It was clear that something had gone wrong this week for Jaleel White. On Monday night's episode of Dancing With the Stars, the Family Matters alum broke down on camera after dancing a gorgeous rumba with his pro partner, Kym Johnson, scoring 25 out of 30, and, in the words of the judges, showing great confidence and chemistry.But the two danced in the midst of a tabloid report that surfaced earlier in the day, citing an "insider" saying that White had blown up in rehearsals on Friday and had verbally attacked his partner, calling her "an idiot." The report then suggested ...

In the end, even her fabulous tennis footwork — and having the likes of Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors cheering her on — couldn't save her. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova had to endure the worst kind of Dancing With The Stars rejection: Being voted off first.
They both looked stunned: William Levy, the 31-year-old Latin heartthrob who is causing quite a commotion in the ballroom before he even starts dancing. And Martina Navratilova, the 55-year-old tennis legend who broke down in tears, twice, on the press line following Monday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, after getting the lowest score of the night for her awkward and out-of-sync jive.

One after another, they came out on the dance floor, and either surprised or dazzled us. Judges, pros, hosts, audience members — okay, everyone — was stunned by the across-the-board display of raw talent on Dancing With the Stars' Season 14 premiere.

"I'm not going out there in a thong," says soap star Jack Wagner (The Bold and the Beautiful). "Anything else, I'm good to go."
And so are 11 other stars, who will strap on their dancing shoes for the 14th season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars. Call it the Season of Nostalgia, with actors like Wagner, Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie) and Jaleel White (Urkel from Family Matters); the "Empress of Soul" Gladys Knight and tennis legend Martina Navratilova taking top billing.
What is newly crowned Dancing With the Stars champion J.R. Martinez going to do with his mirror ball trophy? "I'm gonna put mine in bed. I'm gonna tuck it in, and it's gonna roll around with me. And after that, I'm gonna glue it on the hood of my car and drive around Los Angeles honking my horn. It's gonna be my own parade."
Here's what happened to the Dancing With the Stars finalists on Monday night: Ricki Lake did her best not to screw up the lifts in her freestyle dance — "I was really afraid of falling down," she said.

His mother made him do the show. He wanted to quit the first week. And for the first weeks of rehearsal, he couldn't even look his pro partner, Cheryl Burke, in the eye.
Sources inside Dancing With the Stars say Rob Kardashian making it all the way to the finals has been nothing short of miraculous. He cops to not wanting to do the show at all, and being pushed by his mom, Kris Jenner, the master reality show puppeteer who pulls the family strings.

"I was just completely off-key tonight," J.R. Martinez said as he limped off the ballroom floor during Monday night's semi-finals on Dancing With the Stars.

How tough is television commentator Nancy Grace? Just ask her how she has consistently managed to put a good face on things — including her elimination from Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night. "You know what?" she says. "There is never a bad day. Nobody's dead. Nobody's dismembered. I've been dancing with Tristan [her pro partner, Tristan MacManus]. My children are alive. It's all good."

How many years does an immigrant have to live in the US to become a US citizen?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The general answer to this is that a person must live in the United States for five years before the person is eligible to become a US citizen. Please note that this is not technical legal advice, just a general answer.
I should say that a person must generally live five years in the US as a legal, permanent resident before being allowed to apply for citizenship. A permanent resident is what is usually referred to as the holder of a "green card."
There are various rules about how much of the five years a person can spend outside the US, but the idea is that the US must be your permanent home for five years before you can apply.
There are some requirements to gain US citizenship but the major rule is:
*Have resided continuously in the United States, having been lawfully admitted for permanent residence, for five years immediately preceding the date you filed your application for naturalization.
1. Unable to comply due to a documented disability;
2. Are more than 50 years old and have lived in the United States for 20 years or more as a permanent resident alien;
3. Are more than 55 years old and have lived in the United States for 15 years or more as a permanent resident alien.
You will be required to take a test of your knowledge of U.S. history and government unless you are:
1. Unable to comply due to a documented disability;
2. Are 65 years old or older and have been a permanent resident alien for more than 20 years.
If you are age 65 or older and have been a permanent resident of the US for 20 years you can take a simplified civics test in your language.

Fifteen animated movies have been accepted for consideration for the 83rd Academy Awards in the Animated Feature Film category, but only three of them (announced on Jan. 25) will vie for the Oscar on Feb. 27. Have your favorites made the cut?
Of course, my kids' favorites would be... all of them. To them, the best film we've ever seen is usually the last film we've seen. (Good news for Alvin & The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel, which we revisit often). Kids don't really know good films from bad films, which is all right by me, because it ensures a good time, every time.
My kids and I have seen a few of the big films up for Oscar consideration, and my personal favorite is How to Train Your Dragon, the most original, heartfelt, funny, cinematic and enjoyable animated film that didn't have to pander to its audience with over-their-head jokes and parodies.
Though Toy Story 3 is being called the strong front-runner, I always think originals should get the edge over sequels -- especially if the word "Shrek" is in there somewhere.
I regret I'll never get around to seeing all these films -- not only does it take gobs of time to see movies these days, but gobs of money as well. It's probably not good for the eyes to see more than two 3-D movies a year anyway.
Here's the Final 15:
Alpha and Omega
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
Despicable Me
The Dreams of Jinsha
How to Train Your Dragon
Idiots and Angels
The Illusionist
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
My Dog Tulip
Shrek Forever After

