Filed 10/5/10 Reilly v. Cowitt CA2/4 NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION FOUR MARK REILLY et al., B220439 Plaintiffs and Respondents, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. BC392647) v. RICHARD L. COWITT et al., as Trustees, etc., Defendants and Appellants. APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, John A. Kronstadt, Judge. Affirmed. Law Offices of Frances L. Diaz and Frances L. Diaz for Defendants and Appellants. Snyder ♦ Dorenfeld, David K. Dorenfeld and Michael W. Brown for Plaintiffs and Respondents. _____________________________ This is an appeal from the denial of a petition to compel arbitration. The trial court found that appellants waived their right to arbitrate. We agree and affirm the order. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL SUMMARY In July 2005, respondents Mark Reilly and Robin Morselli purchased a single family home in Agoura Hills from appellants Richard L. Cowitt and Judith A. Cowitt, individually and as cotrustees of the Richard and J.A. Cowitt Family Trust. The standard form residential purchase agreement published by the California Association of Realtors was used for the transaction. This agreement contained a provision for alternative dispute resolution. The parties agreed to mediate any dispute before resorting to arbitration or court action, and pursuant to a separately initialed arbitration provision, they agreed that any dispute not resolved by mediation would be submitted to neutral binding arbitration. In June of the following year, respondents notified appellants and the real estate agents of various problems with the property, including drainage issues and excessive noise from neighbors. They asserted these were defects which should have been disclosed, but were not. Respondents made informal efforts to resolve the dispute, but ultimately retained attorney Brian Kahn to assist them. In December 2006, Mr. Kahn wrote a letter to Frances Diaz, appellants" counsel, setting out the problems with the property and demanding mediation. After several telephone conversations, an informal mediation session was scheduled for March 2007, then was rescheduled for April 4, 2007. The mediation was conducted but no settlement resulted. The attorneys exchanged several emails and telephone calls over the next few months. On July 24, 2007, Mr. Kahn sent a letter to Ms. Diaz demanding arbitration. She responded that the arbitration demand was premature because there had not been a mediation with a professional mediator, as required under the purchase agreement. Mr. Kahn responded by letter that he and respondents considered the April mediation sufficient to satisfy the contract requirements. Despite this position, he proposed that 2 appellants select a mediator from an enclosed list. Ms. Diaz agreed to the use of Deborah Rothman as mediator. On September 26, 2007, Mr. Kahn sent a letter to Ms. Diaz regarding Ms. Rothman"s availability in November or December. The mediation was never scheduled. According to Mr. Kahn, Ms. Diaz never responded to his September letter. According to appellants, respondents failed to arrange the mediation. Respondents relieved Mr. Kahn and retained new counsel. On June 13, 2008, respondents filed this action against appellants, their real estate agents, respondents" real estate agent, real estate broker, and the home inspector hired by respondents. On October 21, 2008, the matter came on for a case management conference before Judge (now Justice) Elizabeth Grimes. Counsel for respondents did not appear. Ms. Diaz appeared for appellants. Counsel for defendant Coldwell Banker requested a continuance because its cross-complaint had not yet been answered and there was a defendant who had not yet been served. Ms. Diaz agreed: "I think continuing this conference at least 45 days would really be important because we don"t even have all the parties." The court continued the conference to December. At the December 3, 2008 case management conference, Judge Grimes began to discuss available dates in June 2009. Appellants" counsel asked, "A June date for what?" The court explained it was for trial, at which point Ms. Diaz told the court "the matter had been agreed upon as requiring mediation" before going to trial. The court replied, "Yes, I"ll refer you to mediation, but if that fails, you"ll need a trial, won"t you?" Ms. Diaz responded, "It was my understanding that the plaintiffs" attorney had agreed that all the parties have to submit to mediation prior to having the matter set before the superior court because of the real estate contract." To this, the court replied, "Who do you think I am?" Respondents" counsel, David Dorenfeld, corrected Ms. Diaz"s statement. "There was a prelitigation mediation in compliance with the agreement. I agreed with counsel that we would try to mediate again, but it was not in any way imposing on the court to postpone a trial date." The court observed that "the likelihood of this case going to trial 3 is less than 99.9 percent." But the court also observed that "nothing gets a case settled more than a firm trial date in a department where the judge is known for not continuing cases." To this, Ms. Diaz replied, "June would be fine with me, your honor." After further discussion of dates, the court set July 20, 2009 for trial. Ms. Diaz stated, "Good for me, your honor." Mr. Dorenfeld asked for a referral to mediation "with a cutoff date, and I think that we probably would select a private mediator." The court asked what cutoff date to order. Ms. Diaz replied, "I think it would be a good thing, the sooner the better. Perhaps February 28th?" Respondents" counsel agreed, but counsel for Coldwell Banker asked to move it to April so that she could complete "a little discovery . . . ." The court set a 120- day deadline of April 2, and encouraged the parties to resolve the case. Coldwell Banker noticed the depositions of respondents for early March 2009. Appellants" counsel was present and asked questions at each deposition. Appellants were also served with respondents" written discovery responses and with their designation of expert witnesses. On April 17, respondents" counsel sent a letter to all counsel indicating a May 15, 2009 mediation date was set. The mediation was conducted on that date, but settlement was not reached with appellants. The matter was resolved as to all other defendants by written settlement agreement; notice of the settlement was filed on June 4, 2009. Appellants filed a petition to compel arbitration on June 9, just six weeks before the July 20 trial date. The petition to compel arbitration came on for hearing on July 6, 2009, before Judge John Kronstadt.1 The court was concerned about whether appellants had informed Judge Grimes of their intent to seek arbitration, or their position that arbitration was mandatory. Ms. Diaz admitted it was not stated "in those words" but asserted Judge 1 The settling parties filed for determination of good faith settlement, which came on for hearing at the same time as the motion to compel arbitration. 4 Grimes was aware of their position. The court continued the matter in order to obtain the transcripts of those hearings. At the continued hearing on July 10, 2009, the court explained that the transcript of the December hearing did not support appellants" claim. The court denied the petition to arbitrate, finding that appellants had waived their contractual right to arbitration by participating in the litigation, failing to inform the court at the case management conference of their intent to seek arbitration, agreeing to a trial date, participating in discovery, and waiting until the very eve of trial to seek arbitration. The court also found prejudice would occur because the matter had been prepared for trial. Ms. Diaz asked for an opportunity to submit the transcript from the October hearing before Judge Grimes, during which she believed "Judge Grimes was told that this is a real estate contract that involves an arbitration." The court agreed to consider the additional transcript. After reviewing the transcript of the October hearing, the court found nothing that warranted a change in its ruling. The court then set a March 2010 trial date. The court filed a "Memorandum and Order" setting out its ruling on September 17, 2009. Appellants filed a timely appeal from the order denying their petition to compel arbitration. DISCUSSION I The trial court denied appellants" petition based on its determination that appellants had waived their right to arbitration. Appellants claim the question of waiver should have been decided by an arbitrator, not the court because the dispute was governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). Under the California Arbitration Act (CAA) (Code Civ. Proc., § 1280 et seq.), it is the court that decides whether the right to compel arbitration has been waived by the 5 petitioner.2 But where the FAA applies, courts are divided on whether the question of waiver should be decided by the arbitrator