Running of The Bulls in New Orleans Makes Super Move in 2012
NEW ORLEANS, La., June 8, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — If past years are any indication, the crowd of partiers may double for the 6th Annual San Fermin in Nueva Orleans 2012 (SFNO) from July 12 – 15, hosted by Nola Bulls, LLC. The New Orleans incarnation of Running of the Bulls features roller derby skaters Big Easy Roller Girls and roller derby skaters from around the world as RollerBulls™: horned-helmet wearing, plastic bat wielding, crowd chasers. This spectacle was enjoyed by nearly 15,000 participants in 2011 representing exponential growth since its humble beginning in 2007 during which 125 runners were chased by 13 RollerBulls™.
THURSDAY JULY 12th – 6:30 p.m.:
SFNO unofficially begins with the 2nd Annual Wine Dinner presented by Marques de Caceres of Rioja and 7 on Fulton Restaurant (701 Convention Center Boulevard New Orleans, LA 70130). A limited number of diners will enjoy a multi-course, wine-paired meal. Menu and Ticket information is available at http://www.nolabulls.com.
FRIDAY JULY 13th – 5-9 p.m.:
El Txupinazo (choo-pee-NAHT-so) officially kicks off SFNO 2012 in a SUPER new venue and presents an opening experience influenced by the traditional Spanish event in Pamplona. This FREE EVENT will be hosted at Champions Square next to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Since opening in late 2010, Champions Square has been the site of great events such as Mardi Gras festivities and sports-related extravaganzas. Nola Bulls is proud to present El Txupinazo in an environment that will allow thousands to party in style. Tapas, Stella Artois and other beers, Marques de Caceres wines and sangria will liven the party. Multi-award winning Latin Boogaloo band, Los Poboycitos (http://lospoboycitos.com), will perform as will local dance troupes and performance groups.
SATURDAY JULY 14th – 8 a.m.:
El Encierro (The Running of the Bulls) is the featured event of SFNO and will commence at precisely 8 a.m. This FREE EVENT will also be held at Champions Square. Over 400 plus RollerBulls™ (from around the world), wielding plastic bats, will chase down and "gore" the thousands of participants. Festival registration packages are being offered on NolaBulls.com for VIP access that enables reserved area access, open bar and festival merchandise.
El Encierro is a "run at your own risk" event. All ages are welcome, but participants under 12 and people with strollers are required to use the sidewalks. Arrive early to view the Procession of San Fermin which begins at 7:30 a.m..
Following El Encierro will be the Post-Encierro Fiesta at Champions Square, featuring live music and area DJs, food, sangria, and Stella Artois. This event is FREE and open to the public.
SATURDAY JULY 14th – 8 p.m.:
La Fiesta de Pantalones (The Pants Party) revives the weary bull runners with live music from local acts, hand spun DJ tunes and other entertainment at 12Bar (608 Fulton St., New Orleans, LA 70130 – http://12barnola.com). Artists are to be determined.
SUNDAY JULY 15th – 11 a.m.:
El Pobre de Mi concludes the SFNO 2012 festivities. This growing event features a recovery brunch of tapas and Ernest Hemingway inspired cocktails like "Death in the Afternoon." Participants are invited to enter the laid back events, such as an Ernest Hemingway Look-a-Like contest and the Ernest Hemingway Jam, where multiple teams present their interpretations of randomly selected Hemingway works. 12Bar (608 Fulton St., New Orleans, LA 70130) will host this event.
Participants are requested to wear all white clothing with a red sash and neckerchief, or some other Spanish themed attire, for all events.
Discounted hotel accommodations are available at any New Orleans Hotel Collection properties, including the Hotel Le Marais, Bourbon Orleans, Dauphine Orleans, Hotel Mazarin, and Wyndham Riverfront.
Nola Bulls will donate part of the proceeds from all events to charity.

As a retailer in the surf industry for the past 21 years, I have had to use multiple sources to stay informed to the news within surf. Since the inception of the Executive Edition of Shop-Eat-Surf.com, I need only one stop. Thanks for providing such a valuable tool to all of us in the industry. Shop-Eat-Surf is a must read for all of our staff at Maui Nix.- By George Karamitos, CEO, Maui Nix
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
AGENDA: GroupY's Emerge brand-building conference returns on Jan. 6.

