Philip Falcone bet against the housing industry last year, and it paid off to the tune of $1.5 billion. Now he has a stake in the Minnesota Wild.
Hedge fund manager Philip Falcone pondered a question during an interview in his Manhattan office, where he manages $26 billion in assets.

CHISHOLM, Minn.
At Valentini's Supper Club, a half-dozen longtime residents reflect on their native son. Philip Falcone was a hockey standout, dubbed "the phantom" for his uncanny ability to cruise -- untouched -- legs barely pumping, past defenders.
He was the youngest of nine, who grew up in his brothers' hand-me-downs; the quiet, inquisitive kid with a sheepish grin who worried about his grades or making the hockey team, even after it was clear that he was one of the best players in the state. He was the one most deeply affected when the father he worshiped walked out on his family, leaving his mother to raise them on an 80-cent-an-hour job at the local shirt factory.
When word creeped out this spring that Falcone, now a New York hedge fund manager, made more than $1.5 billion by gambling against the housing market, and recently used part of his wealth to buy a minority stake in the Minnesota Wild, many in this Iron Range town of 5,000 could scarcely believe it.
Even his 86-year-old mother, Caroline, who feeds him rigatoni and meatballs when he comes home and keeps his phone number taped to a lamp next to her living-room chair, said she never imagined that Philip would be so successful.
For Bob Shock, 71, assistant hockey coach for 23 years at Chisholm High School, the image of Falcone the hedge fund titan failed to register as vividly as his memory of a boy who skated past dusk and wore hockey socks around his throat to keep warm.
"He may be a big shot in New York, but he'll always be a little Iron Ranger to us," Shock said.
The two sides of Falcone -- Iron Ranger and hedge fund manager -- collide in the midtown Manhattan offices of Harbinger Capital Partners.
The digs are quiet and spartan, with a threadbare blue carpet and a long table of traders and research analysts -- 18 in all -- hunched over computers.
Falcone, 45, spends the first several minutes of a three-hour interview staring into the distance and running his hands through his shoulder-length hockey hair. He looks as if he'd rather be anywhere else. "I'm not much of a talker," he confesses.
He doesn't need to be. With $26 billion under his management, he is loudly heard. Known on Wall Street as a "vulture investor," he buys large stakes in troubled or bankrupt companies and then agitates for change -- often using the courts when managers fight his wishes.
Falcone might have remained just another anonymous fund manager were it not for a spectacularly successful bet against the housing market. In 2006, he and a handful of other fund managers began buying hundreds of millions of dollars of credit default swaps, contracts that are supposed to insure bondholders against loss. The riskier the underlying mortgages became, the more the swaps were worth. Bearish investors like Falcone bought swaps early, betting that the housing market would crumble.
As mortgage delinquencies spiked, the value of credit-default swaps soared. "It was a gutsy bet, because so few of us were doing it," said Whitney Tilson, founder of New York hedge fund T2 Partners.
By year's end, Falcone personally had reaped more than $1.5 billion, considered one of the largest one-year paydays in Wall Street history. In 2007, Falcone's hedge fund posted a net gain of 114 percent. His face appeared on the cover of Business Week. His $49 million purchase of a 27-room mansion from former Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione -- it features an indoor pool, solarium, and theater -- became fodder for New York tabloids.
He also bought into the career he could no longer have, snapping up a minority stake in the Minnesota Wild. In April, Craig Leipold paid $260 million for 51 percent of the NHL franchise, and Falcone, who keeps a collection of old Minnesota North Stars trading cards in a glass case on his desk, invested an unidentified sum for a 35 percent stake. "I figured if I can't play in the NHL, I might as well buy a team," he said.
Despite speculation that Falcone will step in as the Wild's managing partner when Leipold, who is 56, has had enough, Falcone says he'll remain a passive investor.
"Listen, Craig is running the team, which I'm fine with," Falcone says. "I don't have the time to do that right now, and I don't think you can do it halfway."
A childhood on ice
Growing up in Chisholm, Falcone found refuge on the ice, and ultimately the ticket to a life he never imagined.
When Philip was 9, his father left his job as a supervisor in Chisholm's water department and moved to Iowa. Refusing to uproot the family, Caroline got a job sewing ladies jackets at a local factory.
Falcone said he worked through the pain of his father's departure the only way he knew how -- immersing himself in sports and school. He spent long hours skating back and forth on the ice across from his house, shooting the puck into an empty net and making pretend crowd noises to himself.
"I became more of an introvert," Falcone said. "And maybe there was some anger and maybe that added to my drive. There's no question that I stepped up my intensity in the classroom and on the ice."
Mark Baron, of Hermantown, one of Falcone's closest friends then and now, said they would secretly tape open the bolts of Chisholm's indoor ice arena so they could skate after hours. "I'm not exaggerating when I say there was nothing else but hockey for us," Baron said.
The hard work paid off when, in 1979, the Chisholm High School hockey team went on a 12-game winning streak, and beat mighty Grand Rapids -- a perennial hockey powerhouse -- in overtime, with Falcone scoring two goals. So many people crammed into the arena for the game that the "fire marshal just walked away, shaking his head," said former coach Herb Sellars.
