The Impact of Advanced Technology Adoption on Wage Structures: Evidence from Taiwan Manufacturing Firms
AbstractWe examine the impact of advanced technology adoption on wage and employment structures in Taiwan. Using a survey of manufacturing firms that provides direct information on the use of advanced technologies, we find that firms using more advanced technologies pay higher wages to both non-production and production workers and employ higher fractions of non-production workers. Controlling for the possible endogeneity of technology adoption suggests that the estimated impact of new technologies on wages is downward-biased and that the effect on production workers' wages may be minimal.

Contest for Andover's MP hots up
3:00pm Wednesday 11th June 2014 in News
THE battle to follow in the footsteps of Andover MP Sir George Young is hotting up – with more than 100 people bidding to be the next Conservative candidate.
The process of selecting a replacement for Sir George, who has represented North West Hampshire since 1997, got under way in earnest this week as the Tory nominations closed on Tuesday.
As previously reported by the Advertiser, among those who have been rumoured to be interested in what is considered to be a safe Conserv-ative seat – Sir George won with a majority of 18,583 at the 2010 election – is London Mayor Boris Johnson.
One man who has this week set out his stall to be the Tory candidate in next year's General Election, when Sir George will be standing down, is Amandeep Singh Bhogal. If he is successful in becoming the candidate, and wins the election, Mr Bhogal believes it would be a world first as he said he would be the first practising Sikh elected to a national parliament in any major country outside the Indian sub-continent.
North West Hampshire constituency chairman Rod Bowker told the Advertiser that more than 100 people have applied to be the Conservative candidate.
He said: "As you would expect, the quality of candidate application has been very high."
Other parties are about to select their candidates.
The Lib Dems, were in second place last time, and executive chairman Martin Baker, said: "The selection process is now under way but we are still accepting applications and no decisions have been made."
Labour's Alan Cotter said: "We are just about to start the process and are inviting applications – we hope to name the candidate by the end of July."

MLB Officially Announces Extensions With Fox, Turner; Deals Worth Total Of $6.8B
Published October 2, 2012
CHANGES TO WEEKEND SCHEDULE: MLB's regular-season weekend schedule also will see some changes. Fox will wind up with two national windows for its Saturday games: one at 4:00pm ET and one at 7:00pm. One of those windows will be available to an undetermined cable channel, which is expected to be an all-sports channel (Fox Sports One) rebranded from Speed. The number of Turner's Sunday afternoon games will be reduced from 26 to 13. The nets will not have to black out national games in local markets any more. As part of this deal, blackouts will be lifted on Fox game broadcasts. Fox' Saturday windows were previously blacked out for MLB Extra Innings and MLB.tv viewers. Those games will be available for out-of-market viewers beginning in '14.
TV EVERYWHERE RIGHTS: All the network partners also will pick up "TV Everywhere" rights, which allows them to stream their games to their websites. Turner picked up more online highlight rights, which it will use for Bleacher Report and its Team Stream app. Turner also picked up interactive TV rights.

Picked up in a supermarket in Florence on my recent trip through Europe. Notes taken from that time...
Pours opaque black with a pretty mocha head.
Smells of coffee and dark chocolate, slight herbal note. Not too complex but very nice.
Taste has coffee, herbal hops, touch of anise, some dark chocolate, and a very bitter finish. Not quite as nice as the aroma suggested, but still tasty.
Carbonation a little high, but not bad.
This is a solid, tasty stout. The intensely bitter finish was different, though detracted slightly from the overall experience.

