Is Hazel E Dating Tom Hanks' Son Chet?
Well, it certainly is a small world. And yes you read that headline correctly. I'd heard about Hazel possibly dating Tom Hanks' son a while a few weeks ago and I brushed it off because…I mean that just sounds wrong.
But there may be some truth to it.
When you hear Tom Hanks' son you probably thought of his eldest Colin. But Tom Hanks has three sons and a daughter. The son we're speaking of today is Chet. Chet, 24, isn't exactly following in his father's footsteps. Instead, he's pursuing a rap career. Which better explains how he and Hazel managed to cross paths.
Anyway, yesterday she made him her #ManCrushMonday.
And Chet responded to the praise, saying:
You know exactly how to treat a man I'm very lucky to have you in my life #andyousexyaf 😉
Hazel says he's been real since day one and calls him her partner in crime.
Sounds nice right. Like they might have a little budding romance going on. But that might not be the case. When Hazel first posted the picture, Chet responded with something completely different than what he wrote later. The initial response, quite frankly, sounds like a line Yung Berg would hit her with.
Here's what he originally wrote:
Good friends, ehh?
He quickly deleted the comment but the delete button is no match for a screenshot. Chet has posted images of himself and Hazel before but he usually refers to her as "the homie."
When the blogs picked up the image of him and Hazel walking down the street, he wrote:
All of this kind of makes me think that Chet wouldn't mind a spot on "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood." It's kind of the perfect fit right? He could pretend date Hazel (Love). He's a rapper (Hip Hop). And is the son of one of the most bankable actors of our time (Hollywood).
I'm not going to lie, going through his Instagram page, the dude seems slightly entertaining. And it would be interesting to see what type of dynamic he'd bring to the show.
A Rags To Riches Hollywood Story? Barkhad Abdi & The Cost Of Being An Actor
Actors seem so glamorous. People know your name, who you are dating, and what your next projects are going to be by the click of one button. You get to wear expensive clothing, travel around the world, and eat at the finest, most exclusive restaurants. By all appearances, actors who gain some manner of celebrity are also doing well financially. But that's not always the case.
Somali actor Barkhad Abdi recently had his name has been splashed in magazines, newspapers and websites, not just because he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his role in Captain Phillips, but also because we found out in The New Yorker that he made $65,000 for the job. Not exactly the figure that you would imagine for a big-budget Hollywood film. The production budget for Captain Phillips was $55 million. Other jobs in which one can make $65K are a registered nurse, a personal financial adviser, a microbiologist, and an orthotist. And that was two years ago.
Now, Abdi lives in Hollywood, broke and struggling alongside scores of other actors who have not been nominated for any prestigious industry awards, much less, for an Oscar. Abdi's story is a vital fiscal lesson for many who have ever thought about making their love for the arts into fulfilling, paying jobs. When you're an actor just starting out, there will be months of making payments for headshots, classes, industry workshops, and other career-building duties. If you are lucky enough to have an agent and/or manager and get a paying gig, 10 percent will go to your agent(s), and 10 to 20 percent maximum to your manager. If you are even luckier to advance your career and become a member of SAG-AFTRA performer's union, you will have to pay a membership initiation fee of $3,000 (which can be loaned), an annual base membership fee of $198, and 1.575 percent of all individual earnings under SAG or AFTRA contracts between $1-$500,000. Once you are a SAG-AFTRA member, you can earn a minimum rate of $490 to 609.50 per day, and if you are working on a weekly basis, $1,721.50 to $2,131.50 a week, versus non-union talent who earn much less.
Normally, when you move up to Oscar-, Emmy-, or Tony-nominated territory, there are also more people on an actor's payroll: publicists, lawyers, makeup artists and stylists. Even while they may be gifted with the swankiest designer clothes, shoes, and jewelry, many times these are on loan, so they are expected to give it back.
True enough, once you get to high-profile status, you can command a king's ransom for your participation in a movie. Sandra Bullock was reportedly paid $70 million for her role in Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity; a base of $20 million and then a smartly negotiated 15 percent cut of box office sales. Tom Hanks, who has one of the most glittering careers in show business today, took a pay cut for Captain Phillips, with rumors that he settled for $10 million.
Obviously, Abdi, being a Hollywood industry newcomer, cannot be compared to Tom Hanks, in terms of bankability. Captain Phillips is his first feature role, and, picked out of tons of people who came to a casting call, his is a true Cinderella story. But, now he's in a precarious time of his new acting career where he has to think about next steps and longevity, so one day he too can command more money like Bullock and Hanks. Yes, even Oscar-nominated stars have to think about longevity. But Abdi also must realize that the pickings for being cast in another movie or even a TV show are slim when you consider the tons of people who are also in the running.
With any luck, and more sweat, we'll see Abdi on screen again in the near future. He has already started his acting career with a bigger bang than most other actors could ever dream of. The question is whether this was lightning in a bottle or the beginning of a long career. If he can ultimately achieve not just the name recognition, but the A-list power of players like Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, Abdi can look back at this time of economic instability and laugh about it. At this point, like Abdi, we can only wait and hope that he does not become another Hollywood one-hit film wonder.
Mixing A Little Bi'ness With A Lot Of Pleasure: Celeb Couples Who Met On Set
A budding relationship can start to grow anywhere but more often than not a relationship will bloom at work. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie weren't the only celebrities to fall in love at work and they won't be the last. Here are 15 stars who hooked up with their co-workers when the camera lights went off.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston starred in the box office bomb The Experts back in 1987 but unfortunately Preston was married at the time. Her marriage ended a year later but it wasn't until her relationship with actor Charlie Sheen ended that Travolta finally had the chance to snag his leading lady. The couple wed in 1991. Their marriage experienced hardship when their 16-year-old son Jett passed away in 2009. Travolta and Preston have two other children together.