--> ''[[SuddenlyVoiced "Hey! Come back here, you big monkey!"]]''
--> --'''Mario'''
Mario vs Donkey Kong (2004) is a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' arcade games. First, it was planned to be an UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong94'' (itself having an improved remake of the original game as its first four levels) with the ability for players to make custom levels. This mechanic was scrapped though and the game was completely reworked and released on the GameBoyAdvance. In short, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] has had Mini-Mario toys made in his image, but Franchise/DonkeyKong, unable to buy them in stores due to them being sold out, has stolen them from the factory.
In the NintendoDS sequel, ''March of the Minis'' (2006), Mario is opening a "Super Mini-Mario World" amusement park, and Pauline (from the original arcade game) is a guest of honor at the opening ceremonies. DK is instantly smitten with her, but when she shuns his Mini-DK gift in favor of a Mini-Mario, he doesn't take it well and abducts her. This game has the level builder that was left out of the original, and begins the trend of removing Mario himself from gameplay, with the players directing the Mini-Marios (and other mini-characters in custom levels) instead.
''Minis March Again'' (2009) was the next sequel, exclusively for [=DSiWare=] download. DK's in line for the amusement park again, but when tickets sell out he gets pissed and grabs Pauline again. Its main feature was once again the level builder.
The series then returned to full retail releases with ''Mini-Land Mayhem'' (2010). Mario has made Mini-Pauline toys and is giving them away to the first hundred visitors - but DK is number 10'''1''', which... [[RecycledScript do we really need to explain it?]]
In 2013 the series' first 3D entry was announced; ''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move''. This entry provides brand new gameplay in a 3D environment.
A Wii U title was announced at E3 2014, featuring level sharing, Miiverse connectivity, and Minis of Luigi.
Nintendo3DS Ambassadors have access to the original game as one of ten free GameBoyAdvance games; incidentally, this means they can play every game in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series on one system.
The series is notable for being designed by Americans, with its developer being Nintendo Software Technology Corporation (AKA NST), which is based in Redmond, Washington, like Nintendo's main American division.
!!Tropes found in ''Mario Vs Donkey Kong'' include:
* AllThereInTheManual: The plot of the 5th game is spelled out exclusively on the first page of the digital manual included with it.
* BonusStage: The GBA original has two.
* BossOnlyLevel: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the first game. While clearing the Mini-Mario Levels always leads players to facing Donkey Kong, after the first battle in any given world the Boss Battle itself is freely accessible afterwards, although not going through the MM levels first "punishes" the player with four HitPoints instead of the "usual" six, as it would be the case if all six Mini Marios are rescued.
** Played straighter in the sequels.
* TheBusCameBack: Pauline.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: It's a Mario game.
* CraniumRide: Can be done in the first three games.
* DarkerAndEdgier: In the first game, they managed to make ''Donkey Kong'' creepy, [[SlasherSmile as seen in the boxart.]] Then you get to see him in-game, and yes, he's a menacing villain: he growls, he uses a ShadowDiscretionShot to show his ambush on the poor Toads, and so on. ''Then'' [[FromBadToWorse it got worse]] since the game itself, as a whole, is pretty darker than your usual Mario game. [[spoiler:In the real final battle, after you destroy his mecha, he ''[[HellIsThatNoise shows his pain by screaming at the top of his lungs, resulting in an inhumanly painful-looking death cry]]''.]]
* DownloadableContent: Each of the games have DLC.
** The first game has DLC in the form of e-Reader cards. Both the US and Japanese games have [[DummiedOut normally inaccessible pre-loaded levels]] and only 12 levels can be saved at any given time to the e World, which is strange since there are more than 12 pre-loaded levels in either version (13 in the US's and 14 in the Japanese's, although the US's 13 is a dummy level which doesn't exist in the Japanese version). The levels between the US and Japanese are mostly different, with a few only different in minor ways, most of the levels from the US version being heavily altered in the Japanese version, and some levels from the US version being replaced completely. Only 5 very rare cards were ever released and only in Japan. The e-Reader feature was removed from the Europe version of the game.
** In the sequels, the DLC came in the form of [[LevelEditor Construction Zone]] levels that can be shared between players either locally or via WiFi. Nintendo itself releases levels every once in a while (currently releasing levels in Mini-Land Mayhem once a month). In March of the Minis, limitations made it impossible to have more than 8 self made stages and 24 stages from others. This limitation may also explain why Nintendo itself only has 8 levels up at a time despite having developed more. It was also impossible to download more than one level at a time; As soon as one level was downloaded, you'd be disconnected and would have to reconnect to download another.
*** In Minis March Again and Mini-Land Mayhem, both of those have been improved, allowing players to not only have far more levels saved at once (160 in Mini-Land Mayhem and self made levels are no longer segregated from others'), but to also download multiple levels without disconnecting and even search for levels in various ways.
* DropTheHammer: Again, this can be done in every game released so far. [[CaptainObvious Duh]].
* DualWielding: You know the hammers we just mentioned? Unlike the real Mario, the Mini-Marios use two at once.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The original game actually starred Mario himself over the Mini-Marios, and neither Pauline nor the level editor were present. It was also far more action-based (not unlike VideoGame/DonkeyKong94) than the Lemmings-type puzzles of the rest of the games, which also use the stylus instead of the buttons.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: This series has Mario facing his old enemy from his debut into the gaming world, but this time Mario's name actually appears in the title.
* FakeLongevity: In Minis March Again, in order to unlock all the stages, you have to get bronze and silver stars [[DoWellButNotPerfect in addition to all those gold stars you worked so hard for]]. In other words, you have to intentionally take too long to complete each stage; and this is just to unlock the rest of the basement stages (only one is available initially after finishing the game). To unlock the remaining roof stages (only a few are available after you complete the game), you need to complete the game all over again in [[NewGamePlus "Plus" mode]].
* GameBreakingBug: (First game bug) In the end of some levels, like the second boss fight, the game might not consider your final score a new high score, ''but still records it''. If the player can't get a better score, then it's time to delete the file and start over.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Donkey Kong's [[spoiler:HumongousMecha]] in the first game, which attacks very identical to the [[spoiler:FinalBoss of GameBoy [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong94 Donkey Kong]]]]. Where did he get it from?
* GoodVersusGood
* HereWeGoAgain: In the first game, [[LampshadeHanging Mario quotes the trope word-for-word]]. [[spoiler:[[NewGamePlus For good reason]].]]
** And right before the [[spoiler:real]] final boss:
--->'''Mario:''' Here we go again...again.
* InCaseOfBossFightBreakGlass: The final boss.
* JustFriends: Mario and Pauline.
* LevelEditor: Pretty much the main attraction of every game but the first.
** They do have some limitations, however, as it's not possible to do create certain types of levels seen in the main game, such as any having a Multi-Door Magnet level a la Cosmic Adventure in Mini-Land Mayhem or levels where all Minis are forced to start at once after a 3 second countdown (This limitation can be overcome by having the Minis start off in mid-air, although this doesn't allow players to survey the level beforehand within the level. Luckily, they can do so in the level select screen).
** The first game does have a level editor, albeit incomplete and with some limitations of its own (such as not allowing the first level of any world to be edited). Like with the e-Reader levels, it was DummiedOut.
* MarathonLevel: There are only 3 Giant Jungle levels in ''Minis on the Move'', but it's counteract by the fact that they take around 8 minutes to beat. Most levels take around 10 to 30 seconds.
* {{Minigame}}: The first had a shell game, the second had a Whack-A-Mole type game, and ''Mini-Land Mayhem'' had a sorting game.
* MythologyGag: When a Mini-Peach grabs a Fire Flower, her dress turns white and her hair turns red -- just like Peach's color palette in the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros''.
** Whenever Pauline gets kidnapped by Donkey Kong, Mario grabs for her but only catches the hem of her dress, tearing it in the same way as [[IconicOutfit the original]] ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
** Several tunes in ''Mini-Land Mayhem'' are remixes of Mario 2 tunes.
* NewGamePlus: Subverted by the original; Although the worlds are the same, the individual levels are completely different and have different mechanics. [[spoiler:The final battle of Plus Mode is also [[TrueFinalBoss different.]]]] ''Mini-Land Mayhem'' plays this straight, for the most part; the only differences are that the order you get Minis to the goal is important, and bosses and minigames are harder.
* OneHitPointWonder: If it hurts Mario, it kills him. The exceptions are the bosses at the end of the 12 worlds.
* RantInducingSlight: DK gets set off by one in every game.
* RegionalBonus: Although there were no major gameplay enhancements, the European localization, as well as the Japanese translation of the first game added a few graphical tweaks. Unfortunately, Mario's dialogue during the credits were removed from these localizations.
* RobotMe: The Mini-Marios are basically ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wind-up toys. [[spoiler:Also, the TrueFinalBoss of the first game is a HumongousMecha shaped like and piloted by DK.]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: The first is this to ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong94'', while the later titles are this to ''MarioAndWario''.
** Graphically, the first game use pre-rendered 3D models, not unlike ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''.
** Mini-Land Mayhem uses each of the world building/tearing mechanics seen throughout all of VideoGame/DonkeyKong94 (Road, Ladder, Spring, and the Hammer as one of two methods of destroying certain blocks)and more.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Mario in the original game, and Pauline in ''Mini-Land Mayhem''.
* VersusTitle: For the first four games. ''Minis on the Move'' changes it to ''Mario '''and''' Donkey Kong''.
* WindUpKey: On the Mini-Marios and the other toy characters.

