It Ain't Easy Being a (Drunken) Supermodel
by Mike Stanz

Chrissy Teigen,
Sports Illustrated
's Swimsuit Edition Cover Model for 2014, was invited to throw out the first pitch at Tuesday's Los Angeles Dodgers game.
And apparently, she was pretty drunk. At least, that's what she tweeted just before tossing the old horsehide.
Crap I'm pretty drunk
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen)
August 5, 2014
Story has it that she was drinking margaritas with her dad, and was feeling the effects.
But her pitch was pretty darn good – little low, little on the outside, but it made it to the plate.
There is no truth to the rumor that the Dodger pitching staff will be switching their Gatorade for margaritas, however.

My only regret is that we don't get BSB in Sunny South Africa.
Still like to dream that this is Muir's first step towards stepping up to WSBK next year... Ah, nice dream at least. (Think it's the only way we'd see Nori there again.)
How long until Nori Junior is on the International scene?

U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper accompanied Central Intelligence Agency chief David Petraeus on a visit to Turkey last week, according to Star newspaper.
Turkey is requesting use of a surveillance system under Clapper's direction to help track down and capture more than 120 leaders of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, in the Qandil Mountains of northern Iraq, the newspaper reported without saying how it got the information.
The visit was Clapper's second to Turkey in five months, Star said.

Mortgage Credit Too Tight: Bernanke
Importantly, "restrictive mortgage lending conditions do not seem to be linked to any insufficiency of bank capital or to a general unwillingness to lend," he said.
The Chairman said policymakers had taken steps to ease mortgage credit. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of the GSEs, recently announced new rules that will provide mortgage lenders greater clarity about the conditions under which they will be required to buy back defaulted mortgages from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or otherwise address origination problems.
He made no mention of the qualified mortgage rules, which are still being written by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The industry has claimed that lack of clarity on what constitutes a qualified mortgage has been an impediment to lending.
Bernanke also said the Federal Reserve will continue to do whatever it can to support the housing recovery but borrowers need to take some responsibility for their home purchase decisions." One lesson of the past few years is that the desire to own a home is not enough. Although many foreclosures resulted from job loss or other economic hardships, others occurred because people bought more of a house than they could afford, took out a loan that was not appropriate to their circumstances, or did not manage their resources well. Future homeownership must be built on a more solid foundation. And while much of the responsibility for building that foundation must lie with lenders and with regulators, consumers must do their part as well by acquiring the information and financial knowledge they need to make sound decisions. " The Chairman emphasized financial education and said community organizations such as Operation Hope could be of great help to homebuyers in providing counseling services. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

Andrew Goodman | July 30, 2010 | Comments
The biggest sin in the marketplace isn't asking questions and digging up data from people; it's not asking, not digging, and getting it wrong.
Can an advertising campaign be an asset?
I don't mean asset as in "Say, Biff, you're a real asset to Norelco. Another quarterly sales increase, and thanks for taking care of my dog in July!"
I recently stumbled on this idea posed as an accounting question in places like Harvard Business School (with thanks to Philip D. Broughton, What They Teach You at Harvard Business School: My Two Years Inside the Cauldron of Capitalism). Could a medical company list its late-night infomercial campaign on its books as an asset, because it had data about the predictable response attributable to the campaign - based on tailored 800 numbers? You would have to treat regular TV ads as an expense. But in the Harvard Business School case, some interpreters of tax laws believed that "where the revenue from an ad was measurable, you could treat it as an asset and depreciate it over time."
Imagine that!
I have no comment on tax laws or accounting strategies, of course. But as a thought exercise in examining the (even metaphorical) assets a company invests in so that it can get wind under its wings, this is an immensely useful concept.
If an infomercial campaign could be treated as an asset, what about a keyword search campaign where the predicted cost per acquisition and response behavior is spread across thousands of keywords and hundreds of ads, with statistical confidence in the outcomes increasing over time? It's not a stretch to suggest that the keyword-driven digital ad campaign is not only an asset, but a response engine that is much more versatile and diversified, and often more reliable than a simple infomercial campaign.
Super Crunchers vs. Superstitious Bystanders
There's nothing particularly new about direct marketing intelligence or "database marketing." Even the 1.0 version of this has been a carefully guarded secret for companies you may have received a lot of postal mail from over the years. In today's "Super Crunchers" era, data miners bring increasing levels of sophistication to the task. They use data to hone existing campaigns, but also to put feelers out for emerging or latent customer demands.
And it doesn't begin and end with searches performed on major search engines like Google. If an online retailer is large enough (think Amazon), imagine what trends you could tap into just by looking at their site search query data.
Marketing intelligence can be laborious if you bring old-school instincts to the task. You can spend years in focus groups, or hanging out in nightclubs trying to assess what style of boots or what kinds of makeup the cool kids are wearing. And yet search marketers understand that a great deal of that information is available to us in seconds in the form of search queries - what John Battelle famously called "the database of intentions."
Consumers never launched a full-scale revolt against the old market research methods, and they won't launch one against the new, either. The biggest sin in the marketplace is not asking the questions or digging up the data from people marginally willing to part with it; it's not asking, not digging, and getting it wrong. Customers hate you most when you flog the wrong stuff to them.
Today, some of the world's richest businesses are so info-driven that their actual lines of business seem almost secondary to their data optimization approaches. Seth Godin rightly notices that "Zara is an information business that happens to sell clothes." That resonates powerfully in our world. All search marketing clients are potential Zaras. An information business that happens to sell flowers. An information business that happens to sell travel, banking, candy. You get the idea. And search marketing professionals get to watch, and participate. We understand the power of that data. We build long-lasting, highly granular advertising assets for visionary companies willing to invest in them.
Get a Head Start, or Don't Win
If you're into Web analytics, one thing you'll notice is that aggressive customer acquisition through online direct response gets you a major lift in (free) direct navigation and organic search brand queries. Those benefits don't start to really kick in until you've been investing in this for three to four years. But they do come eventually. One thing is for certain: if you play it too cautiously in the first couple of years, down the road, you won't enjoy any pleasant upside surprises. You don't reap what you don't sow.
Über-riches await those at the top of the information heap, those who survey the whole landscape like they're living in an Alan Parsons Project song. Godin notes that "what's now" is companies who have "information about information" - "it's what Facebook and Google and Bloomberg do for a living." You can't be them, but you can care about building your own information asset.
Granular response data offers an incredible head start - Godin again - to those who own it and understand how to use it. Head starts make fortunes. Think about the stock market. It's illegal to trade on insider information about a takeover or disappointing assay results. You'd get too rich trading on the options with information others didn't have fair access to. Even the watered-down (legal) version of "an information edge" drives billions of dollars in securities research every year.
A paid search campaign builds statistical confidence over time. If your investment in discovering what works turns up a factoid about the expected return on the search phrase "turnip juice stain," you can project future returns with some degree of confidence. Spread that knowledge across many other specific data points, get a two-year lead on competitors, and the gap may never close.
If your funnel is highly functional, then the lead compounds into market share dominance and you begin lapping your competitors.
In light of that, what are companies doing to build, nurture, and recognize the asset that is paid search? What should they be doing? Are they doing it?
I'll examine this in the next column.

