Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
I find Shop-Eat-Surf to be a very useful and informative site that I enjoy browsing daily. Shop-Eat-Surf is the first thing I look at every morning to keep up-to-date on the latest talk, events, and happenings in the industry. I must say I am a fan of Shop-Eat-Surf.- By Bobby Abdel, Partner, Jack's Surfboards

AP source: Boehner proposes higher taxes for millionaires
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio gestures during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012. (AP / J. Scott Applewhite)
The Associated Press
Published Saturday, December 15, 2012 9:36PM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — Signaling new movement in "fiscal cliff' talks, House Speaker John Boehner has proposed raising the top rate for earners making more than $1 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said. President Barack Obama, who wants higher top rates for households earning more than $250,000, has not accepted the offer, this person said.
The proposal, however, indicated progress in talks that had appeared stalled. The person would only discuss the plan on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations.
As part of a broader budget deal, Boehner is still seeking more spending cuts than Obama has proposed, particularly in mandatory health care spending. Boehner has asked for a long-term increase in eligibility age for Medicare and for lower costs-of-living adjustments for Medicare.
Boehner's tax proposal was first reported by Politico.
A Boehner aide would not comment on the report.
At issue are expiring tax rates that would automatically increase on Jan. 1 for virtually every income tax payer if Congress and the president don't act. Steep budget cuts are also scheduled to kick in, unless Congress and Obama agree to forestall them with other deficit reduction measures.
Obama has insisted on extending current rates for the 98 percent of taxpayers in household that earn less than $250,000. He would let the top two marginal rates increase from 33 percent to 35 percent and from 36 percent to 39.6 percent for those taxpayers making over that threshold.
Until now, Boehner had maintained his opposition to raising any rates. Instead, he had proposed to raise up to $800 billion in tax revenue over 10 years by limiting tax loopholes and deductions as part of a broad tax overhaul.
But the speaker and House Republicans have come under increasing pressure form a number of Senate Republicans who say they should yield to Obama's demand on tax rates and then press him for additional cuts early next year in exchange for an increase in the nation's borrowing limit.
Obama has proposed about $600 billion in spending reductions over 10 years, including about $350 billion in Medicare and other health care savings. But he has also proposed about $200 billion in additional spending, including aid to the unemployed and to struggling homeowners and for public works projects.

This is such a beautiful poem! Almost feels as if it might be written for a loved one who has passed on and who is hopefully in the presence of these glorious beings. The poem gives the reader a feeling of calm and peace but yet also fills us with a beautiful vision of what Heaven is hopefully like. Love this. (Report) Reply

Angel Heart.
I see before my eyes divinity
Gossamer shining wings before my eyes
The light of Love explodes before me
You are a child of paradise
I feel the heat of your desire
Passion shines within your eyes
Your Angel heart Is a living fire
The Angel heart It never dies
Smile for me my Angel heart
Lift me where the Angel's sing and play
The beating It shall ever start
You shall find yourself In the sun each day
Let there be a beauteous smile upon your face
From the light of Love's glory you shall never part
Let the world know your beauty and Angel grace
In memory always remember you have an Angel heart.

Behind 32 from Jeremy Lamb, the Thunder go to 4-0 in Orlando.
Behind 32 from Jeremy Lamb, the Thunder go to 4-0 in Orlando.
The Thunder improved to 3-0 in Summer League on an impressive performance from Reginald Jackson.
The Thunder improve to 2-0 in Orlando on a pretty Jeremy Lamb game-winner.
The Thunder's season ends. Considering the high hopes and dreams entering the playoffs, it's a major disappointment, but considering, it was also an inevitability.
If there's a game to illustrate that maybe it's just not meant to be this season, it was this one as OKC falls behind three games to one to Memphis.
The Thunder fall behind 1-2 to the Grizzlies after a fairly miserable Game 3 loss that really came down to 90 really bad seconds.
The Thunder fail to close and seem to let one slip. So things are all even, literally and figuratively.
The Thunder battled their way to a tough Game 1 win, restoring a little faith in the process.

