'Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir' by Liz Prince
Posted on October 1, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Illustrated, Reviews
At the beginning of Liz Prince's memoir she describes the problematic situation she faced as a kid:
According to the schoolyard…boys are: "snips and snails and puppy dog tails,'" while girls are: "sugar and spice and everything nice." It's a decrepit old nursery rhyme, but somehow the attitude still prevails. Girls are expected to be polite and lovely and pink and frilly and dainty and reserved and…I'm outta here! BLECH! Not that there's anything wrong with those things, they've just never described me.
'If This Be Sin' by Hazel Newlevant
Posted on August 17, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
I love comics about musicians, especially behind-the-scenes bios about their life and creative processes. So for me, Hazel Newlevant's comic If This Be Sin, which features three music related stories, was like getting triple scoops of my favorite flavor. Plus, one of the stories is about the falling out of rock star musicians Wendy and Lisa with Prince, which this former Minnesotan couldn't wait to read. What better way to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Purple Rain than with a little reality check on what Prince is really like? (more…)
'Fearful Hunter' by Jon Macy
Posted on July 27, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Erotica, Illustrated
I first read Jon Macy's comic Fearful Hunter as single issue floppies, but never saw issues beyond the first two. Now it's expanded to a beautifully rendered 316 pages, with additional "fan fiction" takes of the story by other cartoonists, thanks to Kickstarter support and Northwest Press. (more…)
'Everyone is Someone's Fetish' by Tony Breed
Posted on July 15, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
This selection of comics is taken from Tony Breed's web comic Finn and Charlie are Hitched. Breed started his online comic in 2006, chronicling the lives of two married gay men, before gay marriage was legally sanctioned in large parts of the U.S. The web comic was nominated for an Ignatz award, and the book was published with support from a Kickstarter campaign.

'War of the Streets and Houses' by Sophie Yanow
Posted on June 22, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Illustrated, Reviews
Comics have expanded their turf way beyond the world of superheroes and the funny papers. Graphic novels have doubled the realms of fiction and memoir by adding pictorial storytelling, and non-fiction has been enriched by illustrations which can explain a topic in a way written words can't. (more…)
'Memory Palaces' by Edie Fake
Posted on June 10, 2014 by H. Melt in Illustrated, Reviews
Edie Fake is one of Chicago's treasured artists. As a friendly face behind the counter at Quimby's Bookstore, he's known for supporting the city's independent artists and writers. He encourages budding zinesters to consign their work, is a founding organizer of the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE), and leads by example through his own artwork, including the award winning graphic novel Gaylord Phoenix. The city has embraced him, and rightfully so. (more…)
'The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story' by Vivek J. Tiwary with Illustrations by Andrew C. Robinson and Kyle Baker
Posted on May 29, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
If there were a fifth Beatle, most fans would assume it was Pete Best, the drummer Ringo Starr replaced. But Vivek J. Tiwary's graphic novel (a finalist for a 26th Annual Lambda Literary Award in the graphic novel category) recognizes Brian Epstein as the fifth band member–a silent partner, the brains behind the Beatles' concept. Tiwary admits telling Epstein's story has been his life work, adding, "Why shouldn't he have a life in comics?" (more…)
'100 Crushes' by Elisha Lim
Posted on May 12, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
100 Crushes, a compilation of five years worth of comics by Elisha Lim, is one of those books like Joe Brainard's I Remember; it's a deceptively simple, universally appealing idea that makes a reader think, I could do that. Or more accurately, why didn't I do that? You can't read Elisha Lim's thoughtful portraits of people Lim's had crushes on without wishing you too had kept some kind of record of those who slipped away, who yanked your heartstrings, grabbed your attention or focus or crotch. All those brief, unattainable or inappropriate infatuations that you none-the-less obsessed over–why didn't you keep track of them? Can you even remember them now? (more…)
'A Map of Everything' by Elizabeth Earley
Posted on April 8, 2014 by Theodosia Henney in Fiction, Illustrated
Elizabeth Earley's novel, A Map of Everything, which contains supplemental illustrations by artist Christa Donner, explores the aftermath of a tragedy and its effects on a family. The story is told in fragments, several of which focus on the experiences and whereabouts of the family's five children, though the primary protagonist is Anne, the youngest. When Anne's sister June is involved in a car accident that leaves her with severe physical disabilities as well as permanent traumatic brain injury, Anne begins down a path marked by neglect, self-destruction, abuse, and addiction. The novel not only pieces together a portrait of Anne and her family before and during the event, but shows their progression over the course of two decades, tracing the ways in which their lives continue to be affected by a single traumatic event.
'Pregnant Butch: Nine Long Months Spent in Drag' by A.K. Summers
Posted on March 17, 2014 by ArielleYarwood in Comics, Illustrated
Lessons learned in Pregnant Butch: there are not nearly enough public toilets in New York City, suspenders are not a practical sartorial choice during pregnancy, and castor oil is just disgusting (and may not even induce labor). (more…)

