In the past year,
credit card reform
has largely focused on protecting Main Street consumers from those
money-grubbing, bailout-taking card companies on Wall Street. But a
recent development earlier this week could potentially have a much
more far-reaching impact on how Americans pay for their
The battle over plastic
On Monday,
) and
) agreed to a proposed settlement with the U.S. Department of
Justice and several state attorneys general. In the settlement,
which helped the credit card network companies avoid an antitrust
lawsuit, Visa and MasterCard agreed to allow merchants to offer
discounts and various other incentives to customers if they use
cards that cost those merchants less in fees to accept. Before the
settlement, merchants were bound by agreements that prohibited them
from discriminating among different types of credit cards within
the same network, even if some had higher
interchange fees
and other charges.
American Express
) , however, did not join the settlement. As a result, the
Department of Justice filed a civil antitrust lawsuit against the
company, alleging that because the company avoided the settlement,
"consumers are being held hostage from receiving the expanded
choices and lower prices that they deserve." AmEx, meanwhile,
responded that the settlement actually restrains free trade by
allowing merchants to push their customers away from using American
Express cards, which typically have higher merchant fees.
Consumer impact
Despite the hype over the settlement, it's unclear whether it will
actually have any significant effect on merchants or consumers.
Currently, merchants have the right to offer discounts to customers
who use cash, and some apparently steer buyers to use PIN-based
debit card transactions, rather than more costly signature-based
But beyond the occasional gas station offering a lower cash
price, different prices for different payment methods haven't
really caught on among major merchants. A quick check of large
retailers from
Home Depot
didn't reveal any discounts available for cash or the right kind of
debit card. Instead, the most obvious discounts come from using
proprietary store-branded credit cards.
Another hit for rewards cards
If merchants do start being more active about encouraging customers
to use lower-cost forms of payment, then the big losers will be
people who use
credit cards that offer big rewards
, such as airline miles or cash rebates. Such cards often carry
higher interchange fees, which card companies use to help finance
the paybacks to cardholders. If merchants offer discounts to
customers in exchange for not using those rewards cards, then
cardholders will have a sophisticated calculation to do in figuring
out whether the value of the merchant discount outweighs the lost
reward from their credit card.
Such a move could also threaten a new revenue source for card
Capital One
) and
JPMorgan Chase
) have
marketed cards
that charge annual fees of $59 and $85, respectively, in exchange
for attractive rewards programs.
Bank of America
) announced last year that it would charge an annual fee of $29 to
$99 on some of its rewards cards.
Notably absent from the antitrust discussion is
Discover Financial
) , whose Discover card took in just 6% of U.S. credit card volume
during the first six months of the year. Its business model was
founded on the idea of providing rewards to cardholders in the form
of cash-back bonuses. Presumably, the No. 4 card network is too
small to raise antitrust concerns, but it will nevertheless still
need to stay competitive with interchange fees now that merchants
have the upper hand.
What's next
After the proposed settlement is approved, you'll want to look out
for changes at the stores you visit. Being flexible with your
payment options may be somewhat less convenient than simply using
your favorite card everywhere. But if merchants actually follow
through on the issues they've complained about for years, they may
well make it worth your while. Until that happens, though, keep
using the rewards cards that give you a piece of the action -- as
long as they keep paying the rewards you deserve.

Hey ladies! I haven't posted over here before and I'm not sure how active this board is, but here's my question:
I've been knitting baby shoes for LO, but now that she's pulling up and crawling I need to add some kind of traction to the bottoms. Any ideas? So far I've thought of buying some microsuede to sew on to the soles, but I'm still not sure if that's enough traction.
Ideas welcome! Thanks in advance. :-)

On Monday night in a Crawford-Neosho-Cherokee League game between host Frontenac and Riverton, Blake Vail and Ross Edge combined for a no-hitter during a 7-0 win for the Raiders.
In his six innings of work, Vail struck out 13 and walked one batter, throwing 54 strikes in 73 pitches (74 percent strikes). Edge faced six batters in his one inning — hurt by three walks — but Riverton could not make a dent in the runs and hits numbers on the scoreboard.
Frontenac junior catcher Bryan Wade not only called a no-hit game, he went 2-for-3 at the plate with two singles and three RBI. Bryce Burdette, Brett Macary and Matt Standlee also drove in runs. Frontenac scored five of their runs in the third inning.
In the other game, Frontenac won 10-3 as Frontenac accounted for 12 hits, Riverton fielders committed seven errors and Riverton pitchers walked five hitters in a more traditional early season contest.
Austin Beckley led the Frontenac offense with two doubles and three RBI. Edge drove in two runs.
Standlee earned the win, allowing no runs and striking out seven over his four innings of work.

