Statik Selektah - The Thrill Is Gone ft. Styles P. & Talib Kweli
Artist: Statik Selektah
Featuring: Styles P., Talib Kweli
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: The Hangover
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 33 votes )
Though Statik Selektah's latest single sees the Lawrence, Massachusetts DJ/producer using a classic Biggie sample to express his disenchantment with today's hip-hop, The Thrill Is Gone isn't as pessimistic as its title implies—actually, it seems more like a challenge than a dour indictment of the game. Guest artists Styles P. and Talib Kweli prove determined to rekindle that spark; the Ghost acknowledges that simply looking back isn't the answer, and suggests emcees, "rap about a thought that you had on your mind" rather than falling back on overdone topics like "swag" and "the grind," while Kweli elects to show rather than tell, expressing his passion for the genre in a poetically allusive middle verse. Statik accompanies his collaborators' deep thoughts with a jazzy, sampled instrumental sure to have old-school heads bobbing. Those who like what they hear can look forward to an unusually pleasant Hangover this summer, when Selektah's latest LP hits stores.

SBD/6/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published March 6, 1995
MLB owners will be asked to pick two expansion cities for 1998 and to set a price for the team when they meet in Palm Beach this week. Representatives from each group vying for a franchise -- Orlando, Tampa/St. Pete, Phoenix, and two bids from Northern VA -- will give a half-hour presentation on Tuesday afternoon. The expansion committee "will meet jointly with the executive council to make its recommendation." A final decision could come Thursday after the owners debates the matter. Tampa/St. Petersburg and Phoenix are the favorites to be awarded expansion teams to begin play in '98, and the committee could also recommend "a second wave of expansion that would start no earlier than the year 2000" (Bill Chastain, TAMPA TRIBUNE, 3/4). But, the "call for new presentations would seem to indicate that no final decision has been made yet on where to expand and when" (Thom Loverro, WASHINGTON TIMES, 3/3). BOOST FOR ORLANDO? Prospective Orlando owner Norton Herrick received written assurances from two Florida officials, Attorney General Bob Butterworth and U.S. Senator Connie Mack, that they aren't pulling for St. Petersburg over Orlando in the two cities' bids for expansion. Herrick called the letters "significant" since it "debunked" the perception Tampa Bay is "owed a team and has the legal and lawmaking muscle of several high-powered politicians behind it" (Lebowitz & Tracy, ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/4).

Franklin Resources Inc.
) declared preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $809.8
billion by its subsidiaries for Jan 2013. The company's results
witnessed a rise of 3.6% from $781.8 billion as of Dec 31, 2012.
Moreover, it increased 15.0% from $704.3 billion as of Jan 31,
Month-end total equity assets came in at $318.2 billion,
increasing 4.9% from the prior month, and 10.4% on a
year-over-year basis. Of the total equity assets, around 73% were
from international sources, while the remaining 27% were from the
Total fixed income assets were $360.5 billion, rising 2.5% from
$351.7 billion as of Dec 31, 2012, and augmenting 16.3% from
$309.9 billion as of Jan 31, 2012. Overall, tax-free assets
accounted for only 24% of the fixed income assets, while the
remaining 76% were taxable.
Franklin recorded $125.2 billion in hybrid assets, which edged up
3.5% from $121.0 billion in the prior month and surged 25.3% from
$99.9 billion in the prior-year month.
Cash management funds were reported at $5.9 billion, surging 3.5%
from the prior month but waning 6.3% from the prior-year month.
Quarterly Performance
On a quarterly basis, as of Dec 31, 2012, total AUM was $781.8
billion, up from $749.9 billion as of Sep 30, 2012, driven by
market appreciation of $24.8 billion and $8.7 billion from an
Simple monthly average AUM of $763.6 billion during the quarter