or the court. (Knight et al., Cal. Practice Guide: Alternative Dispute Resolution (The Rutter Group 2008) ¶ 5:172, pp. 5-131 to 5- 132 (rev. #1, 2008).) We need not choose a side in this dispute, because the FAA does not apply to this contract. The FAA provides that a "written provision in . . . a contract evidencing a transaction involving commerce to settle by arbitration a controversy thereafter arising out of such contract or transaction, or the refusal to perform the whole or any part thereof, or an agreement in writing to submit to arbitration an existing controversy arising out of such a contract, transaction, or refusal, shall be valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract." (9 U.S.C. § 2.) The phrase "involving commerce" for purposes of the FAA may include an individual case which does not have a specific effect on interstate commerce "if, in the aggregate the economic activity in question would represent "a general practice . . . subject to federal control."" (Citizens Bank v. Alafabco, Inc. (2003) 539 U.S. 52, 56-57.) The sale of a single family residence in California, without more, does not meet that standard. Appellants rely, instead, on a portion of the arbitration provision stating: "Interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act." This sentence is part of the arbitration provision contained in the 2002 version of a standard form residential purchase agreement published by the California Association of Realtors. The arbitration clause also provides: "Buyer and Seller agree that any dispute or claim in Law or equity arising between them out of this Agreement or any resulting transaction, which is not settled through mediation, shall be decided by neutral, binding 2 "On petition of a party to an arbitration agreement alleging the existence of a written agreement to arbitrate a controversy and that a party thereto refuses to arbitrate such controversy, the court shall order the petitioner and the respondent to arbitrate the controversy if it determines that an agreement to arbitrate the controversy exists, unless it determines that: [¶] (a) The right to compel arbitration has been waived by the petitioner . . . ." (Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.2. subd. (a).) 6 arbitration, . . . The arbitrator . . . shall render an award in accordance with substantive California Law. The parties shall have the right to discovery in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure § 1283.05. In all other respects, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with Title 9 of Part III of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered into any court having jurisdiction." The agreement continues: ""NOTICE: BY INITIALING IN THE SPACE BELOW YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INCLUDED IN THE "ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES" PROVISION DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MIGHT POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. . . . IF YOU REFUSE TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION AFTER AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU MAY BE COMPELLED TO ARBITRATE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE."" This provision was initialed by appellants and respondents. The same standard form contract, including an identical arbitration provision, was considered by Division 1 of this district in Valencia v. Smyth (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 153. The court held the invocation of the FAA for purposes of interpretation of the agreement was not a designation of the procedural provisions of the FAA to control the arbitration. "[B]y adopting the FAA for purposes of contract interpretation, the parties did not displace the procedural provisions of the CAA. Both the FAA and the CAA employ the same principles of contract interpretation. Thus, regardless of which act governs the interpretation of the Agreement, the result is the same: Under the "plain meaning" rule, the Agreement"s choice-of-law provision requires the application of the CAA"s procedural provisions." (Id. at p. 157.) We reach the same conclusion. The agreement expressly selects the substantive and procedural law of California. It invokes the FAA only with respect to the 7 interpretation of the agreement. The question whether appellants waived their right to enforce the arbitration agreement did not require interpretation of the agreement; instead it required an evaluation of appellants" conduct. The parties did not agree to have that determination made under the FAA. As the United States Supreme Court explained in Volt Info. Sciences v. Leland Stanford Jr. U. (1989) 489 U.S. 468, 479, arbitration under the FAA "is a matter of consent, not coercion, and parties are generally free to structure their arbitration agreements as they see fit. Just as they may limit by contract the issues which they will arbitrate, [citation], so too may they specify by contract the rules under which that arbitration will be conducted." Under the choice of law provision in the arbitration agreement, California law was to be applied to all issues except the interpretation of the agreement. The FAA thus did not apply to resolution of the question of waiver. II We turn to the court"s finding of waiver.3 "Generally, the determination of waiver is a question of fact, and the trial court"s finding, if supported by substantial evidence, is binding on the appellate court." (St. Agnes, supra, 31 Cal.4th at p. 1196.) In Saint Agnes, the Supreme Court explained that "no single test delineates the nature of the conduct that will constitute a waiver of arbitration." (Id. at p. 1195.) The court adopted several factors to be considered in assessing waiver claims: """(1) whether the party"s actions are inconsistent with the right to arbitrate; (2) whether "the litigation machinery has been substantially invoked" and the parties "were well into preparation of a lawsuit" before the party notified the opposing party of an intent to arbitrate; (3) whether a party either requested arbitration enforcement close to the trial date or delayed for a long period before seeking a stay; (4) whether a defendant seeking arbitration filed a counterclaim without asking for a stay of the proceedings; (5) "whether important 3 In the arbitration context, the term "waiver" is a shorthand statement for the determination that a contractual right to arbitrate a dispute has been lost. (St. Agnes Medical Center v. PacifiCare of California (2003) 31 Cal.4th 1187, 1195, fn. 4 (St. Agnes).) 8 intervening steps [e.g., taking advantage of judicial discovery procedures not available in arbitration] had taken place"; and (6) whether the delay "affected, misled, or prejudiced" the opposing party.""" (Id. at p. 1196.) The trial court found several of these factors were present in this case, and the evidence supports this conclusion. Appellants" conduct was inconsistent with an intent to arbitrate. The parties engaged in an unsuccessful mediation session in April 2007. Appellants then rejected respondents" request to arbitrate as premature, asserting there had not been a formal mediation as required as a prerequisite under the agreement. Although respondents agreed to a second mediation, efforts to schedule it failed. Had appellants had an interest in arbitrating the action, they could have acceded to respondents" request, or pursued the second mediation; they did neither. Even after respondents filed this lawsuit, appellants" conduct was inconsistent with the right to arbitrate. Their counsel attended two case management conferences and agreed to a trial date without once mentioning to the court that they intended to arbitrate the dispute. Even when counsel indicated appellants" desire to mediate, she gave no suggestion that if the case did not settle, the next step would be arbitration rather than trial. Instead, she agreed to a trial date. The litigation machinery had been "substantially invoked" at the time appellants sought arbitration. The trial date was just six weeks away, discovery had been conducted, respondents had designated their expert witnesses. By that time, none of the benefits of arbitration, "as a speedy and relatively inexpensive means of dispute resolution" (Moncharsh v. Heily & Blase (1992) 3 Cal.4th 1, 9-10), would be realized. The court addressed this circumstance in Sobremonte v. Superior Court (1998) 61 Cal.App.4th 980, 997: "We acknowledge that arbitration is the preferred method of resolving disputes. However, the benefits it can provide, to both the parties and an already overburdened judicial system, become illusory when there is a failure to timely and affirmatively implement the procedure." 9 We find substantial evidence supports the trial court"s finding that appellants waived their right to arbitrate. DISPOSITION The order is affirmed. Respondents are to have their costs on appeal. NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS. EPSTEIN, P.J. We concur: WILLHITE, J. MANELLA, J. 10