In Chisholm, basketball had always been king. But for a brief while -- they lost in the first round of the playoffs -- Falcone and his teammates were hometown heroes. College recruiters came knocking, including Harvard University, which persuaded Falcone to come out East.
Falcone remembers his physics teacher asking, "' Why are they gonna take you?' I was like, 'Why wouldn't they?' It's times like that, and comments like that, that have always fueled my drive."
A long way from home
At Harvard, Falcone played center on the varsity hockey team and majored in economics. He played professional hockey in Sweden for a year before a thigh injury ended his sports career.
His Wall Street career began at Kidder Peabody in New York, which hired him to trade high-interest junk bonds for just $20,000 a year. At the time, the junk bond market was largely unregulated, and young traders were treated like fraternity pledges. Falcone remembers a veteran Kidder trader ordering one of the new hires to get him a Philly cheese steak sandwich -- from Philadelphia.
Despite his Harvard degree, Falcone was still rough around the edges. He was proud of his first suit, which he'd paid $80 for, until a trader spotted the "American Craftsman" label inside. "He goes, 'Hey, Falcone, where'd you buy this thing, at the local hardware store?'"
But the competitive atmosphere energized him. Within three years, he was making $500,000 and was ready to take a shot at his own leveraged-buyout business.
In 1990, he teamed with a friend from Harvard; they pooled their savings to acquire AAB Manufacturing, a troubled maker of hairbrushes and other consumer products. Falcone became president.
But the venture failed -- miserably. Within six months, AAB had defaulted on its loan covenants; soon after, one of its largest customers filed for bankruptcy. Falcone, who had personally guaranteed the loans, had his bank account frozen and the lights shut off at his apartment.
A bank officer asked if he had any valuable artwork in his rented apartment. "I told him that I had a Bobby Orr poster in my bedroom, and you're welcome to that if you want it," he said. "I had nothing."
Falcone went back to what he knew: investing. Rather than operate companies, he began snapping up troubled assets, shorting distressed bonds and taking large positions in sinking companies.
Some bets were notable. He invested $150 million in Fortescue Metals, an iron ore company in Australia that faced severe losses five years ago. Thanks in part to a worldwide commodities boom, that investment is now worth $4.7 billion. He bought General Chemical, a New Jersey-based soda ash producer, out of bankruptcy and recently sold it for a $500 million profit.
Gobbling up New York Times stock
In January, Falcone and another fund bought a 4.9 percent stake in the public shares of the New York Times, pushing the newspaper to sell off non-core assets and add four directors to its family controlled board. The Times recently agreed to add two of those picks to its 15-person board. Falcone and a Times spokeswoman declined to discuss the investment.
Falcone is also rumored to have bought a 5 percent stake in the Star Tribune's debt, which he also won't discuss.
In recent years, Falcone has shown he's not afraid to sue to get what he wants. In 2006, for instance, he bought a 10 percent stake in then-struggling Openwave Systems Inc., and accused the software company of flouting the will of its shareholders when it blocked two of his nominees to its board. Falcone asked a Delaware court to order a new election, but the judge ruled against him.
At Harbinger, the only other employees with offices are the firm's two attorneys.
"He's become more of an activist investor now," said Brad Alford, founder of Alpha Capital Management in Atlanta. "And with $26 billion, he's got a pretty big stick."
Still, in the world of Wall Street, some believe Falcone got lucky with one big bet on the housing industry. The general view is that one-hit wonders "have a pass to the executive washroom, but it's just a day's pass," said Scott Galloway, founder of hedge fund Firebrand Partners. Galloway, who has invested alongside Falcone, strongly disagrees with that sentiment.
Falcone said the naysayers have overlooked the amount of research that went into his strategy. Nearly a year before he started buying credit-default swaps, Falcone explored at length whether Congress would bail out homeowners; he hired two lobbyists and made several trips to Washington before deciding that a bailout was unlikely.
Falcone noted that his fund is up 35 percent this year, while most broad-based hedge fund indexes are down slightly. His fund is up 575 percent since 2001. "For people to say it was just a fleeting thing, they're dead wrong and I'm going to prove it," he said.
Funding fireworks
Falcone insists that his newfound millions haven't changed him. He still walks 10 blocks to work each day, and continues to take his 3-year-old twin daughters, Liliana and Carolina, on a date at least one night a week.
So far, he's spent money on matters close to him -- refurbishing the hockey team's locker room at Harvard, helping fund a documentary on Minnesota's pond hockey tournament, donating $50,000 to the Chisholm Community Foundation. He tried to buy his mother a new house, but she refused.
This weekend, at the three-day Falcone annual July 4th gathering on Little Sturgeon Lake, Philip brought the lobster tails.
Last summer, at Chisholm High's all-class reunion, he donated $15,000 to help fund the fireworks show, which according to many longtime residents, was the best the town had ever seen. Later that night, Falcone paid for a night of drinks for everyone at Tom & Jerry's Bar in downtown Chisholm, then tipped six bartenders $250 apiece.
"It's just money," Falcone says. "It's there, but it doesn't define who I am."

