The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation launched a partnership with The Huffington Post's "Small Business America" entrepreneurship blog today by posting the first of what will be regular columns written by the Foundation's economic and entrepreneurship experts.
The term entrepreneur has what I like to refer to as positive brand confusion. Whereas the opinions range in scale from the billion dollar company to the life style enterprise, most people nevertheless have a positive connotation of what an entrepreneur is. This post shows that an entrepreneurial mindset can exist almost anywhere people are paying attention to problems while working towards solutions.
President Obama and his cabinet secretaries visited Northeast Ohio to talk about issues, opportunities, and new ideas around entrepreneurship.
Rachel Swardson started with the idea that newborn babies should not be the only ones who get fussed over upon delivery. Now, 14 hospital customers later, an in-hospital massage therapy service for postnatal women has expanded to a hospital wellness service across clinical areas and genders. Read about this entrepreneur's healthcare business plan will move forward.

Startup America Partnership CEO Scott Case was asked about women entrepreneurs' lack of access to venture capital. Case said one challenge facing both women and minority entrepreneurs is "they're not visible to us." As a result, Faye Anderson launches "The Innovators" website.
There is a myth out there about the sole entrepreneur who has the idea, starts the company and gets rich. While there might be cases where this does happen – more frequently there is a team...

US: NFL's Chris Culliver spends day with LGBT support centre

That's simply not good enough.
And the Trevor Project really shouldn't be such wimps about it.
Did this bigot face any punishment from his team for his discriminatory beliefs which brought the name of his team and sport into disrepute.
Why are organisations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project so desperate to support bigots.
If this bigot had made racist comments I suspect 8 hours of 'sensitivity training' would not have been the end of his punishment.
A punishment of 8 hours 'sensitivity training' is not going to discourage homophobia.
I'll bet this bigot is laughing at how he has escaped any sort of censure for his stupidity and bigotry.
So someone could say something like that, and then just say "I didn't mean it", and everything is suddenly okay?
The guy is a homophobe, he made that clear in his unscripted and unguarded honest comments.
As I said before, the only thing worse than a bigot, is a wimp bigot who doesn't have the balls to stand by his opinion and face the debate.
The man is doing all of this to save his career and prevent the continued bad publicity. If anyone thinks otherwise then they are the most naive idiot in the room.
Or perhaps they're the people who have the faith to think that some people have the capacity to change rather than labelling someone a bigot for life for a single comment they made.
Why do some people always assume the worst in someone's intentions? Is there any need other than to fuel your desire to continue your use of the B word?
Perhaps he has the capacity to change.
But through his homophobic bigotry he brought his team and sport into disrepute.
And he went unpunished for it.
That speaks volumes.
Maybe he should have been punished but this is a happy ending of sorts. If he has been enlightened by working at the Trevor Project then some good has been done. People can change. You can't campaign against homophobia and refuse to accept people who have a change of heart.
He made one slip up in his life and he's trying his best to make up for it. In the U.S. where intolerance and bigotry still go unchallenged in many places, he could have chosen to ignore the criticisms and gone on being a homophobe and his career probably wouldn't have been effected any. But he's clearly repented for his actions and is continuing to help with the Trevor Project even after this. If we want others to change, we have to be willing to forgive when someone honestly seeks forgiveness. Just compare Chris Culliver's response to Tim Tebow who is still going to speak at homophobic organizations and there's no comparison between the two. People make mistakes in life. He's trying to make up for it and move on and we in the gay community hould too.
He told an interviewer: "I don't do the gay guys man… I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff."
He's obviously very uneducated, in need of English lessons and diversity training.

