Oak Bluffs harbor committee recommends new tournament
Following presentations from two competing big game fishing tournament organizers, the Oak Bluffs harbor management committee voted unanimously Thursday to forward an application from Damon Sacco of Bourne and Ted Rosbeck of Edgartown to stage the Oak Bluffs Challenge tournament the weekend of July 24.
Committee members took no action on an application from Matthew Kriedel of Edgartown and Newington, Connecticut, who applied to stage the tournament the weekend of July 17.
Both tournament organizers want to step into the void left by the untimely death of Steven James in a duck hunting accident last month. For the past 27 years, Mr. James organized the Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tournament, defended it, and modified the contest over the years in the face of growing opposition from Islanders and others.
On Thursday, representatives of both tournaments spoke at length about their fishing experience, how their tournaments would differ from the Monster Shark tournament and the many ways in which the community would benefit.
John Breckenridge, chairman of the harbor management advisory committee, said he had asked each applicant to submit detailed information regarding their background, their experience as tournament organizers, and to list any financial partners. Mr. Breckenridge also asked the applicants to say if the tournament would be catch and release. In 2013, town meeting voters unhappy with the Monster Shark Tournament approved a non-binding resolution that called for a catch and release tournament.
Oak Bluffs Challenge
Ted Rosbeck of Edgartown spoke on his behalf of Damon Sacco, who could not attend due to a last minute scheduling conflict. Mr. Sacco is an experienced charter captain and organizer of the Hyannis Bluefin Tuna Fest. Mr. Rosbeck said three organizers from the prestigious Falmouth Grand Prix tournament would also be involved.
"This would be an offshore multiple species event," Mr. Rosbeck said. "It's basically the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish tournament, offshore. Instead of going for stripers and bluefish, fishermen will go after marlin, tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi."
The tournament will have a point system for different species and a catch and release point system. Marlin and shark would be catch and release only. "It's basically an IGFA (International Game Fishing Association) structure that many tournaments use," Mr. Rosbeck said.
The contest would donate ten percent of entry fees to charity and there would be education booths and seminars on the dock for the general public while the boats are on the water. He also said marlin and shark that are caught would be tagged for scientific research.
Mr. Rosbeck said the organizers have modest expectations for the first year, estimating a field of 15-25 boats. "Steve [James] put on a great tournament, for any of us to fill that void is impossible," said Mr. Rosbeck.
Shark Tournament
Matthew Kridel of Newington, Connecticut and Edgartown said he intends to make significant changes in the overall tone and operation of the Monster Shark tournament, which had generated opposition in recent years from those opposed to shark fishing and the carnival atmosphere associated with the daily weigh-ins of dead sharks.
"The sharks were hung for too long at the weigh in facility," said Mr. Kriedel. "We'll weigh them quickly, then put them behind a screened off area where the biologists can do their work. It'll be a three sided tent so the public can look if they want to."
Mr. Kriedel said there would be an optional catch and release category.
As part of a family-friendly approach, Mr. Kriedel said he also wants to set up an education tent during the tournament. "I'm a fisherman, I want to promote respect for the species," he said. "I want to set up a place where people of all ages can learn about all the different species of sharks."
Mr. Kriedel said he intends to give ten percent of proceeds to Island charities, as well as find local freezer space so the shark meat can be donated to the Island Food Pantry and to senior centers in the fall.
Oak Bluffs Harbormaster expressed skepticism about Mr. Kriedel's lack of experience in organizing fishing tournaments. Mr. Kriedel said that he has organized large rugby events in Newport Rhode Island, and reiterated that he has fished in many tournaments.
Richard Combra, Jr. made a motion to recommend Mr. Sacco's application to the board of selectmen. Douglas Abdelnour,. Jr. seconded the motion. It was unanimously approved by seven of the eight committee members. Selectman Michael Santoro, a member of the committee, abstained.
The harbor management committee recommendation now goes to the selectmen for approval at their regular meeting on Tuesday, February 11.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that Mr. Sacco applied to hold the tournament on the weekend of July 17. Mr. Sacco has applied for the weekend of July 24.
Just to address some of the incorrect items in this story: The other tournament is for the following weekend: July 25-26 plus or minus a day. I made the effort to try to keep the tournament a weigh in type of venue, however the powers that be wish to have a catch and release. To that end I WILL present that type of tournament to the selectmen on the 11th, so that they may address the will of the voters. I made a best effort to bring a tournament similar to past seasons to bear, but will adjust to make the town happy, and ask that fishermen support the towns decision to follow that course until the voters of Oak Bluffs decide otherwise. I will be presenting a Catch and release Shark Event to the Selectmen on the 11th of February at 4:15 in the Oak Bluffs library and encourage all to attend to voice their opinions. I firmly believe that I can provide the town with the best possible event regardless of the tournament format. I also support Mr. Saccos tournament and his decision to follow a multi species challenge. I wish him the utmost success. The Island can benefit in many ways by embracing any endeavor that will promote this fantastic Island. Please attend this meeting and let your opinions be heard. Thank you, Matthew Kriedel, Martha's Vineyard Fish and Game
I sat through the Harbor Management committee meeting yesterday on the two fishing tournament applications to the Town. I must say I left in a state of confusion, from what I understand the Committees role is to make recommendations to the Board of Selectman as to the impact on Harbor recreation, open spaces and beaches in terms of the events impact on those items and the Harbor in general. I was a developer for 20 years and dealt with many town committees, never did I see such a blatent disregard for an applicants rights and interests by a committee. Mr Kriedel addressed the issues of concern that the Town had and did a fairly good job in showing He could work with the Town. What shocked Me was the fact that Town Employees who were I would assume being paid during regular work hours were allowed to be voting members on a committee that effects private and public interests!! and there was another member of the committee who had a business relationship in the past with one of the applicants! It seemed to Me as an observer that the Harbor Advisory Committee had no interest in making any recommendations but had an agenda already in place. If I were Mr Kriedel I would be all over the Legal aspect of this Committee and its role in the Permit process. The biggest issue in Past tournaments according to the Committee itself was the public safety and behavior issues of the public, The Oak Bluffs Police Department was there and told the Committee that last years beefed up police presence was effective and adequate and They could handle it. That seemed to be passed over as a side note and There seemed to be no interest in even looking at Mr Kriedels proposal.
WOW. If everyone feels so strongly that way, I am certain the organizers of the other tournament will step aside with no hard feelings. It is no secret I am helping them, as I gave the actual presentation. That said, my interest is in fishing the tournament, helping with Island communication and helping with sponsors. Truth is, these don't make any money until they get much larger and need sponsor money to even get started. I have no interest in any of that and just want a great event to participate in and for the benefit of the Town of Oak Bluffs. While your opinions are certainly yours to share, you should take the time to learn about the facts until you spout off and try to discredit people. I am assuming you are not tied to the Island that well or you have not been for very long. If you were, you would understand that the Island is a very small place and if you cannot have had prior dealings or relationships with board members on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, then almost the entire board, including the Board of Selectmen would have to abstain from most votes. I am personally familiar with the majority of the members of the Harbor Advisory, I have no reason to hide that. Yet, I suppose you challenge that since they no me, you immediately assume they are all corrupt and cannot stay impartial and decide what they feel is truly best for the town. To discredit someone and challenge their integrity like you are trying to do is a very poor way to win support for YOUR cause. Frankly, it was quite embarrassing for Mr. Kriedel to pull out a website list of sponsors from 2011, WHICH NEVER TOOK PLACE, as an attempt to discredit a Board member. Are we to assume that he found a printer in his pocket and that was not premeditated. I truly believe Mr. Kriedel now believes that was not the best choice of action. I spent a few minutes speaking with him after the meeting and sincerely explained that if the Selectmen choose to stick with the Shark Tournament, then I would happily support and help with Sponsors for him. Either options are great for the Town and I hope to enjoy either one. That said, since we are laying it all out there, switching the proposal to a catch and release shark tournament is not going to work as well and everyone knows it. While I do believe there are ways to do it correctly and have fun, its not going to work as well as the OBC proposal. Further, the recommended Oak Bluffs Challenge does not claim to be fully catch and release and if you come to the Selectmen's meeting on Tuesday, I am sure you will hear the term "kill tournament" now used by Mr. Kriedel to discredit the OBC. Furthermore, removing the word "Monster" from the name, is no different than changing the name to, "The Oak Bluffs Shark Tournament with Candy Canes and Rainbows". My only comment to that is, tread lightly, as one of the largest "Kill" tournaments in the country takes place right here on Martha's Vineyard… how well would the MV Derby do if it switched to catch and release? Again, I hold no ill will toward anyone involved here and whatever direction the town chooses, I only hope that people can restrain from personal insults and slander towards our fellow Islanders. If anyone has any comments and suggestions to help change or offer advice to make the OBC better, most of you know where to find me and I would be happy to pass along your thoughts to the main organizers.
While I respect Mr. Rosbeck, he is incorrect. The board member who seconded the application, is involved in, and is listed, even as of this very moment as a sponsor of the current 2014 tournament, NOT 2011, as listed on the website: http://www.hyannistunafest.com/links.php
I do understand the island is a small place, but this applicant is from the Cape, not the Island, and has no business or home on the Island.-
