February 2013 Data Released on 03.15.2013Domestic Table Wines Up 5% in February, 6% in 12 MonthsOff-premise sales of domestic table wines in February continued their long-term growth trend, hitting 5% growth in value for the month vs. a year ago, and measuring 6% up for the past 12 months. In February 2012 the 12-month growth rate was 8%, so growth has decelerated gradually over the past year. By contrast, imported table wines were flat for the month and the past 12 months at the major food and drug stores where the Symphony IRI Group measures sales.
Off-Premise Sales » Month 12 Months February 2013 $400 million 5% $5,081 million 6% February 2012 $380 million $4,795 million
Two Months of Retail Growth to Start the Year
February was the second growth month of the year for domestic wine sales, even as the pace slackened to 5%. Washington and Oregon wines grew at 6%. Domestic table wines rose in price by 30 cents compared to February 2012.
The Top 30 Momentum Table Wine Brands include some familiar names such as Cupcake, Barefoot and Rex Goliath. New entrants include Joel Gott, Edna Valley Vineyards, Entwine and Simply Naked. To create the Momentum Brands list the Symphony IRI Group (SIG) started with the top 250 brands by volume in from their total U.S. multi-outlet results for 52 weeks ending Jan. 6, 2013, and created a power ranking by the following measures:
- Volume sales
- Volume sales actual changes vs. year ago
- Volume sales % change vs. year ago
- Quality merchandising incremental collars (feature and/or display)
- Dollar sales actual change vs. year ago
- Dollar sales % change vs. year ago
- Unit sales actual change vs. year ago
- Unit sales % change vs. year ago
- Average price per 750 ml % change vs. year ago
- Velocity in dollars
- Velocity % change vs. year ago in dollars
SIG ranked brands for each measure (low to high) and awarded points based on 2012 sales performance. For example, the brand with the highest volume sales received 1 point and the brand with the lowest volume sales received 250 points. This methodology was consistent for each measure used. Points received across each measure were added for a sum total by brand resulting in the final point total. Brands were ranked in ascending order of "total points" to determine the final 2012 Top 30 Table Wine Momentum Brands.
Brands with eye-catching names, and some with themes aimed at women consumers dominated the Top 20 New Brands of 2012 as picked by the Symphony IRI Group from off-premise sales data. The top four brands were launched by wine companies other than the big three – E. & J. Gallo, The Wine Group and Constellation Brands. Skinnygirl by Beam Global ranked No. 1 and led No. 2 Be wines from Treasury Wine Estates by more than $1.5 million cases.

Title: 1984
Author: George Orwell
KDL Description:
If you've ever wondered where "Big Brother" comes from, this book is a must read! Winston Smith, like others in Oceania, lives under the watchful eye of the government, and he wonders if his "thought crimes" will be discovered. Then he meets Julia…
Amazon Description:
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Apple Apple plans to launch its long-awaited iTunes Radio this fall, and the rollout already in the works suggests a product that's desperate to live up to its considerable hype.
The streaming radio service will include a snappy new interface (see image on right), and sponsors are lining up to get a piece of the platform's ads, which will play via audio for every 15 minutes of listening and via video for every hour. According to a report released this week, brands including Pepsi, McDonald's McDonald's and Nissan have committed to the minimum advertising buy-in of about $1 million.
Apple is also counting on iTunes Radio sending users back to the original iTunes Store to buy music, where they'll listen to their purchases on the mobile and desktop versions of iTunes. Before that happens, Apple needs to fix the latter.
The latest version of iTunes is an utter abomination–at least that's been the opinion of a very vocal horde of users since the program was redesigned in 2012 to include bigger album art and more pop-up menus.
Sounds innocuous enough, but the comments say it all: One post on the Apple support site titled "Am I the only one to HATE the new iTunes?!" has received 117,974 views and 1,890 comments.
A Facebook Facebook group called "iTunes Sucks" now has 3,369 likes. The update even spawned a wave of articles by the likes of the New York Times explaining how to restore the old iTunes.
It seems there's no coincidence that this user experience debacle occurred–and persists–in the wake of the death of founder Steve Jobs.
Apple became a $450 billion company by creating some of the world's sleekest products and prioritizing the user experience above all else. If the iTunes desktop interface can't get back to that ideal, the company risks losing out to more intuitive on-demand services like Spotify or the far cleaner web-based Rdio, even if iTunes Radio proves to be a success.
To be fair, the importance of an mp3 store is on the wane. A recent report by Nielsen revealed that digital track sales dipped 2.3% in the first half of the year, while audio and video streams jumped 24%.
But Apple remains the world's top music retailer. If it wants to stay there, Apple needs to fix its iTunes desktop program by making it more like the old version before rolling out iTunes Radio.

Didn't stop teams like the Bengals from not spending it all each year in the 90's
I don't think big owners care about that, they just don't want to help their competition.

