Irene Neuwirth
This tousle-haired nature lover takes her inspiration primarily from the sea. Her palette of aquatic hues—deepwater ultramarines, mermaid-greens—evokes her frequent travels to beachside destinations. Neuwirth's signatures are bright, colorful lozenges and teardrops—her emerald, chrysoprase, and opal cabochons glisten like robins' eggs or sugared almonds—orbited by twinkling rose-cut or pavé diamonds. It's this combination of natural and organic stones with icily polished diamonds that lends Neuwirth's pieces both a relaxed, bohemian feel and an upper-crust propriety.
Despite its lofty niche, Neuwirth's brand had decidedly terrestrial beginnings. In 1998, she had graduated from college and was blissfully living her dream, giving horseback-riding lessons when her parents told her, as she later recounted, to "get a real job."[2] For years, she had been crafting her own jewelry as a hobby and, prompted by her parents' whip-cracking, soon decided to string up a sample collection of beaded pieces. She sent them to Barneys New York with a charmingly unpretentious, magic marker–scrawled note saying, "Hope you love it."[3]
Barneys did, indeed, love it. The luxury retailer placed a sizable order, and Neuwirth's creations quickly became best-sellers. By 2003, she had officially launched her company with a business partner and the line was soon being carried by upmarket boutiques across the country. Her strategy since then has been to aim higher and higher on the price spectrum (her most sumptuous concoctions now retail for up to $120,000), adding more rarefied gems and wooing "women who have a strong sense of style and are buying and collecting jewelry for themselves,"[4] as she has put it.Neuwirth's work has continued to grow in sophistication year after year, but she has stuck to one time-tested formula: luxury with a down-to-earth vibe. As she herself has said, her heritage pieces are "a gust of fresh air for fine jewelry."[5]
Irene Neuwirth born in Los Angeles, the youngest of four, to a businessman father and an artist mother. The family divides its time between L.A. and Telluride, Colorado.
Attends Skylake Yosemite Camp for the first time. (Years later, she'll meet future comedian Andy Samberg there: "He was the campfire counselor and I was the horse wrangler."[6])
Attends the University of Vermont, studying environmental science. Gets heavily into riding; she will eventually become a professional equestrienne and place fourth nationally in her age group. Begins designing jewelry with disassembled vintage pieces and selling it to anyone who inquires about it.
After graduating from college, teaches riding in Malibu.
Takes up beading as hobby.
Sends ten necklaces to Barneys New York; a buyer places an order, which soon sells out. Neuwirth's designs begin to incorporate semiprecious stones such as opal and chrysoprase. She begins taking jewelry-making and metal-working classes, expanding into chains and pavé-diamond settings. Working out of her Malibu apartment, attracts the attention of editors, stylists, and more retailers.
Finds a financial partner, Tracy Stoll, and begins expanding her business. Model Carmen Kass sports an Irene Neuwirth carnelian necklace in December Vogue's winter-getaway portfolio "Escape Artists," photographed by Steven Meisel.
Officially founds the Irene Neuwirth label. Later tells WWD that in her first year sales quadrupled.
Receives the Town & Country Couture Design Editors' Choice Award.
Her now twelve-person team moves into a 4,200-square-foot townhouse in Venice Beach, California.
As the economy crashes, her strategy is to increase quality and prices. May: Her collections are carried by 29 stores in America, including Jeffrey in New York, Ylang 23 in Dallas, and Meridian Jewelers in Aspen. July: Selected as one of the ten finalists for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund competition. November: Vogue toasts Neuwirth and the other nine finalists in "Just the Ten of Us." She is photographed for the feature on horseback—along with model Caroline Trentini—by Norman Jean Roy. December: WWD reports that while many panicked jewelers are responding to the fiscal crisis with more affordable offerings such as sterling silver, a few, including Neuwirth, are seeing increased demand for bigger-ticket items retailing for over $40,000.
Becomes a member of the CFDA. February: Partners with fellow Fashion Fund nominee Richard Chai to create a gemstone brooch and waterfall earrings. May: At trade shows, presents higher-end creations, with diamonds and precious gems, that cost up to five figures. "Women want things that are timeless,"[7] she says.
Focuses on statement pieces. "We completely lost the middle price point in our business," she says. "Everyone is responding to big stuff, the mix in unusual color and a lot of rose gold."[8]
March: Breakout actress Emma Stone wears Irene Neuwirth earrings and a bracelet in Vogue. April: Neuwirth debuts a diamond collection for Barneys. "It's still my style, but it's upped a level. It's not exclusively diamonds, there are just more diamonds and bigger diamonds than normal,"[9] she says. Seventy percent of the collection sells out in ten days. May: Vogue spotlights her new diamond collection. July: Teams up with architect Marc Fornes to create a pop-up shop in Manhattan for BOFFO's Building Fashion project. August: Model Anais Mali sports a Neuwirth opal bracelet in the Vogue accessories feature "Mixed Media," photographed by Raymond Meier.
February: Shows her latest collection at a CFDA-sponsored salon during New York Fashion Week. March: Nominated for the CFDA's Swarovski Award for Accessory Design. April: Reese Witherspoon flashes emerald-and-opal Neuwirth earrings at the White House Correspondents' dinner. May: Neuwirth tells a reporter that business has increased by 68 percent this year. At the Couture fine-jewelry show in Las Vegas, sells all 200 of her pieces within the first two hours. June: Emma Stone steps out to the Tony Awards wearing Neuwirth's chrysoprase earrings. September: The rising jeweler participates in the "Americans in Paris" program, a venture by the CFDA and Vogue to introduce American designers to editors and buyers in the City of Light. October: Vogue reports on Neuwirth's collaboration with L.A. shoe designer and friend George Esquivel.
In January, actress Scarlett Johansson wears Irene Neuwirth turquoise earrings to the Broadway premiere of her play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