The aggregate value of technology mergers and acquisitions (M&A) fell 52 per cent year-on-year (YOY) and 15 per cent compared with the previous quarter to USD28.2bn in the third quarter of 2012, according to Ernst & Young's Global technology M&A update.
Large M&A transactions gave way to smaller, more strategic deals, as companies proceeded cautiously in light of continued, widespread macroeconomic uncertainty.
In particular, the total volume of announced deals in 3Q12 was 752, up two per cent YOY and three per cent sequentially (on 2Q12). Strategic transactions continue to be driven by five long-term megatrends that are generating disruptive innovation in technology and leading to technology-enabled innovation in other industries. These megatrends are smart mobility, cloud computing, social networking, big data analytics and a growing sense of blur and convergence as technology sectors come together and the technology industry enters other industries as enabling innovation.
Notably, corporate and private equity deal volume moved in opposite directions: corporate was up four per cent both YOY and sequentially to 701 deals in 3Q12, while PE declined 22 per cent YOY and two per cent sequentially to 51 deals in 3Q12.
The study also found that the volume and value of cloud/software as a service deals remained significantly higher than any other deal driver in the third quarter. Mobile/e-payment technologies surged in value during 3Q12, and deal value surged again for health care information technology after falling in 2Q12. Social networking deals fell in value, but held steady in volume.
Joe Steger, global technology industry, transaction advisory services leader at Ernst & Young, says: "Once again, the macroeconomic environment is challenging technology M&A. But unlike after the global downturn that began in late 2007, when deal values and volume both fell hard and fast, volume continues to grow — at least a little."
"This is a real testament to the spreading strength of the 'social-mobile-cloud' and big data analytics megatrends. These are major forces and they are still driving technology company transactions. So, we'll continue to see many smaller strategic technology deals, and caution around executing large transformative deals until macroeconomic conditions and confidence improve. But the long-term outlook for global technology M&A remains strong."

