Hi Nathan,
I completely agree with you. Netizens expect brands to be responsive, and the lack of timely response is often perceived by netizens as a sign that the brands do not take engagement seriously. And yes, you are absolutely correct: "Responsiveness is a pillar of social media and should be as important as any other metric."
Thanks for the insightful article!

Israel Issues Demolition Orders for 8 Palestinian Villages
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday ordered the demolition of 8 Palestinian villages in the hills south of Hebron because the Israeli military needs the land for training exercises, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
A total of 1,500 residents will be evicted from their homes and have their lands confiscated in the villages of Majaz, Tabban, Sfai, Fakheit, Halaweh, Mirkez, Jinba, and Kharuba. The villages of Tuba, Mufaqara, Sarura, and Megheir al-Abeid, which are also nearby, appear to have been spared.

Green Failures
Here are a few of the latest companies to join the growing list of "green" "sustainable energy" failures that have been supported by the current Administration's deficit "stimulus" spending. All this financing has been done using your tax dollars…well, actually tax dollars to be paid in the future by your grandchildren and great grandchildren to China. Plus interest:
Evergreen Energy-Which has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, saying it's "impossible to maintain operations" due to funding shortfalls. This announcement comes after the company received $5.3 million in "stimulus" funds.
Amonix Inc.-A manufacturer of solar panels that received $5.9 million from the "stimulus", will lay off about 200 employees only seven months after opening a factory in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's home State of Nevada.
Beacon Power Corp-Sought bankruptcy protection last year after they received a $43 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy.
Ener1 Electric-A car battery manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy last Thursday, three years after receiving a $118.5 million grant from the U.S. government.
These are all in addition to Solyndra-A solar panel maker that received a $535 million loan guarantee, then famously filed for Chapter 11 protection weeks ago.
This should be quite the political embarrassment for the current White House occupant, who has championed these loans as a way to create "green energy" jobs. When you total up the costs to taxpayers for just these five companies, it comes to $707.7 million. Although it's a recognizable reality that we now live in an insane world where politicians throw the phrase "trillions of dollars" around like nobody's business, even a cocaine addict would take a very long time to blow $1 million, much less $707.7 million. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
These are some of the myriad of problems found with centrally planned big government intruding into the free market. Not only is the spending inherently wasteful, the fact that these companies were in large part operated by big donors to Democratic political campaign points to the corruption involved when ideologically captive, politically driven politicians make investment decisions based on cronyism. Can you say quid quo pro?
All government energy subsidies should end, leaving energy companies free to compete without government interference. If and when "green" "sustainable energy" becomes the best competitive solution, consumers will reward "green" companies that used private capital to successfully situate themselves in the market by purchasing their products. That's how it works. That's what makes America the greatest economic success in human history.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
We're pretty much at the bottom. If it drops to $7.30, it#$%$ sub $7. Hopefully a nice earnings pop and selling HERE will definitely bring it up even if it's a little. Then, I think it's time to exit.

Oil stocks right now are like Dow and Nasdaq in 2009. Everybody was saying markets would not go up because economy was not improving. Guess what the economy is still on life support but Dow/Nasdaq have doubled since.
Oil stocks will stage a huge rally in May/June when summer demand hits the newswire
Let's consider the non-recurring expenses in the quarter:
- $10MM Lacey Act reserve. To put it in perspective, Gibson paid $300K!
- $2.3MM in testing program accruals. It's possible this may not be sufficient, but you gotta believe that the requests for test kits will wane
- $3.3MM in higher legal / professional fees. Crisis consultants and attorneys are very expensive and I would view much of these costs as being extraordinary.
All in all, $15.6MM in non-recurring items. Yes, they still have lawsuits, but, last time I checked, companies carry 10s of millions in liability insurance. Of course, no analyst (so many of these guys know very little about business) every asks about that.
Perhaps, the failure of Terrell to demonstrate this fact to the analysts and several big misses on earnings estimates reflects some weaknesses in the CFO / Investor Relations function. I understand it's a little concerning whenever a CFO is replaced, but isn't some sort of a management shakeup in order? Shouldn't a company that had some obvious sourcing and regulatory problems take some action?
By any measure, the company showed a significant return to business as usual after the initial 60 Minutes story. I calculated that they showed about a 30% increase in the rest of March (I am including March 1) sales in relation to the 9 days after the story.
I am a distressed investor. I have owned distressed real estate, and companies. This is a classic distressed investing play. They take time sometimes. Moreover, this is a company that will begin growing again.