News: Kat Stacks Shares Regrets For Exposing Rappers, "Everybody Stopped Talking To Me"
Friday, Aug 13, 2010 12:34PM
Self-proclaimed rap groupie Kat Stacks has come back into the limelight and revealed her initial discomfort with calling out rappers like Lil Wayne and Nelly earlier this year after paying for alleged sex.
In her new feature with XXL Magazine, Stacks said she initially regretted her decision to expose rap stars.
"When I first made the Internet blog, I regretted it, because everybody stopped talking to me," Stacks revealed in the interview. "But as I got bigger in time, bigger names and muthaf*ckas in the game, they all started getting at me. It just upgraded my career. Now I don't gotta go work. I don't gotta do sh*t. All I gotta do is show up at a [club] and get paid [for appearances] I don't regret it anymore. The first time I did it, I was like, 'D*mn, why the f*ck I did this sh*t? Because I was drunk? Just to embarrass muthaf*ckas?' I didn't expect to get money out of it. Now these muthaf*ckas keep f*ckin' with me, so I'm gonna continue to do Kat Stacks." (The 305)
Earlier this year, Stacks accused rappers Fabolous and Bow Wow of having her physically abused.
"yes its true @myfabolous life sent people today to smack me up at the bar & they stole my phone & recorded it. i dare yall to blast it."
"got my a** wooped? it was 2 n*ggas yelling @myfabolouslife & @bowwow name ... im a female u got 2 n*ggas to hit me LOL lame." (Kat Stacks' Twitter)
In addition to Fab addressing the rumor, Bow Wow also came forward to say he had no relationship with Stacks.
"Of course I had no involvement with it," he promised in an interview. "It's so far fetched for me. Come on, man, everybody knows I make records for girls...I'm not an evil person. I don't condone violence. That's just the type of person I am. I just feel like, if anything, positivity is always the way out. So I think that maybe if she humbles herself a lil more and be positive and go about things differently, then hopefully she'll be alright...but that's not my style. I don't put hits on people, I'm in the music business...if I wanted to fight, I'd be in the MMA." (XXL Mag)
Following the Stacks revelation, G-Unit's Lloyd Banks discussed the hurdles rappers find themselves in with groupies.
"Yeah, I would f*ck the sh*t out of her so I could say, 'Yeah, I f*cked you first,' she's telling everybody else, I'm telling her a**," Banks revealed in an interview referring to Kat Stacks. "Nah, [laughs], I mean, nah, you gotta be careful on a serious note, like, nobody wants that. Nobody wants their private sh*t to come out. Some things are supposed to stay that way. I wouldn't do it on the other end, so I can't appreciate that...I've done seen a lot, I've seen a mother and daughter, I done had a mother and daughter, women in the room already, things like that. Imagine going in your bathroom and somebody come out the closet. It's been crazy, overwhelming man and I think it helped me, from being with women and so beautiful that you look at them and be like, 'D*mn, how the f*ck did I get this b*tch?' It kinda preps you that everything isn't always about the looks." (Blogxilla)

Big Changes Coming to Los Angeles' 1-to-1 Computing Effort
The LAUSD schools will let some schools test laptops instead of iPads, change the way it deploys devices, and overhaul its approach to letting students take devices home.
The LAUSD schools will let some schools test laptops instead of iPads, change the way it deploys devices, and overhaul its approach to letting students take devices home.
A new hybrid tablet/laptop device, Microsoft's Surface Pro 3, is set up as a challenger to Apple's iPad and MacBook Air.
The Los Angeles Unified School District's iPad contract has been under serious scrutiny, but the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office says it will not file criminal charges.
Two software programs already used successfully in LA schools received low scores in the procurement process won by Pearson's unproven curriculum, according to a report.
The Los Angeles Board of Education is set to vote on a proposal that would delay elements of the country's largest 1-to-1 student computing initiative.
The first phase of Los Angeles' ambitious iPad initiative will continue, but new oversight measure could delay subsequent phases.
By the end of 2013, 3.5 million tablets will have been shipped to the education marketplace, 94% of which will have been iPads, according to new research.
By the end of 2013, total shipments for tablets in the education marketplace are expected to exceed 3.5 million units, with Apple's iPad dominating.
Los Angeles Unified's outgoing deputy superintendent for instruction addresses critics and defends the decision to roll out an unfinished digital curriculum as part of the district's iPad initiative.
Flipping communication isn't about replacing anything...it's about enhancing it.

Doll Collectors Swoon Over Monster Babies
by Cristen Conger | February 19, 2013
Although it's been around since the early 1990s, I've just learned about the "Reborn" doll subculture of collectors who buy up pricey baby dolls, strip the paint off their faces and sometimes remove their stuffing in order to give them second, far more realistic-looking, lives. An editor of Doll Crafter magazine told The New York Times in 2005 that "reborning" came out of a confluence of doll collecting, DIY, and the popularity of eBay where many reborn babies are bought and sold. Now, The New York Times photo blog has published a series from Rebecca Martinez who documented the reborn doll trend for five years…
We're getting a little tired of vampires and zombies. Well, I am. Holly likes vampires (but not in a Cullen way) and is getting a little desensitized to the zombie gore. We do wonder what's coming next, though.
PopStuff Show Notes: Episode 19, Zombies. Why did it have to be zombies?
by Tracy V. Wilson | November 28, 2011
Our zombie episode published the day after "The Walking Dead" aired its midseason finale. That timing was completely planned, let me tell you. That's just how on top of it Holly and I are when we go into the studio, especially when we're recording stuff way ahead of time because of holiday scheduling. Really.
Three Medical Facts the Characters on 'Walking Dead' Should Know

The World's First Zombie Marketing Division
by Chanel Lee | July 28, 2011
Have you ever started researching something cool and come across something even better? As I delved into yesterday's post, I spied a truly mind-blowing tidbit: In April, the marketing firm that partnered with Reed Street Productions to put together the "Run for Your Lives" 5K race instituted the world's first zombie marketing division. I would say "my head just exploded" or something like that, but I think the zombies would like that just a little too much. So, who are these guys?
Flee from the Running Dead in a Zombie-Infested 5K
by Chanel Lee | July 27, 2011
If you like your zombies more "28 Days Later" than "The Walking Dead," then you'd probably love something like the "Run for Your Lives" 5K race. If you're wondering what competitive running has to do with zombies … well, not much, unless you're running from them, of course. This October, however, 10,000 brave runners will test that theory by running a standard 5-kilometer (3.1-mile) race that just so happens to be riddled with undead creatures that want to eat them.
To quote esteemed mad scientist Seth Brundle, "Insects don't have politics." Theirs is a world of intricate brutality and wasps have been excelling in it for more than a hundred million years. This latest example comes to us in this paper from France's CNRS (Délégation Paris Michel-Ange) and it concerns a wasp that not only hatches from its egg inside the belly of a ladybug, but upon emerging forces its eviscerated host to guard its cocoon while it transitions from larva to full-grown horror wasp.
On the Set of "The Walking Dead" … Well, Sorta
by Chanel Lee | June 13, 2011
One of my favorite aspects of the AMC runaway hit "The Walking Dead" is the way it lovingly showcases its Atlanta setting. I got a serious kick out of seeing the city — street signs and all — so prominently displayed throughout the show's first season and I just about fell off my couch when I learned that one of last season's climactic moments was filmed mere minutes from my apartment. So you know I was giddy when I read an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution highlighting the return of "The Walking Dead" to my neighborhood.