Hello Chum, First of all Happy New Year. I have a family tree sent to me by a Mr Prinsep in Vancouver and it shows Arthur Haversleigh who married a Miss Hinder along with many other names that have been verbally handed down through our family,eg.Marie Lohr whom I believe was a stage or screen star.I believe one of my great great greatgrandfathers was from a family of eight one of whom went out to India.I am very interested in the origins of the name and have found it interesting in places where I have visited, like Prinsep St. in Singapore,lots of history in Perth, Australia as some of the family in India settled in Tasmania and Western Australia for health reasons.My niece has a limited edition of water colours painted on one of their trips from India. We have seen the Prinsep Estate,Prinsep Park in W. Australia.Would be interested in sharing info with you.
Regards Alex Prinsep

Xbox One gets Max: The Curse of Brotherhood tomorrow
The more I think back to what I've played of Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, the more I want to try the platformer again. To best it. The game was unexpectedly challenging in a good way. It's getting something of a surprise release for Xbox One on Friday, December 20.
There's no word from publisher Microsoft Studios on the Xbox 360 version, which presumably means we can expect that to drop next year. If you do happen to own the new console, however, consider this -- and not just because you're desperate for more games to play on the system. Max should be a genuinely good game. Should. For as long as it's been in development, I'm hopeful.

Board questions promotions of failing students
|The goal of social promotion is to keep students moving ahead with their peer groups in the hopes that they will get on the right track and graduate from high school. This is what it looks like when they get there, but some school board members question how much good social promotion is actually doing for students. Republican-American archive photo
NAUGATUCK — The Board of Education is discussing whether schools should continue promoting students who don't learn their course material.
Currently, if a student in grades K-8 fails a course, he or she is not expected to make it up. Most of the time, that student is allowed to move forward.

Bebe Stores, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter Results
bebe stores, inc. (NASDAQ:BEBE) today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2012. In the second fiscal quarter of the prior year, the Company closed its remaining 25 PH8 stores, with the entire PH8 division results being presented as discontinued operations for all periods herein.
Net sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $131.5 million, a decrease of 0.6% from $132.3 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. As previously reported, comparable store sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 decreased 2.5 % compared to an increase of 7.5% in the prior year.
Gross margin from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 40.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to 41.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales from the prior year was primarily due to an increase in other costs including in-house production.
SG&A expenses from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $47.5 million, or 36.1% of net sales, compared to $46.6 million, or 35.2% of net sales, for the same period of the prior year. The increase over the prior year was primarily due to higher compensation expenses including incentive compensation.The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was 46.4% compared to 40.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The higher tax rate in the current fourth quarter was due to various discrete items, including elective changes to certain state apportionment factors and the cumulative impact of those changes on the related deferred balances. Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 of $3.0 million, or $0.04 per share, on 84.4 million diluted shares outstanding compared to $4.7 million, or $0.06 per share, on 84.2 million diluted shares outstanding for the same period of the prior year.

In this flap book based on the classic story, children delve into a fantastic snow-covered world and are invited to join in such educational and fun activities as building a snowman, counting household items, and identifying different colors.
Raymond Briggs was born in London in 1934. At the age of 15, he went to Wimbeldon Art School to learn how to draw, as he wanted to become a cartoonist. But there he was told that cartooning was not a profession for gentlemen and that he ought to be a painter. Raymond then went on to the Slade School in London to study painting as a full-time student. During his spare time, he began work on a portfolio of illustrations of all kinds, including jackets and a wide selection of drawings to take to publishers. After illustrating for advertising, newspapers and books, Raymond discovered that book illustration inspired him the most, since it offered far greater variety and freedom than anything else. Raymond has always found it unfavorable to sustain a consistent illustration style for a long period of time. He is always seeking to try something else new and different with his work. Some of Raymond's best known works are The Snowman , The Man , and The Bear . The setting for The Snowman is based on Raymond's own house and garden, which is in Sussex, England at the foot of South Downs, a few miles from Brighton.

