Lower unemployment rates, falling gas prices and increased consumer confidence position the national and Tennessee economies for continued recovery and strong growth in 2015 and beyond, according to the 2015 Economic Report to the Governor of the State of Tennessee. Tennessee's short-term economic outlook largely resembles that of the nation. According to the report, Tennessee's unemployment rate will average 6.5 percent this year while nonfarm employment is expected to grow by 1.8 percent. For a full discussion of these and other findings, the full forecast report is available here.

Your 15-Minute No-Fail Workout
Diet not doing it? Just add exercise, says fitness guru Jim Karas, and watch how quickly you'll lose.
By Jim Karas
If you've been reading the media reports, I'll bet you're confused about how much exercise you need in order to lose weight. Is it 30 minutes a day or 60? Does it have to be done all at once, or can it be broken up? Should it be cardio or strength training? Well, I have an answer that cuts through the conflicting information: You can build muscle and burn fat in just 15 minutes a day no cardio and no gym! After a few weeks of this compound strength program, you'll end up with lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories than fat does, even when you're just sitting in a chair. It's a no-fail weight-loss workout, and here's the only catch: You need to do it four to six days a week. Grab your hand weights and set your timer your workout solution starts now!
Instructions: Perform two sets of 10 to 12 reps of each exercise, starting with five-pound weights. Move slowly through each rep, counting to four on the way up and on the way down. Each set should take one minute. When you no longer feel muscle strain, move up to eight-pound weights.
One-Arm Row, Starting Position
1. Place your right hand on a surface three feet off the ground (try a small table, a piano bench or a stability ball). Hold weight in your left hand, palm facing hip. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, toes forward.
Works: Back, lower back, shoulders, arms, abs and legs
One-Arm Row, The Move
Squat with Shoulder Press, Starting Position
1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, toes forward. Hold weights at shoulder level. Inhale, lowering body into a squat until hamstrings are parallel to floor, keeping knees behind toes.
Works: Legs, shoulders and arms
Squat with Shoulder Press, The Move
Against the Wall Biceps Curl, Starting Position
1. Sit against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart, toes forward, weights in each hand, palms up and knees at a 45-degree angle to the wall.
Works: Legs, abs and arms
Against the Wall Biceps Curl, The Move
Lunge with Shoulder Raise, Starting Position
1. Stand in lunge position with knees slightly bent, left foot forward, right foot back, toes forward, weight evenly distributed. Hold weights in both hands, palms facing your body. Lower into the lunge.
Works: Legs, glutes, shoulders and arms
Lunge with Shoulder Raise, The Move
Push-up with Gluteal Squeeze, Starting Position
1. Position yourself on your hands and knees with a weight within reach. Pull in abs toward your lower back. Place the dumbbell in the crook in the back of your left knee and squeeze your lower leg to keep the dumbbell in place.
Works: Chest, triceps, shoulders, abs, glutes and hamstrings
Push-up with Gluteal Squeeze, The Move
Ab Crunches with Weight, Starting Position
1. Lie on the floor with your knees up and both hands holding one dumbbell close to your chest, above your breasts.
Works: Abs

Britain's MI5 has warned corporate leaders that foreign spies and agents are recruiting IT employees to get access to classified information.
The Financial Times, which quoted anonymous Whitehall officials, said that MI5 spoke to corporate executives on the matter of increasing their "digital defences".
Officials warned that IT staff are vulnerable to honey-traps, and insider threats such as espionage from within a company go overlooked by most firms.
The FT said: "Grooming a source with access to highly sensitive information used to be a process that cold war spymasters would spend years orchestrating, but now, even the most junior IT employees can be highly coveted intelligence assets thanks to their often wide-ranging network privileges."
Cyber-attacks are ranked as a "tier 1 threat" by the UK's national security risk assessment. This is defined as an event that will probably occur, and with it bring major impact.
Ross Brewer, vice president of LogRhythm, said: "By traditionally focusing on external hackers, businesses have often ended up overlooking the significant security threat posed by those on the inside. Used to nameless, faceless perpetrators, it's understandably more difficult to accept that the culprit may be sat right next to them, however continuing to ignore this could now lead to catastrophic consequences.
"Indeed, employees of all levels - from the CEO all the way down to the junior IT assistant - are in the frame and could potentially expose data that threatens not just the company, but the entire nation's secrets. With threats coming from all angles, businesses now more than ever need to be aware of exactly what is happening across their IT network at all times. To gain this level of visibility, proactive continuous monitoring of all activity must be in place.
"After all, these foreign agencies will be teaching their targets the most sophisticated tactics in order to help them bypass traditional security tools and access company information undetected. As the insider threat gets bigger, ignorance is no longer bliss - only by taking control and monitoring both external and internal activity will businesses be able to compete with the bad guys."