CDC Urges Preparation for Zombie Apocalypse
by Robert Lamb | May 19, 2011
In his excellent New York Times editorial piece, Chuck Klostermlan described zombies as a collective fear projection of the boring, unstoppable forces that will consume us in our humdrum lives. That being said, the undead still continue to fascinate teaming masses of fans, forcing a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't to consider survival strategies for the end of civilization. What does the CDC have to say?

India Chiles
March 24, 2007
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A sacrifice fly from senior center fielder Lindsay Schutzler in the bottom of the sixth inning was enough to back an outstanding combined pitching effort from junior Megan Rhodes and senior Monica Abbott (25-1) as No. 1 Tennessee (32-2, 10-2 SEC) continued the best start to a campaign in program history by sweeping a doubleheader from Arkansas (12-27, 0-7 SEC) on Saturday at Tyson Park with a 1-0 victory in the second contest.
After registering an inside-the-park homer during the 4-0 opening triumph, Schutzler (1-for-2, RBI) was responsible for the winning RBI in the finale with her sacrifice fly in the sixth. Senior left fielder India Chiles delivered a 2-for-2 effort at the dish, while junior second baseman Kenora Posey went 1-for-2 and scored the winning run. Freshman right fielder Erinn Webb singled in the second frame. Rhodes struck out 10 over five innings of work while allowing just one hit, but left the match-up with no score. Abbott worked two perfect innings and struck out four to pick up her 25th victory.
"We've been playing a lot of freshmen over the last few games looking for someone to emerge and take over at certain positions," Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. "They are performing pretty well, but no one's stepping up to grab a spot full-time. We'll continue to work on the offense and continue working to get better every day. Once again, Megan Rhodes and Monica Abbott pitched very well for us, and the defense was solid. We got clutch hits from Lindsay Schutzler in both games that were effectively game-winners."
The second contest started as a pitcher's duel between Tennessee's Rhodes and Arkansas' Katy Henry. The Big Orange received a lead-off single in the bottom of the first from Chiles, but the Louisville, Ky., native was thrown out on a steal attempt for the first time this season after going 23-of-23 to open the year.
Tennessee posted a pair of base runners in the bottom of the second on a two-out single from freshman right fielder Erinn Webb and an error committed by UA's second baseman Brandy Baze. Webb attempted to advance from first to third on that fielding miscue off the ground ball from freshman designated player Allison Fulmer but was thrown out on a rope from Baze to third baseman Dayne Huckabee to conclude the frame.
After Rhodes struck out five of the first six UA batters she faced, the Lady'Backs reached the Nashville, Tenn., product for a lead-off single from Samantha Buckner to open the top of the third. After retiring Baze by groundout and left fielder Jocelyne Moncrief by strikeout, Tennessee co-head coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly made the decision to intentionally walk Arkansas' leading hitter, center fielder Jessica Bachkora. The strategy paid immediate dividends as right fielder Rachel LeMaster grounded out harmlessly to Manuma at third to strand the duo of base runners and maintain the scoreless deadlock.
With one retired in the top of the fifth, Chiles made an outstanding "web gem" style play, despite her ongoing struggles with a left shoulder injury, to save UT from a potential Arkansas two-bagger. Buckner drove a low drive down the left field line that was bidding to drop just inside the chalk. That forced Chiles to race over on a full run from her defensive position and slide on her stomach to make an outstanding catch to keep the base paths clear.
Still scoreless through five complete innings, Abbott was summoned into the contest in relief to open the sixth after throwing a complete-game shutout in UT's 4-0 triumph over the Lady'Backs in the opener. The 6-3 left hander immediately re-established her dominance in the circle by striking out Moncrief and Bachkora before inducing a weak pop-up to short by LeMaster.
Posey led-off the bottom of the sixth by reaching on a perfect bunt single to short, and advanced to second as Chiles bounced a base knock through the left side. With no one down and in a key position in the game, Horiuchi came through with a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance the runners up 60 feet and into scoring position at second and third. The sac play proved extremely important as Schutzler immediately delivered a sacrifice fly into left to plate Posey for a 1-0 lead.
One run proved to be plenty for Abbott as the Salinas, Calif., native struck out two of the last three hitters she faced to pick up her 25th victory of the campaign and grant the Lady Vols the doubleheader sweep.
No. 1 Tennessee will complete the three-game series against Arkansas on Sunday at 1 p.m. Live stats will be available through utladyvols.com on Gametracker, and periodic updates will be provided to the Lady Vol Hotline at 865-974-8700 (box #6).

