Bin Laden celebration too much or too early?
You knew it was big news when a presidential news conference is announced at 9:30 p.m. on a Sunday night. And it was big news – terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan. The reaction across the country and in most of the world has been that of euphoria, but Editor Don Whitten wonders if we are celebrating and partying a bit too much and a bit too soon. (May 2, 2011, Page 4A)
Youngster's song brings out the worst in critics
Rebecca Black. "It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday." Ring a bell now? Staff writer Alyssa Schnugg takes a closer look at the Internet uproar caused by a 13-year-old's music video, and wonders if we aren't being a bit too critical of the youngster and of something that's not that important in the scheme on things.

Dealing with storms very nerve-racking
People throughout Lafayette County and surrounding areas spent a hectic 24 hours or so dealing with storms, tornadoes and the threat of them, and will now begin dealing with the aftermath and helping those who suffered major damage. Editor Don Whitten takes a look back at Tuesday night and Wednesday, and hopes for a long spell without any more days like them. (April 28, 2011, Page 4)
Letters to the Editor
Danielle Grose writes to commend the faculty, staff and students at Lafayette Elementary School for their Tornado Action Plan and how they carried it out Wednesday, while Joanne Wilkinson writes to talk about the wonderful Aluminum Show that capped an excellent season of programming at the Ford Center. (April 28, 2011, Page 4)
Carr dealing with tragedy of house fire
Yes, bad things do happen to good people. Just ask Janice Carr, whose home and all her belongings were destroyed last week in a fire. Carr, who's involved in a large number of community-oriented projects and programs, is dealing with the loss, however, as Editor Don Whitten writes in explaining her positive approach to life's challenges. (April 27, 2011, Page 4)
Foolish Mistakes
Few aviators complete their careers without escaping dangerous incidents, usually when they have little flying experience. Local columnist Jimmy Reed relates the stories of his two big escapes, one when attempting a foolish maneuver and the other when he almost hit another aircraft. (April 26, 2011, Page 4)
Who will join Meridian in policing sagging?
The Meridian city council recently passed an amendment to the city's indecent exposure laws that outlaw wearing pants more than three inches below the hip. Editor Don Whitten wonders how long it will be before other cities and towns across the state take on sagging pants and baggy britches. (April 25, 2011, Page 4A)

Federer 17 slams is tough to match/break than you really believe. Because to reach that numbers, first you have to be incredibly talented, which Mac said Federer is like one in billion out there. You have to be almost injured free, always fit to play at a high level to give you a chance. You can't skip any slam, and limited to fewest upsets as possible. And you have to start winning slam at the early age, which isn't that possible like during the early days, again, all because the depth/strength of the field. Not to mention by the time you reach 30, the window of oppotunity has closed considerabliy. AS talented as Nole is, he start out winning late in his career, and at 25 it's impossible to catch Roger. If you've been watching Davis Cup, they said tennis today is the 2nd most global sport in the world behind soccer. That speaks volume.
Sure, records are made to be broken. Just because Sampras's 14 slam record couldn't last for a decade doesn't necessary mean Roger's slam record is going to be broken anytime soon. It took almost 40 years for Mark Mcgwire to break Roger Maris home run record. Yet, it took only a few years for Barry Bond to break Mcgwire's record. So far, no player is remotely close to Bond's 73 home runs per season.
Women's tennis is not like the men's tennis. you can't equate they are equal, slam to slam, or title to title. Because if you compare all tennis records, women always has the higher numbers in every categories.
I would say Fed's 17 is a lot tougher than Graf's 22, certainly much tougher than Court 24.
As Hoodjem wrote, of course you would think so.
Fact is that players have been super dominant in the past in men's and women's tennis and the average winning percentage in men's and women's tennis is 50%. No I don't think Federer's 17 is tough than Graf's 22 and Graf's 22 isn't even the record. All Graf faced was Martina Navratilova, Hingis, Sanchez-Vicario, Seles, Sabatini, Evert, Davenport etc. All weak players and if you believe that I'd like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.
Honestly I think Bill Tilden would have been easily in the mid twenties or higher if there was airplane travel like today and he wanted to enter all the majors.
Yes tennis is unique in that they had geniuses not allowing the best players to play the top tournaments for the longest time and that also affected the classic majors record. I've pointed this out to you many times but you haven't acknowledged it.