$2.9 billion in the prior quarter.
Peer Performance

Invesco Ltd.
) recorded a rise in its preliminary month-end AUM for Jan 2013.
The AUM for the month was $712.6 billion compared with $687.7
billion at the end of Dec 2012. Favorable market returns as well
as surge in both active and passive long-term inflows were the
primary reasons for the rise. Yet, foreign exchange led to a $3.0
billion drop in AUM.
Another peer,
Legg Mason Inc.
) reported marginal increase in its AUM as of Jan 31, 2013.
Preliminary month-end AUM came in at $654.1 billion, up 0.8%
compared with the prior month. Equity AUM and liquidity AUM were
up in the month under review, though Fixed Income AUM declined.
Our Viewpoint
Franklin's global footprint is an exceptionally favorable
strategic point as its AUM is well diversified. The company is
also poised to benefit from its strong balance sheet. However,
regulatory restrictions and sluggish economic growth could mar
AUM improvement and alleviate costs. Additionally, higher
expenses remain a matter of concern.
Franklin currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Among peers,

katsav appeal 311.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
Former president Moshe Katsav will remain free until his appeal process is
completed.Supreme Court Justice Yoram Danziger ruled on Wednesday that
Katsav, who was convicted of rape and sexual harassment, and sentenced to seven
years in prison by the Tel Aviv District Court, is not a flight risk nor does he
present a danger to the public.
RELATED:Prosecution demands Katsav be treated like any other felonSupreme Court hearing on Katsav sentence beginsBan lifted on Katsav trial testimony: 'He really raped me'Danziger added that Katsav's chances of a
successful appeal were good enough to warrant him remaining free for the time
being. "It is impossible to say that Katsav's chances on appeal are without a
basis," the justice wrote in his ruling.In his decision, Danziger
stressed the fact that Katsav being a former president did not affect his ruling
and that all are equal before the law. The justice also emphasized that his
decision did not reflect on the chances for success of the forthcoming appeal
and that his assessment was not binding on the court's future
decisions.In a 25-page ruling, Danziger explained his decision to let
Katsav remain free, citing extensively from Supreme Court decisions in similar
cases."This court's rulings teach us that even in cases where the
appellant was handed a long sentence, between four and 10 years, for severe
sexual offenses, the court agreed to stay the execution of the sentence until
the appeal is complete," he wrote.Danziger outlined the criteria a judge
must consider when deciding whether someone convicted of a serious crime is
allowed to remain free pending an appeal. These include: level of danger to the
public, the length of the sentence, the chances of a successful appeal, the
appellant's criminal record, the appellant's personal circumstances, and whether
the appeal concerns the sentence alone or also the conviction.The ruling
indicated that in light of some of the decisions of the lower court, which were
subject to differing interpretations, there is a chance that the rape conviction
will be dropped altogether.Danziger highlighted the district court's
decision not to accept the defense team's secondary argument that Katsav had at
most taken advantage of his position and sexually harassed "Aleph from the
Tourism Ministry," but had not used force to rape her, as well as the court's
blanket rejection of Katsav's alibis, as possible grounds for a successful appeal.Regarding the remaining three charges –
sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and obstruction of justice – the justice
wrote, "The district court convicted the appellant on these charges based on the
reliability of findings, after hearing directly from the complainants, witnesses
and the appellant, the complainants' accusations being independently
substantiated. Without setting anything in stone, I don't believe the
appellant possesses an established defense for these charges."Danziger
said, however, that if Katsav was convicted on the remaining three charges
alone, or if his rape conviction was overturned on appeal, there was good chance
he would receive no prison time.Danziger stressed that he accepted the
prosecution's argument that the fact that Katsav had served as the eighth
president of the state should not be given weight in a court ruling, but added
that it was the right of every citizen to have the execution of his sentence
stayed pending appeal."The appellant's case should be like that of any
other citizen in which the appeal court examines the possibility of staying
execution, and the considerations should be the same. The appellant is not
entitled at this stage, after being convicted and sentenced, to enjoy special
privileges compared to any other citizen who was tried, found guilty, convicted
and sentenced; it would be improper, however, to deny him his rights because of
the high ranking post he filled at the time," the justice said.Danziger
released Katsav, ordering him to deposit NIS 300,000 bail, NIS 100,000 of his
own and the remainder from two guarantors. Katsav was ordered not to leave the
country and told that his passport would remain in the court's
custody.The ruling was received with dismay by women's rights groups.
The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel said the court's decision to go
easy on a convicted sex offender and postpone his sentence sent a harsh message
to the public."The fact that Moshe Katsav was president should not ease
his punishment, on the contrary; because he is a former president the court
should have been more severe with him and not postpone the punishment he was
handed down," the group said in a statement."The court's ruling today
damaged the sense of equality before the law and enabled a former president, who
was determined to be a sex offender, to carry on with his life while the
taxpayers continue to sponsor him," said Ronit Ehrenfreund- Cohen, the director
of the Women's Status Promotion Department at the Women's International Zionist
Organization (WIZO). "This ruling sends a harsh message to women victims that
even after a person is convicted of serious sex crimes, he can still postpone
the sentence and walk around free for an unknown, though apparently long,
time."Moshe Negbi, legal correspondent and analyst for Israel Radio,
said Danziger's decision undermined the principle of equality before the
law.Neither Katsav nor any of his family members agreed to comment on
the ruling, but his lawyers said he received the news with mixed
feelings."The stay gives him reason for optimism, but that is mixed with
great sorrow over the fervor of those who support the prosecution," attorney
Zion Amir said.Amir said he welcomed the justice's ruling on the stay of
execution, and that it strengthened the defense team's belief that the
convictions could be reversed. He said that throughout the entire trial the fact
that Katsav had been president worked against them and not in their
favor.Though a date has yet to be set for the start of the appeal
process, Danziger indicated it would be held soon.