Oh boy. I just wrote a novel explaining why it is bad to slander others when you do not know the facts, but you insist. I am sorry you will not let this go, but you are indeed very wrong. Check out that link again… closely. Notice anything? There are bars down the left side showing levels of sponsors, notice where this specific logo in question sits. Notice where the charity "One Mission" sits… I assume they are a "SPONSOR" as well? Better yet, don't click on the "links" page, but go to the homepage or sponsorship page itself… do you see the logo? Do they know each other? Yes. Does most of the board know me? Yes. The Selectmen know me as well, can I not speak to them? Does that make us all corrupt and not truthful?? Were you actually listening to the Board and truly believe this ONE vote had any impact on the Board's decision. For someone that is claiming to want to work hand-in-hand with the town and boards, this does not seem like a good start. Honestly, if you are all about working for and with the town and they preferred the OBC, why exactly would you yourself not be in support? I readily admit I would enjoy your tournament even though it is not my preference. Again, I think we should talk about the benefits of each and stay away from slander. Do we really need to prove who is really from and not from the Island (I am not, but I have lived and owned a business here permanently for over 10 years and my kids are born and raised here… guess what, even I am not a true Islander… Are you?) As I mentioned to you after the meeting, if you were to continue with your tournament and the Town wants it, I would be happy to help offer advice and sponsors for you instead. That all said, I am going to refrain from further discussion here, as it is clearly not productive. If you would like to meet or discuss it more on the phone, I would be happy to offer my sincere support and advice for you as well in preparation for next Tuesday.
Mr. Rosbeck,
You might want to go looking for some "candy canes and rainbows". You are misrepresenting your tournament and its organizer, Mr. Damon Sacco. Mr. Sacco promotes himself and his charter business as "monster hunters" on his own website. He also has a "monster club" on his website. Mr. Sacco promotes the whole monster theme, and I'm the one with the candy canes?? Please take a look at your own team before criticizing me for taking the monster part out of my proposed event. "Monster Hunters". I mean really??-
The obvious one to be misrepresenting their tournament is you, Mr. Kriedel. You took monster out of your tournament name only to sidestep what you are all about and you are changing your referendum because your original proposal was shot down yet you accuse Mr. Sacco and Mr. Rosbeck of misrepresentation. Strange.
Then you proceed to attack Mr. Sacco, again, because outside of his tournament proposal he owns a charter fishing adventures monster hunt club. Did they propose to bring that to the island? No. So what is your point? Their proposal never included killing Marlin and shark. Did yours?
You definitely need a candy cane, a rainbow…and perhaps a life raft.
You are correct that I am not an island resident but I have been a visitor to Your great Island for decades and have the Utmost respect for Oak bluffs and its Town Government and have followed the politics and trends over the years especially with regards to the shark tournament and its impact to Oak Bluffs. Im not spouting off or trying to discredit anyone, especially You, and I have great respect for Mr Sacco and his Organization and what they are trying to do there with their tournament. My argument and mostly My observation is that the Harbor Committee is not doing what its intended task was designed to do. Prove Me wrong if You can but My interpretation of the Committees function is to make reccomendations to the Board of Selectman for each and every applicant wether they are positive or negative. Not to have a vote on which applicant They like better based on a comparison of the two!! And then to put it into a vote format as if They are passing an agenda, not to mention there are town employees not only voting but making the motion to vote for a second vote which is then done by a member who has His companys name as a sponsor on the Applicants website? How is this a fair process? Not to mention if this is truly a Committee making a Vote agenda that effects private interests there is a real issue with public employees voting and its a very clear conflict of interest. As far as the "Kill" tournament aspect issue goes both applicants have an extensive history of being involved in just such tournaments and the fact is the real issue here is the impact on the Town of Oak Bluffs by these tournaments. From what I heard at the Committee Meeting the Police are able to handle the crowds and the local Business community benefits in the 3 to 4 million dollar range with the "kill" tournament as it brings in the spectators and the public to Oak Bluffs. I really Cant believe You are trying to make it sound like a moral issue here over kill tournaments when You are working with an entity that has been in them for years. You really need to do Your own research before attacking Me on the facts. I did mine
Im pretty sure that Mr.Rosbeck was clear and specifically said that the OBC
was in fact a kill tournament and that only marlin and shark would would be catch and release. He isn't taking any moral ground….what are you talking about?-
could you guys have a sup of coffee somewhere
Politics will end this. Imagine two guys from Edgartown wanting to manage a tournament in OB. It would be like two guys from OB wanting to manage The bass derby. At least Mr. James wasnt connected with the island.If you think there isnt a wide division between all the towns on the island think again.
You do know that the Derby committee chair has been held by Oak Bluffs residents before, right?
No I didnt, I always thought Ed Jerome always ran it. Until recently.
fyi one of the guys is from oak bluffs, how does that matter anyway? you are saying you would like a non islander to run the tournament rather than an islander? interesting
I agree politics will end the shark tourny after 27 years and tens of millions of dollars to oak bluffs. politics will also end the tens of millions of dollars in the next few years that would gone to oak bluffs but will now go another town. its ironic that the town finally solves the crown control issues with increased police.more money for the officers also,and they decide to end the tournament. Very foolish move as you will hear from local business owners soon…………politics rarely do whats in a towns interest so why should oak bluffs be any different
I'm very grateful that someone from the Vineyard cares enough to take the time to undertake such a huge project. The bottom line is that 'the tournament' was beneficial to the Oak Bluffs harbor; hence it was beneficial to ALL of Oak Bluffs; therefore it was beneficial to the entire Vineyard.
With all the recent concern about improving Oak Bluffs, I would hope that support of any kind would be forthcoming freely. Discouraging the efforts to salvage this event seem counterproductive.
seemed pretty clear to me that mr Rosbeck was using the "kill" tourney as a negative aspect of the Kriedel proposal. The fact is the OBC proposal is a "kill" tournament and its a shark tournament, shark and tuna and marlin yes but in fact not any more a catch and release tournament than Kriedels proposal as mr Rosbeck says "candy canes and Rainbows" if its a quacks like a duck its a duck. the non binding referendum says " all shark tournaments will be catch and release" unless I missed something I understand the OBC to be a shark,tuna and marlin tournament, there is a kill element to which species is not specified in the referendum. So unless there is a new referendum by next Tuesday or OBC drops the shark part of their application both applications violate the referendum. Will be very interesting to see the discussion among the selectman on how the referendum plays into their decisions. From what was discussed at the Harbor committee meeting yesterday regarding the Police having the Tournament crowd under control last year and that being the main objection to the permit I find it hard to believe the Towns best interest is in a small 20 boat tournament that will generate very little business for the Community Business versus the 100 boats and Huge crowds that the Shark Tournament brings in. 3 to 4 million dollars is a lot of money that will be missed by those who have counted on it and that should be remembered at election time. To be honest I really don't care which permit is issued, in fact I think they should both be issued but what bothers me here is the obvious unfairness that's being shown here.
Ummm, I was also at the meeting and he clearly stated that marlin and mako shark are catch and release only. I have fished many tournaments like this and mako sharks are sometimes caught on the troll while targeting other palegic species such as wahoo, marlin, and tuna, and the mako is a great game fish.
its still a shark tournament
Spencer I really don't know what part of the OBC proposal you see can be construed as a "shark tournament" but I assure you that if it's anything like the other offshore tournaments ive fished,it's the furthest thing from that. The fact of the matter is that you actually DO NOT target sharks at all. There will most likely be a point system with blue marlin and big eye tuna being the most points ( they tend to be the hardest to catch) followed by white and hatchet marlin, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, sword fish (all of which have strict bag limit counts and coincide with national marine fisheries limits). Like I said in my earlier post, mako sharks have been caught on the troll while targeting other species but I assure you they are not being targeted. The object of the tournament is to win, to win you have to accrue the most points…..to get the most, you want to catch the fish worth the most points which mako sharks are probably at the bottom of the point scale and are limited to one per boat and will be catch and release only.
Now I'm sure the OBC has a Local charity in mind that they will be supporting and I'm sure many of the local businesses will reap the benifits of this event by people coming to check out the tournament and all it has to offer by way of spectators coming down to check out some fish they may have never seen before like wahoo, swordfish,and big eye and yellow fin tuna. There will certainly be some sort of Captains meeting and awards banquet (both of which will most certainly be held at a local venue). All in all, this tournament will help the town financially as well as eliminate the stigma of the" monster shark tournament" that the town was trying to get away from.
marlinman, I believe the Permit submitted by OBC says "tuna, Marlin and catch and release shark division. The referendum says all shark tournaments will be catch and release and does not specify the species, when you pass a referendum it needs to be very detailed to stand any legal test and that referendum is not only non binding but its non specific. If the shark tournament has a Tuna division that lands fish then its not a catch and release tourney. Anyway yes I agree the OBC tourney is a really great little contest and it has something for everyone but the problem is it will be a little event. it falls on the weekend before the tristate tuna tourney at Block island which draws all of the big players and will keep the OBC tourny I would bet around 20 boats every year, which is fine if you want a quiet event but wont draw any real monies to Oak Bluffs, The shark tournament even though its controversial draws huge monies to Oak Bluffs and would bring more charity monies than the OBC. But I think its Mute at this point as anyone could see at that Theatrical produced Harbor committee meeting that the decisions have already been made to end the shark tournament. I just hope the Citizens take note of how that committee treated Mr kriedel. They didn't even make a recommendation of any sort as they are required. and ask yourself why