Go Gators!
Especially the ones that only got into the game recently and paid through the watoozis for the privilege. I don't think they're all that interested in leveling the playing field with the guys who only paid half as much for their teams.Originally Posted by KronoRed
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
I actually think that the belief that the Bengals didn't spend money is a misconception. I don't have the past cap figures in front of me and don't have time to look it up right now, so I could be wrong, but I believe that the Bengals regularly spent up to the cap in the past. I think the real problems they had were twofold:Originally Posted by KronoRed
1. They were never willing to offer good free agents the back-loaded, cap-busting contracts that the 49ers, Cowboys, Titans, et. al. were offering. Mike Brown consistently stated that he wasn't willing to mortgage the future for short term gains in the present.
2. They had this odd notion of extending the contracts of their own players, even if they had poor attitudes about the team, before seeking out free agents. Having a team full of overpaid guys didn't want to be there is no way to "run a railroad."
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
I recall the benglas were always proud each year that they were 5-10 mill under the cap, as if it was a badge of honor.
I may be remembering wrong, not a bengal fan, just what I thought was in the paper.
Go Gators!
There's a lot of misinformation out there about the Bengals from the bad years, mainly because columnists tended to write the columns that implied that their own opinion was fact. Mike Brown has earned a reputation for being cheap, and rightly so in many ways (mostly skimping on facilities and perks for players). However, Mike Brown has historically been good about spending up to the cap. The problem is that he didn't spend his money very well. He has been extremely loyal to his own players, preferring to use cap money to resign those on the roster rather than bringing in better talent from outside. Often that meant overpaying for malcontents and underperformers who should have been allowed to test free agency. It also lead to the infamous "Pickens Clause," after Carl Pickens signed a contract with a big signing bonus and promptly began bad mouthing his way off the team.

