisa's car spins through the water, as the cast list comes up. The only billed actor not glimpsed at all during the trailer, as best as we can tell, is Chinese actress Zhou Xun.
We'll find out it if it all adds up when "Cloud Atlas" hits theaters on October 26th.
Jimi | October 10, 2012 12:42 PM
The "mysterious figure" at 5:00 in the top hat is Old George, played by Hugo Weaving.
YELLOW | August 22, 2012 5:06 PM
Lol the blonde at 3:41 is definitely Zhou Xun, not Doona Bae.
Nik | August 11, 2012 11:53 AM
Zhou Xun is the blonde with the protractor on her head. She says she plays 3 characters in the movie.
Noah | July 29, 2012 6:14 AM
"Sixsmith, Dreamt I stood in a china shop so crowded from floor to far-off ceiling with shelves of porcelain antiquities etc. that moving a muscle would cause several to fall and smash to bits. Exactly what happened, but instead of a crashing noise, an august chord rang out, half-cello, half-celeste, D major (?), held for four beats. My wrist knocked a Ming vase affair off its pedestalâE-flat, whole string section, glorious, transcendent, angels wept." Sounds like that's where the bullet time slow motion comes into play. Looks stunning.
mindsale | July 28, 2012 7:42 AM
The gent in the top hat is Ol' Georgie, the islanders' religious trickster figure. Like Satan, if he were in a minstrel show. Also, before reading this, I had absolutely no idea that was Sturgess, Grant, or Berry - the makeup is absolutely phenomenal. I'm guessing Weaving's "political problem" character will also be Korean.
Freddy | July 28, 2012 7:40 AM
WHOA..just realised some of the disguised roles.Jim Sturgess makeup becoming an Asian is impressive as he really does look like a japaneses guy in those makeup.Even Berry looks convincing in a red saree
Ben | July 27, 2012 10:13 PM
I believe the crockery shot at 4:49 is a reference to the antics Frobisher committed with Sixsmith to get himself kicked out of the Frobishery.
I'm thrilled with this trailer and can't wait to see the full movie.
feihong | July 27, 2012 3:48 PM
The blond woman with the protractor drawn on her forehead is actually Zhou Xun, not Bae Doona.
Diana | July 27, 2012 2:37 AM
You can't get a clear look at her face, but from the stills released it looks like Bae Doona (in a curly, strawberry blonde wig) is also playing Ewing's wife Tilda in the 1850 storyline, so there is a kind of symmetry there, with Sturgess playing a Asian character and Bae playing a Caucasian one.
jingmei | July 26, 2012 10:12 PM
Looks like impactly too much.
dag | July 26, 2012 9:57 PM
The "mysterious figure" at 5:00 must be Georgie, the phantom who taunts Zachry at different moments in the Big Island chapter.
Candi | July 26, 2012 9:08 PM
I think that's James D'Arcy at 1:53 not Jim Sturgess.
Ahnmin | July 26, 2012 6:28 PM
Bae Doona is also at 4:38 as Jim Sturgess's wife.
Sean Young | July 26, 2012 6:04 PM
Why the hell didn't WB attach this to TDKR?
Jiao Chen | July 26, 2012 4:44 PM
I'm pretty sure the blonde girl next to Tom Hanks at 3:41 is Zhou Xun with impressive make up.
Sean Young | July 26, 2012 3:52 PM
Sturgess looks terrible in the Asian make-up. Aside from that I give this movie 50/50 chances of being unwatchable or amazing.

Training Camp Travel: How to Scope Out the Super Bowl Champs in Seattle
Are you ready for some football?! There's still a few months before the first official kickoff, but that doesn't mean that there isn't time for a sneak peek. Training camps are set to do their thing later this month, so if you've always wanted to check out the scrimmages and practices now's the time to start planning:
In case you missed it earlier this year the Seattle Seahawks brought home their very first Super Bowl title after defeating the Denver Broncos in a big way. Now that's all in the past, and the team is looking toward another winning season. Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, and Marshawn Lynch—well maybe, he's holding out for a new contract—are all now warming up for the season, and you can check them out.

Why Alaska Airlines is Spending Millions on Bicycles
Alaska Airlines is spreading its wings and venturing into another mode of transportation, as they're kind of getting into the bicycle business. In actuality it's more of a sponsorship deal—advertising their main business of flying to here and there—as they're chipping in $2.5 million to help get the Seattle metro area's bike share up and running later this year.
Pronto Emerald City Cycle Share will be similar to bike sharing systems set up in cities across the country and the globe, so we don't bore your with all the nitty gritty details. Do note that organizers recognize that the city is a little more hilly than other metro areas, and they're preparing the rental bikes to have a few more gears than in other cities and systems—seven to be exact.