I'm always looking to shave bites. Instead of saying normal I'm going to say 100 from now on. Extremely small detail. But a detail that has eluded me for 10 years.

I'm always looking to shave bites. Instead of saying normal I'm going to say 100 from now on. Extremely small detail. But a detail that has eluded me for 10 years.
Except that, technically speaking, font-weight:100; is not the same as font-weight:normal;. (Although in practical terms, it might as well be!)
Font-weight has a scale from 100 to 900 (no idea why they didn't just use 1 to 9, as it only allows multiples of 100). A weight of 400 corresponds to 'normal' and a weight of 700 corresponds to 'bold'. Other numbers on the scale can be for varying degrees of light, book, semibold, extrabold etc.
Where a font doesn't have those extra weights built in then browsers should use the nearest matching weight. I do have a handful of fonts that come in a variety of weights, but the computer doesn't recognise them as being variants of the same font, but different fonts, so the browser doesn't know that 'Gotham Book / 100' is actually 'Gotham Light', for example. I haven't yet seen an example of this working properly in practice, to give anything other than 'regular' and 'bold', except that some browsers will try to fake a semibold for weight:500, but just like when the OS tries to fake an italic or bold face for a font that doesn't have one, these look awful.
So yes, by all means use font-weight:100;, but there is a one-in-a-billion chance that someone, somewhere, might see it in the wrong variant of the font. If you're worried about that one-in-a-billion chance, using font-weight:400; won't cost you an extra bytes.
Actually Eric,
The problem is you will be doing something that is technically wrong for the sake of shaving off a few characters from your code. the numbers in font-weight property actually refer to specific font weights of a font family, an attribute in a FONT FILE, so you are betting the accuracy of your design on an error of omission. Not only is this wrong in principle , but it could lead to headaches in future updates. If you ever decide to take full advantage of web fonts, you will have to back an fix all instances of the "shortcut" code. The other problem is that some users MAY have that font family installed ... however rare the case.. and these users will see some ultra light version of the font ( the one equivalent with the number used) and not erroneously, but because it what you code actually specified.
400 it is then. Problem solved
If you want to save on bytes, just use the font: shorthand. No need to specify font weight at all. :)

