When a stand-up comic becomes America's most trusted news source, we know we have entered a new era. Jon Stewart is 45 today. Middle-age has brought him greater confidence which gives him chutzpah, silver hair which gives him gravitas, and a seasoned sense of irony that is one of the alleged benefits of maturity. Alas, Stewart has gone a little soft, though. Whether it is the writers strike or what, the Daily Show's content has followed the regrettable path of major news--it's become more about Hollywood celebrities than mock hard news. Rumor has it, Stewart's producer recently took some dissing for rarely booking women authors and experts on the show. So this week, Claire Danes and Halle Berry will be featured. Ms. Berry will discuss the news in Iraq. Ms. Danes will talk about her latest book on the economic implications of the mortgage crisis. Happy Birthday, Jon.

Keeping It Fresh
Ben and Hall Smyth have short attention spans. But then, doesn't everybody? The brothers opened their 400-square foot storefront in Manhattan premised on a simple concept--change is good. Welcome to Grand Opening, a business venture that completely overhauls its space every few months. It's been a drive-in theatre with a '64 Ford Falcon parked in the space, and home to a Ping-Pong tournament. Next up, a Holiday Office Party for those without an office. Grand Opening has a lesson for all brands, namely, that as more consumers seek experiences that are wrapped in ideas, the quicker they will consume them and look for the next, next thing. By making their venture all about the churn, the Smyth brothers keep themselves in sync with consumer demand, rather than playing catch-up. As the RenGen gathers force, it will heighten consumer appetities for innovation and high-concept design. Think about one place, one element of your marketing that can embrace this speed churn and exploit it. Better yet, get your customers to collaborate to add their own creative content to keep it fresh.

Doritos Tries to Make a Difference
As business and social interests fuse, new cause-marketing models are emerging. Take for example Doritos partnership with Do Something Good--which is primarily an online organization with a powerhouse Board comprised of packaged goods executives, media experts and venture capitalists. The goal of Do Something Good is to promote good works among youth and celebrities. It's partnership with Doritos includes on-pack recognition for young activitists who make a difference in their communities. The salty-snack company also makes mini-grants of $500 to young people to support their philanthropic projects. This populist approach to cause-marketing is exciting, since it democratizes good works, making it possible for everyday kids to get support for their projects.
What's not clear, is how many of these grants Doritos is planning to give away, or what the bigger picture is in the future. Will Doritos foment a movement, or merely skim the surface with a promotion that is cause-like? What is emerging is a category of cause-marketers looking to ride the wave of social concern and win instant relevance among the RenGen. It will be interesting to see how the American consumer adapts. Will they continue their commitment to the brands that have been in the game longer and have promoted more enduring ties? (Target and Yoplait come to mind.) Or will they embrace messages about making a difference in the world no matter what? My prediction is like begets like. The greater the commitment, the more loyalty the brand earns. More is more.

Grateful Spread
I am at my sister's home in Rochester, NY. Our children are near in age and have always frolicked when we gather. Now they are teenagers, yet still seem to click. My oldest took the train in from Vermont to join us. My sister and I are baking and cooking ourselves into a euphoric twirl; the wine helps. Every corner of the house smells of garlic and sage. I am so grateful. No matter what the conditions of our lives, or the world, when I am in the bosom of my family there is always enough love to go around. Same to you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Library Marketing Cuts Loose
Wyoming libraries launched a brilliant marketing campaign this fall. It fuses iconography with pop culture and renders the library brand fun, funny, and relevant. Since OCLC released its Perceptions Study on what library users think of libraries, "books are the brand," has become the mantra among people in libraryland. Wyoming's clever campaign builds on that research. The campaign is being chatted about on business blogs, most especially marketing blogs. So, now it's sticky and has crossover. Look for more discussion from the business community about well-executed marketing campaigns from educational and cultural organizations. For the RenGen, it's hip to be smart.

Blog Sponsorship Model Emerges
Joseph Jaffe did it. He developed an integrated sponsorship deal with the U. S. Postal Service centered on Jaffe's blog. The deal bundles an online component including Podcasts, plus print ads, along with what looks like a subscription-based model for Deliver Magazine that may lead to other content for Jaffe, as well. This deal confirms my commentary from last week where I forecast this shift. Bloggers are a savvy, hearty bunch. They will pioneer more than just editorial content, they will break new trails in advertising and sponsorship models, as well. Cool deal, Joe.

We've moved
After a hectic week, we are proud to say we have a new home at 444 N. Michigan Ave. For those of you living far from Chicago, this may mean very little to you. But Michigan Avenue has a certain cache to it. A la-de-dah aura to which I never really aspired. What's more is I am tired of moving. I moved my household twice this year. It makes me grumpy taking hours to cull through stuff that takes you down this path of, "Oh my gosh I had completely forgotten about this!" But now that we are here? I'm thrilled. Great cityscape views with a slice of lake view. Thanks to Spudart for the photo of window washers at our new home: 444 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. Phone is the same: 312-283-5995.

How Much is a Blogger Worth? A Sponsorship Model's on the Horizon
The recent scuttle-butt over Huffington Post's position against paying bloggers points up a bigger issue about the creative wellspring that the RenGen is channeling. Simply, there is too much content out there. And not all of it is crap. In fact, by sinking hours into their daily blogs, a new legion of writers is emerging. Attuned to the crisp, plucky style of the web, these bloggers have created impressive audiences. What's more important, is that they've sharpened their skills to rapier effect and HuffPo has figured that out. So has main stream media. A fellow blogger emailed me last week and asked me if she should take an offer from Business Week to convert her blog into and BW-branded blog. I asked--What's in it for you? Notoriety, expanded audience, imprimatur were all good answers she gave me. Any money? No word yet. For now, bloggers may be relegated to a class of hobbyists who add spice to the established media. The real journalists get paid for their pieces. But as the influence of the blogosphere grows, its organizing power may see the rise of a reverse cartel that sets pricing for intellectual property, not just eyeballs. Bloggers will start collaborating on price setting and will factor in the tangible (so much $ per word) and the intangible (prestige of the author and ability to draw an audience worthy of advertisers). Transactionally, it will resemble a sponsorship model, where a sponsor pays to make certain quality media available to readers and create an emotional bond with authentic community spokespersons.

Best Blog Conferences
Liz Strauss's annual SOB Conference was recently ranked in the Top 10 Blogger Conferences. I always find Liz's simple, no-bologna style refreshing. She attended my book launch party in Chicago last month and was highly engaging. Congrats, Liz. You've worked very hard for your success. Bloggers Derrick Sorrles and Karen Hanrahan were also in attendence. Both very successful bloggers.

ChangeThis Publishes The RenGen Manifesto
I am overwhelmed. Well, nearly. A few weeks ago, I submitted a proposal to the folks at ChangeThis.com requesting that they publish my manifesto on the RenGen: Renaissance Generation, based on my new book. ChangeThis has been a thought leader and provacateur website since 2005, when it was conceived by Seth Godin. Now owned by 1800CEORead, the editorial and design team continues to publish thought provoking manifestos for the business community. I later learned they get a lot of proposals. Their online community votes for the ideas they think are worthy of manifestos. Tom Peters, Malcolm Gladwell and many other notable authors have published ChangeThis manifestos. So I am honored right down to my toes to be among this class of thinkers.

RenGen Winner: Philips Global
Philips has a new website that is bang-on RenGen. The site encourages people to do their part to diminish global warming with one simple act: changing to flourescent lightbulbs. So what? The ideal that individuals can turn the tides of major problems by doing what they can, taking back control one transaction at a time, is very RenGen. Notice the woman. She's not a Vogue model or a Hollowood celebrity. She's your neighbor or your yoga instructor at the YMCA. Imperfectly authentic. The site is smart, clean and inspiring.