Wake up to birdsong
Designed by Jeffry Wyatville for the 6th Duke of Bedford in 1811, Hotel Endsleigh is a stunning Grade I historic house set in 108 acres of fairytale woodland and surrounded by beautiful gardens, follies, grottos, created by Humphry Repton in 1814.
The Duke, who owned a third of Devon, chose this spot of enchanting beauty for his fishing and hunting lodge. Hotel Endsleigh is today one of the most important Regency country houses remaining.
Olga Polizzi bought the hotel in 2005 and carefully restored it in the spirit of the regency period, with original pieces and artwork blended with contemporary luxury. Hidden in a secret valley at the edge of the Dartmoor, many of the 16 bedrooms have magnificent views of the gardens, the river Tamar and beyond into Cornwall.
A Wintry Gourmet Treat
We are delighted to inform you that for the first time in 2015, Hotel Endsleigh will be open throughout January and we will be celebrating the New Year with a treat for you.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS13/AP) — Workers in the San Francisco Bay Area and San Joaquin County suffer through commutes that are longer and cover greater distances than in any other major metro area in the country.
The Chronicle reports the region has a higher percentage of workers described in new Census data as "mega-commuters" — people who spend at least 90 minutes plus 50 miles to get to the office in the morning.
The newspaper says about two percent of full-time workers living from Walnut Creek to San Rafael to San Jose — and four percent of people who work in the area — are classified as mega-commuters, compared with the national average of less than one percent.
The Census bureau numbers also show San Joaquin County commuters are nearly twice as likely to spend an hour or more to get to work than commuters across the country.

Sing to Live Season Opens
Yesterday I attended the opening concert of the sixth season of SING TO LIVE at Pilgrim Church, and it was amazing. SING TO LIVE is a community chorus made up of approximately 70 singers whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Some are breast cancer survivors themselves, many have struggled with family and friends who have been diagnosed with this horrifying disease. The story of how this remarkable group of singers came to be (and which I have retold a thousand times in the past five years) is awesome and inspiring.
A young woman named Melinda Pollack-Harris was diagnosed with breast cancer. After fighting all the battles of chemo and radiation, Melinda began to search for the post treatment support that many cancer survivors seek. There are many choices out there - some people run, some knit, but Melinda realized that what would be the most supportive and healing activity for her was to sing with other people. She couldn't find a source that offered this interactive opportunity, so she put together a board and started her own chorus.
Then comes the part of the story that I call the "woo-woo" moment. The chorus needed a director. That director would not only have to have the musical experience, but would need a sensitivity to the particular mission of this particular group of singers. One of the board members suggested they interview Wilber O. Watkins, an extensively experienced choral director. So they did, and a whole chorus and a choral director fell in love and did he have the requisite sensitivity? How's this for karma? Wilber's "twin" sister is a breast cancer survivor.
However, the most wonderful story and the loftiest goals does not an accomplished chorus make. I sang for 15 years or so, back in the dark ages, with a chorus that is now about 150 years old. It takes many years for a chorus to "jell". What this group of singers has accomplished in a short five years is absolutely remarkable. Credit for this achievement certainly must go in large part to director Watkins' skills in music weaving, but what happens with these singers goes far beyond what is tangible. They have a bond with each other and with their audience that, in my mind, qualifies as magical.
I can talk about SING TO LIVE forever, but I urge everyone to experience this bond for themselves. You can read all about them on their website singtolive.org. Their next performance in Oak Park will be in March 2011, and I'll be sure to remind you.

Man fires shot on Hampton property after work dispute
Police went to a call Friday for a report of a person who had fired a weapon at another person on 548 Lafayette Road in Hampton.
The victim was able to provide police a description of the suspect and vehicle he was driving, according to officials.
When police responded to the home, they learned that the suspect was in fact working at the property when an argument started over the work that needed to be done as well as payment for that work.
Police said a scuffle erupted, and that's when the suspect took out a firearm, pointed it in the direction of one of the victims and fired the weapon.
With the description given by the victim, officers were able to spot the suspect's car on Route 101. They conducted a traffic stop and ended up arresting James Clark, 70, of Hampton.
Clark was charged with reckless conduct.
Clark was bailed on $5,000 personal recognizance and was forced to turn over all of his firearms. He is expected to be arraigned on May 8.
Officials said the incident is still under investigation.