Frederik Gauthier, Leafs First Round Pick
The Leafs opted for size and two-way ability down the middle at 21st overall, drafting a 6'5, 214-pounder out of Quebec in Frederik Gauthier. As a player who "needs to work on his offensive game" and who was under a PPG in the Q (worth noting that he broke his jaw during the season), this pick may be a little on the safe side compared to say, the higher offensive ceiling of Hunter Shinkaruk (who slid down and was available at 21). That said, there's no denying the value of a good centerman and the need for depth at the position. How you feel about this selection depends on whether you like the late-first-round approach of safer picks with strong fundamentals or if you would prefer to role the dice a little on higher upside.
Profile after the jump.
From Alex Tran:
"The 6'4 215 lb Gauthier burst onto the scene this year with an impressive rookie campaign in the QMJHL where he surprised scouts by displaying a relatively advanced and polished game for a young player still growing into his body. The talented centreman has drawn comparisons to the likes of Sean Couturier for his impressive defensive instincts and commitment to strong positional play. Gauthier does the little things quite well – realizing when to hold back and cover a pinching defenseman, pushing hard to back-check on the high man during an odd man rush and completing the chips along the boards to get the puck out. He excels in the role of the second forward into the corners for support (much like Jay McClement). Rimouski relied heavily on Gauthier in key late-game situations, as the youngster led all rookie centreman in faceoff attempts (albeit at a 47% success rate – a number that still needs to improve). Offensively, Gauthier displays a promising scorer's skillset with the ability to find pucks in traffic and finish in tight around the net. The playmaking instincts and passing ability have a chance to be above average while his skating ability already grades out as above average for a player his size. While the hulking forward can certainly hold his own in high traffic areas, he lacks the raw "nastiness" and punishing physicality of a Tyler Biggs or Milan Lucic.
Gauthier possesses the complete package of skills to be a a very effective NHL player. He started off the QMJHL campaign on an absolute tear offensively before fatigue and oppositional adjustments slowed him down. What will ultimately determine his ceiling is where you think his offensive ability eventually grades out. Is he a Paul Gaustad type – a highly effective defensive player in a 3rd line role? Or is he a David Backes type – capable of a 1st/2nd line role on a very good team? It's tough to say at this point because the sample size is so small and the trajectories of power forwards is so unpredictable but I'm optimistic and will tend toward the latter. His size, strength and well-rounded game could see him ascend very quickly through this organization."
NHL Central Scouting's Chris Bordeleau raves about Gauthier's defensive acumen:
A bit old, but here's a short highlight package:
From McKeen's Draft Guide:
"Rescued his plummeting stock with a strong performance while winning gold for Team Canada at the U18 Worlds (7-1-3-4) .. soared initially in his QMJHL debut (18-10-10-20), but sagged after returning from a November broken jaw that required surgery .. scored 12 times in his final 50 games including playoffs (6-0-2-2) .. his defensive efforts were evident throughout however, reflected in a plus-22 rating, second-best on Rimouski .. named to the QMJHL All Rookie Team .. led College Esther-Blondin to a QAAA title in `11-12 – earning MVP honours – and passing on a commitment to Harvard University ..
SCOUTING REPORT .. diligent, hard-working pivot with imposing size and speed .. light and agile, graceful in cuts and turns .. can add a quicker startup and acceleration burst – to a stride that possesses good inherent length and thrust .. a menace off the rush once his excellent top gear is fully engaged .. drives at defenders and challenges 1-on-1, exploiting a sharp diagonal cut that highlights striking speed and lateral agility for a big man .. unleashes a smooth, hard wristshot in full flight .. multi-purpose type .. dedicated defensive soldier – hustles to get back in proper lanes and close gaps, exploiting a gull-like wingspan .. sacrifices himself making plays in the hard areas .. developing as a playmaker .. moves the puck confidently – shows skill receiving pucks and making passes .. not a pure talent in terms of stickhandling and in-close finesse skills .. can refine puckhandling in tight quarters – shows too much of the puck .. can get much stronger as his 'specimen' frame is still relatively lean .. developing his awareness and expanding his field of vision will be critical areas .. plays with blinders on – fixates and gravitates to the puck .. benefits greatly by being a meaner physical presence – and has demonstrated a capacity to aggressively use his size to create space."
Additional reading: Gauthier plays all-round game well beyond his years.
Dave Nonis says Gauthier projects as a second, but more likely, third-line centre.
— Jonas Siegel (@jonasTSN1050) June 30, 2013
Craig Button has this to say about Frederic Gauthier:
Craig Button: I have watched Frederik for almost 2 years now and he has always impressed me. He played midget last season (His team lost in the TELUS CUP Midget Championship to Red Deer in an epic final) because he was considering going the NCAA route and was conditionally granted acceptance to Harvard University. He's big, he's smart and he may not run you over but he asserts with his size & takes advantage. he is a strong two-way player who plays all situations. he reminds me of Keith Primeau. He has not come out of nowhere, you just haven't heard of him because he wasn't on a 'mainstream' radar. Centers like him are rare and I have no doubt that he could be a top 10 player before long. Different player than Huberdeau but similar scenario as you point out.
We used our onlyfirst round pick, to draft a potential third libe centre??? Uhmmmm, okay...
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=145093 Verhaeghe's profile.
Carter Verhaeghe? Never heard of the name let alone the player.
The redwings draft a Bertuzzi hahaha
Leafs have two and potentially three fourth round picks for next year. One less now from the Bolland deal though.
If we only use one compliance buyout as Nonis suggest doe we have cap space to add Bolland and Clarkson ?
Bolland is proven warrior. I hope we can resign him next year or better still this year and long term he could prove to be the spine of the team. I like gritty players and the guy is gritty top to toe.
Loved bolland as a Knight always wanted him
Great pick.
Nonis says he waited until after the Cup was won, but basically right after that he texted Bowman about Bolland.
Dave Boll and, the rat, now the Leaf...ironic considering what Burke had said in the past lol
Nonis says Bolland trade doesn't change approach when it comes to Bozak
Frederik Gauthier = Philip Paradis 2.0
Bolland = Versteeg 2.0
Well nonis has been exactly the GM we needed, hes a smarter burke so far, Clarkson I would say is a given, just need a good front line centre, and we have buyouts and trade fodder. NICE situation we are in hehehehehe
Note: Leafs are very likely done making trades today. But they will be active on that front later this week.
hopefully the former St Leo's Lion Bolland will take a pay cut on his new contract. Slightly overpaid.
Nonis says it's unlikely the Leafs use both compliance buyouts.
carlyle was hi on mclement , and hi on bolland .... trust the ones that actually know
Nonis: "I can tell you that Randy is very happy that we brought in David Bolland."
Well guys it's been a blast, bed time for me, enjoy the rest of the draft and hopefully a few more Leaf trades go down.
Welcome Dave and Frederik to the best hockey team in the world
Nonis says Bolland passed his physical. Clearly a deal in works for a while.
Leafs trading for Bolland isn't about getting a No. 1 centre. Its about re-acquiring disturber element lost when Komarov went back to KHL.
@Mind Bomb I hope that's not in reference to Mantha. Also very shrewd to trade down to grab Mantha and pick up a late 2nd.
Slick hands
@Pent_House Still got our 3rd 82, 5th at 142 that I have looked at so for after that meh
@Pent_House 82, 142, 172, 202
Clarkson and Horton.
@Burtonboy *cough* bullshit*cough*
@skippysleafs Ya but being where we are, was planned by Burke years prior, Nonis walked into and pretty dam good situation talent wise
@Pent_House Vinny and your Done !
Joe stays, don't care about the other 2.
@TheCanucksnaphook Bozak's gone, Colborne is depth and Grabo stays for now. IMO
@TheCanucksnaphook trade bait
Nice to see the GM and coach in sync.
@Scottish Leaf Night Bro
@Scottish Leaf have a good one scotty
cox, go follow the US OPEN............we all know Bolland is a 3rd liner
@Burtonboy ya that sucks about Komarov but i kinda figured this might happen
@TheCanucksnaphook @thebigbokowski Guilty as charged. haha
@Mind Bomb @skippysleafs Not knocking Burke at all, but nonis seems to be more in touch with the now
@Mind Bomb @Pent_House if not vinny , stastny .....
@Mind Bomb @ingy56 Doesn't look like it yet.
@Pent_House @steele123 @Faalcon Exactly so at that price you should pick a guy like that up
@skippysleafs @Mind Bomb Well we cant argue with the end result, we have a good young team :)
@unclejakescards @Mind Bomb @Pent_House OR stats !
@The_Polish_Cannon @4evrblue @ingy56 @TheCanucksnaphook I think if they managed to sign Vinny we would see Grabo bought out or traded.
@4evrblue @ingy56 @TheCanucksnaphook I'd like Lecavalier. But i'm completely comfortable going into next season with Kadri, Grabo, Bolland, McClement

Congress leader Rashid Alvi termed as "most unfortunate" Arun Jaitley's remarks and said such statements reveals the thinking of the government.
"If any girl of the nation is raped, it is a blot on the nation. If a minister terms it as a small incident, that is most unfortunate. This shows the thinking of the government," he said.
Member of National Commission of Women (NCW) Nirmala Sawant said, "It is wrong from the part of a minister to make such remarks and compare how such crime can hurt country's economy. His remarks is very unfortunate. I condemn it." Congress' students wing NSU-I also strongly condemned the statement of Jaitley.
"We wish to ask him what in his case a small rape is and what is a big rape? It is sad and pathetic to have our representatives make such insensitive remarks. As a country we deserve more sensitive and rational leaders," NSU-I leader Amrish Ranjan Pandey said.