FAMILY FEUD Hits All-Time High in Key Demo
The nationally Syndicated "Family Feud," from producer FremantleMedia North America and distributor Debmar-Mercury, hit a record 6.1 household rating during the week ending Jan. 26, marking the first time the fast-rising game show surpassed the 6.0 rating threshold and its highest number since the advent of Nielsen People Meters in 1988.
"Feud" also scored a post-1988 high of a 3.1 nationally in the key advertiser demo of women 25-54, up from the previous high-water mark of a 2.9. It improved 11% over last week and15% from the comparable week a year ago in the demo, while once again surpassing longtime champ "Wheel of Fortune" (3.0) and its companion "Jeopardy" (2.7). Additionally, among adults 25-54, "Feud" (2.7) finished in second place just behind No. 1-rated first-run strip "Judge Judy" (2.8).
The performance puts the Steve Harvey-hosted "Feud," now cleared by Debmar-Mercury between 5 and 8 p.m. in more than 70% of the U.S., up 7% in household ratings over the prior week, 20% versus the comparable week last season and an astronomical 336% since Harvey assumed the hosting reins in September 2010.
In total viewers, "Feud" garnered more than 9.2 million for the week, up 9% from the previous week and 18% from a year ago.

I'm just wondering if this plugin works well with Multisite. The plugin I was using previously for this kind of thing is now outdated and not working with 3.5.
I'm just wondering if this plugin works well with Multisite. The plugin I was using previously for this kind of thing is now outdated and not working with 3.5.
I installed and network activated on a Multisite. There's no "Network Level" settings, but it seemed to work fine.
What happened to the option to change a username? I'd specifically like to change the "admin" username for security, but don't see that option as shown in the screenshot.
Hi Good questions. Did you get it to work for a multi site?
I have +500 spam blogs that I deleted on the admin side but they are still present as DBs. I want to get them out of the DBs. Will this plugin do that for me on a multi install of wordpress?
I did install it an it does work. However, it works on a site-by-site basis from what I can tell. I don't think it cleans the whole network. And I'm almost positive it won't remove those old sites from your database. This is a feature I've asked several plugin developers to create/add. When you delete a site in Multisite, it leaves a bunch of tables created by the various plugins (especially those network activated) that were running on that site. It's not too difficult to do an audit and see which sites still exist, then delete all those that don't. However, that's only true if you have a few deleted sites. It would be super handy for instances like yours for a plugin to detect which had been deleted and remove the remaining tables from the database.
Hope this plugin or some other one will add that kind of network-level multisite support.
Thanks Tevya
I agree. It would be a cool tool.
But it looks like a process and more to get it. A WordPress user B. Schuiling suggested some ideas on how it can be done. But there does seem to be plugin and he suggests getting someone to write it. I think he may be able to do it at a fee. I did not check it with him.
I must check if my host can do a once off for me.
Have a look here
Hello guys, yes it works in a site by site basis.. currently no network supported as of now.
Please add multisite support!
Multisite support is at this moment a bit complicated. I am thinking of disabling the plugin for multisite or find a way to enable it only for the multisite main admin. Still a matter of R&D.
My multisite installation is in one DB. I have WP Optimize activated on just my root site. When I optimize from my root site all sites are optimized.
Yes if you have it activated on the root site. you will be able to optimize all sites db (since it is in the same db)

Magnificent 1894 Gem Proof Liberty Quarter Eagle1894 $2 1/2 PR65 PCGS. Of the 122 proof Quarter Eagles struck in 1894, it has been estimated that fewer than half are extant today. The 1894 is also a difficult issue as a business strike, with only 4,000 coins produced. This is an astonishing proof specimen, with ultra-deep mirrors that shimmer with reflectivity and stark cameo contrast against the "blackness" of the fields. There are no reportable or distracting blemishes or alloy spots. The combination of obvious rarity and spectacular eye appeal should lead to extensive bidder interest on this magnificent 19th century proof gold coin. Population: 19 in 65, 4 finer (11/01).

Frank Vicari
Frank Vicari (April 11, 1931 – October 20, 2006) was a New York-based jazz saxophonist.
After serving in the Air Force from 1951–55, where he played in various service bands, Vicari returned to New York City and played in various bands until he joined Maynard Ferguson's big band in 1960.[1] When the Ferguson band was dismantled in 1965, Vicari briefly joined Buddy Rich but that same year joined Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd [1] and remained until 1970.
Closely associated with New York's vibrant music scene of the 70s and 80s, Vicari frequently played alongside fellow NY-based session and studio musicians such as Steve Gadd, Mike Mainieri, Randy and Michael Brecker, etc.
Among the many artists and groups Vicari played and/or recorded with are Dave Matthews, the White Elephant Orchestra, George Benson, Tony Bennett, Dionne Warwick, Billy Eckstein, Tom Waits, John Lennon, Woody Herman, and the Saturday Night Live Band.[2]

Medicare, one of our nation's most cherished social programs, turned 45 last week. I was in active medical practice on July 30, 1965, when Medicare was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Its impact on older Americans and their families was swift and spectacular. I saw the results with my own eyes.