The show might just go off at multiplexes across the country, as the ongoing strike between film producers and multiplexes short-changes the audiences.
If multiplexes don't comply we will screen films only in single screen theatres.
We were lazy and disunited. So, they took advantage," says seasoned producer Mukesh Bhatt, now trying to break the deadlock with the multiplexes in the ongoing tussle between film producers and multiplexes for a larger slice of profits.
"We provide international standard of viewing cinema. It costs us expert staff with huge pay packets. We cannot compromise on that. That's why our profit share from producers and ticket rates is high," counters Sanjay Koul, owner, M2K multiplex in Delhi.
In this tug of war between producers and multiplex owners, hardly anybody seems to spare a thought for audiences, who finally contribute to the producers' and multiplex owners' income. Films are still a primary mode of entertainment for a large majority of Indians. With the summer vacations round the corner, people have ample time for entertainment. More so, because IPL is drawing in the crowds in South Africa, leaving the cricket lovers back home high and dry.
So, what is the strike all about? What is so compelling that arch rivals Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan joined hands to organise a press conference in Mumbai? And Saif Ali Khan acted as a mediator between multiplexes and producers?
The issue is simple: There are some 35 A-grade single screen cinemas in Delhi and five multiplex chains with two to five auditoriums each. The admission rate for single screen halls varies between Rs.30 and 90. The hall, according to R.K Mehrotra, general manager, Delite cinema in Delhi, spends some "Rs.2 lakh for maintenance every week". In multiplexes, a ticket ranges between Rs.125 and 250 on weekends and its "maintenance cost is one-and-half-lakh per day," as distributor Sanjay Ghai puts it.
For better viewing pleasure, audiences have to burn a hole in their pocket in multiplexes while most single theatres in Delhi offer little in terms of quality. That's where multiplexes prevail.
High money
"Multiplexes charge 80 per cent of money from the producers every day irrespective of whether the film is small or big. With the rest 20 per cent, producers have to pay to the distributors and meet other expenses. The producer already pays his actor a huge amount before the film is released. And film industry takes care of the employment of at least 10 lakh people. So, how can 20 per cent be adequate for them?" questions producer-director Sudhir Mishra.
Hence, adds Aanand Mahendroo, whose "Rang Rasiya" is awaiting release, "This is a fight for principles." Lalit Kothari, a distributor for many R.K. and Yashraj films for the last 52 years, chips in, "The strike has more to it than meets the eye. Multiplexes work smartly. They have to pay two taxes – entertainment tax and show tax. In Delhi, entertainment tax is 20 per cent and the show tax is Rs.20 per show which goes to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. In Uttar Pradesh, entertainment tax is 60 per cent and show tax is Rs.20 to 60 per show in the halls having a seating capacity of 500 to 1000. All multiplexes got tax holiday for five years from the time they start operations. The income tax holiday was revoked two years ago. The multiplexes, despite enjoying tax holiday, charged 80 per cent from the producers all these years. They also get a lot of sponsors and advertisements. Moreover, show timings they provide to the films are not supportive. They start at 9.30 a.m. for which hardly anyone comes. Here, a filmmaker loses money, so they have to run those films again elsewhere. While in single screen the show timings begin at noon which gets audiences. Then there are hidden charges like one per cent INR (Indian News Review) that the Supreme Court has freed multiplexes from paying. It was like TDS that they had to play to the Government which they didn't do all these years but it was included in the 80 per cent they took from producers. Moreover, there is manipulation in the admission of the audience to the halls. They allow in a viewer but do not 'tear' the ticket. The money from those entries goes directly into their pocket. So, a correction stage had to come."
The Government, meanwhile, made money in all films, good or bad, for it got entertainment tax from 200 multiplexes in India.
Hence, Aamir and Shah Rukh joined hands. Their production houses had also suffered. The two Khans put three demands before the multiplexes: 50:50 share in screening in "all films, small or big", all the discrepancies (INR, etc.) to be removed to ensure a transparent system, and distributors to be allowed to release films as per their choice. For instance, a film on a Parsi family would find more audiences in South Mumbai. "If multiplexes don't comply," asserts Bhatt, "we will screen films only in single screen theatres."
While PVR and Big Cinemas are tight-lipped, Koul speaks up, "Producers should know that on the first four days of the week shows go very weak as there are few visitors. But the producers went straight away on a strike. They should have had a proper meeting with us, and also with the distributors and exhibitors to find an amicable solution. We are incurring huge losses because of it."
The loss is calculated at a whopping Rs.90 crore per month for the multiplexes and another couple of crores for single screen halls. But the worst affected is the film industry which has already lost more than Rs.200 crore. "If the strike goes on, the loss would be unmanageable," says Mahendroo, adding, the future of the film industry lies in small films. "You cannot have huge stars paid in crores and the film sinking in the first week. Moreover, Rs.125 to 250 per head for a ticket is big sum for a middle class family."
Now, there is a need for founding an independent chartered accountant body which could audit the industry and multiplexes' account. "We have told multiplexes, if we will survive, only then you will survive. So let's reach an amicable solution," says Bhatt.
Amidst the stand-off, is anybody thinking of the audiences?

