Artist, Activist and Storyteller, Paul Richmond
in LGBT
Paul Richmond is an artist, activist, and storyteller. His work often incorporates elements of pop culture, politics, and his own experiences as a gay man. You can see all of his work, purchase some prints and more at http://paulrichmondstudio.com. His latest series, War Paint, explores ideas of identity and masculinity through expressive, figurative paintings of men covering their bodies with paint. He enjoys working with models who have made important or interesting contributions to LGBT culture, and he's painted everyone from Jack Mackenroth to Perez Hilton. Many of the "gaylebrity" models were a part of his Cheesecake Boys series, a gay/male spin on classic pin-up art from the 40's and 50's.
When he's not painting, he is busy with a non-profit organization that he founded with his childhood art teacher called the You Will Rise Project. Their mission to empower young people who have experienced bullying to speak out through the creation of uncensored artworks. He was bullied horribly as a kid and having a creative outlet made all the difference. He does free workshops for young people, a mentorship program connecting college artists with bullied high school students, a special project last spring called Art For Michael in support of an 11 year old boy who attempted suicide after being bullied for his love of My Little Pony, and a new social media photo campaign called #SelfieRespect.

Him and his husband are involved with the fight for marriage equality as well. They were married a year and a half ago with a group of 24 other LGBT couples who rode a bus to Washington DC and had our ceremony in front of the Supreme Court building just days before DOMA was repealed.
Hagel Resignation: What took so long? His replacement?; Last words on Ferguson
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's "resignation" has created a huge void in an already National Defense strategy. What led up to the Secretary's resignation? Was it truly a resignation? Who will be his replacement?
The above questions are very important in understanding what is really going on in the Department of Defense. They are also critical in who should be selected as Hagel's replacement.
Even more important is what role did President Obama play in Hagel's decision to call it quits.
Also this morning, we will take a quick look at some of the topics overshadowed by the events surrounding Ferguson, MO.
Closing out the morning visit "In the Pickle Barrel" I will make (what I hope to be) my final thoughts on the Officer Darren Wilson/Michael Brown shooting.
I hope you will jump "In the Pickle Barrel" and take part in the discussions and share your thoughts in either the Chat Room or by calling in at 855-236-2486 to talk live on air.

Kiler Davenport Live: Interview with Tory Allyn
in News
About Tory Allyn:
Tory Allyn currently resides in Upstate New York. Although born in Syracuse, he was raised in the quaint town of Baldwinsville with his brother and two sisters, who drove him into becoming the crazy person he is today. As a child, he made up many a tale. Some funny; others dark and brooding, but all started him on the path to writing. Today, his nephew, lovingly referred to as The Monster Child, is his partner in crime. Most days, you will see them playing ball at a nearby park, going for a dip in the backyard pool or snowboarding on a popular mountainside. Tory has written his first novel titled, ALTER EGO, has completed a second novel titled, ALTERED STATE, and is currently working on the third which will be titled, ALTER BOUND. All three are a series entitled, THE DAVENPORT DECREES.
About Alter Ego:
Informed by his Captain to retrieve the remnants of a disfigured body, Special Agent JACK STANWICK exited FBI headquarters and raced toward Rockfort, Virginia. As sirens echoed in the distance, he approached the old gravel road that led to Granite's Mill. Jack knew what he was about to see, and with most of 'the brotherhood' dispatched away, outside help was needed. So the experts at the DAVENPORT DETECTIVE AGENCY had to be hired. BREN WILLIAMS, DEREK O'ROURKE and RUSS MUNROE are detectives under the guiding eye of former police chief, RAYMOND DAVENPORT. All four were ex-cops who turned over state's evidence on corruption in their respective precincts, only to be ostracized by the remaining brass. If anyone can immerse themselves fully into ALTER EGO, they can!

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 11/19/14
IRVING, Texas-- For many rookies, their first season in the NFL is all about getting adjusted to the rigors of day-to-day life in the league, whether it's work days that often start before 7 AM and end about 10 hours later, the fact that football is now a job or other aspects of life as a rookie, year one is all one big acclimation process for rookies. However, for second-year Cowboys linebacker Bruce Carter, a second-round pick of America's Team in the 2011 NFL Draft who suffered a serious knee injury as a senior at North Carolina, that acclimation process was a bit different. He continued recovering from that injury for much of his rookie season, at least until Oct. 29, 2011 when Dallas added him to its 53-man roster after the club cut running back Tashard Choice. All told, the ex-Tar Heel appeared in 10 games last season, seeing time at both middle linebacker and on special teams and finished the year with eight tackles. So far in 2012, he has already seen fairly exte...