Playing a puppet in Avenue Q is a dream come true for Jeremy Crittenden.
Mark Leiren-Young Special to The Vancouver Sun
The Arts Club production of Saint Joan is a spirited theatrical experience made all the more powerful by some excellent performances and deft direction.
When Urinetown was making a splash in New York in 2001 just after 9-11, Donna Spencer was in the audience thinking, Vancouver audiences need to see this.
The popular image of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is often one of powerlessness and poverty. But the tiniest scratch at the surface uncovers a rich history of individuals who have banded together to build community and fight the ingrained power structures that have kept them down.
Even before it opens tonight at the Vancouver Playhouse, Vancouver Opera's Stickboy (by writer Shane Koyczan and composer Neil Weisensel) has already made its mark on opera culture.
Anna Hagan doesn't remember much about meeting playwright Edward Albee beyond his attitude. "He was very pleasant, he was very accessible." says Hagan.
Most theatre people remember their first true love. Maybe they can't recall their first date, or the first person they kissed, but they know which play or performance they saw that made them realize they weren't just in a theatre, they were home.
What makes a great teacher? Can you ever teach a true understanding of poetry? These are the questions at the heart of the Arts Club's somewhat unmemorable new production of the classic English comedy about class and literary classics, Educating Rita.
The night I saw the play My Rabbi at Victoria's Belfry Theatre, Victoria's Rabbi Harry Brechner was sitting right in front of me. The thought-provoking new Canadian drama about a fraying friendship between a Jew and a Muslim — which opens the Firehall Arts Centre's season Oct. 7 — lasted about 60 minutes.
It was a windy October evening in East Van when I first met Butt Kapinski. The city streets were filled with the rattle of dry leaves and in the air lingered a hint of decay as sweet as cheap perfume. As the usher hustled me into the black box room at the back of The Cultch, he handed me a program and gave me a single final warning: no seat is safe.
Ronnie Burkett has found success once again with his cabaret-style production The Daisy Theatre. After a critically acclaimed run last year, the endlessly inventive puppeteer returns to Vancouver with a few new handmade marionettes and an imagination full of risqué humour.
Thanks to his boss at Staples, Sunee Dhaliwal has a career in comedy. In 2007, his boss signed Dhaliwal up for an open-mike night, and things have never been the same — for one thing, he had to quit his job (and his criminology studies) to keep up with the demand.
Ronnie Burkett is just getting to know the latest cast member of his comedy cabaret. Randee Rivers is a Cotton Club blues singer and Burkett has to stop modelling the head of his newest marionette to get the phone in his Toronto workshop.
The Daisy Theatre – Ronnie Burkett (Toronto), Sept 23 – Oct 12, 8pm – Historic Theatre at The Cultch - Back by popular demand! Returning after a completely sold out 2013 run, don't miss your chance to see the production.
Here's something the folks at Disney can take real pride in: The Lion King is the top ticket of all time.