I've been singing all my life, long story. But in 2006, my BRILLIANT husband said, "Ya know, you should buy a guitar and stick it in the dining room. You'll figure it out in no time." Being the good wife that I am, I bought a beautiful acoustic guitar, kept it out of the case and started on this journey.
I wrote my first song for my mother called, "Out of the Blue" and it is the title cut of my first album. I wrote the song about finding her lost biological family. Like everyone, life has brought me many great moments, as well as, challenges and I've found plenty of great experiences to sing about and wisdom to share. My second album "Hope" is a collection of acoustic songs that Ive written for friends and family.
I hope you'll find my music brings you peace or a BIG SMILE. I also hope if you listen while you're driving (I'm a car nut) you'll roll the windows down, crank the music, throw your hand out in the breeze and do a funky hand dance!

I just found a nasty bug in my code because I captured a const reference to a string by reference. By the time the lambda was run the original string object was already long gone and the referenced value was empty whereas the purpose was that it would contains the value of the original string, hence the bug.
What baffles me is that this did not invoke a crash at runtime: after all, shouldn't this be undefined behaviour since afaik there is a dangling reference? Moreover when looking at id under the debugger, it doesn't even look like garbage but just like a properly constructed empty string.
Here's the test case; this just prints an empty line:
typedef std::vector< std::function< void() > > functions;
void AddFunction( const std::string& id, functions& funs )
funs.push_back( [&id] ()
//the type of id is const std::string&, but there
//is no object to reference. UB?
std::cout << id << std::endl;
} );
int main()
functions funs;
AddFunction( "id", funs );
funs[ 0 ]();

Marc Bernardi's work is all about metamorphosis — turning something as simple as a reed in a pond into an unrecognizable, abstract picture. "I watch the image morph into something else," Bernardi says. "Sometimes I'm with a particular image for a couple days watching where it will go, and sometimes it'll go places on its own. I do have a curiosity to see what it will become. … I transform things that would normally be boring into art."