Celebrity Grandparents We Love!
They may be known for working the runway, smiling for the camera or performing for millions of fans, but when these 15 celebrities wipe off the make-up and step away from the flashing lights, they are simply known as 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa.'
In addition to being a reality television star, NeNe Leakes has added two primetime shows to her resume but is now prepared for another big role in her life: grandmother. Leakes' oldest son Bryson welcomed baby girl Bri'asia in mid-June of 2012 giving the mother of two a granddaughter to play dress-up with. The "New Normal" star said, "I always wanted to have a girl and now I have one! She's just adorable. Forty is the new 30. I'm a sassy, fashion-forward grandma!"
Denzel Takes Flight: Denzel Washington Named America´s Favorite Movie Star
It's been four years since Denzel Washington was recognized America's Favorite Movie Star. Now the Oscar nominee has reclaimed that title.
In a Harris Poll, conducted online within the United States between December 12 and December 18, 2012 among 2,141 adults (ages 18 and over), Washington was named the Favorite Movie Star, and surprisingly Clint Eastwood, despite his embarrassing "Obama chair" incident at the Republican National Convention (or because of it?), came in next place, for the second year in a row. Tom Hanks took the number three slot.
Rounding out the top ten list were, according to a press release: Johnny Depp, who fell from number one to a tie for number four; Brad Pitt, shares the fourth spot (unbelievably he has not been on the top ten list since 1998); the late John Wayne is on the list, this year dropping one spot to number six; George Clooney, who goes from number six to number seven; Harrison Ford remains in the number eight spot; Meryl Streep makes this list at number nine; and Matt Damon is number 10 (his first time on the list was in a tie for the seventh spot in 2007).
Sandra Bullock, Will Smith, and Adam Sandler all dropped off the top ten this year.
When breaking down the stats, men favored Clint Eastwood, and women still love Denzel Washington. "Echo Boomers (those ages 18 and 35) and Baby Boomers (ages 48 to 66) agree on Washington as their favorite actor. For Gen Xers (ages 36 to -47) the number one spot is a tie between Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. John Wayne is the favorite among Matures (those ages 67 and older), says the release.
And, Eastwood is the favorite for Republicans and conservatives, while Washington is the favorite for Democrats, liberals — and moderates. Independents picked Tom Hanks as their favorite.
Do you agree with the poll?
Thank You, But No Thank You: 14 Actors That Passed On Leading Roles
From StyleBlazer
For some actors, being given the chance to star in a film is the dream of a lifetime, though some actors have had the opportunity to play a lead role in a movie and declined the offer. Here are 14 actors who were offered a lead role but said "no thanks!"
Gender Benders: 8 Actors Who Play Gay But Are Actually Straight (and Vice Versa)
Of course there's no cookie cutter profile of a hetero or homosexual, so celebs are often cast into a role regardless of their real-life orientation. After all, it is called acting. Here we take a look at eight actors who have played gay characters but are really straight and vice versa.
1. Tom Hanks in Philadelphia
In probably one of the most notable "straight playing gay" roles, Hanks expertly played Andrew Beckett in this Academy Award winning role. Tom even lost 30 pounds and thinned his hair out to portray the gay lawyer dying of AIDS who sues his firm for discrimination.
Check out the other 7 actors on StyleBlazer.com.

Stars Show Up and Show Out for Oprah's Farewell
Oprah filmed two of her final three episodes yesterday at the United Center in Chicago. If you were expecting grand that's what precisely what you'll get. The last two episodes were literally jam-packed with celebrities all to celebrate Lady O in her final season. Oprah's leaving her enormously popular talk show, after 25 years, to devote her attention to the OWN network. Can you believe she's been on air for a quarter of a century?Amazing.
Anyway, the final two episodes included performances from Beyoncé, Usher, Stevie Wonder and Patti Labelle among others.
Athletes Emmitt Smith and Michael Jordan were in attendance. There were also several actors in the place to be including, Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, Halle Berry, Will and Jada and Tom Cruise were there as well. (No surprise that Tom would make it back around, considering he used Oprah's couch as a trampoline.)
The performances will air on May 23 and the final episode on May 25.
This should make for really good television. Are you excited to watch?