Audrey Mossom: Railway Queen of Great Britain who was entertained by Stalin on a peace trip to the Soviet Union
Thursday 01 October 2009
Audrey Mossom, who has died aged 88, won considerable fame when, in 1935, as a vivacious 15-year-old schoolgirl, she was crowned Railway Queen of Great Britain. Subsequently one of the earliest celebrities to switch-on Blackpool's famous illuminations, not once, but twice, she also undertook a highly controversial peace trip to Russia, where, among others, she met Joseph Stalin.
The youngest of three sisters, Audrey Mossom spent her formative years on the Fylde Coast amid the bright lights of Blackpool. There, her mother kept a small guest house, while her father, very much in the family tradition, worked as a guard on the London North Western Railway Company. Having made her stage debut as a dancer in the famous Blackpool Tower Ballet, she soon progressed to regular touring engagements with Madame Winstanley's Manchester School of Dance.
In August 1935, in front of the 70,000 visitors attending the hugely-popular Railway Carnival and Pageant held at Belle Vue, Manchester, she was ceremonially crowned the 10th Railway Queen of Great Britain. At the heart of this huge annual extravaganza, a unique blend of social, sporting and cultural activity, lay that most Utopian of ideals, comradeship among railwaymen of all countries. This was reflected in her International Chain of Office to which, that year, had been added a symbolic Link of Peace from Palestine.
Intensely proud of her success, Blackpool instantly bestowed upon Audrey their highest accolade, an invitation to become only the second celebrity to switch on the town's world famous illuminations. Thus, on Saturday 14 September, 1935, resplendent in full ceremonial regalia, she braved the autumn showers to address the large crowd assembled outside the Town Hall: "I hope the Blackpool Illuminations will illuminate the path of peace which the League of Nations is so nobly following on behalf of all young people throughout the world," she said. "May they symbolise industrial and international peace."
Then, on the stroke of seven o'clock, in a moment later famously immortalised on canvas, she pressed down on the big chrome button and, to loud cheers, the illuminations excitedly burst into life. It would be an exercise she would poignantly repeat 50 years later, when, in 1985, she was specially invited back to assist the actress Joanna Lumley with that year's switch-on.
Proving somewhat more controversial at the time was a special invitation in the summer of 1936 for her to undertake a visit to the Soviet Union. The question was, should she attend as a British schoolgirl who was an ambassador for peace or as the Railway Queen of Great Britain, forging a link of peace with the workers of the Soviet Union? In the event, following high-level discussions at the heart of government, it was decided that she go as the Railway Queen. Arriving in Minsk, she travelled to Moscow in a special train sent by Stalin. There, feted by Russian railway workers, she had discussions with all the leading politicians of the day, including Stalin himself. It was Lenin's widow, Nadezhda Krupskaia, who presented her with a magical Mat-ryoshka doll.
Back in England, having helped crown her successor, she went back to school to complete her education. Before too long, however, she was able to return to her first love, the stage, and a successful career as a professional dancer.

Rough looking place at night, crew trucks, men sitting outside. Mysterious office staff But it turned out to be quiet, clean, cool, & cheap. I'll stay there again if that's all I need.

Not many hotels to choose from herePosted Jul 25, 2015
Pros: Dairy Queen out front.
Cons: Too much to list
Location: Not far from Fredericksburg.
Gentleman at front check-in was very indifferent. He did not seem to care whether we were staying or not. Check-in was easy and quick. Room was not extremely dirty but bathroom shower curtain had mildew stains at the bottom. The hotel is in very bad need of updating and deep cleaning. Also the smell of something cooking when we first checked-in was horrible. Not sure what it was but it smelled disgusting. We will not stay here again.