Chinese stars launch war on drugs
Publication Date : 15-08-2014
Entertainment industry agencies and performing companies in Beijing have pledged not to hire any actors connected with drugs, after a series of celebrity narcotic-use scandals broke out in the past few months.
The Beijing Trade Association for Performances and 42 performing art agencies and groups have signed a commitment, promising that they will not hire any actors who are connected with drugs, reported Beijing Youth Daily.
The organisations and companies also pledged to educate employees about anti-drug laws regularly and urge employees not to use illegal drugs, according to the report.
In the past four months, Beijing police have arrested 963 people suspected of drug crimes, a 35 per cent increase year-on-year. Among those arrested, 58 are accused of involvement in drug trafficking and smuggling, according to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau on Monday.
Several celebrities have been detained on drug charges after President Xi Jinping declared in June that illegal drugs should be wiped out and that offenders would be severely punished.
The latest celebrity to be detained on drug charges is Gao Hu, a 40-year-old actor from Qingdao, Shandong province.
Gao is one of the leads in director Cao Baoping's new movie The Dead End, which will be released in November.
He has also played in quite a few popular movies and TV dramas, including director Zhang Yimou's movie The Flowers of War in 2011, which starred Christian Bale.
On August 12, Beijing police announced the detention of Gao for possession and use of marijuana and methamphetamine, along with a businessman, a female model and an actor.
Gao confessed that he had been smoking marijuana and he tested positive after his arrest on August 4, police said.
Not long before, Zhang Mo, actor and son to actor and director Zhang Guoli, made news headlines when police confirmed he was arrested for using drugs on July 29, following his arrest over marijuana use in 2012 when police searched his home after receiving a tip.
In June, Beijing police detained screenwriter and novelist Chen Wanning, whose pen name is Ning Caishen, for possession and use of methamphetamine in an apartment in Beijing.
That same month, film director Zhang Yuan was arrested for drug offenses at a Beijing railway station, after he allegedly tried to evade a random drug check.
A total of nine entertainment industry people have been detained on drug charges, and most of them are celebrities.
The detention list also includes Li Daimo, who was arrested in March for taking illegal drugs in an apartment, and Hong Kong actor Roy Cheung, 51, who was arrested while smoking marijuana in a Beijing hotel in July.
Qu Xiao, movie producer and founder of Beijing Qiyu Ji Culture and Media Company, sees the pledge initiated by the entertainment industry association and companies as a serious warning to performers.
"The government is faithful to control illegal drug use and corruption. Entertainment industry people are not excluded from that mission," Qu says.
"Those who don't believe in the government's determination and continue with illegal drug use will regret it sooner or later."

Student struck outside New Albany High School
Updated On: Oct 28 2013 12:56:04 PM EDT
A student was taken to the hospital after being struck by a vehicle on the way to school.
It happened Monday morning outside of New Albany High School.
Police said a female student was struck as she tried crossing the street, apparently in a crosswalk. It all happened before school started, around 7:30 a.m.
The extent of the girl's injuries is not known, but she was reportedly conscious and alert when she was taken to the hospital.
It is unclear what circumstances led to the incident.
The assistant superintendent said that not all crosswalks have crossing guards, and he's not sure if there was one here at the location Monday morning.

my parents won't let me date until i'm 15. i think that's actually pretty reasonable. : )
by iloveballet&singing on 2/27/2012 5:27:49 PM
I'm 14 about to turn 15 in July and I am also in the 8th grade. My parents do not approve of me having a boyfriend at my age and they say that my attention needs to be focused on my school work. I tried the whole dating thing a few years ago and nothing worked out in my favor.. and I lost nothing but my parents trust and respect. But I feel like I can maintain my grades and a boyfried at the same time now. My friend Matt who is a junior in high school had asked me if I would go out with him a while back. I told him that I wasn't allowed to date and that I was terribly sorry. Well the subject came up today and I really like him and I don't want to tell him no.. But I don't want to cause a conflict between my parents and I. I feel like I can handle this but.. My parents more then likely will look at me like I have 3 heads if I ask them for their permission. What do you suggest I do?