Betting on NFL Football?
By now, you may have noticed that people like to bet on the NFL. A 1999 report by the National Gambling Impact Study Commission estimated that sports betting across America did nearly $400 billion of business annually – and that was back when people were still using 56k modems. More recent estimates suggest that up to $100 billion is generated every year just by people who bet on the NFL online.
You may already be one of these people, or you're thinking about joining in. Either way, betting on the NFL can be both fun and profitable – as long as you choose the right sportsbook first. These are the people you'll be dealing with when you take your NFL betting online. Every bet is a financial transaction, so your sportsbook should be held to the same standards as any other reputable financial institution.
Shop Smart
As with most things in life, size matters. Your ideal sportsbook will have a large and happy customer base; if other people are satisfied with the product, you will probably feel the same way. High cashflow also helps to keep a sportsbook on sound financial footing. Smaller start-up books, like any other businesses, are naturally more prone to risk.
This is why we recommend Bodog and Bovada for people who are truly interested in betting on the NFL. Bodog is the top brand in the business, serving customers around the world for nearly 20 years. Bovada is a newer domain that was created for American customers only; the same NFL odds and betting interface are available at both locations.
Thanks to the internet, it's a lot easier these days to make educated consumer choices. A quick search for sportsbook reviews will give you all the information you need to know about a book's financial standing, its level of customer service and the quality of its software. Bodog and Bovada earned the high score of 96% at MyTopSportsbooks, while Sportsbook Review awarded an overall "A" grade with an emphasis on financial stability.
Don't forget about those bonuses, by the way. It's industry-standard for a sportsbook to offer new customers an incentive to join – perhaps some free NFL betting, for instance. Make sure to visit either the Bodog or Bovada website, depending on which country you live in, and see what bonuses are on offer.
Know the Betting Odds
Once you've done the research and you've signed up with a quality sportsbook, the next thing to do is figure out how to place a bet. There are many different ways you can bet on the NFL, but the simplest and by far most popular way is to bet against the spread. Let's take a look at the betting line for Superbowl XLVII:
Baltimore Ravens +4.5
San Francisco 49ers -4.5
The 49ers were the designated home team at the Louisiana Superdome, so they're listed at the bottom. They were also considered the favorites going into the Super Bowl; the number next to their name shows the point spread, which had San Francisco favored by 4.5 points.
So what does that mean? For a bet on the Niners to pay out, they'd have to beat the Ravens by more than 4.5 points. Meanwhile, a bet on the Ravens would pay out as long as they didn't lose by more than 4.5 points – and they didn't. Final score: Baltimore 34, San Francisco 31.
Understand the Game
The beauty of the point spread is that it makes it easy for bettors to figure out how much they're risking and how much they can win. In a typical spread situation, no matter which team you prefer, you'll be risking $11 for every $10 you win. The $1 difference is known as vigorish or juice. This is the commission the sportsbook earns for handling your bet, just as a broker gets a fee for handling an investment purchase.
The point spread also helps the sportsbook keep the incoming wagers balanced between the two teams in question. It's a common mistake for newcomers to think that the aim in sports betting is to "beat the book." In reality, when you bet on the NFL, you're competing against and alongside everybody else who places a wager on that game. The sportsbook pays out the winners with the money it collects from the losers – provided the point spread is accurate.
The book will often move the spread back and forth up until kick-off in order to achieve this important balance and minimize financial exposure. You can take advantage of this if you place your bets at exactly the right time, just like the professional handicappers do. There's no shortage of online resources to teach you how to make NFL picks like a pro. Most people don't bother, even the ones who really know their football, so the more you learn, the more of their money you could win.
With hundreds of NFL Betting Sportsbooks available, it's easy to become confused and intimidated. Many appear enticing at first glace so our expert reviewers examine their histories, odds, and options very closely before making a recommendation.
Here are some sportsbooks that appear to be reputable and competitive, but failed to pass our rigorous examination for real-money NFL Betting:
|Our Verdict
|20% up to $100
There is a long history of gambling sites that associated themselves with Futurebet eventually scamming players. USASportsbook.com is one such site and we have to recommend avoiding them.
|100% up to $500

A more satisfying loss would be hard to find.
Vacaville High School's boys basketball season came to an end on Wednesday night, but the 57-53 defeat at St. Mary's of Stockton did anything but leave a sour taste in the Bulldogs' mouths.
The No. 14 seeded Bulldogs gave the No. 3 Rams all they could handle in their Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoff opener.
"We were lights out ... it was our best game of the year," Vacaville head coach Duane Kamman said. "We knew if we held them in the 50s we had a chance, and we almost did it. I think we kind of put ourselves on the map with the way we played."
St. Mary's improved to 27-1 with its 20th straight victory and advanced to Friday's quarterfinals. Vacaville's season ended at 17-11.
Vacaville actually led 23-17 late in the third period, but St. Mary's pulled to within 25-23 by halftime.
The Rams took the lead by scoring 22 points in the third period. Alex Smith quarterbacked the charge with 10 of his 13 points, almost double his season average.
Gabriel Vincent led the Rams with 20 points, but that was two points below his season average. The senior is bound for UC Santa Barbara.
"I thought RJ Louis did a really good job on him defensively," Kamman said. "The whole team played great, but that other guy kind of got away from us. He got hot."
Louis added six of his nine points on free throws in the fourth period as Vacaville stayed close.
Chance Pippin led the Bulldogs with 12 points. Jake Perlstein added 10, Chad Hekking eight and Sam Gabbard seven.
"It was team ball," Kamman said. "I was really proud of our guys."

There were almost 3,000 traffic stops and just over 100 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The department's electronic approach, Carriere said, is akin to that of former Boston, New York and Los Angeles police commissioner Bill Bratton, but adapted to the needs of a smaller city where crimes are more random. Champagne dubs the program "Safe City."
Crime analysts work to place officers where they will be needed, Carriere said, and individual officers are expected to be alert to patterns. Recently, a series of relatively minor calls warned police of the presence of a motorcycle gang on Walnut Street.
"The calls led us to find out there was a bigger problem," Carriere said. The gang has since departed, he said.
The number of cars stolen from the Northshore Mall was reduced to just one — "an unheard of number," Carriere said.
If things sound better, the report also offers a sobering chart showing an assault every 36 hours, a robbery every 30 days, a burglary every two days, a theft every eight hours, a car stolen every seven days, vandalism every day, a crime every three hours and two arrests every 24 hours.
The report is detailed enough to compare the hours and the days that crimes occur — drivers are most often cited or arrested on Saturdays and Sundays — and compares the rate of crime in cities around the state and nation. Comparably sized Revere is doing worse than Peabody, 1,527 total crimes verses 1,475, but Plymouth is doing better with 984.
A chart shows where the most accidents happened in the past year. Beware Main and Washington streets in the downtown, with 19 accidents, and Goodale and Lowell streets, with 18. Pedestrians, meanwhile, fared worst on Route 114, getting involved in five accidents, as well as Lynnfield and Main, with four each.
Champagne notes that the department was reaccredited last July.
The department has 100 officers, 10 reserve police officers and 25 civilian employees. A citizen survey taken by the department includes even arrestees who speak favorably of their treatment, Carriere said. It rates police performance at 92 percent.