It'd been a long winter, rags of snow hanging on; then, at the end of April, an icy nor'easter, powerful as a hurricane. But now I've landed on the coast of Maine, visiting a friend who lives two blocks from the ocean, and I can't believe my luck, out this mild morning, race-walking along the strand.

More than three decades ago, when Amy Ray began penning emotionally charged songs about social justice as one-half of the folk rock duo the Indigo Girls, fighting for same sex marriage wasn't high on her list of priorities — despite being a lesbian.
If there's one thing composer Steven Hackman wants you to know about his growing collection of "mash-up" compositions — where he joins celebrated master works from classical artists like Brahms seamlessly with works from contemporary pop culture gods like Radiohead — it's that this is no gimmick. Rather, it's work that flows from a fundamental part of who he is.
Blitzen Trapper's brand of alternative country music is an ideal soundtrack for warm summer nights. The band specializes in a sound that straddles the line between somber and mellow.

On Jan. 21, 1958, Charles Starkweather entered the Nebraska home of girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate and shot and killed her father, mother and 2-yearold sister. The two went on the lam and Starkweather slayed seven more over the course of eight days before surrendering to authorities.
One of the more fascinating aspects of the movies is their ability to reach across time and space and continue cinematic conversations started long ago. Moviegoers will be able to peek in on that conversation next week at The Boedecker Theater where both 1971's The French Connection.
If 40 years of Saturday Night Live has taught us anything it is this: comedy is the sharpest form of criticism. Biting wit levied by the absurd becomes the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down, and SNL has been spoon feeding America since 1975.
Yet, two more are needed, two rising talents that the Svengali-like Lermontov can mold into a star and a revolutionary composer. That's where Vicky Page and Julian Craster (Marius Goring) come in. Page and Craster are better than average, and rise quickly, taking the Ballet Lermontov to unbelievable heights.
At the turn of the 20th century, vast majorities of the planet remained undiscovered for those restless ones who couldn't possibly imagine a life spent behind a desk or in a factory. If they had the notion, and sufficient funding, there were mountains, deserts, jungles, two Poles and the seas in between calling their name.
He is a fast learner, which makes him a perfect fit for this kind of work, but a chance encounter with his ex-wife, Adriana (Sandra Ceccarelli) alludes to more than Antonio would like to admit. Some people find their identity in work, others find a way to escape it.
Sports have an uplifting nature that can unify communities after times of great loss; case in point Rising from the Ashes. The documentary tells the inspirational story of the first Rwandan National Cycling Team and their journey to the London Olympic Games.
The 1998 Academy Awards Ceremony felt a little bit like a private party James Cameron threw for his monumental Titanic, which sailed away with 11 statues that evening, but that was also the night 57 million Americans met one singer/ songwriter who left almost as quickly as he came. Per usual, segments from each of the five nominated songs were performed, and while Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" took home the prize, it was the man in the white suit with the unwashed hair singing a quiet little love-song (or was it a breakup song?) from Good Will Hunting that got the audience talking.
When Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) was 11, she was diagnosed manic-depressive, put on medication and grew up like most teenagers do. Yet, the events that shaped Alice's upbringing, although not abnormal, stuck deeper in her mind than most.