Player types: The offensive liability
Cam Charron
September 13 2011 09:21AM
Earlier, I introduced on The Nations Network a new way of looking at a player's plus/minus rating, specifically to do with on-ice shot differential, in an effort to learn more about teams and players.
This month, somewhat regularly, I will break down types of players and teams in an effort to localize player talents and figure out exactly what certain teams need. There's definitely more to a hockey player than simply being "good" or "bad" and by how much, so today I will profile the defensive forward.
Nature vs. Nurture
Dean Belanger
September 12 2011 11:19PM
The debate has raged for centuries, are we products of genetics or does our environment dictate the future outcome? Pro sports has it's own version of this argument. Is drafting more important or is development? Would Mark Messier have been a Hall of Famer had Edmonton not selected him in the 3rd round of the 1979 entry draft? Would he have become that same player in another organization? How about Ken Daneyko? What if he had been drafted by Winnipeg instead of Jim Kyte in 1982? Would he still have realized all of that potential?
Comparisons Many Between Old & New Jets

For the sake of argument, let's compare the original Winnipeg Jets who left in 1996 to our modern day 2011 Winnipeg Jets.
In 1996, the Jets had a young, up-and-coming team with the likes of Keith Tkachuk, Alexei Zhamnov, Teppo Numminen, and Nikolai Khabibulin during the beginning of their careers.
Jets-Sharks Game Day: First Look

After a summer where commercial matters like logos and sweater unveilings dominated NHL news in Winnipeg, the Jets' prospects take to the ice in Penticton this evening for their YoungStars opener in the first instance of actual hockey for the franchise. The youngsters head into this week coming off a couple of heavily attended practice sessions back here in the homeland, but tonight's tilt with the baby Sharks should be a proper chance to examine how much progress a few key players have made over the summer.

Kit: Swim Practice
Tell people you begin the day with a swim and they're bound to reply with a look that's equal parts envy, bewilderment and awe. Who swims, for exercise, in the morning? Who risks certain athlete's foot and doesn't mind going to work with goggle eyes? How many people pee in the pool? Old people and triathletes, that's who. And everyone. But the reality is that swimming is the perfect impact-free sport for long-term fitness and short-term ripped abs, and while you can do it with nothing but a pair of Speedos and a smile, having a stocked duffel can make the experience more fulfilling than a philosophical conversation with Ryan Lochte — much more.

Rigby & Rigby adds two more sites to development portfolio
Related fund data links
London prime residential property specialist Rigby & Rigby has added a further two sites to its development portfolio, building on the GBP60 million of property transactions already completed in the capital in 2014.
The company, part of the GBP2.8 billion turnover Rigby Group headed by Sir Peter Rigby, specialises in bespoke restorations, renovations and conversions in some of London's most exclusive addresses.
It has acquired a further two, three bedroom luxury apartments in Mayfair, and expects to return them to the market in the first quarter of next year.
The company's recent completed projects and instructions range from the restoration of elegant townhouses and stylish apartments, to less conventional projects including the conversion of an historic Knightsbridge church.
Steve Rigby, Rigby Group chief operating officer and founder of the company, says: "2014 has been a very successful time for the company so far and our pipeline continues to build. Our strategy and focus is on bespoke development in some of the most sort after locations in London and our work from concept design and architecture through to completion has been widely recognised for its quality.
"We are very proud to have been associated with some of the finest redevelopments of property in London in recent times. We will continue acquiring properties for resale or carrying out high end projects for our private clients."