Not only would year-round motorized uses all 12 miles from Rt. 28N to Boreas Ponds result in much public debate, as you correctly predict, such uses would also destroy the very wilderness that people across the state, the nation, Canada and other countries, including the governor, seek, celebrate and deem a highly rare and vulnerable resource in our world. That wilderness resource not only attracts attention and visitation from those whose travels demonstrate that the Adirondack Park has something – wilderness on a large scale – that has practically vanished outside of Alaska, it provides unique economic advantages to the region as a whole not available elsewhere in the northeast. Yes, the State will pay taxes on Boreas Ponds for all purposes. But forest-related tourism in the Adirondack Park exceeds $500 million in direct spending each year; a decade-old study of hikers, cyclists, kayakers and canoeists in the Adirondacks showed that they spent on the average $22 – $31 daily during their trips in the Park, and spent $211 – $342 annually (Omohundro 2002). They spent money on food and lodging during their trip in the Adirondacks and used gear purchased in the Adirondack Park which was worth $75 - $115.
Updated studies may soon reveal even more direct as well as significant indirect local and regional spending, especially if North Hudson, Essex and Hamilton counties and the state coordinated their efforts to encourage and promote wilderness tourism, guiding, and other businesses, including local lodging. What if North Hudson worked with Newcomb, Long Lake and Indian Lake to market wilderness visitation and business development reliant upon wilderness for the entire 65,000-acre Finch acquisition? The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. What would people be willing to spend to protect and preserve places like Boreas Ponds even if they never had a chance to physically reach such places? These figures are estimated to dwarf the actual direct and indirect spending. What if New York State placed a value on the carbon that will be sequestered from these protected forests forever, and that these economic values reached the local level? There are many opportunities to be seized at Boreas Ponds and other Finch lands if there is a vision and a level of collaboration among local, county and state governments that seems as rare as the wilderness resource itself.
I think if you view the wilderness at Boreas Ponds, and its connection to the High Peaks Wilderness comprehensively, and stretch your vision of the many economic and non-market opportunities that fall under this Adirondack wilderness brand, you could reach the conclusion that this precious area should be managed as Wilderness.

