The hills of Owasso will be alive with the sound of music this Saturday — marching band music, to be precise, as the city hosts the 12th annual Owasso Invitational Marching Band Contest.
Scheduled to begin Saturday morning, bands from around the state will compete for honors from Owasso Stadium at the high school.
Bands entered in the competition include those from Victory Christian, Durant, Tahlequah, Pryor, Tulsa Memorial, Skiatook, Coweta, Stillwater, Bixby, Union, and more.
As in previous years, the city will be offering free shuttle services for those who attend the band competition.
"This is one of the largest band competitions in the state — a qualifying competition, and one which draws literally thousands of people to Owasso," said Chelsea Harkins, economic development director, City of Owasso. "This will be the fourth year that we (the city) have partnered with the school to provide free shuttles for parents, guests, and other attendees (of the contest).
"From 3-7 p.m., there will be three school buses to shuttle people from the competition at the high school to area restaurants and other retail areas in the city," she said.
While shuttling attendees to local business is always beneficial for the economy, Harkins said they are done more as a service for contest attendees.
"We see this as a good guest service as this is a very hectic day for those people — because of all the bands attending and the people who are at the contest, traffic is very hectic," she said. "The shuttles simply help everyone to avoid having to fight the traffic, having to get in an out of their vehicles and try and find a good place to eat or to shop — this helps make the day more enjoyable for everyone."
Owasso's annual Owasso International Marching Band Contest will run through Saturday, Sept. 25.

Pretty surprised that Tony B was the only Ute taken in the NFL Draft. When I saw him go at the end of round 3, I figured there would be at least one other Ute that would be taken in the final four rounds.
Why not? No Matt Martinez? No Conroy Black? No Derrick Shelby?
And yet Utah State had three players drafted, including BOTH of their running backs?
I guess the only consolation is that at least BYU had zero players drafted... though that's not too unusual.
Bergstrom was a surprise going as high as the third round. Most had him pegged as a fourth, fifth or sixth rounder. Good on Tony!
But that's it?
Is Utah State's Robert Wagner really that much better than Martinez? Is Turbin really a better back than Washington's Chris Polk? I have my doubts.
The Draft is a funny thing sometimes. We see all kinds of players get picked -- including some from D2 or even D3 schools -- so why don't proven BCS-caliber players like Martinez, Shelby and Black get called? Martinez busted a lot of heads during his time at the U. Shelby was often a brick wall at the line. Black was a bit inconsistent, but he certainly has NFL talent and size.
The only one I can understand going undrafted is John Cullen. And we all know why.
I suspect the undrafted Utes will make a training camp roster somewhere this season. But for a school that is among the nation's most elite when it comes to offering NFL-grade talent, I was more than a little surprised that only one Ute got the call.
Who could be on the board in the '13 Draft? John White? Star Lotuleilei? Devonte Christopher?

Vintage 1991 Guild Jumbo Jf4-nt (westerly, Ri)
Guild X 700 Stuart Archtop Hollowbody Hollow Jazz Guitar Exquisite
Solid Spruce top, mahogany sides, arched mahogany back. 20 fret neck.
I will be sorry to see this guitar go, it is a perfect example of American precision. I played this guitar daily. It sounds amazing, unbelievable, and the action is very low. I carved a new tusk saddle for this and installed a B-Band pickup system. The darker blond on this guitar and the shape is a head turner. I am military and have orders for Iraq and I just don't want to store this for 6 months, would rather have someone play it. There is only one little nick in it. The little nick is pictured, very tiny and a few small scuffs on the back, barely noticeable. This is a players guitar! It is arch back, so the volume is amazing I use very light strings on this and they are very loud. I have never heard a guitar that sounds this amazing. This is also made in the now closed Westerly Rhode Island Plant. It is an original pre-Fender Guild. My loss is your gain. Neck is perfect and straight.

The logarithm transformation
Inflation adjustment
Inflation adjustment, or "deflation", is accomplished by dividing a monetary time series by a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The deflated series is then said to be measured in "constant dollars," whereas the original series was measured in "nominal dollars" or "current dollars." Inflation is often a significant component of apparent growth in any series measured in dollars (or yen, euros, pesos, etc.). By adjusting for inflation, you uncover the real growth, if any. You also may stabilize the variance of random or seasonal fluctuations and/or highlight cyclical patterns in the data. Inflation-adjustment is not always necessary when dealing with monetary variables--sometimes it is simpler to forecast the data in nominal terms or to use a logarithm transformation for stabilizing the variance--but it is an important tool in the toolkit for analyzing economic data.
The Consumer Price Index is probably the best known US price index, but other price indices may be appropriate for some data. The Producer Price Index and the GDP Implicit Price Deflator are some other commonly used indices, and numerous industry-specific indices are also available. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis compiles a wide array if "chain-type" price indices for various kinds of personal consumption goods. A chain-type index is one that is obtained by chaining together monthly, quarterly, or annual changes in relative prices that are adjusted for changes in the composition of the commodity basket, so as to reflect changes in consumer tastes. (For more details on chain-type indices, see the following article.)
Use of the "correct" price index is important if you are interested in knowing the exact magnitudes of trends in real terms and/or if the relevant price history has undergone sudden jumps or significant changes in trend rather than consistent increases over time. However, deflation by a general-purpose index such as the CPI is often adequate for rough estimates of trends in real terms when doing exploratory data analysis or when fitting a forecasting model that adapts to changing trends anyway. Keep in mind that when you deflate a sales or consumer expenditures series by a general index such as the CPI, you are not necessarily converting from dollars spent to units sold or consumed, rather, you are converting from dollars spent on one type of good to equivalent quantities of other consumer goods (e.g., hamburgers and hot dogs) that could have been purchased with the same money. Sometimes this is of interest in its own right because it reveals growth in relative terms (i.e., relative to the other goods).
Here is a graph of the auto sales in nominal dollars plotted alongside the CPI over the last 25 years, where the CPI has been scaled so that the January 1990 value is 1.0.
Now here is a graph of auto sales divided by (i.e. deflated by) the CPI. Note that much (though not all) of the upward trend has been removed, accentuating the seasonal and cyclical components of the data. The recessionary periods in the mid-1970's, early 1980's, and early 1990's are especially evident:
Notice that to perform the inflation adjustment in Statgraphics, you merely have to type the expression AUTOSALE/CPI as the input variable (assuming that AUTOSALE and CPI are pre-existing variables). If you wanted to perform the same calculation on a spreadsheet, it would look like this:
When looking at descriptions of time series in Economagic or other data sources, the identifier "$" or "dollars" means the series is in nominal dollars (i.e., not inflation-adjusted). An identifier such as "1990 dollars" or "1990 $" means that the series is in constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars, with 1990 taken as the reference point. For modeling purposes, the choice of a reference point doesn't matter, since changing the reference point merely multiplies or divides the whole series by a constant. To move the reference point to a different base year, you would just divide the whole price index series by the current value of the index at the desired reference date. However, the parameters of a model are easier to interpret if the same reference point is used for all inflation adjustments. The thing you wish to avoid at all costs is having some variables which are inflation adjusted and others which aren't: this will introduce apparent nonlinear relationships which are merely artifacts of inconsistent units.
The following spreadsheet illustrates how you could adjust the auto sales series to 1970 dollars instead of 1990 dollars. First, the CPI series is divided through by its original value in January 1970, to obtain a new consumer price index series called CPI70 in which the 1970 value is equal to 1.0. Then the auto sales series is divided by the CPI70 index:
Of course, the graph of the auto sales series in 1970 dollars would look identical to the graph in 1990 dollars: only the axis scale numbers would change.
Finally, remember that inflation adjustment is only appropriate for series which are measured in units of money: if the series is measured in number of widgets produced or hamburgers served or percent interest, it makes no sense to deflate. If a non-monetary series nonetheless shows signs of exponential growth or increasing variance, it may be useful to try a logarithm transformation instead.