Nektar Therapeutics' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Transcript
Now, I would like to hand the call over to Howard Robin.
Howard Robin
Thank you Jennifer, and thanks to everyone for joining us this afternoon. Nektar continues to make significant progress this year advancing our clinical and preclinical programs and greatly strengthening our financial position. I would like to give you a business update and then hand the call over to John for a review of financials. Last month, we completed a $125 million private placement of Senior Secured Notes that strengthens our balance sheet without any dilution to our shareholders.
These Notes, which have no equity or warrants associated with them, are due in July of 2017 and callable by Nektar beginning in July of 2015. Importantly, the notes have no financial performance targets and we retain the freedom to operate our business as we have in the past, including, for example, our ability to enter into collaborative transactions or monetize royalties.
We are very pleased with this transaction which we believe reflects the strength of Nektar's proven technology and our late-stage pipeline. The placement of these secured notes builds on the $124 million sale of nonstrategic royalties that we completed in the first quarter of this year. Funds from these two transactions will be used to repay the remaining balance on our convertible debt which is due in September of this year. This will eliminate the significant dilution associated with convertible debt for Nektar. After repayment of the convertible debt, we now expect to end 2012 with approximately $300 million in cash and investments which should give us multiple years of working capital and bring us through many important potential product milestones. Now I'd like to review the significant progress we've made with our clinical pipeline in the past quarter. Let me start first with an update on naloxegol, a peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist being developed by AstraZeneca as a once-daily oral tablet for the chronic treatment of opioidinduced constipation or OIC. In 2011, AstraZeneca initiated a global and comprehensive Phase 3 clinical program for naloxegol. The planned registration package will include two pivotal studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of naloxegol in patients with chronic non-cancer pain, a 6-month extension study, and a long-term safety study. The two pivotal placebo-controlled studies each include an estimatedCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

OMG! How DARE Starbucks try to make money in the land of magic and princesses! Bad move, SBUX, bad move.
"Main Street, U.S.A. serves as the entrance to Disney's theme parks worldwide. It's like a quaint American small town from a century ago, where everyone carries smartphones in their fanny packs. Change has come to Main Street, and some Disney fans are more than a little upset that the Main Street Bakery will now serve a full menu of authentic, turn-of-the-century Starbucks beverages. "
Ok, just kidding. But seriously, it's ridiculous the things people get themselves worked up about.
June 20, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Yeah, I mean, Starbucks is gonna be Starbucks, people. If they can set up shop across the street from the Tower of London, they can do it in Disney World. The whole thing is set up to sell merchandise anyway — may as well be more useful than a backpack shaped like Mickey or whatever.
June 22, 2013 at 10:15 pm
It makes sense for Starbucks – Disney always has heavy foot traffic, some of them are bound to want have a drink of coffee. If Starbucks can make money by setting up shops in supermarkets, then they can be profitable in Disney. And, in addition to share of revenue, I do not see any drawbacks for Disney either.

You can run, but you cannot hide from seeing every inch of the former Disney star's naked body. Less than a week after several nude pics of Dylan leaked online, another WAY more revealing photo surfaced on Dec. 22. So what funny things will Dylan tweet about this most recent full-frontal faux pas?
Apparently Dylan Sprouse's ex-girlfriend, the one who leaked his naked selfies in the first place on Dec. 16, has a whole gallery of full-frontal shots, because on Dec. 22, a new pic leaked online — and in it nothing, not even Dylan's hands, are in the way of the Disney star's most private part!
Dylan Sprouse: New Naked Photo Surfaces
That's right. The most revealing pic in the Dec. 16 series of Dylan had him cupping his twig and berries in futile effort of self-censorship, but this newest pic is a hands-free job. So if you were upset that the first series of pics weren't totally all-access, then congratulations (See the uncensored pic here).
We're also going to pray and pray and pray that Dylan just got out of the shower when he took this selfie, because we don't want to posit any other explanations for why his chest is so wet.
Judging from the background in the picture (we had to focus our eyes on something else, didn't we?), it seems like this most recent pic was taken along with Dylan's other XXX photos, so apparently the leaker — Dylan's ex — just wanted to make sure there was interest before dropping the main event (hopefully that's not what Dylan actually calls his penis).
Dylan Sprouse Responds To His Naked Pics Scandal
We wonder if the Suite Life of Zack & Cody star is going to have more witty responses to this latest photo. After the initial leak, Dylan was totally game and shameless, hitting up Twitter to address the scandal head on with a slew of funny tweets:
Whoops, guess I'm not 14 and fat anymore
— Dylan Sprouse (@dylansprouse) December 16, 2013
I messed up… but I'd be a fool not to own up to it. Got to move past it I suppose
— Dylan Sprouse (@dylansprouse) December 16, 2013
At least you can't see my third testicle
— Dylan Sprouse (@dylansprouse) December 16, 2013
We'll let you know if Dylan says anything more, or if more revealing pics of Dylan come out. At this point, anything is possible.