Forty-five years ago today, on July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson flew to Independence, Missouri, to mark a milestone in the long struggle to establish healthcare as a right, not a privilege, for all Americans.

The grassroots single-payer movement in Vermont reflects the growing belief that the fight to make health care a human right must come from the states. But will the passage of federal reform get in the way?
Posted on Monday, August 2, 2010By Dr. Carol Paris | South Maryland Newspapers
July 30 marks the 45th birthday of the Medicare program. Since the passage of this landmark legislation in 1965, Medicare has substantially lowered poverty among the elderly in our country, reducing the dilemma of having to choose between buying needed health care or buying groceries. While the cost of health care keeps rising, the cost is rising more slowly for those on Medicare than for those with private health insurance.
Posted on Monday, August 2, 2010By Joseph Birnbaum | Times Herald-Record (Middletown, N.Y.)
Despite the valuable controls being put in place to prevent the insurance companies from denying and limiting needed care, the fact remains that Big Insurance and Big Pharma (the medical/industrial complex) are still in firm control of our health-care system and will still be able to spend 25-35 percent (or more) of your health-care dollars on management, marketing and huge administrative salaries.

Say "Happy Birthday" to Medicare, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson 45 years ago, on July 30, 1965. This national program provides health insurance coverage for everyone 65 years and older, regardless of income or health status, as well as covering people with disabilities. Our senior citizens love Medicare, which, along with Social Security, has substantially lowered poverty among the elderly, providing a secure safety net for our most vulnerable citizens.

New census data released Tuesday confirm a huge spread in the rate of uninsured from state to state and the big difference in impact that can be expected as a result of the health-care overhaul recently passed by Congress.
Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010By Wendell Potter | The Huffington Post
The nation's biggest insurers -- not happy with provisions of the four-month-old health care reform law that would force many of them to spend more of the money they collect in premiums for their policyholders' medical care -- are pressuring regulators to disregard what members of Congress intended when they wrote the law, so that they can keep raking in huge profits for their Wall Street owners. If they are successful, many policyholders will soon be shelling out even more than they do today to enrich insurance company shareholders and CEOs. Billions of dollars are at stake, which is why the insurers and their symbiotic allies are pulling out all the stops to gut a key part of the law that would require them to spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar they take in for medical care.

As a dedicated activist for single-payer health care, it has become crystal clear to me that the private, for-profit health insurance companies are the biggest detriment to having a health care system in the United States that is comparable to the rest of the developed nations of the world.

The exchange student from Belfast, Northern Ireland, was beaten with a bat and suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Natasha did live and so began her odyssey through the for-profit American health care system.

Since the health insurance reform bill passed this past spring, you'd think we suddenly stopped having American patients die and suffer unimaginable horror at the hands of the corporate owned and operated healthcare business system in the United States. No one tells the stories. The reality is that patients were props, and they just aren't needed as props any more.
Posted on Monday, July 26, 2010By Kip Sullivan | PNHP Blog
This six-part series originally posted at PNHP's blog explores the research on American attitudes about a single-payer (or Medicare-for-all) system to evaluate the truth of the new version of the "yes but" argument. We will see that the research demonstrates that approximately two-thirds of Americans support a Medicare-for-all system despite constant attacks on Medicare and the systems of other countries by conservatives.

My particular expertise in health system research is in billing and insurance-related administrative costs. My colleagues and I have demonstrated that as much as 1 dollar in seven that goes into a medical office is used to collect payment – for contracting, billing, copayment collection, and repeated appeals of claim denials. Overall, for health care funded through the private insurance system, fully 38 cents of each dollar goes to administration and profits, leaving only 62 cents for clinical care. 20 cents is avoidable administration – which would mainly disappear with single payer. This translates to billions of dollars that become available to pay for health care – more than $200 billion per year in the United States, and $30 billion in California.