Hey I'm 11 too and at my school there's TONS of couples. I understand where your comeing from because I'm at that stage too. If I were you I would have that talk with mom or dad when you get asked out of you ask a boy out. If you do that before they'll think you're up to something. And if they still say no, theres nothing wrong having him come over to meet your parents! It wouldn't even count as a date. It's just a get together. If they still say no then respect their desisions.

Indonesia's Aceh votes in governorship race between former rebels
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (Reuters) - Two former separatist rebels vied for governorship of Indonesia's Aceh region on Monday after an election campaign plagued by violence in a gas-rich province recovering from a devastating tsunami eight years ago.
An exit poll by the Indonesia Circle Institute polling agency showed rebel former foreign minister Zaini Abdullah from Partai Aceh with more than 54.4 percent. Abdullah was foreign minister for former rebel group, the Free Aceh Movement (GAM).
Former Aceh governor Irwandi Yusuf got 29.9 percent of vote, the Institute said. Yusuf stepped down as governor in February when his term ended and is running as an independent.
Official results from the Aceh Independent Election Commission are expected next week.
In the second only governor's election in Aceh, a semi-autonomous region on Indonesia's northwestern tip that has used Islamic law since insurgents fighting Jakarta's rule signed a peace deal in 2005, both sides complained of voter intimidation.
Yusuf said several campaign vehicles belonging to his team were burned by unidentified attackers.
"There is hindrance in the field, intimidation. People were scared. There were murders, kidnappings, knocking on people's doors to tell them to not vote for a certain candidate and that if they don't pick a certain candidate there will be a war," he told reporters on Monday.
At least thirteen people died in the run-up to the election in Sumatra island's poorest province, Jakarta-based risk firm Concord Consulting said in a report.
"The elections, which were delayed three times since last year, have been plagued with alleged politically motivated violence, including at least 13 murders," the report said.
Aceh shows that a guerilla conflict can be resolved by allowing rebels to take part in the political process, said security analyst Sidney Jones of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group.
One challenge for Abdullah and Partai Aceh if they win is to reconcile with supporters of other parties, she said.
"The most important issue is to show that everybody will be treated equally whether or not they were past combatants or past supporters of the Partai Aceh movement ... and that there will be serious attention to the economic and social problems of Aceh," she said.
Rebels laid down their arms after the December 26, 2004, tsunami that left 170,000 dead or missing. In all, the tsunami killed about 230,000 people in 13 Indian Ocean nations.
Aceh benefited from billions of dollars of aid after the disaster and has recovered gradually, but many there are demanding more stability.
The region was plagued by the separatist conflict for three decades, including periods of military rule. Human rights abuses were rife and thousands of civilians died.
Former rebels now dominate politics and violence during the campaign was linked to the aftermath of the insurgency. The main fault lines are between Partai Aceh, formed by GAM and which controls Aceh's parliament, and Yusuf who won elections in 2006.
"What Acehnese want is peace. It's a definite prize because Aceh has suffered from 30 years of conflict," said Irfandi Djailani of Forum LSM Aceh, a consortium of non-governmental groups.