When Andre motions inside the slot, Schaub looking out the corner of his eye expects the safety to come to the LoS to get a hand on Andre, or prevent OD from crossing inside & providing a natural pick for Andre.
So I think (no way to really tell & Matt will never say) Matt saw the safety start his motion to the LoS & then lost track of him. He never saw Chancellor open up towards the line, completely turning his back on Andre. If Schaub saw that, he would have recognized the blitz... no way he couldn't. Then he would have checked to the run.
Watching that play, you can't see the run lanes open suggesting we would have picked up the 4 yards. The TE approaches the MIKE like he's going to block, then breaks off into a route at the last minute. But if Matt would have signaled run, that would have been a good block & a big seam.
After reading your WCO instruction manual, I think I have a better understanding of the system. The audibles. It's all in the snap count. One word means the play called in the huddle, another means the back up play.
So this, "Can't audible once the motion is called." is Kubiak falling on the sword. That motion is supposed to help Matt make the call. He just mis-read it
The point of putting a man in motion is to see what the defense does. If you can't audible after seeing what the defense does, why bother?

Name: Mark Hackworth
Resides: Walnut, Calif.
Occupation: self-employed
Favorite Track: Santa Anita
Favorite Wager: Double
Qualifying Site: Derby Wars
How did you first get into horse racing? My parents were weekend players. I actually remember the first time at the racetrack. That memory was from Hollywood Park. It was the last race of the day. I was cheering my mom's $5 exacta box 2-11 (minimum exacta wager in the early 1970s). It came in 2-11 and the #2 was ridden by Donald Pierce. My memory is never that sharp, but that made a lasting impression.
How many times have you previously qualified for the DRF/NTRA NHC? I qualified one other time, 2009.
What is your best finish in a handicapping tournament, and what is your largest tournament payout? I finished first in a Derby Wars contest and have finished first a few times on HPQualify.com.
What wager created the largest payout for you? It was approximately seven years ago at Los Alamitos. I started with $30 and hit the early pick four on a $24 ticket and proceeded to hit each and every rolling pick three, double and late pick 4. It was basically a perfect night that may never happen again.
What is your most memorable horse racing experience? Well, the memory I shared earlier with my parents stands out, but I have a memory of Affirmed winning at Hollywood Park in the late 1970s. I remember trying to see the race because back in those days the racetracks were crowded with people. I can still hear parts of the race call from Harry Henson, "And it is Affirmed in front."
Do you have any interesting hobbies, experiences or past accomplishments that others might find unique or interesting? I enjoy tinkering with vintage Porsches. I have owned several circa 1950s and 60s, early 356 and 911/912 Porsches.
Does anyone else in your family share your enthusiasm as a horseplayer? Yes, both parents still enjoy going to the track, and mom can still take down a "signer" every now and then.
What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? That I have many good friends. I still have friends that date back to the first grade and have made several friends through tournament play.
What would you do with the NHC grand prize if you won? I would probably contact Mr. Bill Baker with Barretts Sales on that Monday. :)

A news item from today mentioned that the Jets placed Josh Mauga on injured reserve and signed Defensive Tackle Dan Muir to take Mauga's place on the roster. Muir is a decent tackle against the run, with very limited pass rushing ability. What stands out about him is his size. He goes 6' 2", 322. That's in addition to our other defensive linemen. Currently on our roster are the following Defensive Linemen:
Quinton Coples 285
Mike DeVito 300
Kenrick Ellis 346
Damon Harrison 340
Sione Pouha 330
Mohammed Wilkerson 315
That is one GIANT, jumbo sized Defensive Line. When Sione Pouha is only your 3rd biggest lineman, you know you've gone big. There is only one true defensive end in that group (Coples), and even he is just as well suited to playing inside as outside.
Contrast that with our Defensive line of only 2 years ago, which looked like this:
DeVito 300
Marcus Dixon 295
Shaun Ellis 285
Vernon Gholston 260
Sione Pouha 330
Trevor Pryce 295
Jason Taylor 255
That team had only one guy OVER 300 pounds; this team has only one guy UNDER 300 pounds. That team had 3 guys in Ellis, Taylor and Gholston who were clear DEs; this team has only one, Coples, and even he may be as well suited to the inside as the outside. That team averaged 287 across the line; this team averages a monstrous 316.
Before this year started there was much talk about the hiring of Dunbar and how it meant we would be transitioning more to 43 fronts. That sounded good, but there seems to be a problem. A 43 front usually requires 2 monster tackles and 2 smaller, lighter, faster ends who specialize in getting to the QB. The pass rush is supposed to be primarily generated by the two Defensive Ends. The 2010 team had Ellis and Taylor in the pass rushing DE role, and while they were not ideal, they could at least pass for a pair of DEs in a 43 front. This year we have Coples and... who? Wilk and DeVito are both classic 34 ends with limited speed. Ellis, Pouha, Harrison and Muir are all clearly tackles. We just don't really have more than one 43 End on the roster. So it would not seem our personnel is particularly well suited to running a 43 front.
On the other hand, while our monstrous line fits very well into a 34 front, our LBs do not. In a 34 front much of the pass rush is expected to come from the outside LBs. But our outside LBs are old and slow and not very good at rushing the passer. In addition, they have become too slow to set the edge well, resulting in serious weakness in defending the run outside the tackles.
We are left with kind of an odd hybrid personnel package, not really suited well to a 43 front due to the lack of smaller, fast edge rushers on the line, and not really suited to a 34 due to the lack of big, fast outside LBs able to rush the passer and set the edge. It is difficult to understand what exactly is the Jets grand design along the front 7. We seem ill suited to play either the 34 or the 43. Neither fish nor fowl, so to speak, but so far, very foul.