ESPN Commentator Jay Mariotti Arrested
FanHouse.com columnist Jay Mariotti, who also appears regularly on ESPN's "Around the Horn," was arrested Saturday for suspicion of "felony domestic assault."
The Los Angeles Times' Andrew Blankstein and Garrett Therolf have the details:
LAPD sources said that Mariotti allegedly got into an argument with his girlfriend at a club in Santa Monica and that they were observed exchanging harsh words before leaving in a car. Mariotti became angry after he suspected his girlfriend of flirting with another man, police sources said.
The argument continued at the couple's Venice-area apartment, where Mariotti allegedly pushed and shoved the woman. During the altercation, Mariotti grabbed her arm, leaving marks, the sources said.
Ed Sherman from Crain's Chicago Business has more information from the ESPN angle of the story:

We were pleased with some surprising results from our Fall iGavel online auction that recently closed. Ordinarily, our appraisals are based on the current market and, unfortunately, due to the Recession over the past few years, values of some items have fallen. However, our October auction inspired bids beyond our more conservative estimates. This could be a great sign that our economy is, indeed, improving. Check out my video in which I explain some details about values and sales in our Fall online action!

in American Old West Antiques and now, with Witherell's owning this popular annual
show, looks forward to making the event even more robust and exciting than ever.
Read More About Old West Show
From the Antiques Roadshow on PBS to antique
appraisals in Sacramento, San Francisco and beyond, Witherell's is one of the nation's
most highly regarded family-owned firms. Brad Witherell founded the business in
the 1960s with Old West antique auctions in Bay Area communities and was naturally
followed by his son, Brian. Together, the father-son team has built an international
reputation that benefits clients searching for antique appraisals in Sacramento,
San Francisco, Redding, the Central Valley and coastal communities.
Through the use of technology, Witherell's antique appraisers in Sacramento are
linked to the world of experts thousands of miles away to provide estimates of potential
worth for customers considering online antique auctions that reach global buyers.
For example, Brian Witherell is an accomplished Sacramento antique appraiser of
art, furniture, china and Old West antiques. In the 'business' Brian is considered
a foremost Generalist Antique Appraiser. A Sacramento client may anticipate Brian
using his iPad, cell phone and vast network of contacts to establish the approximate
value of an item using an expert in New York who specializes in a specific niche.
As an antiques appraiser in Sacramento, Brian is able to provide almost instant
information, on-the-spot estimates and even authentication of items intended for
online antique estate auctions.
Sacramento clients are frequently surprised to learn that a family treasure has
significant value as an item for an online antique auction from Sacramento that
reaches buyers worldwide. Brian Witherell has many exciting stories about items
found in closets, barns, basements and under beds that brought customers healthy
returns in an online estate auction from Sacramento to worldwide buyers. Make sure
to sign up for his BLOG
highlighting fabulous finds of Sacramento antiques and beyond. These fun stories
happen when Brian and his dad travel to homes in Northern California and San Francisco
to appraise antiques for auction and uncover surprising treasures.
Sacramento is home to Witherell's family business. Brian and his dad, Brad, keep
overhead low, leverage the power of technology and enjoy their reputation as trustworthy
and experienced antique appraisers for Bay Area and Sacramento clients seeking quality
online antique estate auctions. Sacramento's Witherell team also works with private
clients wanting confidential sales and appraisal of antiques. Sacramento clients
might learn of the Witherell family's expertise from the popular PBS program, The
Antiques Roadshow where they've been guest antique appraisers, or through referrals
from satisfied clients from their years as antique appraisers in Sacramento, San
Francisco and Northern California. According to Brian, trust, integrity and experience
are the qualities embodied in Witherell's business model.
"My dad and I spend our lives immersed in the world of antique appraisals and estate
auctions. Sacramento clients are our friends and neighbors and we travel to the
Bay Area, up north and to the Central Valley as well to help people get the most
for their treasured collectibles and antiques. We understand both the monetary and
emotional value of items entrusted to us in an antique estate auction. The Sacramento
region is rich in history and we love being part of it."
Witherell's is strategically located to personally provide antiques appraisals to
Bay Area and Northern California customers within driving distance of Sacramento
– Redding, Tahoe, San Francisco, and Fresno are part of our community of customers
for online estate auctions and personal antique appraisals. Sacramento may be home
but our neighborhood is extensive. Call us or CONTACT US
so that we can provide you with trusted service.

