But the double-barreled Kripke-Abrams imprimatur gives Revolution longer legs than others might have, and NBC has pushed a few more chips onto the table at a point in the fall season so early that a number of key shows haven't even premiered yet. Having previously ordered an initial 13 episodes of the series, the network has now upped its order by picking up the so-called back nine. Revolution season 1 will now run 22 episodes, giving the show more time to realize possibilities only hinted at in the feature-film-slick pilot.
This is certainly good news: Revolution deserves a chance to grow into its premise, and Eric Kripke, with J.J. Abrams behind him, can be counted on to flesh out this world and bring forward its inherent problems and dilemmas while the characters and storylines acquire a compelling level of heft. It's pretty good odds that Revolution can pull it off.

I'm glad that Revolution will have a full season. I think there were three main problems with the first few episodes.
1. I think the main character, Charlie, is the least interesting character. Charlie's sole purpose seemed to be as a plot device to connect other, more interesting, characters with each other. Otherwise, Charlie pretty much spends time declaring, "my father's dead; my brother's missing," and adds nothing to the story. Since characters such as Aaron, Rachel, Miles, and Neville are far more interesting, and I hope they are given more prominence in future episodes, and Charlie much less.
2. I think the strengths of Revolution's pre-broadcast promise hinged on the mystery about what happened with electricity, and how societies changed due to the disappearance of electricity. The mystery is going strong, and is a great motivation for me to continue watching the show. What's been shown of the post-electricity societies have been a disappointment. Rather than something new and fresh, they have been rehashes of feudal or post-apocalyptic societies previously shown in numerous movies/TV series.
3. I think the show started too far into the time of no electricity. We see established changes in society, including civil war. However, we only know vague explanations for the how and why of the current society being the way it is. This means . . . more flashbacks. In addition to the ones already shown for the immediate aftermath of the disappearance of electricity. Revolution might become a show cut into thirds: the time immediately after electricity is gone (flashbacks); the time when the country's (world) social structures began to rebuild itself (flashbacks); and the show's now. Too many flashbacks.
Still, I'm rooting for Revolution, and I will continue to watch it.

Im excited to see that Revolution has snagged a full first season. It appears to be promising, but a few coworkers at DISH think that Abrams shouldnt deploy as many mysteries as LOST had. I definitely agree, as LOST had me lost during its fourth seasonfitting title. Ive just recently purchased a Hopper DVR, so I can now take advantage of building shows up for my sweatpants and DVR days. It has a lot of memory, and I can manage my time a lot more efficiently. Cheers to all 22 episodes.
- October 11, 2012 at 6:55 am(3) Naomi says:
Wilson, I agree with the parts of your comment concerning Revolution. For some reason, after reading your post, I began to crave canned spiced ham in aspic.

Need More. It's Highly Addictive. Need it now!
I will watch this show, every episode.