Bryan Cook brings Erotic Fan Fiction competition to the Bug Theatre
The Erotic Fan Fiction competition will bring its twisted competition to Denver this Thursday. Led by Bryan Cook, comedy writer for Joan Rivers's Fashion Police, the contest tasks professional comics to arrive with their own piece of erotic fan fiction on anything from Facts of Life to Of Mice and Mine, perform it, then quickly scribble and perform another story of the audience's choosing. A national hit on the comedy-festival circuit, the show has found a home in L.A.'s Nerdist Theater and will soon be releasing episodes on the Nerdist Podcast Network. Phoning in from the road, Bryan Cook chatted with us about Denver's all-star EFF performer Ben Roy, comedy literature and why sex is always funny. Bryan Cook will host competitive Erotic Fan Fiction at the Bug Theatre.

Westword: This show has been such a success at the Nerdist theater and different comedy festivals -- what made you want to bring it to Denver?
Bryan Cook: Well, I did it a year ago in Denver, but that was just taking over the Fine Gentleman's Club for a night, so it was their crowd. I love the Denver comedy scene; I come out every six months or so and have done standup at Grawlix. And for this show I needed a talent pool to pull from, and Denver has enough really great comics that I can do it there.
Is this a one-off show, or would you like to regularly stop in and host this at the Bug?
For now this is a one-off, but I'm going to try and do it at least three to four times a year in Denver. I like to get out there, anyway, so this is a good excuse to come do comedy in Denver. I do it in Portland and New York City every three months, so I'm hoping to put Denver into that routine.
What first got you plugged in to the Denver comedy scene?
There's a comedy festival in Portland called Bridgetown, and just over two years ago I met Andrew Orvedahl and Adam Cayton-Holland there. We hit it off, and they made the offer to do Grawlix if I was ever in town the last Friday of the month. And I just happened to be there two months later for a wedding. So I did the show and met Ben Roy, and then did Fine Gentleman's Club and met all those guys.
Did the idea for this show spring from you being into fan fiction?
No, not even a little bit. I had a standup friend in Seattle who wrote a piece of erotic fan fiction for the movie Cars. And he read it as a joke at a regular standup show and it bombed -- it was hilarious how little the crowd gave a shit. I was doing an annual Valentine's Day comedy show at the time, and we decided to incorporate an erotic fan fiction competition into that. And then it became its own thing, because it was so popular.
So it's been a huge success in New York, Portland, New Orleans, Boston, L.A. -- everywhere except Seattle, for some reason. It's hard to get people to come out to a show in Seattle unless you've got a big headliner.
Standup comedy isn't always known as the most intellectual medium -- and even though it's a strange premise, you are introducing a literary style to standup with this. Is that hard for some audiences?
That's a good question. There are definitely people who have gotten the wrong idea about what it's going to be, but still had a good time. The last time I did it in San Francisco it was a midnight show at Punchline, just a regular old standup comedy club with a very standard comedy-club crowd. There was even a bachelorette party there, which is usually the biggest nightmare for any comedy show. But it was great, they loved it; it was actually a perfect fit for that crowd. The show is both highbrow and lowbrow, and I think it appeals to a lot of different people for that reason.
Do you get a lot of fan fiction crowds showing up who might not often go to comedy shows?
I get that vibe in Los Angeles, for sure. I don't know what the makeup of the crowd is in other cities. I tend to do it in a pretty wide variety of venues, from comedy clubs to improv theaters to rock venues. But in L.A. it's at the Nerdist Theater, which is in the back of a comic-book shop -- so I think we do get more of a comic-book crowd who might actually think fan fiction is interesting.