IBM Takes the Cloud to the US Open
IBM Takes the Cloud to the US Open
NEW YORK - To help drive home its point that IBM is serious about cloud computing, Big Blue hosted an event at the US Open to show its cloud prowess in action.
IBM has long been a partner of the US Tennis Association (USTA) in handling all the IT operations behind the US Open and other Grand Slam tennis events. At a press event hosted by IBM at the US Open here on Aug. 31, Gordon Smith, the executive director and chief operating officer of the USTA, said, "IBM has been a USTA partner for 18 years. We've got the best technology partner on the planet bar none. We can't even begin to use the capacity IBM has provided us."
And given the elasticity afforded by cloud computing, Smith is right in so many ways, as IBM is bringing its cloud capability to the US Open operation.
Also at the event, Walt Braeger, vice president of cloud computing and Global Technology Services at IBM, laid out IBM's cloud computing strategy and reiterated IBM CEO Sam Palmisano's vision that the cloud will be a significant part of IBM's growth and focus through 2015. In fact, Braeger said IBM expects to see a boost in revenue of about $3 billion from cloud computing and related products and services.
In the case of the US Open, IBM provides a cloud computing capability that allows the USTA to scale up dramatically for the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament. IBM rapidly creates and provisions services on a common infrastructure -- services that are mission-critical to the tennis tournament, Braeger said.
For instance, IBM takes an asset such as real time and historic sports data and leverages it using a common infrastructure to deploy services of all kinds to different consumers -- media organizations, tournament officials, the public, tennis players, etc. -- on different platforms, such as broadcast, Web, iPhone, Twitter and others.
"IBM has also added new services and new devices so that we can deliver these assets every year, all the while managing traffic growth and reducing costs such as energy, floor space and labor," said Jen Knecht French, a spokeswoman for IBM.
Rick Singer, vice president of sports marketing at IBM, said the cloud comes up as a component of IBM's larger Smarter Planet strategy, where IBM is looking to cash in on the emerging "instrumentation" of not only IT infrastructure, but the physical infrastructure of buildings, cities, cars, trains, planes, you name it. The world is becoming smarter and IBM is prepared to step in and tackle all the data being produced as a result of this smarter planet -- as IBM culls data from the myriad devices that instrument infrastructure as well as from the devices that make up everyday consumer technology. Not only is IBM equipped to handle the massive data requirements with its big hardware and storage systems, the company also is set to provide analysis through its predictive analytics technologies.
IBM has spent several billion dollars acquiring new analytics technologies, including $1.2 billion for SPSS and $4.9 billion for Cognos, among other deals. IBM also has acquired cloud computing companies including Cast Iron Systems and Sterling Commerce.
And as evidence of further use of its cloud and Smarter Planet strategy in action, at the US Open IBM culls and analyzes data from the Open radar guns, chair umpire system, court-side statistician (a Think-pad based system) and the broadcast TV feeds, among other things, IBM said.
However, Braeger said IBM has done two things the signaled its seriousness about the cloud. One was appointing a senior executive to oversee cloud computing, and the other was the company began a transformation effort starting inside IBM's own CIO's office.
Delivering Vertical Cloud Solutions
Moreover, differentiating its strategy from that of some of the leaders in the cloud computing space, IBM is looking to deliver vertical cloud solutions. Braeger said the company is "looking at specific verticals" such as financial solutions, health care, telecommunications and others. "Name an industry and I don't think there's a use case we haven't thought about," he said.
But Braeger warned not to lump IBM in with the rest of the cloud computing pack.
"In many cases, clients are thinking about the cloud as a pure commodity offering; that's not what IBM wants to tackle," he said. "We're not necessarily looking for clients in the MIPS-are-us space." He said although the cloud can be a means of saving money, that is not enough on its own.
Rather, IBM is going after clients who are looking to make a business transformation via the cloud. IBM likes to work with "the ones looking for changing business processes," Braeger said. And often that includes services as well as IBM systems and software. Braeger used the example of IBM's CloudBurst appliance, which enables users to essentially put their cloud in a box. And that system has sold well, particularly in conjunction with IBM services engagements.
"There is absolutely a Global Services element to this [cloud strategy]," Braeger said. "There's a big part of the market that wants a deal including services," he added.
Indeed, Braeger said IBM is seeing "a stratification of buyers" in the cloud space, with some customers just kicking the tires or following up a pilot project and others in a more mature phase looking to branch out and experience the broader benefits of cloud computing.
For his part, Braeger also said he does not believe cloud computing is just old wine in new bottles or another name for hosted computing. The cloud differs from hosted computing in two key ways, he said. The cloud allows self-service access and it features elasticity or flexibility in the model.
Braeger also addressed the issue of the growth and proliferation of data-rich applications by the cloud creating the need for more data storage and data warehousing leading to data overload. Asked whether this could create a scenario where CIOs are going to have to grow their storage capacity at too rapid a rate for the cost of scale of the cloud, Braeger said IBM has adequate storage and systems solutions to handle data requirements. He also said IBM is attacking the problem through analytics. "We've got the largest math lab in the world working on algorithms" to eliminate the complexity of breaking down data, he said.
Braeger said this presents an opportunity for IBM's partners. "I think the
Smarter Planet -- where there are one trillion devices interconnected --
Is going to spin off opportunities for partners. For the enlightened ones, they will look at the cloud and analytics as two arrows in their quiver."
Meanwhile, Braeger told eWEEK he believes the "killer app" for the cloud is the development and test environment. IBM offers a Development and Test cloud for its customers.
"For CIOs that's the killer app, to use the term loosely," Braeger said. "If there is a killer app for the cloud it's the test cloud. The business cases for this are unbelievable. We're seeing a lot of uptake on this."
IBM is working with partners in cloud management, cloud security and software development and testing support to provide businesses with a unique mix of flexibility, scalability, enterprise-grade security and control for development and test on the IBM Cloud.
The average enterprise devotes up to 50 percent of its entire technology infrastructure to development and test, but typically up to 90 percent of it remains idle, Braeger said. IBM has seen that taking advantage of cloud computing within development and testing environments can help reduce IT labor costs by 50 percent, improve quality and drastically reduce time to market.
IBM's Smart Business Development & Test on the IBM Cloud allows enterprise clients to expand on internal development and test efforts with instant access to resources through IBM's secure, scalable cloud delivery model, IBM software and application lifecycle management capabilities. IBM's enterprise-friendly approach to cloud complements clients' current data centers and traditional development efforts, helping clients:
- Reduce provision cycle times from weeks to minutes
- Eliminate software defects by up to 30 percent.
- Reduce time required for test and quality assurance
- Enable rapid redeployment of environments across multiple IT projects
"We've seen interest in this from our enterprise clients, our small and medium business clients, from partners, pretty much from everybody," Braeger said.