I love this show look forward to Monday nights when it's on on
- November 26, 2012 at 11:48 am(6) Gerrit says:
I find it strange that there are 12 pendants, and 12 Fed Reserve banks. I haven't rechecked the Revolution map to see if the known pendants are in some of those locations. But if they match, I figured out JJ Abrams' pattern!
- December 2, 2012 at 10:47 pm(7) Matt says:
Having just seen the last episode here in Australia I can safely say that I am a fan of the distopian genre. To say that it is just a rehash of fuedal and post-apopolyptic maybe right, however, I feel that the story line here is fresh. Lets recap – Miles was one of the Leaders of the Monroe Militia. Chalrlie his neice. A cause of tension and conflict in later seasons when Miles past is further revealed. Also Charlie now has a Monroe tag on her arm. could be cause for conflict if they ever tie in with the resistence. Furthermore, I believe there were about four other Militia controled territories on a map in Monroe's office that is not including the Indian Nations. So I see that there is a possibility for at least eight to ten seasons in so long as the storylines do npot get too bogged down in too many flashbacks. The character development I like. Especially with a possible romantic link between the son of one of the Monroe Militia's captains and Charlie herself. Bring on Season two
- December 7, 2012 at 5:50 pm(8) Harrison says:
I'm glad you like the show Matt. But I dont think that they need a romeo and Juliet circumstance.
- December 8, 2012 at 9:47 am(9) Dillz says:
Harrison, I second that! I also hope that in the long run, Charlie is gonna stop rotating around her father's death…. She should be given better areas of focus since she seems to be the main character… Big lav!! Looking forward to season 2…….
- December 16, 2012 at 12:23 am(10) cliff says:
This show has so much potential and the directors and writers are using every last bit of it wisely… the show has only aired for a mere 10 episodes and has almost every member of my family , friends and coworkers who watch wanting and waiting for more.
The shows premise may have been done in many ways before, and the nice thing about this is show is they expand and continually build on top of what we have seen in other films and shows.
The character of Charlie may seem a little dull because she is still on the kick of (my mommy and daddy are dead and Danny's gone) but given how much her world has changed in both ways of having to adapt to life without electricity as a little girl to growing up and being responsible for every action she takes. This journey she is on, to save her brother and in the process has to take a life or two and go through hell is one that has kept me watching… and when Charlie came face to face with many foes and had her brother within arms reach only to be torn apart again and than face to face with her mother who was being held captive by the Monroe malita, I would say after all that ordeal I would either be a little withdrawn and closed shell, or a raving lunatic …
The sneak peek at the end of episode 10 was amazing, I really hope everyone gets away from that chopper and to a safe ground without being injured or killed. I want one moment of normalicy for Charlie, but if you want great drama you don't get happy endings until the show ends lol.. anyway NBC will have me and many others as faithful viewers as long as the show keeps up this awesome writing and explores areas that the fans are begging for.
Well I guess its a waiting game for 2013, who knows maybe the show is giving us a heads up as to what to expect in December 21st 2012 lol… I guess if all the power went out it would be the end of the world as almost everyone knows it.
So as long as there's power I will watch this show.
- December 19, 2012 at 8:38 am(11) KB says:
The concept of this series is clever, but, I find myself longing for more of the not-so-fictional human elements of survival if this should ever happen. You never see them eating, going potty, cleansing, finding their supplies, clothing etc. I think it would spark more interest if those"real" survival needs were tied in and probably make the story line more realistic and possibly educational for the survival enthusiists. I don't know where they will go with the story, but I'll be looking forward to maybe meeting Dr. Maggie's kids. I wish the show all the best and I look forward to the next episodes.
- December 24, 2012 at 8:30 pm(12) Horst G Ludwig says:
does anybody care about the viewers input? I am happy to see a second chance for sci fi not that sci fi and I do hope they spice it up a little and get an original flavour into it. The mixture of Robin Hood, post apocalypsis and fringe is a way to follow but there is a deep lack of fantasy and science knowledge while the action scenes are not to bad. It seems to be a low budget production and because of this character play got to improve visible (see the big success of Breaking Bad, low cost production). Nethertheless a survivours society having just left the world of electricity and science got lots of alternate developments to offer. Who are the guys whom switched off electricty power range within the physical scale only heavy solar storm could be a natural cause. Aliens? A experiment? A secret society weapon? Just leave the silly repetition of the US civil war and the obvious, any wild west movie is better than you offer so far.
Revolution is a title not even close to the arguments so far but revolution against something better than humanity would be good to have!
- December 31, 2012 at 6:01 am(13) andy says:
Why have they stopped the running of Revolution after 10 epsiodes, when they wer suppose to be 22, have they pulled the plug or what
- January 3, 2013 at 11:04 am(14) Rob says:
Good question Andy………. They left us hanging. I hope there is more. I find this series much better than Lost. Lost had me lost after the 4th season, that's when I stopped watching it. Way too confusing.
- January 6, 2013 at 8:13 pm(15) Phil says:
I do like that their not afraid to kill off some of the semi-main characters. Was not expecting Maggie to die, I was half waiting for a miracle recovery half expecting a brilliant surgeon/doctor to show up from no where.
Bit different.
- January 28, 2013 at 5:48 pm(16) Dreamslayer says:
I have watched up to episode 10 online, it is a very interesting premise but I have to agree with a few posts that Charlie did seem very 2 dimensional but she has grown somewhat, my main concern is with how quickly the characters are to turn on one another at the drop of a hat and how long it took to hint at steam power, surely some engineers would have survived with the know how to build steam engines and other alternative sources of power.
- February 7, 2013 at 9:32 pm(17) lazerpete says:
I read all your comments. And I agree with most of them.
I also would like to see people learning how to cope and get to where they are. Starting with Pilot and beyond they never have to worry about food, water, medical issues, their cloths are the same, never change, don't get dirty, torn after with all the fighting.They should smell real bad like BO.
I find it interesting that a steam engine can run. what about the rest of the world.What are they doing. Only 12 pendants in the world.what is that huge station up to ( where that black gal is at). Hard to shut power off to the whole world.
I too look forward to the next season when does it start?
- February 18, 2013 at 3:19 am(18) lily says:
I wonder if charlie and jason will get together in season 2. Hope so im realy excited
- March 12, 2013 at 1:23 am(19) Monica says:
Revolution is a great series. It has excitement, drama, and it keeps me at the egde of my seat always wondering what's going to happen next. I think that the veiwer numbers would go up if it previewed a couple weeks before it came back on television. It's one of my favorite television shows. I can't wait for it to come back on nbc.
- March 16, 2013 at 5:03 pm(20) jason says:
when are is episodes 11 + on, awsome os far though.
- March 23, 2013 at 10:06 am(21) TWSU3 says:
Getting a bit boring now. The only thing that ever seems to happen is that they all get into life threatening danger then have to KILL loads of people, some of who are just innocent bystanders, just to save one person, the brother.
Everyone has become a murderer. Even the mother callously stabbed a friend and ex-colleague in the heart, to save the same one person. What? Is he to become the next messiah who is going to lead the world out of hell or something?
So here are some questions that need answering too.
1) If the MoD guy was involved in the switch off, wouldn't the armed forces be ready for this thing and swing into action immediately. Wouldn't that happen anyway? Why were Miles and Munroe sitting around waiting for orders that never came? Wouldn't there be protocols in place for some thing like this eg Thermo Nuclear War – that would also knock out most electrics?
2) The are many devices that run without electricity too, yet it has taken 15 years to get a steam train running? Diesel engines esp. older ones don't need electricity and can run on many different types of oil. Where are those types of vehicles? They can build a sci-fi rig that can power anything but can't get a diesel engine running?
3) And yes, what about the rest of the world? People have been travelling around the world by sailing even in modern times. How come the US is still in a bubble all by itself?
etc. etc.
I sometimes think that one of the characters, may be the Google guy, will wake up and it will all have been a bad dream stemming from him being bullied at school. Heh, heh!

Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC reports the captors beat the women while they were pregnant and the babies didn't survive.
Investigators found "disturbed dirt" in the backyard of the house where the women were held, but it is unclear if that's related to the pregnancies.
A six-year-old girl was also found with the three missing women, and she is believed to be the daughter of one of them.

The curriculum at Caedmon reflects the highest standards of the most competitive independent schools. The children are taught effective work-study skills in an environment that encourages independence and responsibility.
In the Early Program, the classroom is a prepared environment where the teacher is a facilitator, guiding the child in the learning of new skills and concepts, preparing new learning situations, and organizing direct instruction in the core curricular areas. At each stage, the curriculum and instruction takes into account the preparation for the next stage in the children's education — whether it be the foundation in pre-reading that is inherent in so much of the work in the Early Program, or the preparation for test taking in the later elementary years. Careful deliberation is given to integrating the subject areas, and incorporating the wealth of resources available to enhance the program (e.g., field trips, special guests, computers, and access to the internet).
In the Elementary Program, the classroom teachers are responsible for planning and teaching the major curricular areas: language arts (reading, writing, spelling, and handwriting), math, and social studies. Daily, direct instruction in math and language arts is organized around small instructional groups. The curriculum is expanded and enriched by regular instruction in art, computer, foreign language, library, music, science, and physical education (including yoga), which are taught by specialists outside the classroom.

It's the offseason and I'm bored out of my mind.
With that being said, I bring to you my documented prediction for the Tennessee Titans 2013 WRs. I think we can all agree on the top four. Kenny Britt, Nate Washington, Kendall Wright, and Justin Hunter are all not only definite locks to make the team, but will likely see the most playing time.
The question of "how many receivers do the Titans keep this year" has been raised on more than one occasion. With the Titans showing signs of being smart with depth and competition, I will make a case for keeping seven to eight.
Kevin Walter is making the team. He's a versatile leader that can play inside or outside. His blocking ability is on par with our TE's and his locker room presence of professionalism is already paying off.
Marc Mariani barring injury will make this roster. If he's 100% healthy, he is 100% on the team. He will either be the sixth, seventh, or eighth WR on the team and he will be last on the depth chart. Mariani is in the final year of a very inexpensive contract. He is a probowl returner that is used to being underestimated. A walk-on in college turned local hero in Montana, drafted in the seventh round by our beloved Titans deservingly went to the ProBowl his rookie year. Mariani has been a model Titan.
Damian Williams and/or Michael Preston could occupy the final two spots should the Titans keep eight receivers. Although this is a real possibility, given the fact of Britt's history of instability combined with Hunter's current instability and the fact that Mariani is mainly a returner, I don't believe they will keep eight. My guess is seven, with Mariani being the seventh and Damian Williams occupying the sixth.
Let me know what you think and if you wouldn't mind, give me your opinion of which receivers will make the best team in football. Make your voice heard in the comments section and, as always, here is a fancy poll for you to vote in.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - Attracting international business was the topic of the Central Louisiana Economic Development Alliance's quarterly meeting Monday.
Jim Voorhorst with Louisiana Economic Development spoke about the state's effort to create jobs through international trade. Industries like oil and gas and automobile manufacturing are a few of the top targets. Voorhorst says each region of the state has its own unique qualities to offer when trying to attract international trade.
"I think every region of the state needs to kind of take an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses vis-a-vis its position in global trade," said Voorhurst. "Then modify and develop its programs around the regional strengths here."

The Chicago Bears have agreed to a two-year deal with tight end Steve Maneri, according to the team's Twitter account on Thursday. Details of the contract were not disclosed at this time.
After news broke earlier Thursday morning that the Bears' second-year tight end Evan Rodriguez, out of Temple, was arrested in Miami, Chicago added a fellow former Owl in Maneri to the depth chart at the same position.
As an undrafted free agent, Maneri began his NFL career in 2010 as an offensive tackle with the Houston Texans. But after getting cut in Houston, Maneri bounced on and off the New England Patriots' practice squad before being claimed off waivers by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2011.
In six games in 2011, Maneri caught only one pass in Kansas City, and in 2012, playing in 13 games, he caught five passes for 51 yards. It's probably not shocking to hear, then, that the 6'6, 280-pounder is primarily a blocking tight end.

[video] Quick Take: Cyber Monday Flatness
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Volume is low at the NYSE on Cyber Monday and the major indices are flat.
Jason Weisberg of Seaport Securities told TheStreet's Debra Borchardt that a pullback seems unlikely because many investors are being forced to chase the market higher in hopes of boosting their annual performance.
He added that a lot of market participants have missed the big upside move since the summer and now they're paying the price, literally.
So where do we go from here?
Weisberg predicted the Dow Jones Industrial Average would end 2013 near 16,400, while the S&P 500 should finish around 1,825.He added that the broader markets should finish near the highs of the year, but we could experience some small selling pressure in the final week due to profit taking. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

Alarm: a warning of danger, a signal of fear. We are constantly bombarded by the sounds of alarms with such frequency on a daily basis, that we become immune to their intended urgency. They become just part of the sonic fabric of everyday life. Alarming recontextualizes these sounds that we have come to take for granted. A kind of polytonal symphony of source sound emerges that ranges from the private sonority of household appliances to the public din of horns and sirens. These ostensibly ordinary noises meld together to create a singular cacophony whose rhythmic repetitions overlap into a pulsing throb of reverberations.