Bobbi Brown Black Ruby Sparkle Eye Palette
Bobbi Brown Black Ruby Sparkle Eye Palette ($45.00 for 0.28 oz.) consists of four Sparkle Shadow shades: Pink Rose (pink multi-colored pearl), Crushed Silver (light diamond pearl), Black Ruby (black plum with pearl), and Onyx (plum charcoal with pearl). Onyx is the only shade that isn't new (and exclusive) to the palette, and the palette itself is limited edition. Sparkle eyeshadows is Bobbi Brown's take on glitter; it uses shimmer and fine glitter in a creamy, translucent base that is supposed to apply smoothly and never crease or travel. From what I understand, these are not opaque in color but should provide some color punch.
- Pink Rose is a semi-sheer light pink with subtle yellow undertones and darker rose and white shimmer and sparkle. It's similar to Cle de Peau #207 but glittery. Giorgio Armani #8 is less pink.
- Crushed Silver is a sheer pale white with iridescent pink and white shimmer and glitter. Chanel Fantasme is whiter.
- Black Ruby sheer is a brown-burgundy color base with iridescent pink and plum shimmer and sparkle. I couldn't think of a shade quite like this one with all the shimmer/glitter it has going on. The base color here is a little dry, though, so it has an uneven look.
- Onyx is a gray-mauve brown with silver sparkle. The color actually reminded me of Illamasqua's Bacterium Nail Varnish, because of the way it shimmers. Urban Decay Bust is somewhat similar but less purple in the shimmer.
These eyeshadows feel almost wet and creamy, but they're not like a cream. They have a wet-looking finish, because of how high the shine is. While they have a lot less fall out compared to your traditional glitter eyeshadow in powder form, there are still a few stray glittery bits found along the under eye area after eight hours. I don't find glitter on my nose from it, though! Generally, the color payoff is semi-sheer but can be built up a bit if used wet or patted on.
Bobbi Brown's formula could be more consistent, because I initially loved these when they first debuted, but I wasn't impressed by last year's holiday palette that included these. This year's holiday palette is much better and more in line with the ones I do like. The palette contains around $51.69 worth of Sparkle Eyeshadows (normally $24 for 0.13 oz.).
The Glossover
Black Ruby
|These are some of my favorite glitter eyeshadows, because they do stick and stay much, much better than glitter eyeshadows in powder form. Though sheerness seems to be part of the design, some of it seems to result in unevenness, not just softer color.

Guest Author: Kelly Gendron SATISFYING THE CURSE
Hi, Kelly, and welcome to Love Triumphs Past and Present. Tell us a little bit about you the person, not the writer.
Me? Well, when I'm not writing, I'm either spending time with my amazing family, or I'm at my other full time job. I represent a group of nursing facilities in the WNY area. I'm a nurse and my job is to do a medical evaluation on the patients prior to their admission to our facilities. I love it! I get to meet so many different people! I never know who or where the day will take me. It could be to someone's home, another facility, or in a hospital. It's a daily adventure and, the best part is, I get to help people.
I live in the Finger Lakes. We're neighbors! What inspired you to write Satisfying the Curse?
Satisfying The Curse is my second NESA (National Elite Security Agency) Book. I had so much fun with my first one, The Risqué Target, I just had to write another. The characters are new, the story is different, but the agency remains the same. NESA will do whatever it takes to get the job done!
What's your book about?
Satisfying the Curse is about a young woman, Juliana Pratt, who believes she's cursed. Her entire life, her father's warned her that she's destined to be a wanton just like her adulteress mother. She thinks he's hidden her away from his elite society because of it. When her father's arrested for murder, he asks her to come into the spotlight to portray the doting daughter. Juliana agrees to the interviews and talk shows, but before she goes on the two-week tour of lies about her father, and with him behind bars and unable to stop her, she must first take care of her starving curse.
And Juliana picks the perfect man to get the job done. She secures him to a bed, but fails terribly at finishing the task. But later, Juliana discovers that the man she'd chosen to fulfill her every fantasy is also the agent assigned to protect her for the next two weeks! Ah-Oh!
NESA Agent T. Ryker prides himself on his discipline-that is, until his new assignment, the prim and proper Juliana Pratt, puts that discipline to the ultimate test! When Ryker finds out that Juliana was the masked woman who drugged and handcuffed him to the bed in his hotel room, he also discovers her true identity. Ryker agrees to satisfy Juliana's ravenous curse, but he has his own reasons for doing it, and it's not just to give Juliana's body what it craves… for there is something else Agent T. Ryker wants from Juliana Pratt..Tell us about your major characters and their conflicts.
For years, Juliana's done the right thing. It's left her inexperienced and her bookish intelligence tends to have her coming off as naïve. But she's stronger then that and she's ready to change those misconceptions! She's prepared to do whatever it takes to satisfy her hungry, sex driven curse— so she can finally move on with her life. But the one man who can do all of that for her, he isn't cooperating all!
Agent T. Ryker is the product of a virgin and a rapist. He believes his blood is contaminated. He prides himself on his stringent discipline that is until Juliana Pratt waltzes into his life. Ryker makes it a rule never to touch a virgin. But Juliana has something Ryker wants and, reluctant as he may be, Juliana and her starving curse might just get him to bend the rules to get it.
If you had to provide a theme for your book, what would it be?
What happens when something pure collides with something tainted?
Please share an excerpt of Satisfying the Curse.
It was dark. He was groggy. His body was heavy and exhausted. Something sweet, like the scent of lavender and pumpkin pie, wafted to Ryker's nose. He couldn't help but inhale deeply, taking in more of the arousing aroma. It almost soothed the throbbing in his head. He tried to lift his hand to massage the pulsating ache, but a strong bond stopped his wrists. He tried to open his weighty lids. The light stung his eyes. It took a few minutes for his eyes to adjust. Finally he saw her, a woman dressed as if she were going to a masquerade ball. The little black feathers didn't hide the bright green eyes peering back at him through the mask. Her hair was dark with auburn highlights. It was unruly, long, and tousled, but in a most alluring way. He scanned her tall, slender body that was covered only by a thin, black, silky dress. It was like a lingerie teaser on the cover of Playboy, something to lure you to buy the magazine so you could see the nude centerfolds. Hmm. Green eyes and dark hair? Well, this certainly is not little Miss Mindy, he thought, imagining that the sexy little blue-eyed blonde was probably sitting at the bar still waiting for him, thinking she'd been stood up.
He tried to sit up, but all of his extremities were pinned down. When he realized he couldn't move, he looked to his feet, then quickly to his hands. They were bound by leather straps, and a sheet was draped over the lower half of his body. He wiggled, and damn it, his bare ass slid against the mattress. What the hell is going on here? He was tied to a bed, naked, and he had no idea how he got there.
The last thing he remembered was going back to his hotel room for a shower. He was jetlagged from the plane trip and exhausted from the fight. He remembered sitting down on the chair just for a second to take a rest and… Wait! Had she drugged him? Is that where his headache was coming from? The fogginess? The water bottle. Ryker recalled only one in the fridge, so that he'd had to take that one. It must have been meant for him. Son of a fucking bitch!
"Don't be afraid." The woman's voice was low and provocative, but reassuring.
Ryker scowled at her accusation. "Afraid? I'm not afraid," he snapped. Pissed, he thought, but not afraid.
"It's a natural reaction," she pointedly stated. "You're vulnerable right now, and vulnerability comes from being unable to protect yourself." She took a few steps toward him. "But do you know what you're trying to protect yourself from?" She stopped beside the bed and tapped her finger against the leather restraint on his wrist.
"You're afraid because you fear what we all fear… pain. But I'm not going to hurt you."
Ryker suspiciously examined her, trying to figure out who the hell she was. He chuckled. "You've got me confused with the general population. It takes a lot more than some chick tying me up to scare me, and as for pain…"Ryker sneered at her, wishing he had some idea who his captor was.
"Pain is nothing more than a challenge. I find it easy to defeat."
"Hmm." She thoughtfully studied him. "After seeing you fight, I'm almost inclined to believe you."
"You were at the fight?" He asked the question nonchalantly, not wanting to give away his confusion. He tried to recall if he'd seen her there, but he decided that she wasn't exactly the forgettable type. She was definitely not a woman he'd pass by without a second glance, especially since he was a sucker for long legs and auburn hair. The cat-green eyes were enticing too.
"Yes. That's why I tied you up. You're very strong."
"Listen, sweetheart-"
She raised a finger as if to hush him, and Ryker-strangely enough-found himself hushed, wanting to hear what she had to say. "I want to touch you," she said.
His cock disobediently thumped.
She dropped her finger and crossed her arms over her breasts. "With your permission, of course. I have no intentions of raping you, and-"
Really? Did she just say that? Ryker snorted at the thought. "Raping me? You fucking drugged me and tied me up!" He shook his wrists. "Doll, if you're worried about violating my body without my damn permission, I think you're already guilty." He was no longer enticed by the idea of her touching him. His libido was silenced by the extreme anger coursing through his body.
"Yes. As I said you are very strong."
"Look, pumpkin…" Pumpkin? Did I really just call her that? Fuck! It was all he could smell. Ryker lifted his chest from the bed, getting as close to her as his restraints would possibly allow. "If you wanted to get laid, all you needed to do was ask," he seethed, speaking for his cock, for at that moment, anger was filling the head connected to his neck. And he wasn't a fan of being shackled to a hotel bed, no matter how hot she was. She didn't even flinch or back away from his aggression, and oddly enough, both of his heads were pleased about that. Ryker preferred a woman with a little gumption, and this one clearly had more than her fair share.
"I'm not entirely sure I want to have sex with you, and as I was trying to explain to you, that is why I needed to tie you up."
When the little feline admitted so matter-of-factly that she wasn't sure she wanted to get laid, both of his heads agreed that it came as a bit of a disappointment. Ryker settled back on the bed, his body still fatigued from the fight and whatever drug she'd spiked his water with. He inspected her. Was she trying to tell him she tied him up for her own safety? He was sure that she didn't really know him, because if she did, she would have known that there was no need for that, his discipline was indestructible. He had needs and urges just like everybody else, but even he'd never take a woman without her consent-not to say that once consent was established, the woman wouldn't find herself in a bad way, crying and writhing beneath his relentless body. "If you don't want to fuck, then what the hell do you want?"
She sighed. "As I said, I want to touch you."
Ryker was leery, not sure how to respond. What man wouldn't want this chick to touch him? Already, his rod bellowed to let her do it, but his loss of power was berating him, demanding that he regain control over the situation. He wasn't at all comfortable in the submissive position, something he'd never experienced before nor wanted to, and lying there like a shark without its teeth, he knew why. He needed to regain control while maintaining his strict discipline. That was what he prided himself on. After all, he had to. His blood was contaminated.
"Tell you what…" he said, nodding toward her dress. Cuffed or not, it was time for Ryker to grab a hold of the reigns. "Why don't you take that dress off, and we'll see how my body reacts to you," he said, drawing his gaze back up to her jade eyes, "and then I'll let you know if you may touch me."
She tilted her head considerately and turned to the door, perhaps thinking of running. Ryker hoped she wouldn't, because he didn't need to be left in that awkwardly helpless position, still tied to the hotel room bed. Her head slowly twisted back. She moved her hands to the bottom of the thin material and lifted.
Ryker held his breath. Beneath that teasing little dress, she wore a black lace push-up bra. A sneak peek of the start of her blushing nipples filled his eyes, but they were quickly drawn down to her flat stomach, where there was a small tattoo with some type of Chinese symbol arced above her belly button. He averted to her panties, which were also skimpy and black. Thump, thump. His cock responded fiercely beneath the sheet, demanding that Ryker allow her to touch him.
He glimpsed down at the lift in the sheet between his legs, and she followed his eyes. She lifted her chin, and a noticeable sly smile turned up her sweet, plump lips. "It appears your body is reacting appropriately."
Ryker groaned. There's nothing appropriate about getting turned on by a bitch who drugged me and kidnapped me.
Gritty! Where can we buy your book?
All of my books are published by Red Sage Publishing , but they are also available at Barnes & Noble's, and Amazon. You can go to my website for a direct link at www.kellygendron.com.
What are your writing goals? Any new projects?
Oh, I've been diligently writing, and playing around with a couple different paranormal romances. One is a series. I'm currently working on a new contemporary erotic romance. And as far as my NESA Books go, I really like Josie Deetz from Satisfying The Curse— I think she might be getting her own story.
My goals you ask? Read, write and forever daydream!
Thanks, Ann, for having me here today!
You are most welcome, Kelly. Best of luck to you as you pursue your writing career.