by Geoffrey Ciani - This week's 82nd edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio featured an exclusive interview with boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Senior whose son, Floyd Junior, is widely viewed as one of the most talented fighters in boxing today. The fight that every boxing fan wants to see is a showdown between Floyd Junior and Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum recently imposed a deadline for exclusive negations on Team Mayweather. The deadline came and passed and garnered a lot of media attention. Floyd Senior spoke to us about Arum's deadline and the prospects of this fight coming to fruition. He also talked about other aspects of the current boxing landscape. Here is a complete transcript of what Floyd Mayweather Senior had to say to me and the show's Hostess, Jenna J:
JENNA J: Alright everyone, it's time for our second guest of this week's episode and he is now making his fifth appearance on our show. He is none other than Floyd Mayweather Senior. Hey there, Floyd.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: How are you doing?
JENNA: I'm doing fine. We're happy to be talking to you. Floyd, I'm sure you know, Bob Arum has come out in the press and he put a deadline on Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Junior. He said the deadline passed. What are your thoughts on the whole contract situation trying to make that fight happen?
MAYWEATHER: My problem is, Bob Arum don't call no f*cking shots. Bob Arum don't call the shots. The fight can be made anytime they want the fight to be made. Little Floyd definitely ain't scared of no Pacquiao. That's the last thing in the world that little Floyd is scared of, a little Filipino midget. Definitely that's not the case.
JENNA: Now he said in the transcript after the deadline passed that he never directly spoke to the Mayweather camp, that he only spoke through Ross Greenberg of HBO and he spoke to Al Haymon. Do you think there was ever any real agreement in place?
MAYWEATHER: I definitely don't think so. I don't think so, not at all. My thing is, I think what this thing comes down to be is that my son don't want to be paid like Pacquiao. He's the big draw, not Pacquiao. He drew more numbers than Pacquiao and he wants to get paid like he's supposed to be, not no 50-50. He wants to get paid like he's supposed to get paid and I don't blame him. I would be the same way. If you draw way more people how in the world can they be paid the same? I'm pretty sure that's what the whole deal is right there. Pacquiao claims he wants half but it don't go that way. He's not the best fighter, anyway. He knows he ain't the best fighter and Bob Arum knows he ain't the best fighter, too. So why should you belittle yourself and take less money than you're supposed to?
JENNA: When Bob Arum was asked about the drug testing, he said, "I think the drug issue was resolved, I don't want to go into further details". Do you think that it was all the way solved? It wasn't just a fourteen day deadline? Or do you think it was basically what the terms were last time?
MAYWEATHER: If it was me, I'm going to say about the whole situation. If it was me about the fourteen day thing, there shouldn't even be a fourteen day thing. It should be a random thing. That's what it should be. It should be random. I'm saying that I don't know what Bob Arum's got to say about this and how he's calling on the shots. I don't know how all that's going down but I'm just telling you it should be a random thing because that way, there is all kind of ways people could do things. So I would do a random test that way you can get tested anytime, even the day of the fight. That's what it should be and that little pint of blood ain't going to hurt nobody.
JENNA: Do you think that Bob Arum is coming out in the press this way with the deadlines and everything else to try and make Floyd look bad?
MAYWEATHER: Of course. Yes he's trying to make little Floyd like bad but people already know what time of day it is. Of course he's trying to make little Floyd look bad because he's with Pacquiao. When he was with my son he was trying to make him look good and everybody else look bad. He was with my son then but he ain't with my son any more. My son left him and De La Hoya left him. That's just the way it is.
JENNA: Alright now, do you think your son will be fighting in 2010 or do you think he'll wait until 2011 to return?
MAYWEATHER: I ain't going to say that he won't fight in 2010. He could fight in 2010 but then again he might not. I'm pretty sure he could fight somebody like, well I can't even say. I just have to say that I believe he can have a fight but it won't be a big, big fight like Manny Pacquiao. I just think that whenever they're ready little Floyd's ready, believe me.
JENNA: Well Floyd, we're also joined by my co-host Geoff Ciani. Geoff?
GEOFFREY CIANI: Hi Floyd. It's a pleasure to speak with you again.
MAYWEATHER: Why thank you.
CIANI: Thank you for coming back on. The question that I wanted to ask you Floyd is they're talking about a couple of other opponents for Pacquiao if he does not fight your son.
MAYWEATHER: You're talking about Cotto again and talking about Margarito.
CIANI: Yeah, yeah. I was wondering, starting off with Cotto.
MAYWEATHER: That's just a bunch of BS, man. Let me tell you this right here, all this right here is to try to get little Floyd upset or whatever it is, but it's stupid anyway. First of all, being real man, what little man—you see how big Margarito is, don't you?
CIANI: Yes.
MAYWEATHER: Alright, then. Even though he ain't got skills how do you think, to be honest, that Pacquiao would beat him on the up and up? He can't. He couldn't. He couldn't beat him on the up and up.
CIANI: Now what do you think, going back to Cotto for a minute Pacquiao already beat Cotto.
MAYWEATHER: Why is he going to fight Cotto again? Why? All this is, is just a game. If you see what the whole thing is, Bob Arum is giving Cotto a title and then turning around and letting Pacman beat Cotto up again and take it again. That's all it is. That's all it is. It's so plain to see a blind man can see that.
CIANI: So you don't give Cotto any chance in a rematch with Pacquiao?
MAYWEATHER: No. No, it's all going to be in Cotto's head how he took a savage beating. That's the kind of beating that he took. In my honest belief, on the up and up when everybody's straight Cotto beats him, and beats him easy. Margarito beats him, too, easy. It's so easy that both of them would probably knock him out. But with the situation like it is, hey what can you say?
CIANI: Now I'm curious Floyd, what do you think about Cotto pairing up with Emanuel Steward?
MAYWEATHER: I don't care if he's with Emanuel Steward or whatever Steward he's with. I'm just saying, there's nothing wrong with Emanuel trying to make his money. There's nothing wrong with Cotto if that's the guy he believes in. Hey, that's okay but that ain't going to make him win though. Unless Emanuel Steward gets smart and gets down to some business and find out what's really going on.
JENNA: Now Floyd, with all of the negotiations that have happened in the past with Mayweather and Pacquiao and the problems that they seem to be running into now, do you think a deal for them to fight will ever happen?
MAYWEATHER: Well you know, you can't say that it won't ever happen, but I'm really telling you right now I don't believe it's going to be this year. I don't believe it's going to be this year. I will tell you that. It's just a thing where nobody's going to go on nobody's terms. Little Floyd is the biggest fighter out there right now. He ain't got to go under nobody's terms. He ain't got to go under Bob Arum's terms. He ain't got to go by nobody's terms. He's his own man. I'm pretty sure if Pacquiao fights these guys and beats them like he's supposed to, I'm pretty sure that fight will go on if Pacquiao's still around. If Pacquiao's still around because I'm just saying all that stuff about the Congressman and all of that stuff. It's a bunch of BS man. Who cares about that, man? To be a Congressman over millions and millions of dollars?—Please! That's all I'm trying to say. It ain't nothing but a mess, man.
JENNA: Well let's talk about your son for a minute and what could be next for him. If it's not Pacquiao and if Junior still fights this year who would you like to see him against? Would you like to see him in there with somebody like Bradley or Cotto?
MAYWEATHER: First of all, let me tell you something. I'm going to be honest with you. I was looking at Bradley last night and believe me I'm telling you what I see and what I know. Bradley is a good fighter and I give him the utmost respect for the weight class that he's in and I don't believe he would whop little Floyd even if little Floyd was in that class. I'm just telling you that what I had seen last night, it's ridiculous. As a matter of fact I'll really be honest with you. I went to sleep during the fight. That's how boring the fight was to me. But I'm just telling you I liked Bradley as a fighter from the fights that I'd seen before. Last night when he fought, that guy was in a picking fight for him where he could do what he wanted to do but I went to sleep during the fight. I'm going to be honest with you about that. He didn't look good to me at all. He was awful wild and looping punches and telegraphing punches. You could see the punches coming when he was getting ready to start. He was loading the punches up, you know what I mean. I'm just saying that that's a fight right there that would be a merciful fight I believe for Bradley. I sort of gave Bradley, out of all the fighters that I have seen I thought maybe at one time that Bradley might at least put up a good fight or something man. I don't think so, not at all. He's not going to hit my son with none of that stuff, that big wide looping stuff. No. He'd get beat to death. That don't mean that I don't have no respect for him but I'm not going to respect him in the weight class he's going into now.
JENNA: You're obviously Floyd's father. Who out there do you see as a fight that you'd like to see your son with? Who do you think is a good match-up for him that would draw some interest?
MAYWEATHER: Well you know what? I'm going to be honest whether the fight goes on or not. I'm going to tell you who I really want to see him whop because he's been running his damn mouth so much to just shut his ass up once and for all. Maybe he might not. I want to see Floyd whop Margarito's ass because all you hear is him talk, talk, talk, talk to everybody, blah, blah, wah, wah. Floyd's scared of Margarito. Yeah, Floyd's scared of Margarito. Guess what? Shane beat the dog sh*t out of Margarito and knocked his ass out and Floyd beat the sh*t out of Shane. He ain't even got to fight Margarito to tell you the truth. That lets you know right there where Margarito's out from what he did with Shane, and it wasn't too long ago when he beat the hell out of Margarito.
JENNA: So you'd actually like to see your son face Margarito to shut his mouth up for all his comments?
MAYWEATHER: Well he really ain't got to beat Margarito. Shane already beat Margarito and he beat Shane like a baby and Shane beat Margarito like a baby so there ain't nothing to prove no more to be honest. I think that's already solved. That's already solved, but he's just a big slow Mexican with no finesse.