ROCKFORD (WREX)- You've probably heard someone older than you say "When I was your age things were different". A Girl Scout study actually puts some truth into the popular phrase.
It shows how generations are different, but not in the most flattering way for anyone past their teenage years.
Ace High School juniors Cherrel Holliman and Kelsie Streeter aren't your typical Girl Scouts. Sure they've got leadership, camaraderie and of course the cookies. But they've also got a lot of responsibilities and the study shows they're dealing with everything from sex and smoking to race and religion, better than their predecessors 20 years ago. "Us growing up right now, we've been watching people doing wrong things and making mistakes and when you look at someone who made a big mistake they can't get out of, we look at them and say we don't want to make that same mistake," Cherrel said.
Cherrel and Kelsie said mentors and leadership roles help them be more responsible, a trait that's required these days. "Then it was easier to go through school and succeed, now it's harder. You have more things coming at you, knocking you, so you have to stay on track," Kelsie said.
They said school is harder because there is more college competitiveness and tests. Yet the study finds two out of three young people wouldn't cheat in class, compared to one in three in 1989. "I don't feel they're necessarily more honest, but I think people actually make an effort now to try on tests and study," Kelsie said.
Kids also try harder to accept others. Nearly 60% approve of gay and lesbian relationships. That's double what it was two decades ago. "With so many people being diverse now, there is nothing left to do but accept it," Kelsie said.
Fifty-eight percent of the people surveyed say they would refuse alcohol. That is more than 10 percentage points higher than in 1989.

Montana public school teachers and administrators are aligning their curricula with the recently adopted Montana Common Core Standards of education.
In Missoula, members of the district have already revamped the English language arts curriculum.
Now, they're working to pass the new math curriculum for the next academic year.
A committee of teachers and administrators presented the new mathematics curriculum to the teaching and learning board on Monday at the school administration building.
Now, they're looking to have it approved at the May 14 school board meeting.
Curriculum Coordinator Alanna Vaneps said the Montana Office of Public Instruction adopted the national Common Core State Standards in November 2011.
The standards, written by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers, provide a clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in the classroom before graduation.
Vaneps said, "So, whether students are getting their education from one state or another, that it's consistent."
Vaneps said the biggest change in the math curriculum is the "practice skills" element, which connects math skills learned in the classroom to real-life situations.
She said teachers will start teaching this new way of math to students at the earliest level.
"How does this work outside the classroom, at home, on the playground?" Vaneps said. "But as they get later on into middle school and high school, that application is what does that look like out in the career field?"
Vaneps said teachers will also emphasize how students can gain a deeper understanding of math by communicating learned skills conceptually.
"Those real-life application skills are really where we want students to be able to transfer their learning," Vaneps said.
Vaneps said Missoula County schools are currently implementing the English Language Arts curriculum in classrooms, which was passed last year.
She said the district will also incorporate new social studies and science curricula over the next two years.
"Students are absolutely seeing a shift as we move forward with this, but it's a process. It's a big shift in instruction for us and engagement and motivation and learning for students," Vaneps said.
Montana educators said the new standards show what students should be able to accomplish at every grade level. They said the standards help students be college and career-ready after high school graduation.

Typical inventory plug The flowers of common milkweed are a nectar source for many butterflies and the leaves provide food for monarch butterfly larvae.
Asclepias syriaca is a tall, stout milkweed with domed, fragrant clusters of pink/rose colored blooms. The stems and leaves of this plant release a milky sap when cut or bruised. A. syricaca grows well in average, moist to dry soils in full sun. It is easily grown from seed and will self-seed in the landscape.
Milkweed is well known for bringing in the butterflies. The flowers are a nectar source for many butterfly species and the leaves are an excellent food source for monarch butterfly larvae. The plant has also found its way in human history. People have used milkweed for fiber, food, and medicine. Native Americans are believed to have used the flower nectar as a sweetener and the fibers were used for making cords, ropes, and cloth.

Product Information
The Lee Precision Factory Crimp Die is designed to give reloaders the perfect crimp on each round of reloaded ammunition. The Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet more firmly in place than any other die with more uniform pressure. The Factory Crimp Die features a collet that squeezes the case mouth into the crimping groove for a firm hold. It is nearly impossible to buckle the case when crimping when compared to a regular roll crimp die. Lee's testing has shown that using a Factory Crimp Die provides a more uniform pressure curve, increasing the accuracy of any bullet. Shellholder sold separately.