With the issuance of the Mercury Air Toxics Standards (MATS) in December 2011, the U.S. EPA has succeeded in passing lasting federal guidelines for mercury air emissions from coal-fired power plants.
The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) employs 2,300 people and operates over 15,500 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines in Nebraska.
As Tropical Storm Isaac, eventually becoming Hurricane Issac, slowly moved across the Gulf Coast en route to the same area of the continental U.S. that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina just seven years prior, electric utilities throughout the Southeast were preparing to respond to widespread power outages.
Water and steam are the lifeblood of any steam-driven power facility, and proper chemistry control is critically important to plant operation, reliability, the bottom line, and especially personnel safety.
It's the largest annual forum for the power generation industry.
This year, Southern Co., the premier energy company serving the Southeast, celebrates its centennial celebration as a holding company.
The most deliberated clean-air rule in U.S. history is also the most misleading.
One of EPA's six common air pollutants is particulate matter (PM); however, particular matter is actually a class of pollutants, which complicates understanding its regulation.
Electric power generators in the U.S. today are making fleet asset decisions that will affect the affordability and reliability of power from all plants for decades to come, and their overwhelming favorite fuel choices for new assets are natural gas and renewables.
More than $10 billion in federal and state R&D tax credits were reported to the IRS in 2009.
For utilities seeking license renewals to extend the operating life of their nuclear power plants, and those wanting to build and operate new plants, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's order, or 'freeze' as it is being referred to, on Aug. 7 may not be the news they wanted to hear.
When it became clear that factors such as new EPA regulations and an excess supply of natural gas were set to drive a significant change in the power generation and transmission industry, it prompted some power companies, including ABB, to make necessary adjustments and create new initiatives to deal with these changes proactively.
Recently enacted Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) will require many coal-fired power generating utilities to significantly reduce their emissions of mercury and other emissions.

I, along with many others am driving on up to WVU and I am trying to figure out which cousins are off limits and which ones I can hit on? Reason I ask is I don't want to split up any families, as you all will surely need to circle the wagons after we drop 62 on ya'll.
On a serious(aka sport related) and non-stereotypical note- was the offensive line just inexperienced, un-motivated, or just outplayed. I turned the game off when Marshall was up by a lot, and then turned it back on as a roommate walked in saying WVU-Marshall OT!!!
Also, how is WVU Special teams coverage. We have a great punt and kick return crew and I wonder if WVU is strong in this suit or not. Thanks!

Postal Exam 710
Study Guide: Yes!
Exam 710, primarily used to fill Data Conversion Operator jobs, consists of two major parts…Clerical Abilities and Verbal Abilities…which are in turn broken down into smaller sections as detailed below:
The first half of the exam, Clerical Abilities, consists of the following four timed sections:
- Sequencing: Each question in this section is a list of four names or codes in alphabetic and/or numeric order. You are given a fifth name or code, and told to find where this fifth name or code should alphabetically and/or numerically fit into the list. This may not sound too very difficult until you discover that they give you only 3 minutes to answer 20 questions. This means that you have only 9 seconds per question to find the answer and then mark it on your answer sheet. The speed required is incredible. Most people are lucky to finish half the questions the first time they try. Success on this section calls for extensive and realistic practice to master the skills and speed required.
- Comparison: Each question in this section is a list of three items (names, addresses, codes, etc.) that are either exactly alike or at least very similar. You are to compare the three items to see if they are exactly alike or if they are different in any way. Then you are to mark your answers as follows:
- A) If all three items are exactly alike.
- B) If only the first and second items are exactly alike.
- C) If only the first and third items are exactly alike.
- D) If only the second and third items are exactly alike.
- E) If all three items are different.
You've never experienced utter confusion until trying to answer the 30 questions in this section within the 5 minutes allowed. This means that you have only 10 seconds per question. The really confusing and time consuming part is having to refer back to the instructions again and again after looking at each question so you can figure out which answer choice to mark. As before, most people are lucky to finish about half the questions the first time they try. And again, success calls for extensive practice with up-to-date and authentic practice tests to master the skills and speed required.
- Spelling: In this section you are given 3 minutes to answer 20 questions, which is 9 seconds per question. Answer choices A, B, and C are possible ways to spell a particular word, and answer choice D is "None of the above". Of course, the words they give you are the most difficult ones you can imagine. To succeed on this section, you need to (1) review basic spelling principles and (2) study a lengthy compilation of commonly misspelled words and words that do not follow normal spelling principles.
- Mathematics: In this section you have 8 minutes to solve 15 math problems, and you will wish that you had more than twice that much time. This is pure math…addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, whole numbers, decimals, fractions, percentages, etc. You do it the old fashioned way with pencil and paper. No calculators are allowed! Success on this section calls for a refresher course on math principles and extensive realistic practice.
The second half of the exam, Verbal Abilities, you are given a single 50 minute period to answer 55 questions broken down into the following three sections.
- Following Written Instructions: The Postal Service claims that this section tests your ability to understand instructions similar to those you might receive on the job. However, we cannot believe that any sane human being would ever give you instructions as strange, convoluted, and confusing as the wording of these 20 questions. Plus, in order to answer a question correctly, you must accomplish three steps as outlined below:
- First you must create a preliminary answer based upon the wording of the question. The preliminary answer will be a letter and a number put together like this: T 5
- Then, you must look up the preliminary answer on a table provided on the exam to find its correlating answer choice (A, B, C, D, or E).
- Finally, you darken the proper answer choice (A, B, C, D, or E) on your answer sheet.
Many applicants fail this section completely because they never really understand how to find and mark the correct answer. Success on this section calls for extensive and realistic practice. Plus, you need detailed instructions to assure that you fully understand how to find and mark the answers.
- Grammar, Usage & Punctuation: In this section, there are 20 questions that deal with the proper use of grammar, words, and punctuation. Success calls for a refresher course on basic grammar, usage, and punctuation principles and extensive practice with up-to-date and authentic sample questions.
- Vocabulary & Reading Comprehension Section: The final section is really two smaller sections merged into one. It consists of two types of questions, Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension, as detailed below.
- Vocabulary Questions For each Vocabulary question you are given a sentence with a particular word highlighted. Then, you are given a list of four words, and you are to choose which most nearly means the same as the highlighted word in the sentence. Success on this section calls for a refresher course on basic vocabulary principles.
- Reading Comprehension Questions: In each Reading Comprehension question you are given a paragraph to read. Then you are given four sentences that are related to the subject of the paragraph. You are to choose the sentence that best supports and summarizes the paragraph. Success on this section calls for extensive practice to train yourself to quickly scan paragraphs to determine their meaning and purpose.
Since there are so many different sections on this test, and since the sections are so different from each other, the elements needed for success were outlined as we discussed each section above. But the bottom line is the same for all Postal exams: Successful test preparation requires an effective study guide with realistic practice tests and, in this case, the needed reviews and refresher courses. And that's exactly what is provided in our Postal Exam 710 Quick Course by bestselling author T. W. Parnell.
And here's an interesting bit of trivia…To our knowledge, the only study guide available anywhere for exam 710 is our Postal Exam 710 Quick Course. To the best of our knowledge, no other author or publisher offers test prep materials for exam 710. You see, there is not tremendous demand for 710 study guides because this test is only offered at a few sites across the country. Frankly, most publishers don't believe that there is enough demand to justify cost of creating a guide for this exam.
Pathfinder, however, enjoys great relationships with the various Postal labor unions. Based upon the success that their members had experienced with our other guides, several years ago the largest of these unions asked us to create a study guide for exam 710. We could hardly decline such a request, and in short order Pathfinder published the first version of the Postal Exam 710 Quick Course. Union members and applicants from the public have used this guide with great success ever since.