JENNA: Do you think Margarito even deserves a big fight after getting caught?
MAYWEATHER: He don't need no fight, no he don't need another fight like that. That's what I'm trying to tell you right now about all of this stuff. Guys that do stuff like that, they should be banned from boxing, period. Guys that take supplements, enhancement drugs, steroids, whatever that stuff is, look at here—they should be banned, period. All these people want to say oh, how good he is and how good he is. Once again, this is what happened with Shane. Let me tell you what happened with Shane. Shane probably whopped Margarito's ass with the sh*t in him, with the stuff inside. But I ain't going to say that he did, it could have been. I'm just saying whatever it is, if he did do it he did no more than Margarito did when he beat up Cotto. So both of them are underhanded kind of fighters so whatever happens to either one of them it's all good. It's all good. But I know one thing, little Floyd had Shane take the test and guess what? You seen what happened, nobody got to tell you.
CIANI: Now Floyd, changing things up a tiny bit to a different topic in boxing. I'm curious, one of the fighters you used to work with is now considered by many to be right on the threshold of the top ten pound for pound and that's Chad Dawson. I'm wondering what you think of Dawson as a fighter right now?
MAYWEATHER: Well of course you know when he was with me, hey you've seen what he did. He's still fighting and he's still winning. You saw when he was with me. You saw how he looked. I really have no comments on it. You all see what you see. All you got to do is go back, get the two CD's that he had when he fought with me both times and then get the CD's when he fights now and tell me what you see.
CIANI: How do you think Chad will do in his upcoming fight against Jean Pascal next month?
MAYWEATHER: I really don't know that guy. I really don't know that much about that guy. I don't know nothing about him. If I knew something about him I could call it or something. I don't know nothing about that guy at all. So what is it to that guy? Is that guy a puncher? Or what is he? Do you know?
CIANI: He's a bit of a boxer/puncher I would say.
MAYWEATHER: Okay. He's a bit of a boxer/puncher, okay. Well my thing is that if he does like he's been doing he may cause problems. I'm thinking about when he fought Glen Johnson the first time. That was a life and death fight. I just thought that that guy's old enough to be his Daddy. I just don't see why Chad had problems with him at all.
CIANI: Chad beat Tomasz Adamek who has since gone on to heavyweight and had some success there. I'm wondering because he's a smaller guy, he's coming up from light heavyweight and cruiserweight.
MAYWEATHER: What did you say was the guy's name? What's the guy's name?
CIANI: Tomasz Adamek.
MAYWEATHER: Look here, man. Look here. I'm the one that trained Chad Dawson when he beat Adamek. I made Chad Dawson champion that night. I trained him. You didn't know that?
CIANI: No, I knew that. I knew that. I wanted to ask you what you thought of the heavyweight division and what you thought about the fact that Adamek has had so much success at heavyweight so far?
MAYWEATHER: I think the heavyweight division is a bunch of garbage now. Anytime a guy like that can go up and beat anybody. Hey. The heavyweight division is weak, real weak. But Adamek ain't no hell of a fighter to me. He might be a good fighter but he ain't no hell of a fighter. I think he went up to cruiserweight. They fought at light heavyweight but he went up to cruiserweight and then heavyweight and he's beating these guys, man. Hey, heavyweight is bad. That's all I can tell you. It's not good. It's bad.
CIANI: What's your opinion of the two guys that are widely considered the best right now, the two Klitschko brothers?
MAYWEATHER: Them guys, I don't really want to get in too deep on them either, because I'm not going to say what's what and what ain't what. But my understanding is they're doing their little thing too when it comes to things like—you know. You know what I mean. Those guys right there to me, I don't think even as small as Ali was back then, I'm going to be honest. I think somebody like Ali, I mean we're in a different era right now don't get me wrong. We ain't got nobody in the era to beat them guys right now and those guys, they don't want to be tested for nothing. I mean that's what I hear. I don't know, but I heard them guys don't want to be tested for nothing. But even back then, even a guy as small as Ali who was 215, 212, or whatever. He would have killed a guy like that, man. He would run circles around him and beat him half to death. It would have been no different than when he fought Ernie Terrell. When Ali beat Ernie Terrell, it wouldn't be no different. It would be a great big old building come tumbling down. It's the same thing.
JENNA: Now Floyd, taking things back to your son and his potential fight with Pacquiao. If you could speak to Pacquiao right now face to face what would you say to him?
MAYWEATHER: I'd tell him he's a fagg*t. You know what I'd tell him. Go stick your head up under your dress. That's what I would tell him. I'm being real with you. I'd tell him he ain't nothing but a sissy and a little girl. They got, as a matter of fact I've seen a thing in one of these books. Hold on just a second. Hey Lloyd! Where's that book at about all of those athletes? That book about all of the athletes? You know the one, it had Pacquiao in there and Kobe in there? Well you know what, I'll tell you just like the book says it. Hold on one second here. Here it is right here, here's the book. It has nothing to do with no sissy. Just hold on just a second. I got something right here. I'm trying to find something right here. This is exactly what I would tell him. It's in this book here. It's "The Twenty Biggest Bitches in the Sport". That's what it says, "The Twenty Biggest Bitches in the Sport". Guess who's right here? Manny Pacquiao. It says "Biggest Bitches in the Sport" and that's what he is, a bitch.
JENNA: So basically you're questioning his manhood a little bit for not immediately taking a match with Floyd Mayweather Junior?
MAYWEATHER: Let me tell you something. What I'm saying here is not so much about that. Yeah, it would be that because of all these other guys. He ain't got no problem with fighting all the big guys—De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, the other African guy, the other guy who he fought with the title. I'm just saying he beat these guys, Cotto, he beat all these guys like they're nothing. Pacquiao's one of the biggest fagg*ts on the planet.
JENNA: So you think he's afraid to fight your son?
MAYWEATHER: Yeah, he's scared. The only thing they're trying to do is to switch this around and make it look like it's my son that's scared. He ain't the one that's scared. I know who's scared for real. They want to try and make it look like Floyd is scared, and he wants to do this, and make him take the test. No. You take the test. There ain't nothing wrong with you taking the test. You take the test but one thing about it, don't ask for the same amount of money because you don't deserve it. You don't deserve it.
JENNA: Floyd, now your son has to fight somebody next and if it's not Pacquiao, who do you think it will be?
MAYWEATHER: I will be honest with you. A lot of times what these people do, it don't make a difference. There are a lot of guys Floyd can fight. Well not a lot, but you got the African guy Pacquiao fought. Little Floyd could fight him. Like I said, little Floyd can fight Cotto, little Floyd can fight Margarito. Floyd can fight other fights.
JENNA: Martinez or Williams, maybe?
MAYWEATHER: Who?
JENNA: Martinez. Sergio Martinez, the middleweight champ.
MAYWEATHER: Is he a middleweight or a junior middleweight?
JENNA: He's currently the middleweight champion.
MAYWEATHER: Oh yeah, yeah. He fought Kelly Pavlik. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think little Floyd will beat him, too. But then again he's left handed. I have to really see Sergio again. I have to see him again. It's been awhile since I saw him. I have to see him again, but he's another prospect, too, yes.
JENNA: Floyd, if Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather does not happen do you think it really hurts the sport?
MAYWEATHER: Well the sport is hurting, anyway. The sport is hurting anyway because right now they need to clean all of this act up that these people are doing today. All these people are doing is praising these raggedy ass fighters that ain't sh*t for real. They're running around with their enhancement drugs and stuff in them and people are praising their asses and they ain't sh*t. I'm just saying the game is bad because of that and they're trying to make these fighters look unbeatable and they can't even fight! You see Shane Mosley. I'm not saying he was a bad fighter, but when he fought clean he wasn't sh*t. He got gassed in two rounds. So I'm just telling you that's the whole deal on him. If Shane hadn't have taken the test, we know what he would have done and we know how much energy and power and stuff he would have had. And you know what? If he had that stuff in him, when he hurt my son in the second round guess what? My son probably wouldn't have seen the third round. He probably wouldn't have seen the third round if Shane still had that stuff in him. That's what I'm trying to say. The game is going bad, anyway. There in't nobody trying to clean this sh*t up and everyone's trying to sit around here and wants my son to fight somebody with some damn drugs in him. Oh, whoa, it's okay, he's scared, he's scared. You're God damn right! You better be scared fighting somebody with some damn drugs in you. You better be scared because if you ain't scared you're putting your f*cking life on the line. And I'm sorry to be talking to you like that. I'm not talking to you that way. I'm just letting you know how I feel.
JENNA: Oh yeah, definitely. That's why we like interviewing you Floyd. You're honest and open and you say what's on your mind. You don't hold anything back.
MAYWEATHER: Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm talking this way because all of this stuff happens and they're talking about going to court and all that stuff. See the whole thing is that if nobody is looking at these people putting these drugs and stuff in them, that's why they should basically take the tests and any test it is, it should be random. That's what it should be, random.
JENNA: Floyd, I have one final question for you. With all the media outlets trying to blame your son for this fight not happening, is there anything you want to say to all those people.
MAYWEATHER: I'd say to all those people, kiss my son where the sun don't shine and you know where that is. It's where the sun don't shine, and we know where it don't shine.
JENNA: Alright. Well Floyd, it was an absolute pleasure yet again interviewing you. We thank you again for your time and we wish you the best of luck with your son in the future.
MAYWEATHER: Alright then, thank you very much.
JENNA: Thank you, Floyd.
CIANI: Thanks Floyd, good luck.
MAYWEATHER: Alright then, take care.