Ring girl
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (June 2009)
|This article possibly contains original research. (April 2014)
A ring girl is the common name for a woman who enters the ring between rounds of a combat sport event such as boxing, kickboxing, or mixed martial arts, carrying a sign that displays the number of the upcoming round. Ring card girls are known to attract men to the sport by using their sexual appeal. This is a very common tactic used by boxing promoters.
Ring girls frequently wear tight, skimpy clothing (such as bikinis or shorts) and high heels; however, some ring girls wear evening gowns. In some female boxing matches, ring girls are replaced by ring men dressed in tuxedos.
Professional wrestling[edit]
In professional wrestling, ring girls are attendants who remove the entrance gear (such as jackets, robes, and other clothing) and championship belts from the ring after a wrestler takes them off before his match. Throughout the 1980s, World Wrestling Entertainment employed ring girls known as the Federettes. Since its inception in 2002, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has featured various independent female wrestlers and valets as ring girls.
During the first year of WWF Monday Night Raw, WWE featured traditional boxing-style ring girls who carried signs featuring various Raw-themed slogans in the ring between matches.

I'm a single mom to my 10 y.o. DD. We've been going to WDW at least once a year since 2006. We just went in May and upgraded our tix to APs since we are also planning a trip in Oct. to meet old friends of mine. I'm not sure this AP thing was a good idea as I have three other short trips I'd like to take since "we already have tickets". Better plant that money tree seed in a hurry!
I've been a single mom since she was 2 1/2. It's hard at times, but I have wonderful family and friends who are always there for support.
To the OP, best of luck on earning your college degree! I just completed mine (graduation was Sunday, woo hoo!). It was tough for both DD and me, but it had to be done. I know all the hard work will pay off. And of course when you are done, celebrate with a trip to Disney!

Hi - another single mom here to a son. He will be 5 in September. I have been a single mom since he was 18 months old. Thankfully, my ex-husband signed over Sole Custody to me during the divorce so we are free to travel.
We did our first trip to Disneyland 2 years ago (June 2008) - alone - I originally was going with one of my best friends and her son but she ended having a difficult pregnancy with her daughter so had to cancel at the last minute. So my son and I went by ourselves - what an amazing time, it was the first time that I was not the sole focus of my son's attention and I could just enjoy hanging out with him and having fun - it was such a great deal because his Disney tickets were free because he was under 3 and his flight was free as Alaska Air had a kids fly free promotion on. Total trip cost was $1,200.
For his 3rd birthday (Sept 2008), we invited my mom to join us at Disneyworld which we stayed at a timeshare and it was so much fun. This trip was more expensive because I paid for my mom - it cost about $1,700.
Then in February 2009, Alaska Air had the kids fly free promotion on again so we took advantage and went back to California. This trip was $1,300.
In July 2008, I had been randomly looking at timeshare resales and I came across one for Grand Beach Resort - 3 bed, 3 bath for $500 for every 2nd year use. So I bought the timeshare from a wonderful woman and was able to book and invite my brother and his family to join us in August 2009 - we were able to get our Disney tickets through a rewards program and found a great deal on flights. It was a wonderful vacation and so awesome to be the little sister and a single mom and be able to invite my big brother and his family along. For them - having the accomodation covered meant they could do the trip. It was a great vacation and so much fun. This trip cost $1,200.
Then this past April 2010, I used my timeshare to book a 3 bed/3 bath condo in Kissimee so I invited another single mom from work to join me. Her daughter and my son got along so good and we had an awesome vacation. My friends ex had taken their daughter to Disneyland the year before so it was nice for her to have a trip that was so affordable and be able to take her daughter to the World. This trip cost $1,350.
We are heading back to Disney this November 2010 with my mom again. We are treating mom again but I got our flights for $345 each - I expect this trip to cost $1,600.
I am very fortunate to have a good paying job so even though my ex does not pay child support very often or much - we are okay and doing well. He is supposed to pay $300 per month - he gave me $50 in September 2009 and $100 this past week. He owes over $9,000 in back child support. The last couple of months, he has been wanting to spend more time with my son and be a good dad to him. I am glad for this because my son loves his daddy. He actually shocked me this past Saturday because he called and said that he had a little bit of money to give for our son because he realizes that he has a responsibility to provide for Dom.
I have to say that it does feel really good as a single mom to be able to take my son to Disney. Disney is a vacation for me because I can just hang out and have so much fun with my son. It will be funny when my son is in school and comes to realize that not every kid has been to Disney, let alone how many trips he has been. I don't think that very many people realize how truly affordable Disney can be and how great of family time it truly is.
I look forward to hearing other single parent stories and what their Disney experience is.