News: Snoop Gets Live, Unleashes His 'Zilla To The Masses
Tuesday, Oct 22, 2013 5:28PM
West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg is showing his transformation into "Snoopzilla" is no joke and proved his rap alias is legit after appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week.
During his appearance, Snoopzilla teamed with music sidekick Dam-Funk to perform their new "Do My Thang."
Snoop Dogg brought his latest reincarnation Snoopzilla to life on Monday night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The hip-hop superstar, who celebrated his 42nd birthday over the weekend, teamed up with Dam-Funk to debut their new group 7 Days of Funk. With some help from a live band and Bishop Don Juan, they performed their first single "Faden Away" and another new song called "Do My Thang." Snoopzilla, whose name was inspired by Bootsy Collins's moniker Bootzilla, also sat down to discuss how many blunts he smokes per day ("It's probably about 75 now"), his cooking specialties (Chef Boyar-D-O-Double-G), and his no guns allowed stance. (Rap-Up)
Buzz behind Snoop changing up his hip-hop alias to "Snoopzilla" surfaced last week.
First he was Snoop Dogg, then he was reincarnated as Snoop Lion and now he's rechristened himself Snoopzilla for 7 Days of Funk, a new collaborative project with groove singer Dam-Funk. The duo released the album's first official single, "Faden Away," today on iTunes and are set to release an album, also titled 7 Days of Funk, on December 10th on Stones Throw Records. "We're the babies of the Mothership," Snoopzilla said in a statement. "I've had funk influences in my music my whole career. Dam-Funk is cold. He's keeping the funk alive and I knew I had to get down with him." (Rolling Stone)
Snoop's newest music sidekick, Dam-Funk, recently discussed their upcoming project.
Snoop and Dam-Funk first paired in 2011, when the rapper-singer invited the funk vocalist onstage for a performance at SXSW. 7 Days of Funk will feature cameos from Snoop's Tha Dogg Pound cohorts Daz and Kurupt and drummer-singer Steve Arrington, a recent Dam-Funk collaborator. "Snoop knew what I was thinking without me having to articulate it," Dam-Funk added in the same statement. "That's how you know when you gel artistically with someone. These beats were made for him and he laid down some of the smoothest harmonies and melodies I've ever heard. It's hip-hop, but you can also hear what we grew up on, from Zapp to Evelyn 'Champagne' King and Patrice Rushen." (Rolling Stone)
Last year, the West Coast rap vet revealed Dr. Dre's initial reaction to his "Snoop Lion" alias.
"He would see me come to rehearsals with all of my Rastafari, my gear, my hair, my look. He was just peeping me out, and I let him know I was doing a reggae project and working on the album and whatnot, but he didn't really understand it until 'La La La' came out," Snoop told MTV News. "La La La," the first single from Reincarnated, which Snoop released July 20, marked a new chapter in his musical career, though he has always infused reggae lingo in tracks like the 1992 Dr. Dre track "The Day the N---az Took Over" and his 1993 album cut "Pump Pump." (MTV)

8/31/02 - A Hearty Middle Finger to the National Association of Broadcasters [link to this story]
Guess who stopped in this week for a look-see:
I'd just like to personally say hello to our visitors from the NAB and wish them a rambunctious time in Seattle come mid-September. Since the cat's out of the bag, anyone heading there for the festivities should practice appropriate levels of personal and group security, as you may never know just who may be listening in on what you have to say.
When you stick a few thousand radio industry types in one place, you're bound to end up with a handful of pirate-hating chumps who find the hunt arousing: freedom of speech is not the NAB's strong suit, unless it suits their agenda of the moment. And you can bet Seattle's finest field agents have been alerted as well. Tactics will be key.8/22/02 - Michael Powell Wants Regulatory Slaughter, New Microradio Documentary in the Works, Interesting Uses for LPFM [link to this story]
The FCC's Spectrum Policy Task Force has just wrapped up a series of four "workshops" on how best the agency can divvy up our electromagnetic spectrum.
In remarks at the closing workshop (held Aug. 9), FCC Chairman Michael Powell outlined four goals he wants to see the FCC work toward when it comes to managing spectrum. Goal #2 is the one that almost made me lose my lunch:
Let me repeat Powell's last sentiment, as it bears noting twice - "He said that the 'laborious process' of government command and control 'has served the country well to this point, but is futilely too slow to rapidly move things to new and better innovative uses.'"
Now, we've known all along that Powell has been a big supporter of deregulation, and that he would further advance the business-friendly policies that have led the media to the state it's in today. But what Powell's suggesting here is a wholesale replacement of what little regulatory structure there is with market-run-rampant mechanisms. Doing so on such a core function of the FCC - spectrum management issues - means he's much more dangerous when we first thought.
You'd think watching the telecom industry implode would register with Mikey Powell, possibly making him re-think the "market knows best" mantra that he so fervently subscribes to. Alas, it is not to be. All the more reason to redouble direct action efforts to reclaim our airwaves, as it appears that's the only thing the FCC will take notice of.
On that front, a new documentary on the West Coast microradio scene is forthcoming: "Stealing Air" features footage and soundbites from many of microradio's notable stations like Freak Radio Santa Cruz, San Francisco Liberation Radio and Free Radio Berkeley. No word yet on when it will actually be released, so stay tuned....
The FCC's LPFM plan continues to crawl along, with new construction permits (and some actual LPFM licenses) trickling out of the agency almost every month. Some are exploiting loopholes in the plan, like the stations in Ohio, Florida and Indiana which are apparently simulcasting full-power radio stations. Then there's Waverly Light and Power, a municipal-owned utility company in Waverly, Iowa, who has received a construction permit for an LPFM station on 96.9. It plans to use the station for "energy education, interviews with community leaders, and call-in programs." Hey, it beats looped traffic reports!
8/1/02 - A/V Archive Unleashed, Launch Imminent, Random Notes [link to this story]
I hereby present to you the Audio Library, which contains more than four gigabytes of material. In addition to 40+ hours of shortwave pirate clips (many new to the 'net), featured MP3s and all things Mbanna, there's some worthy video for you to check out as well.
Examples include "Free Radio: A Video Documentary" and "Evil Empire," an oldie but still goodie, especially with the pending NAB radio convention in Seattle (just a month and a half away) and Clear Channel's recent higher-than-usual public visibility.
Remember: this stuff just represents what was previously encoded, plus a backlog of stuff I hadn't gotten to putting online yet. And we haven't even gotten to media collage! Based on this, it's feeling about time to officially "launch" DIYmedia, which means getting back into the real swing of things, with regular updates and the like. Look for that to happen within a week or so, once we get a few more essentials online.
In the meantime, some notes of interest:
The public comment period for the FCC's proceeding on AM digital radio standards expired in mid-July, and REC Networks has compiled a great summary of many of the comments filed in opposition to the misguidedness of IBOC DAB.
Floridia amateur radio operator Robert Birdsey has filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC to delete certain sections of the Code of Federal Regulations that prohibit hams from broadcasting. In his petition (RM-10492), he argues that the blanket prohibitions of broadcasting on ham frequencies "are in clear violation of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech and should be deleted immediately." You can file comments on the petition by using the FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System (just mention RM-10492 in the "Proceeding" window).
And it wouldn't be right to go without first giving kudos to the tenacious folks at Boulder Free Radio, who have dodged yet another bullet from the FCC by setting up a network of transmitting locations and a pretty bulletproof system for keeping those involved with the station nice and anonymous. It's had the effect so far of keeping the FCC field agents (especially Jon Sprague from Denver's FCC office) coming back to Boulder - but leaving empty-handed.
Now THAT'S the way to play cat-and-mouse!

