Spring Venture Showcase
The Process
Submission Guidelines
Conditions of Investment
The Process
Established in 1996 with a $1 million gift from Eugene M. Lang, MS '40, the Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund fosters an entrepreneurial environment at Columbia Business School by providing early stage investing opportunities to qualifying student business initiatives. It also allows the School to share in the success of funded ventures through negotiated equity or other participation.
The Spring Venture Showcase offers students serious about launching a business upon or shortly after graduation an opportunity to present their plan to a distinguished panel of judges who together help select which students will advance to present to the Lang Fund Board of Directors. Approximately 20 students will have the opportunity to make a formal 7-minute presentation followed by Q&A.
Up to six companies will be selected from the event to present to the Lang Fund Board for investment consideration.
Congratulations to the 2014 Lang Fund Recipients.
All presenters will receive written and oral feedback on their business after the event.
Second-year students are eligible to participate in the Spring Venture Showcase and eligible for funding from the Lang Fund Board only.
Students may work individually or with a partner. The Lang Fund will consider investment proposals for all types of enterprises: small- or large-scale, high- or low-tech, start-ups or acquisitions and service, manufacturing, or retail operations.
The Lang Fund's Board of Directors evaluates those selected from the Spring Venture Showcase event pool according to the following criteria:
- Feasibility of the proposed venture and its prospects for success
- Strength of the student's commitment to the venture and his/her qualifications to make it succeed
- Prospects for raising additional funding as may be required
- Technical or conceptual originality or social value
Submission deadline are due midnight, April 7, 2014. **Upcoming Spring semester important dates will be posted January 2015.**
The Spring Venture Showcase event will take place on April 21 at WeWork - 175 Varick Street, 8th Floor.
Submission Guidelines
Executive Summary- 5-7 pages.
This document will include the following information:
- An overview of the market, the competition, and the positioning of your product or service. Validation from customer interviews will prove beneficial.
- A detailed description of your product or service concept. Preference will be given to those who have developed a minimally viable product. For example, if it is a web-based venture, it is anticipated that the overall design of the website be complete and hosted for demonstration purposes. If the company already has revenue, please provide details.
- Highlights of a marketing plan including the direct sales strategies and media outlets you plan to utilize to reach your targeted customer.
- A profile of your management team and the skill sets vital for success.
- A high level financial plan including a break even analysis, sales goals, after the first year and the amount of investment required to support needed capital investments and negative cash flows during the start up phase.
Conditions of Investment
In order to provide more access to seed funding in a venture's early stages, the Fund will make an immediate initial investment, typically in the amount of $25,000-50,000, in the form of a convertible demand note in ventures that meet its investment criteria. This criteria requires that ventures have a viable business plan with good chances of success and a full time commitment by the graduating student to the business as its owner or prime mover. The Fund retains the right to make an additional equity investment in the business when the business raises its first round of equity backed by professional investors.
The Board retains sole discretion for deciding which businesses it will fund each year and may decide in a given year to forgo the funding of any projects if none of the ventures presented meet its investment criteria.

Heather is one of the strongest women/mommies I know! It is so hard to watch her go through all of these issues with Jax. He is such a trooper. I teared up watching when they were at the doctors. It's just so hard to watch, especially when you are a mom.
My playdate with Aviva: I walked into that playdate wanting to talk to Aviva about all of the #BookGate stuff. At this point, I was already much closer to Carole, but I wanted to give Aviva a "chance." After all, we had just met and she hadn't done anything to me "yet." I wanted to clear the air about #BookGate and let it be known I am not involved.
When Cash and I got there, I told her that I wanted to talk with her. So fine, we started to talk. She asked me to keep it PG in front of the kids, "non-hostile," and then she told me to "Shut the f--- up" two seconds later in front of the kids!! After she made a point of telling me to keep it PG in front of the kids -- can you say C-R-A-Z-Y! It seems obvious to me she is challenged in controlling her emotions. This whole scene is so insane to me. How can I not address the elephant in the room, #BookGate? All while she is telling me that its none of my business? At this point, a month later, it's everyone's business, which is why I felt the need to address it! She has made it all of our business thank you very much. All I wanted to do was tell her that I am here with her on this playdate to try and move forward despite all the crap thats going on. Tell her that I am not going to take sides. Then she flips her lid. Ahhhhhhhhhh, very frustrating.
Oh yeah, the squeeze toy with Ramona's eyes. Sometimes you just do things because you think that they are funny. I have been hearing about Ramona and her "crazy eyes" for years. It's funny, Ramona makes fun of her eyes and how the tend to bug out of her head. It's funny. I think it's funny. Sorry, Ramona. I guess Aviva didn't think that that was funny, but then again what does Aviva think is funny?

Stussy x Kangol Bermuda Casual
—01-02. Available in Navy and White options.
I've been thinking about getting a classic Kangol Bermuda since last spring but they aren't overly available these days, at least not in the stores I've been visiting. As a result, the arrival of this simple Stussy collaboration, with both brands' logos on the exterior and a more playful type treatment under the brim, turned out to be well-timed.