Pros: It was available at a short notice. The staff was nice.
Cons: Cleanliness
Location: 30 min away from the location we were visiting. Nothing to do nearby the hotel.
We chose the Executive Inn in Comfort, TX because the price was very reasonable, but the room had spiderwebs on the walls, the shower was duct taped for some odd reason, there were no baseboards on the walls, only had one toilet paper roll that was almost empty. The TV was fuzzy.

Interpol issues global security alert after prison breaks
Paris: Interpol issued a global security alert on Saturday advising its members to increase their vigilance against attacks after a series of prison breaks in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan that the agency is investigating to determine if they were linked.
The Lyon, France-based Interpol said given that al Qaeda was suspected to be involved in some of the incidents, it was asking its 190 member countries to watch out for information connected to the prison breaks, with an aim to determine whether they were coordinated and also locate the escaped prisoners.
On Friday, the United States issued a worldwide travel alert warning Americans that al Qaeda may be planning attacks in August, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.
The State Department travel alert was based on the same intelligence that prompted it to close 21 US embassies and consulates on Sunday, August 04, chiefly those in the Muslim world, a US official told a news agency on condition of anonymity.
Britain said it would close its embassy in Yemen on Sunday and Monday. "We are particularly concerned about the security situation in the final days of Ramadan and into Eid," the Foreign Office said in a statement, referring to the Muslim holy month which ends on Wednesday.
France also plans to close its embassy in Yemen on Sunday, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said.
Prison breaks took place in Pakistan on July 31 in a Taliban-led operation, and in Iraq at the Abu Ghraib prison overnight on July 22. Some 500 convicts, among them senior al Qaeda operatives, escaped from Abu Ghraib.
More than 1,100 inmates broke out of a prison on the outskirts of Benghazi on July 27.
Interpol also noted that August was the anniversary of several violent attacks over the past years, including in Mumbai and Nairobi.
"Staff at INTERPOL`s 24-hour Command and Coordination Center and other specialized units are ... prioritizing all information and intelligence in relation to the breakouts or terrorist plots in order to immediately inform relevant member countries of any updates," the agency in a statement.

Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio is the gorgeous face of Victoria's Secret fashion. Alessandra Ambrosio on the catwalk is a thing of beauty iwht pictures and video. Alessandra just gave birth to her daughter Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, proud dad is Jaime Mazur.
Celebrities have always loved getting charitable, and last night (May 23) amfAR held its 20th Annual Cinema Against AIDS Gala in Cannes, France.
Tinseltown hotties like Jessica Chastain, Milla Jovovich, and Rosario Dawson got all gussied up for the affair, held at Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc.
Showing off her gorgeous gams on the French Riviera, Alessandra Ambrosio was in town for the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday (May 22).
The Victoria's Secret Angel wore a long-sleeved white top, long cream scarf, and tiny white denim cutoffs as she strolled amongst the crowds.
The action at the 66th Cannes Film Festival has been non-stop, and earlier tonight (May 22) the "All Is Lost" premiere was punctuated with pretty ladies.
"The Help" starlet Jessica Chastain showed up on the red carpet outside the Palais des Festivals in an ornate purple dress, adding a sharp contrast to her crimson locks.
She's always up for a good time, and last night (May 20) Alessandra Ambrosio showed up at the Bacardi Rebels shindig at the Roseland Ballroom hosted by the Rolling Stones.
The supermodel mommy scored mixed reviews for her unusual getup as she hammed it up for the paparazzi before heading inside.
Taking care of some items on her to-do list, Alessandra Ambrosio and her daughter Anja ran errands in Los Angeles on Wednesday (May 15).
Dressed for the sunshine in white cutoffs and a red-and-white shirt, the Victoria's Secret Angel and her adorable mini-me made stops at the mall before heading to the coffee shop for a cool drink.
Heading out for a sweet treat, Alessandra Ambrosio and Anja grabbed frozen yogurt from Menchie's in Santa Monica on Monday (May 13).
Sporting a black tank top and short multicolored patterned shorts, the Victoria's Secret Angel held onto her 4-year-old daughter's hand.
Tending to her parental responsibilities, Alessandra Ambrosio took her son Noah to a doctor's appointment in SoCal yesterday afternoon (May 8).
The Victoria's Secret stunner looked springtime sexy in a lime green sweater over a coral top with distressed jeans and strappy sandals as she carried her little guy to the medical center.
Taking care of her motherly duties, Alessandra Ambrosio took her daughter Anja to the doctor in Santa Monica on Monday afternoon (May 6).
The beautiful Brazilian supermodel mommy donned a tan jacket with a grey top, red jeans, and tan ankle boots as she escorted her little one out to the car and drove off.
Still looking a bit groggy, Alessandra Ambrosio stepped out of her house in her jammies in Brentwood on Monday morning (May 6).
The Victoria's Secret Angel was make-up free in her white and pink patterned nightie as she emerged barefoot from her home.
Wearing the latest fashions, Alessandra Ambrosio took part in a Victoria's Secret photo shoot on Tuesday (April 30) in New York City.
Playfully posing in jeans and a long sleeved white shirt with a purple heart, the Brazilian beauty went through several more wardrobe changes throughout the day, including a blue and white button down shirt dress.