luvmy2babies - your post brought back memories. My dad passed away when I was 8 years old. I can't imagine losing a spouse with a baby. Great big hugs adn kudos to you!
Adaygaby and amtag - we are just missing your trips. We leave for WDW on 9/2.
Pixie Princess - Thank you! Going back to school has done wonders for my ego. Of course, I will celebrate with a Disney vacation. I couldn't think of any other place better.
Amtag - Ocala brings back some memories. My first real boyfriend was from there. Knee deep in Florida horse country!
Jennyf2 - you might get a better deal in mid-August. Value season and free dining kicks in.
Singleminnie - I completely understand wondering how I made it too. Having a great support group is awesome.
It'sWDW4me - I bet your son thinks it's cool that his uncle is 5 months older than him. Love it!
One thing that I found difficult for me to accept was that I needed/deserved time to myself. Really, that was huge. Once I finally realized that this, my world changed for the better. Emotions & self-worth went through the roof.
Forgive me if I missed welcoming anybody! I think it is great that we found each other.

Kat&Dom - you snuck in on me! Welcome. Sounds like you had some great deals! I would love to visit Disneyland, but WDW is so much closer for us. Not to mention that we have great non-stop airfares to Orlando.

My girls are gone to stay with my parents in MO on the farm until July 1st. They left this past Sunday. I love them to pieces, but I can def. say it is nice to get to work early, out early and come home to watch the news and put my feet up without someone saying they are hungry or needing to run someone to a friend's house! Although my boyfriend has his kids this week, we are going on a date tomorrow night to see a movie. I used to feel guilty liking my time alone, my friends have told me that I have a right to enjoy it. By the time they get home (then they are off to their Dad's for 12 days) I will be missing them! Ready to be "fun Mom" again.
Proud mother of three DDs.
We just spent our first WDW Vacation together Oct. 2010!

Thanks for starting this thread!
I'm a mom of a 8 year old DD and a 4 year old (this week!) DS. I've been single since I was pregnant with my second. Not so much as a date. I am planning my first trip to Disneyland this fall with some family (my mom said she'd take each grandkid when they turn 8) But next year, will be the big one where I take both my kids to Disney World. I'm so excited for it!

Hi Everyone!! I am the single mom of 2 dd's. We are making our 3rd trip to WDW in Aug. My friends have told me that I'm brave to take my dd's by myself. I don't feel that way at all, we have a great time when we go.
I have been a single mom for 5yrs since my ex left me for a girl 10yrs younger than me(ouch!) He sees the girls a few times a week but does not really pay any kind of support to speak of.
I don't have any family except for my dd's. Everyone has passed away.
I have been on a few dating sites, and did have a long-term boyfriend for a while but it just didn't work out. I have dated a lot of guys but I don't think it's the right time for me right now.
I'm so glad I found this thread.