My daughter wanted to have her birthday dinner at Vynl (it had everything we were looking for) but they just told me they will not do reservations for a large group (15) on a Saturday night.
I am now trying to find something else that would appeal to teens - not only the food but the atmosphere as well.
Any suggestions? I am looking for $30 pp and we are open to any location in Manhattan.
As far as her palate she is not very adventurous - she does not like spicy and is not a fan of seafood.
I realize all of these requirements limit the possibilities but I would appreciate any suggestions or help.
Thank you
re: Motosport
Will any of those places even take a reservation for 15 people? I don't even know where they'd put them at Balthazar (is there another room downstairs?). I guess the communal table at Pastis? At the Dutch, they might try to force you to use the private dining room below.
Thank you for your suggestion prdct. I have seen Otto suggested before but not sure if the menu is what she wants. She wanted something a little different.
Unfortunately I can't go higher on $ since we are going to a show also.
She is so disappointed that Vynl wouldn't accomodate us because she loved everything about them.
Thanks again :)
re: Penny2013
Perhaps you can explain to your daughter the difficulties of large groups in Manhattan restaurants, which tend to be on the smaller side.
Smaller groups are usually separate parties at separate tables, arriving at different times, so a large group means that the overall timing of "turns" is less efficient. They have to hold empty tables for you...so if the restaurant is really busy, it theoretically can get multiple turns of smaller tables more quickly than waiting for a large group to vacate. And you want Saturday night, the busiest night of the week.
And very likely if Vynl had been to accomodate you, you would not be able to order a la carte, but forced into a prix fixe menu, priced above your stated budget. It's harder for the kitchen to make sure the entire group's food all comes out at the same time while maintaining quality (especially serving food at the right temperature). Hence, the prix fixe. You'll be better off going somewhere that does family style anyway, but that's usually Chinese or Thai food or pizza (which you stated she does not want).
And since it is a group of teens, they won't be drinking in alcohol. I was going to suggest The Smith, but then I saw that they have a food and beverage minimum. Their group menu isn't too expensive but it's unlikely you'll meet the minimum without alcohol.
Even Hill Country's cheapest package is $32pp. It might work for you if she likes the atmosphere. Since BBQ does not have to be cooked a la minute, that helps ease the street on the kitchen.
$32 Per Person
Add Hors D'oeuvres for $5 Per Item
1 Starter, 2 Meats, 2 Sides and 2 Desserts of your Choice (Minimum of 10 people)
At least you called ahead and tried to make a reservation. Some people try to walk in with that many people and are disappointed when they are turned away...
If you'd like an "out of the box" suggestion think about Bowlmore Lanes. Our group has hosted parties there that were reasonable. Basic bowling, pizza and snacks. Not fine dining but decent fun. It's in the W Village and sort of "cool!"
Thank you so much kathryn!
I tried to tell her that she may need to cut her guest list down but she already mentioned to her friends that she was inviting them - wouldn't be nice to uninvite them now.
I will have her look at Hill Country & The Smith but to be honest nothing will compare to Vynl in her eyes...yet (the disappointment is still too fresh lol).
Motosport I actually suggested that to her and I got the "eye-roll"...
What about Cafeteria or something along those lines?
Thank you again for your suggestions!
re: Penny2013
Make sure you go on the Smith's site and check out their minimums for big groups. It's probably going to put it out of your budget.
Also for any place you are considering, I'd call and make sure they have availability for the night you want. Before getting her hopes up.
re: kathryn
Spitzer's might be a good spot. They have those long tables that would fit 15 people,Although they used to check ID's, so i'm not sure if they let teens in. Maybe Inoteca on Ludlow St is a good choice too. Or Pulino's or DBGB. Or Otto might be perfect.
re: Penny2013
Ah! Teen daughters!! I have one teenaged daughter. She's 30 now. Not much has changed.
How about Rare? The Chelsea location is "cooler."
Thank you again everyone for your suggestions!
The Smith looks fun just because of the photo booth.
Rare looks nice too.
Of course I will have to check with the "Boss" first.
No one mentioned Cafeteria? I don't know how the kids will like the menu but how is the food there? It looks like they could accomodate large parties.
re: Penny2013
Really I would check with the restaurant first, and not your daughter.
The Smith EV has a $1400 minimum before tax and tip for Saturday nights.
Cafeteria doesn't seem very "teenage"y to me, more like college age kids? It's also hard to get a sense of pricing from their site. I would contact them FIRST to make sure they are in your price range AND have availability for 15 on the date you want. They could be totally out of your price range once you say you have 15 people.
re: kathryn
Cafeteria does have a price room. The food is not great, but 15 year old girls seem to like it. My daughter had her birthday celebration there with her friends. Not my kind of venue, but didn't matter, I wasn't invited!
re: Penny2013
As noted below, Cafeteria is fun for teenagers -- my daughter's pick for her 15th birthday. I meant to say below that it has a private room, but it also can accommodate groups in the main room. The food is not delicious, but if Vynl appeals, this should as well.
re: MrGrumpy
I think she said no pizza/pasta, since she said no to Otto (which is very good suggestion, but alas).
FWIW, you can tell your daughter that Vynl looks terrible, ha. I wouldn't ever want to eat somewhere called, well, Vynl.
Though I wouldn't eat there, I've read here that similar parties have been held at Ruby Foo's.
Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions and input. I really appreciate it.
After another exhausting search we found Elmo. I haven't checked with them yet to see if we can be accomodated but my daughter seems to like it better than Cafeteria (based on the online menu & couple of pictures).
Any thoughts about Elmo?
I thank you all again :)
re: Penny2013
Major Chelsea Boy hangout.
re: Penny2013
I think the food's a little better at Cafeteria than at Elmo, and alhough I haven't been to either in years, I'd ask her to choose between The Carrie Diaries and The New Normal. If the former, Cafeteria. If the latter, Elmo.
re: Penny2013
Where are you even finding these places? Neither Vynl or Elmo are really "chow-worthy" if you're looking for good food. But at this point that might be secondary.
re: loratliff
She is not looking for a fine dining experience. It is more about a fun and young atmosphere.
re: Penny2013
Right, that's why no one here has recommend Per Se. But there are plenty of "fun" and "young" places with good food. Rubirosa, The Smith, Spitzer's, Otto—many of the places CHers have recommended that you've shot down for one reason or another.
what about The Park? food is decent/ok, prices may be a bit on the high end of your scale (looking at group menus entrees range from 12-25 from burgers to steak) and i think its pretty scene-y.
Try Alta in the village. It's tapas and you can get by within your budget. They have a mezzanine level where they can probably put a group of teens. It might be slightly out of your daughter's realm but doesn't hurt to inquire.
You mentioned your daughter has a limited palate but think if you study the menu she and her friends can easily find something, plus since it's tapas = small/med plates so conducive to sharing and good to try different things.
I think if you call the restaurant beforehand you can try to tailor the menu in advance as well as a virgin cocktail menu since they're all teens.
As far as Elmo, I used to go there every so often and it's not all gay guys. There's lots of college kids (at least there used to be) and girls night out type groups. They only thing is that it really might not be good for teens only because it's got the prowl vibe, esp. late at night. I haven't been to Elmo in a couple of YEARS so I don't know what it's like now.
Does she not want Italian or no pizza/pasta-specific places? You can always do veal, chicken, vegetable platters (group menus).
Does she want more of a theme restaurant or is she really looking for a trendy place?