Note on Box Office
We are currently trying to verify the reported rental figure for All About Eve. While we believe it to be a reasonable estimate, the movie does not show up in Variety's 1980 list of movies with more than $4 million in theatrical rentals. If we find the original source, we will update our numbers.

During the holidays, families everywhere dream of making the perfect cookies. Then flour goes everywhere, the dough sticks and the cookies are uneven. Houston bond broker turned inventor, Susan Butler, says she has the solution.
She's just invented "The Cookie Thing," a roller with four different sized measuring boards made out of maple wood.
"The 1/4 inch is very commonly used for all cookies. Some people like their cookies crisp so you could do 1/8th of an inch. The 1/8th of an inch is the greatest because I've seen more people make pies now who never made pies before," said Butler.
Butler came up with the idea while teaching underserved women how to bake for profit. She looked and looked but couldn't find the right tool for both size and taste until Butler's husband made her idea come to life.
"It is a solution for that. It is also a solution for making the cookie taste better because when you dont use too much flour and you don't roll too much, you let the gluten relax and the cookie will be light and delicate," said Butler.
Butler is now getting national recognition from places like Williams Sonoma and The Food Network.
"What I'd really love to do is sell the license and get the royalities to give back to charity because that way I can continue doing what i'm donig. I can feel good knowing not only did I help them bake but I continued to help other underserved people with the product."

"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"The photo of my son came out perfectly! I'm so impressed with the detail and I'm looking forward to writing many thank you notes!!"
"I love this card design. I previously ordered the Silly Sketch Birthday Invitation. The thank you card was just as beautitul. It is bright and festive and at the same time clean and simple."
"I received a very thorough note back from the design reviewer in response to a question I had about the photo quality. I also received my order faster than I expected, which helped me get my thank you's out sooner!"
"These cards are absolutely beautiful! They were "thank you" cards for our daughter's 1st birthday ~ with her one year portrait as the picture. They are much nicer than I had expected ~ the quality of the thick paper is amazing, the printed colors of the photo were crisp and bright. We received numerous compliments on these cards. These cards are awesome! Highly recommended!"

Lubbock Police are looking for a woman they say has ripped people off with what's called the "Latin Lotto Scam." In the scam, two Hispanic people tell someone they can't cash a winning lotto ticket because they are not citizens, so they convince their victim to give them money in exchange for the ticket, and then promise to split the winnings. The scam has taken people for as much as $27,000 in Lubbock.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic woman in her 40s. Police say that she has black hair, brown eyes, and a medium complexion.
If you think you've seen the suspect, you can call Crime Line at (806) 741-1000.

What AT-command I shall use to get the state of the phone.
When the standard AT+CPAS is not implemented I want to find another command
to know if the pone is IDLE, CALLING, CONNECTED and so on. I have the
specification but I can't find a command for this. I can hardly believe that
it is not be possible to ask or be notified when the state change on a Nokia
I'm sure that Nokia has proprietary commands like the Ericsson, Siemens and
Option has on their phones.
On the Ericsson phones you set
And you got an unsolicited command
AT*ECAV when the state change (Idle, Calling, Connecting, Active, Hold,
Waiting, Alerting, Busy)
Please let me know to solve this on a Nokia phone (6310i).

Extending the newsletter module
29 April 2009 at 3:22am
I am working on a website these days, for that I want to extend to Newsletter module mainly the newsletter class. The point is this, I want to add the latest blog posts on the newsletter. Now what I did was that I created a new class which extends the Newsletter. my class looks like this,
class ExtendedNewsletter extends Newsletter{
function pages(){
return DataObject::get("Page");
And I added this code in my /mysite/_config.php
Object::useCustomClass('Newsletter', 'ExtendedNewsletter');
now the problem is that whenever I create a new draft it creates a Newsletter Object, not a ExtendedNewsletter. Anyone can tell me what is wrong here, and do I need to use a DataObject decorater instead of extending the Newsletter class?

What you're doing should work but it doesn't since they've hardcoded the class names in NewsletterAdmin.php. You basically have to rewrite NewsletterAdmin to call Object::getCustomClass(); to make sure it gets the right classes instead of the class names that have been hard coded in there.
I will probably be making these changes myself but I have already changed some stuff in the module to allow for multiple users without sharing newsletter types and automatic newsletter group generation for each newsletter type.

Did anybody figure out how to extend the Newsletter module until now ? need to extend newletter as well. I need to make the generation of Mailinglists more flexible. For example get all Members as Recipiants which Gender is female.
thanks for help in advance!

Me too. Looking to add some fields to the newsletter. By randomly hacking around in the NewsletterAdmin I've managed to get my extended newsletter to appear but I really don't know what I'm doing.
Have tried a number of ways but none very fruitful. It's a bit sad that this module seems to be a little neglected - it could be so useful with some customisability! Anyone got anywhere?

HUDSON (WKOW) -- Prosecutors say the man who killed his three daughters in River Falls last July did it to hurt his ex-wife.
The motive came up for the first time during a pretrial hearing Wednesday. Aaron Schaffhausen faces three counts of first-degree intentional homicide for the deaths of 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia. All three girls were tucked into bed with their throats slit.
During the pretrial hearing, a judge told Schaffhausen's attorney he has until December 14 to file a motion to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. He has until Dec. 28 to request a change of venue.
If convicted, Schaffhausen faces mandatory life in prison. However, the judge could grant him a chance at parole.

Okuma America Corp. recently announced the availability of Turn-Cut as a programming option for its horizontal machining centers (HMC) to cut bores and diameters with circular or angular features — or both — thus eliminating the need for special-purpose machinery such as lathes, fixtures, components, or special tooling.
The technology isn't brand new. YouTube videos of machine shops using Turn-Cut have been posted since at least the beginning of 2012, and Okuma has reportedly been working on this feature for a decade.
Nevertheless, Turn-Cut is useful for many types of parts, especially valves, pipes, and manifolds, in high-growth industries such as oil and gas, automotive, and aerospace, along with mold and die, water treatment, heavy equipment, and plumbing components.
It uses Okuma-developed mechatronics and standard tooling to create inner- or outer-diameter (ID/OD) surfaces on stationary workpieces, including large and unbalanced parts.
The key to Turn-Cut is that the operation, activated by a G-code in the machining system's program, synchronizes the circular motion of the X and Y feed axes with the spindle's turning angle to maintain position control of the tool tip, keeping it on the programmed cutting path and perpendicular to the workpiece face.
According to details released by Okuma, the program is commanded in much the same way as a CNC lathe with a Z-X turning program. "The cross-section configuration is commanded with Z-X" and "the X-axis is commanded with the radius of X-Y in a continuous circular motion." These movements are what enables the machine tool to horizontally cut cylindrical workpieces and achieve ID/OD turning, facing, grooving and taper operations, machining of different diameters with one tool, machining of tapered holes, and machining IDs/ODs that exceed the largest tool diameter available, the company adds.
Okuma says the addition of the Turn-Cut function does not affect HMC machine performance and does, it claims, enable more consistent machining operations whether or not it is activated. Since it uses standard fixturing and tools, and additional work can now be done on the HMC, setup times are, moreover, reduced.
(Sandvik Coromant worked with Okuma on Turn-Cut's research and development and realized the cutting tools for many applications.)
Okuma applies its own CNC and motion-control systems to Turn-Cut. These are usually designed to match the parameters of its HMC models. The company also provides a control technology called Thermal Active Stability, which monitors temperature fluctuations in key areas and makes adjustments to minimize "thermal growth" and maintain machining accuracy.
To run the Turn-Cut, several additions are necessary. These include an Abso-scale, for high-precision (0.05 micron) machining accuracy, an all-axis ball-screw cooling system, and Super-NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline), a high-speed CNC function that Okuma says achieves machining accuracy and product quality in half the time of conventional technology. Super-NURBS is said to be desirable for complex shapes or where major diameter changes occur in short linear distances.
Here is an Okuma video of Turn-Cut, posted on YouTube.
Videos of the system that have been posted by other companies are accessible by doing a Google search for "Okuma Turn-Cut System."