Who could have predicted that international superstar M.I.A., who released her current single, Paper Planes, in early February, would have her Diplo-produced song remixed and freestyled over in droves nearly 13 months after the release of her latest album, Kala? Sensing that there was nothing left to be spit over Lil' Wayne's raped and pillaged A Milli beat, multiple artists (including 50 Cent, Trey Songz, and Jim Jones) have instead jumped on Paper Planes. Adding a different twist to the hit record are future international superstars Da Spokesman and Don't Talk Much of Rock City, who creatively infuse American politics into their version. Picking up where they left on the previously-featured No Air (Freestyle), the duo petition U.S. citizens to vote for Barack Obama and remind everyone of their hatred for the Bush Administration. R. City will release their debut, Wake The Neighbors, later this year.

Next semester, I'm planning to teach "Word to the Wise: Writing for Religious and Social Change." I'm posting my thoughts on the course design thus far with the hope that you, dear Internets, will suggest tweaks, correct horrendous ideas, and/or send me more boxes of books to read.
Why Kristof's Latest Column Stings & Why He's Right
Kristof says professors should move beyond our academic "turgid prose" and "gobbledygook" and shape our culture's great debates. He's right, but he misses much of the point.
Testing the Aims of College
I'm sick and tired of the perspective (often coming out of Washington, or from local politicians of all stripes) that college is primarily — or only — about job preparation, or even more narrow: getting a job at all. As hesitant as I am to consider any sort of enormous exam for already stressed-out college students, I don't think it's a crazy idea if it helps refocus higher education on LEARNING.
Eat Your Heart Out, Congressman! After the Food Stamp Vote, 10 Scripture Verses for Rep. Cramer
This weekend my elected representative, Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND) responded to a constituent who questioned Rep. Cramer's vote cutting our nation's food stamp program by $40 billion with the Bible verse: "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." Since Rep. Cramer appreciates quotes taken from the Bible without any concern for context, I've made him a handy list. Warning: don't read on an empty stomach!
Ten Thursday Tidbits

A Rude Welcome to Olmsted County, Minnesota
Dear Jason Sethre, Publisher/Editor of the Olmsted County Journal, As a new part-time resident of Olmsted County, I picked up a copy of the July 3, 2013 edition of your newspaper eager to get a sense of my new community. All was well until page five, when I was met with an atrocious opinion piece by State Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen, "Guest Commentary: Thoughts on the passage of the gay marriage bill."
Be Very Afraid. Again? A Christian Response to NSA
I long for another cultural frame with which to approach the NSA revelations. I'm tired of fear. I'm sick of worry. I hate labeling any other—be it general unknown, the government, or that "foreign outsider"—a threat in the name of vigilance. I read my Bible and, over and over again, the phrase "fear not" provokes me.
Do We All, Really, Seek to Care for the Poor?
Joe Biden on Pope Francis, before the new Pope's inauguration at the Vatican: "He shares a vision that all of us share, to reach out to the poor and the dispossessed."
Really? All of us? Do we really all share the vision of reaching out to the poor and dispossessed?
The HRC Red Equals Sign: Share & Tell
When it comes to politics and faith, Facebook better allows for simple sharing than complex reasoning. If support of marriage equality is important to you, have a real live face-to-face conversation about it with someone of a different viewpoint.

The MEP's economic impact has been impressive, Mr. Stieren said. In 2009, its programs helped generate $9.1 billion in new and retained sales and $1.7 billion in new investment by clients. They also led to $1.4 billion in cost savings and created or helped retain nearly 53,000 jobs. He said these data were obtained through an independent, third-party survey of more than 7,000 companies that completed projects in 2008. "This is just a snapshot of the types of impacts we have across this program," he said. These results were achieved with $330 million in state and federal funding and fees charged to clients in industry. "These are pretty impressive impact numbers for that kind of investment," he said.
For the U.S. battery industry, the MEP conducted around 120 projects with companies around the country between 2005 and 2009, Mr. Stieren said. The projects involved 47 different companies in 26 states. Roughly one-third of those companies had 50 employees or fewer. About half had more than 100 employees, meaning they are "pretty established in manufacturing," he said. "This is pretty indicative of the type of clients were serve in the MEP," he said.
The challenges addressed by MEP programs "were across the board," he said. They include Six Sigma quality, marketing, road-mapping, lean manufacturing, energy efficiency, export market access, supply-chain management, and product development, he said. These battery projects are credited with helping generate $69 million in sales, $35 million in cost savings, $32 million in investment, and 1,041 new or retained jobs. In 2009 alone, the MEP worked with 12 different battery projects credited with generating $8.6 million in sales.
A new MEP strategy for aiding manufacturers has implications for the battery industry. In its first 20 years or so, "MEP was very focused on product efficiencies and continuous improvement of helping U.S. manufacturing companies compete," he said. "MEP now also is very focused on growth."
The MEP commissioned a survey asking client companies what they saw as their three most strategic challenges over the coming three years. The survey found that "continuous improvement" was seen as manufacturers' biggest challenge, cited by more than 70 percent of respondents. Finding growth opportunities and product innovation also were cited heavily. The MEP tells companies "that if they interact with us they can continue to improve their bottom line and reach their goal of cutting costs by 20 percent," Mr. Stieren said. "They also can look for opportunities to grow. It is not something set in stone. It is a target."
The program's five key focus areas still include continuous improvement, which Mr. Stieren described as "a given" because "you have to be lean, have quality in place, and address that on a continuous basis." Other top priorities are technology acceleration, supplier development, sustainability, and workforce issues.
The MEP advises companies on how to turn their technologies into processes, products, and services needed to bridge the Valley of Death, Mr. Stieren explained. "Our approach is to make the connection between companies