I hope I'm welcome here, I was a single mom for 5 years (boyfriend split once I told him I was pregnant) and then almost 2 years ago I bit the bullet and got married. Always said I'd never do it, but I did. I hate to say but I find being married harder than being a single mom...lol I met my husband, got engaged 7 weeks later, got pregnant 2 months after that and then was married and had DD all in a total of 12 months. It was a huge life adjustment for DD6 and myself. We moved, she got a step dad and a sister all in a few months. She is such a great kid though and while she had some trouble at first she quickly got over it when her sister arrived. She is so in love with her and visa versa!
I've been taking DD6 to Disney by myself since she was 7 months old and I've had no problems. My husband came once for DD's 4th birthday and he hated it. He doesn't like the heat, crowds, traveling or waiting for anything. It was just an awful, awful trip....never again. When DD1 arrived, he thought I'd stop traveling because I couldn't possibly handle two kids. That was what he thought, but I knew differently. I took both DD's when they were 15 months and 6 (turned 6 while there). It was not super easy to get kids and luggage into airport, but once we got there it was just fine. With both kids I've used a hip hammock to carry them around the parks (with DD6 I did it from 7 months to 2.5 years) when it's close to nap time or they looked tired so that they could sleep and rides could still be done without interrupting the nap and it's worked perfectly. I also put her in the hammock at the end of the night so that if she falls asleep either before we leave the park or while waiting for the bus I don't have to wake her up by taking her out of the stroller to get on the bus. Again it's worked like a charm so far. DD1 is not a good sleeper but she didn't wake up even when I'd get to the room and change her diaper and put her in the crib. I am now planning trip number 2 with my DD's and we'll be leaving in 2 months and 1 day. I'm so excited as DD1 is now really into the Disney characters and loves Mickey, Pooh, Tigger and Toy Story characters especially Woody. I'm thinking of being a little more crazy and see if my dad will let me take my DB who is 8. My DB8 and DD6 get along really good and I think they would have a blast on the rides together plus DB8 has never been as my dad has no desire to go. DSM still hasn't been able to convince him. I take my kids everywhere, camping, movies, out to eat, zoo, park, etc by myself and usually try to bring my DB8 as my dad and DSM are older and don't really do those kinds of things so I know he'd be fine and listens really well to me.
So for all you single moms/dads don't worry about taking them yourself, just relax and go with the flow and it'll be a wonderful memory making experience!!!

Househappy.org® Announces Launch Of Photo-Driven Real Estate Platform: Search And Post Property For Sale Around The World - For Free
PORTLAND, Ore., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Househappy.org announced the official launch of its new photo-driven real estate platform for buyers, sellers, and brokers to search and post property for sale around the world––for free. Househappy is a user-generated search engine with the mission to simplify property search and make information accessible to everyone.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121017/SF94598LOGO)
Househappy was founded by Kevin McCloskey, a licensed real estate broker in California, Oregon, and Washington, with over 25 years of industry experience. "I created Househappy and tailored the user experience based on years of feedback from buyers and sellers, as well as my experience as a broker," McCloskey said. "Existing real estate sites limit visual search, are crowded with too many charts and graphs, and seem to hinder communication rather than encourage it. We want to minimize the unnecessary visual noise to simplify property search."
Househappy's clean, minimalist design includes scrolling pages of high-quality thumbnail images and user-friendly search filters to make it easier and faster for people to find what they're looking for. Buyers can search for properties that fit their particular requirements (including location, price, financing options, seller concessions, property features, community attractions, and more) and browse by images, not text. Providing user-generated content ensures that all posts contain the most accurate and up-to-date information.In addition to simplifying search, Househappy is a community platform. Brokers and FSBOs (for sale by owners) can create detailed posts for any property type or sale type, and use their personal profile to directly connect with prospective buyers. Househappy profiles include direct contact information, links to social media, and the ability to track properties you have liked and/or connect with users who have liked your posts. Househappy is optimized for desktop, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices to make it easy to use on-the-go.

Maize futures slip on US pricesComment on this story
South African maize futures finished lower on Tuesday in line with lower US grain prices due to slackening demand.
As the largest producer and exporter of soft commodities' the US is the main contributor in deciding world price trends.
The white maize contract for March 2013 delivery fell R15 to R2'164 per ton and the white maize contract for July 2013 dropped by R14 to R2'022 per ton.
The yellow maize contract for March 2013 delivery declined R21 to R2'230 per ton and the July 2013 yellow maize contract shed R7 to R2'064 per ton.
The wheat contract for March 2013' however' edged up R6 to R3'470 per ton.
"The South American maize crop is still trading at the bigger discount to the US crop' making it attractive to foreign buyers'" said Rudi Swanepoel' a trader at Farmwise Grains.
The US Department of Agriculture will on Friday issue its final 2012 crop-production estimates' along with estimates of domestic grain and soybean stocks as of December 1. - I-Net Bridge