You read that right. The actor best known for his comedic appearances as Carl Spackler and Dr. Peter Venkman in will portray the 32nd president of the United States in 'Hyde Park on Hudson."
The movie, which is in pre-production, will follow the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret "Daisy" Stuckley during a weekend in 1939 when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited FDR's New York estate.
Though famous for his comedic roles, Murray, 60, has shown his range. In 2003, Murray earned an Oscar nod for his portrayal of a fading movie star approaching the edge of mediocrity in "Lost In Translation."
As for Bertie and the Queen, Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter will likely not reprise their "King's Speech" roles; instead, Samuel West and Olivia Colman are reported to be in talks with Focus Features.
The film, based on a radio drama by Richard Nelson, will be directed by Roger Michell, and is slotted to be released sometime next year.

Yoshimura Suzuki Racing Collects Two More SuperBike Podium Finishes at Road America
NEWS June 4, 2012
Photo by Brian J. Nelson
Courtesy of Team Yoshimura Suzuki Racing PR:
ELKHART LAKE, WI (June 3, 2012) – Team Yoshimura Suzuki Racing was the picture of consistency at this past AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Championship double-header weekend at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. In front of his home crowd, Wisconsin native Blake Young raced his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 to two podium finishes. The weekend also saw Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Chris Clark enjoy his best overall weekend performance of the season, thanks to seventh-place results on Saturday and Sunday.
The first Superbike race of the weekend was delayed and shortened due to powerful storms sweeping through the area. Despite the gusting wind and torrential rains, Yoshimura Suzuki's Young put his head down and got a good start from the second spot on the grid. Young conservatively clicked off smooth laps to finish second. On Sunday, the weather improved and Young turned in a more aggressive performance on his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000, dicing with his competition right down to the wire before bringing home second. These results bring Young's podium tally to nine in as many races this year.
"I admit I'm a little disappointed," said Young. "I'd hoped to win at my home track. But this weekend was definitely a learning experience, and I know that we have some improvements to make. We have a few weeks before the next race, so we'll go back and figure out what we need to do to come out strong for Barber."
Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Clark was undaunted by the bad weather and had a good showing at Road America. He started both Superbike races from the third row and then slotted his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 into solid positions in both rain and shine. After running as high as fifth on Sunday, Clark carded two seventh-place finishes at the end of the weekend. Currently, Clark is tied for eighth in the overall championships points.
"Right before the first race, we caught the tail end of a big storm," said Clark. "But by the time the race started, it was drying. Unfortunately, I got behind a rider whose bike was spitting oil. Once he was off the track, I put my head down on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 and gained time. By the white flag, it was raining again and the race was red flagged, but I kept pushing and cut the gap even more. Sunday's race was a hard-fought battle for fifth. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and wound up seventh. But I'm happy with the bike and my lap times show that. Now, I'm looking forward to Barber and moving forward."
Team Yoshimura Suzuki Racing's next event of the 2012 AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Championship is at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL, the weekend of June 22 - 24, 2012.