Don't Call it a Comeback, Say Britney Spears Fansby Free Britney at . Comments
With a pair of involuntary hospitalizations, run-ins with shady managers and lovers, being done wheelbarrow style by J.R. Rotem, and enduring a long stint in which she eschewed pants, Britney Spears had a rough go of it for a time.
Yet with a successful new album, Circus, and a nationwide tour packing in crowds all across the country, she's definitely back on top. But was she ever gone?
Before and after Britney's Pittsburgh concert on Friday night, most of her ardent fans agreed that, comeback or not, Spears was on top of her game.
"I don't think she ever went away," said 21-year-old Hugh Stumpp. "She's on top of the world right now and she's continued to grow and it's great."
"Her huge tour comeback just shows how great of an artist she really is and shows how she can bounce back from anything," added Steve Delong, 20.
Whether they're wearing custom "It's Britney B!tch" t-shirts or defending her on "jealous" fan sites, it's obvious that many supporters never left Spears' side.
"Everyone just goes through a rough patch," said fan Danielle DeRuschi, 20. "If you like her then you stand up for her and you just follow her through the end."
She's definitely returning the favor, too, right? Well, try telling that to the popular Britney fan site currently in the process of being shut down by her attorneys.
In any case, no matter the obstacles in her path, the blonde singer has once again taken the world by storm and established herself as the icon of a generation.
The crazy stories and odd behavior from her tour and life won't stop the masses from packing her shows. Click to enlarge more photos of Britney in Pittsburgh ...
During the last 2 or 3 years while Britney was going through
all her difficulties,she was still the most popular entertainer in the world.
She kept releasing singles and albums,appearing on television shows,
appearing on magazine covers,having thousands of articles and pictures
about her in newspapers and magazines and books,etc.
She never really was away so there's no need for a so-called comeback.