BREAKING-Did city, officials violate open meetings laws?
May 20, 2010
Last Wednesday, just before filing their amended lawsuit against the city in federal court, Geneva Ridge Joint Venture filed a verified complaint with the Walworth County District Attorney's Office citing numerous open meetings law violations by the city of Lake Geneva and its officials. Geneva Ridge Joint Venture attorneys state in their complaint that private meetings were held between certain city officials and special interest groups, that officials improperly communicated by e-mail among themselves and with others concerning opposition to their development and that private, ex parte meetings were held. They claim the instances were all violations of Wisconsin Open Meetings law. The 11-page complaint also cites a closed session meeting held on Oct. 6 that was never convened in open session, which they state is a violation of Wisconsin statute.

Geneva Ridge updates lawsuit claims
Complaint cites official's e-mails, depositions
May 20, 2010
Attorneys believe they now have evidence confirming nine different claims against Lake Geneva officials regarding Geneva Ridge Joint Venture's efforts to develop 718 acres on the southeast side of the city. Last Thursday afternoon, Geneva Ridge — also known as Hummel — filed in U.S. Eastern District Court their first amended complaint against the city. The 61-page document lists nine claims, explanations and references to information from e-mails between city officials. The lengthy discovery process for the lawsuit has produced information from e-mails, computer hard drive scans and depositions of city elected officials. Geneva Ridge attorneys did not have some of that information when the initial suit was filed in October 2009.

'Glee' cast talks Super Bowl episode, Finchel, Wemma and Kurt
The Golden Globe nominations didn't just honor "Glee" with a handful of nods, but it also got the cast talking, which means more details about upcoming episodes, courtesy of E! Online.
In particular, we learn more about the Super Bowl episode, which sounds like such an extravaganza that it made the cast ill. Oops.
We also hear more about the character's various love lives, and yes, that means Finchel. Apparently some of you fans aren't too happy with their breakup.
Okay, first up though is Jane Lynch (above), who hopes to get more screentime with Gwyneth Paltrow in the future. There's also a nice shout out to "Party Down."
Next is the always adorable and humble Chris Colfer. It's a rather long interview, but he does discuss how the fans have really latched onto the idea that Kurt and Blaine should kiss: "Calm down, perverts!" There's also his dream casting ideas for Julie Andrews ... and Anne Hathaway as his lesbian aunt?
Just watch:
Oh, we forgot to mention that sneak attack by Lea Michele. It's so sweet to hear she's Colfer's biggest fan. "I melt on the floor and collapse at what he does," she confesses.
Of course, she needs to address the whole Finchel situation and gives quite a few details about the Super Bowl episode: There's some sort of big scene at the end that somehow impacts Finchel ("Some stuff goes down.") and she does a duet with Puck (Mark Salling).
Finally, we have Matthew Morrison who gives a little hope to those Wemma fans out there:
Hmm, we actually had no expectations about the Super Bowl episode, but now we're very curious.

Bert le Clos had to pay damages and legal fees because of an assault
at a bar in April 2010. The person allegedly assaulted was Durban
chemist Richard Simpson.
The case was meant to be heard at the Pinetown Civil Court on
Thursday but Simpson's attorney, Craig Preston-Whyte said the matter had
been settled.
Criminal charges were laid against Le Clos but he was not convicted. Simpson then filed a civil suit and obtained a default judgment against him last December.
Le Clos told the court he could not pay as he was unemployed and had no money of his own, according to the newspaper.
A warrant of execution was then obtained against his property, but Le Clos did not own any.