I've detected the meaning of life - buried treasure
But not me. I embrace the job and have a zillion more important reasons, including "making a difference." I do enjoy the summers off yet still feel the need to be productive.
With the summer approaching, I am thinking of solid ways of being productive when I am off. I can think of nothing more productive than purchasing a metal detector and striking it rich from the buried treasures found on beaches.
By my calculations, if I buy a Kellyco Hybrid Cobra beach metal detector for $449.95, then I will easily make back my initial investment in 2 years, 9 months.If I had a glorious Kellyco beach metal detector, I would find approximately $0.45 per day, as long as I put eight hours into metal detecting each time. Assuming I did that every day (including the school year) for 2 years, 9 months, I would recoup my $449.95. Then, in the next July and August, I would metal detect every day and earn $27.45. That's what I call easy money!
Whenever I run across something too good to be true, I must take a step back and wonder if what I have discovered is truly that special. After doing the math, thinking through things slowly and clearly, I must say that metal detecting on beaches is the way to go.
If you ever happen to see a metal detecting beach guy, it is obvious. Look at the chap's countenance. Yeah, it's true. He's got the world figured out.
Give me just three years. Expect my skin to turn leathery from being on beaches for eight hours per day. But bank account, get ready. Here comes $27.45!

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
15 Jun 2005 16:53 GMT
In a report on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch warned that Beijing's heavy-handed methods of controlling information about the disease could hinder efforts to stop its spread.
It called on China to remove restrictions on private groups that work with Aids patients and at-risk groups.
"Grass-roots organisations have direct experience that could greatly strengthen the country's fight against Aids," said Sara Davis, the group's China researcher.
"But in a number of regions, they face harassment, censorship and even beatings because the Chinese government is suspicious of any activity outside its direct control."
Separately, the United Nations' top HIV/Aids official, Peter Piot, also called on Beijing to work more with patients at the grass-roots level.
"If China is going to be successful in the fight against Aids, it needs not only the strong leadership ... but also involving people living with HIV in these activities at a community level, and there we still have a way to go," he said.
Fighting Aids
Piot met China's Premier Wen Jiabao this week and toured treatment centres in the country's south.
Premier Wen accompanied Piot on tours in the country's south
Human Rights Watch said that despite the government's vows to fight Aids, many local officials fear public discussion of the disease will embarrass them or discourage investment.
In Henan province, where thousands of people were infected with HIV in the 1990s by an unsanitary blood-buying scheme, activists have complained of inadequate services for patients and of corruption in administering programmes, it said.
"Instead of addressing these criticisms, Henan officials have detained those activists who complained too loudly or who took matters into their own hands," the group said.
"Dozens of activists have been jailed, and some have even been beaten by thugs hired by local officials."The group said China's internet restrictions are interfering with the flow of Aids information to high-risk groups such as homosexual men.
UN warning
"China's laws on pornography say that any website with homosexual content is automatically considered to be obscene," Davis said."That's not only discriminatory; in the context of the Aids epidemic, it is self-destructive."
"Time is running out. Now is the time for initiating large-scale programmes. The time of pilots is over"Paul Piot,UN HIV/Aids officialChina says 840,000 people in the country are HIV-positive and 80,000 have developed Aids. The UN has warned that 10 million people could be infected in China by 2010 without better prevention.
"Time is running out. Now is the time for initiating large-scale programmes. The time of pilots is over"Paul Piot,UN HIV/Aids official
Right now, Aids in China is limited mostly to certain groups - sex workers, intravenous drug users, and victims of the blood-buying scheme - and the UN has warned repeatedly that it risks being spread quickly to the general population.
"Time is running out," Piot said. "Now is the time for initiating large-scale programmes. The time of pilots is over."
Wen told UN officials that China is up to the task of controlling the disease, citing plans to expand free medical service to Aids patients and increase public education about how the disease is spread, state media reported.