An unfair 'shot' at Hopewell Twinning Association
To the Editor:
On July 6, 2013 one of the letters to the editor took a shot at the Hopewell Twinning Association. It was really "off base" in my opinion.
Organizations such as the Hopewell Twinning Association and the Historic Hopewell Foundation Inc. do a lot for community pride and community spirit. We need more organizations like these in all our communities. They interpret history as it was. That doesn't mean they support all of the practices that took place in the past.
I serve as a volunteer interpreter at Weston Plantation in Hopewell. I work hard on my interpretation to insure that it includes the complete story whether it concerns the white ownership, the black slaves or the Powhatan's that originally owned the property. The attached poem speaks partially to my interpretation.
The powerful and peaceful Powhatans
Lived in their evergreen nation
For thousands of glorious years
Praising God in wondrous expectation.
From the graceful, long, twisting Potomac
To the warm, sandy Eastern Shore,
They traveled, farmed, hunted and fished
For the food God always kept in his stores.
James Stuart Emery
Colonial Heights

When I was home this weekend, I visited my favorite store, of course! I went on Monday morning to look at all the springy clothes! I lusted over the Lilly skorts and Vineyard Vines dresses. The owner, whom I absolutely adore, told me they were getting a new shipment of clothes that afternoon. She assured me she would call the minute it arrived. Thankfully, three hours before I had to leave for the airport I got the call.
Just Madras has incredible collections of everything, you guessed it, MADRAS! They have everything from table clothes to coffee mugs to clothes. The website itself if a Prepster's dream!
I'm also a huge fan of the pennants. I love nautical flags. (I'll post pictures of my Lilly flags later!) The pennants are the cutest things. Oh, and for you tennis players. The racket covers are fantastic. You will definitely stand out on the courts carrying it!
I also tried on one of the dresses. It was remarkably comfortable. Sometimes madras is too stiff, but this dress fell very nicely. Due to the weather up here in DC, I knew I couldn't buy it... yet.
Right now, it's raining outside and I'm really looking forward to the spring.

Pete Wilson
Hello, I'm an eBook!
ATTENTION: This item is an eBook. It can be read on iOS, Android, MAC and PC's with a supported eReader. It is not a physical book. eBooks are available via download immediately after you've checked out.
This item will be downloaded electronically after checkout.
Learn how God often does His best work in our most hopeless situations.
What do you do with a shattered dream? Or an unmet expectation? What do you do when your life isn't turning out the way you thought it would? What do you do when you have to turn to Plan B?
In Plan B pastor and author Pete Wilson uses real life stories of disappointments and hurts along with the biblical stories of men and women like David, Joseph, and Ruth to help readers come to grips with the truth that they will face situations that in themselves they are completely unable to handle but that in them God is simply trying to get them to surrender their plans so that they can receive His. He identifies our common responses to difficulties and offers hope, helping us to
Wilson points readers to the cross as not just the starting line but the centerpiece of our story with God and shares that it is there we turn in our Plan B and find the undeniable relationship between crisis and our hope followed by true spiritual transformation. "God wants to live inside the questions" says Wilson and then reminds us that "the cross is proof that He does not always change the circumstance but that He always has a purpose in every circumstance. He will never let go of us. He will hold us and His cross will be an anchor for us."
Praise for Plan B
"What do you do when you wake up with shattered dreams and unmet expectations? Pete Wilson's book, Plan B, offers honest encouragement and spiritual insights when life doesn't go as planned."
-Craig Groeschel, senior pastor, LifeChurch.tv, and author of The Christian Atheist
"If your life is going according to plan, if your pain level is low and your ease meter is high, you probably don't need this book. But for the rest of us, I am glad it's around."
-John Ortberg, pastor and author, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church
"Pete Wilson is a fresh voice for all today who wonder if they've missed God's best life and are relegated to gathering dust. He provides honest hope, a sound biblical base, and real answers. What also touched me as a reader was his warmth and authenticity. A great read for us all."
-Dr. John Townsend, author of Boundaries, psychologist, and business coach
"No matter what you're going through, Plan B will help you get through it. Plan B is a down-to-earth book written by a down-to-earth pastor. Authentic hope is only a book away!"
-Mark Batterson, senior pastor, National Community Church, and author of Primal
"Pete Wilson is a young, dynamic leader with a growing church and a heart to see people reach out and find Christ in the midst of any and every circumstance. His sincerity and desire to disarm some of life's difficult twists and turns with godly perspective will help anyone struggling with life's realities and Plan B."
-Brian Houston, senior pastor, Hillsong Church
"Hope is packaged and sold in many different ways in our society, often wrapped with false promises and an unrealistic view of life. This is why Plan B is such an important book. Pete deals openly and honestly with the disappointments we experience, pointing us to a hope that endures, sustains, and overcomes.
We all know people who have walked away from God because of Plan B experiences, not realizing that these are the moments God uses the most. Pete shows us that we don't have to deny the reality of what we face. We simply need to embrace the reality of a God who loves us and who is greater than our greatest disappointments. After all, His Plan B for our lives is