I'm a bit over the whole serve speed stuff because its clear no matter what I produce you guys will still have some angle to play to discredit it. I'm fine with that. The reason for my Youtube channel has never been to prove claims on TT.
-You guys have not seen my big serve head on, only the second serve i've been working on.
-Even if I do "clock" it using the FPS method, I still wasnt given "80" on my second serve. There were people claiming that serve was going 65 mph, remember? By that reasoning ill have to serve 135+ before you guys nitpick something else.
The FPS method is apples to oranges and is flawed; not the least of which is the wild assumption that since a Sampras serve decelerates from 135 at racket impact to 85 at bounce (a drop in speed assumption that I seriously question) that everyone's speed drops by 40 mph. Regardless, it isn't the standard. It's as if you put mini gps sensors in a ball and posted speeds; there is nothing to relate it to save personal improvement.
A radar gun is very accurate and is no way shape or form a camera. Go clock yourself and post results. If you're hitting 120 mph out wide on demand I will be the first to say how awesome a serve you have.... for virtually any level of play. Until then it ain't happening. No way; no how.

This wash runs smaller than all the other Lookers I've tried. I don't know if it's because it only has 1.5% lycra instead of 2%, but it definitely wasn't as soft and stretchy as Mother denim usually is. I'm normally a 27 and I could barely get these on, much less button them. I don't know whether they would stretch with wear, I didn't end up buying them but I find that's sometimes the case with jeans more toward the rigid end of the spectrum.

10 Best Doughnuts in New York
1. Dough
Fany Gerson took months to tweak the yeasted dough recipe and frying technique for this lovely Bed-Stuy shop, and it shows. Dough pushes gorgeously light, plus-size doughnuts with soft, sighing middles. And they're dressed up in some of the most exciting, delicious glazes in town, from blood orange with candied orange slices, to cheesecake dusted with buttery Graham crumbs. Doughnuts are rolled, stamped, fried, and hand-dipped throughout the day, in a glass-encased kitchen you can swoon over while you eat. Note: the dulce de leche, topped with slivers of toasted almonds, is something of a masterpiece. 305 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn

PORTLAND -- The Portland City Council unanimously passed an Emergency Amended Skateboard Ordinance Wednesday that prohibits the use of skateboards or other similar devices overnight, in the neighborhoods surrounding Washington Park.
This allows police to begin issuing warnings now and after one week, police will start writing tickets to offenders. The tickets may carry fines up to $115.
More:Read entire city ordinance
The ordinance specifically prohibits skateboarding, roller skating or the use of non-motorized scooters on the neighborhood streets around the park between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. It also says that people using these devices who are under the age of 16 must wear helmets.
Residents in the area have long complained to the city about out-of-control skateboarders. At past council meetings, they have argued that the people racing down the steep slopes could cause serious injury to themselves or someone else. The ordinance described the practice as an extreme thrill sport.
Commissioner Randy Leonard agreed, and led an effort to ban the dangerous skateboarders.
Ten streets in particular, near the zoo, have become hot spots. The new rules also state that skateboarders must now follow the same traffic rules as bicyclists, or face a ticket and fine.
Background: Area residents urge ban on skateboarders

"City of the Infinite" Anantapur by Elisabcn
Anantapur Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 16 photos
This is the first page on VT about Anantapur and I guess why. Anantapur is situated in the State of Andhra Pradesh. In local language Anantapur means « City of the Infinite ». There are no important conflicts in Anantapur but a continuous lack of everything. After the Rhajastan Desert this is the most arid (and poorest) zone in India. However the 80% of people in Anantapur depends on agriculture so you can imagine the situation.
Have you ever heard about Dalits ? I prefer to use Mahatma Gandhi's term "Harijan" that means "Children of God" . . .
Anantapur was never the object of my trip to South India. But once there I did not mind to do some hours of bad road (and bad Indian music!) from Bangalore to visit some "special people". There is not need to say that it was worth it.
Don't expect to find on this small page historical buildings or touristy things, I can only show you tons of smiles and some hope.
- Pros:smiles, hope
- Cons:forgotten by almost everybody . . .
- In a nutshell:looking for the God of small things

Easy enough once the repair was diagnosed. I had this problem twice before. Previously I had purchased these switches from Repairclinic.com. The quality of your replacement parts is clearly superior to those that I purchased before. In the future I will be making my repairs through your site. Thanks, Herb Gersenson