It was on a bus from Tena, a small town bordering the jungle, to Banos, known for its hot springs, that I first met Michael, Ruth, and their children Brian and Lucy. We had both had the idea of taking the seven-hour bus ride at night so we could catch the sun rising over the magnificent Andes. We immediately recognized each other as fellow Americans and began to make small talk. It was midnight, but the kids were plenty excited about taking the night journey. Brian, age 9, asked his mom if he could sit up front with the driver, and she replied with, "I don't know…why don't you go ask?" Brian wasn't shy; he walked right up to the driver and asked in English, pointing to the open seat. The driver understood and approved, putting a big smile on Brian's face. I thought aloud, "Wow, that was very brave of him. I know kids who cling to their parents' legs when being introduced to family friends."
His mother Ruth explained that they'd been traveling around Ecuador for two weeks now, and both of the kids had shown wonder and curiosity about a world unknown. She told me that they stayed in hostels or pensiones with kitchens, and after sightseeing during the day would go to the local market, buy the evening's dinner, and cook it themselves. "We wanted the kids to have a cultural experience and be introduced to a new language at an early age. We do an hour of reading or looking up new words every night." What smart parents! I decided that's exactly what I would do when I had kids. Then Michael piped in that they'd been dying to visit Ecuador and the Galapagos for a long time. "So it's a win-win situation!" I replied.
Bouncing along the winding roads as we climbed to higher elevation, I drifted in and out of sleep. Well, I missed the sunrise, but Michael and Ruth let me know that because of the cloud cover it wasn't that much of a loss on my part. We bid farewell and parted ways. I looked back and had to smile when I saw Lucy waiting patiently by the fruit stand, eyeing the shiny, red apples stacked into a pyramid.
Banos was more than I expected, so much more that I extended my stay from the intended two days to a week. From biking along a waterfall path, to hiking the surrounding patchwork mountains, to soaking in the hot springs, I stayed very busy. There's a lot going on in Banos, and I ended up bumping into Michael and Ruth again in the town center, which takes on a carnival-like atmosphere every Sunday. Clowns on stilts, upbeat music, a main painted gold to look like a statue - Lucy and I were both fascinated by him! I gave Lucy a quarter (Ecuador has used the US dollar since 1999) and told her to put it in his can. Immediately the "statue" came to life and began mimicking a robot. I think Lucy could have stayed there plunking quarters in his can all day long. Later someone handed us a flier for a puppet show being held for kids. I told Michael and Ruth I would be happy to take the kids if they wanted a free hour. They were grateful, and Brian, Lucy and I made our way to the puppet show. It was all in Spanish and reminded me of Sesame Street. The audience was mostly Ecuadorian kids, and despite the language barrier Brian and Lucy became friendly with the rest of the group. It was a lot of fun, and I was happy I was able to share the experience with someone else from the States.
What's great about Ecuador is that it's about the size of Nevada but has four distinct ecosystems: the Andes, the jungle, the coast, and the Galapagos. It feels as if the beauty of four different countries has been compacted into one. The beauty of the Amazon isn't to be missed. Upon arriving the warm breezes will greet you, while the tropical scent of orchids lulls you into a state of relaxation. At Sacha Lodge, one of Ecuador's most family-friendly jungle lodges, kids can play in the gardens while you log some hammock time. There's something for everybody at Sacha Lodge; favorite activities include paddling in dugout canoes, observing toucans and the other incredible birdlife, and visiting the butterfly house where over 40 species are bred. Seeing the famous blue morpho butterfly float by is truly a unique experience. You'll have a chance to meet and interact with indigenous people, learn how to shoot blow darts, taste a lemon ant, and learn about medicinal plants. A friendly and knowledgeable staff will look after you and make your stay memorable.
To continue your learning experience, what better way to introduce kids to rare animal species than to teach them with a field trip to the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands have a history of Spanish exploration and English pirates, not to mention Charles Darwin, who made his theory of natural selection based on his observations here. A five- or eight-day cruise will take you around to swim with playful sea lions and their pups, and to see giant sea tortoises, slithering iguanas, and extraordinary bird life. Galapagos is the real Sea World with unparalleled opportunities to mingle with the animals. A visit there is a truly unique experience, considering that these are some of the world's last completely untamed animals that are without fear of humans. Naturalist guides aboard your yacht will enthusiastically answer all of your questions about the region's plants, animals, and geology. A variety of activities from walking, snorkeling and swimming will keep you active, but the relaxed pace won't exhaust you - or your kids.
Lastly, a trip to Ecuador wouldn't be complete without a visit to the famous Otovalo market, three hours north of Quito. I suggest doing this at the end of your itinerary, as there are many tempting buys and lugging them around would put a damper on things! The main market is on Saturday morning, but there's also a slightly smaller version on Tuesdays. Be ready to negotiate - it's expected! Stands with piles of brightly knit sweaters, musical instruments unique to Ecuador, and gourds with intricate handmade designs might capture your interest. I was shopping around for sweaters when who did I bump into? Michael, Ruth, and the kids! What a surprise, but that's Ecuador for you; you're likely to see old friends in another, amazing corner of the country.

"rapidly netted out and liquidated Lehman's entire interest rate swap portfolio without imposing losses" would appear to make this a non issue. Where is the harm?
The folks who engage in these swaps are big boys now and can take care of themselves. The notion that "regulators and market participants should have an easier time measuring—and containing—systemic risk" is conjured out of thin air. Where is the evidence that all the regulations imposed on the market in 2006 were effective in preventing the recent financial unpleasantness?
Regulators knew of Madow, this newspaper and the Fed all enthused about how securitization managed risk, politicians took bows for their excellent management of the economy. It would appear that the failed regulators are being rewarded with yet more taxpayer money and power. Maybe that's the point of this conference.
The harm was in the lack of transparency. When Lehman went under, no one knew who was a winner or a loser, so everyone stopped doing business with everyone else. And down went the financial system.
The blog is about whether regulation of these markets will prevent crashes.
There are 2007 quotes from Ben Bernancke, to the effect that he didn't think that the sub-prime mortgage problems were significant and that the use of derivatives protected against risk.
What evidence is there that the transparency so beloved of waifs in the media and government has any impact? The financial system didn't go down because no one knew that things were rotten; it went down because things were, and remain rotten.
The Fed and Treasury secretary creates the fog that destroyed transparency by keeping everything a secret and refusing to let anyone know which banks were in trouble. Then they forced all the good banks to take the bailouts in order to confuse people as to which banks were sound and which were not.
Everyone at the Fed and the IMF thought the derivatives were the best thing since bread. The mainstream economic community praised them.
Transparency allows the market to self-correct before something as extreme as a crash is necessary. If the participants don't know that "things are rotten" they won't be able to trade accordingly and will remain exposed. Similarly, when the market knows generally that "things are rotten" but not specifically which "things," panic ensues as bampbs noted.
Fundamentalist said it best; where's the fog? What does regulation or putting a list of trades into the WSJ do?
I've been reading Taleb on Black Swans and antifragility. Oversight by a federal agency will make the thing even more rigid, more liable to catastrophic failure. Lehman had 7 trillion in unregulated mullah out on the streets and when it folded, the markets had an orderly unwinding. When regulated banks, securities markets and the federal schemes like the Fannies were stressed, they collapsed and we're still under that cloud after 5 years.
What does the government add that makes economic sense? Or will will governmental oversight allow for even more stresses to build up and then explode?