How Important is a Schedule?
Find a Conversation
How Important is a Schedule?
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 9:36am
One of the secrets to school success is an organized school routine. An organized school routine keeps everyone on the same page, and makes getting ready for school, finishing homework, completing projects, and everything else that goes on during the school year, a lot easier.
Do you make (and stick to) a schedule? Can you tell the difference on days you don't stick to it?
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 1:39pm
Yes, we have a schedule. I try my hardest to keep to it, but there are days when things fall apart. My oldest kiddo has several appointments each week and those seem to throw us for a loop. My boys thrive on a schedule so those days when things are a bit off, I can certainly tell a difference in behaviors/attitudes (theirs and mine both! ha!). I also feel like we are always trying to play catch up on those days when things are "off" (rushing to get homework in, the house is a mess, things get forgotten, etc).
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 1:46pm
We try to stick to one as well. If we don't *I* tend to forget things! I hope this school year goes off without a hitch.
|Thu, 08-09-2012 - 1:32pm
Yep! I'm the one usually forgetting things (and then I just want to kick myself!). I'm hoping this year goes well too. I always have such good intentions... and, well... I'm sure you know how it is. Hoping to stick with it this year!

Cabot Oil & Gas was one of the better performing S&P stocks
of 2013, gaining around 50% for the year. Most of the gain can be
attributed to its exposure to the high-return Marcellus and Eagle
Ford Shale plays, as well as its above-average production growth. A
relatively low risk profile and longer reserve lives are other
positives in the Cabot story. But given natural gas' volatile
fundamentals and Cabot's high exposure to the commodity, we do not
believe that the stock can sustain the momentum in the near future.
Cabot's steep valuation and miniscule payout also keep us worried.
Considering these factors, we are maintaining our Neutral
recommendation on the company's shares.
Cabot Oil and Gas (COG), based in Houston, Texas, is an
independent oil and gas exploration company with producing
properties mainly in the U.S. Founded over 100 years ago in
Pennsylvania, Cabot originally operated in the Appalachian
Mountains of the eastern U.S. before moving the bulk of its
activities to the Gulf Coast. Today, the company has four domestic
focus areas: the Appalachia, east and south Texas, and Oklahoma. As
of year-end 2013, the company had 5.45 trillion cubic feet
equivalent (Tcfe) in proved reserves (97% natural gas). Cabot's
output totaled 413.6 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) in 2013,
of which more than 95% was natural gas.