Virginia is the "most pro-business state" in America according to the Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2010 rankings released today.
This marks the fourth time the Commonwealth has held the top spot, with previous top rankings garnered in 2003, 2007 and 2009, Gov. Bob McDonnell's office said in a release.
The study evaluates and ranks states based on 31 factors including taxes, human resources, right-to-work legislation, energy costs, infrastructure spending, workers compensation laws, economic incentive programs and state economic development efforts, Pollina said in its release on the study.
Pollina recognized Virginia's business-friendly atmosphere and education system, McDonnell said.
"And that work is ongoing," the governor said.
"This past General Assembly Session, we were able to secure a robust package of economic development incentives which we're using around the state, country and world to create jobs for Virginians," McDonnell said.
"In addition, we will continue to take an 'all of the above' approach to our energy future to work towards Virginia becoming the energy capitol of the east coast," McDonnell said.

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - Corporal Randy Hodges with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Agricultural Unit says he's never had someone blatantly admit to animal neglect, until now.
"He explained to us that he basically... ...since last week," said Hodges.
Deputies arrested joseph reyes yesterday for leaving nearly a dozen animals without food or water on a North Fort Myers property. He faces 9 animal abuse charges.
A neighbor reported smelling something foul coming from his property. One goat got its head stuck in a fence while apparently trying to reach rainwater in a bucket on the other side. Another was so sick it couldn't stand and ultimately died in a neighbor's care.
"They're just like children...should get rid of them," said Hodges.
Neighbor hailey wooten across the street was upset to hear two animals had died
"Why do that...can't afford them," said Wooten.
We tried to call Reyes and reached his spouse who hung up the phone when we asked about the animals. The neighbor who reported what was going on says reyes was keeping the animals for tax purposes.
"There's no excuse for this. If you're going to have animals you have to care of them." said Hodges.

Why Advanced Mac Mailer? Well, effective communications are essential for business success. It is very beneficial to keep your business contacts promptly notified of such things as new products they might be interested in, complimenting offers or other updates. Email as a communication medium presents the most lucrative opportunities. Of course, if you have hundreds or thousands of clients, it is impossible to write a personal message to every one. You must also maintain a list of subscribers changing, adding and removing them as necessary. This becomes very hard even when you consider a list of a few thousand people. more...

Sending one-time customer satisfaction survey to customers who opt out of marketing This post is outdated
I try to send out a customer satisfaction survey to my customers 30-45 days after their purchase. Unfortunately, surveys are not addressed in Shopify's "accepts marketing" checkbox, so customers that opt out of marketing don't end up in my list of customers in MailChimp. I don't want to send my customers marketing emails that they don't want to receive, but the customers satisfaction survey is a one-time email to ensure their satisfaction with their purchase, and quickly identify any product issues that may arise.
Does anyone have any guidance about whether or not it's considered acceptable to email a customer who does not want to receive marketing a one-time email with a link to a customer satisfaction survey? If it's okay, what's the best way to do this?
- Set up a separate list in MailChimp for customer satisfaction surveys only?
- Forward the email the opt-ins get, with a brief introductory explanation that this is a one-time email, and they will not receive any more?
- Send a simple, personal, text-only email from me, asking them to take the survey via an included link?
Thanks, in advance for your input!