Patrick Beverley called for a technical foul after Reggie Jackson's aggressive attempt at a steal (VIDEO)
May 2, 2013, 10:57 AM EDT
Patrick Beverley has become a household name for NBA fans during these playoffs, thanks to his involvement in the play that led to Russell Westbrook's season-ending torn meniscus injury.
As the series between the Rockets and the Thunder shifted back to Oklahoma City for the first time since the incident, Beverley was targeted by fans and Thunder players as the villain, despite the fact that the play that injured Westbrook was in no way a dirty one, and happens every single night during the regular season.
Midway through the first quarter of Houston's Game 5 win, the Thunder's Reggie Jackson decided it would be a good idea to put Beverley on the receiving end of the type of play that ultimately sidelined Westbrook, and aggressively went for a steal as Beverley was in the midst of signaling for a timeout.
Beverley knew exactly what Jackson was trying to do here, so he gave him a little bump after the whistle to let him know he would be willing to defend himself if the Thunder wanted to take up this nonexistent cause of retaliating in Westbrook's honor.
Beverley was immediately whistled for a technical foul, and I think that was the wrong decision by the officials.
The referees had to have been aware of the situation, and especially on a similar play that involved Beverley and Westbrook, they should have let Beverley's reaction go with a no-call.
Additionally, if you look at the two plays side by side, Westbrook was still in the process of collecting the ball, and Beverley had a legitimate chance to steal it. In the Game 5 play involving Jackson, Beverley had already picked up his dribble and the referee had blown the whistle before Jackson was able to make contact, which to me, makes these two very different scenarios.

OMG who cares man. Reggie Jackson needs to get a grip. The play wasn't dirty when Westbrook got hurt. Stuff happens sometimes and Reggie doesn't need to be so aggressive towards Patrick Beverly.
- soonerthunderviking - May 2, 2013 at 12:10 PM
Jackson never made contact lol…
- soonerthunderviking - May 2, 2013 at 12:11 PM
start at .26 seconds……maybe im the one thats blind….idk…didnt touch him to me
- jpaynethemayne - May 2, 2013 at 12:55 PM
- flyrocket31 - May 2, 2013 at 1:34 PM
Beverly plays wth so much passion! i love it. keep it up. hopefully lin can come back game 6 so we can run small ball again. with Parsons at the 4. we kept that last game in a stragnle hold. WE BELIEVE IN HOUSTON!!!!
- Mr. Wright 212 - May 2, 2013 at 3:30 PM
I like this Beverley kid. He has poise and moxie. Bad call by the officials.
Still waiting for even a whistle — never mind a suspension — for all the flagrant elbows Kevin Garnett is throwing in the BOS/NYK series, and the arm lock on Melo right in front of James Capers last night…
- rohlo - May 2, 2013 at 7:49 PM
okc players are a bunch off cry babies!! the play wasnt dirty on westbrook and it was basketball play..if anything the league should fine jacskon as it was intentional and could be deemed as trying to injur a player intentionally!
- kavika6 - May 3, 2013 at 3:48 AM
He can give but he can't take. I know Beverley is the Houston MVP now but even he shouldn't be allowed to get away with something like that. Good call refs.

Technology products are not about just bits and bytes, but also about art and craftsmanship for Jack Dorsey, CEO of Square and cofounder and head of product at Twitter.
Dorsey, who once wanted to illustrate flowers and design jeans, spoke about his human-focused philosophy of product design and technology at the GigaOm Roadmap conference in San Francisco Thursday. It showed Dorsey's deep interest in traditional ideas of design and craft, which is notable considering Dorsey heads two of the hottest and fastest growing technology companies.
"The arc that I'm most fascinated by is where technology reminds us of our own humanness," Dorsey said. "It encourages us to use what we already have. The amazing thing about Twitter is you use it every day and it makes the world feel very small… You can converse with and talk with anyone in the world… It allows people to make better decisions. We've never had access to this amazing wealth of information at our fingertips." Both Square and Twitter are about encouraging human interaction and tools for people to connect globally, Dorsey said. "Both are great at encouraging more human face-to-face interaction. Both are great at giving global tools that allow individuals to start immediately."
In discussing Twitter's effect on the Iran protests, Dorsey said he didn't have much sense of Iran before the protests, but he recognized that Twitter brought out more understanding between people. "Suddenly you have this rich context for what's happening on the ground and how people are interacting with each other," Dorsey said. "I firmly believe that the more of that understanding we can surface with technology, the more empathy (we have). When we have more empathy about… the struggles people go through every day… we have more understanding of what's important in their lives and why it's important."
Asked how Twitter affects governments, Dorsey said Twitter is part of people creating their own "temporary autonomous zones," he said, citing the anarchist thinker Hakim Bey. People can quickly create a group around any purpose and then quickly disperse he said, which can happen across many ideas or organizations. (A "tweetup" meeting is one example but a protest in Iran is another.)
To make Square's staff focus on building a product that's perfect for the user, Square starts by writing a narrative script, like a play, of how a user would use a product. Everyone from engineers to designers to marketing staff then focus on that script as a model. It's part of Dorsey's idea of focusing on the specifically human use of technology.
Dorsey also talked about his obsession with design and craftsmanship in creating products. He cited San Francisco-based Sightglass, a boutique coffee company that he supports, which focuses fanatically on details of its coffee and its cafe. "This builds business loyalty, devotion and love. When you start discovering small details that people obsess over, people fall in love even more." Dorsey cited the Japanese design philosophy of "wabi sabi" as a model, which he says balances the ideas of sleek modernism with rustic " zen-like chaos." Another company he praised in this mold is New York-based Ernest Sewn jeans company.
For Twitter, Dorsey said the biggest challenge is enabling people anywhere to discover relevant things instantly. "With Twitter I believe the biggest work and biggest challenge ahead of us and the biggest opportunity and potential is for people being able to discover something that's instantly relevant and meaningful where you are."
For Square, Dorsey said his most exciting thing is the Card Case consumer payment service (story). "You can literally walk into Sightglass, order a cappuchino, the cashier can see my picture and name, I can enjoy it and walk out. Not once would I bring out my wallet or cash or a phone. Everything's taken care of."