Trans-cab Holdings Ltd (or the "Company") is offering 168m shares comprising 65m Cornerstone shares, 94.2m Placement Shares and 8.8m Public Shares at $0.68 each. Out of the 168m shares, 153m will be new shares with the balance vendor shares. There will be an over-allotment option of 20m shares. The IPO will close on 18 Nov 2014 at 12pm and starts trading on 20 Nov 2014.
According to the prospectus, the Company is the second largest taxi operator in Singapore by Fleet Size. In case you have never see a TransCab before, this is how it looks like. A striking red brighter than what you normally see in Hong Kong but with the same sense of familiarity.
This is a simple business so i will not have to explain much. The Company is a taxi operator and acquire and rent out taxis to licensed taxi drivers. According to the prospectus, there are 4 investment highlights, namely:
- Favorable industry trends and outlook -
- Ability to retain and attract taxi drivers
- Ability to capitalize on economies of scale from fleet renewal and expansion
- Experienced and Committed Key Management Team
In case you don't know, Trans-cab was owned by a Union Energy and was granted a taxi operation license only in 2003. The founder, Mr. Teo Kiang Ang, is a secondary school dropout and made a living delivering gas cylinders. His company, Union Energy Corporation, controls more than 30% of the bottled gas market in Singapore and has annual revenue of $130m. A rags to riches story! If you want to read his inspiring story, it can be found here.
Financial Highlights
The Company has shown an increasing trend of revenue and profitability growth for the last 3 years. Probably it has reached an inflection point where it makes sense for the founders to get it listed since the growth will start to "stagnate".
Having said that, the HY2014 numbers continue to show growth of around 20%. Given the stability of this business, I will hazard a guess that the EPS for FY2014 will be between Singapore 6 cents (doubling of 1H2014 adjusted EPS) to 6.48 cents (growth of 20% of adjusted EPS from FY2013). Given that there are some listing expenses and profit sharing to be accounted for and for simplicity, i will use Singapore 6 cents for FY2014 and 6.5 cents (FY2013 adjusted EPS of 5.4 cents x 20% growth) for FY2015.
Based on the forecast adjusted EPS of Singapore 6 cents, the forward PER is around 11.3x for FY2014 and 10.5x for FY2015.
Dividend Policy
The Company intends to distribute not less than 15% of it profit after tax for FY2014 and dividends of not less than 60% of its PAT for FY2015.
Based on 6.5 cents for FY2015, the forward looking yield is actually very decent at around 5.7% (which explains why the insurance-linked asset management companies linked to Prudential and Great Eastern are buying into this stock as it more than matches the liabilities of the insurance policies they have on hand).
What i like about the Company
- While you may argue that the industry is competitive, it is actually a controlled and regulated industry. There are currently six operators in Singapore. The number of licenses to operate are likely to be limited to a few key players and unlikely to increase any more. As LTA is trying to raise the operating standard, I wouldn't be surprised to see some consolidation going on among the smaller taxi operators as you need economies of scale to operate a profitable business.
- Strong take up rate by Cornerstone investors of about 9.4% of the Company. My initial read of the list of cornerstones are more of the long-only investors (Great Eastern, Prudential) and less of the "subscribe and throw" hedge funds. Please do note that they are not subject to any lock up. The IPO has also been priced at the top end of its range due to strong demand
- Well integrated verticals. The Company owns their own vehicle workshops, have lower diesel and CNG pump prices for its drivers and also invests in fuel efficient taxis. So far the trans cab taxis i took from the airport are the hybrid vehicles and they are usually very "green" vehicles that are fuel efficient.
- Stable business and high visibility of recurring income. While there are many taxis plying the roads of Singapore, the income is highly predictable and recurring in nature. People will still use the taxis in good weather or bad and in good times and bad. With Singapore rated as the top Lonely Planet destination for 2015, the tourism industry will likely to continue booming and this bodes well for the sector.
- The existing owners' interest continue to be aligned with the new investors. They own about 72% of the Company and will likely continue to pay out high dividends.
Some of my concerns
- Disrupting technology. I have shared with you my prior experience with Uber in United States. In Singapore, the "car sharing" concept has not been accepted by the authorities. Otherwise, it will affect the livelihood of the taxi operators and companies. Instead of Uber, Grabtaxi is the more established player here. Here is an old article on why Grabtaxi is giving Comfort Delgro a run for its money. Grabtaxi is partly owned by Temasek. Trans-cab should learn how to embrace such taxi apps (instead of creating its own) and worked in partnership with them. However, if the industry is liberalised here to the extent it is in United States, the taxi operators will be in deep trouble.
- Changing regulations. If LTA continues to come up with new and more difficult operating KPIs, the Company may have difficulty complying and this will impact its license.
- Limited scalability. While the Company intends to increase its fleet to 5,234 by end of FY2015 and tender for bus routes in future, Singapore is a small island and the number of taxis are highly limited. It is difficult to scale up the business in a meaningful way. Venturing into bus routes is an unproven business.
- Investors are paying a high 62.5% premium to NAV for depreciating car assets and taxi operating license in exchange for future earnings. I am actually fine with this but just included here in case you share the same concerns.
- The two CEOs are very well remunerated and will receive between $1.25m to $2.25m per year before performance bonus. Probably this is not unusual given that they could have kept all the earnings of the Company of it continues to be privately held.
Fair Value
Comfort Delgro and SMRT are trading at much higher valuations. Given they are "giants", I will not use the same metrics on Trans Cab. However, relative to them, Transcab is more attractively priced although I wouldn't call it a value buy at 11x PE.
Assuming a fair value of between 12-14x PE for FY2015, the fair value trading range will be 78c to 90c.
I will give it a 3 Chilli ratings given its relative better value against its peers, strong cornerstone investors, high recurring income predictability, strong cashflow and good dividend yield. It may be a good hedge against rising transport costs for the longer term too.
Hoot Ah! Happy cabbing.
Please note that Mr. IPO is vested with 14 lots from placement and intent to apply for more at the Public Tranche.