Wicked Autumn: A Max Tudor Novel
Title: Wicked Autumn: A Max Tudor Novel
Author: G.M. Malliet
KDL Description:
His tranquility as the established vicar of a New Age village shattered by the murder of an unpopular woman, former MI5 agent Max Tudor struggles with past demons while trying to identify a killer in his peaceful community.
Amazon Description:
What could be more dangerous than cozy village life in the English countryside?
Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. Now he has found a measure of peace among urban escapees and yoga practitioners, artists and crafters and New Agers. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.
Max has ministered to the community long enough to be familiar with the tangled alliances and animosities among the residents, but this tragedy surprises and confounds him. It is impossible to believe anyone in his lovely village capable of the crime, and yet given the victim, he must acknowledge that almost everyone had probably fantasized about killing Wanda Batton-Smythe.
As the investigation unfolds, Max becomes more intricately involved. Memories he'd rather not revisit are stirred, evoking the demons from the past which led him to Nether Monkslip. In WICKED AUTUMN, G.M. Malliet serves up an irresistible English village—deliciously skewered—a flawed but likeable protagonist, and a brilliantly modern version of the traditional drawing room mystery.

The dynamics of interactions between species depend on environmental and historical context. I am interested in understanding how and why the costs and benefits of mutually beneficial interactions between species vary with context and what the consequences of this variation are for ecosystems and coevolutionary processes.
Symbiotic ant-plant mutualisms, in which plants provide cavities and food for nesting ants and ants defend plants against herbivores, are wonderful systems for investigating variation in costs and benefits of mutualism. Much of my work in this area has focused on a specialized, symbiotic mutualism among the Neotropical tree Cordia alliodora, Azteca ants, and phloem-feeding scale insects. This system is widely distributed across tropical Latin America and is particularly common in seasonally dry tropical forests in Western Mexico and Central America. I have studied the effects of scale insects, ontogeny, geography, and population history on the interaction, and I am now working on the role of nutrient exchange among partners in generating variation in interaction outcomes, and on the consequences of such variation for the surrounding community.
Macroecology - (EEB 401/NRE 501) - 3 credits - Monday/Wedesday 2:30 - 4 p.m.
Prerequisites: Intro Biology, Ecology, Intro Statistics
Course description: What are the global patterns in ecology, what fundamental processes generate these patterns, and can we use macroecological pattern and process to design effective conservation
strategies? In this course, we will explicitly consider the "big picture" in ecology by examining proposed ecological patterns at large spatial scales and across taxonomic groups. We will then consider the processes that drive these large-scale patterns and the current methodological approaches used to study them. Finally, we will examine whether we can effectively apply our understanding of macroecology to conservation design and utilize GIS-based methods to put these concepts into practice. An emphasis will be placed on the process of ecological research through the discussion of primary literature and critical examination of proposed patterns and the hypotheses proposed to explain them.

Definition and propositions
On the contrary, sudden dejection is the passion that causeth weeping; and is caused by such accidents as suddenly take away some vehement hope, or some prop of their power: and they are most subject to it that rely principally on helps external, such as are women and children. Therefore, some weep for the loss of friends; others for their unkindness; others for the sudden stop made to their thoughts of revenge, by reconciliation. But in all cases, both laughter and weeping are sudden motions, custom taking them both away. For no man laughs at old jests, or weeps for an old calamity.

EXCLUSIVE: Grandfather whose heart saved four babies' lives is honoured
Posted: December 25, 2013|
FOUR children – all under the age of 18 months – have been given the greatest gift possible for the new year after the donated heart of a Sutton grandfather was used to save their lives.
Colin Noon, from Banners Gate, made the courageous decision to donate his organs in the event of his death.
Now that multiple life-saving decision has earned him much-deserved recognition after he was posthumously honoured with a new award created by the Order of St John alongside NHS Blood and Transplant.
His brave wife, Jean, collected the award on her husband's behalf from Paul Sabapathy, Lord-Lieutenant of the West Midlands, and Timothy Cox, Lord-Lieutenant of Warwickshire, at a special presentation ceremony held at Villa Park.
Speaking to the Observer, Jean said: "I feel very proud; Colin was a lovely person and who spent his whole life helping people. I'm even more proud that he's still helping people and it's so nice that he's now getting some sort of recognition."
The 69-year-old grandmother lost her husband after he suffered a sudden brain haemorrhage last year aged 68, leaving behind his daughter Lisa, son Michael and granddaughters Keeleigh and Erin.
Colin's heart was divided into four patches which were transplanted into four babies. He also donated his corneas and both kidneys.
Jean, who had been married to Colin for 43 years, said: "He used to carry a donor card years ago. But then his uncle donated his whole body to medical research several years ago and Colin had a lot of admiration for that. So there was no hesitation in donating his organs."
A retired commercial vehicle builder, Colin had felt unwell following a caravan holiday with his wife over the Easter holidays.
"He was absolutely fine on the drive home from Evesham but then he said he had an upset tummy and felt a bit cold and a bit dizzy," Jean explained. "I called an ambulance, even though he said he didn't want any fuss, and he was talking to us on the way to hospital. I said 'I will see you in a minute', but that was the last time I spoke to him.
"They took him to intensive care but they said it was inoperable and he sadly died without regaining consciousness."
Jean and her family were one of more than 30 from across the West Midlands to be presented with the Order of St John Award for Organ Donation.
A former chairman of the British Leyland Camping and Caravan Association who had been connected to the group for nearly 30 years, Colin's fellow members have since signed up as organ donors following his tragic death.
Continued on page 3
From the front page
Reverend John Davis, from the Order of St John, said: "With thousands of people in the UK in need of a transplant, we felt it was important to say thank you to the families whose loved ones have already donated their organs.
"They are an inspiration to all. With around three people dying every day due to the shortage of organs, we hope these families' pride will encourage many more to follow in their footsteps and agree to become an organ donor."
Between April 2012 and March 2013, the families of 1,212 people in the UK agreed to donate their loved ones' organs, saving or transforming thousands of patients' lives.
Sally Johnson, director of organ donation and transplantation at NHS Blood and Transplant, said: "Losing a loved one is devastating to family and friends. We hope receiving this new award will mean a great deal to those who have lost someone close to them and also give them renewed pride in their decision to agree to donation. The decision to donate their organs is an amazing legacy.
"Having a conversation about organ donation is vitally important as we know that making a decision to donate a loved one's organs is so much easier if you know what their wishes were. We would urge people to have that conversation with people close to them and record their intention to donate on the NHS organ donor register."