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
The late-night caravan began at Cheers, a bar just north of Coconut Grove on SW Seventeenth Avenue. Cheers usually caters to "women who prefer women," but this Saturday night the club was open to both sexes and all ages for a punk-rock showcase. Cell 63 was the featured band, a quartet of veteran local rockers playing their last show. The opening act was the debut of a trio known as the Smerffs. Lead singer and guitarist James Fullwood thrashed his skeletal frame around the stage wearing a black Ramones T-shirt and a rainbow-hued stocking cap. Bass player Lee Smalley, who used gobs of gel and hair spray to shape his foot-long mohawk into five perfect Statue of Liberty spikes, smiled at the dozens of schoolgirls in the mosh pit. Drummer Arthur Vogler, who needed glue to keep his longer mohawk elevated, pounded out a steady backbeat. The boys had begun playing songs together only a month earlier, but already rock has become the most important thing in their lives. All of them are fourteen years old.
Now, after the show, James rides in the minivan, buried under friends in the passenger seat. When he and his bandmates get to the party, they will drink from clear bottles of Olde English 800 malt liquor and from cans of Budweiser. They will hit on each other's girlfriends while they stick cocktail parasols in the tips of their mohawks. As the movie A Clockwork Orange plays on a big-screen television in the deluxe Kendall home of one of their friends, they will sit on overstuffed couches and argue about how to split up the $120 they received for the gig. Should they invest it in equipment? Should they divide it equally? Or should they just buy some more beer?
The next morning James will return to his comfortable middle-class home in South Miami. His mother will ask about the show and about the rest of his evening (he told her he was staying over at Arthur's). The next weekend he will do much the same -- tell his parents he is sleeping over at a friend's house when in fact he'll be hanging in the Grove or on the Beach. He will drink, carouse, and of course listen to music. No surprise, then, that he will get into trouble eventually.
"It's like my dream to be able to like get this band on the road and just be able to quit school and stuff. Not necessarily quit school and like never finish it, but just be able to get away from it and go on tour or something," James says. It's 2:30 p.m. and he's walking out of South Miami Senior High School. When the academic year began in late August, he was a ninth grader at Southwood Middle School, a respected orchestra magnet school where he played first chair upright bass. All his friends were in senior high, though, so he begged his mother to let him transfer. "I like South Miami better because my other school was like boot camp," he says. "I learned there in a day what I now learn in a week. And now I get to go out to lunch."
James's grades have not been what they could be. Though he's an avid reader of contemporary fiction, and though his mother describes him as a child prodigy in math, he has let his marks slip. Last year, taking all gifted-program classes, he pulled down only C's. "C's are what I get," he concedes. "A few D's and a few B's but mostly C's." His mother reminds him that in ninth grade, the report cards start to count. She says that if he is ever going to get into Julliard or Berklee like he wants, he's going to need better than a C average. James listens to her but he still can't motivate himself to study harder. "I just find it pointless," he says as he passes rows of almond-colored school lockers and pep-rally signs that say Go Cobras and Seniors Rule. "I know that whether it's playing classical bass or playing in a band, I'm gonna do music when I grow up. I don't care like what anyone says, I just am. So like everything I do in school has like nothing to do with what I am going to do in the future. And I can see it all as one big meaningless thing. It's just there to waste my time."
He is wearing a pair of tan denim jeans at least five sizes too big for him. His navy blue T-shirt with the word "CREW" across it was picked up for ten dollars at a vintage clothing store in Miami Beach. The pants billow, but the shirt fits his lean torso like a second skin, the way he likes it. He and his bandmates shaved their heads a while ago. The short, even hair that has grown back on his head is bleached white on top with the roots showing his natural black. "James is always in the lead when it comes to his hair," says his mother. "He gets a mohawk and everyone else in the school gets a mohawk. He shaves his head and so does everyone else."

Otelco Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 6.8% to $18.2 million from $19.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of services and products increased 3.2% to $10.8 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $10.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Higher costs associated with the hosted PBX product support were partially offset by reduced overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10.1% to $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily related to a non-recurring reduction in employee and benefit costs and operating taxes plus lower legal expenses, partially offset by higher uncollectible expenses associated with carrier billing and customer credits. Depreciation and amortization for second quarter 2011 decreased 22.7% to $4.5 million from $5.8 million in second quarter 2010. Amortization of intangible assets associated with the Country Road acquisition decreased $0.3 million, including contract and customer base intangible assets. The remaining decrease of $1.0 million reflects lower depreciation of plant assets in Otelco's regulated entities as assets become fully depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was constant at $6.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to a year ago. The increase in interest expense associated with the additional senior subordinated notes issued in the exchange of our Class B shares in June 2010 was offset by lower interest costs on our senior long-term notes resulting from voluntary principal prepayments of $6.5 million since second quarter 2010.Change in Fair Value of Derivatives As a requirement of the existing senior debt, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements intended to hedge changes in interest rates on its senior debt. The swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under the technical requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 815. Changes in value for the two swaps are reflected in change in the fair value of derivatives on the income statement and have no impact on cash. Over the life of the swaps, the change in value will be zero, with no impact on Adjusted EBITDA or operations. The liability for the swap decreased $0.5 million in second quarter 2011 compared to an increase in the liability for the swap of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Originally written on 5TH QUARTER MAGAZINE | Last updated 11/18/14
This is our newly weekly segment and it's all about kicks. Throwback Shoesday is inspired from Throwback Thursday, but instead we will display a pair of kicks that use to roam the streets back in the day. I suppose you could call it Throwback Tuesday, but how lame and boring is that!? Remember back in the early 2000′s when spinning rims were all the rage? Even if you drove a Ford Pinto it instantly became cool when you threw a pair of spinners on it! While the spinning rims movement was unique, we took it a little too far when tried to put them in pair of shoes. If your unfamiliar of where I'm going with this, let me introduce you to the Dada Supreme Spree's . This shoe was created when a footwear company named Dada Supreme partnered up Latrell Sprewell. Sprewell was an NBA player that just so happened to have his own company that produced rims, so the collaboration made sense. Unfortunately Dada would shutdown and Sprewell would retire after turning down a $21 million deal and saying "I've got a family to feed". Think what you may, but the Spree's were actually pretty popular shoe around the urban community back in the day. Although in today's society these shoes serve as nothing more than a good laugh. Check back this time next week for our latest installment of Throwback Shoesday!