We are officially in rehearsal for our 2014–2015 season! The programming for our upcoming concerts is fun and challenging, and we've already begun rehearsing not only Handel's Messiah, which the FCC will perform this December, but parts of the Mozart Requiem as well, which we perform in the spring.
The Chorale's mission is to perform a broad range of choral music for the benefit of the community, and to champion the appreciation of excellence in choral literature. We've performed repertoire spanning from Bach to Mozart and from Brahms to Britten, and our 100-plus voice auditioned chorus is comprised of members from all over Fairfield and surrounding counties.
Sign up for our email list to receive periodic updates from the FCC—concert announcements, notices of special events, ticketing information, and more. Rest assured that we do not share our list with any third parties.
The Fairfield County Chorale welcomes additional singers! Auditions are held on a rolling basis and are by appointment. You may even simply sit in on a rehearsal and audition afterwards. Get in touch for more information or to sign up!

I bought an Oxford cover; then found a girlfriend who has a garage... Sorry, not much help is it?
Since I have no garage (or space to build/buy a bike hutch), my Oxford aquatex cover has lasted a year and succumbed wind after being weakened by UV.
I'd like something with better materials, design, with heatproof bits where it matters and more longevity.
What are you using? (other than a garage).
I bought an Oxford cover; then found a girlfriend who has a garage... Sorry, not much help is it?
I found that even the most expensive ones are rubbish and rip themselves to shreds in a heavy storm.
Save some cash and get a tarpaulin and some decent bungees.
I'll have to check the make when I get home but I got a bright green and grey cover as a present that has survived quite well. I'm pretty rubbish about putting it away so it has survived being left outside when not on my bike. I'll try and spot one similar as an example.

Hi, need help for a final paper on food trucks!
Hi everyone,
I am a high school junior from Somerville and I am doing a project on food trucks in Boston.
My teacher told me this was the place to go, so hopefully I am not being a bother.
I know about a few of the trucks from visiting them with my dad, and I have read the online schedule, but I am looking for a few suggestions on the ones to check out.
I have been to Clover, Roxy's, Bon Me, and Mei Mei.
I am looking to find a few trucks that won't find talking to me annoying (I plan on emailing, not approaching during hours).
Thank you for any help you might be able to give me!
Hi Sarah,
What an awesome project! I don't know enough about the people who run the food trucks to be able to say who'd be most willing to talk to you, but a good way to find ones that interest you might be to hit up some of the places that host multiple food trucks at once, such as SoWa every Sunday or the Greenway sites Monday-Saturday. This would allow you to see a lot of them at once, see what aspects of them appeal to you and/or are most suitable for your project, and come up with a longer list of trucks to contact.
What a great project. Best of luck in your research - you sure have a fun topic. Here are a few links that may be of help - the Boston Food Truck Schedule: http://tinyurl.com/BFTruck and another website - Hub Food Trucks, that covers the food truck scene: http://hubfoodtrucks.com/
Good luck! I bet anyone you approach will be more than willing to help you out. Food people are generally generous with their time and their help! :)
re: Small Plates
I would also contact Steve who runs the Hub Food Truck site. He is a great guy and knows as much about the Boston food truck scene as anyone. I'm sure he would meet you at a truck if you could match a time.
You might also want to interview someone from the City for that perspective.
Naturally you will have to pick slow times to talk with the operators. These people work flat out when the lines form and at places like SOWA.
You might be interested in this very recent thread (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9747...) that contains a link to a NY Times article that states that food trucks have their origins locally.
I have found almost all the truck vendors to be incredibly friendly and talkative, I don't think you'll have a problem there. As far as trucks to check out, I am fond of the Chicken and Rice guys, Tenoch Movil (always super busy though, might want to contact them directly via their facebook page and see if you can't nail an interview), and Clover (who have always been chatty, so I'd bet you'd get some good info from them). Good luck, hope you get an A!!!!
Thank you so much for the suggestions.
I looked at the list and these are the ones I am most interested in but I do not know anything about them: Moyzilla, Sweet Tomatoes, The Bacon Truck, and Stoked Pizza?
I have to write about the use of social media in my paper so I hope I am heading in the right direction.
I have never eaten at any of these but my dad said he will take me to any of them next week!
Thank you everyone,
re: sarahbonf
An interesting angle might be to compare those who've gone from truck to restaurant (Bon Me, Mei Mei, Roxy's) with restaurants that have started a truck (Redbones in your hometown, Sweet Tomatoes, Captain Marden's, Zo).
re: CportJ
Pennypackers- also a Somerville truck-to-bricks and mortar example
re: Parsnipity
The Pennypackers guys are also super friendly and chatty. At least they were the one time I was at their truck.
re: sarahbonf
I think Clover's truck came first, but they have so many locations now that I can't remember. It's funny, it wasn't very long ago.
re: sarahbonf
The sweet tomatoes people that I have encountered on their truck are super nice. They have 3 restaurants in Newton/Needham.
The Bacon Truck is ironically based out of a health club, at least for right now. My gym, the Boston Athletic Club in Southie. But I've never tried it.
You might consider sending the trucks you're interested in a note on Twitter. If they're interested in chatting, they'll respond.
re: C. Hamster
That doesn't sound like the best place to sell bacon.
I suggest you consider interviewing the customers, too.
Of course you'll have to ask, politely, if they'd mind assisting you in your project. And talk to them while they're on line, not while they're eating. Make a list of questions to ask each responder, including whether they patronize the trucks on weekends, during the work week, or both. Are food trucks their choice for workweek lunches, and if so, where did these people eat before the trucks came to the area. You might also talk to brick-and-mortar eateries in the vicinity and ask how the trucks have impacted THEIR business and bottom line.
I know a Harvard student who did exactly what you are doing for her senior year thesis. Could put you in touch.