From the November 1979 Washingtonian
We would go months without bathing, except when we could stand naked among each other next to a village well or in a stream or in the muddy water of a bomb crater. It was nothing to begin walking at midnight, laden with packs and weapons and ammunition and supplies, seventy pounds or more of gear, and still be walking when the sun broke over mud-slick paddies that had sucked our boots all night. We carried our own gear and when we took casualties we carried the weapons of those who had been hit.
When we stopped moving we started digging, furiously throwing out the heavy soil until we had made chest-deep fighting holes. When we needed to make a call of nature we squatted off a trail or straddled a slit trench that had been dug between fighting holes, always by necessity in public view. We slept in makeshift hooches made out of ponchos, or simply wrapped up in a poncho, sometimes so exhausted that we did not feel the rain fall on our own faces. Most of us caught hookworm, dysentery, malaria, or yaws, and some of us had all of them.
We became vicious and aggressive and debased, and reveled in it, because combat is all of those things and we were surviving. I once woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of one of my machinegunners stabbing an already-dead enemy soldier, emptying his fear and frustrations into the corpse's chest. I watched another of my men, a wholesome Midwest boy, yank the trousers off a dead woman while under fire, just to see if he really remembered what it looked like.
We killed and bled and suffered and died in a way that Washington society, which seems to view service in the combat arms as something akin to a commute to the Pentagon, will never comprehend. And our mission, once all the rhetoric was stripped away, was organized mayhem, with emphasis on both words. For it is organization and leadership, as well as the interdependence sometimes called camaraderie, that sustain a person through such a scarring experience as fighting a war.
These are not separate issues, either politically or philosophically. They are visible peaks in what has become a vast bog. They are telling us something about the price we are paying, in folly on the one hand and in tragedy on the other, for the realignment of sexual roles.
Lest I be understood too quickly, I should say that I believe most of what has happened over the past decade in the name of sexual equality has been good. It is good to see women doctors and lawyers and executives. I can visualize a woman President. If I were British, I would have supported Margaret Thatcher. But no benefit to anyone can come from women serving in combat.
The function of combat is not merely to perpetrate violence, but to perpetrate violence on command, instantaneously and reflexively.The function of the service academies is to prepare men for leadership positions where they may someday exercise that command. All of the other accomplishments that Naval Academy or West Point or Air Force Academy graduates may claim in government or business or diplomacy are incidental to that clearly defined combat mission.
American taxpayers dip into their pockets to pay $100,000 for every Naval Academy graduate. They are buying combat leaders, men with a sense of country who have developed such intangibles as force, clarity of thought, presence, and the ability to lead by example, who have lived under stress for years and are capable of functioning under intense pressure. When war comes and the troops move out, our citizens can assume that the academies have provided a nucleus of combat leaders who can carry this country on their backs.
Other officer programs are capable of producing combat leaders, but the academies have traditionally guaranteed it, made it their reason for existence. Forty percent of West Point's class of 1943 died in World War II and ten percent of the class of 1966 died in Vietnam. The POW camps of North Vietnam were packed with Air Force and Naval Academy graduates. The six midshipmen in my Naval Academy class of 1968 who served as liaisons between the Marine Corps and the Brigade of Midshipmen later suffered nine Purple Hearts in Vietnam, and one man killed in action. As Douglas MacArthur said in his "Long Gray Line" speech to the West Point graduating class of 1962, "Your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable— it is to win our wars. Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes . . . will find others for their accomplishment; but you are the ones who are trained to fight; yours is the profession of arms."
So it had been at the military academies since they were established — West Point in 1802, the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1845, the Air Force Academy in 1954— and so it would have continued to be had not Public Law 94-106, passed in 1975. decreed that women be brought into this quintessentially male world.
There is a place for women in our military, but not in combat. And their presence at institutions dedicated to the preparation of men for combat command is poisoning that preparation. By attempting to sexually sterilize the Naval Academy environment in the name of equality, this country has sterilized the whole process of combat leadership training, and our military forces are doomed to suffer the consequences.
Civilian political control over the military is a good principle, but too many people, especially those involved in the political process, have lost their understanding of what that principle means. The classic example of a military force beyond control of its country's political system occurred during World War II in the Japanese Imperial Army, which took over Manchuria on its own initiative and informed the Japanese government after it had done so. The Japanese military machine was exercising its own judgment, not that of its nation. In attempting to avoid this extreme, the United States is dangerously near falling into the World War II German pratfall: a military system so paralyzed in every detail by the politcal process that it ceases to be able to control even its internal policies.
Civilian arrogance permeates our government, and during my two years on Capitol Hill was particularly strong on the staffs of the "consistent dissenters" of the Armed Services Committee. It was bad enough when the Vietnam war was being fought from Washington, DC. It was worse when McNamara and his whiz kids began social experimentation by instituting "Project 100,000," whereupon 100,000 borderline intellects were dumped into the military, and the military was then faulted for having failed to make them good soldiers (Harvard and Yale at that time having decided to sit out the war, and Johnson choosing to go after the mental rejects rather than the deferred leaders of tomorrow). But it has become absolutely intolerable during the 1970s. The military has a politician's toy, a way to accommodate interest groups without losing political support in the home district. a test tube for social experimentation.
Nowhere is this more of a problem than in the area of women's political issues. Equal-opportunity specialists, women's rights advocates, and certain members of Congress have prided themselves on the areas of the military they have "opened up" to women. The Carter administration has come out in favor of "allowing" women to go into combat. These advocates march under the banner of equal opportunity.
Equal opportunity for what? They should first understand that they would not be "opening up" the combat arms for those few women who might now want to serve in them, but rather would be forcing American womanhood into those areas, en masse, should a future mobilization occur.
The United States is the only country of any size on earth where the prospect of women serving in combat is being seriously considered. Even Israel, which continually operates under near-total mobilization requirements, does not subject its women to combat or combat-related duty. Although some 55 percent of Israeli women— as opposed to 95 percent of the men— serve in the Israeli Defense Forces, the women have administrative and technical jobs that require little or no training.