Hi Torbenh.
Thanks for your reply.
About the "problem" and the "contact", as I wrote - 'I heard' - I found a
post (on the Renoise forum) when one user thanked 'for bringing issue to
Jack devs' and in previously one, other user mentioned 'Paul Davis' as
great developer and suggested contact him, so this is what I understand -
but I have not seen such statement (about contact) from Renoise developers
- just for clarifying,
However, the problem exists during triggering first note in some jack
configuration. I have been affected by this issue weeks ago... I saw also
threads with problems with Hydrogen in specific slave mode...

Celebrated Spanish cookbook author Penelope Casas, 70, who grew up in Whitestone, died on Aug. 11 on Long Island from complications of leukemia.
The daughter of Greek immigrants, Casas first learned of Spanish culture while studying ninth-grade Spanish at the Garden School in Jackson Heights. She later studied Spanish literature at Vassar College.
She met her future husband, Luis Casas, as an exchange student while studying in Madrid for a semester. His mother hosted her in the family home.
Casas went on to write seven definitive cookbooks on Spanish cuisine, including "Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain" and "La Cocina de Mama: The Regional Cooking of Spain."
The Spanish government awarded her the National Gastronomy Prize in 1983. Her final book, "1,000 Spanish Recipes," was finished shortly before her death. It will be published next year.
Besides her husband, a urologist who collaborated on many of her books, Casas is survived by her daughter, Elisa, and a granddaughter.

The 2014 AP U.S. History Summer Institute at Davidson will focus on developing strategies to facilitate student success in the newly revised AP U.S. History course and exam. While many of those strategies remain the same as in previous years, particular emphasis will be placed on mastering the seven new themes around which the course is built, intense examination of the historical thinking skills emphasized in the redesign, and a thorough study of the curricular framework as an outline for the redesigned course.
Significant changes in the structure and scoring of redesigned essays and DBQs necessitate a new mindset on the part of AP U.S. History teachers and, to some degree, a discarding of traditional ways of looking at the DBQ and free response sections of the exam. As well, significant changes to the multiple choice section will be examined in depth as the redesigned exam moves to stimulus based questions. Please come with an open mind, willing to share ideas, and make use of different instructional strategies.

Tuesday's Tech Winners & Losers
Shares of Onyx Software (ONXS) were among technology's winners Tuesday, jumping 13% after the software company agreed to be acquired by privately held M2M Holdings for $92 million in cash.
The deal value prices Onyx at $4.80 a share, representing a premium of 15% over Monday's closing price of $4.17. The deal is expected to close during the third quarter. "We believe that this transaction is the right decision for Onyx shareholders, customers, partners and employees," Onyx said. "Upon closing, this transaction will provide liquidity to shareholders and a premium to our recent trading prices." Once the deal closes, Onyx will operate as a separate business unit of Made2Manage Systems, M2M Holdings' primary asset. Shares of Onyx Software were trading up 54 cents to $4.71.
Spansion (SPSN) slid 10% after the company said its operating company subsidiary plans to sell $240 million in senior subordinated debentures due 2016. The company also plans to grant underwriters an option to buy an additional $35 million of debentures to cover over-allotments. Spansion said that its subsidiary plans to use proceeds from the offering to repay debt, for working capital and for general corporate purposes. Shares of the flash-memory company were recently trading down $1.62 to $15.14.
Shares of International Rectifier (IRF) fell 5% after the chipmaker said it would sell some $650 million in convertible subordinated notes due 2013. The company will also grant initial purchasers an option to buy an additional $100 million in notes within 13 days of the initial issuance of the notes. International Rectifier plans to use part of the proceeds from the offering to fund convertible-note hedge transactions, which are aimed at reducing potential dilution from the conversion of notes. The company also plans to use proceeds to fund its general corporate needs. Shares were trading down $2.01 to $41.45.