every month or so, I fiund myself digging throught the forums for something I could find an answer by RTFM. I'm been in networking and on the net since '91 it was a much different place.
I've invested about 1.5 years and a good portion of my staff on developing mobile oriented software and hardware. I've placed all my bets on nokia. I've really just had to put off development of the client side applications for much of what I am doing and I have some real issues that I never got answers for.
check out my first posts here, sms based interaction for users. One of the things I do is use the users mobile as a registration confirmation tool by sending access codes to the systems I build via SMS.
I asked a year ago, how does one dial replicate a number that is like *111#
I mean if someone would have documented that somewhere, i'd not be asking a year later.
I hate to sit here and question the logic of nokia, how benificial could it be to allow people to ask relatively simple (or so it would seem) questions go unanswered, then spend millions (or so it would seem) trying to attract developers. I have been extremely reluctant, up to the last minute dedicating anyone and have essentially done almost everything outside the Nokia framework (right down to using the cell phone for a remote control to a multimedia center) .. In fact, if it wasn't gsm standard or Java, i'm not using it.
Most likely because I got this big hole in my logic that keeps me from knowing the balance of any given account or prevents me from automatically crediting a phone account.
I do not want to seem like a complainer. I am a genuine Nokia enthusiast. I have every communicator ever made. My entire company uses nokia, I buy every camera phone that has come out, personally I've spent probably 15,000 on phones just for myself in the last 10 years. All nokia.
So, the only reason I am writing this is to explain if there is no documentation, and a big part of your business and development ( I have been in development for 19 year now, work in 20 countries, multimillion turnover aun) you just don't feel right if the logic of it all isn't there.
Where is the logic of a forum, if the bulk of questions never get answered. The type of resources are about sharing answers, not sharing questions.
I begin to wonder about the logic of a company (even when I have always been impressed with that company) when the little details get ignored or the stop a few yards short of a goal.
just another example, How does a company sell a phone that costs $1000 or more, ( I have bought all of the $1000 phones) that is a form factor that has never exited before (All the camera phones, all the communicators) and not include a $10 carrying case.
I have 2 dead nokia communicators (a 9210 and the 9500) due to falls for the absence of a proper carrying case. And try to get parts, a $1000 phone that has chronic hinge problems that I can not get fixed, even in the capital of a country of 50,000,000 people at the nokia auth repair center.
I guess what I am suggesting is if you do it, do enough to not leave a bad impression.
I had the N93 for an entire year, carrying it around in my shirt pocket for the lack of a case, that I only found yesterday. Not to mention that every couple of months, I go to the nokia store to see if they can fix my communicator.
When a brand new 3 mpixel phones gets wet because it's in your coat pocket instead of one your belt, you got nothng nice to day about nokia.
When I do something, it's to the best and I cut all the irish penants and polish the paint before I send it out the door. I have a project that comes out after 1.5 years of development in a few days. It's 2:50 am and I am looking for answers myself...
I hope I never get so successful that I spoil my best customers impressions of me with my lack of attention to detail
I hope I never reach a level where my staff will need to be prodded to care about the guy out in the field.
I hope my salespeople will never take years of works and turn away clients for the lack of answering a few questions before they sink the big money on my works.
I'm going to do it, I am putting an a person full time on Carbide, that's 100% nokia. I think if I see him not able to be productive, I'll have to pull him. I can continue to focus on Java and not be limited to purely nokia devices. Do I want the added benefits?, I do, Have I done my homework?, I have., am I willing to bang my head against the wall to get results? probably not, If I feel a company has lost touch with it's user / customer / developer base will I throw hundreds of thousands of dollars in it equipment and in salaries that lock me into years of suffering? no way.
BTW, Anyway I can order a case for my nokia 9500? or will that question go unanswered. I'm not buying the new communicator, even if I like the red color. I want my old one back online.. shame to let a phone like that gather dust, don't you agree..

3.15/5 rDev -18.8%
A: Pours golden with about a finger of white head and a decent amoint of lacing.
S: The citra hops really shine through with strong aromas of grapefruit and citrus. Juicy!
T: A bit of a let down here. Pretty one dimensional with lots of bitter hops throughout. A bit of citric sweetness comes through towards the finish.
M: I don't think the cask serving does any good for this brew. The body is extremely thin and I found myself wanting carbontion after each sip.
O: This is the first Fatheads brew that has left me disappointed. Nothing great about this brew and at 25% wheat malt it's a misnomer to call this a wheat beer. I might dry it again on normal tap.

3.2/5 rDev -17.5%
Even though the menu at fat head's always puts the name "Fat Head's" before the name of their beers, I've given up on that when adding beers. I think you get the point if I just use "Jungle Juice."
Jungle Juice has a hazy, golden-yellow body with an off-white head. The head is a solid slab, with good retention and lacing.
The aroma is packed with fruity citrus aroma, and some bready malt to back it up. Nice aroma, but there is a little bit of a roasted character to it.
Jungle Juice is a great, hoppy American Wheat Beer with one big problem: coffee. There is a strange coffee flavor lingering around this beer that has no business being there. Is it my imagination? Maybe, but I don't think so. Most likely, a coffee beer was run through this line before this one (Jungle Juice was tapped the same day I sampled it). Normally I would not write a review of a beer in this situation, but Jungle Juice is draft only, and I had it on-tap at Fat Head's Pittsburgh, so if I can't review it in this situation, it will never be fit to review. Anyway, its always possible there is a strange flavor in there that I misjudged for coffee, and that case this review will be most helpful.
The coffee flavor isn't overpowering, but it is present in the background throughout. Besides the coffee, the hop profile is great. Tons of citrus fruit flavor packed in, with the clear usage of citra hops. Orange, tangerine, grapefruit, all manner of citrus basically. Moderate to high bitterness comes with the hops. The malt profile isn't as powerful as the hops, but it is noticeable. A mix of wheat and barley brings some bread and cracker. Just a hint of malty sweetness. The ale yeast adds a bit of generic fruit flavor also.
Pretty good bitterness, with smooth, full carbonation. Body is a hair over moderate.
That coffee flavor really ruins what could be a great wheat beer. I will give this beer another shot if I manage to find it, and I will report back about that coffee. I hope to change this score to at least a B+ when it is sans-cafe.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. In the aroma, citra hops and a small wheat presence. In the taste, nice dry hop and a small wheat note all the way through. A small bite with a medium to lighter bodied mouthfeel, and a small dry citrus hop aftertaste. Nice citrus hops that meshed well with a wheat base.

Review from notes. Poured from tap at the brewery a few weeks ago into a clean, clear glass.
A Full very light brown head that sticks to the inside of the glass over a hazy yellow body. 4.0
S Wheat malt, some hops to the nose. Interesting. 4.0
T Smooth but hoppy wheat malt beer that is interesting and delicious. Those two qualities are not all that easy to achieve. 4.0
M Thick and smooth. The wheat malt and the hops create a nice balance and a good thickness. 4.0
D Good, solid, drinkable beer. 4.0

16oz draft -> pint
Review from notes.
Cloudy orange julius looking with a thin tight head that sticks around although lacing is minimal.
Dank hoppy nose, citrus tones with pineapple rind that borders on green onion. Did I mention dank?
Thin malt base with only a touch of sweetness. Thick on the front from the 25% wheat base. Clean crisp finish with only a touch of lingering bitterness.
APWA is quickly becoming something I really look forward to every summer. Fatheads does not disappoint.