- PM is worth millions and can command £250,000 for private speeches
Tony Blair was last night improbably named philanthropist of the year by a leading magazine.
The former prime minister was handed the award to a 'muted' response at a celebrity-packed gathering in central London. It was in recognition of his 'philanthropy, establishing three charities'.
GQ magazine's decision drew immediate criticism, with Labour MP John Mann saying last night: 'It sends the wrong message. This sort of award should go to an unsung hero who has given up their time for charity.'

Disbelief: Tony Blair accepted GQ's philanthropist of the year award at a glitzy ceremony in central London
Conservative MP Rob Wilson added: 'I can think of many awards Tony Blair might win but this wasn't one of them.'
Tory MP Ian Liddell-Grainger said the award was a 'a slap in the face for all the damage he had done to the UK'.
He said: 'This is the man that could split the union, having given Scotland a parliament.
'And is advising dodgy countries around the world... GQ or generally queasy?'
Tory MP Charlie Elphicke pointed out that Mr Blair has advised Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev, including on how to improve his image after his police killed 14 unarmed protesters.
He said: 'It is jaw dropping that he should be given this award given his involvement in spinning the alleged brutal massacre in Kazakhstan.
'People will be greatly concerned and wonder if this was the right decision.' Gary Lineker tweeted: 'Apparently, Tony Blair has won GQ's philanthropist of the year award. Finally these awards have grasped irony!'
The GQ Men of the Year awards are popular among celebrities with many A-listers attending last night, including Kate Middleton's sister Pippa and the model Cara Delevingne.
Legacy: The decision to honour the former Prime Minister provoked immediate reaction on Twitter
On receiving his award at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, Mr Blair, 61, said: 'I would like to dedicate this award to the people that work with and for my organisations.'
He and his wife Cherie have a property empire worth an estimated £30million, having bought homes for their children.
Earlier this year, Mr Blair, who earns millions of pounds a year from his consultancy roles and charges fees of £250,000 for public speaking, was forced to deny being motivated by money.
He insisted: 'In respect to my new life, first of all, I have to say that reports of my wealth are greatly exaggerated. Just for the record, I read I'm supposed to be worth £100million – Cherie's kind of asking where it is. I'm not worth that, half of that, a third of that, a quarter of that, a fifth of that ... I could go on.'
Sherlock Holmes actor Benedict Cumberbatch, Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi and Love Actually star Colin Firth all won gongs.
Former Beatle Ringo Starr picked up an award for his humanitarian work and Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Johnny Depp presented punk pioneer Iggy Pop with the 'icon' trophy.
The tribute to Mr Blair on the GQ website read: 'In 2007 Tony Blair stepped down as prime minister, but his surging momentum's shown no signs of slowing.
'Alongside his role as a Middle East peace envoy, Blair's channelled his energy into philanthropy, establishing three charities.
'The Tony Blair Sports Foundation pairs volunteer sport coaches with children in Britain's North East and his Faith Foundation aims to reconcile the three Abrahamic faiths, but his most ambitious is the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.
Bemusement: TV presenter Gary Lineker reacted to the news with a joke in one of many reactions on Twitter
One Twitter user compared the decision to honouring the fictional psychopath of Silence of the Lambs
Anger: Some insults were directed towards the lifestyle magazine itself, as well as its readers
Analogy: Another critic of the former PM invoked the serial killer Myra Hindley in his comparison
GQ's awards are among the most high-profile of the year. Mr Blair is pictured with presenter Banke Adetayo
'Launched in 2008, the foundation operates in six African countries – Sierra Leone, Rwanda Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Senegal – where teams work alongside government bodies to bridge the gap between African leaders' visions for a better future and their government's ability to implement it.'
But BBC journalist Sarfraz Manzoor tweeted: 'It has been another hard day and just when I needed a laugh Tony Blair wins philanthropist of the year at the GQ awards.'
Bafflement: The actor Peter Serafinowicz said he had to restore his eyes after they popped out of their sockets