Originally featured back in October of 2011, Sean Paul's current single has received the official remix treatment with the help of a fellow club heavyweight. On this version of She Doesn't Mind, Latin-rap hitmaker Pitbull joins the dancehall heavyweight over Benny Blanco's thumping synth-percussion boardwork. Available now internationally, Sean Paul's Tomahawk Technique LP has yet to be scheduled for Stateside release. Booth readers, however, will be the first to know if and when that changes.

LaFontaine continues: "Hockey players spend time on exercise bikes, but we are not built to run and swim. There are times I think I spent 15 years as a pro athlete. I don't need this. But what gets me through training or those moments when you cramp up a little bit is the thought that, okay, there's a greater cause here. Kids are worrying about much more the sore muscles and I'm telling them to keep going." Even in retirement, the man who scored over a thousand points in a brilliant NHL career is still racking up valuable assists.read on... recommended reading...

Flyers Keep Hitch Around

via the Delco Times,
The Flyers announced today they have named former coach Ken Hitchcock a pro scout. "I've had some discussions over the last few days with Hitch and I think that it's important that he stay close to the game, stay in the game," interim general manager Paul Holmgren said in a statement. "I am grateful to Mr. Snider and Paul for giving me the opportunity to stay involved in the organization and help whenever I can," Hitchcock said in the statement. "I don't make any secret of the fact that I want to be a head coach again in the National Hockey League, but this is an opportunity for me to help in any way possible by watching other teams play, watching other players perform and helping Paul in the evaluation of other players and other teams."

from the blog of Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun,
The presence of four Los Angeles Kings scouts at last night's Habs-Senators game (when neither of those teams play the Kings this season) has got speculation going of an impending deal between the Senators and the Kings. Tony Marinaro, who covers the Habs for the Team 990 in Montreal, said on his station this morning he had it "confirmed" the Kings scouts were there to look at Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson.continued updated 4:56pm, from the same blog,
Senators GM John Muckler just told colleague Bruce Garrioch there's no deal in the works to send Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson to the Los Angeles Kings. Not that I would expect Muckler to say, "Yeah, I'm going to trade his butt out of here."

Google & NHL Become Partners

NEW YORK (Nov. 1, 2006)- NHL Interactive Cyber Enterprises (ICE), the digital arm of the National Hockey League (NHL), today announced a multi-year deal to provide NHL video content to Google Video. The NHL will provide in-season full-length games on delay to Google Video at http://video.google.com/nhl.html Googl.e also will receive select NHL classic games. In addition to the game content, the NHL also will work with Google to allow certain NHL themed user-generated content on http://video.google.com/nhl.html This .is the first time Google Video has worked with a major professional sports league in such a manner. To celebrate its 89th season and this increased access to video content, the NHL will be offering its content for free – without ads – for the first two weeks of November. "When web users are searching for diverse video content, Google Video is the first place they go, just as NHL.com is the first place hockey fans go when they want NHL video," said Keith Ritter, President of NHL ICE. "The combination of our content and Google's massive reach is a terrific pairing, and we're excited to add fan-generated content to the mix." update 3:45pm, from Bufalo Business Journal,
The National Hockey League has annunced a new multi-year video content deal with Google Video making full-length games from the '06-07 season and some classic games available for online purchase on a 48-hour, tape-delay basis. Pricing is still being finalized, but games are likely to cost $2.99 each after a free trial for the first two weeks of November. The deal arrives after a beta test on Google Video, as well as an offering last spring in which condensed NHL playoff games were sold on Apple' iTunes store. Discussions about a future video content deal with Apple are still ongoing, Ritter said, as are efforts to offer live streaming of games online. No timetable exists for either initiative.more