Joe Girardi says that Hideki Matsui will not play the outfield until June this season, according to the Associated Press.
"The earliest we would need him in the outfield would be interleague, and that's a ways off," Girardi said Wednesday. "That's why we envision him as our everyday DH. We need him. He's a great RBI guy. He's very important to our lineup."I can't totally agree with Girardi's first point. This means that we cannot give other players "half-days off." For example, we will probably need to give guys like Jorge Posada and Johnny Damon days off in the field, but we won't be able to DH them because of Matsui.
Matsui's legs are a major concern for me and I think it should be for the Yankees too. He is normally a good offensive weapon, but he is becoming a liability on defense.
His contract expires after this season, and I don't see the need to re-sign him. The Yankees have too many outfielders as it is, and there will be a huge market for outfielders for next season.

The kit exists
I will probably get it when i go for a mk3 body for my wife after i get a working copy to make sure its good
but i want to test that lens against the 3 fast primes in the range it covers first too before i shell out that much money on it
also keep in mid these are australian prices and this is probably the cheapest we have any real hope of seeing this kit available for on this continent
Just hope it doesn't turn into an Oceania thing only. Most of the early talk about it came out of Canon in Australia and New Zealand. Someone claimed they did see a mention of it for the US too though, even with official pricing and all for the US, but since then it's just gone silent. I wonder if Canon USA didn't decide to can the idea since then? In the past the kits haven't always been the same across all countries and some have decided to opt out of certain kits.

No doubt he is getting that done in NE with a great qb - I can tell you that it was nowhere near his Cleveland performance.
Quote from: dbucfan on January 14, 2008, 04:13:49 PMNo doubt he is getting that done in NE with a great qb - I can tell you that it was nowhere near his Cleveland performance. Of course not, but I give him credit for learning from his mistakes.
My point was that Belichick doesn't spend time watching players from other teams' practice squads...which is where A LOT of their players have come from. The Patriots haven't drafted as well as they are thought to have.
Did Belichick not have final say in Cleveland?
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
The coach in NE fosters tremendous calm and composure in his football team. That's huge.
Quote from: Biggs3535 on January 14, 2008, 02:15:32 PMDid Belichick not have final say in Cleveland?Frankly I don't know but I don't see how his lack of success in Cleveland tarnishes his great success in New England. Is brett Favre a loser because he didn't play as well in Atlanta as he did in Green Bay?
Last thing I'm going to say: three former New England assistants are now head coaches someplace else, and the Pats are having their best season. That should tell you who is running the show.

Once JoJo gets past the parade of hip producers that try to make her sound like Janet Jackson, Beyonce, or Cassie, she gets to focus on her top-notch singing. That is when this album shines. JoJo is one of today's top teen pop stars, and a number of songs here help explain why.
The Girl Can Sing
The High Road provides abundant evidence that JoJo is no slouch when it comes to singing. She provides just enough control to keep the sentiments of her smash hit "Too Little Too Late" from going overboard and, by the end of the song, proves high notes are well within her range. The beautiful Diane Warren penned ballad "Exceptional" provides an opportunity to shine in a simple setting.
No Need to Follow Fads
Although superstar producers such as Scott Storch, Swiss Beatz, and Ryan Leslie are brought in to boost the name power of this set, there was no need to follow the latest fads in pop music. It is on the songs that are closest to simple, straightforward teen pop that this album rises above the ordinary. "Anything" uses an instrumental hook and vocal sample from Toto's 80's classic "Africa" to weave a tasty pop confection. Veteran songwriter Billy Steinberg ("Like a Virgin," "True Colors," "Eternal Flame") and producer Josh Alexander help JoJo deliver a near perfect piece of teen pop on "How to Touch a Girl."
Top Tracks on 'The High Road'
- Too Little Too Late
- Anything
- Good Ol'
- Exceptional
- How to Touch a Girl
JoJo Shows Teen Pop Is Alive and Well
In case anyone worried that classic teen pop was being buried by an onslaught of hip hop, pop punk, and r&b, one listen to The High Road should ease your concerns. In today's pop market it seems that major record labels insist on a parade of hot, name producers to sell an album. Those names are present here, but, ultimately, as indicated by the success of "Too Little Too Late," it is the songs and JoJo's voice that sell the best of The High Road.

Strengths: Gives my wife a chance to enjoy the pool and I feel so at ease that she is safe getting in and out of the pool.
Weaknesses: The seat was giving us a little problem but I think we worked out the issues. Feel the seat could be firmer for a person like my wife without having to spend more money for a newer version. ALS is a very expensive disease.

Resecuritisation deals - collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) backed by structured finance securities - are likely to grow in Japan, according to a report issued this week by Moody's Investors Service.The first such deal, called Dawning Global Asset Funding One Limited, was launched in June by Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co. The deal, worth ¥70 billion ($583 million), was semi-managed by Sumitomo Trust and Banking and referenced on Japanese, US and European asset-backed securities, collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Moody's attributed the potential growth to demand from investors for portfolios of diversified structured products, a growing need for resecuritisation of mezzanine and subordinated tranches of structured securities, and tight credit spreads. "When credit spreads are tight – as is currently the case in Japan – then it is a good time to issue this type of CLO deal [those that allow for substitutions of reference obligations] as the spread later widens," Moody's said in the report.
Moody's added that it only rated three CDO transactions in the second quarter of the year, worth ¥180 billion ($1.5 billion). Among them were primary CLOs issued by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, SMBC CLO II, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, BTM Synthetic CLO. The deals were primary CLOs because "the banks had originally extended the loans with the intention of securitising them", Moody's explained.
Looking at the first half of the year, Moody's said it rated eight synthetic balance sheet transactions and four cashflow balance sheet transactions. The agency rated no arbitrage transaction in the six months to June 30. The total volume of structured finance securities in the first half of the year was about ¥3.20 trillion ($26.7 billion), slightly higher than last year's ¥3.14 trillion ($26.2 billion).