House speaker Philip Gunn is under fire for hosting a private dinner at the state Capitol with top members of the Mississippi Republican Party.
We got a tip that the gathering was happening Monday night on the third floor in the speaker's office.
We found out that the dinner guests included some of the founders of the Republican party, including businessmen Billy Mounger, Wirt Yerger and Billy Powell, who once headed the state GOP.
Over the years, Mounger and Yerger have each donated at least $2,000 to Gunn's political campaigns.
The speaker admitted he'd received donations from his dinner guests, but he insists the event was a get-together for friends.
Democrat Brandon Jones believes Gunn's private dinner is unseemly because it gives the impression that access to the speaker's office is for sale to the highest bidder.
According to a spokesman for the speaker, Gunn paid for the meal, which included shrimp and grits, fruit salad and creme brulee, with his own personal funds.

I too was looking at buying a new DSLR but not now. I just sold a 40D and T3i in anticipation of snagging a 6D or 5DMK III.
Have you looked into Canon USA's refurbed units with 1 year factory warranty and 20% off MAP? 6Ds are available last time I checked.
Call Canon and ask about they loyalty program. You send in an old film canon camera that you bought off craigslist for $10 (or I'll sell you one for $10), and they give you 20% off the refurb price. Not all bodies are available... but I think the mkiii and the 6d are now... but I havne't really checked in a while because I have my body and I hopefully won't be upgrading for many years now.
Loyalty discount is only 10% on the 6D and 5D3. I called a couple months back. They also charge sales tax in all but 4 states I believe.

Free wi-fi coming to London
Two-month pilot begins today
The scheme, backed by Nokia and wi-fi service provider Spectrum Interactive, is the first of its type in the UK that's aiming to make it easier for people to access online services on the move and completely for free.
Internet access will be initially available at 26 street hotspots from 1st November until the end of the year, to test consumer demand and browsing behaviour in the capital. The findings will then be used to determine the best locations for future hotspots, and how much bandwidth is needed to support demand.
Hotspots will be installed in streetside phone boxes in areas including Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road, Knightsbridge, Westminster and Marylebone, and will support access speeds of up to 20Mbps.
If the trial is successful, the plan is for a larger scale roll out across all of London in early 2012.
We spoke to Ernest Doku, tech expert at uSwitch.com, who seemed positive about the scheme.
"To bring free, easy-to-access wireless connectivity to the capital has long been the wish of many, and is a shrewd move to get Nokia back on everyone's lips for more than a range of new mobiles," he said.
"With our own StreetStats 3G data showing that mobile coverage in the centre of London is still very prone to 'notspots' when it comes to data services, the offer of a fast, always-on connection for browsing, email and even downloading content at speeds of 1Mbps sounds almost too good to be true.
"Whilst only a two-month trial and covering a narrow band of the city, the wealth of data that both Nokia and Spectrum can gather may well put them in a strong position to make the dream of London-wide wi-fi in time for the Olympics a reality."
What do you think to the scheme? Would you use it if it came to your hometown? Leave us your thoughts below.
"Free" is a good start to get a consumer (potential revenue customer) into using a product. In this case Free Wi-Fi, chances of Nokia or Whoever giving it free is possible provided that they get more than free in return. For Nokia this could another platform for Adverts (revenue), Government Notices, Security Alerts to public, Road or Congestion Information, London Tube Live Data Stream, Video or TV on Demand etc.
Today almost all our devices and gadgets etc have built-in Wi-Fi and imagine connecting these gadgets to free always-on Wi-Fi - it will be amazing! you can stay in touch with your friends and families and work-folks in realtime! I am surprised why BT did not come-up with this initiative! Well there is nothing free from BT!
This is another free trial in a big city that has good broadband speeds .why not try this in a village like the one i live in. we are lucky to get 0.3meg but BT abd other companys dont seem intrested in us,even cable byepassed us,the goverment says that every one should get braodband but not us in need only those how have a good connection allready.
This may just be a plan for fast and free internet service for the duration of the 2112 Olympics in London and not a plan that is likely to be rolled out across the UK.
To date the history of internet service in the UK has been a bit of a "mixed bag", "postcode lottery", "population based " , and "whatever" affair.
Security is the big issue here. Anyone and everyone must be made aware of its importance and how to protect themselves correctly or face the consequences and i'm sure that Nokia and Spectrum will be gathering more than just data for their London dream.

American People Aren't Ready for China
Peter Harris, The National Interest
The Associated Press
The last time the world witnessed a power transition of truly hegemonic proportions was when the United States overtook the British Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although sometimes blind to the absolute dimensions of Britain's decline, there is no question that officials in London were keenly aware of the United States' relative increases in power from at least the 1890s onwards. Early on, London undertook not only to acquiesce to America's rise but to actively promote it in certain areas. This policy of appeasement is evident in several foreign-policy moves made by London—for example, its deference to the U.S. over the Venezuela Dispute of 1895 and its diplomatic support for Washington during the Spanish-American War three years later.