Katelyn Flood hit a home run in both games of a CNC League doubleheader split with Baxter Springs on Monday, a solo blast for the only Colgan run in the first game and a three-run homer in the second half of the twinbill.
Colgan ace Morgan Gilmore took a tough-luck loss in the first game, striking out 10 during a 2-1 loss to the Lions.
In the second game, Colgan bats picked it up — in addition to Flood's three-run long ball, Amanda McBride went 2-for-4 with a single and a double, Gilmore supported herself with 2-4 at the plate, freshman Katie Kolarik hit 2-4, Jordan Fleming also went 2-4 and senior Bridget Hughes gave Colgan five players with 2-4 nights.

Tyler Busch of Grove (Okla.) won top individual honors by shooting 72.

Evolution of the Lomo LC-A to the LC-M, LC-A+, LC-Wide and now the LC-A 120
The lomo LC-A was introduced to the Soviet Union in 1984 as a camera for the people. The idea was to design a camera that anyone could use, lomo took inspiration from the Japanese Cosina CX-2 and toned down the Japanese design with some communist magic. The LC-A was the camera that changed the way I thought about photography as it gave me a lot of creative freedom, the fact I could take it anywhere and that it could be used in low light was a game changer at the time. It seems funny now but when I got my LC-A in 1998 there was not much to choose from if you wanted a half decent camera that could fit in your jean pocket. Compared with the proliferation of camera phones now it seems quite bizarre, compact digital cameras did not exist and they did not become affordable until 2003.

Hands on review of the Android powered Samsung Galaxy NX
Since November 2013 I've been using a Samsung Galaxy NX The first interchangeable lens camera to run the Android operating system. A common feature on new cameras is wireless connectivity that enables them to connect to phones or tablets to transfer photos so that images can then be posted online. Having a combination of Android and wireless connectivity cuts out the middle man, you can shoot pictures then use them in whatever Android app takes your fancy. You might think having full blown Android on a camera might get in the way of shooting, sure you could miss a photo op by playing angry birds, but no matter what app you're using you can get into camera mode with one press of the shutter button. The build quality is really sturdy, it feels as small as it possibly could be while accommodating the large touch screen and large removable battery.

Samsung NX300 hands on review
A few weeks ago I was invited by Samsung, along with 30 other european bloggers, to join them for two crazy days to test out the new Samsung NX300. We spent the our time putting the cameras though it's paces at various speedy events like speed boat rides, horse racing and a whistle stop tour of London. The outcome of this event is that some of the 30 are going to be sent to Paris to meet the equally speedy Usain Bolt and shoot him with the NX 300. There is also a possibility of you being there, courtesy of Samsung, if you check out this Facebook page. After spending two days with the camera I wrote a full review of the NX300 which you can read below.

Lytro announce their first cameras
I wrote about Lytro being set up a while ago but last week they announced there product line up and specs of there forth coming cameras. Lytro is a company that is bringing cameras to market that uses a technology called "light field photography". The cameras capture light in a different way to a normal camera, as if by magic once a photo is taken the focus can be changed.
Lytro camera to make focusing a thing of the past
I remember reading about light field photography in 2008 and being blown away buy it. In a nut shell a light field camera would allow you to take a picture without focusing or setting aperture, all you have to worry about is what is in frame. Only after a photo is taken can the decision be made as to what and how much of the image you want to be in focus. It also means there would be no shutter lag while the camera obtains focus lock because it dose not have to focus! It works by not only recording colour and intensity of light hitting the sensor but also angle of the light, this somehow allows the camera to know what distance the light has come from. Lytro also say the new technology is also well suited to low light. The science is explained far better on the Lytro web site here.