Children's LiteratureThe second title in the "Cape Hatteras Trilogy" features sole survivor, Teetoncey (aka Wendy Lynn Appleton) recuperated from injuries sustained aboard the Barbados to New York chartered craft that ran aground in the stormy seas of North Carolina. She and her parents were returning from the island after selling inherited holdings, storing their fortunes in two chests now obscured in the sandy shore. Tee is determined to remain with the O'Neal family, hiding out in a variety of sites and temporarily avoiding extradition ordered by the British consul. In January, the month with lowest tides, Ben and his friends put their heads together to excavate the silver for the exiled girl with visions of wealth for themselves. They amass a bevy of tools and information—study the atmosphere, check barometers, read books, develop engineering techniques, gather moving equipment, and prepare menus. Their only reward is a piece of iron and the wrath of Widow O'Neal. Another storm penetrates the coastline raising the ghost hulk of the Malta Empress. Again the widow interferes but this time it is to derail the government's confiscation of the money, cutting the ropes as the treasure strongboxes dangle from the bow, dropping them to the bottom of the sea. A reference map locates sites described in the story and the first chapter of Book 3 entices readers to continue into the third title of the "Cape Hatteras Trilogy," Odyssey of Ben O'Neal. Originally published in 1975, the new editions features fresh jacket art that will attract readers searching for mystery, light humor, seaside history, strong characterizations, and intrigue in a fast-paced, exciting adventure novel that has male andfemale protagonists. 2004 (orig. 1975), Harcourt, Ages 9 to 12.

NFL Betting Winners/Losers
NFL Betting Winners/Losers
NFL Betting Winners/Losers
By Larry Ness
The current NFL season is four weeks old as the month of October opens with the Bills and Browns playing Thursday night in Week 5's opener. Thirty of the league's 32 teams (Carolina and Green Bay with Week 4 byes are the exceptions) have played four games, representing 25 percent of their schedules. Here's some random thoughts on how things currently stand.
The pointspread has always been considered the great equalizer, but so far in the NFL in 2013, not so much. The first two weeks saw 10 of the 32 games influenced by the pointspread, meaning a favorite won but did not cover (the Cin/Chi game in Week 1 was a push). However, while there were two pushes in Week 3 (Tennessee minus-3 beat the Jets 20-17 and Denver minus-16 beat the Raiders 37-21), the other 14 games ended with either the favorite winning and covering or the underdog winning outright. That brought us to Week 4, when NONE of the 15 games were affected by the pointspread, as once again, either the favorite won and covered or the underdog won outright.
Here's something else regarding the pointspread that's not historically typical of the NFL. The best teams are not just winning but they are also covering at quite a remarkable rate. Plus the same holds true for the NFL's worst teams, as well. They are not just losing, they are getting 'killed!' There remain five unbeaten NFL teams entering Week 5 (Broncos, Chiefs, Pats, Saints and Seahawks). Those teams are not just a combined 20-0 SU but they are 16-3-1 ATS or 84.2 percent (and that includes the Pats, who are just 2-2 ATS). As for the four winless teams (Bucs, Giants, Jags and Steelers), that group is a 'money burning' 1-15 ATS or 6.3 percent!
Home teams are 40-22 SU (.645) and 34-25-3 ATS (57.6%). Home dogs are 11-9 ATS (55.0%). As for over/under bettors, it's 31 overs and 32 unders after 63 games (remember, the London game had no home team).
My closing thought is something I'll follow all season long, and since the NFL is widely considered a "passing league" circa 2013, these numbers may surprise you. The team with the most rushing yards has gone 44-19 SU and 41-20-2 ATS (67.2%) in the NFL's 63 games of 2013. The team with the most rushing attempts has gone 50-12 SU (the Cin/Chi Week 1 game saw both team run the ball the same amount of times) and an even better 49-11-2 ATS (81.7%). I'm not making this up.