Let's face it, the holidays are upon us and it means one (of many) things: mandatory Christmas-themed movie watching. Whether it's with your family, a bunch of your girlfriends, or you alone with a glass of wine (we've all been there), inevitably you're going to watch some sort of holiday film. Once you resign yourself to that fact, it's just a matter of picking out the right movie… depending on your mood!
Sure, it seems like an obvious choice to go for a classic, like White Christmas, but that film has its limits. There's no action for the fanboys in all of us. That's why Die Hard is a solid choice for some ass-kicking Christmas action. Or if it's a wine-for-my-sorrows kind of night, then it's The Family Stone for you. Just be careful not to go off into the deep end. That's a serious buzzkill movie.
Whatever your mood leading up to Christmas, there's something here for you. Just scroll through the gallery until you find one that fits your fancy.

(ABC 6 News) -- Several months after losing their daughter in a texting and driving crash, a local family is once again experiencing hardship.
Dejanerah "Deej" Logan died less than eight months ago and Tuesday we've learned the Logan workshop near Pine Island was destroyed in a fire.
The woodworking shop that went up in flames was part of Logan Furniture in Rochester.
The fire happened just before 10 a.m. Tuesday morning in Dodge County.
Dodge County Fire Department says the shop is a total loss.
ABC 6 News spoke with a family friend -- who is organizing a fundraiser to set up a scholarship in "Deej's" name -- about how the family is doing during this difficult time.
"You just hate to see something like this happen to any family, but this is a family we know and it's very devastating not only to their family but to the entire community," says Bob Eustice.
If you would like to make a donation, they also have a bank account set up for the family at Security Bank in Byron.
The fundraiser is on May 5th.

COLUMBIA CITY — Many fathers enjoy going out to the backyard and tossing around a baseball or going to the gym to shoot hoops.
But for Whitko Head Coach Rob Irwin and Columbia City Head Coach Chris Benedict, its drastically different.
Both Benedict and Irwin are coaching stand-out players — who also happen to be their sons.
While many players face the typical suggestions from their fathers, Drew Benedict and Logan Irwin get quite a bit more.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We speak with Elliot Eisenberg, GraphsandLaughs.com
Looking ahead at the 2014, the economic news is pretty solid. The US economy is on the mend, the labor market is healing and house prices are up about 12% from year-ago levels. In addition, the Eurozone is working its way out recession, and the U.K. is once again growing as is Japan and China looks to enjoy steady if unspectacular growth. Closer to home DC budget brinksmanship is over at least till 2015, car and light-truck sales along with consumer sentiment are rising, and new home construction continues its painfully slow but steady ascent.
With all this in mind, I expect 2014 GDP to come it at about 2.65%, substantially higher than the 1.9% in 2013. As for housing starts, in 2014 they should, for the first time in years, exceed a million units (seasonally adjusted and annualized) with single family starts coming in at no less than 750,000 units and multifamily starts reaching a pace of about 375,000.
Inflation will remain benign. The combination of lackluster global growth, flat to declining energy and commodity prices, and mildly rising food prices will keep CPI growth slightly below 2%, as food prices look poised to rise more rapidly in 2014 than they did last year. Moreover, the combination of tiny rises in import prices, and anemic wage growth means that personal consumption expenditure inflation, the Feds preferred inflation measure, will likely be about 1.5% this year and while that is above the 1% rate of 2013, it gives the Federal Reserve ample room to keep short term interest low for the foreseeable future.
As for jobs, given the improving labor market and expected net new monthly jobs gains of close to 200,000 per month, the unemployment rate at the end of the year will be about 6.3%. As a result of these good trends I expect Chairman Bernanke, incoming Chairwoman Yellen and the rest of the voting members of the interest rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee to begin reducing their monthly purchases of $85 billion/month in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities sometime in early 2014, most likely in March.
While this reduction will probably begin in $5 or $10 billion increments, I expect the size of the reductions to grow as 2014 unfolds such that by the end of the year Fed purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities are a thing of the past. As a result of the end of Quantitative Easing and faster GDP growth, 30-year mortgage rates will probably hit or come very close to hitting 5% by year end. But not to worry as a combination of easing credit market conditions, increases in consumer spending, slightly rising exports and fiscal certainty in Washington will keep the economy growing despite the mild rise in interest rates. That is, given decent GDP growth the rate rise will not be growth-sapping. Lastly, I put the chances of a new recession at no more than 10%. So, look forward to steady improvement in 2014 and fear not the rise in interest rates.