We're still loaded with tasks and challenges. Hey, it's a busy time.
But... But... BARNICKE? He owes us money.
The Prep Tab has been shipped to film. Repeat. The 72-page beast has been slain. The Eagle has landed. John has a long mustache. The chair is against the wall.
Yep, down goes the 72-page Frazier. Joe, not Kiehl. Well, Kiehl, too.
And we realize that the 5-at-10 has suffered in our distracted, tab-crazed days. Thanks for sticking with us. Or as Maggie says, "TANKS for nuttin' Danny."
And yes, we feel back in the groove a little bit — or we're sleep-deprieved to the point of giddiness — since we have quoted Stripes, Red Dawn, Cosell and Caddyshack before the first legit item of today's 5-at-10.
From the "Talks too much" studios, to quote William Blake, who died on this day in 1827, the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
We have questions
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels works in the first inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta.
How is Cole Hamels only 5-13? Dude has legit ace stuff and he's 5-and-13? How'd he ever win five? It's a miracle. Lollygaggers.
When did we move to Chatta-Portland? Seriously. Enough with the rain.
Wow, did you see that Danny Struggla's back down to .186 and is 2-for-37 in August? How'd he ever get two? It's a miracle.
What none of us have questions about now though is whether Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football/Hangover/Merchandise and now Johnny Paycheck, took money for signing what has been reported to be more than 4,400 autographs for memorabilia brokers.
The NCAA hypocrisy is rich of course, and more on that in a minute.
But how are we so sure of Johnny Paycheck taking the money and signing? Well, in the weeks since this story has broken, there has been absolutely zero denial from Camp Paycheck. Yes, the vaunted A-Rod defense of, "Let's not talk about the past," or the "Let's focus on what they can prove" angles.
Hey, when your moral compass points to A-Rod, well, that's not good. Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.
So there we have it. And we know the answer. Whether the NCAA has the proof remains to be seen. Whether the NCAA wants to find the proof and destroy the most-hyped regular-season college football game in 25 years remains to be seen.
What we all know to be true deep down in places we don't talk about at parties is whether it happened.
Money for everyone but the players
With the latest news that seems to prove even more evidence that Johnny Paycheck appears to have risked his teammates and his team's season on some cash-for-signature acts, the timing was almost poetic that the NCAA merchandising leaders were announced.
Texas made the most off of sold memorabilia, leading the nation's royalty rankings for the eighth straight year. The numbers were released by the Collegiate Licensing Company, which represents all of the major colleges and universities other than THE Ohio State, Michigna State, USC and Oregon. Granted, at least three of those would likely crack the top 10, but no one messes with Texas when it comes to sales.
The rest of the top 10 of the schools that made the most of the more than $4.6 billion in merchandise and gear sold from July 1 of last year to June 30, 2013:
2) Alabama
3) Notre Dame
4) Michigan
5) Kentucky
7) Florida
8) Georgia
10) Arkansas
Texas A&M moved from No. 19 to No. 12 after it's record-setting football season. Hmmmmm, wonder how much of that move was because of No. 2 jerseys? Autographs for everyone.
Prep football everywhere
We are pretty well versed in the talent and the happenings of the high school football scene.
In fact we shot our first Prep Rewind/Fast Forward high school football video with preps ace Stephen Hargis. Check it here as we discuss this week's jamborees.
Baylor School quarterback Nick Tiano, No. 14, looks for an open player against Soddy-Daisy.Photo by Staff File Photo.
Here are three things we believe:
• The Baylor-McCallie game is going to be awesome. Baylor's QB-RB tandem of Nick Tiano and George Porter against the increased speed and play-making abilities of a Blue Tornado team that has improved talent is going to be fun.
• Despite the loss of leading rusher Logan Jackson, the East Hamilton Hurricanes are the area's best team. And with a schedule that features Signal Mountain and Ooltewah relatively early, we'll know whether that belief is fact pretty quickly.
• The two best bets for a deep playoff run are in expected locals of South Pittsburg, which again is likely the fastest 1A team in Tennessee, and Calhoun, Ga., where the Yellow Jackets simply reload with players who have been baptised in Gatorade of state championship expectations.
This and that
— Feel free to riff on any and all college football stuff. Here's the story that Paschall had in today's TFP that caught our eye: Auburn has dropped its four-man QB race to a three-man QB race by moving Kiehl Frazier to safety. Yes, Frazier, the former USA Today national offensive high school player of the year, is starting over with a new number and a new position. This assuredly will be a topic of discussion on the Press Row radio show today from 1-3 p.m. on ESPN 105.1 FM.
— Also, as Downtown Patrick Brown wrote about him today, we have formed the view that any wide receiver named Pig is a friend of ours.
— Austin Dillion, the Nationwide driver with a big-time name and a big-time family (Richard Childress' grandson) which allowed him to race a big-time number (he drove the 3 made famous by longtime Childress driver and friend Dale Earnhardt), will fill in for the injured Tony Stewart. Pay attention to this kid gang, he's carrying a lot of NASCAR's future in his passenger seat.
— War Mike Trout. Baseball's next super-duper-star says PED users should be banned for life. Hey, baseball, if you want to end steroids, there's the answer. Of course, if you are disingenuous and only showing faux outrage because you know the power numbers get people's attention, well, keep tippy-toeing the current path. Yahoos.
Today's question
Is Aug. 12 the day our world changed? Consider that the IBM personal computer was released on this day 22 years ago? (Side question: The number 22 is arguably the coolest looking number around. Thoughts?)
Seriously, in 22 years — from the days of Joshua in "War Games" — to the fact that the 5-year-old Lil' 5-at-10 is quite comfortable operating an iPad, the world is a completely different place and on a completely new, computer-generated pace.
Think of the pace of progress before the computer age. In 22 years, TV went from black-and-white to color to a very crude remote control.
How much has TV changed since 1981? All the gadgets, the add-ons, the options. Dallas was an awesome show then... and it is now, too... wait a second.
OK, scratch the last one. So take a moment and celebrate the progress brought forth on this day 22 years ago.
And curse those same technological advances when your boss or whomever you're trying to duck to get nine holes in this afternoon can reach out to you with 12 forms of communication.
Progress, ain't she grand?