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Fiat SpA said third-quarter profit more than tripled on higher demand for Chrysler vehicles in the U.S. and Canada.
Earnings before interest, taxes and one-time items, which Fiat calls trading profit, rose to 851 million euros ($1.21 billion) from 256 million euros a year earlier, the Turin, Italy-based carmaker said in a statement today. Profit beat the 696 million-euro average estimate of eight analysts. It's the first full quarter of Fiat results including Chrysler figures.
Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of both automakers, is counting on earnings from the Brazilian unit and Chrysler as Fiat struggles to end losses and boost sales in Europe. Fiat's European market share through September shrank to 7.2 percent from 8.1 percent a year earlier as deliveries fell 12 percent, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.
"Chrysler's performance for the remainder of this year and in 2012 will be important for the stock," Max Warburton, a London-based Sanford C. Bernstein analyst with a "market perform" rating on Fiat, said in a note to clients before the results. "The U.S market may be the best place to be in 2012."
Revenue more than doubled to 17.6 billion euros. Fiat raised its full-year earnings target, saying trading profit exceed 2.1 billion euros. The carmaker reiterated a forecast for sales of more than 58 billion euros for 2011.
Mixed Results
European automakers have been reporting mixed third-quarter results. Rival Volkswagen AG, Europe's largest carmaker, said today operating profit surged 46 percent to 2.89 billion euros on demand for Audi and VW brand sport-utility vehicles in China and the U.S. PSA Peugeot Citroen, Europe's second-largest carmaker, yesterday cut its 2011 auto profit target and said it may eliminate as many as 3,500 jobs as pricing pressure rises.
Fiat was downgraded one level by Fitch Ratings last week on concern that a combination with Chrysler will increase financial risk for the Italian carmaker. Fiat was lowered to BB, two steps below investment grade, from BB+, Fitch said. The rating company has a negative outlook on the manufacturer.
Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's lowered their ratings on Fiat earlier this year, citing concerns that the integration with Chrysler will leave Fiat responsible for the American carmaker's debt.
Marchionne, while reaffirming plans to merge Fiat and Chrysler, said Oct. 19 the combination is not a "priority" and there's no timetable set to complete the process.
Fiat is not in talks with the United Auto Workers union's retiree health-care trust, a voluntary employee beneficiary association, to buy their 41.5 stake in Chrysler, he said. Fiat expects to get to 58.5 percent by the end of the year after meeting performance targets set during the Chrysler bailout.
Chrysler's U.S. hourly workers ratified on Oct. 26 a new four-year contract, completing the United Auto Workers' negotiations with U.S. automakers. Auburn Hills, Michigan-based Chrysler agreed to add 2,100 jobs and invest $4.5 billion, according to the union's contract summary released Oct. 12.

Mark Kozelek
Presented by World Music/CRASHarts at First Church in Cambridge, Congregational
March 16, 2011
Mark Kozelek performs a very special solo concert. The iconic singer/songwriter and frontman of Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters is renowned for his intense, highly autobiographical songs. After RHP dissolved, Kozelek continued to impress critics, especially with his radical re-arrangements of rock classics by acts such as AC/DC, Kiss and The Cars. Sun Kil Moon debuted with the highly successful Ghosts of the Great Highway in 2003, which paved the way for the release of two further Sun Kil Moon albums, Tiny Cities (2005), a collection of Modest Mouse cover versions, and the self-composed April (2008). Sun Kil Moon's fourth album, Admiral Fell Promises (2010), was played entirely by Kozelek on nylon string guitar.