CVC Capital Partners Ltd. and Leonard Green & Partners LP are among the firms in talks with Safeway Inc. (SWY) about buying some or all of the grocery chain as it weighs a sale, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Cerberus Capital Management LP is also discussing options with the retailer, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private. While the firms are looking at acquiring the entire company, they're more interested in cherry-picking assets in certain regions, such as California, said the people. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is working with Safeway as it explores possibilities, one person said.
Safeway, the second-largest U.S. grocery-store chain, said today it's in talks about a potential sale of the company as it divests some assets and struggles to increase revenue. No agreement has been reached and there is no assurance a deal will be completed, the Pleasanton, California-based company said in the statement.
KKR & Co. bought Safeway in 1986 for about $4.3 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The retailer went public in 1990.
Leonard Green and CVC, which jointly own big-box wholesale chain BJ's Wholesale Club Inc., could team up to do a deal, one of the people said.
Representatives for CVC, Leonard Green, Cerberus, KKR and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Brian Dowling, a spokesman for Safeway, didn't immediately respond to a phone call and e-mail seeking comment.
Safeway has been simplifying its operations and recently sold its 72 Dominick's stores in the Chicago area after divesting its Canadian business and conducting an initial public offering of gift-card unit Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
The company said today sales rose 0.2 percent to $36.1 billion last year as U.S. supermarket revenue stagnates. Researcher IBISWorld Inc. in July projected sales at U.S. grocers would increase 0.2 percent to $517.8 billion in 2013 after declining 0.4 percent in 2012.
Safeway has about 1,335 stores in the U.S. Kroger Co., based in Cincinnati, is the largest U.S. supermarket chain.

"If Alibaba wanted to defraud investors, it absolutely could," Mr. Block, the founder of Muddy Waters Research, told an audience of accounting students and aspiring investors at Baruch College in Manhattan on Wednesday. Mr. Block, 38, belongs to a small group of short-sellers who cut their teeth digging up corporate misdeeds on Chinese companies listed in the United States. "China is to stock fraud as Silicon Valley is to technology," Mr. Block said, adding that this reality should weigh on Alibaba's stock price when it lists in New York next week, in what could be the largest stock debut ever in the United States. Mr. Block didn't offer any evidence of fraud at Alibaba, but was using the company to illustrate a broader point. [Dealbook]

Excellent sack for your stick. Good zippers.....just enough room for size 11 boots - any bigger might be a bit of a cram. My only complaint is that it could have used a bit thicker padding on the edge side opposite of the carrying handle. After loading it up, there was a distinct "thunk" when I set it on the pavement the first time.....since then I have placed my pants, jackets and other soft stuff on the bottom and I am "thunkless".