The 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division, more usually known as the Kantemirovskaya Division (Cyrillic: гвардейская танковая Кантемировская дивизия, Gvardeiskaya Tankovaya Kantemirovskaya Divisiya) or Kantemir Division, is an elite armoured division of the Russian Ground Forces.
It is one of the key formations of the Western Military District, subordinated to the 20th Guards Army under Lt. General Andrey Tretyak. It is one of the Russian Army's 'constant readiness' divisions, with at least 80% manpower and 100% equipment holdings at all times. All of its units, as well as headquarters, are based in the town of Naro-Fominsk, 70 km south-west of Moscow.
World War II[edit]
The direct ascendant of the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Division was the 17th Tank Corps, initially formed in 1942, which commenced its combat history on 26 June 1942 just prior to the Battle of Voronezh (1942), deployed to the west of the city. For distinction in combat against fascist aggressors in the Middle Don Operation (17-30 December 1942[1]), the Corps was renumbered as the 4th Guards Tank Corps in January 1943. It received the honorific Kantemirovsky after Kantemirovka, the village which was liberated by tank subunits as their baptism of fire.
In the August 1943 formation endured continuous combat on the Belgorod-Kharkiv direction of The Kursk Bulge. For the courage and heroism shown during the liberation of cities on the right-bank Ukraine: Zbarazh, Ternopil, and Shepetovka in April 1944 the Corps was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, and seventeen regiments and separate battalions were awarded honorifics of: Shepetovsky, Zhitomirsky, Yampolsky, and Tarnopolsky.
For clearing Krakow the Corps was awarded the Order of Lenin.
The 4th Guards Tank Corps was among the first to reach the river Elbe, and participated in the capture of Dresden; having made a sudden redeployment to Czechoslovakia, the Corps finished the fighting during the Second World War in the suburbs of Prague. For the courage shown by soldiers and officers of the Corps, during wartime military units were awarded 23 awards, the staff of the Corps was thanked officially by the Supreme commander in chief 18 times, 32 of its members were awarded the Hero of Soviet Union (5 of which are forever enlisted in the unit rolls), more than 20 thousand received awards and medals, five becoming full chevaliers of the Order of Glory.
On 14 June 1945 the 4th Guards Tank Corps became the 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division and on 13 September 1945 it was assigned to the armies of Moscow Military District with a re-deployment to Naro-Fominsk Moscow Region.
Cold War period[edit]
In the autumn of 1946 it participated in the Day of the Tankmen's parade on the Red Square in Moscow. On 23 February 1984 the division received the honorific name "Yuri Andropov".
The division was one of the two major Ground Forces divisions deployed in Moscow in August 1991 as part of the attempted hardline coup against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. The coup's failure strengthened Boris Yeltsin's position in the Russian SFSR, and soon afterwards in the Russian Federation, of which he became President.
Russian Federation[edit]
During the most serious crisis of Yeltsin's premiership, the 1993 constitutional crisis, the Kantemir Division was one of several key divisions that had given their reluctant support to Yeltsin by October 4, the decisive point in the crisis.
Units of the division took part in the First Chechen War. In the early 1990s, the division came under the command of the famous 1st Guards Tank Army, along with the 144th Guards Motor Rifle Division. The 1st GTA had relocated from the former East Germany to Smolensk when Soviet troops left Germany at the beginning of the 90s; it was disbanded in 1998, as was the 144th MRD. Thereafter the Kantemirovskaya Division came under the command of the 20th Guards Army.
Division personnel took part in peace-keeping operations in South Ossetia during 1997, and in Kosovo in 1998-2002, later participating in the Second Chechen War
On 9 May 2005, eight T-80BV tanks from the division took part in the parade in Moscow to mark the 60th anniversary of VE Day. On 27 December 2005, the division was visited by Sergei Ivanov, the Russian Defence Minister. Most recently, in early 2006, the division's 13th Tank Regiment participated, along with other 20th Guards Army units, in the joint Russian-Belorussian "Shield of Union" military exercises.
The Kantemirovsky street in Moscow is named in the honour of the division.
According to the Novosti news agency the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya is on the road of being disbanded by the Russian Defense Ministry. According to the Russian government, the division will be converted into two brigades. The high command of the Russian armed forces has said the newly established brigades would retain their honorary names and banners.[2]
The Ukrainian Government reports that as off November 11th, 2014, the Division has been deployed to Lughansk. This is still unconfirmed at this point in time.
Subordinated units and fighting strength[edit]
2013 Guards Division consists of:
- 12th Guards Tank Regiment
- 13th Guards Tank Regiment
- 14th Guards Tank Regiment
- 423rd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment
- 275th Guards self-propelled artillery Regiment
- 538 Guards air defense missile Regiment
- 137th independent reconnaissance Battalion
- 413th separate Battalion
- 330th separate engineering-sapper Battalion
- 1088th separate support Battalion
- 165th separate medical Battalion
The 4th Guards Tank Division currently has approximately 12,000 personnel in active service.[3]
Unit decorations[edit]
|Order of Lenin
|Order of Red Banner
The division's principal vehicles are the T-80 main battle tank and the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle; it also makes limited use of the BTR-80 and MT-LB armoured personnel carriers, as well as the 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled artillery system and BM-21 Grad MLRS.

In December 2005, Bolivians elected Movement Toward Socialism leader Evo MORALES president - by the widest margin of any leader since the restoration of civilian rule in 1982 - after he ran on a promise to change the country's traditional political class and empower the nation's poor majority.