Why You'll Want to Pop into Seattle Airport's Newest Shop
It's not everyday that a new record store opens up, and that's especially the case over at the airport. Things are a little bit different over in Seattle—in a good way, of course—and the city's airport just cut the ribbon on an outpost of the area's famous Sub Pop Records right at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The independent label is bringing the sounds of Seattle right into the terminal and concourse, as the spot is now doing its thing within main terminal near the start of Concourse C. It debuted Thursday morning complete with a concert from singer songwriter Chad VanGaalen—signed to the Sun Pop Records label.

Easy Day Trips from Seattle: Ruby Beach and the Olympic Peninsula West Coast
Seattle, home of the Space Needle, Starbucks, and so much more, is worth a trip to the Pacific Northwest alone – but not exploring further what Washington State has to offer while you're there would be a shame. This week, we're completing our look at a few options for a one-day or multi-day trip from the city.
Part 4: Ruby Beach and the West Coast (see here for part 1, part 2, and part 3)
When you re-join the U.S. 101 having explored the Hoh River Valley and the only temperate rainforest in the contiguous United States, it soon heads to the west coast of the Olympic peninsula, following the coastline for a 17-mile stretch before heading back inland.
Where the highway first meets the coast, it's worth taking the exit to Ruby Beach, so named for its pink sand, which gets its unusual color from the tiny grains of garnet it is made of. Leave your car behind in the designated lot and it's a short walk through the forest to the water. We were here on a particularly cloudy and blustery afternoon, which resulted in a greyer look than normal (especially on camera), but it's a very pretty spot nonetheless.

Easy Day Trips from Seattle: the Hoh Rainforest and Hall of Mosses
Seattle, home of the Space Needle, Starbucks, and so much more, is worth a trip to the Pacific Northwest alone – but not exploring further what Washington State has to offer while you're there would be a shame. This week, we're completing our look at a few options for a one-day or multi-day trip from the city.
Part 3: the Hoh Rainforest and Hall of Mosses (see here for part 1 and part 2)
If we had to give one reason for extending your stay on the Olympic Peninsula to a few days, it would be this: the Hoh River Valley, its temperate rainforest, and the Hall of Mosses trail.
Annual precipitation of up to 150 inches (380 cm) makes this one of the wettest places in the continental United States, and consequently almost unnaturally lush and beyond vividly green. Driving down the 101, about 8 miles south of Forks you will see the turnoff for the Hoh River Valley, which takes you 17 miles into the heart of the peninsula to the Hoh Visitor Center. Hiking trails range from easy walks (like the Hall of Mosses trail we'll come onto in a second) to multi-day treks.

Easy Day Trips from Seattle: Venturing into the Olympic Peninsula
Seattle, home of the Space Needle, Starbucks, and so much more, is worth a trip to the Pacific Northwest alone – but not exploring further what Washington State has to offer while you're there would be a shame. This week, we'll look at a few options for a one-day or multi-day trip from the city.
Part 2: the Olympic Peninsula (see here for part 1)
No matter where you are in Seattle – walking down the street and catching a glimpse as you turn a corner, or getting the full panorama from high up at the Space Needle – the water of Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula on the other side are never far from view.
Circled by the U.S. 101 before its journey south into Oregon and California, home to everything from beautiful beaches to temperate rainforests and both the westernmost (Cape Alava) and northwesternmost (Cape Flattery) points in the contiguous United States, taking the time to get up close and discover the peninsula further is something we're sure you won't regret.
We'll divide a look at your options in three parts: heading into the Olympic Peninsula from the east up to Port Angeles, exploring the Olympic National Park and its rainforests, and coming through the other end to the Pacific beaches. That's still just scratching the surface of course, so depending on how much time you have, there is always more to do and see.

The Most Romantic Flight Surprise We Can Think Of
Do yourself a favor this Valentine's Day and skip the expensive dinner, skip the diamond engagement ring. Instead, put airline tickets in the hands of your love, and give the gift of an experience. All this week, we'll be sharing a few of our own recommendations for some of the most romantic travel ideas in this world.
Idea #2: Seaplane flights for two
Please allow us to switch into the first-person for a moment, to describe the most romantic thing we did for ourselves in 2013 and which you, in 2014, should absolutely take under consideration.
There's something innately seductive about Vancouver. Perhaps it's all that fresh air, the surrounding mountains and sparkling harbour, and a summer season short enough to get the entire city out and about in their shortest shorts from July to September. For a frequent traveler like myself, however, the allure is heightened by the delicious tangibility of seaplane flights.
Vancouver is the home base for Harbour Air, the world's largest seaplane airline and also the only completely carbon neutral airline. Their DeHavilland Otters and Beavers buzz Vancouver's shoreline day-in and day-out, flying commuters and residents to Victoria, Nanaimo, Salt Spring Island and Whistler, but it's their extra special offerings you'll want to check out.