LONDON, October 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
In the news release, "Alitalia Increase Online Bookings Thanks to Webtrends" issued on 16 Oct 2012 12:03 GMT, by Webtrends over PR Newswire, we are advised by a representative of the company that a grammatical error in the sub-headline should be amended to "by" from "of" as originally issued inadvertently. Complete, corrected release follows:
Webtrends Optimize allows the first Italian airline company to raise online bookings by 7.09% in just three months
Webtrends, the global leader in digital intelligence, has today announced it has helped Italian airline Alitalia increase online bookings by more than 7% in just three months thanks to its Webtrends Optimize solution and team of specialist consultants.
In today's competitive online airline industry, offering customers' the best possible user experience with a simple online purchasing process is key to increasing market share and revenue. This was Alitalia's strategic goal.
The Italian airline company sells its services online in 31 countries all over the world, in 14 different languages. Every month, Alitalia's website receives over 5 million visits, 12% of which come from mobile devices (80% from tablets). Alitalia register over 900,000 transactions monthly, including check-ins and tickets sold. In Italy, one customer out of three purchases online: for some specific routes - for example, departures from Bergamo and Verona - over 60% of customers exclusively buy online.
Alitalia's objective was to guarantee that all services offered were fully available for the digital world in the simplest and most intuitive way possible, in order to improve customer experience, increase visits and raise conversion rates.
For this reason, in late 2011, Alitalia selected Webtrends Optimize - a testing and targeting solution enabling both a deeper visitor engagement and improved conversion and revenue. Optimize combines a complete selection of test types, (both A/B and multivariate tests) allowing companies to identify and target their most valuable customer segments, and then target these specific segments with customised campaigns, offering real-time relevant content.
Alitalia immediately set up e-commerce and IT dedicated teams, which worked closely with the Optimize Webtrends team to define processes and objectives. They carried out different tests on a certain number of pages, for instance that of the special offers page, the most important one to Alitalia, as it is the one that receives all the traffic coming from paid search.
"Once the optimal page had been identified, we could see an increase of click-through conversions of about 6%, a great result if we consider that our website gets an average of 200,000 visitors per day. A further measurement demonstrated that the optimised page led to an increase of 500 online bookings over three weeks, which means about 220,000 euro per month, at an average Alitalia price," states Nicola Arnese, VP eCommerce, Alitalia.
More tests have been made on the home page, testing three different versions until the one which registered the highest number of conversions was identified.
"Webtrends Optimize team's outstanding experience and consultancy approach allowed us to increase the number of online bookings of 7.09% in three months," Arnese concludes. "This increase had a significant impact on our results, allowing us to stay ahead of our competitors, offering our customers the best service possible."
"We are proud to work with a company like Alitalia," states Tracie Caroopen, Director Southern EMEA, Webtrends. "Major brands across Europe increasingly understand the importance of a strong online presence and an efficient e-commerce operation to maximise revenue. However, to achieve this, brands need to understand what makes their customers buy. This is where multivariate testing, targeting and optimisation is proving invaluable. Webtrends Optimize allows brands to run tests in a live environment before the changes are applied so brands can achieve the most optimised version of their site without gambling on what will work."
Webtrends has been working with Alitalia since 2009, when the airline company adopted Analytics, Webtrends' platform which provides performance measurement on all digital channels. It offers insight on visitors and customers' behaviour, habits and tastes, a key element in a strong competitive area such as airlines, where potential customers are virtually flooded by a huge number of offerings.
Over these years, Alitalia were able to increase understanding of their customers through accurate profiling and could gain visibility on how many people completed the purchase process and how many abandoned to help them determine which pages to optimise, which consequently has lead to increased bookings and revenue.