Alphas Review: An Average Series Premiereby Nick McHatton at . Comments
Everything Alphas brought to the table has been done before.
A band of special individuals coming together, while fighting a group of evil superheroes? Sounds like X-Men. The use of these abilities to solve crimes? Hello, Heroes.
I suppose the X-Men tilt is to be expected because Alphas is from X-Men: The Last Stand writer, Zak Penn.
For the most part, the "pilot" was middling, but there was just enough from the characters to at least warrant sticking around for a few more episodes. Because if certain flaws can be corrected, SyFy has the potential for another hit.
Let's start with the characters. The best among them is easily David Strathairn's Dr. Lee Rosen, the leader of the group. He juggles the intricacies of babysitting and work as a therapist with leading and getting results from his Alphas.
I hope some of Rosen's home life will begin seeping into his work life. Watching him interact with Don offered bits of comedy that were lacking throughout the rest of the episode. It's something I hope can be translated into a better working chemistry for the Alphas.
Bill Harken as the strength-enhanced leader of the group? He felt mostly like the jock who just does what he wants. His chemistry with the team was lacking. That's what happens when you're more concerned with eating their food and ordering everyone around.
Gary's power of reading wireless transmissions is a pretty cool. I hope to see more of it.
Nina and Rachel are easily a couple of my favorites of the team and probably have the best powers of all. Nina's ability to influence people is awesome, if only because it's basically a Jedi Mind Trick, while without Rachel's senses, the procedural elements wouldn't work.
Finally, Cameron has the most potential. Consider the troubled past, a problem following orders and the impressive talent of possessing a mind and body in perfect harmony.
The average parts of the premiere were the story and overall mythology. Not much happened. I understand the need to take your time and introduce the characters and their interactions, but the interactions they had when they weren't crime solving were mostly boring.
Granted, the case was fun, but I lost any interest as to why the villain was controlling them.
Overall, if Alphas can improve upon some of its core storytelling themes, it has definite potential. The cases need to be smoothed out and connected to the overall mythology in a more cohesive manner. The characters need to find a better rhythm for those moments when they aren't crime solving, or perhaps those down moments should just be skipped.
Other thoughts:
- They can't afford a better minivan? Just how poor is this division? Can't Nina mind bend someone into loaning them an SUV or cooler minivan?
- Gary fixed the TV. I think he deserves the chance to drive.
What did everyone else think of the premiere? Is Alphas worth another shot next week?
Nick McHatton is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: Alphas, Reviews
I love Alphas. I discovered season one on Netflicks, and checked out the first episode. It was okay - different. And having David Strathairn as Dr. Rosen made me think the show might have potential. So I watched the next episode, and then the next, and the next. After devouring season one, I've been downloading episodes of season 2 - so that I can catch up before watching the next current episode on TV. I really like the show. It's interesting and has a lot of different things going for it. The premise is interesting. And, personally, I have grown to really like the characters - especially Gary. I LOVE Gary. And I think the actor is doing an excellent job of portraying him. It took a while for Bill to grow on me. But he's become a likable guy through his interactions with Gary and now Kat. I've never felt the need to fast forward. I like the interplay between the characters - even during the calmer moments of the show. And I enjoy the action as well. Overall, it's an interesting show, and I'm glad I found it.
Not a big fan of the syfy channel but I like this show.Gary is the best character on the show he is so funny!!!
Just watching alphas back to back weekender on 5 star. its drainin 2 watch the boring bits but if you use fast forward button then the 11 episodes can be reduced in half the time. im on episode 3 and its taken 50mins to watch all 3 so far.
the character Gary is irritating enough that if they do not fix his character so he does not talk & act like he has so far they should just kill him off he makes me want to skip over parts he is in NOT because he has autistic issues but the way he portrays the part is disgusting his out bursts i understand BUT in real world the part is too unbelievable to watch with out disgust worse than a wonder woman rerun
this alphas show is dumb,,, 1- the old guy in charge cannot act and mumbles- should be replaced with some better acting 2- autistic character inconsistent acting. annoying to be watched 3- Prasad-very boring to watch.
I have to say i really liked it, ok its not going to win awards or anything for acting( but it may get awards for special effects (garys power is very visual and brilliant)). Sci-fi fans complain with over mythology shows such as the event and flashforward, so subtle mythology "red flag", "alphas" and ninas background are going to be explored in due time (i reckon she told someone to jump off a bridge). Going to tune in for sure. It certainly has potential, and its not the worst show on TV!
Great show. Really liked the character "Don Wilson". Is he based on the real FBI agent Don Wilson?
Reminds me of the 4400 so I am looking forward to more episodes
I liked it. The characters overall seemed believable and interesting. And they all seemed to have personalities beyond "dude with power X". As a parent of an autistic child, Gary is dead on. Dr. Rosen is a great character - obviously he's not a hero. He just seems like a therapist and researcher who is trying to do the right thing. He's very subtly played.
Blah! I'll give it a few episodes. I liked Gary, Nina, and Rachel. Nina's power reminded me of the Maenad on True Blood. Gary can't listen in on Nokia! LOL.

It was not Ben Nelson who killed the nomination of Dawn Johnsen, nor was it Arlen Specter or Senate Republicans. No, the sole reason Dawn Johnsen is not leading the OLC is that Barack Obama and his coterie of advisors did not want Dawn Johnsen leading the OLC.
Obama Killed The Johnsen Nomination, Not Ben Nelson Nor The GOP

By Padmananda Rama
The Northeast's latest winter storm, which the Weather Channel named Nemo, is winding down, but it has left behind more than 30 inches of snow in some places. It's also left a lot of people stranded, either #CoopedUp indoors or stuck in cars overnight on the Long Island Expressway.
For those who did venture out, the storm provided ample opportunity for some #FunInTheSnow. As promised, here are some of the submissions we've received on how you're coping with the storm.