"When did we move to Chatta-Portland? Seriously. Enough with the rain."
I've already razzed my 'Nooga friends on Facebook regarding this. I love Texas except in August. July is pretty brutal but this year it very mild to say the least. But August this year has become almost imbearable.
Please ship that rain here!
Dalton plays center for the Mocs? According to the article Frierson wrote...yes.
Funny you talk about advances in technology. Especially television
Here are some of my favorite then and nows:
Then: Cable Television. Now: Hulu
Then: Satellite dishes were NASA-size Mofos. Now: So small you can hang one off your balcony.
Then: Watching "Dr. Who" on PBS only during late night hours and it was the crude-looking episodes from the 1970s Now: New episodes are on BBC America the same day they air in the UK.
Then: You had to go to an anime convention in a big city or order from an Internet vendor new anime shows from Japan that were at best 8-10 months old by the time they were aquired and subtitled. Now: Hulu (assuming Funimation bought the rights to your favorite show).
One more..
Then: All the crackpots, morons, and gloryhogs that were limited to local and regional programming. Now: VH1, HLN, truTV, TLC, and OTHER phony-balony "reality" channels that put Jerry Springer out of business.
Wonder what percentage of UK's #5 CLC merchandise is basketball generated?
From yesterday: Randall Cobb had a great NFL debut, catching a 32-yard TD pass and returning a kickoff 108 yards for an NFL best ever mark. That game made him the first player born in the 1990's to get into an NFL game. But he was too small to play at UT.
My pedigree if you will: Host of the 91 Rock Sushi Bar from 2001-2003; 2005-2007. Original host of the now concluded "Anime at the Library" events. Staffed in Events and Guest Relations for Anime Weekend Atlanta from 1999-2003.
Don't have time for MocsFans..sorry to disappoint.
Quote from Frierson:
Sutton was interning in UTC's sports information office in January when new offensive coordinator Jeff Durden was hired. As first impressions go, it may not have been the best ever.
"I was sitting at my desk and I stood up and shook his hand," Sutton recalled after Monday morning's practice at Scrappy Moore Field. "I said 'Patrick Sutton,' and he was like, 'OK.' I was like, 'I started at center last year.' He was like, 'Oh, I thought you'd be a lot bigger than that.'
"I get that a lot; I'm used to it now."
Yes, 32 years. That's what we meant.
"I thought you'd be bigger." The common refrain for Dalton in Road House, which was nominated for an Academy Award in the early 1990s, which by the 5-at-10's math is 96 years ago. Or 7.
9er —
UK and UNC each collected a slew of hoops sales.

Ten Ring-
Thanks for getting everyone else up to speed. :P MT's comment reminded me of a practical joke I once did on my production directer when I was with WDEF for a time. We had fill out time sheets by hand and drop them off in Berry's office box by Friday (or else as he put it). One week, it seemed everything on the morning show was going wrong. The mics would go dead in the middle of an interview, the commerical spots were not timing out, etc. etc. Basically, an average of 3-4 on-air snafus per show instead of per week. At the end of the week, I decided since "Murphy" (as in Murphy's Law) was putting in some work on our behalf, I decided to fill out a time sheet for him. Adrana (Berry's secretary from the Ukraine) sees the time sheet and said "Berry, who's this Murphy guy? Did you hire someone new?" Berry told me later he stared at it for 15 minutes before it dawned on him whose handwriting it was.
Still my best at-work practical joke to date.
Know what you can't find anymore? A pay phone. I don't know why there are even pagers and fax machines anymore. So the old Dick Tracy two-way communication wrist watch and the Maxwell Smart shoe phone probably aren't far off.
One night, about 28, 29 years ago (that would be the mid 60s by 5's math. I'm kidding. 5, even by your own admission, you have a little touch of dyslexia, no> I think a Bud Light helps that out, so there's my prescription) I told a drinking buddy I saw a day coming where you could have a satellite dish so small you could fit it on your window sill. It just made sense - you start with something big and clunky, like the BCS, and make it smaller and faster and voila, we get ourselves a family. I'm OK, you're OK, that there's what it is.
As cool looking as 22 is (can't believe you worked that in ... well, yeah I can), 32 is a more historic sports number, especially when it comes to jerseys.
So at what point do the Braves announcers, when Uggla's up at bat, just start talking about who's on deck and what's on after the game instead of describing another empty Struggla visit to the dish? B.J. Upton is outhitting him. He's barely outhitting Kris Medlen.
Listened to Al Martino sing "Spanish Eyes" on the ipod on the way to work (there's another technological marvel that is killing radio, which in itself was a technological marvel). Who, you might ask, is Al Martino. Well, let's just say they were swooning over him during the wedding reception scene in "The Godfather."
An editor at the Times-Free Press including a Johnny Paycheck reference in the title of an article...You're tip-toeing through the minefield Jay. Johnny Football may enjoy "Bars, Booze & Blondes." He might enjoy "Fifteen Beers" or head to "Georgia In A Jug" while "Drinkin' and Drivin'." Johnny "Mr. Lovemaker" Manziel may indeed be able to claim "I'm The Only Hell(Mama Ever Raised)"...but, he most assuredly never told anyone to take a job and shove it.