Canadian sports channel, TSN, will tonight begin offering a two-screen, Web-based interactive TV application to accompany its coverage of NHL When viewers access the application, they will first be asked to choose a team to support in the game, and will then gain or lose points as their team scores or is penalized. They will also be able to gain points by correctly answering hockey-related trivia questions and questions about the app's sponsor, by participating in polls, and also by playing hockey-themed mini-games that will appear in the app during half time (?) and commercial breaks.more

Leafs Lunch- Campbell Wants Leafs GM Job

Bill Watters on Leafs Lunch mentioned that Colin Campbell turned down the Flyers GM job. What is interesting is Watters stated Campbell wants the Leafs GM job. The pressure is always on John Ferguson Jr. added 3:29pm, from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
I believe Colin Campbell turned down the Philadelphia Flyers job because he would rather work for the St. Louis Blues and his friend John Davidson when Larry Pleau's contract as general manager expires at the end of the season. In fact, at the Memorial Cup a good source from the Ontario Hockey League whispered in my ear that Kitchener Rangers coach Peter DeBoer was on his way to joining the Blues as an assistant coach because Campbell had offered him an assistant coach position.more

Musictown Vs. Hockeytown

from George Johnson at ESPN,
These whacky Preds actually believe they can contend for the Stanley Cup. A team from Music City, USA. And why not? The last two franchises to hoist the hallowed mug, the Lightning and Hurricanes, aren't exactly located in traditional hockey hotbeds. After a jittery opening three games, Barry Trotz's boys have stepped on the gas and rediscovered their groove. With the Stevie Y-less, Shanny-less Detroit Red Wings revamping and the title of Hockeytown very much a debatable one these days, the Predators, built on speed and sass, are a perfect fit for the new NHL, the upwardly mobile yuppies of the Central Division.more...on the Preds...

Charles Arlinghaus: A brazen attempt to hold schools hostage
New Hampshire's charter school law has been in limbo for the better part of a year. The Attorney General's Office has told the state Board of Education that its interpretation of language passed last session prohibits the board from allowing any new schools to open. Oddly, the authors of that language intended precisely the opposite.
This session, to clear up the misunderstanding or competing interpretations, legislation was proposed to restore the old statutory language. The sole purpose of such a change is to clarify the board's ability to authorize schools and resolve the attorney general's objection.
How controversial is this bill? It isn't. The bill was endorsed by the House Education committee and passed the full House on a voice vote. Nor is this a partisan issue. The current governor has a history of being supportive of charter schools and her budget includes the funding to open a few more each of the next two years. This legislation makes that possible.
Further according to a recent news report "the Board of Education and the Attorney General have both said they would welcome the clarity such a change could provide."
So without any concerted opposition, this common-sense legislation should pass quickly so the new schools everyone agrees should be authorized can open and be ready for the school year starting in September. So it would have seemed until political gamesmanship entered the stage.
Although it has already passed the House once, the bill has to go before the House Finance Committee. It was in Finance that the games began. Rep. Dan Eaton saw the bill as a political pawn to be held hostage.
Eaton is a particularly powerful member of House Democratic leadership. He is both majority floor leader (a key parliamentary position) and chairman of division 2 of House Finance (one of the most important budget writing positions).
In a public hearing, Eaton discussed with a lobbyist testifying before the committee his idea that the House neither pass nor defeat the bill. Instead, he wanted to hold the bill - and therefore the ability of the government to authorize new charter schools that the governor and state board are ready to support - hostage to future budget negotiations.
Eaton said "I'm looking at this as political. I want to have a trump card or two, and this is a healthy trump card" for a future negotiation with the Senate over the state budget.
Consider what he's saying: He liked the bill and supports the policy, but he believes he can use the bill as part of a hostage negotiation with the Senate. He wants to say to the Senate "I know you want this, but we'll kill it even though we like it too unless you do something else we want that is completely unrelated."
Without question, some give and take and normal compromise will be part of a budget process. Everyone expects the House and Senate to pass different budgets and to then negotiate over the details of what gets included. But this bill isn't part of that process and wouldn't be part of that negotiation unless Eaton gets to keep it captive in a back room. In effect, he's looking at charter schools and saying, "I'm sorry you got caught in the crossfire, but I think I can sell you for a good price."
The governor's budget plans on five additional charter schools opening in September. The state Board of Education has said there are five schools ready to be authorized as soon as this language is in place. What no one counted on was Eaton's desire to "have a trump card or two."
Every session there are maverick legislators who go off on their own with some half-baked plan. But remember that Dan Eaton is no maverick backbencher. What makes this attempted abuse of power harder to excuse is that he's one of the most powerful members of leadership. Division chair of House Finance is one of the most powerful positions in the House, as is majority floor leader, and he has both jobs.
There's a simple solution here: kill it or pass it. The bill isn't complicated. You want to authorize new schools or you want to extend a moratorium. But don't hold schools hostage to your Machiavellian budget gamesmanship.