We in the US have "choice" and "competition" up to our eyebrows in a privatised system run – even after the recent healthcare "reform" – in the interest of the for-profit health insurance industry. Our system, leaving 50 million Americans out entirely and bankrupting 1.2 million every year because of medical bills, costs twice what yours does.

I was troubled and sleep-deprived by these past several years of frustrations and struggles to achieve a seemingly simple straightforward goal for this great Republic, namely health care for all, Medicare-type coverage, cradle to grave, such as all other advanced countries provide their citizens. Enacting legislation, single payer, has lain in the congressional hopper for years, where it is kept buried by the powerful lobbyists of the health care oligarchs.

Health care costs remain a major concern of all Americans. Inflation in such costs has become increasingly important in our fragile economy. Expanding alarmingly, much faster than that of the economy in general, these costs are dipping deeply into the ballooning budgets of middle Americans.

The solution, favored by a solid majority of the American people and physicians, is an improved Medicare for all -- single-payer national health insurance. Such a program would cover everyone, without exception, and give us the cost-control tools we need to deliver high-quality care over the long haul.

The single-payer model precludes private insurance that duplicates the public coverage – a measure required both to control costs and to avoid the emergence of two-class care. The question of how to treat nonprofit, staff- and group-model HMOs is complex because they combine a nonprofit provider of care (clearly acceptable in a single-payer model) with a private insurance plan (which is not acceptable). After much debate, PNHP decided to include such organizations in its proposals, but with tight restrictions to minimize the problems inherent in the insurance component of HMOs.

In setting up his National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, Barack Obama is again playing coy in public, but his intentions are widely understood among Washington insiders. The president intends to offer Social Security as a sacrificial lamb to entice conservative deficit hawks into a grand bipartisan compromise in which Democrats agree to cut Social Security benefits for future retirees while Republicans accede to significant tax increases to reduce government red ink.
Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2010By Greg Anrig | The Huffington Post
Advocates of cutting Social Security benefits often argue ruefully that they wish that there was some other way to "save" the program. But, they say sadly, the only realistic choices involve shared sacrifice and pain. So they recommend changes like further delays in the age when full retirement benefits can be collected, reducing cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security payments, and other cuts that would reduce how much future retirees are scheduled to receive.

Today, Canada's expenditures on health care match those by other OECD countries. The public share of overall health costs in Canada is relatively low for high-income OECD countries, around 70 per cent. Private insurance, primarily for prescription drugs and dentistry, now accounts for 12.7 per cent of Canadian health spending, 14th highest in the world. The OECD outlier is the United States, where extensive private finance supports uncontrollable cost escalation (now over 16 per cent of GDP). Getting these costs under control will be the major task facing Obama's health-care reform.

To the long list of barriers Latinos face in getting care in this country, the Arizona immigration law adds another. Our health care system works best when chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma are controlled.

More importantly, Juan likely would have suffered long term health effects impacting the quality of his daily life.

With the enactment of a large economic stimulus package, fiscal conservatives are using the temporary deficit increase to attack a perennial target -- Social Security and Medicare. The private-equity investor Peter G. Peterson, who launched a billion-dollar foundation last year to warn that America faces $56.4 trillion in "unfunded liabilities," is a case in point. Supposedly, these costs will depress economic growth and crowd out other needed outlays, such as investments in the young. The remedy: big cuts in programs for the elderly.

New HTC One E9+ photos provide the best look yet
It's not uncommon to know a lot about a new smartphone or tablet before they hit the streets – it's just part of the game these days. That's been the case with every handset HTC has released over the past few years, and now we're getting what may be the final look at the HTC One E9+ before it becomes official.
HTC T1H specs show a new 8.9-inch HTC tablet
Earlier today we told you about a slew of upcoming devices from HTC, and talked about the HTC A50AML smartphone. Now we're going to take a look at a device that could be its companion with the HTC T1H. It's a new tablet from the company, and it could be one to watch considering what they did with the Nexus 9.