February 17 marks the fourth anniversary of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of
independence from Serbia. The UDI has been recognized since by the United States
and its key NATO partners, as well as 80-odd other countries. The majority of
the world's sovereign states have refused to do so, however, including two
permanent Security Council powers (Russia and China), two budding giants (Brasil
and India), five European Union members (including Spain) – and
Israel.Successive Israeli governments have come under pressure from
Washington to change their mind, but on this issue the raison d'etat has wisely
prevailed across the political spectrum. The similarities between Kosovo and
Judea-Samaria are not obvious to the uninitiated, and Israeli diplomats prefer
not to spell them out and risk needless tiffs with the Americans. On closer
scrutiny those similarities turn out to be significant.In both cases
there's a small piece of disputed real estate – rich in history, poor in
everything else, and badly mismanaged by the local Muslim majority chronically
hostile to its non-Muslim neighbors. In both cases that majority craves
internationally-recognized statehood, and in both cases the demand is based on a
bogus claim of distinct nationhood ("Kosovar" or "Palestinian") that conceals
the broader expansionist agenda – greater- Albanian and Palestinian
Arab-Islamic, respectively.The act of recognition by the major Western
powers has opened, in Kosovo's case, a Pandora's Box of legal, geopolitical,
moral and security issues. It has cemented an already flourishing black hole of
lawlessness and endemic corruption and enhanced a potential base for
jihad-terrorism deep inside Europe. A repeat scenario between the Jordan and the
Green Line would be the last thing Israel needs as it contemplates strategies
for containing Iran's nuclear ambitions, responding to the tectonic change in
Egypt and to the crisis in Syria.The US support for the Kosovo Albanians
has adversely affected Israel's interests in a number of significant ways. It
sets the precedent that a solution to an intractable political and territorial
quarrel can and should be imposed by force by outside countries, even if one of
the parties – in this case Serbia – rejects the proposed solution as contrary to
its vital national interests.The question of how Israel should come to
an accommodation with Arab aspirations remains open, but no sane Israeli would
suggest that a solution imposed by outsiders, either under the UN or EUNATO
aegis, would likely be in Israel's interest. Washington's claim that outside
powers can award some part of a state's sovereign territory to a violent ethnic
or religious minority with a local plurality – as NATO powers did in Kosovo in
1999 – would put in question not only the future of Judea and Samaria but even
southern Galilee and parts of the Negev, where non-Jews have, or may eventually
acquire, significant local majorities.Israel's Muslim population is now
above 20 percent, roughly the same as Serbia's if Kosovo is included. If
Albanian Muslims can demand separation of their majority-inhabited areas from
Serbia today, citing alleged past mistreatment, it is an even bet that Israel's
Arabs will invoke that same precedent tomorrow. (Needless to say, Washington's
claims that Kosovo is a one-off issue, a special case, completely sui generis,
etc. are not taken seriously by any would-be irredentist or separatist movement.)
The readiness of the US administration to circumvent the Security Council,
knowing it would block Kosovo's UDI on international legal grounds, seeks to
devalue Russia's and China's veto power as such. In light of how many times
anti-Israel UNSC Resolutions have been thwarted by a US veto, diminishing the
power of the veto per se may prove detrimental to Israel in the
future.More significantly, as has been pointed out by many American
policymakers, an overt motivation of US policy on Kosovo is to curry favor in
the Islamic world. Such a notion betrays a remarkable naivete that is a form of
appeasement. One only need look at American efforts to help create a Palestinian
state, to bring "democracy" to Iraq or Afghanistan, or to provide aid to the
mujihadin against the Soviet Union in the 1980s to see the value of jihadist
gratitude. A complete victory in Kosovo would merely stimulate the demand for
further concessions elsewhere, with Israel always the ultimate
prize.Last but not least, proponents of Kosovo independence scoff at the
Serbs' claim that Kosovo, with its many ancient monasteries and the site of the
famous battle, represents not just any part of their country but its very heart
and soul – "Serbia's Jerusalem." Such attitude betrays a cynical contempt for
the essence of any true nation's identity, which necessarily rests on its
historical, moral and spiritual roots.Without such foundation a people
ceases to be a people and becomes but a random mob.If Serbia can be
haughtily deprived of her Jerusalem today, and her historical and spiritual
claims are dismissed out of hand, who is to say "al- Quds" will not be demanded
of Israel tomorrow as the capital of an independent "Palestine"? Let it be added