A little Pierce Brosnan fact-tastic: he was the fifth Bond, star of a fine quartet of movies. GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, that one where he was getting a little too old for this sort of thing a la Roger Moore and Daniel Craig took over… this was good stuff, right here.
Wherever there were dodgy dudes stroking cats in swively office chairs, devising ridiculous megalomaniacal schemes and/or expecting you, our buddy Pierce was there. Those poor bastards never knew what hit them. For a decade, he was James Bond, fearless badass agent dude with a license to kill and no effs to give.
Nevertheless. Great as he was as that smarmy guy in Mrs. Doubtfire, his recent attempt to get his game on with Jimmy Fallon was an embarrassment. It's GoldenEye, for balls' sake. You'd think this would be his milieu. Whatever that means.
Here he is on The Tonight Show, sucking ass at the legendary N64 FPS. We suppose he can be forgiven the rookie mistake of failing to pick up the gun. But flailing madly with his karate chops like he's in the midst of a swarm of flies, thinking that he's firing the gun he isn't holding, before being shot in the face by a prattling talk show host? Up with this we shall not put, Mr. Brosnan. Get your ass in gear.

Final Score: Tampa Bay 2, Boston 1
Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Mike Smith stopped 31-of-32 shots, as Tampa Bay clipped Boston, 2-1, at St. Pete Times Forum.
Alex Tanguay and Martin St. Louis tallied for the Lightning, who have won four of their last five.
"We're playing for our lives right now to get in the playoffs," said Smith. "Every game is big for us, especially conference games. That was a good example of it tonight."
Marco Sturm hit the net for the Bruins, who had won three in a row. Tim Thomas took the loss despite making 37 saves.
"We had our chances tonight," said Sturm. "But we have to bury them better. We should have played the whole game like we did in the third, but we didn't and we didn't deserve to win."
Sturm converted the rebound of Marc Savard's shot, and the Bruins trimmed their deficit to 2-1 with 7 1/2 minutes left in the contest.
The Bolts failed to extend their advantage despite a pair of power plays late in the third period, then Boston had a golden chance to tie the game with Thomas pulled and a power play with 1:27 remaining.
However, Mark Recchi took a slashing penalty with 34 seconds on the clock, and the visitors produced only one scoring chance in the final seconds.
Tampa got on the board with 1:01 left in the first, when Vincent Lecavalier chased down a long shot which Thomas kicked away, controlled the puck and passed between his legs to Tanguay for a tap-in.
St. Louis doubled the advantage with 12 seconds left in the second period, stashing home the rebound of a Kurtis Foster chance.
Game Notes
The Bruins had won four of the previous five meetings with the Lightning...Both clubs are in action on Wednesday, as Tampa Bay hosts Montreal and Boston welcomes Atlanta.

If you visit Transformations and do not spend $225 on a small Buddha, then you're not feeling it.
Noelle Harris and Kristina Sanborn, co-owners of the mystical Belmont Heights store Transformations, meditate and burn incense.
But they sell marble Buddhas, 6-foot-tall wooden carved statues of mermaids, Asian and estate furniture, movie posters, jewelry, gems and minerals, metaphysical books, candles and paintings.
There also are statues of Ishtar, the goddess of love and fertility, and Ganesha – a widely worshipped deity among Hindu sects and other religions that is easily identifiable with its elephant head.
"We seem to have a knack for finding statues," Harris said. "I don't know what talent that is, but it is ours."
Harris and Sanborn employed feng shui techniques to get the right vibes on the store's layout.
Feng shui is a Chinese philosophical practice of arranging living and work spaces to promote harmony and end negativity.
They also have "Psychic Saturdays" with clairvoyant Shari Mosqueira, as well as another teacher who discusses feng shui.
Every day, two flat-screen TVs play filmmaker Gregory Colbert's "Ashes and Snow," a film that captures contact between people and animals in some of the Earth's most remote places.
If you sit and watch the hourlong film, at one point you'll see sand blowing around a man praying in the desert, with leopards lying in the sand behind him.
The New Age music is soothing on the DVD and permeates throughout the store.
There is a mystical feel to the store that was occupied by the card and gift shop Babcock & Cooke, which closed in late 2012 after the former owner, Gregory Taylor, developed Lou Gehrig's disease.
Harris, 55, and Sanborn, 58, are both former actresses without small-business backgrounds, though they've put half a million dollars into getting the store stocked with its eclectic mix of art and home decorating goods.
Harris, who grew up in the East Broadway neighborhood where Transformations is located, has worked on the stage in Los Angeles and Orange County theaters and waited tables to help pay rent and buy food.
Sanborn, a former Huntington Beach resident, came to Long Beach a few years ago and had run an Internet startup that went bust after the Sept. 11 attacks.
She has performed in a string of big-name musicals.