This was not an ordinary summer camp. It was, Pali-Pali Sikisi says, a life-changer.
Sikisi says he went to Bring It On, sponsored by the Charlotte Coalition of Social Justice, as an ordinary kid.
I didnt even want to go, he says of the summer before his freshman year in high school, but his family encouraged him to go.
But it impacted my life in a way that is still strong today.
At noon Monday, Sikisi will be part of the first graduating class at Rocky River High School in ceremonies at Bojangles Coliseum. Thanks to that 2009 camp, and another like it a year afterward, he will graduate as a campus leader.
That man has the potential to do and to be whatever he wants, says Robert Wingate, Sikisis senior English teacher. It could be business, politics ... whatever. He can get there.
It was a medical problem that brought Sikisis family to the United States when he was 2 years old. The family was able to emigrate from what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo so Sikisi could be treated for a malady that has since been cured.
The family struggled at times to adjust in the United States to learn the language, find work and cope with the cultural differences.
They came to Charlotte from New York City but moved several times. Through it all, Pali-Pali just Pali (pronounced Powly) to his friends adjusted to making new friends and adopting U.S. culture as his own. He enjoyed sports and music and he did well in school. But he was ordinary, he says.
Then came Bring It On, a camp in Banner Elk designed to nurture leadership qualities in youths.
Sikisi, now 17, says he learned a lot about the problems of racism, bullying, homophobia and gangs.
It was an eye-opener, he says. It gave me a passion to be involved.
He attended a similar camp after his sophomore year, and he was hooked. Leadership and caring for others that was his new mission in life.
Im a passionate guy, but I never cried in front of people, Sikisi says. But at that camp, I cried in front of people. I learned a lot.
Sikisi attended East Mecklenburg High his sophomore year but was part of the Rocky River High district when that school opened in August 2010. For much of the first year, Sikisi says, Rocky River was a mix of students old schools a little of Independence, a little of Butler, a little of Garinger.
But then things changed, he says. Especially at the start of my senior year, I decided things would be different.
Several students, including Sikisi, became leaders Rocky River leaders. He started a student activist group, United for the Dream, to promote social justice. He became president of the NAACP Club. A knee injury his junior year ended his football career, but Sikisi says he managed to cope.
I found a new passion, he says.
Sikisi isnt sure whats next. He is moving to Los Angeles to live with a brother and pursue a possible music career. If that doesnt work, there are other options college or perhaps the Navy.
I havent thought that far yet, says Sikisi, who plays piano and guitar and is a vocalist. Lets see what happens with the music first.
But he has a long-term goal. For his senior exit essay topic, he studied and researched the civil war that has killed a reported 8 million people in the Congo. Sikisi is fully immersed in his U.S. life, but a part of him is African, he says.
This might sound crazy, but one day Id like to be president of the Congo and bring peace to that country, he says.
His counselor at Rocky River, Rachel Brand, says Sikisi has a huge, open heart. He bleeds passion for life, for friends, to do good.
Pali-Pali is very focused, very goal-driven, says Wingate, his English teacher. He always goes above and beyond.
Sikisi sees graduation as opening the door to countless possibilities.
Just think of all the things I can do, he says. I cant wait.

Grey's Anatomy Review: One Hell of a Nightby Christina Tran at . Comments
Wow! That was an explosive Grey's Anatomy - and I don't just mean that literally.
Since the long and drawn out lawsuit/plane crash storyline, I've been waiting patiently for an episode like "Can't Fight This Feeling." I was so thrilled that Shonda and company wasted no time and totally delivered, giving viewers an intense and powerful hour we so rightfully deserved.
So, what went down and how did our favorite doctors deal with the madness caused by a gas tanker explosion?
Well, the explosion caused multiple injuries and chaos at the new and improved Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. If tonight's installment was any indication of how well the hospital would do, I think it's safe to say that GSMH is going to be just fine.
Sarah Chalke guest starred as a mother who was desperately trying to help her son. Unfortunately, that desperation made her appear a bit cray cray. Luckily, Meredith was there and willing to help the frantic mother.
While all signs pointed to a common case of strep throat, the mother was relentless and just knew that something was truly wrong with her son. It's a good thing, too, because Mer figured out that the mother was right all along and the boy actually had Kawasaki disease, a rare condition in children that involves inflammation of the blood vessels.
Meanwhile, Owen was kind of amazing with Ethan, another patient whose parents were both being treated at the hospital. It was clearly evident how amazing of a father Owen would be and that he sincerely cared for the child he just met.
Elsewhere, a mother who was admitted to the hospital begged April to ensure that her baby girl would be safe. The baby was delivered perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the mother did not survive due to later complications. I couldn't help but to tear up as well as April broke down with Jackson there to comfort her.
As I'm not a fan of these two together, I was glad that their moment was interrupted by Alex. Matthew seems to be a really good fit for April, and I've like her a whole lot more since she started dating him.
Lastly, I think it's Jo's boyfriend who's the douche. I'm so ready for Alex to make a move and get with Jo. Come on, Alex!
Other Thoughts
- I couldn't help but think Alicia Keys would be singing to the tune of "This man is on fire…" as the man in flames collapsed near the ER doors.
- Zola made a rare appearance! She's gotten so big. I can't wait to see her with her new baby brother.
- My favorite moment may have been when Meredith and Zola showed up for Bailey's genome mapping project. How could she possibly turn them away after every word that Meredith spoke?
- Is it just me or was Callie's side plot a bit out of place? There was just way too much going on, and I just wanted to see what would happen next instead of hearing about her speech.
Overall, this was a strong showing of our favorite doctors at their best. Though it may not be one that I'll remember forever, I'm always down for an installment that's full of medical drama and showcasing the gang doing what they love the most: helping their patients regardless of the circumstances.
What did you think of the latest Grey's Anatomy? How do you think Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is holding up? Be sure to chime in early next week for our Grey's Anatomy Round Table.
Solid episode as usual just too much April. What was that with Jackson? Goodness Shonda, can't April and Jackson remain just good friends? Ugh! I think I need to start psyching myself into accepting that pairing even though it irritates the living daylights out of me. I hope I don't start disliking Jackson cos of whiny heavily made-up photo shoot ready April. My only critique would be to the makeup department. Apart from Bailey, Meredith, Christina, and the new interns all other female leads looked like they were getting ready for a photo shoot. What's with the heavy make up and blown out hair in a hospital? The worst of the worst were Callie and April.
If Shonda Rhimes gives Meredith Alzheimers or does anything to her baby I'm not watching this show anymore.
I also loved Owen with the kid. It's so sad that Yang doesn't want kids, because he'd be an incredible father. I bet she'll get pregnant again along the way and reconsider. Jo's boyfriend is really a douche and it makes me root for Jo and Alex even more.
That was a great episode. I loved everything about it. Meredith was awesome with the mother and with Zola at the end. If we consider next week's propmo, it seems like Mer has tested positive for the alzheimer's gene... Love, love, love April with Jackson, they're my new Slexie. He just gets her and accepts her craziness and they have great chemistry. I too was tearing up for the mother who died. April seemed to question her faith at that moment. I feel that this patient will affect her more than we'd originally think.
Last night was show was getting back to the things you love about Grey's. Owen was great with that kid and I kept thinking it is going to cause nothing but problems for him and Christina in the future. Zola is the cutest baby ever. It was so adorable when Derrick opened that door and she was standing there with the stuff animal. I do like April and Jackson together so I was glad to see them together as friends and him being there for her during her rough moment.
The prognosis for Ethan's parents is not looking great... do you think they will "recycle" the Zola storyline and have Owen adopt Ethan? That would either bring an end to Owen & Christina or allow them to move forward as an unconventional family...
I loved this episode. I especially appreciated the Kawasaki's Disease storyline because it hit close to home. My mother went through the EXACT same thing with my brother when he was a kid. They kept turning her away and claiming nothing was wrong and even threatened to report her. When they finally considered that as a possibility that wanted to rule it out because he was one symptom short. If she hadn't persisted he would have died. So I truly appreciated that part of the episode. I loved Owen with the kid even though it made me sad for him since Yang doesn't want any. Great scene with Mer, Bailey, and Zola at the end. Callie's part didn't fit but they probably felt obligated to show her. Jo's bf didn't annoy me initially but now he sucks. I'm glad Avery and April are back to the friendship. They always had a sibling vibe to me personally.
I would like to see Heather go to Neuro, we have Derek already so I think a girl neurosurgeon would be a neat change of pace.
I just want to know what on Earth happened with those islet cells, and devices, and everything. Yes, I know that they can't make up a story-line stating that diabetes is now curable, and I wouldn't want them to, but to put that whole thing away, and to have Bailey now just happily chasing genome mapping (not that I have anything against is)is just a lack of closure. Dear writers, there are people among us who are interested in the medical story-lines too!
This was a great episode!
I loved the end when Mer went to Bailey! So great.
GSMH is running very smoothly.
I too think that April and Matthew are a better match, I also think Jason (is that his name, Jo's boyfriend) is a douche too.