that proponents of Kosovo's independence overlook or flatly deny the fact that
Kosovo's top Albanian leaders were members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, an
organization once regarded as a terrorist group.Today's Pristina is more
reminiscent of Gaza or Ramallah – with Saudi-financed mosques, chaotically built
concrete houses, and roadside rubbish heaps included – than of any European city
of comparable size.The Netanyahu government should continue to stand up
to its closest friend and ally, the United States, on an issue many Israelis may consider
peripheral.Israel's position on Kosovo is a matter of vital national
interest on which no government should ever compromise. Ideas matter. So
do principles.The writer is the Co-Founder and Executive Director, The Lord Byron Foundation for Balkan Studies andand the Foreign Affairs Editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that Peter Theo Curtis had been held by Nusra Front, al Qaeda's official wing in Syria whose rivalry with militant group Islamic State has fueled war among the insurgents themselves.
President Barack Obama, who was briefed on Curtis' release, "shares in the joy and relief that we all feel now that Theo is out of Syria and safe," the White House said.
"But we continue to hold in our thoughts and prayers the Americans who remain in captivity in Syria - and we will continue to use all of the tools at our disposal to see that the remaining American hostages are freed," the statement added.
News of Curtis' release emerged just days after the Islamic State group posted a video on the Internet showing one of its fighters beheading American journalist James Foley, who was kidnapped in Syria in 2012.
The United Nations said in a statement "it can confirm that it facilitated the handover of Peter Theo Curtis. He was handed over to UN peacekeepers in Al Rafid village, Quneitra, the Golan Heights, at 6:40 p.m. (local time) on 24 August 2014. After receiving a medical check-up, Mr. Curtis was handed over to representatives of his government."
A senior U.N. official said the negotiations for Curtis' release were handled by the Qataris.
White House national security adviser Susan Rice said in a statement that Curtis, 45, was "safe outside of Syria, and we expect he will be reunited with his family shortly."
Curtis is an author and journalist who published books under the name Theo Padnos. His family said in a statement that he changed his name legally to Peter Theo Curtis after he published a memoir called "Undercover Muslim: A Journey into Yemen." The name change was to make it easier to travel in the Muslim world, the family said.
The family said it was "deeply grateful to the governments of the United States and Qatar and to the many individuals, private and public, who helped negotiate the release of our son, brother and cousin."
"My heart is full at the extraordinary, dedicated, incredible people, too many to name individually, who have become my friends and have tirelessly helped us over these many months," said Curtis' mother, Nancy Curtis, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Please know that we will be eternally grateful."
The statement added that while the family was "not privy to the exact terms that were negotiated, we were repeatedly told by representatives of the Qatari government that they were mediating for Theo's release on a humanitarian basis without the payment of money."
"We are also deeply saddened by the terrible, unjustified killing last week of (Curtis') fellow journalist, Jim Foley," the family said, appealing for the release of other hostages.
Curtis, who has a PhD in comparative literature from the University of Massachusetts, and is fluent in Arabic and French, wrote his first book about the frustrations of teaching literature to incarcerated teenagers in Vermont.
He later became fascinated with another type of troubled youth: Western men who converted to extremist Islamist causes.
After moving to Yemen to work for a newspaper there, he studied at religious schools, madrassas, along with disaffected young men from the United States and Europe.
In a 2010 interview with the GlobalPost online news publication, Curtis said: "These kids turn up in Yemen with no cash. They are so lonely. The mosque gives them a house, money, education - and love. And in exchange for that, the kids give loyalty."
Curtis entered Syria in 2012 hoping to write freelance news stories to help the Syrian people, family spokeswoman Betsy Sullivan told Reuters in an email.
Another American, photographer Matt Schrier, who was held in the same cell as Curtis but escaped in 2013, said in a statement: "This day will go down as one of the happiest of my life. After living through the tragic events of this past week with the death of James Foley and hearing that the life of Theo Curtis has been spared, it gives me great hope for the safe return of all the other hostages."
The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists also welcomed the release of Curtis "after nearly two years of harrowing captivity in Syria." It estimates that about 20 journalists are missing in Syria. Many of them are believed to be held by Islamic State.