Rashaan Salaam and Kordell Stewart!" Sarah Adina Smith cheers with delight, recalling her high school years as a University of Colorado Boulder Buffs fan. "I was born and raised in Fort Collins, but my Mom went to CU," Smith tells Boulder Weekly. "We were, like, totally going against our town, but we were really into it."
My second set of questions: So logic doesn't exist in this world? I understand this is a kid's movie but "you are a creature ruled solely by your basic emotions" is a horrifying message. Why go to school if you never apply knowledge and you just emotionally react to stuff?.
Take your love for animals a step further and attend the Bow Wow Film Festival — a traveling film festival that strives to spread the love for dogs everywhere by shining a spotlight on man's best friend. This event features a compilation of the years' best doggie-themed footage from funny to heartwarming to educational.
Hand a kid two dinosaur toys. Said kid will not use them to contemplate evolutionary biology. Said kid will smash the two of them together, simulating an epic dino-smackdown while emitting a likely annoying reptilian howl. Jurassic World is that but with a $150 million budget. Director Colin Trevorrow went from quirky indie Safety Not Guaranteed to blockbuster franchise revival faster than you can ask, "How many zeroes are on that check again?" Those hoping Trevorrow managed to retain the light, whimsical, creative tone of his former effort should remember this is a movie about dinosaurs eating people. When it comes to people eating, Jurassic World does it better than most.
Melissa McCarthy is immensely talented, armed with a stunning repertoire of acting skills. So, of course, Hollywood sees her and claps its collective hands together, yelling "Make the funny lady fall down again!" Spy is writer/director (and frequent McCarthy collaborator) Paul Feig's attempt to save his friend from a Jack Blackian fate. In a clever conceit, he allows McCarthy to trot out her staid, clichéd usual characters, only to abandon them in favor of something authentic. Had it not been for one painfully tone deaf, unfunny, offensive running gag, Spy would have been damn good and not simply good.
There is one thing you never do on Sesame Street and that is put someone down. "Our business is not to ridicule," Caroll Spinney — the long time puppeteer inside Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch — tells Boulder Weekly. "Dumb is a word we never use on Sesame Street," Spinney says. "Or stupid," adds Big Bird.
As people die in ugly, awful ways all around him, Ray ignores them in order to save his estranged wife and loving daughter. If you're not related to Ray, sorry about your death by fire or pulverization, but you can't ride in the city's helicopter or the plane he steals, truck he steals or boat he steals.
The movies started small. So small that only one person at a time could watch them. The year was 1892, and Thomas Edison and his colleague William Kennedy Laurie Dickson discovered that if you spun sequential photographs in a small box, you could create the illusion of movement. Edison called them Kinetoscopes, and these viewing booths were the iPhones of their day, a private experience where patrons paid to watch short movies of a giddy girl kissing a mustachioed man, of a dancer swirling her dress and of a weightlifter flexing his muscles.

Margaret Cho is pissed off. She might even be a little crazy. Her list of grievances include LBGT rights, violence against women, the hypocrisy of the Duggar family and the continued examination of Bill Cosby. "People are still questioning whether or not he's guilty. He's so guilty," Cho says. "After 40 women come forward and call you a rapist and have the exact same story, it's very clear."
Reach new heights at this annual community gathering taking place right down the road in Frederick. The fifth annual Frederick in Flight will feature close to 30 balloons launching throughout the weekend, with other community events like balloon rides for kids and a basket candle lighting in the evening.
Based on my recent visit to Jesters Dinner Theatre in Longmont, one thing is abundantly clear: Jesters has recommitted itself to being the best darn dinner theatre it can be. When I last ventured in to this quaint, little theatre on Main Street some years ago, I came away with a very low opinion of the food and only a slightly better one of the performance. My experience this time around was decidedly more positive in every way. Because I still suffer the lingering psychological effects of my last meal at Jesters, I didn't partake of the pre-show dinner.
The University of Colorado Boulder's sixth season of the CU New Opera Workshop (CU NOW) will culminate in two public performances this weekend of A Song for Susan Smith, an opera written by Pulitzer Prizewinning librettist and CU alum Mark Campbell and composed by Zach Redler.

Benedicte Gravrand, Opalesque Geneva:
Philippe Gougenheim, who left is position as Managing Director and Head of Hedge Funds at Unigestion, Geneva, in December, had to postpone the launch of his highly liquid global macro hedge fund, which will be called the Glasnost Fund. Named after the former USSR's 1980s policy of openness and transparency, it was meant to be launched in June, and is now planned for September.
Gougenheim Investments has already selected all its service providers. But a ski accident is preventing Philippe Gougenheim from travelling for a while and continuing its preparation. One of his Achilles' tendon was ruptured.
"I take this accident as a good illustration that one should beware of trends and be prepared for unpredictable events," he says in a LinkedIn communication. "I started skiing when I was 4, I will turn 48 yet later on this month and never had any problem while skiing. Even if I have won a few competitions, I am a careful skier, but I was bumped into, which is close to impossible to prevent. The good news is that I was somehow prepared for this, as I was wearing a helmet and a back protector, and I strongly advise all of you to do the same, as the consequences of my accident would probably have been w......................

Intermediate Term Trend: NegativeFriday's Close: $75.13 (- $.59 cents)UPDATE: It has been an extremely long time since the chart has depicted such a large spread between the weekly Moving Average Line and current price action.Certainly, this market can trade lower, but for the last two weeks we cautioned; traders need to be careful on selling into a current vacuum. Last week's price action was more than two dollars higher than the week before. Hardly a rally, but it's possibly the start of some stabilization in the price.