When are you opening?
This is a question you hear very often this time of year. Just take a look at the facebook page, Twitter Feed or Instagram feed and all the posts from excited guests. Our reservations team has also been flooded with the question "When will you open?". We are just excited about opening and trying out all of the new snowguns we purchased over the summer, but there is a lot more involved in snowmaking then just turning a switch and seeing snow.
Since we rely completely on snowmaking, we cannot predict an opening day that far in advance. It all depends on Mother Nature. But, I can ensure you that we want Bear Creek open just as much as you.
Snowmaking has a lot of variables; it is not just the ambient air temperature, but also humidity, water temperatures and long term forecasts (you don't want to waste resources to just see it melt away)
We spoke to the snowmaking team and they enlightened us on what they need to get this winter started.
"There is a lot more involved in making snow that you probably think. The main thing we rely on is the wet bulb temperature. A wet bulb temperature is achieved by calculating relative humidity and ambient temperature. The dryer the air (low humidity) the colder your wet bulb temperature will be. When humidity is high, the wet bulb temperature will become closer to the actual ambient temperature. For example: 32 degrees at 25% humidity = 24 Degrees wet bulb. 32 Degrees at 80% humidity = 30 degrees wet bulb. Here at Bear Creek, our optimal wet bulb temperature to start our snow guns is 28 degrees. If it is more than this, it can be very unproductive and the quality of snow produced is similar to slush."
You can check out the ideal wet bulb temperatures on this Wet Bulb chart.
With ideal wet bulb temperatures, we could open the mountain 100% with a solid week of snowmaking. So let's hope for colder temperatures and Think Snow!

Summer really flew by and we are now counting down the days until our Fall events. Our next event is Oktoberfest, even though this is the 4th year for this event we are still making changes so we can put on the best event possible for our guests.

The trails at Bear Creek Mountain Resort include 150-year-old mining switchback roads up the mountain. The trails also feature rocky, technical sections which demand as much power, skill and technique on the ascents as on the descents.
The amateur cross-country course spans just short of seven miles and includes many of the course features available on the mountain. The pro course includes the mountain's signature feature, a rock drop plus a triple log crossing and a rock jump just before the finish.
Full course maps are available online.
More information on the 2014 USA Cycling Cross-Country Mountain Bike National Championships including start lists, schedule, results, photos and daily event recaps will be available on the event webpage.