When the Hiring Boss Is an Algorithm
Be careful what you ask for...you might get it (245 comments)
So, they're selecting for the best liars? The problem with any measurement of human beings is that they will absolutely try to game the system. Unless a company can keep the hiring criteria secret, they'll never actually get what they're looking for.

The SEO news is a rather niche product that makes a whole lot of sense to the people that are already involved in the industry but it might not be as clear to those that are outside the remits of the industry. A simple Google search should be able to give you all the SEO news that you need if you are looking at the issues on a superficial level. However if you need to have an in depth knowledge of the topic you might have to pay for the specialist websites that give you customized information that is tailored to suit your query. The searchengineland.com website is also a very good resource for information about the SEO market.
Nevertheless I would sound a word of warning to the people that are looking for SEO news. There are many people on the internet that give their own personal opinions and then mask it as news or real professional advice. You need to be wary of those websites because they might give you black hat SEO techniques that are very hard to get rid of once they embed onto your website. In all probability the SEO news search on Google will give out information from both genuine sources and the charlatans. It is not always the case that there are sinister motives behind the decision to check out the information. Sometimes the person is just not aware of the facts.
For a business that is operating within the confines of the online market, it is imperative that they have a grip on the latest SEO news. This information is vital for the pages to be ranked on the first page of the SERPs. Google is particularly concerned that there are some websites that never get fresh content or that they use old fashioned techniques. Nobody outside the inner circle can definitively state what the algorithm is but we all have a go in the hope that we will get to the top of the rankings.
In such a situation it is imperative that the web manager has a grasp on the latest SEO news. This is where they will pick up the techniques that will enable them to challenge the Google system in terms of the ranking. They will discard the old campaigns that are not going to bear fruit and instead concentrate on the latest efforts that are likely to bring great results for the clients. SEO is a dynamic industry that requires the users to have a firm knowledge of the latest techniques on the market. That is why the role of SEO news is very important for all people that are involved in the online market.
If you are one of those people that tend to forget the news that they have ordered then it might be a good idea to use the Google alerts system with the quotation on the latest SEO news. This will give you the opportunity to enjoy the running mill of the technical developments.

Pass Plays: Embracing the late bloomers
Updated: November 11, 2008, 2:25 PM ETBy KC Joyner | ESPN
One of the joys in perusing the waiver wire at this time of the fantasy season is the decreased amount of competition for players who are hitting their second-half strides. Had these late bloomers performed well earlier in the year, nearly every team would be making claims for their services. That doesn't happen as much after Week 10, because many fantasy GMs start to lose interest in their non-playoff contending teams.
That is good news for coaches who want to pursue the first two players in this week's Pass Plays. They are late bloomers with extremely high stretch-run/playoff-run production potential. I also have a couple of long-shot wide-receiver picks and two tight ends who might be able to help.