An IQ test alone cannot be used to determine mental retardation.
"I personally need to uphold the expected standard of behavior for a professional athlete." Get arrested for domestic violence and a weapons charge; get suspended for using performance enhancing drugs; get loads of women pregnant and don't have anything to do with the kids; you are someone in your entourage assault a member of the general public causing significant bodily harm to that person; complain and whine about the slave wages you are making; don't ever get educated; if you get married, cheat on your spouse. A couple of DUI's is a good start, but you've got a long way to go to make it to the expected standards of a professional athlete.
That's nuts.
What a drag.
I think the percentage of women who experience sexual trauma who are ot in the military is higher. That being said, it should never happen in the military.
Why have Yeldon or Mettenberger on the list? These two guys are unproven in college. I hope Yeldon is great, but this list is a joke.
I can't believe this guy had the audacity to make state employees pay for part of their retirement and health benefits.
I hope Bama pulls out the victory tonight, but last night showed me how good Oklahoma is. Of Bama's 8 runs, zero were earned. If not for a mountain of mistakes my the Sooners, they would have cake walked to the national title last night. Bama has got to hit the ball tonight or it's lights out. I don't expect that Oklahoma will be making as many mistakes tonight.
"I like to use self talk and MOTIVE myself."
That was what I was trying to say in my first post. Been a rough week and my brain is quite fatigued.
I agree. Would have made more sense to get Clemson in the league because they have been rivals with USC for years. Arkansas and A&M were rivals back in the Southwest Conference Days.
Pardon me. I screwed up on the division part, but not playing 6 of your conference opponents was the point I was trying to make.
I comprehended the article just fine. Conferences with fewer members play nine conference games already. There is already chatter by ESPN talking heads that the SEC could be screwed over for a national title shot because they wouldn't have played all the teams in their division and only played a little over half the teams in their conference.
I could have sworn there were more than 100 Black men in the greater mobile area.
The guys that shot him better hope he dies. That's one tough hombre that drives himself to the hospital after getting shot in the chest.
Al's still ticked off because the courts wouldn't let him pick and choose which precincts to recount in the 2000 election and that they went against his plea to have absentee military ballots not count.
Should have gone to 9 conference games in my opinion and dropped one of the cupcakes. Keep your cross division rivals, play all seven within your division and have a rotating opponent in the other division.
"Edwards lawyers have argued that the ex-US senator never knew that taking the money violated campaign finance law.." Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. You are running for political office and claim not to know campaign finance rules. Give me a break.
His family says he wasn't an aggressive person, but he has multiple arrests for battery. They are locking him up Blacksheep. In the cheapest coffin so that he can take his dirt nap.
Incorrect. It is a felony.

Seven months after Central Dauphin School Board decided not to renew Superintendent Luis Gonzalez's three-year contract, moved him out of the administration building and gave him special assignments, the search for his replacement has gone into high gear.
The board, saying it wants a superintendent who can take the district in a different direction, has paid the Pennsylvania School Boards Association $11,000 to find a replacement for Gonzalez.
Applications for the position to head the East Shore district are being accepted through next Monday and will be reviewed by the board starting March 27.
Gonzalez has been superintendent since 2009.
Board President Ford Thompson said the board has decided to conduct "a regional search for a superintendent in Pennsylvania and contiguous states rather than a national search."
He said that past national searches "didn't yield what we expected" and that the board opted to use the school boards association "because it's in our backyard and was the least expensive option."

When the buyer decides they are driving to your residence using their Real estate agent, the very first factor they'll notice is when the home appears like around the outdoors.
Does the yard look clean? May be the roof included in a tree hanging regarding this? An easy coat of fresh paint around the mailbox and also the outdoors of the home can produce a large difference.
Remember they ought to be drawn to the home to even have a look inside.
4) Condition of the home
Does the home need repairs? This is among the major turn-offs for many purchasers. Many people cannot handle repairs.
And when they are able to handle it, they'll expect an additional cost cut to pay for it.
What are the damaged home appliances? A brand new coat of fresh paint and carpet can perform miracles. However, take care not to break your budget fixing the home.
5) Negotiate
If the interested buyer requests it, anticipate to negotiate. Most frequently they simply require a small cost break to purchase it. Celebrate the main difference between selling or otherwise, as well as keeping it for several weeks.
In case your interest rates are purchasing property, you need to know immediately that it may be rather the overwhelming process.

About Motorboats

Otherwise it might be your profession to visit out for fishing, or else you may choose getting a ship ride for many aquatic sports. Whatever might be the reason why, the best brand out there would be to own a ship. Again, you may decide to sell your overall, not-so-old boat, to obtain a new choice for you. There's a lots of aspects you have to be worried about whenever you buy motorboats or sell motorboats.
Allow me to first clarify the diverse options that you should buy motorboats or sell motorboats, to create the whole span of actions simple for you. Whenever you intend to buy motorboats, your wallet may pinch only you first consider the financial aspect. To suit to your budget, you will find the option to choose the used motorboats rather than purchasing a replacement. To purchase used motorboats, there has to be another people prepared to sell motorboats.

Today you might go for online searching or even the conventional method going from door-to-door to sellers. Based on your plan, you can purchase motorboats for yachting, skiing, fishing, day-sailing, racing, cruising or pleasure boating.
To discover how to pull off purchasing or selling motorboats have a trip through the amount of options as below.
Sellers or Middle men: Probably the most conventional method to buy motorboats or sell motorboats would be to catch your hands on boat sellers or brokers who keep an eye on all of the registered motorboats, whether it is new or old. The sellers or even the middle men provide you with a wide range to select from, keeping you up-to-date through emails or any other posting. It will likewise be made certain that you simply notice all boat selling auctions which might show up inside your locality. These auctions provide you with the platform to market your old motorboats too. It's highly bothersome that you should keep an eye on each one of these nuances. So leave your requirement towards the sellers or even the middle men.
Advertisement: A variety of traditional media like newspapers, television, hoarding, posters, booklets gives you the data about various items of the interest. Then when you invest your hard-gained money to purchase motorboats, you will not deny dealing with these ads, weight loss you will find the options, more you compare the items. However these conventional media are really important when you choose to market motorboats. By setting up ads, you receive uncovered towards the audiences directly who risk turning as much as become your clients.

If you're a buyer, it can make simpler that you should select from an finish quantity of options when comparing the whole cost band with the product particulars required for the acquisition decision. If you wish to sell motorboats, you receive a range of target clients, and wager for that most expensive buyer. Online search hugely speeds up purchasing or selling process thus saving both precious money and time.
Before you decide to finalize on purchasing motorboats and sign up sales agreement, you have to inspect the health of the boat on your own, and appearance all relevant papers.
You will find many people who are interested in the possibilities of buy motorboats being an investment method currently when the world is studying the aftermath from the great recession. When you're speaking about purchasing motorboats like a mean of investment, then it may be assumed that you're not speaking about surfboards or small fishing boats for sale. Luxury motorboats, yachts or large fishing boats for sale (size around 50-100 foot) will be your mug of coffee if you possess the word "investment" in your mind. To suit this overgrowing demand numerous online businesses have develop sites offering boat-proprietors or boat companies to market motorboats online to potential purchasers who wish to buy motorboats.
Now if you're considering buy motorboats for any long-term investment purpose, you'll be able to get financial support from banks or personal money loan companies. Mortgages can also be found much like for purchasing property qualities. What all you want do is make a little researching the market around the trends and rates of sell motorboats prior to signing the offer. If you're in good terms having a particular bank, you are able to request these to supply you financing to purchase motorboats which you'll pay in minimum 5 or maximum 12 years. You may already know, longer payback time means greater rate of interest. Otherwise, if at all possible, you are able to convince the one who is wanting to sell motorboats with installment facilities.
Just in case you've been successful in convincing a bank to invest in the loan to purchase motorboats they'll first take care of couple of issues. Kind of the boat, how big the engine, sell motorboats style, feature, develops, size, condition, manufacturing year etc. are the issues which have to be removed prior to the bank sneaks in. Frequently it appears the banks don't pay much curiosity about offering loan to purchase motorboats that are old or second hands. Case due to the truth that for any bank it's tough to look for the worth of a classic or second hands boat. Also, it can't contact the prior boat-owner who's wanting to sell motorboats for evaluating its cost and value. Furthermore, even when the financial institution contacts the vendor, do you consider he/she'll declare the initial worth of the boat? It is extremely apparent he will sell motorboats at greater prices. Hence we are able to eliminate this possibility.
In nations like China, Hong Kong or any other such Asian nations, the fad to purchase motorboats is actually growing daily. Therefore, the amount of persons wanting to market motorboats can also be extremely high. So it will likely be a smarter decision if you're able to buy motorboats from all of these nations since you may obtain the original factor in cheaper rate. Another point you have to bear in mind may be the usability from the motorboats you're purchasing. Contact the sellers who sell motorboats online for obtaining a lot of the effectiveness from the motorboats you will buy.