The season's first snowfall is blanketing Toronto, bringing with it the melancholy that usually accompanies the holiday season. It's the time of year to ponder your ties to your family, your community, your church, your life as a whole. It's not really the time of year to have an epiphany in a rock club.On stage at Lee's Palace is a dozen-strong raggedly dressed mild mannered army. In the centre is a Buddy Holly figure with a Morrissey quaff, looking determined but a bit overwhelmed at the joyous orchestral cacophony behind him. On either side of the stage, male go-go dancers clad in balaclavas wave their arms in the air, simulating rapture as they slowly strip to their skivvies. Lyrics projected on an overhead celebrate the good of life and gay sex interwoven with religious imagery. A couple of glockenspiel players attempt to lead the crowd in basic choreography like we're all at summer camp. Shockingly, everyone does it, liberated by the magical spectacle.It all seems so beautifully innocent, incredibly sexy in the least glamourous way possible, slightly situationist, and absolutely perfect — too perfect. Nothing this pure could ever last.Two-and-a-half years later, the Hidden Cameras are a different beast altogether. They have just returned from a three-date European trip, playing in London, Greece, and in front of 12,000 people at Barcelona's Primavera festival. They've released three full-length albums, including the new Mississauga Goddam, on the UK label Rough Trade.Several talented people have floated in and out of the Hidden Cameras during that time, and Toronto gossip circles have spat out more than a few stories about various behind-the-scenes disasters. Yet through it all, the unique artistic vision has remained firm, for better and worse making only minor concessions to music business convention. The fact that the Hidden Cameras are still a band at all is something of a miracle.The Hidden Cameras begin and end with Joel Gibb. Everything about the band's mandate was immediately evident on 2001's Ecce Homo, a collection of four-track recordings. The semiotic student's lyrics were hymns of devotion to larger forces: God, community, drugs, and explicit gay carnal pleasures. The music aspired to be a bedroom-bound Phil Spector producing the Velvet Underground: otherworldly reverb, a primitive pulse, and droning pop songs. This would be magnified immensely on 2003's fully developed The Smell of Our Own, where — over a vibraphone, pipe organ, tympani, strings and a full choir — Gibb sings, "The whole room was filled with the thunder and flood/ of just one chord, the thrill and clarity of sound."It speaks to Gibb's natural talents that Ecce Homo was his first experiment with either songwriting or four-tracking, to say nothing of singing or playing guitar. Were there other four-track bands he was listening to? "Not really." Did he know other people who were using one? "No." Did he even have a manual? "No. Somebody sat down with me for 20 minutes and showed me how to work it, and then I was just on my own." Did he know what kind of production aesthetic he wanted? "Reverb. I searched for a cheap reverb unit, and once I had that, then I was on my way. It was really just a guitar pedal with an effect called 'oldies.'""People didn't even really know I played music. I was just getting confidence to assert myself in that way," he says. Gibb played clarinet in high school band, which is perhaps where he got his taste for orchestral flair such as string sections and tympani, but otherwise found it rather alienating. "It's the same with all academia," he says. "They try to mystify it so that there's some sort of power relationship: 'We know how to do it and you're going to learn from us. We're not going to accept your playfulness, because there's only one way to play it.'"In elementary school, Gibb and a bunch of other eight-year-olds took an extracurricular class based on the Carl Orff method. He recalls, "For some reason we had to get into these dance slippers, a bunch of kids parading around playing xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels. It was just playing around with rhythm and we danced a bit too. I excelled in that — that was the only musical thing I excelled in. That coloured my musical aesthetic more than any academic one."The Orff method could well be a manifesto for the Hidden Cameras itself. According to an Orff website, "The Orff approach taps the very essence of our beings. Children learn through doing, exploring and improvising. They are active participants in an integrated, guided process, one which allows for differing musical abilities. In the Orff approach, no child is neglected. The Orff philosophy combines the elements of speech, rhythm, movement, dance, and song. And at the heart of all this is improvisation: the instinct children have to create their own melodies, to explore their imaginations."Page 2 » GET IT!