Longbourn is the best vacation rental we have had on our 4 month trip. I was so sad to leave and still find myself sneaking looks at it online!
We stayed for 8 days at the end of August, with our 3 kids and it was heaven. The house is like a grand established dame with a sassy modern interior. The website somehow doesn't quite do her justice and I was worried the house might be a bit too quirky. Perhaps its because there is so much to photograph, it's hard to follow and get a feel for the place and layout.
The rooms are all great, the beds are so comfortable which was a treat after travelling around Asia. The downstairs bedrooms do not have ensuites, but they all have double doors opening to the garden area and the bathroom and shower rooms are just down the hall - fine for family and close group of friends. Others might feel odd walking through the house in towels. Perfect for us.
The top floor of the main house is huge with a great sitting area, sofas, own shower room - my daughter was ecstatic. The top floor of the studio was a haven for my son with an enormous bathroom - shower area with 3 shower heads and body jets, 2 sinks and huge jet bath. All fittings are state of the art.
The kitchen is divine, fully equipped with anything you might need. In fact all equip though out the house is top quality...webber BBQ, Aga oven and hob, fischer paykel washing machine I think, great dryer, brilliant clothes horse, good hair dryers, great tv and stereo.....definitely not what you would expect in a rental. It is a wonderful home which is being lent out.
There is a stunning stone bath outside by the deck, the sauna and shower area are supreme. The garden is beautifully lit up at night and has numerous water features. There are decks and sofas and sun chairs and day beds...there is so much space for people to hang out and relax.
We rented bikes and it was a 5- 10 min cycle to the centre and beaches - everything in Byron is so close that you don't need to be plonked in the very centre. And The Top Shop is a 2 min walk from the door - perfect for incredible breakfasts and lunches. People come from all over to eat here and it was input doorstep.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Here are some strategies from four unique industries using video in a way that may not be the flashiest way possible, but they provide value in that they educate, and sell though showing expert knowledge in a category.
YouTube is experimenting with a cookie that removes ads from the site. Who knows their real intentions here, but they're likely testing the user experience in some way. Eagle-eyed cookie monsters are implementing the code into their browsers while it lasts.
A look at football, the English way, and football the American way....and how videos kicking off their new seasons are trying to appeal to audiences. The two videos in question: An American Coach in London with Jason Sudeikis and Football on Your Phone with the Mannings.
As web video grows more popular and the tools for creating and uploading it become more accessible, plenty of professionals want in on the action—but they don't always know the best way to do it. See the most common mistakes the budding video marketer can make, and how to avoid making them.
Here's exactly why you should be using TrueView ads when you set up a YouTube marketing campaign, as illustrated by Greg Jarboe in this week's Creator's Tip. Jarboe has seen why these ads are incredibly powerful in today's YouTube advertising.
During the ReelSEO Video Marketing Summit, we teamed with Spot Trender to create a contest for best videos in categories such as B2C, B2B, and PSA. Spot Trender used a reaction graph to select the winners. Would you like to see who won? Read on.
This is the list of top-viewed YouTube ads for July. As should be no surprise, many of these ads have a ton of paid views. That doesn't mean these ads are bad, but some are not so extraordinary to get so many views. Anyway, here's what topped the charts on YouTube in July.
Some statistics you can take with you during the month of August, while you're laying out on a beach somewhere. Learn about the Gen C audience, refresh your knowledge about features on YouTube, and how YouTube compares to Sharknado. Why not?
The Top 20 shared branded campaigns of July, according to Unruly. In the mix: that Geico camel continues to be shared at an incredible pace, cats try to be more like dogs, a nifty video from Honda featuring hands, and Grand Theft Auto V.
In this week's Creator's Tip, we go long! We get BLASTmedia's Ryan Noel to tell us everything about AdWords for Video: where to start, who to target, where the ads will appear, the frequency at which they will appear, and so on. Follow this video to start becoming a master.
When clients don't divulge their creative budgets to vendors, it just wastes a lot of time and money on both ends of the deal. While the client may want to keep that secret in the attempt to prevent getting fleeced, creative vendors don't want to take advantage, they just want to know where to aim.
Brands should let their customers do the talking by becoming brand advocates and sending their own user-generated video content through social media to spread the word. There are a number of ways to get your fan base excited about doing this for you, and how it can be a fun and cost-effective method of advertising.
We talked to Google/YouTube's Suzie Reider, Director of Media Solutions, also our keynote speaker at the ReelSEO Marketing Summit this Friday. What exactly do brands need to keep in mind when creating content for YouTube? Suzie's got some stats, tips, and top-notch info for us to consider.
The benefits of buying video ad space in real time are laid out. With real-time buying set to increase 57 percent by 2014, and will make up 25 percent of the entire online video spend, it's time to learn what exactly is attractive about programmatic real-time ad buying.
Brands often suffer from "Television Syndrome" and "Viralitis" when it comes to creating video, expecting the things that work on TV to work on YouTube, or shooting for a viral video when "virality" is more for entertainment value than brand lift. So what's the cure?