Re: Wynton Marsalis
I don't think we are completely at odds on this point, we are not exactly debating known facts here, I'm not saying you're wrong, the difference is, you care quite intensely over it, jazz is a secondary interest for me musically, it was part of my education but I don't live and breathe it.
While you really dislike the guy, I am merely ambivalent, but I know that
enjoy listening to a lot of what he makes
, original or not, I enjoy it. I'm not sticking up for him as an educator, I'm not debating any of the issues you've brought forward in this thread, frankly I'm out of my depths trying to argue this even if I wanted to as I am not versed enough in jazz society. If we were debating Bathory's importance in early 90's extreme metal it would be another matter, but we are not.
Thank you for the compliments, I respect your opinion and viewpoint, this is obviously one can of worms I never should have opened.

Blood on the Fields
is really good. Ellington was a great composer.
1. I hear
Who Can I Turn To?
I hear the Miles solo often note for note. When he plays Armstrong's
I hear the Armstrong solo note for note from the famous 1931 film. Close to entire solos from his second album were lifted Freddie Hubbard solos from
Blues and the Abstract Truth
. No I am absolutely without a shadow of a doubt not wrong to say that he doesn't innovate. He doesn't...that's it. These things are beyond debate.
2. No one said that paying homage was not important. In fact it is part of the historical referencing issue. I said that you don't get to claim the savior gimmick when you're not an innovator because in jazz individual innovation reigns supreme. And on that score maybe I was not clear enough. Genres are a different ballgame seeing as how there are many ways to individually innovate within a chosen genre. But no, talented mockingbirds don't get to be head dog. In fact this is the very first time anyone was even arrogant enough to pull this one. Your
homage to the music
reference is also a tough defense to sell. Are you aware that he sends minions to educational organizations to strong arm guys into altering textbooks and teaching strategies? You actually have a guy trying to force feed the jazz historical canon on the next 1000 years of history, while Stanley Crouch and Albert Murray hand him talking points. It's sheer nonsense.
3. You can't ignore the controversy when he's the guy bringing it to the table. But he loves it when intelligent well meaning guys like yourself say
I leave the controversy out of it.
It makes his job a lot easier.
Re: your last question...No but at least one to handful have to be. Re: your first question see above. And avant garde was never brought into this discussion, nor does playing such music make one a trend setter or an innovator.
I never said his classical work was bad. In fact I think his playing of the Hummel from that first album is excellent. But what music are you saying was created there? I thought the
Hummel Trumpet Concerto
was composed by Hummel. Now if you're saying his improvisations tell a story, then yes I will agree with you. Freddie Hubbard was a great trumpeter, making him an excellent person to copy. but again those ideas belong to Hubbard, not the guy copying him. And it's too bad he no longer plays classical music. But when he walked away from that Bach Strad and started using those goofy French trumpets with the mouthpiece already built in, even most of his most diehard disciples will admit that a lot of that celebrated tone of his went with it.
Man this Marsalis thing is the most polarizing thing that's probably hit music since Beethoven brought the extra notes back. You're either on one side or the other. And yes I know that in this bizarre historical period when all opinions are equal and there is no good/bad or right /wrong people don't like to take a stand. But when it comes to this guy, when you stand in the middle of the road, the only thing that happens is you get hit by a truck. He punks the real educators and historians while his goofy yes men try to run you off any jazz forum where you dare offer this very popular perspective. I watched Jazz at Lincoln Center employees pretend to be unafilated objective Marsalis enthusiasts on jazzcorner forum for years. This is really an issue much deeper than you imagine.
Before I finish Frost, let me say one thing. I just stated a philosophical viewpoint close to universally shared by a huge number of the greatest jazz musicians. And for the record, I often view the intransigence of jazz criticism and the musician culture harsh. For this reason I also try to embrace a number of genres outside of jazz because to be honest with you I often need a break from the tension of it all. but when it comes to this Wynton M. thing I
see the issue, and I hope I succeeded in explaining myself fully.
I think you're a very intelligent guy and an interesting read. But on this one thing we're going to have to stand in another place. Some things are beyond consensus and this is one of them.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York would like to thank the City University of New York and Borough of Manhattan Community College for hosting the 2014 student orientation.
First round
Semi-final round
All rules and procedures for the semi-final round are the same as the first round with one exception: Teams must bring two copies of their handouts.
Final round
All rules and procedures for the final round are the same as the first round with one exception: The final round will not include any formal presentation. Teams will be judged exclusively on their performance during a 30 minutes Q&A session.
The winning team will be invited to the National College Fed Challenge at the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C.
In order to foster an efficient and respectful environment to successfully participate in the College Fed Challenge, students, faculty advisors, and judges are reminded of the following:
A team consists of three to five students, who all attend the same college or university. A team can be put together in a number of ways:
Other class members can get involved by taking part in team activities such as:
How are competition dates selected?
Dates are chosen based on the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut academic calendars. Once tentative dates are selected, the New York Fed staff notifies last year's advisors by e-mail and posts the schedule on the Fed's public website.
How many competition dates are there?
There is one preliminary competition day and one semi-final/final day. The semi-final and final competitions are held on one day, with the semi-final round taking place in the morning and the finals in the afternoon.
What are brackets?