Having Fun and Staying Fit During your Mountain Vacation
Check out this great blog entry from a local contributor Susie Rankin.
A vacation to a popular mountain resort sounds like a dream. Relaxation, fantastic food, spectacular views and the odd bit of skiing thrown in – what more could you want from a vacation? Well, as more than one third of the adult American population is now classed as obese, the likelihood is you want to avoid gaining too much weight whilst relaxing on your well earned break from everyday life. Luckily, a mountain resort is the perfect place for the whole family to relax, have fun, eat well and stay fit. A vacation in a mountain resort could even kick start a new healthy eating and exercise regime if you wanted it to because of the range of physical indoor and outdoor activities available. This article will outline some of the key ways a mountain based vacation can improve fitness, whilst advising on the best ways to avoid the seemingly inevitable vacationers weight gain.
Think Food – and Make Healthy Choices
OK, so when you are on vacation it is easy to eat all the delicious foods you usually go to lengths to avoid – and why shouldn't you? You are entitled to a treat, right? Whilst this is definitely true, eating the treat foods needs to be balanced with healthy foods, too for the benefit of your overall health. Gaining weight too quickly can be as damaging to the human body as losing it suddenly and care needs to be taken to avoid either extreme. Luckily, a good mountain resort will have a range of eating options available for you with a myriad of healthy foods to enjoy. A good menu will offer different choices of meat and restaurants should also accommodate alternative cooking methods – if you prefer to have your steak grilled simply ask the waiter. It can be a good idea to ask for salad dressings on the side of dishes and try to steer clear of fattening cream based sauces. Likewise, just because a menu offers several courses, it doesn't follow that each course must be devoured with reckless abandon. The chances are you will feel full after a good starter so, at the very least, give yourself breathing space in between each course.
Take Advantage of the Great Outdoors
A mountain resort can be the perfect place for those who love nature, simply because of the sheer number of outdoor activities available. The season during which you visit will largely dictate the types of calorie burning activities you can enjoy but rest assured, if you have eaten a five course meal the night previously, you will probably be itching to try every activity available. At Bear Creek Mountain resort, summer, spring and fall visitors are able to go hiking among the spectacular scenery of the mountains, biking on local trails, try their hand at disc golf and play tennis everyday – all activities which can conceivably burn hundreds of calories a session. In the winter months, the resort offers skiing, snow-tubing and snowboarding – all activities which burn vast amounts of calories and prove a huge boost to fitness. Although the amount of calories burned varies according to individual weight and activity levels, as a general rule, ski-ing or snow boarding can burn up to 3000 calories per six hour session. Obviously, this means happy vacationers can enjoy the dessert cart in the restaurant without feeling guilty.
Take Time Out to Rest Those Muscles
Of course, your vacation should, above all, be as relaxing as possible. There is no better way to unwind than by treating yourself to a day spa and perhaps a massage. In fact, relaxation is as much an essential ingredient in boosting fitness levels as cardiovascular exercise is. Muscles need time to repair themselves and failure to rest adequately can lead to joint and muscle damage. It is therefore vital that after a day of hiking, skiing or any other physical activity, visitors take time to sit back and enjoy the scenery. In fact, most good workout programs will incorporate steady rest periods so as to give the body time to rejuvenate fully. Whatever your preferred activity whilst on a mountain based vacation, be sure to take full advantage of every facility offered – be it a calorie busting day on the slopes or a luscious massage. It's your vacation and you deserve to have fun and stay fit.

Silence continues between NHL, NHLPA
Dec 16, 2012, 6:52 PM EST
For the third straight day, the NHL and NHLPA haven't spoken at all, RDS' Renaud P. Lavoie reports.
It really comes as no surprise when you consider the events of this weekend.
The league filed a class action complaint on Friday in hopes of curbing the NHLPA's likely move to de-certify. (As also expected, the union began the five-day voting process on Sunday to determine if they'll file that disclaimer of interest.)
While the two sides continue this game of CBA chicken, onlookers can enjoy digesting the legal details and hearing about players getting "locked out" of team-owned restaurants. Good times.

(BTW I love the Atlantia Arts & Sciences page, great links!) I don't have any of my books with me here at work, and I have a memory like a ... oh you know... big grey thing... large ears... long trunk... oh what's it called?! I have seen a wonderful set of hangings which had 'true' slips on them, flowers, other plants, birds, people etc, all done in tent and/or cross stitch and carefully cut out, tacked onto a velvet background and then a gold couching cord run around them to neaten the edges. In the book I saw this in they reported that there was surviving evidence that everyone from the lady of the house to the stable boys were roped in to work the slips. I think they may even be in the Hardwick Hall collection but I'm not sure. I've also seen some lovely satin, long pillows for the bed which were done in the 16th c., all covered with floral slips and insects. My SCA device (coat of arms) has a pomegranate on it, no guesses what motifs I'm working as part of my first project... Rowena wrote, "There are some pretty good pictures in "the Needlework of Mary, Queen of Scotts" as well as a summary which does talk about some of the cross-stitch pieces. "She did not embroider for the sake of the stitches. The pieces that remain are not smoothly finished meticulous embroidery. They were drawn out for her with the shapes outlined in black silk. She filled in the colors with cross or tent stitch, shading as necessary from the silks available, enlivening the design with an occasional chain or braid stitch to emphasize the lettering or to highlight the lozenge compartments of the cushions now at Hardwick. " p121" Thanks Rowena, I've seen this book and it's a good source. I try real hard to loosen up my style (I'm Virgo), I think we forget sometimes how loose and free some of the period work is, which adds to its charm. Sarah Randles made this point about the Elizabethan embroidery books the other day, that the 'regularity' of some of the work makes it look a bit modern. I'm drawing my slips in outline only, and then 'colouring' them freehand with thread. It takes a bit of getting used to when you've worked from a chart or painted canvas, but so long as you give yourself the freedom to rip things out and try again... Linn Skinner wrote: "The V&A had a nice little temporary exhibit last winter which gave a feel of the complete picture. They had correspondence (an invoice/receipt) from the embroiderer and several of the slips concerned exhibited together..." Linn, Thanks for the info, do you know if the V&A did a catalogue for this exhibit? If it was small scale, perhaps not.