With the lockout starting tomorrow, I got to thinking: what does this mean for our players? Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng and the rest are all known to be gym rats, hard workers, etc. So what type of team will we see if and when the Bulls next take the floor? Derrick Rose has mentioned that in the summer he and his roommates will go to the Berto and work out at 3AM. This summer, that wont be available to him because of the lockout. Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah are both injury prone and need to keep themselves conditioned to avoid being out for an extended period. Both guys also seem to take some time getting back into game shape when they havnt been on the court in a while. Our new draft pick Jimmy Butler wont have the luxury of a summer league, let alone the Berto or UC to start getting familiar with Bulls summer workout programs and facilities. Korver wont have the Berto to practice his three all summer, as he has stated he does. When exactly is Rose supposed to develop this post up game or further his three point shooting if he doesnt have coaches to work with him?
All these guys im sure have some sort of a workout room and at least a half court in their houses, and those who dont could probably go to local rec centers, high schools, etc. But that is no replacement for the state of the art equipment, facilities, and staff that the Bulls have for their players to use. Will this be like the NFL, where teams are getting together on their own to hold practices and workouts? Are Thibs and his staff or the trainers allowed to work with the players during the lockouts? What about the trainers and medical staff? Do we even want the Bulls working out and practicing in a random ass gym or rec center without a medical staff and treatment facilities immediatley available should somebody get hurt? Does the Bulls organization (or any team) have the right to say "yeah, sorry but we're letting our players use the facilities anyway", and would the Bulls consider this if it was a possibility? Will it be tough for players like Rose and Korver who take full advantage of what the Bulls have available to stay in shape and stay sharp? Will it be hard for Noah and Boozer to keep their conditioning up?
Look, I know NBA players will work out, practice, etc. during the lockout. I know they have their own doctors and their own workout partners. I just dont think any of that is any kind of worthy replacement for the facility, equipment, programs, intruction, and medical attention/staff that the Bulls have at the ready (and the players are used to having) at a moments notice.

Number of ratings 8 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Bill is very moody, and feels the need to go off on tangents against conservatives. He also has insulted our class multiple times because our hightest average score on his quizzes is a 49%. He does not feel that he needs to change his teaching style, and that the students are the only issue in the course. Also, the chapter summaries are pointless.
"You all have set a new standard for the word pathetic" "Out of my 20years teaching this class, I've learned one thing. It's not me that's the problem it's you students". Need I quote him more?
Bill is a nice guy but a pretty bad professor. The lectures nearly put you to sleep and honestly you don't even need to go to class before the 1st and 2nd exams because he puts everything online. But for the 3rd exam, it is all off the documentaries shown in class so make sure you go. Overall, boring but fairly easy.
Awesome Prof. I have had him for 4 classes now, and as long as you respect him, do what your supposed to do, when your supposed to do it he will respect you! Best classes i have taken thus far!!!
Honestly you just need to get to know him and respect him and hell like you. Very fun guy to get to know and if you like hands on classes take him. I had him for GIS and it was more work and book and stuff but other classes are really fun
Interesting subject, but the lecture is soooo boring you can hardly stay awake!! Doesn't have notes,just expects you to write down what you think is "important." LOTS of reading! He is a nice guy but his exams are terribly difficult. Again, nice guy and smart, but the class itself is a bore!
Had Bill for two classes now. Thought the second time around would be better. I was wrong. He teaches interesting subjects, but makes me want to rip my eye out (boring). He is also a very picky grader-doesn't present what he wants to see in his assignments.
I had him for Environment and Society my freshman year. The content was very interesting but the lechures were enough to put you to sleep. Plus he said the exams weren't date/name specific and when you get the test that's all it was. I was lucky to have passed. Extremely very knowledgable but hard professor.

Derrick Rose's torn ACL not only ended the Chicago Bulls' 2012 NBA title hopes, but it will affect them into the 2012-13 season. As of now, it looks like the Bulls are not expecting Rose to fully recover until late December, according to a report by Neil Hayes of the Chicago Sun-Times.
The usual recovery time for someone undergoing ACL surgery is 6-9 months. The Sun-Times has learned that Rose was told to expect an eight-month rehabilitation, which would allow him to return to the Bulls in late December or early January. However, Rose has been told that he could be back playing basketball within four to five months, although not at the elite level required in the NBA.
A 4-5-month recovery would be very fast. The best comparison might be Indiana Pacers forward David West, who torn his ACL in February of 2011 and struggled early in the 2012 season as he recovered. He was healthy enough to play by December, 10 months after the injury, but it took him a couple months to find his legs.
The good news is that the surgery went well for Rose. However, the Bulls probably can't expect him to be himself until late next season.