Dr. Amen is a pioneer in brain research. He says parents should start talking to kids about their brains when they're very young."Each of us is born with a brain containing nearly 100 billion nerve cells, and our first 10 years determine how we'll experience the world for the rest of our lives," he explains. "How you help their brains is you play with them the game I play with my daughter. She's now eight, but since she was two, we called it 'Chloe's Game: Is this good for my brain or bad for my brain?'"
Dr. Amen says the game is simply talking to your child and asking them questions like, "What are those things that are good for your brain?"
From talking about exercise and eating great foods to protecting the brain, like teaching your kid to wear a helmet when they ride a bike, Dr. Amen says it's important to take a proactive approach to enhancing a child's brain health."New learning is absolutely essential. Some simple supplements like a multiple vitamin and fish oil are great for kids," he adds.Teaching children how to manage their emotions and everyday pressures is another key to raising a brain healthy child.
"Being angry. Negative thinking. Too much stress all hurts the brain," says Dr. Amen.
He studies the effects of trauma on the brain and says parents should initiate conversations about lowering the risk of brain injury. "I want parents to really elevate the discussion about brain health at home. So, if their child comes home and says, 'Well, you know, I really want to play tackle football,' they're like, 'Good for your brain or bad for your brain?' And based on our research, it's clearly bad for the brain. And the real reason not to do drugs and alcohol? Because they damage your brain. They damage your brain; they damage your life," says Dr. Amen.And remember that every brain in the family matters. "It's very important to have love, honor and respect for your brain, because you'll be a better parent, and for your child's brain, because they'll be better kids and better adults. And when you're really old and they're taking care of you, they'll be better to you," he adds.Dr. Amen's conclusion you're never too young, or ever too old, to maximize your brain's potential.

If you are like me, and hadn't ventured over to Gameday Sports Grille & Bar until recently, know that it's waiting for you Super Bowl Sunday - but you'd better hurry and reserve your seat.
When you get to eat your way across the Santa Clarita Valley as part of your job, you end up with far too many "favorites" to list at year's end. In fact, I'd say pretty much every restaurant I visited this past year was a favorite. But, with the heavy hand of space limitation squeezing my neck, I can only offer you four of my adventures here, along with the days those stories first ran.

Hundreds of layoffs thought to be temporary are now permanent at a billion dollar Hemlock Semiconductor facility in Clarksville.Hemlock Semiconductor announced Tuesday that workers laid off in January would be "permanently separated from the company."The Michigan-based silicon products company blamed a volatile market for the job eliminations at facilities in Michigan and Tennessee. In an email to Nashville's News 2, spokesman Jarrod Erpelding stated, "In January, Hemlock Semiconductor Group announced its intention to lay off approximately 400 employees in Michigan and Tennessee in response to significant oversupply in the poly silicon industry and the threat of potential tariffs on its products sold into China."The layoffs equate to 100 job losses in Michigan and 300 job losses in Tennessee.The plant in Clarksville sits on nearly 500 acres that was previously farmland. In 2008, the planned $1.2 billion facility was touted as the "largest ever" investment in the state. A groundbreaking ceremony in 2009 marked the beginning of the construction phase that was expected to employ 1,200 workers.The project was slated to be complete in late 2012 with 500 permanent employees.Today, construction continues, and 300 of those 500 positions have been eliminated."It's a disappointment," said State House Representative Joe Pitts (D-Clarksville). "You know, you hate to see anything like that happen, especially when there was such great promise going into the project."Representative Pitts was among the state and local leaders that saw great potential for Hemlock in Tennessee. He admitted the job losses are a setback, but has no regrets."They have done everything in their power, and they've really met the criteria that was set for them by the state and the incentives we provided," he said. "So there's really no buyer's remorse here at all."Over the last four years, Hemlock Semiconductor has provided more than construction jobs. The manufacturer designed, built and funded a $2 million chemical engineering laboratory at Austin Peay State University."It's mixed emotions for us," said Bill Persinger, Executive Director of APSU Public Relations & Marketing. "Because it is obvious that with Hemlock coming here, (it) is the main reason we got this facility."The building that houses the lab bears the Hemlock name, but the lab helped make APSU a household name for its chemical engineering technology degree program. "Our program is a general chemical engineering program. These students walk out of here knowing just a wide range of chemical processes that apply to many fields," Persinger said.Since 2008, the school has been successful in placing students in jobs across the country, including Hemlock Semiconductor.As for the company that made it possible, Representative Pitts has not given up hope."I am confident, without a shadow of a doubt, that the company will open at some point in the future," Pitts said. "Anybody who has been out to the site has seen the investment they have made. It's just not something you walk away from easily."The Hemlock Semiconductor plant in Clarksville was designed to make high-purity silicon materials for use solar cells and solar panels. The facility was never fully operational. The 200 employees that remain employed will maintain the facility for future production.

Background:Now or never for the Ivory Coast? Perhaps not quite, but time is ticking for this so called 'golden generation' to deliver on their promise.
The common consensus is that the likes of Didier Drogba and Kolo Toure are not the players they used to be, both now well into their 30s, and still looking for their first international honor. A runners-up spot to Egypt in the 2006 final is the best the Ivory Coast have mustered since winning the event in 1992 – their only major international trophy to date.
In the absence of Egypt, Cameroon and Nigeria, the Ivory Coast are tipped by many to reach the final in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, but painful exits in the semi-finals and quarter-finals of the last two tournaments remain fresh in the memory for fans of les Elephants.
Coach Francois Zahoui, who succeeded Svan-Goran Eriksson, is well aware that his men have not lived up to expectations in recent tournaments admitting that they have entered as the "super-favurite only to come back disappointed".
They will again be fancied to qualify from a group consisting of Burkina Faso, Angola and Sudan, but it is in the knock-out stages where les elephants have suffered in recent years.
23-man Ivory Coast Africa Cup of Nations Squad:
Goalkeepers: Barry Boubacar (Lokeren, Belgium), Gerrard Gnanahouan (Avranches, France), Daniel Yeboah (Dijon, France)
Defenders: Siake Tiene (Paris St Germain, France), Arthur Boka (Stuttgart, Germany), Benjamin Angoua Brou (Valenciennes, France), Igor Lolo (FC Kuban Krasnodar, Russia), Didier Zokora (Trabzonspor, Turkey), Emmanuel Eboue (Galatasaray, Turkey), Kolo Toure (Manchester City, England), Souleymane Bamba (Leicester City, England)
Midfielders: Kafoumba Coulibaly (Nice, France), Jean-Jacques Gosso Gosso (Orduspor, Turkey), Didier Ya Konan (Hannover, Germany), Cheick Tiote (Newcastle United, England), Max Gradel (St Etienne, France), Yaya Toure (Manchester City, England)
Forwards: Gervinho (Arsenal, England), Seydou Doumbia (CSKA Moscow, Russia), Didier Drogba (Chelsea, England), Salomon Kalou (Chelsea, England), Wilfried Boni (Vitesse Arnhem, Netherlands), Abdul Kader Keita (Al Sadd, Qatar).
What They Say:
Wilfried Boni (forward)"The coach has confidence in us; he creates a sense of responsibility in the squad without coming across as overbearing. He makes it clear how he wants us to play the game and ensures that we're always there for each other on and off the pitch. He's provided us with the keys to success, and now it's up to us to give our all and bring home the trophy". (Fifa.com)
Player to Watch:
Yaya ToureThe giant midfielder has been one of Manchester City's best players this season, with manager Roberto Mancini clearly fearful of the affect his absence will have on City's title challenge. Watching Toure slip through the gears as he carries the ball through midfield is reminiscent of a Roy Keane or Patrick Vieira in his pomp and Zahoui will need this spiky competitor at his best if his team are to come home with the bacon. The coach rejected Coty's request to allow 2011 African Footballer of the Year Yaya and his brother Kolo to join the squad late so that they could feature in the FA Cup third round tie against Manchester United on January 8.