That's not a terrible idea for new hires. I just don't see it working for additional training for a current employee. If you're going to temporarily cut my pay in order to send me to a training class, then I'm essentially just paying for the training myself.
Re:Training! (1201 comments)
There's ways around that. Some companies put a repayment clause in the employment contract. The clauses basically say that if you receive training and quit in a certain period of time (3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc), then you are responsible for paying the company back for the training costs.

The big difference for me is in turnaround time.

Adding to that, a lot of the items on Newegg have free shipping as well, not free shipping on orders over $25, just plain old free shipping.

Right! Drugs ruins lives... just ask Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bloomberg, etc...Look how they've fallen into poverty. I can't speak to their use of prostitutes.
The most dangerous thing about most drugs is what will happen to you if you're arrested with them. Fucking drug warrior morons who believe that drugs are illegal because they're dangerous, and they're dangerous because they're illegal.

My way of dealing with this is asking them what happens if someone logs in as you and sends a nasty e-mail to your boss? The systems would then show that the user had sent this nasty e-mail to their boss... then ask them what happens when a bad e-mail gets sent to the All Employees distribution list. After explaining it this way, I've actually seen some users take the time to lock their systems up when they get up to get a cup of coffee.
Until you can show some way that it would cause them harm, they won't care... once it's their ass on the line, they start to understand how it can hurt them.

Re:It's shocking (98 comments)
Fucked combat? It wasn't through time you fell through, it was from an alternative universe . Combat in FO3 is stellar
... for what it is trying to be, namely a Roleplaying Game. It is not a FPS, never was intended to be (nor were the previous Fallout instances). You are supposed to use VATS in most circumstances. The only ones I can think of where you don't use VATS are
* very easy foes (radroaches after you reached a certain level, for example)
* whenever you don't have any action points left but don't want/can't wait. In that case, and here I might be mistaken, your luck (the game stat) plays a bigger role in whether you'll hit or not than during VATS events where your skills are more important.
There's another time VATS fails. Sniping. I can line up a sniper shot and hit 90% of the time or better (outside of VATS), and only have a chance of 20% or less inside of VATS.
The other issues with Fallout 3 were the ending (which actually keeps you from continuing), the fact they made power armor shitty, the technical issues, and the PIPBoy issues with the Survival edition that Bethesda is ignoring...
"Lucas: Well, it's not a religious event. I hate to tell people that. It's a movie, just a movie. The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original] to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn't. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo is the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These postcards turned out wonderful! My fiancé and I had our engagement pictures taken in early November so the background was a mixture of orange, brown and green. The green in the font matched the pictures perfectly! So happy with how they turned out I just ordered my invitations from here as well!"
"Great quality and loved the design. It was simple and easy to customize. Got my order days before they said it would arrive!"
"Wedding paper divas was recommended to me by friends that have utilized the website in the past. I was skeptical at first about ordering online. However, I feel choosing Wedding Paper Divas was THE BEST decision I could have made. Our Save the Dates arrived quickly and are absolutely stunning. The quality of the paper is outstanding (and we didn't even upgrade)!"
"Ordering these save the dates was a whole lot simpler than I anticipated, and I ended up with exactly what I wanted- a cute, personal, and fun card--just like me and my fiance. The paper and printing was perfect, and they arrived to me super quick. BEAUTIFUL!"
"I love the simplistic design of the card. I chose to write a bit about our love story on the back and had a professional proof done. The Wedding Paper Divas teams was great. Morgan did a great job of proofing the cards and suggesting that we keep all text lowercase to match the design. So far I've shown my family and bridal party and they love the paper, design, and think they're modern and cute."

The fall 2000 collection, the first without Blass at the helm, was put together by Yvonne Miller, a longtime Blass muse who also handled public relations for the house. Steven Slowik became the first designer to replace Blass, but he was shown the door after his first collection failed to ignite editors, retailers and Blass' loyal Park Avenue fan base. Replacement Lars Nilsson brought in a fresh sensibility, attracted a younger clientele and garnered more favorable reviews by editors and socialites, but he was rarely consulted on company decisions or licensing matters. The company claimed his collections underperformed, and he and his design team were let go the day after he showed his sixth collection for the house in February 2003.
At the time, it was rumored that Miller had created her own Blass collection and privately showed it to retailers while plotting to bring in Vollbracht, an old friend of the late Blass, fashion designer and illustrator, who had his own line in the Eighties.
Vollbracht hired Deborah Hughes as the company's external public relations firm, which unleashed a power struggle between Miller and Hughes, and resulted in Miller's dismissal in 2003. Relations between Vollbracht and Hughes have since soured, and the company dismissed Hughes after the February show, hiring Victoria Ashley to handle its public relations efforts in-house.
Vollbracht's first few collections were poorly received by editors, though reviews have recently improved. Where other houses' rejuvenation efforts involve bringing in a younger customer, Vollbracht made little secret of the fact that he targeted women over age 50. As a muse, he picked Karen Bjornson, Halston's house model in the Seventies, and she appeared in his first few runway shows alongside other older models like Pat Cleveland, Dianne deWitt and Sarah Kapp.
From a fashion point of view, his designs often seemed dated. They ranged from boxy suits to wide pleated pants and flowing evening gowns. Of the fall 2005 collection, WWD wrote, "While it appears that Vollbracht is trying to come into his own — he even cut out the camp — he still has work to do. Some of the evening numbers were way too sheer, showing some front-row editors more than they bargained for, and one iridescent silk suit with a feather underskirt peeking out from underneath would certainly not have passed muster with Blass."