Pity the Los Angeles residents who lug home pricey high-definition television sets only to find that most of their shows don't look much better.
The entertainment capital of the world ranks last among the five biggest U.S. markets in the number of high-definition channels available to cable-TV subscribers. New York, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia all get far more, as do such smaller cities as San Diego and Charlotte, N.C.
High-definition TV: An article in Section A on Tuesday about Los Angeles' receiving fewer high-definition TV channels than many other major markets said telecommunications provider Verizon
Communications Inc. doesn't serve the city. Though Verizon doesn't offer pay-TV service in Los Angeles, it serves a small number of phone customers in parts of West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
Southern California's No. 1 pay-TV provider, Time Warner Cable Inc., can't improve its systems fast enough to keep up with demand for the sharper pictures of high-definition.
The company, which serves 1.9 million customers across Southern California, has promised to add 12 high-definition channels by July 1, and nine more by the end of the year, but cynical subscribers aren't buying it.
On High Def Forum, a website for HD enthusiasts, local residents mocked Time Warner's announcement this month that new channels would come soon, saying they had heard that talk before. Some customers have complained to the company, while others have left it for satellite rivals.
If someone shells out $1,000 or more for a television with better resolution, it seems he would want programming to match. Scott Benson, a 27-year-old Los Feliz resident, loves the crystal-clear images on his 42-inch Sony and thinks regular television is like watching "with Vaseline on the screen."
Time Warner's high-definition channel lineup disappoints Benson. And his apartment building forbids satellite dishes, so he can't switch to satellite-TV providers DirecTV or Dish Network, which offer far more high-definition channels, for sharper versions of Discovery, CNN, A&E and others.
"It makes you feel trapped," Benson said. For TV, he would be better off moving back in with his mom in a suburb of Boston, where she receives twice as many high-definition channels from Comcast Corp.
In the Los Angeles metropolitan area, 1.5 million households own high-definition televisions, and 80% of them receive at least one high-definition channel, according to Nielsen Co., a research firm. (An HDTV set also displays regular programming, although no more sharply than a regular television.)
Time Warner offers 16 high-definition channels to Benson and other basic-cable subscribers in the L.A. area. Its customers get 38 high-definition channels in San Antonio, 23 in San Diego and Dallas, 22 in New York and 18 in Charlotte, N.C.
In south Orange County, Cox Communications Inc. offers 36 high-definition basic channels, while Charter Communications Inc. offers 21 in Long Beach and 20 in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley.
San Diego resident Kylan Mandile, 27, switched to DirecTV from Time Warner two months ago. He and his roommate decided it was worth an extra $30 a month so they could see more high-definition sports and HBO on their 42-inch Panasonic TV.
"Once you're used to watching HD, it's hard to go back," Mandile said.
Time Warner became the dominant cable-TV provider in the Greater Los Angeles area in mid-2006, when it joined with Comcast to buy out bankrupt Adelphia Communications Corp. Then Time Warner swapped franchises with Comcast so each would have dominant markets in different parts of the U.S.
The combination proved costly because Time Warner Cable had to revamp and upgrade Adelphia's and Comcast's old franchises and meld them with its own. Customers swamped call centers with complaints about Internet and e-mail outages, TV channel lineup changes and, especially, the hours they spent on hold to fix things.
"In the last stages of Adelphia's existence, they were bleeding money," said analyst Kurt Scherf at Parks Associates, a consulting and research firm. "They were putting very little into infrastructure upgrades."
Satellite provider DirecTV offers 32 high-definition channels as part of its basic package and Dish Network offers 28. Telecommunications provider Verizon Communications Inc. is installing a fiber-optic network that it calls FiOS, with 32 high-definition channels and plans for 150 basic and premium high-definition channels by the end of the year.