Where and When to Join the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl Victory Parade
Depending on whom you were pulling for last night, it was either one of the best Super Bowl games of all time—or one of the absolute worst. Either way it's now time to celebrate, and the city of Seattle is ready to welcome home their Seahawks. It's the very first championship for the organization, and only the second time a professional sports team will bring home a trophy to the city. Start working on your get out of work strategy, as this Wednesday is going to be the victory parade.
For those hoping to welcome the team home—you're out of luck—as it sounds like there will not be an organized welcome home out at SeaTac Airport. However, the official celebration is scheduled for February 5, as things are going to kickoff at 11am local time.
The plan has the parade beginning on Fourth Avenue—south of like Denny Way—then running along Fourth Avenue for a couple of miles. The parade route will lead the team to their home at CenturyLink Field where the party and parade will end around 1:30pm.

Seahawks Fans Score Special Alaska Airlines Service to the Super Bowl
For the last few weeks Alaska Airlines has been doing their best to help rescue Seattle Seahawks fans from around the country, as they've been flying them into town to join in on some of the game day activities. Along with Chief Football Officer—Russell Wilson—the airline is at again, and this time lucky winners just might be visiting New York and New Jersey in time for this year's big game.
Partnering with the team's quarterback they're calling the contest "Russell's 12th Fan Airlift," and they're randomly picking 56 lucky winners. Those lucky enough will score a pair of round-trip tickets on an Alaska Airlines flight over to Newark, New Jersey, as well as two nights accommodations during Super Bowl weekend. They'll throw in access to a party over in Manhattan on the day of the game, but there's one thing they just can't give away—no tickets to the Super Bowl are included in this contest. That's certainly a bummer, but we guess it's better than nothing.

Score a Free Uber Car to Seattle Airport, Thanks to Alaska Airlines
Good news if you're heading to the airport in the next couple of days, as Alaska Airlines might just help you get there. They're definitely in the holiday spirit with their latest promotion; however, you do need to call the Seattle area home to get in on the deal.
Alaska Airlines is teaming up with the ride-share folks over at Uber, and they're giving free rides to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The freebies are scheduled to run both today and tomorrow—December 23 and December 24—as travelers are welcome to a free one-way ride to the airport.

Make Your Way to Aviation Day at Seattle's Paine Field
Some 787s hanging out Paine Field
If you're looking to fill your quota of aviation avgeekiness, but can't swing the cost of round-the-world airfare anytime soon—we've got you covered. Paine Field Aviation Day is just around the corner, and plenty of airplanes will be on display for your viewing pleasure on Saturday, May 18 between 9am and 5pm.
The fun all takes place in Everett, Washington, which sits just outside of Seattle. It's better known as the home to Boeing and their primary final assembly lines, but Aviation Day is meant for aircraft both old and new to show off and take to the skies. Tickets for adults will set you back $10, but the little ones—under 17—can tag along for free.

What's the Deal with the Mummy Airplane at Seattle's Museum of Flight
This is the ghost of airplanes past. For real, though, this is a B-29 Bomber from World War II that's been literally kept under wraps for over a year, sitting between the parking lot of Seattle's Museum of Flight and the runways at Boeing Field.
Anyone who lives near a seasonal body of water (the Great Lakes, for example) has surely seen shrink-wrapped boats being transported or stored away for the winter. The same industrial wrap comes in handy for aircraft; just Google Image search "shrink-wrap airplane" to see shots like this, of bound-up Blackhawk helicopters on a barge.
But back to the Bomber.

Homevoters, Municipal Corporate Governance, and the Benefit View of the Property Tax
AbstractTiebout's "vote with your feet" model dispensed with political behavior in local government. The present article offers a political model borrowed from corporate finance. Local governments are viewed as municipal corporations whose shareholders are homeowners and whose collective property rights are protected by zoning. Homeowners are motivated to control local government because its services and taxes affect the value of their largest asset, their homes. The homevoter model implies that local property taxes are benefit taxes, that locally-funded schools are more efficient than state-funded systems, and that home-conscious "NIMBYs" forestall an environmentally destructive "race to the bottom" in taxbase competition.