Debuchy by World Cup winners being back for Arsenal
Full-back Mathieu Debuchy believes Arsenal will be "incredible" once World Cup winners Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski have fully integrated back into the squad.
The German trio are expected to be involved for the first time in the squad for Saturday's evening kick-off at Everton, having returning to London following an extended break after their triumph in Brazil.
Arsenal have made a positive start to the new season, recording victories over Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley and Crystal Palace in the Barclays Premier League. They also left Istanbul with a goalless draw from the first leg of their Champions League play-off against Besiktas on Tuesday night.
Debuchy, signed from Newcastle earlier in the summer, is confident once Arsenal have all their key men up and running again, they will prove a force to be reckoned with.
"It is fantastic for me to be part of this team. When I see the squad now and I think that Ozil, Mertesacker and Podolski are still missing, it is incredible. It is an amazing squad," Debuchy told the September edition of the official Arsenal magazine.
"Playing with them is pure happiness, even at training it is top level.
"You have to give your best all the time because the level required is immense."
Debuchy has settled in quickly at right-back, the £16million France international filling the void left by the departure of compatriot Bacary Sagna to Manchester City on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old is in no doubt everything is in place at Arsenal to help develop his game.
"This is another dimension. If you compare the training grounds for example, nothing at Lille or Newcastle can match the one at Arsenal. It is another world," he said.
"Everything here is made to optimise your preparation and you as a player so you can be in the best condition to play and win football games."