Weekly Rosemond Column: Video Games -- A Parent's story
John RosemondWhen video games first came out, I warned my readers that they were not appropriate for children. I maintained they were not games; rather, they produced stress and were addictive, literally. It was not a popular stance. Even my home paper, The Charlotte Observer, wrote an editorial critical of my position. Since then, my opinion has been confirmed by research, and hundreds of parents have shared with me their negative experiences with these nefarious devices. Their stories go in my "I Told You So" file. The following, written by the mother of several young children, is the latest addition.
The parents in question have always limited television-watching to weekend nights. Furthermore, their children have very few toys and those they do have are traditional and promote creative play (e.g., Lincoln Logs, "Legos"). The kids spend lots of time doing arts and crafts, inventing things, and making up games. For the most part, they get along very well. They have their squabbles, but they are rare and brief. The older children get good grades in school, do their chores without protest, and are respectful and obedient.
A while back, Dad said he wanted to buy the kids an X-Box for Christmas. Mom resisted at first, saying she'd heard that kids can become addicted to video games and that playing them can lead to aggressive behavior. In fact, the research indicates that those outcomes are fairly common. Nonetheless, Dad continued his campaign, and Mom finally relented. They agreed that the kids would only be allowed to play for a few hours a week.
Things started out fairly well, but went rapidly downhill. The children quickly became obsessed with their new "toy." Within a week, the first thing they were asking when they woke up in the morning was "Can we play the X-Box today?" When they played, there would be fighting and tears. When the parents turned it off, the kids would mope around and complain of having nothing to do. Were these the same children who, pre-X-Box, had never had a problem entertaining themselves? Actually, they were not the "same" children at all. They were beginning to exhibit addictive behavior, and as anyone who has ever lived with one will testify, an addict and the former non-addict are two entirely different people.
"Then," Mom writes, "my 5-year-old started telling me he didn't like school and didn't want to go. He even cried one morning. Only a few months previous he had loved school and couldn't wait to go. Needless to say, I was very alarmed.
"Keep in mind that my kids used to wake at 6:00 am and immediately dress and head down to their craft area to start building things and playing together. They always found ways to entertain themselves and I used to watch them and be amazed at how many different things they could dream up and how many games they could invent to play.
"I talked to my husband and he admitted he was beginning to question the wisdom of our decision. So we packed up the X-Box and put it away. There were some sad faces at first. This morning, however, we were all in the family room; my husband was reading the paper, my boys were all building a huge tower with their magnet building blocks and laughing and talking. It was just like it used to be on weekend mornings in our house."
I said to my husband, "Isn't this so much nicer than, 'Can we play the X-Box'" He said he was thinking the very same thing.
Mom ends her story with a warning to all parents: "I firmly believe that video games are dangerous to children and families. Do not buy one. You cannot control it."
Yep. I told you so.