We've been conspicuously low on the conference realignment talk around here; part of me wants to apologize for that, another part says, "You're welcome." Quite frankly, it's been an exhausting couple of days. The above link from Dr. Saturday is probably the most comprehensive survey of where things stand at the moment.

George Michael has admitted that he wasn't in the best shape to be driving at the time he was found passed out behind the wheel of his car last fall.
On the first day of his trial in London, the former Wham! singer pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while unfit through drugs, blaming a combination of "tiredness and prescribed drugs" for the events that led to his arrest last October.
"I did something very stupid," he told the court Tuesday, saying he was "very ashamed" of his behavior.
"I'm not used to defending myself in a position where I am ashamed of something."
Michael, 43, was discovered slumped over the wheel of his car on Oct. 1 by police responding to complaints about a vehicle blocking an intersection in North London. A small amount of marijuana was found in his possession.
Though Michael initially pleaded not guilty to the unfit driving charge in January, he has apparently since developed a different perspective on the incident.
"I am perfectly aware that I did something very wrong and got into my car when I was unfit to drive," Michael told the court Tuesday. "I was not in my normal physical state and I'm perfectly prepared to accept the correct punishment for that and I would have accepted it a long time ago."
The singer said he was unaware he had the legal option of accepting punishment without bringing the matter to court.
"If I had known the day after the charge was brought the legal option of accepting a punishment without taking responsibility for something I felt I was not guilty to, I could have saved everyone here a lot of time and trouble," he said.
A lesser charge of being in charge of a vehicle while unfit through drugs was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Michael's sentencing was delayed until May 30, pending the results of a blood sample taken at the time of his arrest and giving the court more time to consider his guilty plea.
The charge carries a maximum of six months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
If Michael is sent to jail, it could put a serious crimp in his upcoming tour plans. The singer is due to kick off a European tour in Denmark on May 18 and is scheduled to play the first gig in London's Wembley Stadium on June 9.

Mystery Florida conference reaches new chapter here
Date: August 4, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
The suspense is almost over.
"Mystery Florida, the Conference to Die For" will take place Friday, Aug. 13 — yes, Friday the 13th — and Saturday, Aug. 14, at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, 1000 Blvd. of the Arts.
This year marks a new chapter for the conference because for the first time film agents will be present, along with authors and literary agents plus crime-investigation specialists.
This year's presenters include Longboat Key novelist H. Terrell "Terry" Griffin, along with Colette Bancroft, Suzanne Beecher, Mark Billingham, Lisa Black, Don Bruns, Mary Jane Clark, Julie Compton, Michael Connelly, Marty Conroy, Tom Corcoran, Tim Dorsey, Riley Kathryn Ellis, James A. Forrest, David Gerson, David Hagberg, Erin Hennicke, Joseph Andrew Konrath, Maryglenn McCombs, Bob Morris, Sharon Potts, Susan Rife, Karen Rose, James Swain, Lisa Unger, Elaine Viets, James O. Wade and Noreen Wald, aka Nora Charles.
The event will kick off Friday morning with a discussion of agents, what they do and where to find one. Other presentations include "Trends in Publishing," "Writers Start Your Engines" and "Books to Movies."
A free "Mystery Mingle" from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, welcomes the public to meet authors and purchase books. The event will conclude with a "Patrons Dinner."
"Florida has produced some of the most widely-read authors of this genre and continues to incubate and attract writing talent. The conference has evolved to encompass the art, engineering and business of writing, but it also strives to contribute to Sarasota's rich cultural reputation and to promote it as a destination," said conference board member Demetra MacBride in a prepared statement.
Registration for both days of the conference is $200, which includes lunch on both days, or $275 with Patrons Dinner tickets included. Tickets for Saturday only are $125. The conference is limited to 100 people.
The event benefits Longboat Library and the Tingley Memorial Library, in Bradenton Beach. For information, including a complete schedule and registration, go to mysteryflorida.com or call Circle Books, 478 John Ringling Blvd., at 388-2850.