Nokona employees herald combined 110 years
Company still manufactures ball gloves there
At the age of 18, Helen Ulbig was a new business school graduate searching for a job. She envisioned using her office skills at a bank or business, when she applied at Nokona Athletic Goods. Little did she know that job, was the start of a lifelong career that continues today.
"Nokona" celebrated the 50th anniversary of this longtime employee recently. Company owners and factory workers all attended to celebrate the woman they call "the voice" of Nokona, the name brand for the ball gloves made in Nocona since 1934.
Along with honoring Ulbig, the company also recognized the anniversary of Bobby Storey, who celebrated his 60th year with the company in November.
Rob Storey, fourth generation owner, brought the welcome, along with Jeff Beraznik, president of Nokona. Storey said they have many affectionate names for Ulbig, "the voice," due to her friendly, Texas twang that has greeted thousands of customers over the years; "mother hen," and "queen bee," all the while watching over them all and doing "a bit of everything" through the years.
Beraznik laughed that Ulbig still remembers what she wore to her job interview on March 30, 1962, and through all those years she has seen so many changes to the company and her community.
"When Helen started her job, she calculated payroll by laying a yardstick across a sheet on a drum to measure employees' hours. I don't quite understand how that works, but now she scans barcodes to compute payroll," said the president.
Ulbig was presented with a plaque honoring her contributions and service to Nokona. Surrounded by friends and family, Ulbig was all smiles.
"Time has just gone by in such a hurry. Shortly, after I went to work at Nokona, I had a few offers from other applications, but I was already so happy here in this family. I get up every morning and I'm ready to go. I love my job. As long as I feel good I will keep doing it," said the 68-year-old Ulbig as she prepared to do payroll the day after her party.
Bobby Storey was a 5-year-old who used to sit on a countertop at the factory and count hardware, while his dad, Bob, worked on inventory. Rob Storey related that story about his father's tenure with the company actually starting a bit earlier than his "official" start 60 years ago when he returned from a tour of duty in the Korean War.
Bobby worked side by side with his father as the Nokona brand of ball gloves and other products were developed. Nokona gloves have always been made in this small Texas town and today remains the only truly "American-made" glove.
Beraznik told the group during Bobby Storey's tenure his biggest commitment was to continue to manufacture in America while most competitors had gone overseas.
"That decision had the most impact and solidified this brand," Beraznik said.
Storey, 82, remains active in the company, leading factory tours and working alongside his son, Rob, evaluating the quality of leathers. Clearly happy to be surrounded by his family during the celebration, Storey said he is proud and happy to be able to keep the company in Nocona all these years and still producing a quality product.
Beraznik added that both Ulbig and Storey have made a lasting impact on the company and its personality, not only its past, but its future."
"Although there are many workers who have celebrated similar milestones, Helen and Bobby's stories are unique. It is a success story of the American worker in American manufacturing. They have experienced the many twists in the road of American factory life through the decades. They are still actively engaged in the business, and we are very proud."