Source: PWInsider- After last week's round of WWE developmental releases, it's expected that more releases will be announced before the new WWE Performance Center opens on July 1st. There also may be some other developmental employees shifted around - some sent to WWE headquarters and some just released.
Word also is that WWE will be getting rid of a lot of talents who have been in their developmental system for a while without really doing anything in NXT or getting called to the main roster. Derrick Bateman's release was a perfect example of that.
Out of the recent releases, the Audrey Marie and Briley Pierce cuts were the biggest shockers within WWE.

Daily Dose Of Jazz…
Carl Charles Fontana was born on July 18, 1928 in Monroe, Louisiana and learned jazz from his father Collie, a saxophonist and violinist. He first performed with his father's band while in high school and would go on to attend the University of Louisiana Monroe for two years prior to transferring to Louisiana State University and getting a degree in Music Education.
Fontana got his first professional break on the jazz scene in 1951 when he was hired to stand in for Urbie Green in the Woody Herman band. Impressing the bandleader with his improvisational skills he kept him on as a permanent member of the band even after Green returned..
Three years later he left Herman and joined Lionel Hampton's big band. In early 1955 he played briefly with Hal McIntyre before joining Stan Kenton's big band later in the year. He recorded three albums with Kenton and also worked with fellow trombonist Kai Winding during this period. Being an inventive yet fluid player made it easy for him to record and tour, but Carl was also a master of the "Doodle Tonguing" technique, that allowed him to smoothly execute runs of notes at speeds many had not previously considered possible to achieve on a slide trombone.
By 1958, Fontana was living in Las Vegas, Nevada and would tour only on rare occasions. He primarily performed with house orchestras in Las Vegas during the 1960s, particularly Paul Anka's band with Rosolino, and in the bands backing Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Wayne Newton and the Benny Goodman Orchestra. This continued into the Seventies in addition to recording with Louie Bellson, Bill Watrous, and Supersax as well as co-leading a date with Jack Hanna, titled The Hanna-Fontana Band: Live at Concord.
The 1980s saw him appearing regularly on National Public Radio's Monday Night Jazz program. And although he recorded on more than 70 albums over his long career, his first true record as a headliner did not appear until 1985 when Uptown Jazz released The Great Fontana. He continued performing and recording sporadically throughout the 1990s.
Trombonist Carl Fontana, who never earned great fame but was on every great trombonist's list of greats, passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada aged 75 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease on October 9, 2003.

Wycliffe Gordon was born May 29, 1967 in Waynesboro, Georgia and was heavily influenced musically by the church music his organist father played at several churches in Burke County as well as being a classical pianist and teacher.
It wasn't until 1980 that Gordon became particularly inspired in jazz at age thirteen, listening to jazz recordings inherited from his great aunt. The collection included a five-LP jazz anthology produced by Sony-Columbia and was drawn in particular to Louis Armstrong and the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens.
Wycliffe attended, at that age, Sego High School in Augusta, Georgia and played in the band under direction from Don Milford. He graduated from Butler High in 1985, performed in New York City as part of the McDonald High School All-American Band, went on to study music at Florida A&M where he played in the marching band.
His early works as a professional were with Wynton Marsalis but in recent years he expanded beyond swing and experimented with new instruments, notably the indigenous Australian wind instrument, didgeridoo. In 1995, Gordon arranged and orchestrated the third version of the theme song for NPR's All Things Considered, the widely recognized melody composed in 1971 by Donald Joseph Voegeli.
In 2006 he founded Blues Back Records, his was an independent jazz label and released his Rhythm On My Mind album, a collaboration with bassist Jay Leonhart. His desire for full artistic control was the impetus for creating Blues Back. Blues Back had produced other artists in Wycliffe's universe who met Gordon's criteria for originality, however, since 2011 has been inactive.
Jazz trombonist, arranger, composer, bandleader and music educator at the collegiate-conservatory level, Wycliffe Gordon also plays didgeridoo, trumpet, tuba, piano, and sings. To date he has a catalogue of 19 albums as a leader and another eight as a sideman performing with John Allred, Marcus Roberts, Randy Sandke, Maurice Hines, Ron Westray, and Chip White. He continues to perform, tour, record and educate.