iPhone 6 vs HTC One M9, usage decides

You can use $77MM as the total revenue from the sale of silver for the two years. Please inform us using actual numbers from last year in the SEC filings and projected numbers for expenses this year how you believe the g was breakeven for OMEX? We are all ready.
Sentiment: Buy
I think the real question, and possibly the reason the stock sold off today, is " how much money is OMEX going to have when all is said, and done and when are they are going to get some more?" They will probably have a tidy sum ( I'll guess $24M with the Mantola) but I believe they will need to plow virtually all of that into their future projects relatively quickly. It is conceivable that they don't report any profit at all for this year or even next year. We really have no idea what specific future projects are planned and what kind of revenue they will bring in, Commodity recovery will probably bring in incremental revenue after expenses, If this proves profitable It will, pay the bills while the big projects drag on The odds of the Victory having gold on board (and of Odyssey getting any of it next year) are only slightly higher than the odds there is still uninsured silver on the G. right? It is a wonderful project, but it may not be a giant windfall. They can sell off more parts of Oceania if they choose, and I am sure they are also going to announce plans for other treasure recovery efforts, but those projects can take a very long time to pan out, and many times they don't pan out at all. So by this time next year Odyssey could be in a situation like they were this Spring, all ready to go on missions that they HOPE bring them a lot of money but if they don't the company would be in real financial straits.
That said, I hope to be able to add more shares this week
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The commodity wrecks should be quick in making a nice income stream
You probably forgot about them 230 million dollars !
I can answer that for you. He used a negative number for "good will" on his balance sheet!!
Seeking clarification please. From the G & M, Odyssey receives 80% after expenses. All recent posts detailing G profits show Odyssey paying for the SBW charter and thus subtracted from their final profits. Is this correct? Why wouldn't the SBW charter costs be considered an expense obligation to Britain vs Odyssey?
That is the best you have?
G and M project costs (that you are aware of)=$77MM-($22.5 GALT)-$3MM (refining costs)-$20MM (for SW)-$15MM (20% for HMG)-$16MM (Ocean Explorer cost for 8 months search)-(Cost of buying location)-$??MM(Cost of the 2 vessel charters for the search (for 2 years))-$???(OMEX administrative costs).
The only 'hedge' was likely the $15 million from hocking the silver to First Fifth, that 'loan' fixed the price at that time.
Are you really stupid enough to believe that this find will not be buried in the debts of the years of searching, admin costs, and the amounts due to GALT, banks, and all of the Odyssey subsidiaries?
When the Gairsoppa project was first announced, old Smitty (garscrappa II -- his first one was deleted by Yahoo for legal reasons) told everyone, every day, that Odyssey would "never" find an ounce of silver.
A few months later, they did just that, hauling in 40 tons worth.
He then said repeatedly they'd "never" find another ounce of silver, and even argued Odyssey was purposely misleading investors by saying they were going back to what he claimed was an empty shipwreck.
Yet, just a few days ago, they pulled into port with the remainder of the insured silver -- or, 99 percent of the total amount lost.
And now?
Well, surprise, surprise: now he wants to tell everyone that Odyssey won't make any money from the deal.
See how that works? First he says they won't recover anything, and when they do, the entire amount, he says they won't profit from it. (As if his daily routine of posting here doesn't already speak highly enough of his business acumen,)
You see, there's reality, then there's Smitty reality, which comes from the dark uninformed netherworld of his Godforsaken poop deck.
This is what he does. This is all he does. It's why Odyssey is on the Today Show, and he's on a mugshot for crimes against humanity.
Simple as that.
Do you own DD.
"Do you own DD." ~ Smitty
See how that works?
Smitty likes to denigrate others' ability to decipher financials, yet when asked to explain how he comes up with his numbers, he responds with a dismissal that translates to "I don't know, I'm just making this s h i t up."
He's special like that...