In a book remarkably free of technical or social science jargon, Max J. Skidmore demonstrates exactly why Social Security is not in danger of going bankrupt and proposes a series of incremental adjustments that will allow the system to support future generations even better. Social Security and Its Enemies shows that far from being a system on the verge of collapse, Social Security in fact does exactly what it was created to do keep America's aged (and disabled, orphaned, and many of her infirm) out of poverty without prejudice and with universal access.

Is this like right at the start of the talus when approaching from the north shore?
It's about mid-way up talus past Group Leader, but more to the south.
Ok, because if I remember right, there's a similar boulder to this one, but I think that you pass it when you're walking down to hill to meet up with the tumbled rocks trail from the north shore.

Kurt Cobain died on April 5, 1994 — seventeen years ago yesterday — and his passing still affects many music fans to this day. One such fan happens to be 30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto, who thought of no better way to honor the singer's legacy than uploading a video of himself dressing up like Cobain while performing some Nirvana songs. Really.
Writes Jared on 30 Seconds To Mars' YouTube page:
I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I'd be doing this if it weren't for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I'd share it now…
- Jared Leto
Showing respect and admiration for one of your idols? Touching. Sharing with the world a video of you dressed up as him like you're wearing a Halloween costume? Kind of creepy, dude.

South Florida Collections Management Center
The South Florida Collections Management Center (SFCMC) manages the museum collections for Big Cypress National Preserve, Biscayne National Park, De Soto National Memorial, Dry Tortugas National Park, and Everglades National Park. Combined, the museum collections from these five parks comprise over 6 million objects, archival documents, and specimens.
The SFCMC is the central museum service provider for these five south Florida NPS units, functioning as an integral part of each park's operations and programs. It provides high-quality, professional museum collection management services, ensuring preservation and accessibility in the most responsive, efficient and cost-effective manner.
The mission of the South Florida Collections Management Center is:
The SFCMC staff coordinates cataloging and preservation of specimens and data collected under research permits in the south Florida parks. All specimens collected inside the parks are the property of the US Government and become part of the museum collection. All collectors have curatorial responsibilities for the specimens and data collected.
Finding aids are available for selected collections in the museum archives. Cataloging of the collections is still in progress.
Museum collections are available to legitimate researchers for study, per the museum access and use policy. Researchers interested in learning more about the SFCMC collections should e-mail the Museum Curator or telephone 305-242-7826.
Did You Know?
The Everglades served as the backdrop for much of the military action during the Seminole Wars. The Seminole and Miccosukee people sought refuge within the isolated and relatively unknown expanse of land and water.

Why Financial Inclusion Is Key To Ethiopia's Fight Against Hunger
For small farmers in Ethiopia, access to credit, insurance and even something as simple as a bank account could bring big dividends. They could invest more in their land and protect themselves better against shocks. This sort of 'financial inclusion' was top of mind this week as high level representatives of WFP, FAO and IFAD traveled to southern Ethiopia with Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Maxima is the UN Secretary General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development.

Just when everyone thought singer Justin Bieber's love life was back on track, his fans have shown that they are not pleased with it.
The reaction of his fans came after Bieber was seen snuggling girlfriend Selena Gomez at an airport.
The couple had rekindled their romance post a short breakup, reports radaronline.com.
Gomez was sitting in Bieber's lap and the two were engaged in deep conversation and looked very much in love.
After this, a fan started writing on Twitter: "I am disgusted".
A fan known as Strongforjieber wrote: "Go back to your own friends and family. Let Justin breath and get your tongue from down his throat @selenagomez."
Gomez had broken up with Bieber after he was seen flirting with models at Victoria Secrets event.
The couple eventually got back together again. But fans have questioned Bieber's dignity.
"Oh wow. that's obviously how he thanks her for humiliating him in public. do you have a bit of dignity left?" CatchThatBieber tweeted.
"Your relationship is faker than Joan Rivers face @justinbieber @selenagomez" Michelle wrote.