Isla Eckinger was born on May 6, 1939 in Dornach, Switzerland. As a child he played cello and moved on to trombone in his teens. After studying trumpet at the Conservatory in Basel, he taught himself the bass. When he turned professional, his first gig was playing with Oscar and Miriam Klein.
In the 1960s Eckinger accompanied international visiting musicians such as Ben Webster, Buck clayton, Don Byas and Johnny Griffin. A move to Munich saw him working with Mal Waldron, Joe Haider and Philly Joe Jones.
Entering the world of academia Isla taught at the Swiss Jazz School from 1970 to 1976 during which time he also performed with Haider, Peter giger and Heinz Bigler in the Group Four for Jazz. He also kept in good company working on several projects with Slide Hampton, George Gruntz, Horace Parlan, Benny Bailey and Dexter Gordon.
By 1975 Eckinger was touring Japan with Mal Waldron, Steve Lacy and Manfred Schoof and Italy with Chet Baker in '76. By the end of the decade he was a member of the Wolfgang Engstfeld Quartet. He went on to work with Klaus Weiss, Fritz Pauer and Dizzy Gillespie.
Mid-1980s drew him to Los Angeles, California to record as a sideman with Chuck Manning on his 1991 release LA Calling. Trombonist and vibraphonist Isla Eckinger currently plays with Roman Schwaller, Jimmy Cobb,, Charly Antolini, Andy Scherrer and Paul Haag.

Robert Murray Gordon McConnell was born on February 14, 1935 in London, Ontario, Canada. He took up the valve trombone in high school and began his performing career in the early 1950s, performing and studying with Don Thompson, Bobby Gimby, Maynard Ferguson and music theory with Gordon Delamont. In 1968 he formed The Boss Brass, a big band that became his primary performing and recording unit through the Seventies and Eighties.
In 1988, McConnell took a teaching position at the Dick Grove School of Music in California, but gave up his position and returned to Canada a year later. In 1997, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and in 1998 was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Rob remained active throughout the 2000s, touring internationally as both a performer and educator. The Rob McConnell Tentet, a scaled-down version of the Boss Brass featuring many Boss Brass alumni, has been quite successful; it has recorded three major albums, The Rob McConnell Tentet, Thank You, Ted and Music of the Twenties.
Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass became one of Canada's most popular jazz ensembles, performing live and recording for Concord Jazz label and a variety of others. The valve trombonist, composer, arranger, bandleader, educator and recording artist died on May 1, 2010 in Toronto, Ontario, aged 75, from cancer. He left a catalogue of 33 albums recording with Maynard Ferguson and Mel Torme among others.

By the age of 13 I had a job in a workshop that made artistic ironwork, and in this way I helped pay for my schooling.
"When I was 18, I quit working to concentrate on my studies. I got married, and my wife is also from a family of artisans.
"When I was 23, she and I decided to open our own workshop with a different design concept, utilizing a metal cutter known as a plasma. I began to work with it, cutting perforated silhouettes from sheet metal. The shapes are cut freehand, and we give them form and texture with a hammer and other tools that I've made myself to create capricious designs. I apply an oxidized finish and protect each piece with a coat of lacquer.
"In this way, a piece of metal is transformed into a decorative accessory -- sometimes rustic, other times modern. All my designs are crafted in my own workshop. They arise from my imagination, from dreams, or whatever comes to mind as I begin to work with the metal."