Quarterly Report
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" as
defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, in connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements Such forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our potential product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made and are often identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," or "will," and similar expressions or variations. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those risks disclosed in this report, under the caption "Risk Factors" included in our 2013 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 31, 2014 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
We are in the business of developing and operating proprietary platforms over which resellers, brands and enterprises can conduct localized mobile marketing campaigns. Our proprietary platforms allow resellers, brands and enterprises to market their products and services to consumers through text messages sent directly to the consumers' mobile phones, mobile device applications (which consists of software available to both phones and tablet PCs. We generate revenue by charging the brands and enterprises a per-message transactional fee, or through fixed or variable software licensing fees. Our customers include national franchisers, professional sports teams and associations and other national brands such as the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Cowboys, Chick-Fil-A, Jamba Juice, and others.
Mobile phone users represent a large and captive audience. While televisions, radios, and even PCs are often shared by multiple consumers, mobile phones are personal devices representing a unique and individual address to the end user. We believe that the future of digital media will be significantly influenced by mobile phones where a direct, personal conversation can be had with the world's largest target audience. According to a report published by International Data Corporation (IDC) , by 2015, more U.S. Internet users will access the Internet through mobile devices than through PCs or other wireline devices (Worldwide New Media Market Model 1H-2012 Highlights: Internet Becomes Ever More Mobile, Ever Less PC-Based (IDC #237459)). The IDC study further reports that the number of people accessing the Internet, in the U.S., through PCs will shrink from 240 million consumers in 2012 to 225 million in 2016. At the same time, the number of mobile users will increase from 174 million to 265 million.. We believe the future of mobile applications and services includes banking, commerce, advertising, video, games and just about every other aspect of both on and offline life.
Our "C4" Mobile Marketing and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform is a Web-hosted software solution enabling our clients to develop, execute, and manage a variety of marketing engagements to a consumer's mobile phone. Our C4 solution allows our clients to communicate directly with their customers through Short Messaging Service (SMS), Multi-Media Messaging (MMS), and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) interactions, all of which are facilitated via a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) operated from any Web browser.
Our C4 platform also allows our customers to deploy and administer our "Stampt" mobile device loyalty application. Stampt is a smartphone replacement for "Buy 10, Get 1 free" punch cards. Consumers no longer need to worry about forgetting paperbased loyalty punch cards. Stampt makes it easy to receive all of the rewards consumers want from their favorite businesses. Consumer's can use Stampt throughout the United States to earn free sandwiches, coffee, pizza, frozen yogurt, donuts, bagels and more.
Stampt's nearby feature shows consumers all of the rewards they can earn at nearby businesses. From the Stampt mobile device application, consumers simply tap any business to learn more about that business and to see all of the loyalty points they have earned at that business. Consumers can keep track of all of the rewards they are close to earning through the "my cards" feature displayed in the application's interface. Once a consumer has earned all of the Stampt's they need for a reward, they simply show the cashier and click "tap to redeem" button from the application interface on their device. Our customers can create and manage any Stampt program from the C4 platform's set of Web-based interfaces.
We also offer our clients reporting and analytics capabilities through the C4 solution which allows our clients to assess the effectiveness of their mobile marketing campaigns and design more effective campaigns. Our proprietary platform connects to all wireless carriers so that any consumer, on any wireless service (for example, Verizon), can join our customer's mobile marketing campaign. Once the consumer has subscribed to our customer's mobile marketing campaign, our C4 Web-based software solution serves as a tool by which our customers can initiate messages and other communications back to their subscribed consumers, as well as configure and administer their mobile marketing campaigns.
Our SmartReceipt solution enables our customers with the ability to control the content on receipts printed from their Point of Sale (POS) system. SmartReceipt is a software application that is installed on the POS which dynamically controls what is printed on receipts such as coupons, announcements, or other calls-to-action such as invitations to participate in a survey. SmartReceipt includes a Web-based interface where users can design receipt content and implement business rules to dictate what receipt content is printed in particular situations. All receipt content is also transmitted to SmartReceipt's server back-end for storage and analysis. Our C4 solution integrates with SmartReceipt by support SMS marketing or Stampt mobile application calls-to-actions which can be printed on receipt content by SmartReceipt.
We believe that mobile devices are emerging as an important interactive channel
for brands to reach consumers since it is the only media platform that has
access to the consumer virtually anytime and anywhere. According to eMarketer's
article, published August 1, 2013
(http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Digital-Set-Surpass-TV-Time-Spent-with-US-Media/1010096), U.S. adults now spend more time on their mobile device than any other digital channel such as PCs. eMarketer also reports that U.S. adults already spend more time on their mobile phone than viewing print or listening to radio combined. We believe that brands and advertising agencies are recognizing the unique benefits of the mobile channel and they are increasingly integrating mobile media within their overall advertising and marketing campaigns. Our objective is to become the industry leader in connecting brands and enterprises to consumers' mobile phones.
Recent Events
Reverse Stock Split
On November 12, 2013, we effected a 1 for 6 reverse stock split of our authorized common stock and reduced our authorized common stock to 50,000,000 shares. The number of shares outstanding has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the reverse stock split in all periods presented. Also, all share prices, including the exercise price and the number of common shares issuable under our share-based compensation plans and warrants, have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the reverse stock split.
In March 2014, we acquired the assets of SmartReceipt, Inc ("SmartReceipt") related to an application that allows our customers to control content printed on receipts generated by their Point-Of-Sale (POS) system. The assets and liabilities acquired from SmartReceipt consisted of accounts receivable, other assets, all rights under all contracts other than excluded contracts, all technology and intellectual property rights, deferred revenue obligations, and obligations under a commercial lease.