If you spent all winter in the Himalayas, you'd probably be a little dirty, too. At the very least, you'd have a good store of dirty jokes. Either way, the KR3W Filthy Sherpa Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt will keep you warm looking good upon your societal re-entry. Didn't spend winter in the mountains? The Filthy Sherpa still looks good.

Hi there. I am trying to use JFOR to generate RTF from XML/XSL files and have had problems with generating the FO-Tree aparently required to do this. org.apache.fop.apps.Driver offers the function "driver.buildFOTree(parser, in);" that can apparently be used to generate such a tree, but I still dont understand how to produce the InputSource file needed by buildFOTree.

Finally got to see the second episode of Julian Assange tv show in which he interviews David Horowitz and Slavoj Žižek. While the interview is certainly original and much better than what western tv has produced for the past few decades, it still seems as if all three take a bunch of conservative premises for granted. Some issues, such as that Latin American leftist leaders are "dictators" as Horowitz claims, are just left unanswered in the room and one can only imagine that Assange/Žižek did not refute such charges as they were simply too far out to be answerable.

Western media don't like competition?
US and UK media seem a bit envious that suddenly Russian media gets to play in the same league as them in terms of global opinion shaping. They don't seem to be able to agree on any points of content except that they don't like what is going on. Take the following two excerpts for example:
Can we NOW remove the name of of AP Møller?
Danish oligarch Møller has died — and everybody from queen to leader of the social democrats feels the need to say what a great human being he was. Somehow I cannot remember anything similar happening when a labor union leader trying to organize Møller's company was killed under mysterious circumstances in El Salvador a few years. Møller decided to sponsor a school to the Danish minority in Germany a few years ago. The school association then decided to give it the name of Møller's father, "A.P. Møller", who had made the company big. Any criticism that Møller had made his fortune in part by selling weapons to the nazis and in more recent years by having an extra-ordinarily good deal on pumping up the Danish oil was swept under the carpet. Now that Møller Jr. is gone, can we maybe get to talk about changing the name of the school again? How much longer do the Danes of northern Germany want to be associated with nazi weapon production?
This is a campaign I started a little over a month ago. And yes, I happened to take the initiative, but the fact that the name wasn't very well chosen was something many people had been thinking about before. Basically, it's this Danish company t…
Swung by the Plaza de la Revolución tonight to listen to Da
Swung by the Plaza de la Revolución tonight to listen to Daniel Ortega's interpretation of the Cartagena meeting of American states: He is angry at Canada and USA for voting against Cuban participation in future summits. He believes the governments of those countries don't really speak for their populations and challenges them to hold referendas to determine what the people really want. He also accused the governments of those countries of thinking they are privileged to determine who is democratic, while repressing the Occupy protests violently.

"…I Ruters strategidokument er det lagt opp til egne buss- og trikketraseer i indre by fra 2060. …"
Grass "poem"?
To me the writings of Günter Grass look like nothing special. It's a rehash of things that were known already and opinions that most people in the world would agree with anyway. I don't see the controversy. Why does this get so much attention just because it comes from a certain person? Are the thoughts of one person so much more important than those of everybody else, no matter how simple they are? Here is the poem translated.
Goldsmiths — radical?
It's funny to think about that our student "riots" of fall 2010 have been made part of the Goldsmiths marketing strategy (selling buttons, etc.) while at the time they tried everything possible to stop us from organizing or occupying anything at the time. That winter I needed to get away in order to get the space and time to write my thesis. Conclusion: Choosing between defending the university while getting attacked for precisely that by it's management, or be geographically far away in order to do what one set out to academically do there. The conflict still has not been resolved. There is still no future for us in British academia. And 1.5 years have gone by already.
OLPC not all that great anyways?
I have wondered about this a bit — in a world where a tiny part of the world can potentially produce the electronics for everybody and large parts of the world will never be industrialized (or even deindustrialize) — could it be set up for the underdeveloped parts of the world to develop right into a culture of (coffe drinkin, all-day) web users? Given a socialist, worldwide allocation of resources? Or is this not taking sufficiently into considerations the expectations and cultures of the world? Most certainly OLPC did not consider sufficiently having locals on the ground who could give tech support.
blog restarted
Finally my blog should show my posts again. If everything works out right, my blog http://johanneswilm.org should be connected with my FB account through the Friendica powered site http://polyglot.me . Hopefully this is the beginning of an exit strategy from the FB universe.