Just read through all of this; great work here. I really enjoy the interactions between Tsukune, Moka, and Akuha.
| Psyker Sieg chapter 1 . 3/26
I'm sure that you get "this is incredible" all the time, but it is.
One of the best and most interesting reads I've have on this site.
Tough I do want to say, if you haven't already, you might want to upload this on a site like adultfanfiction, just to be safe, cause there are some people being seriously up tight about reporting.
Ah, I know I'm commenting on chapter 1, but I've read all the chapters. Never reviewed before because no words I had could do this justice. This could very well have been an alternate take on the series.
This was mainly just for the warning.
| maxe03 chapter 6 . 3/26
Wow sounds and mom a are dumber than I th out and I'm shocked that you have the realms acting like the fake
| Anlanther chapter 19 . 3/3
Great chapter! For a moment there, since you spent a lot of time on Moka's POV, I was so sure that you would leave us hanging on the ledge of that previous cliff-hanger. Every time you moved on to a different part of the chapter, I became increasingly worried that you would not talk about Akuha and the crew at all and leave us hanging off a really tall cliff... actually, now that I think about it, you still kinda did...
Argh, anyway, going back, again, love your writing style and where this is going. It's really interesting how different your writing style is from those that I have read so far. Very backwards, allowing for more emotion to be omitted. It's very much how I would like mine to be XP . Moving away from that, I'm so happy that Miyabi is finally out of the picture–well I hope he is–and how Moka has finally been able to escape. I actually thought she was never going to figure a way out on her own. That was, I must say, very clever of you.
And, as per usual, PLEASE UPDATE SOON! I'm really looking forward seeing how Akuha and Tsukune would fare on their own as well as how Moka would get her way through that island. Oh, and one last thing that I remembered only a bit ago, shouldn't drinking Akuha's blood be dangerous? I remember Moka saying that drinking a vampire's blood would be really bad for Tsukune and non-vampires in general. Or was that done on purpose? XD
| DraacoClaye chapter 19 . 2/19
So where is Tsukune my good sir?
| Zealot90 chapter 19 . 2/11
Finally an update!
Great writing as usual! I hope to see more soon. Keep it coming!
| Last Comma 1st chapter 19 . 2/10
While I love this story, I don't feel like this was your strongest chapter. The main problem I had was the overabundance of flowery/poetic language. Literary devices such as reverse sentence structure should be used sparingly to provide emphasis to particular sentences. This becomes even more of an issue when it bleeds into the dialogue. Apart from the fact that the characters simply don't talk like that, their "voices" lose individuality when they talk the same way each other, and/or the narrator. Maybe you were experimenting with something new (I don't recall the same style in earlier chapters, though it has been a month or two since I last read this story), but in my opinion, it didn't work out very well.
As far as plot, well, it was a short chapter so not much was going on, but I enjoyed the new developments. I would have preferred that Moka's means of escape had been foreshadowed in an earlier chapter, as opposed to the beginning of this one, but that's only a personal preference and the way you did it works as well.
Despite issues in this chapter, I still very much enjoy this story. I would love to hear your thoughts on the above points. I'm trying to give advice that I think would be helpful, so hearing your POV would be great.
I look forward to your next update.

| Guest chapter 19 . 2/10
In My opniin Taukune deserve Both Moka and Akua. Please do not simply let it be Tsukune x Akua. Think about.
| Dany le fou chapter 19 . 2/10
It's back, yeah! And you even brought back badass Moka with you!
I hope Moka isn't getting recaptured anytime soon, things have been going Gyokuro's way too much over the last few chapters, she deserves a few wrenches in her plans. I'm kinda hoping Moka will run into Akuha, but it would be awfully convenient if they'd ended up near each other.
Oh, and of course, they've got to find Tsukune too, so they can get their reunion threesome.
| BattleHQ chapter 19 . 2/10
My god...another chapter...you have no idea how happy i am...bless you for writing this story...
| mac10m1 chapter 19 . 2/10
Wow, what a chapter! It was well worth the wait. Props on your spelling and grammar as usual, and I definitely enjoyed the action scenes. I await the next chapter with baited breath, I need to know what happened to Tsukune. Keep up the excellent work!
| reality deviant chapter 19 . 2/10
nice update.
and monster vs deserted? island -interesting clash.
Moka's roaring rampage of revenge was nicely done
| Velshard chapter 19 . 2/10
Sweet, a pretty good chapter overall, though somewhat disappointingly short, still it was nice to for one. See Moka go apeshit on fairytale, and two. Find out the fate of the SS01's crew. A bit disappointed about not finding out not learning Tsukune's fate as well but I'm certain he somehow managed to get himself saved by some ayashi beauty due to his preternatural charm. Or some such thing, but whatever it is I'm sure you'll keep things interesting.
Until next time, happy trails.