It is possible to find out if someone died in a house by consulting with the landlord or previous owner and by studying local historical records. There are also fee-based websites that provide information on deaths in homes when an address is entered.
Determining whether or not someone died in a home is not always an easy task as many previous homeowners choose not to disclose this type of information for fear of losing a sale. It is always a good idea for potential home buyers to go with their initial feelings as their sense of discomfort in the home has the potential to lead to an unhappy living arrangement down the road.
In addition to consulting with the landlord and previous owners, potential home buyers and homeowners can consult with the local police in order to learn more about past residents as well as seek advice from an intuitive psychic. While death is a natural process that everyone experiences, many individuals are uncomfortable with the thought of somebody passing away in their home, and superstitions can easily get the best of them. It is always best to conduct as much research as possible when it comes to learning about past deaths in the home.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis made his presence known on Sunday. In a fierce match-up versus the Packers at Lambeau, Davis hauled in three catches for just under 50 yards and a touchdown. Davis was a difficult match-up for the Packers, who often had Charles Woodson guarding him.
Fantasy Analysis: Davis was looked to a lot by Alex Smith -- their relationship has clearly carried over from seasons past. In the majority of weeks this season, Vernon Davis will find himself with a favorable match-up. He is one of the unique tight ends in the league that excels as a receiving target. Even in an offense that isn't known for scoring a lot of points, Davis is a must-start each week.
For more on Vernon Davis and the San Francisco 49ers, head over to Niners Nation and SB Nation Bay Area. For more fantasy info, visit SB Nation's Fantasy War Room 4-8pm Monday through Friday, and 8am to 1pm on Sunday. Also, be sure to check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football challenge, Pick 6!

Rams quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 331 yards and a touchdown to Danario Alexander, but that didn't offset several stalled St. Louis drives and a second quarter screen pass to Cadillac Williams, which was ruled a backward lateral that Giants linebacker Michael Boley returned 65 yards for a touchdown.

- one entry per SBNation username
- entries close one hour before the draft starts (submit by 5PM central on Thursday, June 5)
- no changes permitted once the Google form is submitted (some may wish to wait until closer to the entry deadline)
- entrant gets 1 point for each unique player on their list that the Astros draft, and the most points wins
- the tiebreaker, if needed, will defer to the entrant who best predicted the earliest real picks. If one nailed the first overall pick and the other didn't the one who got it right wins (for the purposes of this tiebreaker, to get the first pick "right" the actual first pick has to be entered as the first entry on the form). If two got the first pick right and a third tie-er didn't, then the wrong one drops out of the tie and we move on and evaluate the Astros actual second pick similarly to break the tie between the two survivors.
- the grand prize is that the winner may place "Champion, 2014 Predict the Astros' Draft Selections Contest" in their SBNation username signature
Here is the LINK TO THE GOOGLE FORM where the participants will enter their data. Again, making a list of the 41 players is strongly advised before attempting to fill out the form. Use any particular strategy you choose to (all pitchers, all collegians, whatever) - it need not resemble a realistic draft list.
Here are some useful links to help with assembling your list of 41 players. The MLB.com Top 100 draft prospects can be accessed here by clicking on the "100 DRAFT" tab near the top of the screen; scouting reports and video are available. The NCAA.org stats portal is also nice in that it provides stats and the players' collegiate class status: teams list here, leaderboards here. TheBaseballCube also provides most collegians' stats at the individual or team level.
Lastly, please click the green REC box that appears before the Comments if you'd like this FanPost to remain in the recommended FanPosts section throughout the draft and the week leading up to it.

Every night of the Stanley Cup playoffs, TSN hockey analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan breaks down each goalie's performance.
Jamie's number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark.
Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh (3) - It was a nightmare the last 10 minutes with three goals against in five minutes. The Anisemov goal was through the body short side, which is not great, but lost in the anxiety of the everyone watching was the big save on Calvert at 4-3 with a few minutes left. But he found a way to keep it on the rails and win a round. Not convincingly but he got the job done and it's one to build on.
Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus (2) - It was not a very good series. He was beaten all four times on the blocker side in Game 6. He could have been the difference in the series if he was at the top of his game.
Semyon Varlamov, Colorado (3) - The second goal was a tough 5-hole goal that he had a stick/pad malfunction. There was no chance on the other two deflected shots by Parise. Now it's on to Game 7.
Darcy Kuemper, Minnesota (4) - Poise comes to mind in watching his game with strong rebound control. He had no chance on the backdoor goal to Holden but made big saves on Parenteau, Stastny and O'Reilly in tight. This kid continues to impress.
Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles (5) - He was brilliant again. He should have gotten a 4, but facing three elimination games shows mental toughness beyond explanation, plus no chance on the goal against which was a double deflection. He made huge saves on Burns, Marleau and Thornton.
Alex Stalock, San Jose (2) - He wasn't a difference maker in the game. There was not much he could do on the goals against, especially the Williams goal, leaving you wondering who starts Game 7. I say Niemi. Stalock didn't convince me he should start.