It's hard to find Yule greeting cards commercially, and often when you do locate one you like, they can be expensive. Because there's not a huge market for Pagan or Wiccan greeting cards, sometimes it's just easier to make your own. With a little imagination -- and a couple of kids to help out if possible -- it's really easy to make stylish Yule cards that your friends will love. You can make a couple of different kinds of cards, depending on how much time you have, and your level of craftiness.
Before you get started, make sure you have craft supplies on hand. Things like card stock in a variety of colors, stamps, paint, ink pads, and markers will all make it easy to create your own cards. Glue, paste and glitter are useful too.
Rubber Stamp Greeting Cards
You'll need card stock in the colors of your choice, an ink pad, a rubber stamp with some sort of Yule theme to it -- sun, pinecones, a stag, even Stonehenge -- and a paint marker or calligraphy pen. One the front of your card, use the rubber stamp and ink pad to create a Yule design. On the inside, use the paint marker or calligraphy pen to write a simple Yule greeting, such as Solstice blessings from our family to yours or May the light of the Sun shine on your family this Yule season.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT)- A Jonesboro resident shares the story of her sister who lives in Moore, Oklahoma and was impacted by the tornado Monday.
But the storm was not the only tragedy the Oklahoma family went through that day. Lois Howard- Lanham also lost her husband to cancer early Monday morning.
Jonesboro resident, Donna Gandy said she has been praying every since she got word of the tornado hitting Moore, Oklahoma.
"Lois has always told
me do the best you can, you do your best and God will do the rest," Gandy said.
Donna Gandy's older sister Lois Howard Lanham has lived in Moore since 1975. And like a lot of the community, she lost her home and her possessions that day but she
also suffered a greater loss earlier that morning.
"Earlier that morning at 9:19 am her husband Frank Lanham
passed away," Gandy said.
Frank died Monday after a long battle with cancer and then a few hours later
the tornado hit. Lois and her family took cover in a storm shelter in Oklahoma
"Her car was totaled like the other cars there, windows were
blown out of the house, there was a horse laying dead that had come from nowhere," Gandy said.
"She wants everyone to know that it is total devastation
down there and that all the families everyone involved needs prayers."
Lanham's granddaughter attended Plaza Towers Elementary
School, one of five schools destroyed by the tornado.
"She is a morning student, if she had been an afternoon
student she would have been in that school," Gandy said.
For the first time yesterday, Donna heard her sister's
"I was actually in a store and it was all I could do to not
start shouting in the middle of the store," she said.
The tornado's winds topped 200 miles per hour
destroying a path 17-miles long in only
40 minutes. Lanham does not have any information about the condition of
her home.
"I said Lois how can
you go through this losing a husband that morning and then that afternoon being
hit by a tornado and being homeless, and
she said Donna you just have to do what you have to do," Gandy said.
Gandy said her sister is one of the strongest people she
"She is holding up fantastic she is doing a lot better than
I think any of us would do," she said.
Gandy says she has a message for her sister.
"That we wish we could be there with her and we love her
very much, and we just can't imagine."
Donna said her sister is trying to get enough money to bury her husband and provide for her family.

NC State Spinout Spitter Spatter Launches Antibacterial Children's Clothing Line
Startup Launch Proves Success of Blending Entrepreneurial and Technical Curriculum
Filed Under: NEWS: Startups
Last summer I went to NC State's Garage while touring Centennial Campus. I was impressed with the blending of technical and entrepreneurial programs. At the same time, I wasn't familiar with any of NC State's student-led startups, making it difficult for me to really judge the success of the Entrepreneurship Initiative program. Now I have some proof.
Spitter Spatter, an NC State spinout, launched their first line of antibacterial, stain-resistant children's clothing earlier this month. If you're a parent, you already see the value here.
Imagine visiting a preschool at pick-up time. If it's been a good day, what you see is a group of kids that are kind of a mess. They've been running around, playing, and generally finding ways to get dirty. They're kids – that's what they're supposed to do.
But all of this activity and interaction involves germs spreading and clothes taking a pretty good beating. Can't we have the fun and minimize the germs, wear and tear?
Zach Shabot, father of two, was asking this question over two years ago when he saw Angela Hollen showcase at an NC State entrepreneurial textile show. He wanted a solution for the ridiculously short half-life of his children's clothes, and she was interested in textile performance technology. The pair ended up founding Spitter Spatter.
Raleigh-based Spitter Spatter adds an FDA-approved polymer to their children's clothing that physically alters germs and viruses – from E. coli to salmonella to swine flu – effectively "deactivating" them. The polymer additive is molecularly bonded to the fabric of Spitter Spatter's tiny T-shirts, dresses and hoodies, so it doesn't "wear off" when clothes are washed and dried. The same additive also helps prevent stains and makes the company's clothes last longer.
What's interesting to note is the story behind how Spitter Spatter was funded and developed.
Keep in mind that the company is really a nanotechnology startup that went through years of R&D. While the polymer additive they use has been around for a while, they developed a proprietary process for manipulating it.
The company is bootstrapping 100%. Surprised? I was. Granted, Spitter Spatter went from concept to product launch in a few years, not the ten plus years that it takes for many companies in the sector. But I repeat: nanotech, self-funded.
To me, the answer to how they did it goes back to NC State.
NC State Roots
While talking to Hollen about her background and the story behind the company, NC State was mentioned again and again. Hollen and Shabot met when Hollen was an undergraduate in the NC State College of Textiles, and was already focusing on textile performance technologies and entrepreneurship. After graduating, she enrolled in the Master/PhD program at NC State's College of Textiles, which allows students to design their own curriculum.
Hollen designed a curriculum that helped her build both business and textile performance expertise. She used research space in NC State's Garage and competed in the eGames, which provided her with business plan feedback. Spitter Spatter was also selected to participate in the Office of Technology Transfer's Fast 15 program, which provides mentorship and business development to companies affiliated with NC State.
What stands out is how NC State effectively blended the entrepreneurial and the technical in their support, resources, and programs. And that there was flexibility granted in how Hollen used what NC State had to offer.
Technical-Entrepreneurial Curriculum
I've attended working groups with UNC's Minor in Entrepreneurship, a program designed to blend entrepreneurship with other university curricula. I'm a strong supporter of the UNC program, which played a significant role in the development of my company. I also know that those behind the program – as well as leaders in at least one UNC technical department (Computer Science) – are trying to create more effective intersections of the technical and entrepreneurial sides of campus. They know this is often how entrepreneurship thrives.
NC State knows it, too, and what I saw on Centennial Campus last summer is a successful program. I'm hard-pressed to think of a more definitive measure of how successful a technical-entrepreneurial curriculum is than the products or companies affiliated with it. A self-funded nanotechnology company demonstrates that academia can play a valuable role in startup development.
I will say, though, that Hollen seems like the type that was going to find a way to do this regardless of how much support NC State provided. But that's not my point. My point is that the next time you hear about yet another tech startup founder dropping out of college to start a company, remember that it can go the other way, too.