Present Music, Milwaukee's new-music ensemble, is taking its February concert on the road here in town, filling several small, intimate venues with a program of chamber music.
Why, you ask, is it traipsing about town rather than setting up shop with the entire ensemble someplace like Turner Hall, as usual? Because the space in which you hear music has a big impact on the concert experience.
"My vision for this concert was that it would be done several times in hopefully interesting, unusual places," said artistic director Kevin Stalheim.
A handful of ensemble members will perform chamber music, music that is by definition intended for small, intimate spaces, in three very different venues around town.
The first performance of "In the Chamber," which is sold out, will take place at a historic mansion on Milwaukee's east side. The second can be heard at the secluded Schlitz Audubon Nature Center on Brown Deer Road in Bayside, overlooking Lake Michigan.
The third performance will occur at The Hamilton, a bar and event space on E. Hamilton St., which was once part of the Gallun Tannery complex.
"Each of these spaces has a different sound environment," said clarinetist William Helmers. "The shape of the space and its acoustic liveliness really influences how the audience hears the music and how we play."
He explained that the players will adjust details of their performance, such as tempos and warmth of the sound they produce, as they adapt to the acoustics of each space.
Helmers pointed out that beyond the sound, the space also has an enormous effect on the audience's experience of the performance.
"In a small space, where you're sitting up close to the performers, you are really going to hear the small, inner details of the music making that you wouldn't hear at all in a bigger concert hall," he said. "It becomes much more of a physical experience."
He said that everything from the sound of bow hairs on strings and the breathing of the players becomes part of the experience. In addition, the proximity to the ensemble allows the audience to see the eye contact, body language and subtle communication between performers in a way that just can't happen in a large hall.
"You might find yourself making eye contact with the musicians, at least if there are enough rests for us to look around a little," he said.
What: Present Music's "In the Chamber"
When and where: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, 1111 E. Brown Deer Road; 7:30 p.m. Feb. 23, The Hamilton, 823 E. Hamilton St.
Tickets: $25-$35. Visit www.presentmusic.org or call (414) 271-0711, Ext. 2.

Lowe's Wins 2012 Store Operations Superstar Award for Innovation in Customer Engagement from Retail TouchPoints
Powered by EcoRebates Mobile/Local Incentive Management Platform, the home improvement retailer arms sales associates with dynamic in-store and online tools to help customers find locally available, rebates, offers and promotions for thousands of product SKUs
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2012
EcoRebates, a leading provider of web and mobile local product incentive search tools for retailers and brands, today announced that Lowe´s, the second-largest home improvement retailer in the world with more than 1,745 stores, was named a Retail TouchPoints 2012 Store Operations Superstar. The retailer was recognized with a gold award for its innovative and successful store operations in the Customer Engagement category.
Lowe´s vision is to provide each customer — across any channel — with a personalized and relevant shopping experience enabled by technology. The company recognizes that today´s value-conscious consumers look for product offers as a key decision point as they research and purchase home improvement products and appliances. Working with EcoRebates, Lowe´s introduced its comprehensive Rebate Center online in late 2011, bringing a simplified and easy way for store associates and customers to search and access thousands of SKU-level, locally available product offers from clothes washers and water heaters to paint and power tools.
Mobile is a key piece of Lowe´s efforts and a priority investment to further enhance the in-store shopping experience. The company has already deployed 42,000 iPhones with customized apps for both employees and customers. In a matter of weeks, Lowe´s was able to add the Rebate Center tool, powered by EcoRebates, onto its mobile platform. The move puts these industry leading tools into the hands of the Lowe´s sales associates — further enhancing their knowledge-based customer service approach — and delivering in-aisle access to this compelling and comprehensive product offer information.
"We want to help customers answer the specific questions they have when they are in one of our stores. We focused on training sales associates on the mobile app, enabling them to use the Rebate Center to advocate for customers and educate them on specific products and available offers," said Harry Gardner, Manager Store Policy and Promotion at Lowe´s. "Employee feedback through town hall meetings has been really positive."
"We´re honored to have received this recognition from Retail TouchPoints," noted Jay Deaton, Director — Operations Support | Store Mobility at Lowe´s. "Our initiative is in its early stage. We see the ability to deliver personalized, real-time product specific offers in our mobile tools as transformational to the Lowe´s customer shopping experience and we will continue to enhance and measure this capability with additional exposure and expanded offers."
Many shoppers are unaware that manufacturers, utilities and state governments offer consumer rebates and incentives for buying energy efficient and home improvement products or that multiple utility and retail incentives can be combined to maximize savings. With Lowe´s Rebate Center technology, all types of offers are readily accessible at the product SKU level.
"Lowe´s recognizes that ultimately its success will be measured by how they customize available technologies to empower people — both sales associates and customers — to easily find and use vast quantities of dynamic, real-time product and offer information to solve challenges and personalize purchase decisions," noted the Retail TouchPoints report.
"We congratulate Lowe´s on this wonderful recognition from Retail TouchPoints," remarked Brett Battles, CEO of EcoRebates. "The Lowe´s team has a vision for transforming the shopping experience and we´re pleased to provide our product offer search tools as an important piece of that effort. Using mobile to ℠web-enable´ the store combines the depth and breadth of a dynamic product offer database with the immediacy of in-store product evaluation."

text: The Blue Talon wiki last edited by DarthNil on 04/29/13 03:30AM View full history Yamura aka Blue Talon is a skilled martial artist from Japan that was hired by Damon Dran to eliminate Daredevil. Damon Dran held the Black Widow and a man named Danny French captive because they had information on an energy globe he wanted. Daredevil was looking for Natasha and Damon Dran wanted the man without fear dead before he interfered with his plans. Daredevil engaged Blue Talon outside the office of Danny French and remembered him from a documentary he made several years ago on the martial arts. Blue Talon was eager to test his skills and deadly blades on a skilled, agile enemy since he lost the delicate use of his hands. Blue Talon swings away but his blades could not draw blood and dies when he strikes a gas main and causes a small explosion. CreationBlue Talon was created by Gerry Conway and Gene Colan in 1972 and first appeared in Daredevil # 92. Skills & WeaponsBlue Talon is a skilled martial artist that wears a blade on each hand to slice and slash his enemies.