palazzo Year 2012 has been quite eventful. SRSG also witnessed events and evolved in terms of business verticals, technologies, people and processes."
HARWINTON, CONN. — Dealers who set up at the Harwinton Antiques & Design Weekend show always bring a good mix, with merchandise typically ranging from early Americana to vintage items to outstanding folk art. As one dealer put it, "One can find just about anything there."
This was again the case on June 8–9 for this season's debut of the show created by Jenkins Management a couple of years ago to take up the reins of its former long-running Farmington Antiques Weekend. The location changed, but the dates remained, namely, the second full weekend in June and Labor Day weekend.
Harwinton's unique facility, featuring both permanent buildings onsite along with a spacious hilltop meadow, can host up to 200 or so dealers, although for this event, the count was down substantially to about 80 exhibitors, many no doubt spooked by the dire weather warnings. Crowds, too, seemed smaller than in the past two springs, probably for the same reason. Downpours on Friday, the day before the show opened, made the grounds a bit soggy, but the event was blessed with sunshine and comfortable temperatures for its two-day run.
Those who did venture out to take in this show were in for some real treats. A great piece of American folk art was on offer by John Bourne, Pittsford, Vt., in the form of a whirligig by Joe McFall. McFall is a Southern Outsider artist whose whirligigs usually sport trademark red, white and blue propellers. In this instance, however, the propellers resembled watermelon slices complete with seeds. A two-headed figure that was both pilot and gunner turned the plane's steering mechanism and raised and lowered the gun as the vane/propellers moved, apparently targeting an approaching bogey with a fusillade of watermelon seeds.
"I've had this whirligig for quite some time," said Bourne, who returned home with the piece even though he said it attracted a lot of attention. "I was surprised but not disappointed." It was its first time out at an antiques show and Bourne mused that he might bring it out again for the upcoming Vermont Dealers Association Antiques Show.
Also getting notice in his booth were a couple of early primitive rocking horses, one of which he sold, dating from about 1880 to the 1920s. The other was English and had been repainted 60 or 70 years ago. A carved wooden bust of a Western Native American, weighing about 35 pounds and measuring about 21 inches tall, was another standout in Bourne's collection.
American folk art is also the purview of South Hadley, Mass., dealer Victor Weinblatt, whose booth bristled with early signs and striking graphics. Still writing a slip for a major sale a half hour after the show closed on Sunday, Weinblatt recorded among his sales a large circa 1920 Pennsylvania wood bridge sign that warned "Stop Pay Toll"; a long Brooklyn, N.Y., "Ice Cream" sign with a melting ice font and a flat arctic white frozen lake background in blue and white; an arched Ohio "Ride Tickets" sign with a font that soared kinetically along its striped edge and projected half-way out of the carnival's ticket booth; a "Tourists" sign from a dealer's private collection.
Also, a figural "Moose Lake" sign with a benevolent, faintly smiling beast announcing its namesake; a Maine "Candy" sign with a large dramatic white border and small, bold text in its center; a circa 1930s diner polychrome menu on paper listing sandwiches in the 10- and 15-cent range; a double-decker bus homemade toy with curved staircase and decoupage children's stories decoration; a circa 1950 Milford, Penn., polychrome shadow drop lettered "Golf" sign for a driving range; a mid-Nineteenth Century weaver's skarn; a fourth quarter Nineteenth Century musical instrument keyboard; a small painted stand and some mercury glass.
"We had a very good show, made even better by our modest overhead," said Weinblatt. "And, even more astounding, for the first time in our 34-year show career, at least half of our sales were to the under-40 demographic."
At the entrance of the fairgrounds building designed for "Cattle," the popular purveyors of Mid-century Modern and decorative antiques, Tim Brennan and David Mouilleseaux of Northfield, Conn., established their own design sensibilities, furnishing the corner space with a homey pair of upholstered armchairs, Italian art pottery, Modern lighting, a 1950s carved pine Chippendale table topped by a monumental Asian-style lamp labeled Nardini, four-drawer chest of pine, a nice, crusty old garland board in white paint, large gilt mirror and a marble topped wrought iron bracket shelf, among other items. The dealers said they did "fairly well" from the steady flow of buyers, coupled with reasonable booth rent.
A good selection of fine art by listed artists was on offer by Bill Union, the Worcester, Mass., dealer who does business as Art & Antique Gallery, specializing in Seventeenth through early Twentieth Century paintings. Among his standouts were a ship painting by Eric Sloane, an autumn landscape by William Merritt Post, a West River scene by Aldro Hibbard and a Connecticut River scene by Old Lyme, Conn., artist William Leroy Metcalf.
Jaffe & Thurston, Wawarsing, N.Y., displayed an interesting selection of jazz-scene drawings from the 1960s from a collection of 28 the dealers had initially acquired. Priced reasonably, the conté crayon works with wax finish were done by an unknown African American artist.
Kathy Tarr of the Victorian Rose, Wenham, Mass., sells all different types of porcelain, and has been doing this show a long time and has a mailing list of faithful customers. "A lot of them came and had fun adding to their collection," she said. "I sell a lot of Shelley. This is porcelain made in England from the 1860s to the 1960s. It is mostly tea-related pieces. Teacups range in price from $35 to $1,500. Teapots are rare and expensive. I was fortunate to sell two at the show.
"I also sold some unusual hand painted Limoges," she continued. "Limoges plaques are elegant paintings on porcelain. Each one is unique and many were painted by French artists who have become very well known for their work of more than 100 years past. I also sold some pieces that were painted by Esther Miler, a very well known painter in this country."
Tarr said that she enjoys doing this show. "It's easy to get in and out, which is always important from a dealer's standpoint," she said. "I noticed lots of signs along the road, which meant that management was doing all possible to direct people to the show. The majority of the dealers in our building had a good to excellent show."
Having the catbird seat in terms of Oriental rugs at the show, Tom Landers of Palisades Trading Co., observed that although attendance was down on Saturday due to the weather, it rebounded rather well on Sunday. "Our sales were down from the previous two shows, but we did sell some small rugs and booked a good number of cleaning and repair jobs. Somewhat ironically, we had two follow-up sales of midsized rugs — Bidjar and Heriz — the day after as a result of the show. Usually we discount the 'be back' customer comment, but sometimes it actually is true."
Early American kitchen antiques and tools were the focus of a display set up by Susan and David Ryan, who live locally in Harwinton. A collection of early egg beaters ranging in dates from the mid-1800s to the 1920s was augmented by a bit of furniture, antique ice skates and food choppers. Sue Ryan said, "We had a good show. Our sales covered many areas, as our booth is very diversified. We had many repeat customers who like our items. Some items we sold included an early chest, Shaker drying rack, majolica plates, game board, garden tools, a rare hanging scale, a mirror, quilt and hat racks, and many smalls — sewing, ivory, silver pencils, plumb bobs, cork screw, kitchenware and tools. There was a fairly steady flow of customers. We will return in the fall."
A mid-Twentieth Century gouache on board caused showgoers to do a double take at Mad River Antiques, North Granby, Conn. The painting illustrated a gun fight in an Old West saloon, but was done as seen through the eyes of the "bad guy," according to co-owner Lorraine German. "Reflected in the saloon's back wall mirror, you see an image of the 'bad guy' before he was outdrawn," said German of the clever trompe l'oeil. A circa 1930s-40s "Telephone" sign with original gold and blue painted surface and a multicolored geometric hooked rug, Twentieth Century, 25 by 46½ inches, were also available from the Germans, along with their usual trademark selection of early American glazed stoneware.
"Harwinton was okay for us," they said. "We sold across the board; although we had a lot of interest in stoneware, we didn't sell any. We did sell a very good ship diorama, a couple of signs, a mirror, some souvenir spoons and several other smalls. Although they didn't sell, the item in our booth that attracted the most interest was a pair of 1960s NYC subway handles from the Brooklyn line — BMT. They really brought a lot of comments and smiles to people."
Harwinton's next installment is Labor Day weekend, August 31–September 1. For information, 317-598-0012 or www.farmingtonantiquesweekend.com.