Game Notes: Mizzou | Fan Guide | Fan Promotions |
TIGER TALES - No. 13 Mizzou Softball (32-12, 9-6 SEC) continues Southeastern Conference action at home with Ole Miss (April 18-19), with the Tigers riding a streak of three-straight league series wins. In recent conference action, Mizzou picked up all three possible wins at No. 20 Auburn (April 11-13). The sweep of the ranked AU squad brought Mizzou's season total for wins over ranked opponents to eight. Dating back to the series-opening, 8-6 win over No. 13 Georgia (March 28), the Tigers have won seven of nine SEC contests.
• Head coach Ehren Earleywine's squad will look to right the ship vs. Ole Miss after a tough set of games at Iowa on Wednesday, April 16. The Tigers were handed setbacks in the doubleheader (3-1, 13-9), although standout days were had by redshirt sophomore OF Taylor Gadbois and redshirt sophomore SS Sami Fagan. The duo batted 5-for-8 (.625) and 4-for-6 (.667), respectively, with the normally infield-playing Fagan making her first two starts of the season at catcher. Gadbois stole four bases, two in each game.
• Stop, thief! Gadbois leads the SEC in stolen bases with her 38 swipes in 2014. Her 0.85 stolen bases per game (heading into the week) ranked seventh in the nation. Her success on the base paths this season now ranks in Mizzou's single-season Top 10 for stolen bases at seventh.
• Just a freshman? Mizzou freshman P Tori Finucane was recognized for her first-year exploits on April 17, as the Tiger hurler was named a Top 25 Finalist for the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's inaugural Division I National Freshman of the Year trophy. Finucane has been impressive in 2014, compiling a 1.86 ERA in 127.2 innings of work for a 14-5 record.
• Several Tigers stood out in the sweep at Auburn (April 11-April 13). The initial, 4-2 win of the series saw junior 3B/C Angela Randazzo's two-run home run prove to be the difference in the win. Fagan recorded two RBI in the victory. Finucane did not allow an earned run in her win (6.0 IP) in the circle. Freshman P/1B/OF Casey Stangel earned the Tigers' first save of the season to close out the game.
• April 12 belonged to Mizzou's seniors. Senior OF Mackenzie Sykes set career highs in home runs (2) and RBI (6) in a 3-for-4 batting day to power Mizzou to an 8-7 win. Fellow senior P Alora Marble entered in relief, throwing 3.2 innings and shutting down Auburn over the final two innings with zero hits allowed and a game-ending strikeout. The win was Marble's first career SEC win, but not her last of the weekend.
• A group effort of home runs sealed the sweep for Mizzou on April 13, a 7-6 Tiger win over Auburn. Junior 1B Kelsea Roth got Mizzou out to a 4-0 lead with one swing, her first grand slam of 2014 and fourth of her career. The game tightened, but the bats remained hot, as both junior IF Corrin Genovese and freshman IF/OF Kelli Schkade hit solo home runs in the top of the seventh to help the Tigers maintain their advantage. Marble appeared in relief for a second consecutive day to earn the win (5-0), pitching 3.0 innings with just one earned run allowed.
• Calling Mizzou a hot-hitting squad is an understatement. Three Tigers are currently having seasons at the plate that rank among the best in program history. The team leader in batting average, Gadbois has compiled a .451 mark, which currently ranks second only to former Mizzou star and three-time All-American Rhea Taylor's .452 average from 2010. Sophomore 2B/OF Emily Crane has stood with a .411 batting average since being sidelined with her leg injury.
• Genovese continued her top-notch conference hitting into a third league series, batting 7-for-11 (.636) in Mizzou's three wins at Auburn, including a 3-for-3 game to start the series. The Tiger infielder, once known exclusively for her glove, sits atop the conference with a .462 batting average in SEC games.
• Schkade was named SEC Freshman of the Week (April 14), showing a clutch bat for Mizzou in the sweep-clinching, 7-6 win at No. 20 Auburn (April 13), as she launched a solo home run to left center field with two outs in the top of the seventh inning to put her squad up 7-5. The home run was just one swing of an overall 6-for-16 (.375) week to help Mizzou record a perfect 5-0 record. The midweek doubleheader vs. WIU (April 9) included a superb performance by Schkade, as she went 3-for-4 at the plate with a single, double and triple in the 5-0 nightcap win.
THE OPPOSITION - OLE MISS - Ole Miss (22-22, 3-12 SEC) was swept at home by Mizzou last season in the two programs' first series meeting as Southeastern Conference foes. The Tigers won the three games (March 15-17, 2013) in Oxford, Miss., by scores of 11-0 (5), 6-1 and 12-0 (5).
• The Rebels are led in batting by one of just two players in the SEC with a higher batting average than Mizzou's Gadbous. RT Cantillo has built a .467 batting average and leads Ole Miss with 57 hits.
• Six different pitchers have seen time in the circle for Ole Miss in 2014, but just three with the majority. Carly Hummel (3.07 ERA) leads the way with 111.2 innings, while Shelby Jo Fenter (3.27 ERA) and Emily Gaitan (3.90 ERA) follow with 60.0 and 55.2 innings pitched.
• In SEC action, opponents have outscored the Rebels by a 109-62 margin, while also being out-hit, 127-100. Only Hummel (10 appearances) and Gaitan (eight appearances) have pitched during conference action for Ole Miss.