I have been unable to print since I installed the latest update. Hopefully this will help!
Strange I have no such issues with my SP3.
netbook, I don't think so... My first Netbook was the HP Mini running Vista. I remember it took about 6 minutes to start up. I had to install a dual boot system to run XP :)
My 1520 developer preview updated today! t-mobile
Thanks for the tip Paul! Hell I don't need one but at that price I ordered one anyway!
You were missed!
As long as you and MJ don't vacation at the same time I think we can survive though.
I too will miss the Charms bar.
On my Windows 7 PC at work I am always reaching for them pointing my mouse to the top corner only to remember I'm not using Win 8.1...
damn I couldn't wait and got the I5, should have held out for the I7...
I actually prefer the left image on your Twitter example.
Kinect does not always recognize me right away forcing me to sign-on manually. This sounds like the proper solution.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 Review
Popular Cameras
Your Comments

no full zoom sample pics????????
Funny that it performs so badly. On paper you would think it would outperform something like the Fujifilm S11000 or something - http://versus.com/en/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-h400-vs-fujifilm-finepix-sl1000
All the specs are just for marketing though! Bah.
very bad pictures, to much noise
Still using a CCD in 2014! It needs a BSI CMOS sensor with a brighter lens. No wonder it's noisy.
Shouldn't be on the market, after seeing what the pictures look like I'm glad I have a Canon. Pictures like make you think twice about any Sony cameras
I honestly think that you shouldn't give equal weight to the different scoring categories, when calculating your average scores. It's not all about the imaqe quality, of course, but surely the images are what matters most in the end? A camera that hardly can take a decent picture shouldn't be awarded with an 'above average' final score, regardless of build quality, features or ease-of-use.
Sony wants to be on the top of megazooms. It doesn't matter quality, the most important thing is number x63 he he…
What a waste of money.
hehe u gud alone,hola equipa masterende cola mas tiraque tomme kirching
The pictures aren't so good…Can you please review the Sony cybershot DSC-H300??
When are u gunna review the h300?
Just brought this camera.
All I can say is, what a mistake.
It is awful
I don't understand Sony's thinking behind the release of this camera.Is it worth it to endanger the brand name just to catch a few kids and amateurs who are going to be impressed by the 63X..Shame on you Sony for this camera….
At the start of this review it is stated that this H400 Sony bridge camera has a Carl Zeiss lens. It DOESN'T. If it was a CZ lens it would say so on the lens and it doesn't, it says 'Sony Lens'. This is why this camera is a lot cheaper than the Sony X50 (which has a lower zoom but a CZ lens). How appalling that someone paid to write professional camera reviews hasn't even noticed this model does not have a CZ lens. It makes his entire review unworthy of being posted, let alone read.

How's the Economy Doing? Ask a Local
Ruchir Sharma: Always listen to what the locals have to say about the economy as opposed to global investors.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.

Following the storm on Friday 19th of September
This week some of PCF's staff visited our families to assess the damage and issues being faced by our beneficiaries. Recent flooding has left many families homes and belongings damaged and more importantly they have been left unable to access food.
We had to respond quickly to the needs of our children and hosted an emergency feeding program on Saturday 20th in the school. Here existing food parcels were distributed and an incredible group of PCF friends cooked over 500 meals ensuring all our beneficiaries had the essential food they required.
We have also been able to transport additional food parcels to Navotas where most damage was witnessed.
Our thanks go out to all the volunteers and staff members who acted quickly and effectively to assess the problem and prepare a suitable solution. Special thanks go to Sarah Mcleod and Kitty Martinho for arranging the amazing food donations.
Sadly, this is not the first time our families have suffered such a problem and we need to ensure food supplies are available to all in times of crisis.
To show your support please text ENOUGH to 70660 or visit online click DONATE and quote 'feeding' to support PCF's vital feeding programme.