A bracket is a group of teams that compete against each other in a competition round. All the teams in a bracket face the same judges and compete in the same room. The winner of each bracket moves on to the next round of competition. The preliminary round of the Fed Challenge can include as many as 9 brackets, each with up to four teams. The semi-final round has 3 brackets, each with three teams. Three teams compete in the final round.
How are teams assigned to brackets and preliminary competition dates?
Teams are assigned at random to brackets. Under extenuating circumstances, the New York Fed may assign a team to compete at a specific preliminary competition time. This accommodation, however, is not guaranteed.
Who are the competition judges and how are they assigned to brackets?
Judges consist of New York Fed economists and staff who are experts on economics and monetary policy. Judging teams are assigned at random to the brackets.
What happens if a judge knows one of the team participants or can identify the team?
Although we make every effort to keep team identities secret (and teams that identify their school have points deducted from their score), sometimes a judge realizes in the midst of competition that he or she knows the team or students.
The College Fed Challenge handles this through an honor system. Judges are on their honor to judge fairly and impartially. If a judge believes he/she cannot be impartial, this is reported to the head judge as soon as possible. The head judge makes the final decision; the judge with the conflict can either continue if he/she can be impartial; otherwise leave the room. The head judge may choose to consult Fed Challenge staff but his/her decision is final. The head judge will announce that the departing judge will not be participating further.
Teams must make two decisions when preparing their presentations: (1) data and (2) format.
There is a wealth of economic data available from a wide variety of sources, and it is easy to get lost in a morass of detail. Choose the economic indicators that you think are most relevant to the current economic situation and organize them to tell your story.
It is the teams' job to figure out which are the most important indicators and how to use them. Different indicators are important to understanding the economy and determining monetary policy at different points in time. Teams should be prepared to defend their choice of unusual data.
The St. Louis Fed FRED provides a helpful tool in creating graphs and charts for a wide array of data series.
Although there is no prescribed format for a Fed Challenge presentation, teams generally present in one of three ways:
Research-style presentation
Team members put together their presentation in a logical way, beginning with an economic overview and ending with a monetary policy recommendation. Then they break the presentation apart, assigning a logical component to each participant and using visuals for the indicators most critical to their recommendation. For example, the first team member could open with a statement summarizing overall conditions, such as "Many economists have described our economy as being in a soft patch," and then follow with the team's forecast for the general economy and a discussion of current debates and FOMC policy options. A second team member might turn to an in-depth examination of current economic conditions and their implications for the near term. A third and fourth member could extend the examination, highlighting another two or three indicators in the process. Charts and other visual devices should be used for data relevant to the team's ultimate recommendation. The summary and the recommendation would then be presented by the team's fifth member. This presenter should probably address two or three policy options before focusing in on the course of action that's most consistent with the team's collective insights, and a suggested wording for the statement.
FOMC role play
With this approach, the five team members play the role of Reserve Bank presidents discussing economic and financial conditions, which often results in participants' putting forth different monetary policy prescriptions. For example, referring to a chart of an economic indicator, one "Bank president" might say, "Given the GDP increases in each one of the last four quarters, I think we should raise interest rates by 25 basis points. A second president might counter: "No, interest rates should stay where they are. Despite the GDP data, this chart reveals that Nonfarm Payroll Employment has recently peaked and that fears that the economy will overheat are no longer relevant." The role play continues, with each recommendation supported by data of particular importance for that issue. Discussions end with a vote, as do real FOMC meetings, and an articulation of whatever consensus is reached in the form of an FOMC statement.
Television news panel
This format has one team member acting as moderator and the other four serving as expert panelists. The moderator refers to the upcoming meeting of the FOMC and may set up the discussion by summarizing economic conditions. The moderator solicits the views of the panel who take turns, each focusing on a different set of variables and interpreting the implications for the forecast and policy, while showing charts or other visual devices that illustrate their points. Panelists can conclude their segments with a recommendation for short-term interest rates and make their own "statements" or have the moderator sum up the group's view in the form of a single statement.
Basic Presentation Rules
The Fed Challenge will help you develop the presentation skills needed to perform well before any audience: speaking naturally, making eye contact, listening to and answering questions effectively.
Familiarity with the material is extremely important. The best presenters speak naturally because they really understand the information.
Although a script may make students feel more comfortable, judges are paying more attention than in the past to whether students understand the basic concepts and information. Thus reciting or memorizing a script is not likely to help convince the judges or result in a high score. Hand-held cards to remind you of basic concepts or facts can be useful—although they probably should contain only a few words; cards that contain complete text tend to result in recitations, which don't convey deep understanding of the material and thus may cause the team to be penalized by the judges.
Judges should award a score between 1 and 5 points, in each of the five categories on the master score sheet. Consult the scoring grid below for guidance in awarding points. Two points should be deducted from any team that displays its school's name in an obvious manner.
|Maximum Score
|Considerations Include:
|Knowledge of current economic conditions
|Understanding of monetary policy
|Data & Analysis