Sikorsky Aircraft announced Sunday
that Local 1150 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters,
representing 5,100 hourly employees at the company's Stratford,
Bridgeport and Shelton, CT and West Palm Beach, FL facilities, has
ratified a new, five-year labor contract.
Laurie Havanec, Sikorsky's Vice President of Human Resources,
said, "We are extremely pleased with the ratification of this
five-year agreement. The long-term labor stability this
five-year agreement provides will be beneficial for our employees
and our customers in these challenging economic times.
"The negotiating teams on both sides worked hard to reach an
agreement that meets employees' needs while helping Sikorsky to
remain competitive," Havanec said.
Local 1150 secretary-treasurer Rocco Calo told the Hartford
Courant the contract includes a 3.5 percent salary hike for each of
the first three years, with four percent increases in years four
and five. He didn't disclose the final vote tally, saying only
members ratified the deal "really overwhelmingly."
"The members of the union negotiating committee are pleased with
the outcome of these negotiations and understand that, in this
difficult economy, we are fortunate to be working with one of the
rare companies that are prospering in hard times," read a Local
1150 statement.
Negotations between Sikorsky and the union began in December,
with both sides pressured by the state of the economy to avoid a
strike... as what happened during previous negotiations in

Mall Of America Field Not Kind To Ryan FitzpatrickPosted by on December 6, 2010 – 9:50 am
There were sensational developments on offense for the Vikings on Sunday during their game against the Buffalo Bills. Brett Favre was lost early to injury and Tarvaris Jackson filled in, Adrian Peterson ripped off 107 yards and 3 scores on the ground and Sidney Rice looked to be in 2009 form with 2 highlight-caliber TD catches.
But as significant a factor to the outcome of the game as any of that was the performance of the Vikings defense and how it impacted Buffalo QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Vikings defensive line, and specifically DE Jared Allen, pestered Fitzpatrick all afternoon and forced him into several mistakes.
Fitzpatrick's stat line looked like this after the game: 15 of 25 for 158 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT for a passer rating of 75.1, sacked once, fumbled 3 times with 2 lost fumbles. You may remember Fitzpatrick struggling in Minnesota because he was the Rams QB in 2005 and didn't have any more success back then, either. His stat line looked like this after the game: 26 of 45 for 235 yards with 0 TDs and 5 INTs for a passer rating of 32.4, sacked once and fumbled once in a 27-13 loss.
Add those 2 performances up and you've got just 1 TD compared to 6 INTs, just a 58.5 completion percentage, 8 total turnovers and an 0-2 record. It's not fair to judge Fitzpatrick as a QB based on these 2 performances, though. He's a 5-year veteran out of Harvard who took over starting duties for Buffalo this year after Week 2. Since then he's had several nice passing performances, including 5 multi-TD outings and 4 games with 250+ yards passing.
The bottom line is playing on the road is tough, regardless of where you're playing.
"Any time you play on the road they get off a little better, the defense does," Fitzpatrick explained after the game. "I think it becomes a little bit of an issue but that happens every week you play on the road so it's not something that is new to us."
While it is tough to play on the road no matter where you go, the Vikings do benefit from a distinct home-field advantage at Mall of America Field, and Vikings Interim Head Coach Leslie Frazier will be the first to acknowledge that and in fact point it out.
"Having our fans is a huge lift for our football team," Frazier said after the game. "We've got, in my mind, the best fans in the National Football League and it was on display today. Our players fed off of that energy and particularly our defensive line. It looked so much like the defensive line we've all become familiar with here in Minnesota. They did a great job getting off the ball and keeping Buffalo's offense off guard a little bit."

Congratulations to the whole Vikings team on a great win! When you like and respect your coach it makes a big difference obviously. I hope Brett is ok for next Sunday. I hate to see him get hurt. It is great to have Sidney back. Too bad he wasn't with us the whole year because we would probably be going to the Super Bowl. Adrian is still not fumbling the ball and ran really great Sunday! Great job Vikings! I hope Percy will be ok soon too. Celebrate and win the rest of your games!