DEFINITION of 'Acting In Concert'
A slang term for when parties undertake identical investment actions to achieve the same goal. Acting in concert requires the cooperation of people or corporations to make the same transactions based on a previous arrangement.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Acting In Concert'
The issue of acting in concert is often examined in the world of acquisitions. Investors are usually required to declare any takeover intentions or place a tender offer after acquiring a specific percentage of shares in a company. However, some may try to spread the ownership percentage among friendly parties in an attempt to avoid declaring or bidding. Regulators have determined that if people are acting in concert and the sum of ownership exceeds the specified percentage, the group must declare its intentions.

phpGraphy hasn't evolved much lately but our lifes have... and spare time has been highly reduced...

As I write these lines, oniryx has been father of a little boy for the second time, congratulations to him and his wife !

What so ever, we're still planning to release a 1.0 some day and this last 0.9.x release is a proof that we'll be. Forcoming changes in the dev repository will probably break the database compatibility that we where able to provide until then, so be careful for those that are the dev release !

phpGraphy - Where are we ?2007-08-21T09:04:23Z2007-08-21T09:04:23ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.netc45b8ad407b38f77e698d4aab31b685818f52946

Last news is kind of old but we're still there ! Actually, we've been enjoying a real summer break but are decided to get back to work asap. Firstly we'll try to work on the fixes of bugs that have been reported since the last stable is out and then the big step forward, phpGraphy 1.0 !

0.9.13a security fix release2007-01-30T00:16:03Z2007-01-30T00:16:03ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net81f7464d2789ae18b8ff6b046649da28a3be095e

While browsing using my favorite search engine, I came across an exploit for phpGraphy 0.9.12. After some investigation I came to the conclusion that this exploit uses was using a flaw in PHP itself not in phpGraphy, however the result is the same, people using phpGraphy along with unpatched PHP versions are vulnerable ! Please UPGRADE *asap* to the latest PHP and/or phpGraphy versions, this exploit is serious and might lead the attacker to gain control over your webserver.

0.9.13 final released2007-01-28T17:00:16Z2007-01-28T17:00:16ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.netab179392bcd7e80801479463d5bcc08193cf0a0a

I'm proud to announce phpGgraphy 0.9.13, the latest major number of the 0.9.x family. This version is a minor enhancement over the release candidate 1 but 0.9.12 users might want to have a closer look to see if there is any cool feature they want on their site like RSS feeds, video thumbnails etc.

We'll now be working on the next 1.0 release that should include a bunch of new exciting features like a search engine, statistics, etc. It'll also be the first phpGraphy release to break the database structure backward compatibility but evolution has a price !

We'll be waiting for your feedback on this release, so please, take some time to do so.

phpGraphy 0.9.13-rc1 released2007-01-05T17:15:16Z2007-01-05T17:15:16ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net2c3c90282c943eaee746fa24fcdd272e56bde9ab

After a long, long waiting period, we've finally made it, the first release candidate of the 0.9.13 release is out ! With this release come some new exiting features like RSS Feeds, Video Thumbnails, a "direct URLs" mode and much more. Please read the Changelog for the full list of changes.

Please report any bugs or weird behavior on our development site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org).

phpGraphy - Back on the track2006-09-15T09:01:01Z2006-09-15T09:01:01ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net7eb2e8cafa3005da7a3d46252a3cb0af7dafafe1

Summer is now over, no more excuses not to code anymore :) Oniryx and I have finished to sort out the roadmap (https://trac.phpgraphy.org/trac/roadmap) for the next release (0.9.13) - Main features are: RSS Flow for the lastcommented/toprated/lastadded pages, thumbnails for videos, ability to move/rename directories and files and internationalization of the error messages.

This release is going to be the last one before the 1.0 branch, basically before we make some changes to the database structure which is getting a bit old since there hasn't be any change on it since release 0.9.6 back in 2001 :)

People that do want to help with the testing are more than welcome, meet us on irc, see our contact page for details.

phpGraphy - Summer break2006-08-07T09:23:07Z2006-08-07T09:23:07ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net7b7d316e6a264598b973b8ebb3cfb55fab8833a8

It has been a long time since the last post here, don't worry we're still alive but just taking a summer break. We'll go back into the code at the beginning of September with hopefully a new release soon after !

phpGraphy 0.9.12 stable released2006-04-17T23:10:13Z2006-04-17T23:10:13ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net7417bd0bfc6d2900c417fb91cc04fa6262592fcf

After a long easter week-end full of chocolate, you can now enjoy the latest features of phpGraphy (Templates, Slideshow, Square thumbs) bundled along with this stable release. A security hole was also reported yesterday, it has been fixed in this release and ALL users are asked to upgrade ASAP ! To conclude, I would like to dedicate this release to Arthur, Oniryx's son which is born the 1st of April 2006, Long life to the King ! :)

phpGraphy 0.9.12-rc1 released2006-03-27T17:52:53Z2006-03-27T17:52:53ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net403d186bbf5c90c03f50022828c2a6a04991a2ea

Wanna try the template system ? The slideshow mode ? Square thumbs ? Everybody is more than welcome to try this first release candidate of 0.9.12 - We *need* your help and feedback to confirm that it is stable and fully working. Please use the ticket system of the development site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org) and not the Help forum as this is not a stable release.

phpGraphy 0.9.12-rc1 coming soon !2006-03-22T08:30:04Z2006-03-22T08:30:04ZJiM / aEGIShttp://sourceforge.net/u/jimpower/http://sourceforge.net70d6e522b372c8e42457cd38264dacf6764632d6

It has been a long time since I didn't post any news here, for people that want to follow-up closer to the development process, don't forget our Development Site (https://trac.phpgraphy.org). About the 0.9.12-rc1, it should be out before the end of the week, with as promised the expected template engine and also the slideshow mode. Stay tuned !