Internet bogged down
i had to get on my PC to post this... but just a few days ago the internet on my mac is REDICULOUSLY slow.
IF it connects, it takes about 2 minutes to load a page. i got it to stumble to MSN, and to the net speed tester and its still apparently connecting at 4500/kbps and my PC which is on the same router runs fine.
and its not just the browser, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla, Opera, all work like Im on a 28.8 connection.
anybody have any ideas?
anyone have any ideas?
Remove all the internet cache and cookies either using Onyx or any other method. Check whether your firewall is configured correctly. Try a different browser if the system is still slow.
novicew has it exactly right. Get yourself OnyX, a freeware maintenance utility and use it to:
1/ run all of the daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts. This cleans out all the rubbish that slowly accumulates over time
2/ run all of the cache cleaning stuff - more of the same
Restart and try again. I bet your Mac is MUCH faster after that.
Oh and one other thing. Check your System Preferences, Energy Saver, Options, Processor Performance. Make sure it is set to "Highest". On more than one machine I have become aware of, this has gotten set to a lower setting, dramatically slowing things down.

Judging by magazines and TV, doesn't it seem that only young people have sex? Well, you know better! As you grow older, your sex life may change. But that doesn't mean it ends.
Why Talk About Sex?
Talking to your partner can improve your relationship and your sex life. And talking to your healthcare provider is the only way to get treatment for medical problems. Talking about sex may feel awkward. But you can do it. Try writing down questions or concerns you have. This can help you get a discussion started. You'll be glad you did!
Your Health Can Affect Your Sex Life
Age can sometimes bring health problems. And conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure can cause changes that affect your sex life. Certain medications can affect sex, too. Be open and honest with your healthcare provider about any problems you're having. Your healthcare provider may be able to help if you:
Have pain during sex.
Aren't able to have an erection.
Aren't able to have an orgasm.
Have developed a sexual problem after starting to take a new medication.
Have a physical problem that prevents you from enjoying sex.
Talking to Your Partner
If you have a concern about your sex life, it affects your partner, too. So you need to talk about it. Just getting a problem out in the open can go a long way toward solving it. What you may want to talk about:
What you do and don't enjoy.
How to work around a physical problem.
Ways to be intimate other than intercourse.
Whether to seek medical care for a problem.
How condoms can protect you and your partner from STDs.
Getting Back into the Dating Game?
It's not uncommon these days for older adults to find themselves single again. If the last time you were single was a while ago, you may wonder if the rules have changed. It's true that some things have changed. When you were young, you may not have thought much about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These days a sexually active person needs to learn about STDs, and know how to avoid getting them. But some things haven't changed. As always, you decide what you will and won't do. This includes deciding whether to have sex and if so, under what conditions.

Ok, rolltidemom....
What's to stop a heterosexual person from doing that now? Let me marry a random, sick man so that he'll have the ability to go on my insurance??
It could happen with anyone, regardless of sexual identity.
I say let someone marry a pillow! Let someone marry a goat or a dog! It doesn't make my marriage any less of a marriage. If I thought it did, then I have some serious issues.
You have a sick, sick person on the loose in the area in which this happened. A person that can do this to an animal doesn't need much persuasion to do this to a person. I hope he or she is found quickly!
Neverhere- I agree with you, completely.
You should NEVER be charged for an overdraft on top of an overdraft. Sometimes that $5.00 coffee could end up costing you $100.00. I completely agree.
But to think that it's the evil bank's fault for MAKING you overdraft because they can?? No. I don't like that thinking. When the account is opened, the posting is explained either by the banker or by the little book of rules that no one reads, but should.
Don't put yourself in the position to be "taken advatage of" by going over your balance and being charged a fee.
It's like getting a speeding ticket; do you blame the police officer that caught you and/or the municipality that set the fine and court costs that you have to pay? Or do you get upset at yourself, slow down and learn from your mistake after paying your fines?
Am I missing something here? The bottom line is very, very simple.
This is ridiculous. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse.
So let me get this straight… I, your customer, screw up, and your answer is to "simplify it for the customers?" Why? Because your customers can't balance a checkbook, i.e. do simple math?
You'd turn your business upside down for customers that can't follow simple logic, when the vast majority can? Especially when you didn't go out and FORCE these customers to come to you in the first place?
Join a credit union where I bet you can overdraft all the time and they won't charge you a single fee. OK.
I don't make a lot of money, I don't want to. I work for a bank and I have common sense. I don't whine about my financial state, and I have enough sense to have never paid an overdraft fee or ATM fee in over twenty-five years. I've only worked at a bank for six. I guess I'm a victim of the "big bad bank" too.
Crimson Italy-
Number one, I don't work for Regions.
Number two, I'd have to sit down, like you should have done, and take your beginning balance and then subtract your purchases, including those which were PENDING and hadn't posted yet. Most likely you had items pending which hadn't hard posted, and they subtracted from your available balance.
Again, just because your card worked, or you had checks in your wallet, you have to account for all your debits. That isn't the bank's job. THAT'S WHY THEY CHARGE YOU FEES.
Join a credit union!!
Bottom line:
Balance to cover your purchases = no fees
Balance insufficient to cover your purchases = fees
No bank is out there with a gun to your head to open an account. Keep your money in a cookie jar if you can't do the simple, elementary school math.
Bottom line:

No bank is out there with a gun to your head to open an account. Keep your money in a cookie jar if you can't do the simple, elementary school math.
Okay, first off, your larger banks have this process all computerized. Larger banks post from larger to smaller. The bottom line is... IF THE MONEY HAD BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE OVERDRAFTED YOUR ACCOUNT REGARDLESS OF THE POSTING ORDER.
I get angry with this argument because I am a banker...
I get fed up because being poor (which is ususally what the argument is about) is no excuse for being financially ignorant.
So sad.
Some people are of the opinion that just because their card works at the checkout lane, they must have money in the bank. Ignorance!
This goes back to education. There should be a "life skills" course in high school that goes over this sort of thing. Offer it free at libraries for the older population. I'll teach it!
Exactly, Speedy.
And by the way, I love Hoarders. I record every episode much to my husband's dismay. Intervention!!
Okay... so you're protesting being "manhandled" and possibly harrassed, by getting NEKKID??
Some screws loose up there.
I agree Khelben. I think we take things out of perspective and it's easy to blame "things" or addictions, such as drugs, drinking, video games... sex addiction, even! Addictions are real, but we have to change our focus.
Often times women get frustrated with men because they expect men to know what they are feeling, without telling them. Then women get angry because their expectations aren't met. Well duh. TALK. Communicate.
Men are infinately easier to deal with. Cut and dry.
And by the way, both my husband and I work full time jobs and are educated. My husband helps cook, he helps clean (poorly, but he HELPS), and he plays with the kids. When I'm exhausted, he gets up with them at night! *GASP*
Not all men are the deadbeats you claim them to be.
Okay, now you're just discussing the unfairness of the sexism and the roles in society, which is going WAY far out in left field...
I agree that it's unfair, but that's also life, and you should KNOW your spouse or sperm donor BEFORE you choose to have kids with this individual. How they treat you and how they will treat your future children, and what roles they themselves are going to take on when the kids are here. WHY IS THIS SO HARD??!
Why do we have to blame a video game? It did nothing to you, and is just an escape from reality. A cheap one, at that. Maybe you're just mad at your own situation...
I think it depends on the level of addiction like anything in life; for instance, is it getting in the way with your other relationships, are you about to lose your job because you'd rather sit home and play a game? Are you missing out on family functions?
To me, I love playing video games, as does my husband. We have two little ones and when they are awake and running around, we play with them. When they go to bed, my husband and I alternate nights to play on our XBox 360. I love watching him play games, it's like watching a movie sometimes.
We both have our hobbies outside the home, too.
If you get married and expect your husband to dwell on your existance 24/7, boo on you, and get over yourself. Go buy yourself another $300 pair of shoes. Ugh.
Exactly, R Mac.
I have said it before: I would happily pay more taxes, if I saw a decent return.
I can't be in the mentality to worry about other peoples kids. I know it sounds cold, and it probably is, but I think that when we start worring about other peoples problems, then we get into this kind of mess.
Where's personal responsibility? Whatever happened to the thought process BEFORE we have kids? Thinking about schooling, religion, social life, nutrition? Why do we push off this responsibility to the government and/or everyone else around us?
I agree with you, bpin.
My husband and I paid for both of our children to go to a private pre-school, which was actually more economical than a typical daycare, and we work with them both after dinner. My daughter could read, write, add and subtract before entering Kindergarten this past year. My son's still too young, but I'm sure he'll do just fine as well.
I fully believe that if parents actually cared enough about their own contributions to their kids' education, we may get somewhere. Instead, most parents want to push the responsibility off to the state or other government official.