WFOR Chief Meteorologist David Bernard Set to Leave
WFOR chief meteorologist David Bernard is said to be on his way out. According to GossipExtra, Bernard was offered a contract by the station for less than what he makes now so he decided to walk. He is the third high-profile personality to leave WFOR in less than a year, after main anchors Shannon Hori and Antonio Mora left just recently.
There is some disagreement about what's actually prompting these changes. To some, WFOR management is freshening things up with new blood, to others it is management not wanting to spend big bucks on talent anymore, so those that don't want to play along can leave and be replaced by less demanding talent. Or both. Though it does kind of make you wonder how big or small a check WFOR and CBS had to cut for Rick Folbaum to bring him from the network level down to a TV station in the 16th largest market? One whose newscasts local viewers are not exactly rushing to watch.
David Bernard joined WFOR in 2005 from WWL in New Orléans, selected personally by Bryan Norcross, he would eventually take over for him as chief meteorologist in 2008 when Norcross left the station to form his own company.
Want an interesting factoid? WSVN, once the perennial revolving door for talent, now has the longest-serving anchor team on Miami TV, at least among English stations. Belkys Nerey and Craig Stevens have been together since August 2003. Also, three of the station's four main news anchors have been there for 20+ years each. And Phil Ferro, the longest-serving chief meteorologist since 2004, if you don't count John Morales' time at WLTV and WSCV. And of course Christine Cruz and Diana Diaz on 'Today in Florida' both of whom have been with WSVN since 1996 and 1998 respectively.
David Bernard will officially leave WFOR sometime in November.
Very sad to heard this news.
Too bad Scott Padgett is leaving South Florida for Dallas. He could have joined WFOR as their chief meteorologist. Oh well, maybe Trent Aric can jump ship from WPLG and join WFOR. I liked David Bernard, but it would be great to see some local talent take over his role at WFOR. Good luck to David.
Trent to WFOR I hope!! He is the best in SFLA!!!
He is worth more than the two anchors they dismissed put together. Was their "go to" guy for CBS in
New York so you know he is good. The way channel 10 dumped, demoted and humiliated all their weathermen it would not surprise anyone if Trent made himself available. 10 won't miss him because
so many viewers stopped watching them. Ha!
Salary mitigation…..
David aint the first and wont be the last.
They must have dropped his dollars significantly in order for him to walk.
Then again……maybe WFOR is crappy station (internally speaking) and even the slightest mention of a pay cut was enough to walk.
When you are tired, frustrated, pushed up against the wall……the slightest annoyance can be a motivating factor to move on.
Part of the business!
Wish you well D.
Just read on TVSpy.com that Jeff Berardelli is leaving WFOR for WPEC in Palm Beach. Looks like the CBS weather team is going be hiring real soon as they will only be left with Lissette and Craig by the Fall.
WFOR sounds like they are in trouble. Main anchors being let go, Chief Meteorologist and weekend Meterologist leaving the station…and who knows who else will be out the door because they make too much money (which is the rumor on the reason for some of the departures).
Scott Padgett & Trent Aric…move over to WFOR an help them rebuild their weather team.
I wonder if Roland Stedham is regretting signing a contract with WPLG for the weekend AM meteorologist position, when he could possibly have a better position with WFOR?
Where there is smoke, there is fire……and opportunity; opportunity for someone….but treading lightly/cautiously would be recommended if pursuing opps at WFOR. No one wants to walk into a sh*t storm if the place is not being managed right.
**Pure speculation on my part about WFOR
Looks like i need to whip out my dental veneers and brush off the resume.
Prime time is calling….
You think S FL is ready for a male Filipino??????
I wish David, Scott and Jeff well. I've enjoyed watching them all as a viewer. I guess that Trent is not far behind them. I figure that WPLG hired Roland as an insurance policy and I doubt he'll be doing the weekend AM slot for very long.
Interesting that the only locally, privately, owned and managed station is the most stable.
I bet Scott is wishing he hadn't jumped on the morning gig in Dallas with the openings at WFOR.
Maybe. Both WFOR and KTVT are CBS O&O's, so maybe they can work out a deal. If WFOR is being tight with money, he may not have been interested anyway. Besides, Scott's moving up from the #16 market to the #5 market in DFW. Not too shabby.
Belkys Nerey, Craig Stevens, Steve Shapiro and Phil Ferro have been together since 2005. Longest on-air team in South Florida.
WFOR is already in trouble:
1 – their news ratings suck.
2 – replacing a well-known South Floridan with an network reporter.
3 – 2 great meteorologists leaving.
4 – they should have paid him (David) the same amount for a new contract.
5 – WFOR just sucks.
That's why I watch 7, not 4.
If they start slashing Jim or Kim in the sports department it will show they are in big financial trouble.
Letting your best weather person walk to save a couple bucks makes no sense. If they hire another
air head with big boobs as a replacement everyone will be livid.
How does Eliot manages to stay?
YES love WSVN ch 7 the news station and the ENTIRE team !!!!
Any word yet on who will be taking the place as the main weather person or weekend man ???
WFOR has been slicing and dicing to max out their profit even though CBS is rolling in cash.
Make more bucks for the suits in New York. The station has always been the unwanted stepchild of the network and it continues to this day. The managers in charge, top to bottom, were not hired for their stellar news judgement by any means.
It's no surprise so many are bailing out of that clown-car of a newsroom.
WFOR would be STUPID if they didn't go get Trent Aric now! He has been here what, roughly 10 years in the market, worked with Max Mayfield and Don Noe all those years. Where would they find a better fit? Plus he already has name recognition and credibility in the area. Even if he has a non-compete it doesn't matter wait for it to expire. He would be ready for next hurricane season they have David until the end of this years season. Scott Padgett is going to a CBS O&O in Dallas maybe they should think about keeping him and Trent together and handing it to WPLG. Think about it, Betty Davis has never covered a hurricane in south Florida and Julie Durda was pulled off the air during storms. WPLG has lost all credibility they had, expect for Max who looks highly annoyed on the air these days. Great opportunity for WFOR. Let's see how smart they are.
Max being annoyed is probably related to something else, of which you know nothing about.