I'm sure the Joe Biden "we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy" ad is in the works. But close behind will be the Barney Frank ad telling us that on the economy "the fundamentals are better than the psychology" (Phil Gramm smiles broadly), and advising us that of course we shouldn't raise taxes — not yet:
MARIA BARTIROMO: So you agree: taxes should go up, then, on the top earners, even in this slow environment.
BARNEY FRANK: No. Not right away. I want to wait a year.
The latter points out just how extreme and unrealistic — or is it dishonest? — Barack Obama is being. Is he pushing a tax increase because he's addicted to wealth distribution or just cynically playing on his base's appetite for class warfare? Listen, if Barney Frank knows better, it is hard to imagine that Obama doesn't. We are left wondering why he's holding on to an ideologically extreme position.
There's a bit of the surge phenomenon going on here. Well after it was obvious that the surge was working, Obama continued to deny reality and push for a timeline or even an immediate cut off of funding for the troops. Was he uninformed about the progress being made or afraid to offend his base?
This seems to be the pattern: Obama gets himself out on a policy limb (one that is invariably the farthest to the Left) and refuses to acknowledge error. Sometimes events bail him out (e.g. we wound up winning in Iraq despite the Democrats' push for a retreat deadline), but sometimes he's simply left with an intellectually indefensible position — on taxes or trade for example.
For a guy with a supposedly superior intellect and a magnificent temperament this is all quite puzzling. At the very least it suggests it won't be easy to talk him out of his ultra-liberal positions.

Unfortunately, there's no official word on this yet, so we're not sure if it's just this week, or if Blizzard just didn't have to restart this servers this time around, or what it was. But we do know that Oceanic players are cheering loudly that they didn't have to suffer mistimed maintenance this week, so hopefully Blizzard is taking action as promised on this one.
So very good news for Oceanic players, especially since the lag and shutdowns have been a huge problem for them in the past. If this really is a official change, hopefully we'll see Blizzard confirm that they've finally responded to all the player problems down there.

Bryan Baumgart-Chairman, Douglas County Republican Party
State Senator Kathy Campbell of Lincoln is back with last year's pig, but this year she's put lipstick on it!
Last year, Nebraska patriots successfully fought Campbell's Obamacare Bill, LB577 which sought to expand Medicaid as prescribed under the Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare). The Douglas County Republican Party passed a resolution opposing the Expansion of Medicaid in Nebraska. Fortunately the bill stalled under a filibuster and Governor Heineman's veto promise.
This year Campbell is back with a dressed up version of last year's disaster. The new bill, LB887 still looks to push Obamacare on Nebraska, but with a catchy new name. Campbell has dubbed her bill "WIN", or "Wellness in Nebraska". Apparently she believes Nebraskans are gullible. Whether it's called the "Affordable Care Act" or "Wellness in Nebraska"…it's still the same failed monstrosity that Nebraskans can't afford.
Of course Campbell's bill is once again backed by some of Nebraska's most vocal supporters of government expansion. Senators Nordquist, Howard, and Crawford have already eagerly signed on to the bill, while many of last year's supporters are waiting to see just how heated the opposition is going to get before making the same mistake twice. My sources tell me this bill could hinge on Senator Bob Krist of Omaha. Senator Krist is a Republican up for reelection this fall. I encourage you to give Senator Krist a call at (402) 471-2718 and urge him to oppose LB887, a bill no true conservative could support. Contact information for Nebraska State Senators can be found here.
Under LB887, people with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level would be covered by taxpayers with coverage under the WIN marketplace, or Medicaid for those below the federal poverty level. Those with incomes between 50 percent and 100 percent of the federal poverty level would be required to contribute 2 percent of their incomes with taxpayers covering the rest. The 2 percent contribution would be waived for anyone who obtains an annual physical exam and a health risk assessment.
Supporters suggest Nebraska take advantage of the federal government's promise to cover the expansion of the Medicaid program until 2016, in which federal contributions would then drop to 90% by 2022. The President also promised Americans that they could keep their health insurance if they liked it. That promise was voted Politifacts 2013 Lie of the Year. Nebraskan's don't fall for the same trick twice, just ask Ben Nelson!
The federal government is currently more than $17 trillion dollars in debt. This means each dollar Nebraska receives from the federal government is borrowed against our children's futures, and will eventually have to be repaid with interest by American taxpayers. Last time I checked Nebraska was still in America.
Decades ago, the federal government promised to fund 40 percent of special education. That promise was not kept and taxpayers are left to pick up the tab. If the federal government fails once again to keep its promise, the financial burden falls again onto the backs of hardworking Nebraskans. A study by the Platte Institute reveals that in the states that chose to expand Medicaid, the costs were higher than projected while the numbers of uninsured cases were not dramatically reduced. Given the financial state as well as the track record of our federal government, this is not a risk worth taking for Nebraska taxpayers. Nebraskan's could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars which means reduced funding for education and/or tax increases.
Supporters claim that taxpayers are already on the hook when the uninsured visit emergency rooms for care. However, a new study reveals that people enrolled recently in Medicaid went to emergency rooms 40 percent more frequently than others, often seeking help for conditions that could be treated less expensively in a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic.
Medicaid abuse is just one negative side effect. On Tuesday, Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning announced his Medicaid Fraud Unit has recovered more than $77 million since 2004 and $13.5 million in 2013 alone. Combine the fraud and abuse with other factors such as lack of doctors in rural Nebraska and Medicaid expansion just doesn't add up.
Americans are now witnessing Obamacare fail on every level. From the fumbled website launch to a lack of enrollees as well as numerous delays and executive orders just prolonging the inevitable death of a law that was passed without reading. A law that was promised not to be a tax, yet ruled by the Supreme Court to be the largest tax increase in U.S. history.
Nebraskans should be thankful for Governor Heineman's common sense decision not to bring Obamacare to Nebraska by creating a state exchange. Now we must contact our representatives and ask them to keep Obamacare out of the state by opposing LB887. Simply put…expanding Medicaid means Obamacare stays in Nebraska permanently. Do you know where your State Senator stands? Call them NOW, and ask them to oppose LB887 before it's too late.