Chad Johnson Statement: NFL Star Wishes Evelyn Lozada Well, Apologizes to Fansby Free Britney at . Comments
Chad Johnson has commented publicly for the first time since he allegedly bashed his head into Evelyn Lozada's and was arrested for domestic violence.
Evelyn Lozada filed for divorce Tuesday after just 41 days of marriage.
The NFL star, who has been released by the Miami Dolphins (and VH1), issued a brief statement on his official website late yesterday afternoon:
"I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred."
"I wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death. I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL."
"To all the fans and supporters I have disappointed, you have my sincerest apologies. I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life."
Note the lack of apology to Lozada directly there, only to "everyone" for "recent events." Nice work by his lawyer, vaguely covering all the bases legally.
The 34-year-old wide receiver clearly doesn't believe his career is over, despite being out of a job following the surprising domestic violence arrest.
Whether it is or not, it looks like his marriage is kaput. Head-butting aside, their condom fight was clearly foreshadowed by Chad's cheating ways.
[Photo: WENN.com]
Who gives a F*** abt her A̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊d̶̲̥̅̊ ɑ̣̣̝̇̇я̩̥̊ǝ̩̩̩̥ fake life.
I feel bad for Eve. She seems to be a caring person Ocho need to sit his ass down!!!!!
I knew this marriage would be over before the ink was dry on their wedding license. Chad quit letting your lil head speak for the big head your first clue shoulda been when she was with ALL these sports players and slept with a married man and then is BFF with his ex. I bet when you say her name at her chow box it ECHOOOOOOOES!
Who cares bout ochocinco head butting a star f***er!!

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Parents put focus on number of students failing algebra
It turns out parents may have their fingers more closely on the pulse of education than do their elected representatives on the school board.
Last week, the board's Curriculum and Instruction Committee took a field trip to Southside Middle School. The idea was to give parents a chance to express their concerns about curricular matters directly to the superintendent and the board. And we quickly learned that the Manchester School District has a math problem.
One of the bearers of this bad news was a familiar face, Jim O'Connell, the outspoken parent activist and founding member of Citizens for Manchester Schools, the group that has been advocating for more school funding.
He said he had been told at a Central High parents council meeting that nearly 200 freshmen at the school — close to a third of the class — failed algebra last year.
Other parents chimed in to criticize the district's math programs, in particular Everyday Math, the curriculum used through Grade 5. The program emphasizes patterns and games over old-school methods, such as memorizing the times tables.
District officials acknowledged there very well may be a lack of coordination in math teaching as students go from elementary school to middle school and then on to high school, where the problem culminates in their poor performance in algebra.
Principals at the city high schools have since confirmed that large numbers of freshmen — between a quarter and a third — have been failing algebra in recent years. This newspaper will report further on the problem on Monday.
Superintendent Tom Brennan said he is going to be meeting with his team and principals over the coming weeks to figure out what can be done about the problem.
Brennan seemed to be a lot more appreciative of the feedback from the parents than the kind he typically gets from the school board.
He said he'd like to see more such meetings in the community.
"I think it was one of the better meetings," he said, referring to Tuesday's session. "Even with the small number of people, it generated questions that need to be answered."
- - - - - - -
Brennan proposed an interesting question at another subcommittee meeting last week: Why are there clocks in classrooms?
Like so many school board discussions these days, the context for Brennan's query, at a meeting of the Building and Sites Committee meeting, involved money. How can the cash-strapped district pay for a laundry list of school repairs, from broken clocks and intercoms to pot-holed parking lots?
It turns out repairing those old clocks — with the red second hand that surely has held the attention of countless school children for countless hours — is very pricey.
"In this day, with all the devices we have, I don't understand why we need to have clocks in the classroom," Brennan said. "Perhaps we can have a conversation about that."
He recalled a sign that a teacher had posted as a message to his students that read, "Time is passing, are you?"
Brennan called his clock question rhetorical, and in some ways the list of maintenance issues presented by the principals of Memorial High, Southside Middle School and Weston Elementary on Tuesday was also rhetorical.
Many of the items have been on the schools' wish lists for some time, and school board members weren't inclined to spend money on the problems. Among the requests were new lockers and fixing cracked floor tiles at Memorial, a new intercom system at Southside, and a new coat rack at Weston. There may at least be some money for one of the oft-cited problems at the schools: repairing pot-holed parking lots and cracked blacktops. The subcommittee is looking at taking $350,000 in bond money designated for the parking lot at the district office and using it for paving problems at the schools. The assumption is that this will pass legal muster, unlike an earlier attempt to use the money to hire more teachers.
- - - - - - -
There has been an empty seat at school board meetings for the past several weeks. Ward 4 board member Roy Shoults has been laid up. The good news is he is feeling better and expects to be attending this week's meetings. The bad news is he still doesn't know what exactly is wrong with him.
He said he has developed a "dropped foot" — it's difficult to lift his foot off the ground. And he's been fatigued and has lost about 30 pounds.
So far, all the tests he has had at the hospital have indicated he is in good health.
"I feel at this point that I'm a perfectly healthy invalid," he said.
The freshman board member says the problems began about six weeks ago, after he moved into a new apartment. He thinks the exertion triggered his condition.
He's steadily been feeling better, and he is able to move around now, at least enough to get him to board meetings.
"Mentally, I don't have any problem, but this has led to my being more frustrated, since I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me," he said.
Here's hoping we see Shoults at school board meetings again soon.

Who knew? Mayor Ted Gatsas made his acting debut last weekend, appearing last Sunday in a performance of "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire center on Beech Street.
The mayor would most certainly make a good Tevye, but it was just a cameo, he said.
He came on stage as the village mayor, complete with sash and hat, appearing alongside the constable and the priest.
Gatsas said, modestly no doubt, that there was "some applause" when he came on stage.
So did the mayor catch the acting bug?
"Trust me, I'm not quitting my day job," he said.