It's no surprise that there is a plethora of Transformers fans in the world today. As the first generation that grew up on the cartoon matures and venture out into the world and become professionals, some of those fans become Senior Creative Managers of Corvette and Camaro Accessories and Specialty Builds. Adam Barry is that man. Being a long time fan and youth of the Transformers/Decepticon struggle he laid mum, quietly aging leaving behind his boyhood admiration for the mating of machine and might, until the first Transformers movie was brought up and the Camaro was suggested for use in the film. Barry jumped at the opportunity, and it seems he was the chosen one.
Faces of GM interviewed Adam, which is a blog run by GM solely to showcase the people behind the scenes of the company. Think of it as sort of a "Meet the Press" for GM. They do stories on the people that make GM, GM. Barry admits that he still has some of his boyhood Autobot action figures, and goes into detail about the intricacies of the package. The following article and video are from the Faces of GM website.
You don't have to speak Cybertronian to understand what's so rad about the latest special edition Transformers package for the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro.
When this car shows up in your review mirror, you'll definitely do a double take, and then some! Bold yellow paint with pumped up black stripes, a high-wing rear spoiler and black-on-black wheels… this car looks like Bumblebee, straight from the set of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It's enough to make Sam Witwicky's heart beat fast.
"It's so cool to see little five-year olds standing in front of the car saying, 'Wake up, wake up.' And, I'll ask them, 'Who do you want to wake up?' And, they'll say 'Bumblebee,'" says Adam Barry, Senior Creative Manager, Corvette and Camaro, Accessories and Specialty Builds.
A self-described "Transformers geek" who still has his Autobot action figures, Barry says that when he found out about the project, he jumped all over it. "There's no question that this specialty package was designed by someone who loves, Transformers," says Barry.
It's the little details — like Cybertronian symbols spelling "Transformers" on the spoiler, Autobot logos on the wheel caps and front quarter panel and an awesome interior with black leather seats and bright yellow stitching — that give this Chevrolet extra attitude.
"When you see this car," says Barry, "you're not going to think it's a car, you're going to think it is Bumblebee… and you're going to be looking around for the other Autobots. How cool is that?" Plus, if any Decepticons show up, you'll be able to handle them.
You can order the Transformers Specialty package now. It's due in dealerships in September.

Welsh castle day
After a yummy breakfast (omelet for me, poached eggs for dad, haddock for Claire and cereal for Graham), we headed off for a day of exploring the 13th century castles of Henry I. Graham's quote regarding the castles, "now THIS is what I've been talking about." We counted hundreds and hundreds of steps climbing every tower. Despite rainy weather, it was a super fun ...
Leisurely morning and a good bit of driving to end up on the northern coast of Wales. We chilled at the hotel a bit while the kids got a swim. Then Italian pizza and pasta for dinner followed by some ice cream as we walked around this sleepy old town. Great views of the Irish Sea out the hotel ...
From castles to crags...loving Wales
... roses, hydrangeas and so many other flowers blooming now, in a high wooded setting with a stream. Dan met a gregarious and funny older couple from Manchester, and we had fun talking with them by a big lily pond for almost half an hour.
Northern Wales has some great mountains, popular for hiking, and we drove around part of Snowdonia, the national park they are in, for the afternoon. Dan and I found a hike that climbed up to great ...
It was a bit misty up there
Thurs 19/6/14
What lovely scenery in Wales, the place is so green, we decided to go to Snowdonia, it was a bit to far to walk up to the top so we took the train, which took 1hr to get to the top we had a real quick 1/2 hr there then we had to catch the train back down - another 1hr. It was quite misty up there but we managed to get some photos unfortunatly we couldn't see the coast at all.
The End is Near
... we were the only team so automatically won! They said they might end up asking us questions after all but it never happened so started asking each other random trivia facts. For staying so long at the pub and waiting for the quiz that was never going to happen we got free sandwiches. Also, randomly, that day I helped Jacob make banana bread with a nice swirl of chocolate. Was delicious.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Chandler Harnish finished with 162 yards passing and the winning touchdown throw in the fourth quarter, as the Indianapolis Colts topped the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-16, in the exhibition finale for both teams.
Harnish completed 9-of-16 passes, while Drew Stanton went 3-for-3 for 43 yards in brief action for the Colts, who open up the 2012 season at Chicago on Sept. 9.
Deji Karim and Darren Evans added rushing scores, while Dominique Jones hauled in the game-deciding catch, a 42-yard score.
Bruce Gradkowski was 12-of-19 for 95 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals, who are in Baltimore to begin the year 10 days from now.
He subbed admirably for starter Andy Dalton, who suffered a bruised arm on the first Cincy series. Dalton completed 3-of-4 attempts for 26 yards before departing.
Zac Robinson added 140 yards on 16-of-22 completions, while Mohamed Sanu led all receivers with eight catches for 80 yards.
Mike Nugent connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, the final one a 22-yard make, which put the Bengals up 16-13 heading into the fourth.
But Harnish connected with Jones on Indy's second possession of the final quarter. Despite a missed two-point conversion, the Colts held on to win thanks to a fumble recovery and forcing a Robinson incompletion on 4th-and-11 inside the two-minute warning.