30 Seconds in the Mother City
Rob PetersCape Town played host to yet another sold-out show this past weekend with 30 Seconds to Mars packing the Grand West Casino on Sunday night. Frontman Jared Leto may not have been quite as active as fellow singer John Legend, but he still managed to snap a couple of pics – and post a video - to Instagram, chronicling his time in the Mother City. To be fair, the group didn't spent quite as long in town as the R&B crooner, but it's still pretty clear that the city worked its magic on Leto.
Free Wi-Fi planned for MyCiti busesCommuters on the MyCITI rapid bus service will have more reason to jump on board with the City of Cape Town planning to offer free Wi-Fi. According to a report on BDLive, the city is conducting a pilot project which will allow access to the Wi-Fi while travelling or waiting at various stations in and around Cape Town. The news comes on the back of the city's announcement on Thursday that it has entered into a partnership with Orange Wi-Fi service to provide Wi-Fi to people living in parts of Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain.
Legend-ary shots in the Mother City
Rob PetersR&B singer John Legend was a hit in Cape Town with three sold-out shows and it looks like the Mother City left its mark on him as well. The legendary crooner and his wife – model Chrissy Teigen – were posting up on storm on Instagram as they captured their travels in the city this week, from yacht trips and show-time selfies, to more intimate moments on tour. John, you legend, thanks for coming, and hopefully we see you again soon!

Future Cape Town: Regenerative, connected, strong and diverse
If we set aside our ideas and dreams for skytrains, spaceships and time travel, what are the values and beliefs which we should be working towards and embracing in Cape Town towards 2040 and beyond? Rashiq Fataar shares some ideals and principles that he believes should act as a guide and roadmap towards our shared future.
Cape Town Stadium fits into a bigger puzzle
The recent suggestion that Cape Town Stadium be demolished is unconstructive. Understandably, the venue needs to make financial sense, and concerns are warranted. However, financial sense, different from the pursuit of profit, can be achieved.

When it came to winning the Turner Cup – for a third straight season – the Komets relied on a balanced and deep roster.
All 20 players on the team saw playing time during the postseason. All but two of them tallied points. Both goaltenders won crucial games. Rookies played like veterans.
It was a total team effort.
(Think) of the Detroit Red Wings and when Steve Yzerman figured out it's not about the star, 50-goal seasons, 130 points and everything else, center Colin Chaulk said.
It's about having depth and having a balanced team. Our motto has been: The veterans do their job, and the rookies play like veterans, and we've got a chance to win every year.'
Early in the playoffs, it was the Komets' top line of Chaulk, Matt Syroczynski and Justin Hodgman that was carrying the scoring load. Not until Fort Wayne fell behind 3-1 to Port Huron in the best-of-seven semifinals did every line start contributing offensively.
The Komets won seven of their final eight games, including a 3-2 victory over Flint on Saturday at Memorial Coliseum. It was the eighth championship in the franchise's 58-year history.
It's important to get balance, said left wing P.C. Drouin, who led the Komets with 18 points (five goals) in the playoffs. Since probably the middle of the (Port Huron) series, we've been consistent from all three lines and that's big. To have that at this level in the playoffs, it's crucial. It's hard for teams to match that when it happens.
Syroczynski, selected as Playoff MVP because he had 11 goals and 16 points, agreed that having such depth made it difficult for Flint to successfully put its best defensive players on the Komets' top offensive players.
There was just too much to contain.
It's just like I was saying at the beginning of the playoffs: Lines 1, 2 and 3 – we need them all to win, Syroczynski said. Especially down the road in the playoffs, match-ups are huge, and you're not going to have your best every night. We all stepped up for each other.
Seven players scored at least four goals for Fort Wayne during the playoffs. Six players had at least 11 points. Defensively, the Komets were stingy, too, with the exception of the 7-6 overtime loss in Game 3 of the Finals. Fort Wayne allowed 14 goals in the finals.
Defenseman Brandon Warner was plus-9, tied with Drouin for tops on the team. Rookie defenseman Frankie DeAngelis was a plus-7.
And then there was the goaltending tandem of Nick Boucher, who made 19 saves in the Cup-clinching game, and Tim Haun.
After the Komets lost Game 3, coach Al Sims made the unusual move of sitting his top goalie for a game, and Haun stopped 33 shots in a 6-2 road victory.
Boucher was 6-3 with a 2.62 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and one shutout in the playoffs, while Haun was 2-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .911 save percentage.
It's always a good thing to have two goalies who can play, Haun said. We proved that this year. We both thrived by getting multiple starts on the road during the season. And in the playoffs, Bouch took control during the Port Huron series. He knows what to do and has proved that the last three years. I just prepared myself for when the opportunity came up.
After it was all done Saturday, Sims looked at every one of his players and acknowledged that they all played a part in the victory.
It was a total team effort this year, he said. It wasn't one goalie carrying us; both of them played. All 20 players played. It was just a team effort all the way around.