This oil painting hangs in the Governors Office in the gold domed Boston State Capital Building. It was front page news around the country on April 1, 1964 when the governor's 72 year old mother, Mary Parkman Peabody, was arrested at the Ponce de Leon Motor Lodge in St. Augustine, Florida for attempting to be served in an integrated group at a racially segregated restaurant. This made Mrs. Peabody a hero to the civil rights movement, and brought the efforts in St. Augustine—the nation's oldest city—to national and international attention. The story of her arrest is told in many books including one by her arrest companion Hester Campbell, called Four for Freedom.
An All-American star defensive lineman for the Harvard football team, he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He was a grandson of the founder of the Groton School and Brooks School, also named Endicott Peabody. He ran for political office unsuccessfully in Massachusetts several times. In 1962 he was elected Governor, upsetting Republican Governor John Volpe by 4,431 votes out of over 2 million cast. He served a single two-year term, but in 1964, was defeated in the Democratic primary by Lieutenant Governor Francis X. Bellotti. In 1966 he ran for a seat in the United States Senate and lost by a wide margin to then-state Attorney General Edward Brooke. Also during the United States presidential election, 1960 he coordinated John F. Kennedy's Presidential campaigns in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire[1]

PEORIA, Ill. -- We are just two weeks away from the Center for Prevention of Abuse's largest fundraiser of the year, the Duck Race.
On Saturday, August 24, thousands of rubber ducks will race down the Illinois River to raise funds and awareness for abuse prevention and services in central Illinois.
This year, organizers hope to sell 30,000 ducks and raise more than $150,000.
The funds raised help support the Center for Prevention of Abuse's prevention programs, especially those in area schools.
"The center was started as a victim's rights organization to help domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse victims. But we also realized about 25 years ago, that we need to do something to stop that kind of behavior," said Martha Herm, executive director of the center. So we have a wonderful prevention program in the schools and the duck race really helps support that effort because we get very little government funding for prevention."
The winning ducks will receive prizes ranging from $5,000 to gift cards to many local stores and restaurants.
In addition to the race, this year's event will feature live music, food from local vendors and family games.

Amazing Energy

I'm Addicted
By: Gaylie from Charleston, SC US on October 14, 2012
"I came across this product at Earth Fare, they were giving away samples. I purchased a 30-day supply and mixed it with a Berry Smoothie and some crushed ice, It was purely delicious. I noticed over the next week, I had much more energy throughout the day and I did not turn to a 5-hr Energy drink at 3pm. Three months later, it is part of my morning ritual and on sometimes I will make a second serving in the afternoon.
I LOVE IT!!! Thank You "

Love it!
By: Kim from Panama City, FL US on July 17, 2012
"I was reading the Whole living magazine when I came across Amazing Grass, it was mainly just an interview of how it all got started. I was interesed to learn more so I looked them up and decided to purchase the product. I went with the Energy formula. I have used it every day for a month and just ordered my next supply. I go from 6am to 10 pm on most days, I drink a glass of juice with one scoop in the morning and a glass of juice and a scoop in the afternoon around 3pm if it's going to be a long day. I really feel satisfied and I love the way I feel after drinking it. I really enjoy this product and I am so glad I came across it. Going to try the Raw next."

Glad when I finished container
By: Handyrae from Monroe, VA US on September 25, 2012
"I obtained a container of this from my friend who had purchased it and found the taste so awful that it literally made her gag. I didn't think it was gag-worthy, so traded her a container of my favorite brand of green drink. All in all, the taste is pretty darn awful and by the last few servings, I was forcing myself to drink it. It was a happy day when I chugged the last of it. In the plus side, it did work well as an energy drink and perked me up without making me feel restless or over-caffeinated. I think I objected to the taste of the mate in the drink, so if you like mate, you may very well like this drink."

A space heater is to blame for a weekend house fire that killed two children. It happened early Saturday morning in Guilford County.
Deputy Chief Mike Wright said firefighters learned that two children were trapped inside when crews made it to the house.
Wright said the children and their grandfather were sleeping in the home when the fire started Saturday. The children were sleeping in one room, and their grandfather was in another. The man woke up when he heard sounds from the flames and immediately tried to get the kids out of their room, but the flames were too big to reach the kids from the inside. So, Wright says, the grandfather went outside to try to get in another way.
Someone passing by the home saw the man trying to get in and attempted to help rescue the children, but the flames were still too large. Firefighters say they found four year old Matthew Ridge and one year old Jade Hawks in the same bed.
Investigators say the heater got too close to flammable material, and the home did not have working smoke detectors.