There is a time-honored rule in procurement that says vendors rely on the advice of their contracting officers at their own risk. It seems that not a month goes by without the continued viability of this rule being tested by a company and reaffirmed by a court or board of contract appeals. Last month, United Partition Systems Inc., a 16-year veteran of the General Services Administration's schedule contracts program, became the most recent test case.
In 2000, the Air Force awarded United Partition Systems a $108,404 task order under its schedule contract. A dispute later arose between the parties concerning the company's performance, which led to a termination of the order for reason of default. The Air Force termination letter informed the company that it could submit a claim pursuant to the contract's dispute clause.
The company subsequently filed a claim with the Air Force contracting officer. Not surprisingly, it was denied. The decision advised United Partition Systems that it could appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA). With high hopes, the company did so.
Unfortunately, the contracting officer was a little confused. A termination dispute in which a vendor claims that it was not responsible for the performance problems that the government alleges goes to the GSA contracting officer, not the contracting officer of the ordering agency. Furthermore, if the vendor appeals the contracting officer's final decision, that appeal goes to the GSA Board of Contract Appeals, not ASBCA. Accordingly, the ASBCA concluded that it lacked jurisdiction and dismissed the company's appeal entirely.
The fact that United Partition Systems was simply following the direction of its contracting officer was of no importance.
The Air Force contracting officer perhaps can be forgiven for not fully understanding the rules governing disputes involving GSA schedule contracts. After all, the rules are not models of clarity.
The termination for default clause for GSA schedule contracts, however, has not been modified. Therefore, in the context of a GSA schedule contract, a termination dispute that involves a vendor's claim that the alleged performance problems were excusable still must be directed to the GSA contracting officer.
All of this is probably no great solace to United Partition Systems, which now must begin the dispute process anew before another GSA contracting officer. It could have been worse.
In the end, the fundamental rule that emerges from United Partition Systems' experience is no different from the rule that contractors — old and new — have learned the hard way for years: Although contracting officers often are excellent sources of information regarding complex rules and regulations, their advice should mark the beginning of a contractor's inquiry, not the end.

Temecula Valley Unified School District is located in the Inland Empire, one hour north of San Diego in Southern California. The district's 2,600 dedicated employees serve more than 28,000 students across a geographic boundary of more than 200 square miles. The mission of Temecula Valley Unified School District is to ensure high-quality teaching and learning for all students and to provide an environment in which all children are encouraged to develop to their maximum potential. An ENERGY STAR Partner since 2012, the district is firmly committed to reducing its carbon footprint and responsibly managing its finances and the natural environment.
Temecula Valley Unified School District has been recognized by EPA as an ENERGY STAR Leader for improving the energy efficiency of its facilities by more than 10 percent compared to a 2011 baseline and as a Top Performer for achieving an average ENERGY STAR 1-100 score of 75 across its portfolio of buildings. Building on previous cost-saving measures, the district implemented a comprehensive energy management program and partnered with Cenergistic (formerly Energy Education, Inc.) in 2012 to create two full-time energy management positions fully funded by cost savings. The successful people-based conservation effort has saved more than $1.5 million in utility costs. The district remains committed to energy conservation efforts and continues to practice responsible stewardship of its resources. Compared to its baseline, the district currently prevents more than 930 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by more than 24,000 tree seedlings planted and grown for 10 years.