RICHMOND – The Whitewater Valley Land Trust now owns 1,200 acres of native Hoosier farmland southwest of Richmond.
Land trust officials recently used a $100,000 grant from the Dr. Laura Hare Charitable Trust to purchase 185 acres of land, called the Toschlog Corridor, along the East Fork of the Whitewater River in Wayne and Union counties.
The tract is south of the town of Abington and is 112 acres of tillable land surrounded on four sides by wooded acreage.
It's pretty spectacular, land trust board Treasurer Michael Hoff told the Palladium-Item. It is also very visible. It has more road frontage than the other seven nature preserves that we own put together.
Tom Swinford, ecologist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' division of forest preserves, said the acquisition represents a beautiful rural landscape.
It's another way of preserving something that is unique to Hoosiers and anyone in the Whitewater Valley, Swinford said.
Swinford has been working with the land trust, the Red Tail Conservancy, Cope Environmental Center and Earlham College since 2000 to build a patchwork quilt of conservation.
The state has been really pleased to partner with these organizations, Swinford said. This acquisition is important because it will preserve wildlife habitat and rural landscape, improve water quality and provide flood water abatement.
Hoff said the land will be planted with 110,000 seedlings of Indiana hardwood trees, species of hickory, oak, walnut and cherry trees.
We were hoping to do the planting this spring, but the seller has retained crop planting rights for this year. So we will begin planting in 2015, he said.
Land trust property now runs south from Cope Center on Shoemaker Road along Lick Creek to where it empties into the Whitewater River and south past Abington along the river.
The land trust has conservation easements on an additional 2,500 acres where the owners have agreed not to develop the land. The land trust is a nonprofit that strives to preserve land with historic, aesthetic or unique features for future generations.

No, they're probably not disappointed at all.
No, they're probably not disappointed at all.
I think people talking about the whole "GV is going back to its roots", "this is a clear anti-EDM statement" etc, are over-thinking it.
There was one dream headliner available last year (Radiohead) and none this year. All the headliners being booked by other festivals this year (McCartney, The Cure, Mumford, Springsteen, etc) were either unavailable, had recently played Coachella, or both.
They had to promote someone to the front line and spun the rare British double-play as headline worthy. It was that or promote another band like YYYs, VW, etc. No matter what occurred, the massive ticket dump, tickets selling at 2/3 face for Weekend 2 probably would have happened - but I refuse to believe GV consciously chose to do this and it was anything different than the 2013 festival landscape.
Coachella 99' 01',02',03',04',05',06',07',08',09',10',11',12',13 ' and counting!!!
SPX clothing
"We ride skis."
Stone Rose and Blur are a dream come true!
Let's hope next year we get Primal Scream, Charlatans, MBV and a RIDE reunion.
Maybe the mental wear of disappointment from the Roses headlining will cause some cobaining.
The pilgrimage is not perfected save by copulation with the camel.

The pilgrimage is not perfected save by copulation with the camel.
Or stick with the fucking weenie roast.
yes, one of those two
The pilgrimage is not perfected save by copulation with the camel.
i disagree, the stone roses and blur were coheadliners from the getgo. It was Phoenix that got the bump. Noone would be tripping as hard on the stone roses if it weren't for having phoenix headline.
The Stone Roses/Blur
The Rolling Stones (or the Smiths)
This is what GV wanted all along.
soooo...are we getting the 10 song "festival" set or the 15 song "full" set???????????????? 69 babyyyy
1. Think that painting all Stone Roses fans with the same brush is pretty awesome (some of us like them and Nirvana both you cock).
2. Believe that the massive ticket dump, steep plummet in demand, and tickets foing for $100-$150 under face value is do to a perceived weakness in the Friday headliner, as if a majority of people are stupid enough to not go just because there are two bands they don't like playing. This one is, admittedly, more plausible since people usually ARE stupid.
But hey, at least you'll be able to bellyache on the forums after the fact about how shitty Friday was because of the headliner that you didn't like (seriously? I didn't see a single headliner last year and still had a fucking awesome time).
The less people at my Coachella the better. More real fans, less tools, more fun.
If people are as stupid as you seem to think, then why would you want to be around them/ argue with them/ share your music with them? Either you're as stupid as they are, or you're just a bitch who can't accept that some people have an honest opinion based on personal observations. When you deny any of us the expression of those opinions, it makes you the ignorant asshole. I'm sure you still won't understand, but it's not through lack of trying.

Lol @ Earl Sweatshirt headlining... kind of. Between Tegan & Sara, Earl (and friends, I'd hope), HTDA, and Bassnectar, I expect The Stone Roses to be QUITE THE INTIMATE MAIN STAGE SHOW.

It's tough enough for a band to hail from New Orleans these days, but getting stuck with a Sunday night slot at an out-of-town venue during Independence Day weekend plain blows. Then again, I could extend a pity party to just about any band--Quintron and Miss Pussycat get love for more than mere circumstance. This weird-wave duo, in spite of their minimal keyboard rig, are flat-out infectious, pumping organ-backed soul into a dance-y fusion of the B-52's, Ladytron and Lost Sounds. And in case you didn't gather, songs like "French Quarter Faggot" aren't typical, touristy N.O. jazz fare. After you watch Sunday night fireworks, head to the Gypsy for a dance explosion.

Firefighters battled a four-alarm fire at Harbor Place condominiums on Bow Street in Portsmouth on Friday evening.
Investigators are looking at the chimney as a possible cause of the fire. Heavy smoke was seen coming from in and around the roof of the building.
Fire officials said that one woman slipped on ice outside the building. No other injuries were reported.
Firefighters said the location of the building was making it difficult for fire crews to fight the fire as they worked to keep it from spreading to other buildings.
At least 4 units were left uninhabitable.