"It's all relative." This is one of my favorite phrases. It can bring a sense of calm and succinct wisdom in a host of situations. For example:
In January 2012, Blackstone came to the Triangle to set up the Blackstone Entrepreneurs Network (BEN). Until now, the group has maintained a relatively low profile in the Triangle.
Yesterday, I took time to think about what happened last year in the Triangle startup community. Honestly, though, it was a short-lived look back, because as an entrepreneur invested in our region, I do this type of reflection a lot.
City councils and taxi commissions trying to regulate Uber was interesting. For about a week. When it went on for over a year in Washington DC, I started to feel stagnant just reading about it.
In the summer of 2012, Raleigh's Ginny Porowski entered Groundwork Labs as the inventor of the GoGown. She had filed patents on her new disposable isolation gown in 2009 and was looking to get the product to market.

So, I've been going to the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas for almost a solid decade now, and if there's one thing that's for sure, it's that the conference continues to evolve.
Given, when I first started attending Black Hat those many years ago, it was not as a marketing rep for a security solutions provider, but as a reporter attempting to get my head around the emerging threat/exploit landscape.
However, even if my time is no longer spent attending sessions, and trying (with varying degrees of success) to understand what is being presented, even just a walk across this year's show floor evidences the continued shift towards a more business-centric audience.
This is nothing new, of course, as hardcore Black Hat attendees have been decrying the show's evolution into more of an "RSA in the desert" for years, but it's clear that with each passing summer this change becomes ever more the reality.
Even when I was working my first marketing gig for pen testing specialists Core Security six years ago, it was clear that ethical hackers, primarily researchers, still made up a huge swath of the Black Hat audience.
Certainly it has a lot to do with spending more of my time in the vendor exhibition space, but with each year I see more corporate names and government agencies listed on attendees' badges, and fewer humorous attempts to dodge identification (though we do have several "ninjas" and at least one "director of rainbows and unicorns" listed among our 2014 lead gen candidates).
As I was discussing this topic with longtime industry guru Alan Shimel (currently of the CISO Group and Security Bloggers Network) we were debating the upsides and downsides of this phenomenon.
Firstly, neither of us would debate that there is still a treasure trove of extremely valuable research on the Black Hat schedule, and again, I can't even make the claim in recent years of attending many of these sessions.
Another key component to consider is that there are the sister Def Con and parallel B-Sides Las Vegas shows, which cater directly and almost exclusively to ethical hackers – focused solely on research, which has allowed Black Hat to grow more… corporate.
You also, of course, have the phenomenon of people who started out as Black Hat researchers who now focus more on the security solutions side of things, having built vital businesses around the "thought leadership" (yup, it's a loathsome term but one that works here) they used to share as conference presenters (the guys from White Hat Security are a perfect and high-profile example).
As noted above one of the other significant changes in Black Hat attendance is the ever-increasing number of people coming to the show representing various elements of the government. In years past there may have been a lot of Red Team/Blue Team types, sure – and there likely still are – but today there's an overwhelming number of state and federal security operations and management officials that attend – with their names and titles displayed openly on their badges, another notable shift.
My impression is that many of the people who first came to Black Hat – and now may spend more time at Def Con or B-Sides – likely disparage the show's change in interests, thinking that the event is now too focused on the business side of things.
For companies like FireMon, however, this change had made the event even more valuable, providing us with another fantastic opportunity to connect with existing customers and new prospects to tell them more about what our solutions can do.
Is the change good? Is it bad? That's for each individual to decide on their own, but as Alan and I eventually agreed, it's really just a natural evolution, as hacking and ethical research continue to mature and become an even bigger element of enterprise security.
No matter how you slice it, Black Hat continues to serve as an ideal venue for numerous elements of the security community to connect, and no matter what changes come it's always a pleasure to be there.