Walmart vs. the World: 11/28
This Black Friday join the Movement Generation Justice & Ecology Project to condemn Walmart as one of the planet's worst climate criminals, destroying land & life from Richmond to Bangladesh. We'll stand side-by-side with Walmart workers organizing for $15/hour, full-time work, and the respect they deserve. There will be political theatre, hands-on art, DJs, & food!
Walmart's war on workers is a war on planet Earth. Walmart has tried to salvage their tarnished reputation through greenwashing. But no amount of rooftop solar or energy efficient refrigerators can conceal the fact that Walmart is one of the planet's worst climate criminals. Walmart's business model - worker exploitation, intensive resource extraction, globalized production and distribution, rampant consumerism, ruthless supplier competition, and subversion of our democracy - is at war with life on Earth.
In 2012, Walmart generated $16 billion in profit. The Walton family is worth $145 billion. These unprecedented profits have been extracted from the uncompensated labor of its workers at every stage of its global chain of production, as well as from the natural world. It is this extreme concentration of wealth wielded like a chainsaw against the natural world which is at the root of the ecological crisis:
- Walmart exploits workers worldwide. Walmart's chain of production is a chain of exploitation - Thousands of subcontracted workers in Bangladesh risk and lose their lives stitching "lowest price" garments, which are moved across the country by subcontracted port truck drivers, dubbed "sweatshops on wheels," and sold by Walmart retail associates making poverty wages.
- Walmart has a massive ecological footprint. Walmart's endless rows of plastic products and electronics demand ever intensifying oil and mineral extraction. Their stores are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. And Walmart's globalized supply chain model makes it the largest importer of containerized ocean cargo in the U.S., one of the leading sources of pollution.
- Walmart destroys local, living economies. Walmart actively drives out of business smaller, public transit-friendly, and environmentally-sustainable neighborhood retail districts, public markets, and "mom and pop" stores to make way for its highly-polluting, land-intensive, auto-oriented stores. Its impoverishment of workers and communities then guarantees customers too poor to shop anywhere else.
- Walmart undermines our democracy. Walmart's PAC funnels millions of dollars to climate deniers and other lawmakers on the wrong side of climate policy - backing the Keystone XL pipeline, supporting subsidies for big oil, blocking the EPA's ability to regulate CO2 emissions, and protecting the fracking industry from regulation. Walmart's funds to ALEC support mass incarceration when Walmart is committing the real crime of creating poverty and pollution.

BAAQMD Climate Committee Meeting 12/1
|Advocate for a cap on Bay Area refinery GHG emissions and faster, stronger action to reduce GHGs, particulate matter and toxics, for the sake of protecting both the climate and public health.
California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff have told advocates that CARB's AB 32 regulations allow actual refinery GHG emissions to increase. This is unacceptable.
Ending reliance on combustion for heat and power is the primary path to achieving reductions in GHGs, toxics and particulate matter (responsible for about 1,700 premature deaths per year in the Bay Area).
The Air District's Climate Action Work Program needs to clarify that the first step in reducing Bay Area GHGs is a hard cap on emissions. The next step is to enact regulations that require clean technologies to replace combustion technologies.
Show up December 1at Climate Protection Committee meeting to press for faster, stronger action on GHGs in concert with action on particulate matter and toxics, for the sake of protecting both the climate and public health.
Present your comments and/or support others prepared to speak. If you can't come, contact Committee members directly:

All Eyes on Peru 12/1
Calling all Idle No More folks, Earth Guardians, Water and Land Defenders!
Monday, Dec. 1st
UN Plaza, Market & Hyde Streets
San Francisco
Prayer & Teach-in: 11AM to 12PM
March: 12PM
From December 1st to 12th, it's time to let the global climate policy makers who will be meeting in Lima, Peru, know that we demand a safe future for ourselves and those yet to come.
From event flyer (download):
• We want a world-wide reduction in carbon emissions.
• We want to stop the carbon-trading scheme known as REDD+.
• We want to hold fossil fuel corporations financially & legally accountable for their harms, and to fund the account for Climate Destruction and Refugees.
From the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change website: The 20th session of the Conference of the Parties and the 10th session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol will be held from 1 to 12 December. COP 20/CMP 10 will be hosted by the Government of Peru, in Lima, Peru.
We must make sure the policy makers understand that we know they are meeting to determine whether or not climate chaos will continue unabated. Click here to visit the Facebook event page for more description and details.
Peru itself has been a focus of violent confrontations between indigenous people and their environmental allies, and corrupt local governments ready to violate human rights to reap enormous profits. From the a New York Times blog:
"Global Witness research (…) shows that on average, two such 'environmental and land' defenders are being killed each week around the world, a rate that has been increasing in recent years. (…) As global demand for natural resources intensifies, more and more ordinary people are having to defend their rights to land and the environment from corporate or state abuse."