This new web format is absolutely atrocious. The only reason I came back to it this one time is to let the paper-killers know how I feel. If this format is what we'll have to depend on for local news. we're in big trouble. I will be going to the television channels' websites. I will not put up with this.
By the way , I heard that someone offered to buy the TP and keep it going as a daily paper and that Advance told them emphatically "The Times-Picayune is not for sale". Why keep something that somebody else will pay you for, when all you want to do is trash it ? And , the customer base wants to keep it the way it is ,too. No wonder you're going under. You have no business sense.
Yeah , one of my pet peeves. It really bothers me when the content of their comment is something I agree with , then they don't know the difference between "they're" and "their" or "your" and "you're". And then, they go crazy with the apostrophes, It makes me think I'm on the wrong side , because I agree with the uneducated, But , then somebody from the other point of view makes all the same mistakes.
Missed Neil's Jazzfest show because I was in the hospital. So, the last time I saw him live was the 1984 World's Fair. Great show at the amphitheater right on the river. And , then he timed his closing song "Down By The River" to coincide with the fireworks show. And Green Day , I saw last at the Saints "homecoming" game in '06. That wasn't really a concert, but it was a memorable performance. So, I'm thinking I might have to check out Voodoo this year.
I agree that the penalties are harsh. But what kind of authority does the state legislature have over the NFL ? And , as previous comments have pointed out , we have a lot more serious problems in Louisiana for them to be working on. I'm sure the league office will have a good laugh at our expense over this nonsense.
Those gay rumors about Travolta have been around for years. The first suit seems like a shake-down , looking for a quick cash settlement to make the rumors go away. The second one claims to have witnesses and documentation , and might be believable if he wasn't represented by the same ambulance chaser as the first one.
One of he biggest problems is scheduling conflicts. I have many times watched half of one act's set , and hurried across the fairgrounds to catch half of somebody else's show. And that "hurrying" is getting more and more difficult , as the fest gets more and more crowded. Is it time to look for a bigger venue for the festival ?
Oh , I almost forgot to complain about the ever-increasing ticket prices. Even buying the advance tickets , by the time Ticketmaster gets done with you , it's still $56 a ticket. And there's the obscenely ridiculous rule that if you buy tickets for the first week-end and the second week-end at the same time , that counts as two separate transactions ( $5 extra charge) , even though , on your credit card , it's charged as one single transaction. And then there's an extra buck per ticket charged for paying with plastic.
I remember when they had their own ticket office at Municipal Auditorium , and advance tickets cost actually the face value that was printed on the tickets. That was at least $25 ago.
Ever seen the Stones live ? They were terrible live when they were in their prime. Now that they're in their late sixties, I couldn't imagine how they could possibly have gotten better. Want to see Madonna ? She'll be at the Arena in a couple of months. Does Bowie even perform anymore ?
As for the local acts , here's a hint : it's in the name of the festival. The local acts are for the visitors. We can see most of them every week or so at a club. Jazzfest is the highlight of the year for some of the lesser-known local musicians,even though they have more talent than the big pop stars , some of whom arguably should never be booked at a roots-music event like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
I was still in exile in NC at the time , so I missed it. I've seen a lot of video highlights of that show and I'm disappointed I wasn't there. But , one week from today , I will be there.
A couple of requests : Dedicated to Sean Payton and company; "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City". To everybody ; that soulful accoustic version of the original hymn, "When the Saints Go Marching In".
Then rock out with some greatest hits and play lots of stuff from the new "Wrecking Ball" album.
I still don't see Professor Longhair on that list. Neither is the late,great "Tan Canary", Johnny Adams. But, I would love to see Wynton Marsalis jamming with a hologram of Louis Armstrong. That would be jaw-dropping.
Zydeco is not "naturally N'Awlins" (by the way NOBODY actually from here says N'Awlins). Zydeco is a Cajun style of music imported from the southwestern part of the state.
I do like Pelicans , though , but I don't know who might own the rights to New Orleans Pelicans. Before the Zephyrs , someone tried to bring back the Pelicans around the late 70's or early 80s. They played in the dome of all places.
I live in Orleans where a brake tag is $27. It sounds a whole lot more expensive to pay $54 at one time , even though the sticker will be good for two years. I wonder how many people will claim it's a financial hardship for the poor to shell out over 50 bucks for a brake tag.
Actually , what they do is revoke your registration. $50 each month you go without insurance to get it reinstated, up to the maximum of $225.
When I was exiled in North Carolina after Katrina , I learned that in that state you have to put your car in the shop for at least a day, where a certified mechanic does a 36-point inspection before you can get an inspection sticker. I didn't have to do so in the time I was there , so I don't know how much it costs , but I'm sure it's more than $10.
The Louisiana state legislature has no jurisdiction over what the NFL does at its New York headquarters. The U.S. Congress can have a say because , they have the right to regulate the league because of the federal anti-trust exemption they grant the NFL and other sports leagues.
That's true. The players have the union behind them and the union lawyers scoffed at the charges, saying there is no evidence that any player participated in the bounty scandal no matter what GW said on that tape. The coaches have no union behind them and the commissiomer's office won't say what , if any evidence they have against Payton , Vitt and Loomis.
While the things Williams said on that tape are pretty damning , there's no proof that Payton and Loomis knew about that meeting. The e-mail that the league mentioned where Payton said the league was investigating , so "we need to make sure all our ducks are in a row" could be seen as a warning to the defense that they should no longer be conducting a bounty system , rather than as a cue to hide what they were doing, as Goodell suggested.
A friend was just this afternoon talking about what @$$holes LSU fans are. You have proved him right.
Yeah. We could call them the "turds" for short.
Milwaukee already has an NBA team named the Bucks.
Nobody could spell it. But I would like to hear the national sports reporters try to pronounce it.

HOUSTON (AP) - Collin McHugh allowed two hits over 8 2-3 stellar innings as the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Sunday.
McHugh (2-0) followed up his first outing where he struck out 12 and allowed three hits in 6 2-3 innings at Seattle on Tuesday with another dominant performance.
He struck out seven and walked three, allowing one run in the longest outing of his career. His previous longest outing had been seven innings on Aug. 23, 2012 against Colorado when he was a member of the New York Mets.
After the first, McHugh retired 23 of the next 24 batters, including 19 straight before Brandon Moss was hit by a pitch with two outs in the ninth. Moss stole second and came around to score on Alberto Callaspo's single - McHugh's first run allowed in 15 1-3 innings this season.
Tommy Milone (0-2) took the loss.