You may receive the following error message after the "Downloading ActiveX Control" message appears in the progress bar when you try to use a Microsoft Windows Certificate Server to enroll a smart card:
When this occurs, you cannot continue to use the Smartcard Enrollment Station Web page (Certsces.asp).
The proper version of the ActiveX Control failed to download and install. You may not have sufficient permissions. Please ask your system administrator for assistance.
This behavior occurs if the Microsoft Windows Certificate Server is not in the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer.
When a client computer for which the updated control has not been applied tries to enroll with a Web server that has been updated, the Web server downloads the updated control to the client computer. This occurs if the Web server that hosts the Certificate Services Web enrollment pages is in the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer and if you click Yes in the first warning message as indicated later in this article.

An Active control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?
This behavior is by design.
You can use Microsoft Windows 2000-based and Microsoft Windows XP-based client computers in conjunction with the Web enrollment services pages on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and a Windows 2000 certification authority (CA) to enroll smart cards on behalf of other users. The Smartcard Enrollment station works through Internet Explorer on the client computer and IIS on the server that is hosting the CA Web enrollment pages. This is an optional component during CA installation. The new version of the Smartcard Enrollment control on an updated Web site is not marked "Safe for scripting." You must manually configure Internet Explorer to add the Web server computer that is hosting the Web enrollment pages to the list of trusted sites on the Security tab in Internet Explorer options. If you do not do so, the Smartcard Enrollment control is not downloaded and cannot be used.
After you apply this update to a client computer, the client cannot enroll with a Web server for which the update has not been applied. If you are using a client computer that has installed the fix, Web pages may stop responding, you may receive error messages that state that the ActiveX control could not be downloaded, or enrollment may not be successful.

It's one thing to be able to play odd-time signatures, but it takes that extra level of "feel" to pull it off sounding more natural and not like odd time.
I think one aspect that helps odd-time music feel straight is writing around the guitar riffs, without being concerned where the end of the measure is. A lot of prog players seem to write with the time signature in mind, rather than writing for the sake of how the music comes out.
Totally agree with Matt Cameron. I think the reason it sounds so natural is because I believe I heard an interview with him where he says he was just playing what he thought would fit and had no idea what time signature it was until after the song was done.

What do ministers actually DO?
Warning: Illegal string offset 'video_embed' in /home/seminary/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-inspired/single.php on line 36
Great words from James MacDonald or Harvest Bible Chapel about the critical difference between ministering equippers and servants in the church.
This is a pretty important distinction. In particular, I've seen people go into youth ministry because they love working with youth. Then they become full-time ministers and realize that the administration and equipping tasks are something they're not cut out for.
Thanks to pastor James for good wisdom on this!

Mark, thanks for pointing out this distinction. I have been a full time senior pastor of a small church for a little over three years now, and even in this size of ministry, a heavy percentage of my office hours are devoted to administration. 9 times out of 10, early delegation and training takes longer than just doing it yourself, but gradually, people become trained and equipped, and your effectiveness can multiply.

Below is the poem entitled Strength In Love which was written by poet
Smith. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jay Smith
Days went by,
Addictions grew,
I loved to get high,
When I met you,
Still I continued,
Didn't care at all,
But then you cried,
So I answered your call,
I felt so bad,
I wanted to run,
Seeing you like that,
I thought we were done,
Took you for granted,
I blew it again,
I was so stupid,
I couldn't breathe when,
You broke up with me,
I couldn't help but cry,
I didn't want to live,
I wanted to die,
I wanted to suffer,
Ever so much more,
Than any other pain,
Or misery before,
I died in my own way,
I knew I'd done wrong,
So for the sake of us,
I tried to be strong.
Tears in my eyes,
I spoke to you,
I said no lies,
My words were all true.