Come party with us in the battle of the year! Thursday night of SDCC!
All Is Lost
I'm messed, she's fed up, can't find the time to make the bed up,
She's taking shots, I vest up, I'm bleeding out pass the ketchup,
In a box everybody gets dressed up, I'm losing breath gotta catch up
Who's next up, can't fathom that, gotta beat this down like a battle axe,
In the aftermath, I see ashes, flames go up when she crashes,
Hold her up, but she's gone, so I put the rest in this song,
My only, my one, you were right and I'm wrong,
Exhausted, my caution to wind and I'm so lost,
You are the ghost inside my head,
You're in my dreams you're in my bed,
I hear you calling, I feel like falling again,
Did I move too fast, did I not compare to the last one,
Matty told me the inside dirt, should of done that first, should of asked 'em,
But, now I'm floatin' just hopin', i'm out here, lost out on the ocean,
Got the top off, so soft, anxiety hits like a nerd with the lotion,
Pull the sails, raise, the tide, release the kraken, master mind,
Call the shots, ready or not, raise the stakes, put it all on the line,
6 sec to kill, shot it on vine, feel so chill, got infinity time,
Good luck with the fish, you ain't got shit,
No, you'll never find better than mine,
Hold it, hold up, come fill the rest of my cup,
This cut sewn up, don't hurt so bad, she act tough,
Must of not been enough to infect my love like a drug,
She pill poplin'. its hard stopping this train is fast on the run,
What ya make 'em say, say what, sorry, no way,
This distance, my hit list, I'm crossing you off, okay,
So rock that body, toss a molly, twerk it out and call it Miley,
I hope you finally, find a calling, leave me out, sick, I'm sorry,
I know you're gone, and I'm here alone,
and I hope you know that I need you so.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Porsha Williams recently turned herself in to police and was booked on a misdemeanor battery charge after a warrant was issued for her arrest over a scuffle with co-star Kenya Moore.
The 31-year-old sports bright makeup and a slight smile in her mug shot, which was obtained by OTRC.com. Williams, who lives near Atlanta, turned herself into the Fulton County Sheriff's office on Wednesday. She was released after posting a $2,000 bond, records show.
She had gotten into a physical confrontation with Moore during a taping of the reunion show for season 6 of their Bravo reality show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" in late March. A warrant for her arrest was then issued. The three-part show airs on Sunday, April 20.
"Cast member Kenya Moore sought out the warrant and, although the claim is unfounded, Ms. Williams is fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to clearing her name," Williams' spokesperson said in a statement posted by E! Online.
Williams used to be married to Kordell Stewart and reverted to her maiden name after their December divorce. Moore had taunted her about the split, on the show.

Defendents seek dismissal of Patrick Turner's $225M Westport suit
Swath of waterfront land in South Baltimore remains undeveloped
- Jack Lambert
- Digital Producer- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The defendants in developer Patrick Turner's $225 million lawsuit over the planned 43-acre Westport Waterfront development are asking a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge to throw out the case.
Richard Burton, Dale Dowers, Michael Borden and Warhorse-Baltimore Real Estate LLC filed a motion in Baltimore on April 8 to dismiss Turner's lawsuit. The defendants allege they were not a part of the non-disclosure agreement Westport Partners LLC and Turner signed with Vision Capital Partners LLC, a Salt Lake City Capital firm, over the confidential details of the project.
Turner alleges in a Feb. 20 lawsuit that Las Vegas developers Burton, Borden and Dowers conspired with Vision Capital Partners to wrest away from him control of his proposed $1.4 billion Westport project along the Middle Branch in South Baltimore. Vision Capital Partners supplied confidential information to Burton, Borden and Dowers, according to Turner's filing. The developers then formed Warhorse-Baltimore Real Estate to buy back a $30 million loan Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. originally made to Turner's holdings company, Inner Harbor West LLC, according to Turner's complaint.
Turner could not be reached for comment about the latest filing.
Inner Harbor West filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Feb. 19 after Citigroup sought to foreclose on the project, alleging $31.8 million in unpaid loans and debts.
Burton, Borden and Dowers characterize Turner's complaints as "gripes" and say any purchase of the loan from Citigroup for $7.5 million are not relevant to Inner Harbor West's bankruptcy case.
"It is irrelevant to anyone other than the non-Debtor plaintiffs or the defendants whether the loan documents from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. were purchased at as discount by the non-debtor plaintiffs or by the defendants," according to the motion to dismiss.

Fields of Vision artists announced
2:35pm Sunday 4th May 2014 in News
Names of the artists who will be creating giant, unmissable works of landscape artwork in and around the the Worth Valley have now been revealed.
All the artists will be contributing to Fields of Vision, one of the main commissions for Yorkshire Festival 2014 – the cultural festival now taking place to celebrate this summer's Tour de France.
Fields of Vision is a 65-mile-long land art trail, which originated in an idea put forward by the Worth Valley Young Farmers group.
Rural regeneration company Pennine Prospects, which is co-ordinating the initiative, has released the full list of participating artists and sites.
The first artwork, created by Simon Manfield in Stanbury, has already been completed. This features a huge outline drawing of a shepherd beckoning to a sheepdog.
The other local sites and artists are Trudi Entwistle (Stanbury Reser-voir), Louise Lockhart (Oxenhope), Steve Messam (Stanbury) and Raz ul Haq (Worth Valley).
The trail will be finished by June 5.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)