What science crewmen? The EMH & Wildman were two of the few "blue" suits we saw on Voyager. Voyagers crew was all gold or red suits because the ship was for scouting & combat, not science exploration.
Where do you think the Delaney sisters worked? They were assigned to Stellar Cartography.
We saw at least a dozen blue shirts - they must have worked somewhere, even if it was a shared lab.
In fact, screencaps from Demon show that blue shirts make up at least a third of the crew.
A dozen?
12 blue shirts out of a crew of 150 and that's supposed to tip the scales? The major majority of the crew were still gold & red uniforms, still making the minority blue uniforms.

Email Marketing Usage Continues to Grow
Why is the use of professional email newsletters and email marketing continuing to grow at such high rates? Reducing marketing costs seems to be a key motivator among many professional service firms. Email marketing remains one of the most cost-effective and far-reaching tools available for firms to market their services to prospects and maintain touch points with existing clients. As cost-cutting continues to factor into business practices in a recovery economy, more marketers are looking to stretch budgets and get more impact for dollars spent.
The following is an executive summary from the Forrester report, US Email Marketing Forecast, 2009 To 2014:
"Email adoption and use by consumers and businesses alike remain strong, with 153 million online adults regularly using email by 2014. Social inbox users will total 47 million in 2014, but will ultimately level off based on the blurring lines of the 'traditional' versus the 'social' inbox. Marketing messages to the primary inbox will swell to an average of more than 9,000 annually in 2014, with retention email making up the largest permission-based share. Email marketing spend will balloon to $2 billion in 2014 with retention email, services, and ad-sponsored acquisition newsletters all representing bright spots. Innovative marketers will rapidly adopt relevancy-empowering tactics to cut through the clutter and avoid wasting $144 million dollars in 2014 on email marketing that never reaches the intended subscriber inbox because of erroneous blocking."
The Social Inbox Versus the Traditional Inbox
While the email universe continues to grow and evolve, marketers adjust their strategies, hone their skills and focus their efforts in order to maximize reach and effectiveness. Integrating email with other digital channels, such as social media, appears to be the key for continued success. Despite the hullabaloo about social media, recent industry research indicates that email marketing remains one of the most effective tools for marketers.
How effective is it? Effective enough that it been identified as the top area of marketing investment for 2013 (The Wall Street Journal "MarketWatch" – December 2012). According to a survey completed by over 1,000 business leaders, 9 out of 10 business owners plan to increase or maintain marketing budgets this year. Two-thirds of businesses plan to integrate social media and email, with 46% of participants planning to increase their investment in email marketing in order to drive growth of their corporate social media channels (StrongMail "2013 Marketing Trends Survey" – November 2012).
Among business professionals at the user-end who employ both email and social communications to gather information and keep in touch with contacts, many users are routing their social messages and notifications to a frequently monitored business or personal email inbox as a means of consolidating multiple communication channels. Email remains the preferred communication channel for professionals, and this makes the email inbox the ideal place for firms to connect with clients and prospects.
Getting Noticed in the Inbox
Successful client email newsletters will clearly show that the communication is coming from your firm or business. If your clients see your messages as being sent from their trusted business advisor, they will be more inclined to open it. Another key factor in successfully engaging clients and prospects in the inbox is to deliver well-written, relevant, useful content to your recipients. A strong email communications program will allow you to send targeted content to each of your firm's unique contact groups, industries or subsets.
Creating a Dialogue in the Inbox
The final piece of the puzzle is feedback. Email marketing creates opportunities for your subscribers to respond to your messaging and share your content on their social channels. Email marketing metrics also give you a sense of what people are reading. The better email marketing platforms offer detailed statistics to clearly show what content is effective in your messaging, what is not, who is interested and what interests them. These tools help firms pinpoint additional new business and add-on sales opportunities, and they also open a door to in-person conversations based on perceived need.
Evaluating Your Resources
Professionals have many choices when it comes to budgeting and spending their marketing dollars. Although email marketing continues to excel at delivering trackable opportunities and solid ROI results, take time to determine where you stand, in marketing terms, within your current tools and strategies. The process of evaluating your existing marketing resources can seem like a time-consuming endeavor, but knowing where you stand will help you make informed decisions that move your business growth efforts forward.
Accounting firm marketers should continually seek to benchmark their email marketing metrics against industry standards. What is an average open rate? What click through rate should you strive for? How do your metrics stack up against others in the accounting industry? What can you do to improve your results? You can find out how your CPA firm stacks up in our 2013 Email Marketing Benchmark Report: CPA Firm Email Marketing Trends & Statistics. This report is designed to help you understand which metrics you should be analyzing, which goals you can set based on other firms like yours, and how your email program is performing overall. We encourage you to gauge your email marketing success not solely on how well you measure up to the statistics provided in this report, but also on how well you provided value to your own clients and prospects, building relationships over time and maximizing conversions and revenue through your email marketing campaigns.

NEW YORK (AP) - Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has a
book deal.
The Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group announced Tuesday that
Gates had agreed to two books, a memoir and a work on leadership.
The memoir, currently untitled, is tentatively scheduled for 2013.
The 67-year-old Gates stepped down July 1 after serving as
defense secretary for four-and-a-half years, first under Republican
George W. Bush and then under Democrat Barack Obama.
He presided over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and was
involved in such key decisions as the repeal of the "don't ask,
don't tell" policy for gays in the military.

The best way to get back to the big game again is to let the front office do their jobs. They've gotten to 2 NFC hampionship games and a Superbowl in four years. LET THEM DO WHAT THEY DO BEST.
Peppers is not worth a maximum contract. You never know what you will get with him. You might get 3 sacks in one game and won't get anything in the next three games. He doesnt take plays off, he takes games off.
Southforever, you are a first class fool. Everyone who lives in the city knows about what problems we have. The Saints winning isnt about making anything go away. Its about being a long time fan and wanting to see the team you grew up cheering for win the big one. Its about remembering your relatives that were die hard fans that are no longer with us.
If you really want to complain about education at the very least you should learn to spell correctly.
I am actually glad that they lost this game. If they would've pulled out the win with the uninspired play they showed today, they would'nt have learned anything. If anything they now know nothing is handed to them and anyone can be beat on any given day.
Everyone is entitled to express their opinions. Even if they are heartless and stupid. My condolences to Drew and his family.
He is a guy that can help the back end guys learn Williams' system.
What are they talking about? DB's do on field drills on Tuesday not Monday. DL and LB's go on Monday.
Why not do it?What has TC given the team this season? He's averaging 8 points and 8 rebounds. But, the best of all in trading him is his enormous contract would be gone. Allowing the team to actually attempt to bring in some free agents.
Deuce has been a class act not only on the field but off of it as well. I hope he can continue his career with another team that the Saints dont have to face anytime soon.
Everyone get ready because the cuts will continue Mike Mckenzie and Brian Young get ready. You're standing on the tracks and the train is coming.
nolahomie, do you know this man personally? Unless you know him, how can you decide that he is automatically a thug? I am reserving judgement on this young man until we know more. I feel for his family and friends.
You obviously didnt see the way Tampa completely dominated Carolina. If Tampa wouldnt have played musical QB's they would be the team to beat in the NFC South. I actually hate Tampa more than Atlanta, but the truth is the truth.
Hey csemien, what is your problem? You say we have a hatred for Devery, but I dont see it that way. As a WR, you are paid to catch the ball. Not to drop the routine passes and only catch the spectacular passes. If they can find someone who is more consistent, then why not. Yes our defense was horrible, but we had no pass rush and our secondary stunk. If I remember correctly didnt the Saints add a potential difference maker on D on every level. From now on maybe you should stay quiet and not share your idiotic beliefs with anyone else.