HUM 598: Drawing and the Line in Poetry and the Visual Arts
Eve Aschheim (Senior Lecturer in Visual Arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts) and Susan Stewart (Avalon Foundation University Professor in the Humanities, Professor of English).
In this course we will pursue some of the relations between perceiving, describing, and knowing in the humanities and art practice. Studying the creation and meaning of the line in visual art, poetry, and a handful of philosophical texts, we will be interested in reversible processes of representation and abstraction as we also consider the mimetic and inventive powers of ekphrasis and art writing.
Our central topics will include the origins of drawing in gestures, signs, and mark-making; the transformation of drawing into other forms, including painting, sculpture, and performance; the development of outlines and boundaries in imaginary and lived spaces; manifestations of walking and rhythm in visual and verbal art; the role of shading and shadows; the inter-play between the perspective grid, anamorphism, abstraction, and formlessness; and the connections between sketches, sketch books, fragments, erased, ruined and unfinished works.
The primary artists and writers we will turn to include Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, William Blake, William Wordsworth, Francisco Goya, John Constable, Walt Whitman, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne, Joseph Conrad, H. D., Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Willem de Kooning, Peter Greenaway, Gego, Elizabeth Murray, William Kentridge, Eva Hesse, Agnes Martin, Srikanth Reddy, Ann Hamilton, Gabriel Orozco, Paul Noble, Nasreen Mohamedi, Roman Signer, Julie Mehretu, and Cai Guo-Qiang.
Our secondary works will be texts by Pliny, Gregory Bateson, Moses Barasch, Avis Berman, Jack Flam, Yves Bonnefoy, John Hollander, Michel Serres, Julia Kristeva, James Longenbach, Junichiro Tanizaki, Victor Stoichita, Leon Battista Alberti, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hubert Damisch, Heinrich Wölfflin, William Gilpin, Michel de Certeau, Rosalind Krauss, the Quay Brothers, and others.
Students will have weekly drawing and/or poetry assignments and are encouraged to develop their own responses to our discussions and readings by experimenting with poetic and visual forms; in addition, approximately 30 pages of written work should be completed--this can take the form of weekly response papers, several shorter papers, or a long final paper or research proposal. Grades will be based on the portfolio of written and creative work and class participation. We plan to visit the Drawing Center and the Museum of Modern Art as part of the course and will also take advantage of Princeton's own collections.

When No One Else Would Invest In Barclays, Barclays May Have Just Invested In Itself ItselfBy Matt Levine
We've talked a lot about bank capital today but there's still time for one quick addendum. First, though, two rough-and-ready equations:
- Capital = cash paid in by shareholders plus retained earnings
- Capital ratio = capital divided by assets
The first equation explains my puzzlement at the claim that Deutsche Bank "book[ed] a loss to boost its capital ratio without selling shares;" it's arithmetically impossible to boost your capital by losing money, though you can (separately) boost your capital ratio by fiddling with the denominator.
The important thing about the second equation is that, for banks, the ratio is well under 1. So if your capital ratio is a relatively robust 10%, that means that 90% of your total assets are funded with borrowed money, and 10% are funded with cash from shareholders and retained earnings. Some people dislike this system.
Anyway there are various semi-magical ways to monkey with the denominator but there is one simple and obvious way to monkey with the numerator – the actual amount of capital that you have – and it is this:
- Take some money,
- dress it up in a fancy costume, and
- issue some new shares to the the now-cleverly-disguised money.
You have magically transformed Assets (money) – which, remember, are 90%+ funded with borrowed money – into Capital. This has perpetual-motion-machine properties,1 so it's pretty good.
Also it is, like, wildly wildly wildly illegal. Or, I mean, it's pretty illegal as I just outlined it above, but if you put a fancy enough costume on the money maybe that makes it okay.2 Anyway draw your own conclusions about this:
UK authorities are probing an allegation that Barclays loaned Qatar money to invest in the bank as part of its cash call at the height of the financial crisis in 2008, which enabled the bank to avoid a UK government bailout.
While the terms of Barclays' emergency fundraising have been under the scrutiny of the Financial Services Authority and the Serious Fraud Office since the summer – with a particular focus on fees paid for the deal – allegations over a loan to the Qataris is a new thread of the investigation. Two sources familiar with the situation have independently told the Financial Times of the investigation into the alleged loan
If confirmed, such an arrangement could contravene market regulations if it was not properly disclosed at the time, legal and industry experts warned. "The concept of lending money to any investor to purchase your own shares raises a series of immediate questions about disclosure and other regulatory issues," said Peter Hahn, a former banker at Citi now at Cass Business School.
My conclusion is that if that's true it's kind of amazing. (Not unheard of, but still amazing.) It makes the rest of today's bank capital gamesmanship look pretty trivial.
Barclays in Qatar loan probe [FT]
1. Because your cash comes back in the door when you get the capital investment. So you have more assets. [Not, like, for real, but in your magical perpetual-motion-machine's accounting.] So buy more capital. Etc.
2. Clearly legal examples welcome? Like one imagines regular-way ordinary-course margin loans, swaps, etc. on seasoned public stock don't raise too many eyebrows?

Why does this come as such a shock? This has been practiced by many other banks previously. For example, see here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/6c89260a-fb29-11e0-8756…
At some level of security / collateral, this must be economically sound and merely liquidity management for for investors right?
Likewise with Kaupthing Bank, and even involved a supposed Qatari investor, too.
I agree with TBU… if the loan was secured by collateral other than the Barklay's investment and that collateral wasn't of the made-up-we-say-its-collateral-but-its-not-really-collateral genre, then I'm not sure this is a big deal. The prime brokerage units of large banks provide leverage to hedge funds for equity investing all the time…
Likewise with Anglo-Irish lending to Sean Quinn et al.

Film Review: The Bay (2012)
SYNOPSIS: Chaos breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs. REVIEW: Admittedly, when I first heard about a found footage style horror film being directed by the guy who gave us Rain Man, Good Morning Vietnam, and Toys I was a tad skeptical.