On Tuesday, the New York Academy of Art held its annual Take Home a Nude auction at Sotheby's York Avenue headquarters. As usual, the fund-raiser had a few hundred benevolent partygoers sipping Champagne while perusing the works on the block by the academy's emerging artists. Among those on hand for the Chanel-sponsored event and dinner were Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy, Scott Campbell and Lake Bell, Petra Nemcova, Annabelle Dexter-Jones and the night's honoree, Walton Ford, who gamely posed for photographers with L'Wren Scott and Daphne Guinness.
Naomi Watts made the rounds in a floral-print Erdem dress, ready to buy.
"You know, paintings are more expensive," she said of her collecting habits. "That's why I like coming here: emerging artists… Look I've got my [paddle]. I bought a painting here last year…It's still in storage."
All told the night moved 188 works and raised more than $900,000 for the academy.

Earlier this week, the Goethe Institut in Chicago announced that Jean Snook was this year's winner of the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's Prize for her translation of Austrian writer Gert Jonke's The Distant Sound, which was published by Dalkey Archive Press.
Here's what the jury had to say:
The jury for the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize is pleased to award the prize for 2010 to Jean Snook for her translation of Gert Jonke's The Distant Sound, published by Dalkey Archive Press. The Austrian novelist, poet, and playwright Gert Jonke (1946-2009) wrote a German rich in descriptive detail and evocative sound effects that Snook has rendered with consummate skill into an English as poetic, funny, and crazy as the original. In long, spooling sentences and synaesthetic images, she gives English-speaking readers access to a writer who deserves a place next to better-known contemporaries such as Thomas Bernhard and Arno Schmidt. Jean Snook makes the tightrope act of translating Jonke's exploration of language as a means of capturing the ineffable look effortless.
This is the fourth book of Jonke's Dalkey has published. The last—Homage to Czerny, also translated by Snook—was longlisted for the 2008 BTBA. And while we're talking about Jonke, it's worth revisiting the obituary Vincent Kling wrote about him when he passed away.
In terms of Jean M. Snook, she
lives with her husband on the easternmost tip of North America, the Avalon Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland, where she has taught German language and literature at Memorial University since 1984. She has translated Else Lasker-Schüler's Concert and Luise Rinser's Abelard's Love for the University of Nebraska Press; Evelyn Grill's Winter Quarters for Ariadne Press; Hans Eichner's Kahn & Engelmann for Biblioasis; and, thanks to a reference from translator Renate Latimer, Gert Jonke's Homage to Czerny: Studies in Virtuoso Technique for Dalkey Archive Press, where she received very welcome editorial assistance from Jeremy Davies. Continuing with Dalkey Archive Press, she began translating Jonke's The Distant Sound during a stay at the Europäisches Übersetzerkollegium in Straelen, Germany, in 2007, and finished the translation in 2009, when it won the inaugural Austrian Cultural Forum Translation Prize. Her translation of the third book in Jonke's trilogy, Awakening to the Great Sleep War, is due to appear later in 2011. She is now translating a book by the Swiss author Paul Nizon.
Congrats! And the official ceremony will take place on June 13th, right before the start of the annual Helen and Kurt Wolff Symposium.

The New York Dolls are an American hard rock band formed in New York City in 1971. Along with the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, they were one of the first bands in the early punk rock scene. Although their original line-up fell apart quickly, the band's first two albums—New York Dolls (1973) and Too Much Too Soon (1974)—became among the most popular cult records in rock. The line-up at this time comprised vocalist David Johansen, guitarist Johnny Thunders, bassist Arthur Kane, guitarist and pianist Sylvain Sylvain, and drummer Jerry Nolan; the latter two had replaced Rick Rivets and Billy Murcia, respectively, in 1972. On stage, the New York Dolls donned an androgynous wardrobe, wearing high heels, eccentric hats, and satin. Nolan described the group at the time as "the Dead End Kids of today".