BayCAP Meeting 12/15
|Advocate at for a cap on Bay Area GHG emissions, and faster, stronger action to reduce GHGs. Focus: Regional Boards.
Ending reliance on combustion for heat and power is how we reduce GHGs, toxics and particulate matter (responsible for about 1,700 premature deaths per year in the Bay Area).
The Air District's Climate Action Work Program needs to clarify that the first step in reducing Bay Area GHGs is to cap local emissions. The next step is to adopt regulations requiring clean technologies to replace combustion technologies.
Now that we have the Air District's attention, the BayCAP campaign will begin advocacy to get the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to also commit to deep reductions in carbon pollution.

Sales Pipeline Optimization through Stage History Analysis
"Study the past to define the future," said Confucius. Businesses that fail are typically those that repeat mistakes made in the past. Historical analysis helps companies to avoid such failures.
In the context of CRM, the analysis of sales stage history is essential for a multitude of key business decisions. A sales stage history gives you the number of potentials (opportunities) in each stage for a particular time period. Stage history analysis reports are now available in the advanced analytics add-on for Zoho CRM. Let us see how this can help you gain useful business insights.
Announcing the iPad app for Zoho Reports
Mobile apps are becoming more critical for businesses. This is evident from the fact that Zoho's apps recently clocked 1,000,000+ downloads. Launching today, is the iPad app for Zoho Reports.

Support for NoSQL databases and other handy new features from Zoho Reports
Coined by Huseeb Budhani in 2008, "Big Data" has been a big deal for a few years now. Most traditional database systems manage only regular-sized structured databases, and find it difficult to manage the incredible volumes of big data being generated today. To help with this, a number of experimental new "NoSQL" database systems have come into the picture. By making some tradeoffs, NoSQL databases can easily scale to much larger sizes than their more traditional cousins.
To help you analyze the huge volume of raw business data stored in NoSQL databases, Zoho Reports now fully supports analysis and reporting over data in NoSQL databases. You can now use the advanced reporting options offered by Zoho Reports with these NoSQL database systems:
- MongoDB
- Apache Cassandra
- Apache Hadoop/Hive
- Cloudera Hadoop/Hive
- Hortonworks Hadoop/Hive
Analyze Your Business Data Stored in Cloud Storages & Drives
More and more of your business data reside on the cloud now. For better convenience, you now sync your files online, using cloud services like Zoho Docs, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box or OneDrive. Zoho Reports now makes it easier to analyze your data files (especially spreadsheets) that are stored in such cloud storage services.
Using the new Import from Cloud Storage/Drive link, you can import files directly from other cloud services to Zoho Reports. Read more
Interesting Public Dashboard Examples
Time and again, we come across Zoho Reports being used to analyze varied data sets. Below is a sampling of some of the recent public databases that we found interesting.
1. ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station)
I never knew that ISS was this connected with Hams, before I came across this ARISS database! Some interesting stats there, about events and contacts made by various schools with ISS, across countries.
2. Austin Real Estate
ABoR (Austin Board of Realtors) has a dashboard each for Travis County and Williamson County detailing avg list prices, foreclosure list price per zip code and types of financial transaction that were carried out.
3. IT Help Desk Stats
This is probably done by a system administrator for her IT team – a dashboard for data upload/download and computers being synced, and another dashboard that analyzes the number of support tickets raised.
4. Small Business Centre, North West Metro
A Dashboard that reports the results of a survey done over small businesses in Western Australia.
5. Ministry of Transport & Communication, Mexico
From what little I could decipher using Google Translate, each of the dashboards in this database give out the number of landslides, free passageways and damaged bridges, state-wise.
6. Traffic Accidents
This dashboard analyzes accident numbers – how many injured vs dead, males vs female motorcyclists involved in accidents, number of accidents in different age groups etc.
7. Australian Football Clubs
A dashboard made over Aussie football clubs data, and analysis of their profits.
Now, how are you using Zoho Reports? Let us know in the comments.