Helping Serious Students Excel in MCAT Verbal
- The Cambridge Learning Center specializes in MCAT Verbal Preparation.
- Our unique courses focus on the fundamentals of language and critical reading
- Students learn the skills they need to achieve a score of 10 or better.
- Students also learn proven neuroscience exercises to eliminate test anxiety and increase brain functionality
Free Live Online Class
In addition to our Video Mini Course, we invite you to attend a free online class with one of our faculty where we go into greater detail on the MCAT Verbal Test and also give you an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
MCAT Verbal Preparation
The first step in scoring a 10 or better on the Verbal Section of the MCAT is knowing what the test measures and what skills it requires you to master in order to succeed.
The MCAT Verbal Section measures your ability to:
- Be able to select the key ideas in a text;
- Understand them clearly;
- See how the key ideas are related in forming the argument in an essay
- Know what the text implies or what you can infer from it; and
- Know precisely what a question is asking for and how each answer selection does or does not answer the question.
MCAT Verbal Preparation
In order to determine which are the key ideas in a text, you must know some of the fundamentals of rhetoric: how essays are structured so that you can pick out the key sentences. Once you pick out these sentences, you have to know the fundamentals of grammar to determine what is most important in that sentence as opposed to what is just additional information or an example illustrating a point already made. You then need to be able to us reflective intelligence to reflect on and determine not only what a text says, but also what it suggests, what it implies, and what you can infer, the unstated meaning of a text.
The Cambridge Learning Center offers weekly information sessions on the MCAT Verbal Test where students can ask questions, learn the best ways to prepare for the exam on their own, receive free study materials, and find out about the courses offered by the Center.

OK! So let's have some comic relief on this board. Selling a home is very stressfull with the daily cleaning, straightening up, making sure the toilet seats are down and the roll is filled (I can't belive how many little rolls of TP we are now using up now that we are under contract!!), the inconvenient appointments, etc. What crazy, unusual, funny, emabarrasing,(and so on, you get the picture!) have you encountered when your house was/is on the market?
I have a ton and will be posting them, but the one my husband and I still talk about is when we sold our first home 25 years ago. After being on the market for a few weeks with not much activity all of a sudden our adorable tiny starter home (the lowest priced on MLS for our town) became the "it" house to see and we had five appointments in one evening. My DH arrived home early from work because he came down with the flu. He was really under the weather and after not much activity before this, there was just no way we would cancel them. I built a roaring fire (to keep him warm), had the scent of apple pie in the air and told my DH to sit on the couch, grab a book and look happy! As soon as the crowds left, he spent the night under the covers and fortunately was back on his feet the next day.
Follow-Up Postings:
I guess most all the people who have sold their houses have moved on from this forum. Usually the real estate agents have some real doozies to tell. My only story is that we lost power in our house for 24 hours two days before the house went up on the MLS. So just as we were frantically trying to finish up make the house picture perfect, we lost electricity, A/C (it was August) and WATER (we were on a well). We kept thinking that any moment the electricity would come back on - the power company was completely unhelpful with information. We slept in the basement that night on cushions from the outdoor furniture. An agent who had become aware of the listing called us directly to get a jump on seeing the house (height of the market). Talk about bad timing . . . I still feel bad about how I spoke to him. |

On an MLS Tour, one couple evidently hadn't gotten their voicemail from their agent warning them that we'd be trooping through... they were upstairs. in bed. watching dirty movies &.... you know. |

Cute story!!! I don't have any stories as we are currently first time home buyers... |
Kind of odd... The last place we sold was a Brooklyn co-op apartment with western exposures in every room, meaning there was glorious afternoon light and a stunning sunset over the harbor and lower tip of Manhattan every evening. Everyone who saw the place raved about the view...except one couple who spent over an hour in the place and decided they couldn't see the sunset because they were distracted by the rooftop in between the apartment and the river. The place was one block from the riverfront, so there was one set of rooftops to look over, and those were a story below the apartment's windows. And they were benign, normal, unobtrusive rooftops - no roofdecks or water towers, just flat rooftops. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees! |

Who would have known a race car driver would beat a Spice girl on the dance floor? Helio Castroneves took home the "Dancing With the Stars" trophy on Tuesdsy night beating front runner Melanie Brown.
"It will look so good between my two Indy 500 trophies," Castroneves said after his win. This comes as a big shock to us, we really believed Melanie would win, since she's got girl power and was far more polished as far as her performances go. Even Castroneves was shocked that he won as he revealed after the show,"I was not expecting it. Mel, she's an incredible dancer."
The highlight of the night was seeing attention lover Marie Osmond get the boot. She may be going through a tough time in her personal life but home-girl needs to realize she's not 16.