The purchase price consisted of (1) $2,368,019 of cash, (2) the Company's issuance of 504,884 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock; and (3) the Company's earn-out payment of 200% of the "eligible revenue" of the Company over the 12 month period following the close of the transaction ("earn-out period"). The "eligible revenue" will consist of: 100% of Company revenue derived during the earn out period from the sale of SmartReceipt products and services to certain SmartReceipt clients as of the close (the "designated SmartReceipt clients"); plus 50% of Company revenue derived during the earn out period from the sale of Company products and services to the designated SmartReceipt clients, plus 50% of the Company revenue derived during the earn out period from the sale of SmartReceipt products and services to Company clients who are not designated SmartReceipt clients. The earn-out payment will be payable in common shares of the Company (valued at the Closing VWAP) no later than the 90th day following the end of the earn-out period. For purposes of the foregoing, the "Closing VWAP" means the volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common stock for the 90 trading days preceding the initial close of the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
In May 2013, we acquired the assets of Sequence, LLC ("Sequence") related to a mobile customer loyalty application. The acquired assets include all application software, URL's, websites, trademarks, brands, customers and customer lists. We assumed no liabilities of Sequence.
The purchase price consisted of: (1) $300,000 in cash; (2) 750,000 shares of our common stock which were valued at $183,750 based on the closing market price on the acquisition date; and (3) twenty-four monthly earn-out payments consisting of 10% of the eligible monthly revenue subsequent to closing.
Also in May 2013, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of Front Door Insights, LLC ("FDI") pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The assets and liabilities acquired from FDI consisted of cash on hand, accounts receivable, all rights under all contracts other than excluded contracts, prepaid expenses, all technology and intellectual property rights, accounts payable, and obligations under a commercial lease.
The purchase price consisted of: (1) $100,000 in cash; (2) a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,400,000; and (3) 7,000,000 shares of our common stock which were valued at $1,112,310 based on the closing market price on the acquisition date.
Private Placement and Conversion of Bridge Notes
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with certain accredited investors in connection with a proposed private placement of up to 6,000,000 units of the Company's securities at a price of $1.00 per unit for the gross proceeds of up to $6,000,000. Each unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase one-quarter share of the Company's common stock, over a five year period, at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the investors and the Company, and an indemnity from the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the common shares made part of the units to be filed by May 15, 2014. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company must make certain payments as liquidated damages to the investors if it fails to timely file the registration statement and cause it to become effective. The units were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder. Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. ("EGE") acted as placement agent for the private placement and received $370,635 in commissions and $78,000 in other fees from the Company. In addition, for its services as placement agent, the Company issued to EGE warrants to purchase an aggregate of 345,835 units, as defined above, exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date, at an exercise price of $1.00 per unit.
An initial closing of the units was completed on March 12, 2014. As of March 28, 2014, the Company has sold 5,413,000 units for the gross proceeds of $5,413,000.
In June 2013, we sold 6,130,000 shares of our common stock at $1.20 per share and received net proceeds of $6,789,685. We also converted all of our outstanding Bridge Notes and substantially all of our interest payable on the Bridge Notes into 4,462,089 shares of our common stock at $1.20 per share. We no longer have any Bridge Notes outstanding.
In August 2013, we completed the full amount authorized in the private placement of $7,500,000 by selling the remaining 720,000 shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share and received net proceeds of $107,492.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $903,215, a decrease of $124,778, or 12.1%, compared to the same period in 2013. The net decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $174,722, or 49.8% in revenues from large enterprise accounts and non-recurring or one-time events, and loss of $10,759, or 1.6%, of subscriber based licensing. The loss of subscribers was primarily due to new regulation put in place under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA) in October, 2013. These decreases were offset by $58,924 in revenues from our recent acquisition of SmartReceipt.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $260,893, a decrease of $23,729, or 8.3% compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower SMS fees, sales commissions, and credit card merchant fees. SMS fees decreased 27.9% to $74,638 as compared to same period in 2013 due to further reduction in negotiated volume discount, and reduced overall SMS volume. Sales commissions decreased 12.1% to $44,962 due to reduced large enterprise and non-recurring revenues, a smaller outside sales team, and other minor factors.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, consulting costs and other expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased $597,325, or 112.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to increased personnel expenses, share based compensation, and one-time non-capitalizable expenses related to acquisition of SmartReciept. Personnel related expenses increased $113,205, and share based compensation increased $195,968, due to increased management and support headcount as compared to the same period in 2013. One time costs associated with auditing, consulting, and some legal fees for the SmartReceipt acquisition were $174,770.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, sales travel, consulting costs and other expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $578,189, or 159.33%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel expenses, share based compensation expenses, and travel expenses resulting from increase in sales personnel as compared to the same period in 2013. Personnel related expenses increased $360,082, share based compensation increased $32,381, and sales related travel & entertainment expenses increased $98,977.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on our equipment and amortization of our intangible assets.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $34,269, or 101.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
The amortizable base of our intangible assets was higher in the 2014 periods than the 2013 periods because of the acquisitions we recorded in May 2013 and March 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of stated or implied interest expense on our notes payable, amortization of note discounts, and amortization of deferred financing costs.
Interest expense decreased $1,446,533, or 100%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. We converted substantially all of our debt into equity in June 2013.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $30,079 and a gain of $1,001,550, respectively. The value of the derivative liabilities at any given date is based primarily on the value and volatility of our common stock, among other less significant factors. In periods when our stock price or volatility rises, we expect to record a loss in the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. The conversion of convertible notes payable into common shares in June 2013, reducing the number of warrants subject to derivative liability treatment, significantly reduced our ongoing exposure to derivative liability valuation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, we had current assets of $4,554,625, including $3,984,032 in cash, and current liabilities of $3,767,725, resulting in working capital of $786,900.
As of the date of this report, we believe we have working capital on hand to fund our current level of operations through, at least, the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that we will not require additional capital within the next 12 months. If we require additional capital, we will seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, if available, bank lines of credit. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain access to capital as and when needed and, if so, the terms of any available financing may not be subject to commercially reasonable terms.