Topics: Celebrity, Entertainment News
Is Mike Tyson losing it again?
Scotland's Daily Record reports that the feisty fighter came to fisticuffs over $600,000 worth of jewelry with the man who's promoting his upcoming U.K. fight.
According to the paper, Tyson exploded when he discovered that promoter Frank Warren had no intention of footing the bill for the extravagant gold and diamond baubles the problem-plagued pugilist acquired on his last trip to London, and that he himself would be responsible for the bill.
"We thought Tyson was going to kill him," a witness to the scuffle, which reportedly took place on Saturday night on the seventh floor of a London hotel, told the tabloid. "He flew into some rage and it was one hell of a sight … Tyson threatened to put him through a window."
After security broke up the fight, "Warren looked in a very bad way," said the witness. "It didn't seem as though there was any doubt he was injured."
Tyson, however, denied ever hitting or threatening the defenestration of his promoter in a press conference. "There is a big line ahead of him," he explained. And Warren has dismissed the rumble rumors as "total rubbish."
Furthermore, when asked by another reporter if the two had a "crackup," the boxer responded, "I don't sell crack."
And he'll throw anyone out the window who says he does …

"I'd kill to be arrested. Any publicity helps."

Survive this
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of discontentment and friction …
"Gilligan's Island" mastermind Sherwood Schwartz has told the New York Post he's in talks with ABC about creating a two-hour TV movie based on his book, "Inside Gilligan's Island."
Among the island secrets Schwartz plans to reveal: Tina Louise, who played Ginger, hated her dumb image, and Jerry Van Dyke was up for the role of Gilligan, which went to Bob Denver.
Really, unless Schwartz is prepared to spill a little more castaway dirt than that (was, for instance, Mrs. Howell sneaking into the Skipper's hammock at night for a little tropical nookie? Inquiring minds want to know!), I think I'll pass on climbing aboard this three-hour tour.

Juicy bits
Things could get real crowded, real soon at the home of Kate Winslet and her husband, director Jim Threapleton. Not only are the couple expecting their first child in September, it seems they could be joined any minute by a rabid stalker. The "Titanic" star has reportedly been e-mailed a series of death threats via the unofficial Kate Winslet Fan Club site from a stalker who said she wanted to visit the couple's new home and kill the actress. All together now, in your best Leo voices: "Rose!"
How is Posh Spice not like Monica Lewinsky? Well, for one thing, she and her husband, David Beckham, are decidedly not thrilled at the prospect of being the subject of an Andrew Morton biography. The celebrity couple has threatened to take out an injunction against the man who penned "Monica's Story" and "Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words" if he doesn't back off plans to document their lives and expose "the truth behind the headlines."
Forget Ramona and Rudy. If the network suits ever conspired to bring us a celebrity version of "Survivor," TV watchers are certain Kathie Lee Gifford would be the first to go. According to a recent telephone survey commissioned by TV Guide, 44 percent of the people polled think Cody's mom would be the first to go. And the most likely to be the last celeb standing? The Rock. So that's why they call him the people's champion.
Product-peddling sports stars like Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Johnson aren't the only scabs incurring the wrath of the striking members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Members of the glam unions are also lashing out at Ford Motor Co., which reportedly dealt with a dearth of non-union African-American stunt drivers for a recent Lincoln Mercury commercial shoot by hiring a white driver and painting his face black. After strike committee chairman Todd Amorde labeled the ad a "minstrel show," the car company expressed regret. But, quips one striker, "Ford has more than egg on its face now." Ba-dum-bum … They'll be here all week, folks.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on Twitter and all it took for him to join the social media platform was a victory in the Daytona 500.
Fresh off his second triumph in NASCAR's biggest race, Earnhardt sent out his first tweet at 2:32 a.m. ET. It was a selfie of him standing in Victory Lane alongside the trophy awarded to the Daytona 500 champion.
"Tonight seemed like as good a night as any to join Twitter," he tweeted. "How is everyone doin?"
That Earnhardt joined Twitter isn't much of a surprise. He joked prior to the Daytona 500 that he would begin tweeting if he won the Great American Race. The account had already been established, and had more than 230,000 followers without Earnhardt ever sending one tweet. And following his win late Sunday night, he was asked during his post-race press conference if he would fulfill his promise. "I got to get my password," Earnhardt said jokingly.
Not too long afterward Earnhardt did just that and sent the tweet heard around the world.