NEW YORK (LowCards.com) For years, the United States has lagged behind the rest of the world on moving to more secure EMV credit cards. Consumers have not asked for them, so credit card issuers and retailers have not made the costly switch. But recent data thefts at Target and Neiman Marcus that have affected millions may force that long-overdue change on the credit card industry.
While the United States accounts for only 27% of the credit card transactions in the world, it is responsible for 47% of card fraud, according to the Nilson Report.
In the United States, credit cards have a magnetic stripe that contains payment information with a 16-digit number that never changes and is given out hundreds, if not thousands, of times each year. It is relatively easy for a sophisticated thief to steal this information and create a fake card.
An EMV card, named for developers Europay, MasterCard and Visa, is a regular-size card with an embedded chip and a magnetic strip. The transaction information is encoded differently every time, which makes it harder for criminals to steal data and use them for another purchase. Chip and PIN is a much more secure technology and requires the cardholder to enter a four digit Personal Identification Number that must correspond with information on the chip. No personal information about your account is stored on the chip.

MBA Admissions Directors Tackle Plagiarism
Posted by: Alison Damast on June 15, 2011
Business schools are making it a priority to combat plagiarism in admissions essays, following an incident last year when a Penn State admissions officer discovered dozens of MBA applicants who copied verbatim from an online essay. Next Wednesday, admissions officers will be gathering in Boston to speak about plagiarism and integrity in application essays at the Graduate Management Admission Council's annual conference. Carrie Marcinkevage from Penn State's Smeal College of Business (Smeal Full-Time MBA Profile), will be moderating the session, along with other admissions officers.
Since the Penn State incident last year, Marcinkevage has become a spokeswoman of sorts for admissions plagiarism, urging her fellow admissions officers to take more decisive action in this area. In February, she started an online discussion group called Integrity in MBA Admissions. Since then more than 100 business school admissions officers have joined the group.
She's also taken action by using a software application designed by iParadigms called Turnitin for Admissions that scans essays, personal statements and scholarship essays for signs of plagiarism. The software is expected to have wide appeal for admissions officers because it is integrated into the ApplyYourself Application system, which more than half of top U.S. business schools use to process applications, according to a press release from iParadigms.
So far, only two business schools have publicly announced that they are using the software: Smeal and Northeastern University's Graduate School of Business Administration (Northeastern Full-Time MBA Profile). To garner more interest, Turnitin for Admissions will be hosting a meeting about the tool for admissions officers on June 23rd, following the GMAC conference that day. A spokesman for Turnitin said the company expects to announce in the next month or two how many business schools plan to use the software.
When we wrote the story in February, Bloomberg Businessweek ran a Debate Room feature on whether business schools should depend on technology to help them combat plagiarized essays. Readers, I'd be curious to hear your opinion on this issue. Do you think a service like Turnitin for Admissions will be an effective tool in this area or do business schools need to do more?

Comments about Womens New Balance Minimus Hi-Rez Running Shoe:
Bought these because I wanted to try something new. I wear a size 8 and usually buy 8.5 in my running shoes. When I got these the 8.5 gave me my first black toe :( So I returned them for a 9 and LOVE them. I have done 3 really good (long fast) runs and it feels like I am running on carpet with socks. They are so light. Suggest these shoes to anyone looking to go more natural but not ready to run without shoes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Have two pair of these & really love them. Great for heel-toe & forefoot running with no restrictions. These shoes let you be you !!! I hope this line of Saucony will stay with us for a while. This is a great lightweight shoe. If you are a heavy runner these shoes will probably wear out much faster.