Field Notes
Sunday 12:55 PM
For keen observers, a walk to the grocery store or a hike up a mountain can inspire questions. Where do magpies nest? Why doesn't a spider stick to its own web? How do water striders keep from sinking? Every week since 1992, Field Notes has inquired about Montana's natural history. Produced by the Montana Natural History Center, Field Notes are written by naturalists, students and listeners about the puzzle-tree bark, eagle talons, woolly aphids and giant puffballs of Western, Central and Southwestern Montana.

An eclectic mix of pop and rock from the 70s and 80s! - Many songs ripped from vinyl records! - Your favorite songs, singers and bands are here - plus many rare and obscure radio station promo 45s, album tracks and much more!
Hi! I'm a former jock from Benton Harbor, MI (WHFB-FM) and Chicago/Joliet, IL (WJTW-FM). I'm a former mobile-DJ, with over 1200 gigs to my credit.
Most of all, I'm a vinyl-record enthusiast, having owned over 200,000 singles, thousands of albums, CD's and mini-discs over my lifetime. I may also have a library of close to 400,000 .mp3's, mostly from my vinyl collection.
After "retiring" as a mobile DJ, I began this station. Using my vinyl collection and chart knowledge, I opened this music vinyl-based format. Since it's music you normally don't hear on radio stations, it is appropriately called "OffTheCharts!"
Currently, I live near Columbus, OH with a wife, daughter, dog, cat, etc. I'm a financial/investment professional by day and vinyl music-infatuated zombie at night.
Thanks for stopping to read and/or to listen to the best music and media format that lives here!

Cypress Hill's B-Real and Sen Dog Talk Weed, Rap, Punk, Gang Life, and Being Cuban
Categories: Concert Preview, Interviews
Cypress Hill's Sen Dog, B-Real, and Eric Bobo. |
Obviously, he and his South Gate homies -- Sen Dog, DJ Muggs, and Eric Bobo -- are legendary weed connoisseurs. They're also the original-gangsta kings of hyperviolent stoner-trap rap. And their rhymes have been soaked in the blood of Los Angeles since the 1980s.
But you might not know that these Westside locos are Cuban. While B-Real's mom and her family are from the island, Sen Dog was actually born in Pinar Del Rio. And before Senen Reyes ever stepped foot in L.A., he lived in Miami.