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Technology WriterMENLO PARK, CA (AP) -- Facebook is unveiling a new experience for Android phones. The idea behind the new Home service is to bring content right to you, on the phone's home screen, rather than require you to check apps on the device.The event comes amid rapid growth in the number of people who access Facebook from smartphones and tablet computers. More Android integration could help Facebook Inc. attract more mobile advertisers. Though mobile ads were a big concern for Facebook's investors even before the company's initial public offering last May, some of the worry has subsided as the company muscles its way into the market.Last year, Facebook began showing ads to its mobile audience by shoehorning corporate-sponsored content into users' news feeds, which also include updates from friends and brands they follow. Facebook now faces the challenge of showing people mobile ads without annoying or alienating them.Facebook's event was being held at its headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.Here's a running account of Facebook's event, presented in reverse chronological order. All times are PDT. Presenters include CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Adam Mosseri, director of products; Joey Flynn, product designer. Also appearing were HTC's CEO and AT&T's head of wireless. A question-and-answer session followed the main presentation, which lasted about 45 minutes.11:15 a.m.More details are emerging on the new HTC phone. Called First, it will run on Android 4.1, also known as Jelly Bean. It will come with the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app Instagram already installed. Cost is $100 with a two-year service agreement. The new device will have a screen that measures 4.3 inches diagonally.
The April 12 sale date happens to be when the iPhone 5 becomes available through T-Mobile.
11:05 a.m.Home will be limited to phones running the Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean versions of Android. That's version 4.0 and later. That covers phones made or updated over the past year or so.Initially, the app will be limited to specific Android models - about a half-dozen of them, including Samsung Electronic Co.'s Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2. It will also work on the upcoming Galaxy S IV. In addition, HTC Corp.'s upcoming First phone will come with Home.It's not immediately clear what happens if you have Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean but not one of the models listed.11 a.m.Mosseri says ads will eventually come to this new service. It will be interspersed among the items displayed on the home screen, the way Facebook now injects ads into the main news feed showing friends' photos, links and other posts. But in this case, the ads will take up the entire display.
10:55 a.m.The new Home service won't be available on Apple's iPhone and iPad devices. Apple's iOS and Mac operating systems include features that integrate Facebook's services, but Zuckerberg says doing something like Home would require a closer partnership.By contrast, Google makes its Android operating system available on an open-source basis, free for anyone to modify, so it's easier to make changes. That said, Facebook makes it clear it's not making a new version of Android, a practice known as forking. Home is being built on top of Android.10:50 a.m.Minutes after the event ends, Facebook's stock is up 74 cents, or 2.8 percent, at $26.99.10:45 a.m.Zuckerberg closes the event by expressing his vision of the future, one where people have smartphones and tablet computers rather than desktops and laptops. He says there will be people who have never seen what we call computers these days.He says Home feeds into that vision.10:40 a.m.While people will be able to install Home themselves, some phone makers will build Home into the phones. HTC Corp. is releasing a phone called First. It will come in four colors - red, light blue, white and black. It will run on AT&T Inc.'s 4G LTE cellular network and go on sale April 12 for $100, with advance orders to begin Thursday. A two-year service agreement is required.10:35 a.m.To get Home, simply go to Google's online Play store when it's available. Those with Facebook apps on the phone already will get a prompt to download it. The software will be updated with new features monthly.It will be available April 12 on certain phones initially.Facebook isn't making Home for tablet devices for several months, though.Zuckerberg tells the audience, "We are really proud of Home and we are excited to get (it) into your hands. We think this is the best version of Facebook there is."10:30 a.m.Flynn unveils a feature called chat heads. The idea is to let you communicate with your friends from that home screen, without needing to open an app. You can chat with multiple people at once that way.10:25 a.m.Mosseri describes one of the main features of the new service. It's called cover feed.He notes that when people look at their phones now, they typically see a clock and perhaps the snippet of an email. That will change if you have the Home service activated. As soon as you turn on your phone, you'll see photos. You can swipe from one to the next from the home screen.10:20 a.m.The new service is called Home. Pictures from your Facebook news feed would take up the entire display screen. Zuckerberg says you'll be seeing the world through people rather than apps.He gives an example of standing in line at a store and looking down at the phone to see photos of friends and family. It'll be possible to flip through the items. If there's something you like, just double tap on it to "like" it. You can also add comments from the home screen.With this, Facebook doesn't believe you'll need to go to the Facebook app any more.
10:15 a.m.Zuckerberg says Facebook isn't building a Facebook phone, saying a Facebook-centered device might sell 10 million to 20 million units at best. Rather, it's building on the existing Android system to bring this experience to a wider group of Android users.10:10 a.m.Zuckerberg talks about a new way to approach Facebook on phones.He asks, "Why do we need to go into all the apps in the first place to see what is going on with the people we care about?" Better, he says, is to have that experience come right to the home screen, so you're always knowing what is going on around you.He makes a comparison to the company's news feed feature, which brought friends' posts to a centralized place and reduced the need for people to check their friends' profile pages one by one.10:05 a.m.Zuckerberg walks on stage and addresses the rumors head on: "Today, we're finally going to talk about that Facebook phone."He then adds that more specifically, Facebook will talk about turning the Android phone into a simple, social device.

News: BREAKING: Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s Win Streak Continues, Undefeated Record Remains Intact
Sunday, Sep 15, 2013 1:29AM
Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has taken down previously undefeated boxer Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in a heated Las Vegas battle that took a full 12 rounds with no knockouts.
While Canelo managed to land ample punches on Floyd, Mayweather's record remains untouched after receiving a majority decision.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. outclassed the younger Saul "Canelo" Alvarez by majority decision Saturday night, out-jabbing, out-working and out-moving the Mexican star. Judge C.J. Ross questionably scored the bout 114-114, but judge Dave Moretti had it 116-112 for Mayweather Jr. and Canadian judge Craig Metcalfe had it 117-111 for the now 45-0 Mayweather. Mayweather, 36, repeatedly beat the 23-year old Alvarez (42-1-1) to take his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Assn. lightmiddleweight belts, saying afterward it was one of his finest performances. "He's very elusive," Alvarez said. "Very intelligent, frustration was getting in there. He's a great fighter." (Los Angeles Times)
Young Money boss Lil Wayne and pop star Justin Bieber escorted Floyd to the ring Saturday (September 14) night.

According to reports, Mayweather will receive a guaranteed $41.5 million from the fight and most likely up to $350 million when the extra payouts are tallied up.
Floyd Mayweather puts his legacy and undefeated record on the line Saturday night when he steps into the ring against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Mayweather will receive a record guarantee of $41.5 million (Canelo is due $5 million) and is in line for a total payout millions more after all of the pay-per-view receipts are counted and "Money" Mayweather takes his cut. In a 17-year career full of monster paydays, it will be the biggest one yet, topping the $45 million, including his share of PPV revenue, for fighting Miguel Cotto in 2012. Mayweather's cumulative earnings will likely hit $350 million with the Canelo fight. (Forbes)
Back in May, fallen boxer Manny Pacquiao said his career was far from over and wanted to prove he could take down Money Mayweather.
During a recent interview with ANC, the English news channel of Filipino TV station ABS-CBN, Manny Pacquiao called Floyd Mayweather Jr. "cocky, boastful," and claimed that Juan Manuel Marquez landed a "lucky punch" during their fight in December. "For us, Mayweather is cocky, boastful," said Pacquiao, who turns 35 in December and whose differences with Mayweather over random drug testing contributed to failed negotiations for a megabout between the two. "I can prove to him I can still win. I lost to Marquez but it's just a lucky punch, just part of the game. I was not dominated. If he wants to fight, let's fight." (Ring TV)
A few days prior, Floyd revealed what it would take for him to cave into Pacquiao's desire to fight.
"Everybody's like, 'Aw, Pacquiao,' but I'm just letting you know he's not getting a fight with me," Mayweather said. "The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions. If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight. That's how it is working now, because the ball is in my court. The ball has been in my court. I have been the A side." (Yahoo Sports)
Earlier this year, G-Unit head 50 Cent said Mayweather walked away from an opprotunity to bank at least $100 million to fight Manny.
"Yes, he did duck the fight, that's $100 million and you just left it," 50 Cent explained. "I mean for two reasons - I think he concentrates on how much someone else is getting paid as opposed to how much he's actually getting paid and then I think he kind of sees himself in a space that no one else sees himself in, that he's so high on top of it that he shouldn't give some of other great fighters a chance to be in that position at this point. It is true, he could fight a cab driver and we would be tuned into it. ... He's not afraid of Pacquiao or any fighter. I think it's more of him saying, 'Who do I have to fight?' At this point, it's more about him finding the perfect opponent..." (First Take)

Plenty of Hopes for the hospice
8:37am Tuesday 22nd May 2012 in Burnley By Matt Donlan, Sports reporter
TWO of Lowerhouse's cricketing Hope family are set to walk for 12 miles and take in 11 pubs in a bid to raise money for the Pendleside Hospice.
Nick Hope, who played 225 games for the House, and brother Jez, who took to the field 346 times, are setting off on the stroll around the Pendle countryside next month and are appealing for sponsors.
Nick, 46, is relishing the walk, which takes place on the reserve date for the second round of the Worsley Cup on Saturday, June 16, and is more than happy to boost the coffers of the Reedley-based hospice.
"The lure of a lovely 12-mile walk around the Pendle countryside was an opportunity too good to miss," he said. "And to raise money for such a worthwhile and fantastic cause was just the icing on the cake.
"I am sure that most people are aware of the care and comfort the hospice brings to its patients and families alike during the most difficult times and of the £3.5 million pounds it takes to run the hospice only 25 per cent of this is funded by the local Primary Care Trust, the rest has to be self generated."