This is pretty huge for iTunes/iPod.
ANYWHERE that can show a URL, from application windows to blogs to forum signatures to banner ads to extensive sites like this one… now has an incentive to give advertising to Apple. This may eat into Apple profits but it's a big blow to anyone trying to catch up with iTunes' lead.
Yet another Apple first.
(I don't like the "idea" of lossy compression—I'm the same way about a really high-quality print JPEG—but in reality I can't hear the difference, and blind tests show that I'm far from alone.)

Posted by Alden on September 1, 2004 at 6:03 PM (CDT)
Good idea for Apple, but it's not as if others won't get in on this, too.
Who is Google going to link to?
Who is MSN going to link to?
Who is Yahoo! going to link to?
Hell, microsoft.com is one of the most visited sites on the web…I bet they'll link to their own music store when it starts.
I think what's really going on here is that companies/universities are not satisfied with funneling all their traffic/sales to Apple and they want a cut.
If I was UCLA and I started hooking up my student body with iTunes and they were downloading thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of songs, I wouldn't think Apple was doing me a favor…I would think I was doing Apple a favor and would want my share.
Apple is always fixated on what you can do for them…pay high prices for their computers and iPods…but, ultimately this tide will turn and universities will ask what can Apple do for us. They don't want a discount on songs for their student body, they want Apple to pay to supply their student body.

how can you find out if your campus is part of this program? Is there a listing somewhere?
Posted by campus on September 1, 2004 at 9:50 PM (CDT)
This isn't something you need your campus to be a part of. Anyone can download from iTunes, and anyone can be an affiliate and make some money by adding iTunes links to your site.
An affiliate link program isn't how universities would get paid—although something similar might well be offered to them. But universities aren't signing up with music services to make money anyway—there's just not much money to be made. They're signing up to protect themselves legally, by offering at least a token alternative to illegal downloading. (Frankly, it's an absurd twist of the law to consider universities responsible for that anyway!)
Posted by Nagromme on September 1, 2004 at 11:48 PM (CDT)
You're right it is absurd to place a university responsible for what its students are doing online.
I know iniversities are not seeing it as a money making opportunity yet, but soon they will wake up and smell the coffee.
Apple and the Record Labels have scared institutions into thinking they will be responsible for downloading that takes place on their campus. Soon, schools will call Apple's and the Label's bluff by saying…you want access to my buyers, then we get a commission.
You may think it's silly for a university to quibble over what may not seem like much money, but look at a student's bill for college…the school charges for everything under the sun. Hell, the don't even give you a free ScanTron to take a test on.

Does anyone actually buy music from iTunes? If you do, man I feel sorry for you. Really, has there ever been anyone who filled up a 40 gig iPod all with one dollar per song mp3s? Talk about a waste of money….
If you know where to look, music is available for free and without having to pony up one dollar per track. And no, I'm not talking about Kazaa, which is a steaming pile of dung.
Bottom line, most people that decry file-sharing programs have only used Kazaa. There are _much_ better programs out there. By the way, no one downloads track-by-track anymore. The way it is now is to bundle every track from an album in a zip or rar file.