-Cypress Hill and Action Bronson Coming to "Get You High" at Grand Central Miami
-Cypress Hill's B Real: "Guys Who Smoke Weed Can Relate to Obama, I Support Him"
"In Cuba, my dad was a high school teacher," Sen Dog says. "The government wanted him to teach communism and Stalinism. He told them to fuck off, so they fired him and put him in the pen for a few years.
"One day, they released him and told him to get the fuck out. We left Cuba when I was eight years old, and we lived in Miami at this refugee apartment called Casa Libertad. It was an old hotel that had been done up to house temporary Cuban refugees, and we were there for, like, three months. The majority of my family is still in Cuba to this day. They were scared to try and leave and get mass murdered."
Sen's parents didn't want to "be around a bunch of Cubans," so they moved to California's South Gate neighborhood. He and his brother Melo Man Ace got into breakdancing, hip-hop, and smoking out with their homeboy Louis Freese, AKA B-Real.
Those early days were spent sneaking into downtown clubs like Alcohol Salad and The Radiotron to take turns rocking the mike. "I wasn't old enough to be there," remembers Real, "but Tony G was the DJ running shit back then, and we were friends with him and Julio G. He let us come in and kick rhymes every now and then, but I'd always choke.
"Sen and his brother would go and smash their verses. But I could never bust my rhymes and I wasn't great at freestyling. It was a cool time, man. That movement was kind of the early beginnings of what shaped hip-hop in L.A."
The street life surrounding the fun of club nights was truly dangerous, though. "I was involved in gangs for a good long time in my youth," Real says. "And one particular night, I was with some homies that I used to bang with. We were walkin' down the street to go get some weed, and we were on a thin line between Blood and Crip neighborhoods.
"We had left the strap at the house for some reason. These Crips rolled up and we said our proverbial fuck yous to each other. They started lettin' off shots, and one ricocheted off a wall, bounced through my back and hit my lung. I went to Killer King hospital [otherwise known as Martin Luther King Jr. Multi-Service Ambulatory Care Center], dealt with my injuries, and got out tryin' to be supergangster. That's the nature of it -- you get up, dust off, and get back to work."
The guys attended South Gate High School. "I had a couple of classes with Dave Lombardo from Slayer," Sen recalls. "He's Cuban too. My first live show ever was at South Gate High, seeing Slayer play at lunch. Dave would invite me to his shows. And from there, I started searching for more. Suicidal Tendencies were from across town in Venice, and they had that punk rocker cholo thing goin'. I was drawn in, like, 'Yeah, that's my shit.'"
And that's how hardcore punk and metal inspired the Hill to fearlessly mix genres, an artistic decision that led to a Sony deal and over 18 million in worldwide record sales. Instead of making the obvious jump into Latino rap, B-Real, Sen Dog, and crew teamed with Pearl Jam and Sonic Youth on the Judgment Night soundtrack, and struck a crossover goldmine.

Good little Grilling Stone
By BC Lady Rose
from British Columbia
I am enjoying this little Grilling Stone, for use in my oven AND on the barbecue. It is great for frozen pizzas, but I use it for many other things as well. When using the b-b-q, I can cook small things like chicken nuggets (nice for the granddaughter). I can cook up bacon, or even eggs on the b-b-q. Especially nice in the summer to avoid turning on a hot oven in the house, I have the versatility of using this Grilling Stone on the b-b-q to cook a variety of items!The ceramic coating makes clean-up quick and easy! The wire rack gives an added protection for whatever surface you have it on while "cooling".

Good so far
By Eve
from Moose Jaw
So far I've only used this to make frozen pizzas. I let the pizzas defrost for a little bit first, like the book says. It browns the crust very nicely. It takes about the same time as usual to cook in my oven. I do make my own dough sometimes, so I'll try that as well, although I don't know how I will transfer it to the hot stone. Washed up well, pizza did not stick at all. I have teflon pizza pans that stick, so this is very good in that respect. I was skeptical, but am satisfied with this purchase.

Wolgang Puck Grilling Stone
By everbreeze
from Tiny Ontario
I like the grilling stone, would be nice to have a small recipe book. Definitely needs a pizza paddle to make a nice looking pizza but if making a small personal size pizza you can get by without one.

Mrs. Jokla kept me after class to talk about my
so if you're gonna be all obnoxious in class and stuff (i mean it in a good way) why not be loud and obnoxious instead of, yknow, silent and fuming or whatever. i mean, if everyone's gonna say be a total idiot, why not be smart and funny and mean to them? you would probably be a lot less bored/annoyed and your teacher would probably actually like you more. at least she wouldn't be able to accuse you of not participating. and plus, you might be able to teach some people to be smarter. or else you would just make them feel dumb which is also fun.
(ps beautiful thing is like the suckiest movie ever. why does everyone like it so much?)

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver for BankMeridian, N.A., Columbia, South Carolina. As of March 31, 2011, the bank had approximately $239.8 million in total assets.
The OCC acted after finding that the bank had experienced substantial dissipation of assets and earnings due to unsafe or unsound practices. The OCC also found that the bank incurred losses that depleted its capital, the bank is critically undercapitalized, and there is no reasonable prospect that the bank will become adequately capitalized without federal assistance.
The FDIC will release information about the resolution of the bank.

A light version of the originalSubmitted by: PINPRESS
This bread is a must on the Thanksgiving table. This has been a tradition in our family for generations. I improved on a classic when I replaced the yeast for Quick-Rise and baked it at a higher temperature for a shorter time. Now, it's my job to make it every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It makes the best toast for breakfast!Submitted by: LINDAPB