Entertainment Gaming Asia's Dolphin Subsidiary Expands Market Presence Into The Philippines With $1.3 Million Gaming Chip Order From The New Solaire Resort & Casino
Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. (NYSE MKT: EGT) ("Entertainment Gaming Asia" or "the Company"), a leading gaming company focused on emerging gaming markets in Pan-Asia, today announced its Dolphin subsidiary has secured a $1.3 million gaming chip order to supply Bloomberry Resorts Corp.'s ( PSE: BLOOM) new Solaire Resort & Casino ("Solaire") in the Philippines. This order will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2012 and marks Dolphin's entrance into the growing Philippine gaming market. Solaire, a premier integrated resort, will be the first property to open in the highly-anticipated Entertainment City casino and tourist complex in Manila Bay in early 2013.
Clarence Chung, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entertainment Gaming Asia, commented, "Dolphin is delighted to be appointed as the supplier of Solaire's peso-denominated cash, non-negotiable and reserve bank chips. The order includes approximately 765,000 chips with a range of Dolphin's high-level security features. We believe this order reflects the recognition by Solaire management of the superior product quality and service offered by the Dolphin team and our commitment to developing a range of products that is considered by casino customers to be preeminent."
Also today, the Company announced that its Dolphin subsidiary is in the process of delivering its previously-announced order of RFID gaming chips and plaques to long-time customer, Crown Perth, formerly known as Burswood Entertainment Complex, in Perth, Western Australia. This $2.2 million order, of which approximately $1.6 million will be booked in the third quarter of 2012 and the remaining $600,000 will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2012, includes over 500,000 chips and 25,000 plaques as part of the rebranding of the property to the world renowned "Crown" brand. The newly expanded and refurbished Crown Perth, which is part of the integrated urban entertainment resorts owned by Crown Limited (ASX: CWN), was launched at a gala opening on September 20, 2012.