From the article: Shurland Hotel Poltergeist
In this video recorded by a closed circuit TV camera at the Shurland Hotel in Eastchurch, U.K. seems to show a pint of beer getting knocked from a table. Or does it just slide off? The hotel staff has reported other instances of paranormal activity at the hotel. What do you think? Give your opinion
Right, but wrong
- I actually put this vid online, and was present when it happened. There are no pressure changes in the bar, as our air con and door system is designed that it is free-flowing, so no doors open, close or slam shut (this is so we customers don't disturb our 40 hotel residents). I admit, condensation may have been an issue, but can also assure you that no one nudged the table. There is no secrecy, this is the angle the camera is set at permanently. Physical factors may have played a role in this, I admit, but there's a shed load more goes on there that freaked me out when I worked there! Just a note from an old employee!
- —Guest Former Shurland Staff
no one
- It looks like it was pushed off the table. If it were just condensation it would have fallen straightaway when it got to the edge of the table instead of swinging away from the table.
- —Guest no one
Not sure
- He just sat there though? Why did the girl have to pick up the glass that was right next to him? Ghost or not?!
- —Guest mzfilo55
shurland hotel
- The glass falls as the person to the right pulls out the chair. Since you cannot see the rest of the table....inconclusive but think the moved chair may be the factor...
- —Guest michael
glass slid
- The glass was already on the edge of the table and since condensation built up at the bottom, it made it easier for it to slide, which is what happened when pressure changed in the room.
- —Guest dicknigger
Jumping to conclusions
- Jumping to conclusions is the only exercise many of us get - me included. All we know is that the glass right at the edge of the table fell. We can't see most of the table, to know if something bumped it slightly. Or someone walking nearby caused slight vibration. Or if the table is really level. Or if a door opened causing a pressure wave. Or..... Just because we don't know why it happened does NOT mean it was paranormal. I guess it must be true that Apollo pulls the sun across the sky on his chariot, because "I can't think of anything else that could cause it."
- —gewisn
Dead On
- I think you are right about it being simple condensation. I have worked at restaurants and you don't know how many times people think a "ghost" has moved a glass and I have to explain about condensation. I do think ghosts exist, but in this case, no, physics is at work here.
- —Guest Paraport
- When a glass full of liquid which is colder than the air around it sits for a while, it starts to condensate. In certain glasses, the bottoms are curved; like an upside-down cup. Think of the bottom of a soda can - same thing. Anyway, after awhile, if enough moisture builds up under there, it can actually propel the glass/can and cause it to slide. I've seen it happen several times in my life. The first time, I too thought it was a ghost.
- —Guest Visara

"Dear Steve,
I'm $20,000 in debt, trying to modify home loan, income shrinking, savings gone
How do I negotiate with credit card companies to lower balance, stop charging interest?
Don't miss our free Get Out of Debt – "How To" Guide Series on a number of topics, for loads of practical advice, tips, and help to beat back debt. – Click Here
The Answer
Dear Mark,
The first step is to call your credit card companies and see what they will offer you. If that gets you nowhere then I suggest you turn to professional help.
If you want to lower your balances you have two options, either bankruptcy or debt settlement. But debt settlement may not help you with the home loan modification. If sounds like you need everything modified based on your current situation and income. In that case, call a local bankruptcy attorney and get a free bankruptcy consultation.

South Texas squabble
February 20, 2010 6:31 PM
I normally don't do pregame blogs, but it's worth an exception in this instance.
In the rare Saturday matinee, Laredo worked over Rio Grande Valley. That shouldn't surprise anyone, as hell hath no fury like a Rosco whipped. After Friday's embarrassment in Corpus, you had to know the Bucks would take it to the Bees, regardless of whether the game was on the moon or at 3 in the morning.
The intrepid Brian Sandalow, however, unearthed the real story from the game, the white-hot feud between enforcers Brett Clouthier of Rio and Robin Richards of Laredo.
I urge you to read Sandalow's story. I mean, how can you not love stuff that includes throwing plastic corn, a parking-lot confrontation and quotes such as the following:
Twice during the Killer Bees' 5-1 loss on Saturday to Laredo, Clouthier and Richards dropped the gloves, combining for 52 minutes of penalties, with the hostility between the two stemming from what happened Thursday night in Laredo. As the teams left the ice following a 6-5 Laredo win, Clouthier, in what he called a "pretty stupid move" shot a piece of corn at Richards, leading to a confrontation between the two. The confrontation led to another incident in the parking lot of the Laredo Entertainment Center near the Bees bus as Richards tried to meet with Clouthier and the Bees as they were leaving the arena.
Richards said what he did after Thursday's game was "really immature of me."
"It carried over to today. It was a hard-fought battle," Richards said. "I give the guy respect, he's really tough and I guess it's probably going to happen again so I'm looking forward to it."
So is Clouthier, and he'll get another chance at Richards on Friday in Laredo.
"We'll squash it probably next game but I hope to squash it really, really hard," Clouthier said. "I'm really going to try my best to really hurt him."
"(Fighting is) something I like to do. The guy is thinking he's bigger than God right now because he got my jersey over my head and he jumped me," Clouthier said. "But he's going to be brought down a couple pegs."
And it seems Tom Steinel did something I've never seen anyone do in five years: Get the normally mild-mannered Jay Hardwick to snap:
With 4:14 left, Hardwick was called for hooking then an unsportsmanlike conduct then a 10-minute misconduct. As he left the ice, he was pointing and shouting at Steinel.
Sandalow also unearthed these postgame thoughts from Terry Ruskowski:
"I had a lot of doubts coming in after the way we played last night and after the way they came back at us Thursday in Laredo," Bucks coach Terry Ruskowski said. "I really had a lot of doubts about how we were going to perform and how we were going to perform especially from that trouncing we got last night.
"I just said here's a chance to show your character. If you've got character or no character let me know," Ruskowski added. "They played pretty well."
All this started over rubber corn! Geez Robin Richards has some serious issues if something like that makes him want to pull a player off a bus. I don't wish for Cloutier to put the guy in the hospital but I do hope he gives him what he has coming. Obviously maturity was not high on Ruskowski's recruiting list this year!