I just got a 2nd hand squat suit. it's a size 48. I was measuring myself and my thighs are 26.5 and hips are a 43. Both #'s are a wee bit bigger than what Metal sizing chart said for that size.
So just how forgiving is this Metal suit if your a little off with the numbers? Will I still fit or would it be more like trying to put toothpaste back into the bottle? PS i weighed in today at 216. any help would be great

Preparing Fossils at the Museum
by AMNH on
Fossil preparation requires an uncommon degree of adaptability and patience. Museum preparators bring to the task diverse sets of skills from such backgrounds as art, paleontology, and archaeology. They generally learn their craft on the job, drawing from related fields such as object conservation to adapt modern glues, solvents, and other archival materials to stabilize fragile areas or repair damage.
Watch as Justy Alicea, a preparator at the American Museum of Natural History, works on a specimen and offers a tour of the Museum's fossil preparation lab. And for more about fossil preparation, read this story, which originally appeared in the Summer 2010 issue of the Members' magazine Rotunda.

Dinosaur Fossils Head to Fanwood, NJ, on Sunday, June 12
by AMNH on
A special specimen table featuring items from the Museum's world-famous dinosaur collection will be traveling to the Fanwood Street Fair and Craft Show in downtown Fanwood this Sunday, June 12, from 11 am to 5 pm.
Jonah Choiniere, a scientist from the Museum's Division of Paleontology, will be on hand with touchable specimens, including dinosaur teeth and claws; "prehistoric poop," (fossilized dung known as coprolite); a horn dinosaur arm bone; dinosaur skin impressions; shark teeth; and more.
Meet Mame, the Newly Named Mamenchisaurus
by AMNH on
The results are in! We asked you to submit a nickname for Mamenchisaurus, the giant sauropod at the center of The World's Largest Dinosaurs exhibition, currently on view at the Museum.
After hundreds of submissions and thousands of votes, the winner by a landslide is: Mame!
Runners up included Neckita—a nod to her extraordinary 30-foot neck, the longest relative to body size of any known dinosaur—and Mei Mei ("mei" means beauty in Chinese).

"The presidency is a full-time job in the 24-hour sense. He must function and be able to function as president all the time," Rogers said. "The chairman of any corporation in America can kick back for a weekend and the potential downside is not that severe. The notion of the president being out of pocket would be appealing to our enemies and dangerous to our republic."
Rogers mentioned a few other nice perks of being in the White House, including movie studios delivering you copies of their latest films, instant communications with anyone in the world and a pretty nice view from your windows.
"It's a good job in that regard," he said. "Unfortunately it does come with a lot of stress and responsibility that diminish the opportunity to enjoy the fact that hey, I've got this nice big airplane."
Living in the presidential bubble also creates a very "surreal experience," Rogers said. For instance, Bush and Ronald Reagan never carried any cash.
One time, when traveling with Reagan, Rogers said, "we went to a McDonald's and somebody gave him a $50 bill. He looked like he didn't know what to do with it."
Living in the White House also leaves a paper trail.
"[President Ford's son] Steve Ford, right when they moved into the White House, told his dad he was going to turn in early one evening," Smith said. "The next morning, the president asked him how was his evening. He said fine. It turned out that the president had been given an invoice for the food that Steve and his partying friends had consumed, figuring that nobody would know."
Back when George Washington took office in 1789, the presidential salary was $25,000 -- that's more than $300,000 in today's dollars. Since then, there have only been five increases in the presidential pay, albeit pretty big ones. When Congress does increase the pay, it tends to double it, which leads to some pretty interesting results. For instance, George W. Bush made roughly twice what Bill Clinton made and Richard M. Nixon made twice what Lyndon B. Johnson made.
Stephen Hess, a senior fellow emeritus at the Brookings Institute and a veteran staffer of the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations and an advisor to Presidents Ford and Carter, was shocked anybody would even consider that the president "shouldn't have a private plane or should somehow pay taxes on it."
"The idea of letting the President of the United States out without that degree of security is bizarre," Hess said.
"I can't think of any perk that I would consider taxable when it has to do with handling the most important, often the most secure, business of the United States," Hess added. "We don't pay the president a great deal of money."

Small Project Saturday: Colorblock Dining Room
Glidden® paint
When Megan and her family bought their new home, the whole house was painted lime green. They quickly painted everything white, so they would have a blank slate. But now that they've moved in and are making it their own, it's time to add color to enliven and warm up the space. Like many families, they spend most of their time around the dining table. Painting the whole wall would have been a big undertaking, and might have overwhelmed the space. See how Megan painted just part of the wall with a simple stripe of bold color.
Five Small Decor Changes with Huge Results
Sometimes a final squeeze of lemon juice or sprinkle of salt is what makes a dish really sing, and the same principle goes for decorating: the perfect pop — of color, pattern, light, or texture — can make all the difference. HomeGoods knows what we're talking about. Its stores are stocked with surprising and unique furniture, accents and accessories, all at prices that won't sabotage your wallet. With savings like these, you can give each corner of your space a new way to shine.

All it took was one Saturday afternoon and a can of Glidden paint for Megan to transform the space with color in an unexpected place.