Recently, with so much joy, I watched a dear friend of mine turn forty. Forty. Such a milestone! I picture forty as standing on a precipice of Mont Blanc, as you look back you see all the pages of the life you have lived, the little mistakes, the big victories, all the dalliances, pains and joys that have softened your hard edges and just somehow made you softer, wiser, and perhaps nicer than you were at twenty. Hopefully we all become a little less opinionated and a little more forgiving because all we have lived will create the enlightened us of forty. And women always seem more in tune with themselves, more loving and somehow at their most beautiful at forty. Don't you think?
As the woman of forty turns her view opposite, forward, she will see all the blank pages of her life story yet to be lived, experienced and written. She will intertwine the lessons, the histories, of the first forty years and in the second forty weave it into a more colorful, gorgeous tapestry of a life, a tapestry befitting royalty, a life, a love of those around them, a dedication written in the hearts of all those they have touched. You have already lovingly touched a soft piece of my heart, etched your name deeply, permanently there, my dear friend Mila. I am honored to see the beautiful you of forty, and will be equally honored to travel a few more steps with you as you live your history, as you continue to write your pages, my words dispersed in small snippets through your wonderful pages, I am honored to know I have had a small place there, even if only for the brief moments of letters written on the sand to be erased by the tides of the sea. One day, I may have washed away but at some point, even if only for the waxing and waning of a moon, I am here, I am with you, and I feel joy. Happy Birthday Mila! I hope you like the picture my darling Skip Staheli has made of the *SoliDea FoliEs* "40" dress you so kindly gave to us for your birthday.
On to business. I know this is what my dragon, Draakje Dailey, calls "Cao's version of "Word and Peace."" The International Model Agency is having a "Sydney Fashion Week'" beginning August 17th 2012 through August 22nd, 2012. *SoliDea FoliEs* will be having a show on August 19th, 2012 at 5AM SLT. Above is the gorgeously colorful, unique offering created by Mila Tatham exclusively for this event. It has so much of the exquisite colors and feel of a native aboriginal costume, I just had to have it! Isn't it divine?
I hope you get the chance to support these hard working models by attending the shows. I know I will pop into a few just to see the exclusive apparel these wonderful designers have made! I hope you will too! Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
COLUMBIA, SC (AP) - The State Ethics Commission has opened a public inquiry after receiving a
complaint from a Democrat claiming the Republican Gov. Nikki Haley's campaign
misreported more than $1.3 million in contributions.
A hearing is scheduled for July 18, officials told The Associated Press on
Tuesday. The allegations are detailed in a complaint obtained by The AP and
confirmed by Herb Hayden, executive director of the Commission. They mark the
panel's second consecutive investigation into a sitting South Carolina
The complaint - initially filed in July by Bridget Tripp, an employee of the
state Democratic Party - accuses Haley of misreporting more than $1.3 million
in contributions by failing to maintain proper records of donors' occupations
and not disclosing contributors' addresses.
Candidates are not required to report their donors' occupations but must be
able to furnish a list if requested, Hayden said. Contributors' addresses are
needed in case their identities need to be verified.
The Commission has been investigating Tripp's complaint since last summer,
Hayden said, working with Haley campaign staff to sort out the missing donor
In a March 29 notice, the Commission notified Tripp that it would convene a
July hearing over seven allegations concerning the governor. One count
addresses the failure to keep records of donors' occupations. Six others deal
with individual contributors' addresses; in all, those six donors gave a total
of about $4,000 to Haley's campaign, according to online disclosures.
Hayden said Tuesday that campaign staffers have been able to nail down
addresses for all but two of the contributors, but hundreds of donors'
occupations are still missing.
Tripp asked the Commission to refer the case to Attorney General Alan
Wilson, noting that "Commissioners are appointed by the Governor, the
subject of this complaint. ... By referring the case to the Attorney General,
the Commission can avoid any appearance of bias or impropriety while investigating
the office responsible for their appointment."
Hayden said Tuesday he did not think the investigation into Haley's finances
would rise to the level of possible criminal prosecution, which would trigger a
referral to Wilson's office.
The July 18 hearing will be similar to a trial, at which a panel of three
commissioners will hear arguments from both sides and then determine if laws
were broken. If so, Haley could face possible fines up to $14,000 - $2,000 for
each charge. It will be a closed proceeding unless Haley opts to make it
The investigation is the latest in a string of ethics queries surrounding
the first-term Republican. Last month, a circuit judge dismissed a lawsuit
accusing Haley of breaking ethics laws while she was a legislator, saying such
issues should be handled by either state ethics officials or a legislative
Haley has said she would not waive confidentiality to any legislative ethics
A spokesman for Haley's office referred comment on the ethics commission investigation
to campaign attorney Butch Bowers, who couched the complaint as a political
stunt by state Democrats.
"These are routine matters that occur with virtually every
candidate," Bowers said. "And the only reason a complaint was filed
against Gov. Haley was because she won."
State Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian disagreed, saying South
Carolina residents will have no faith in the state's laws if their own governor
breaks them without consequence.
"Winning doesn't allow you to commit illegal acts to get there. If
being the winner does that, then we don't need an ethics (law)," he said.
"We have a GOP governor, just like Mark Sanford, who can't abide by the
law. When you have the chief executive of the state who can't abide by the law,
why should anybody else?"
Haley's predecessor, Republican Mark Sanford, paid $74,000 in ethics fines -
the largest in state history - after the commission reviewed his use of state
planes, campaign cash and first-class travel after his revelation that he had
an affair with a woman in Argentina.
The man who served as Haley's second-in-command also faced an ethics
investigation, a probe that ultimately resulted in his retreat from office. The
Ethics Commission announced it had begun an investigation into former Lt. Gov.
Ken Ard's campaign finances in February 2011, just three months after the
Republican was elected. A month later, the Commission levied 106 civil
violations against Ard, who agreed to pay $48,400 in fines and reimburse the
state more than $24,000. The state grand jury ultimately indicted Ard with
seven counts of campaign finance crimes, prompting his resignation and guilty
plea, which resulted in a probationary sentence, fines and community service.
South Carolina's governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately and
do not run on the same ticket. Glenn McConnell, former President Pro Tem of the
state Senate, was sworn in as lieutenant governor last month.