Kim Kardashian's airport outfits usually consist of 6-inch stiletto heels, stiff peplum tops, and leather pants so tight that if you look at them for too long you can get a sympathy yeast infection. She's stuck to this formula even as her pregnancy has progressed, and she always looks so profoundly uncomfortable (and even a little sad?), tottering between terminals in spike heels. But today is a new day, my friends. Kim Kardashian wore this cute, comfy, breathable outfit to the airport. Leggings! A soft chambray shirt! Flat sandals! Is this proof that hell has frozen over? Maybe, but I don't even care. She looks great. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

After revelations that the National Security Agency monitored Americans' phone and Internet use, and that the NSA also spied on close allies like Germany and France, it probably shouldn't be surprising that our intelligence agencies have found another frontier to violate. But it appears our government is spying on itself.
That's what Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, alleged Tuesday in an explosive speech on the Senate floor. Feinstein is chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, which in 2012 completed a three-year probe into CIA interrogation techniques during the Bush administration. Her committee's 6,300-page report, which is still classified, contains details about interrogations that she says were far more harsh than the CIA has previously revealed to Congress.
Feinstein says the CIA has twice interfered with the probe by hacking into Senate computers. The first came in 2010, when the CIA breached a computer network it had set up for the committee so that it could access the more than 6 million pages of documents the agency provided for the investigation. The CIA tried to remove at least one of those documents, the "Panetta Review," which corroborated what her committee was discovering about CIA interrogations.
As recently as this January, Feinstein says, the CIA was at it again, breaking into a network drive that contained the committee's work and communications. "I have asked for an apology," said Feinstein. Instead, CIA director John Brennan denied the accusations Tuesday, and the agency has gone so far as to accuse the Senate committee of hacking the CIA's computers and illegally obtaining the Panetta Review. Feinstein says the review was part of the trove of documents that came from the CIA, and that the agency is trying to intimidate the committee.
A reminder of who's doing the accusing here: Feinstein is a Democrat and supporter of Barack Obama and intelligence agencies, not an administration opponent fishing for scandal. She's also defended the National Security Agency's surveillance of Americans' phone and Internet metadata, and while we wish she had been similarly troubled with that spying, she's right when she said Tuesday that the CIA's Senate hacking may have violated the Fourth Amendment, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and an executive order forbidding the CIA from domestic surveillance.
All of which now is in the hands of the Justice Department. But the president shouldn't wait idly for that investigation to proceed. He should declassify the Senate committee's report, as well as the Panetta Review, so that Americans can learn what the CIA may have done in its post-9/11 interrogation of terrorist suspects.
Obama also needs to answer another Feinstein charge – that the CIA has stated that its removal of documents from Senate computers "was ordered by the White House." The White House has denied that, but the president should more fully explain what his administration knew.
Already, Obama has responded too slowly and too tepidly to the NSA surveillance revelations, and his outrage about an overzealous IRS has settled into something closer to indifference. Now the CIA is the latest agency that seems to have problems understanding its constitutional limitations, and this time, an administration ally is pointing the finger. Will the president finally get the message?

HOUSTON -- Noble Energy has reached an agreement with BP Exploration & Production to acquire 50% of BP' s interest in 17 deepwater exploration leases in the Gulf of Mexico. Each of the leases resides in the Atwater Valley protraction area, with Noble Energy acquiring a 50% working interest in 13 leases and an average 26% working interest in four leases.
As part of the transaction, Noble Energy is participating with a 50% working interest in the Bright prospect, which is currently drilling on Atwater Valley Block 362 in a water depth of approximately 5,600 ft. The initial well, targeting multiple Upper and Middle Miocene reservoirs, is anticipated to be drilled to a total depth of 13,500 ft. The company' s total estimated gross unrisked resource range (P75 - P25) for the Bright prospect is 90 to 350 MMboe. In addition to the Bright prospect, there are multiple follow-on exploration opportunities that have been identified on these newly acquired leases.
Susan M. Cunningham, Senior Vice President, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Frontier, said, "The deepwater Gulf of Mexico is one of Noble Energy' s core areas and today we have expanded our opportunity set there through the successful capture of a number of attractive and sizeable prospects. We have multiple opportunities for substantial hydrocarbon discovery in the near-term, with the Katmai prospect results expected by our second quarter earnings call and the Bright prospect anticipated to be at total depth by the end of the third quarter. In addition to our exploration programs, we are also currently drilling a second well at Dantzler as we progress multiple major projects toward first production."

Didn't mention this earlier in the week because, well, I thought it was on the DL ... and sometimes a secret show is better because, you know, it's a secret.
But this cat was let out of its bag days ago on Absolute Punk, so what's the point of keeping quiet now?
Just as the original Bamboozle weekend in Jersey is kick-started Friday night with a club gig (dubbed, what else, the Hoodwink), so will the second annual Bamboozle Left, April 4-5 on the festival grounds at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, get its own small-scale Hoodwink lead-in, April 3 at House of Blues Anaheim.
The hook of Hoodwink is that each band plays someone else's stuff. Thus, the first Left Coast Hoodwink will feature We the Kings tackling Jimmy Eat World ... Forever the Sickest Kids covering Avril Lavigne (really, why?) ... the Cab taking on Queen (yeah, good luck with that) ... Never Shout Never attempting the Beatles (ditto, although I think they'll be easier than Queen) ... Mercy Mercedes redoing Midtown (there, that's manageable) ... and Brokencyde performing a Crunk'd set.
Cool concept. But why do I think the results could be atrocious and unlistenable?
More match-ups are expected soon. Show time is 6 p.m. Tickets, $20, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.

Using Wordpress as a CMS
For smaller organizations that are perhaps less web-savy or don't have the time/resources to devote to web site maintenance, I highly recommend using WordPress as a Content Management System. There are numerous developers creating WP "themes" that allow you to use Wordpress for non-blog websites. We did this with a magazine I was working on, see www.amagazine.org for the results.
To get the best results, search the web for a theme that fits your organization. Many are free, some have reasonable fees (which generally include trouble shooting help, should you hit a snag). I should mention that this option still requires you to buy a domain and use a hosting service, but those costs are relatively small.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions on how this works!
great job with
great job with amagazine!
i've been using drupal (http://drupal.org/) for a while, but didn't like it much, and now joomla (http://www.joomla.org/) grew on me... but i wanna have experience with wordpress also. 'The Unstandard' Wordpress theme is just kind of look i was looking for :) Thanx for your post.
Hi Tracey,
Thanks for tip on Wordpress... I agree that it's a great system for both blogging and website creation/design. I looked at your website amagazine.org and am impressed by not only it's look and feel, but it's content. Great work!