At age 29, New Orleanian Sarah Abrusley was living a fabulous full life with her husband Damien. The professional ballerina was also fulfilling her dream on stage performing around the world. Then, in September of 2007, she says she awoke with the worst headache of her life.
"So I stand up from my bed and already the left side of my body is paralyzed. But in fact I did not realize it. I began to walk and I realized I'm not walking well," said Abrusley.
Her husband rushed her to a nearby emergency room where hours later they would learn she had suffered a stroke.
"Everybody knew me as Sarah the ballerina. But suddenly here I am unable to dance. The stroke rendered the entire left side of my body unusable, completely paralyzed in fact," said Abrusley.
Sarah says an abnormality with blood vessels in her brain caused the stroke that shattered her life. Doctors say strokes are like a storm in your brain that interrupts your normal blood flow of much needed oxygen and can lead to paralysis.
Sarah, though, was determined to reclaim her body and her perseverance paid off. Within a month she was walking again but with limitations on her left side Her left arm, for example, was unusable. Her muscles were so tight she could not open her tight-fisted hand. It's a condition known as spasticity. But that changed last year when she started a new unlikely treatment.
She started receiving injections of the popular cosmetic product Botox, the trade name for botulinum toxin, normally used for smoothing out wrinkles. Botox injections in Sarah's arm, administered every three to four months, proved the treatment is not just for preserving youthfulness -- it's also useful in restoring life in limbs of stroke survivors.
"More and more my fingers are relaxed. Everyday I can very readily take my wedding ring on and off," said Abrusley.
The Botox also helped improve her ability to walk on her job as a concierge at a local hotel. When the injections relaxed the tightness in the muscles of her left hand, it also helped improved her overall balance.
"Some of my patients are surprised when I mention Botox," said Dr. Andrea Toomer, who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
But she says her stroke patients grappling with restricted movement in their arms and legs are quickly convinced of its value, once they see results in a week. At the Culicchia Neurological clinic she uses the Botox treatment on at least 20 patients.
"So if you are affected in your right arm and you can't relax your arm, we can use Botox at a high dose so you're not left very tight and unable to relax on your own," added Dr. Toomer.
Although physicians at the West Bank clinic have been using Botox for non-cosmetic reasons since 2001, the use of it specifically for stroke victims wasn't widely known among other doctors and patients until recently. That's because it was only two years ago when the manufacturer started marketing Botox for that particular use.
Right now physicians such as Dr. Toomer are trying to get the word out on this treatment.
"So many patients whose family members can't open their hands... you can imagine. How do you cut your fingernails? You can also cut your hands with your nails and you're open to infections being like this," added Dr. Toomer.
Slidell residents Joe Pastorek and his son Jeremy know all too well the benefits of Botox injections in treating the devastating impacts of a stroke.
Just three years ago the then-28-year-old was a law student at Mississippi College. Shortly after undergoing heart surgery, a blood clot formed and he suffered a massive stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body. Making matters worse, he says his wife left him.
With tears rolling down his face, in a monotone voice caused by the stroke, the 31-year-old man describes his life now as serious hell. "Because I'm so miserable. I have no independence. I can't even make food," said Jeremy Pastorek.
In spite of Jeremy's heartbreaking new reality though, his father says his treatment of Botox injections have helped him make progress and its given him hope of having use of his left arm.
"Whenever you tried to manipulate his arm and stretch it out to keep it from contracting he would feel pain . Now he can do it a lot and he doesn't feel any pain from it, " said Jeremy's dad, Joe.
In the case of 57-year-old New Orleanian Carolyn Lewis, she's new to the treatment, about six months into it. But already she's looking forward to getting more independence because of the Botox injections.
"I will be able to use a regular can opener. At one time had to wait for someone to come home or just be in the house to open a can," said Carolyn Lewis.
"To be able to put my hands up and work my hair is something I long to do myself," she added.
For patients like Carolyn, Jeremy and Sarah, you can call their medical injections the surprising Botox benefits. Their hope is that other stroke survivors too will have as much success as they have had, using a cosmetic product that's helping them reclaim some control of their bodies and their lives.

Wednesday, October 9, 1996
ANSWER: Lon Nol, who fled from the communist Khmer Rouge whose victory ushered in the era of "The Killing Fields," died in Fullerton, Calif., Nov. 17, 1985. He was 72.
Lon Nol went into exile in Hawaii in April 1975 with his wife and eight children and made his home here for four years before moving to Southern California.
He lived for a time at 811 Kumukahi Place in Hawaii Kai but later moved to Nanakuli, declaring that the Hawaii Kai home was too big. The Kumukahi Place house later was bought by then-little known businessman Ronald Rewald.
In 1978, the exiled president narrowly escaped injury in an accident with an overturned truck on the H-1 freeway near Aiea.
Lon Nol led the coup against Cambodian Prince Norodom Si hanouk in 1970. He declared Cambodia a republic but soon began to rule as a dictator. He suffered a stroke in 1971 and gave up many duties. But in 1972, he set up a new government with himself as president.
The New York Times said at his death that when he was forced out in 1975, he left behind a legacy of corruption and military defeat. As the anti-communist Cambodian army under Lon Nol grew in numbers with U.S. aid, corruption also grew, the New York Times said.
"Some commanders and recruiters began taking the pay of nonexistent soldiers, and other commanders would sometimes not pay the troops who did exist. Hungry soldiers often resorted to pillaging villages, alienating the peasants from the government cause."

News: Jay-Z's Bodyguard Catches Break, Croatia Police Drop Assault Charges
Friday, Aug 21, 2009 11:00AM
Jay-Z's bodyguard has reportedly caught a legal break and will not face jail time for assault and destruction of personal property against a cameraman in Croatia earlier this week.
While details are still scarce, the charges were dropped Thursday (August 20) afternoon.
Croatian law enforcement tell TMZ there will be no jail time for J's hired muscle, who had assault and destroying personal property charges filed against him after a tussle with a local reporter earlier this week. The bodyguard will have to pay a fine -- and we're told the police will not pursue further legal action. (TMZ)
The incident initially took place when Beyonce and Hov were confronted by photographers upon leaving a restaurant earlier this week.
As they were leaving dinner Tuesday night, the cameras were continuing to go off and the three tried to find their escape route by jumping onto a boat that would take them out to their yacht, but met hostility as one of the photographers proceeded to throw his tripod which cracked the bodyguard in his back. Everyone in their mind knows exactly what their reaction would be to a situation such as this but their bodyguard should be commended for his choice of response. Julius responded by throwing the piece of property in the ocean and giving the royal salute, along with Jay-Z, by way of the middle finger. (Hip Hop Wired)
Croatia sources claim Jay requested his bodyguard to physically attack the cameraman.
The couple was followed by their bodyguard, who pushed a cameraman away and told him not to film the singer. The daily 24 sata has reported Beyonce went to the city centre, where she encountered another cameraman, Dragan Banovic, 57. When the same bodyguard saw Banovic, he punched him, causing him to drop his camera. The bodyguard hit Banovic three more times after he got back up and then threw his camera into some water. Jay Z allegedly told the bodyguard to throw the cameraman into the water. (Croatian Times)
Lil Wayne's bodyguard also found himself in legal heat after recently having a police report filed against him following a concert last week when a fight broke out near the rapper's tour bus.
Cops arrived to the scene and broke things up -- but we've learned a 15-year-old boy has since filed a police report claiming one of Wayne's bodyguards roughed him up during the chaos, bruising a few of his ribs. Cops interviewed Wayne at a nearby hotel after the incident, where the rapper told cops he was on one of the buses when the attack started -- but his bus took off almost immediately. (Singers Room)