You learn something new everyday: I'm no press photogapher!
I have been shooting with the Canon Eos system for over tens years. Some of the controls on the Eos Canon system have remained pretty much the same since I have had one, my 1st was the 50e from 1996. This is why what I did last week was really stupid beyond belief.
I often think that I would love to be caught up in a major event just so I could record it with my camera. Last week this sort of happened, turned out it was not as major as it looked. It all started when a fleet of 12 police vehicles pulled up outside my office and then an army of police officers jumped out. They were in full riot gear complete with battering rams and crowbars. I instinctively picked up my camera and headed for the door to join the throng of police offices as they headed to the doors of the old Taj supermarket.

'Egypt's junta seeks to usurp power'
An Egyptian NGO known as Judges for Egypt says that Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi has won the country's presidential run-off election. The Egyptian judges association announced Morsi as the winner on Wednesday, saying it has obtained the results without interference from either candidate's campaigns. Egyptians cast their ballots in a two-day presidential run-off election on June 16 and 17, which pitted the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed Morsi, against former Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq. Both candidates in Egypt's presidential election are claiming victory. Press TV has conducted an interview with Zayd al-Isa, Middle East expert and political commentator from London, to further discuss the issue. Below is an approximate transcript of the interview. Press TV: We have the Military Council dissolving the parliament, taking control of the state budget and giving itself veto power on new constitutions. So at the end of the day, what is left for president, then? Isa: Absolutely nothing. That is the whole intention. The Military Council never intended to go down the democratic part. So what has happened over the last week approved beyond shadow of doubt that what the majority of the revolutionaries actually suspected has materialized the overarching goal of the military is actually to retain, consolidate and also retain all power that it has, all the privileges. They want to keep them and let's not forget that the military has been at the heart of politics; they have been at the center of politics; all previous presidents came from the military and that is why we are seeing the all-hearted support and emphatic backing to Ahmed Shafiq. Although according to one of the rules that he actually belongs to the previous government, he was the last prime minister; he is one of the henchmen of Mubarak; he is actually one of his right-hand men and he should not have actually been allowed to run; he should have been banned from running. But we can see clearly that those events are which mainly has been the dissolving of the parliament, although it has been elected freely and it represents the will of the people, and that is the main thing about democracy. The parliament has to be representative of the overwhelming will of the people. Even though that the constitutional court has ruled that it is going to dissolve the parliament, I do not think that [this happens] within the rights although they can [plot out] one-third of the representative but it is only an elected president who has the right to actually dissolve the parliament. That is why, before announcing a president, they want to empty that position and severely undermine and severely limit the authorities or the powers of any president. So basically at the end of the day the military will be as usual business as usual, will be ultimately running the show and it will be calling the shot with those decisions. I do believe that those decisions are completely counter-productive; the military has miscalculated particularly by announcing the dissolution of the parliament before the presidential elections, two days before that, because that actually has spectacularly backfired by galvanizing more support for Mohamed Morsi, although the people were actually disillusioned and disappointed with the performance of the Muslim Brotherhood within the parliament because they achieved very little during the period they actually were the dominant power in the parliament but that act which could not be explained other than basically resorting to the old tyrannical method of the old regime by going ahead and dissolving the parliament, I do believe, played into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. It actually restored their image of being targeted and being victimized and that is why it galvanized more support for them; it has boosted their position and also it is playing directly into the hands of the revolutionaries by proving beyond the shadow that if the Military Council is given an inch, it is going to take a mile in terms of enhancing, consolidating and boosting its position by retaining all sorts of power. I do believe that is why we see the people taking back to the streets because that is the only means for them to exert leverage over the Military Council and to show beyond a shadow that they are the ones that must be given the power because the parliament was elected by them. They have taken to the streets defying the old regime, defying the military over and over again and we can see a momentum-building; we can see that the protests are gathering pace and gathering momentum and we can see that there is a new spirit developing within the protesters that we were the ones that ousted, the ones that toppled Mubarak. Press TV: Mr. Isa, how far do you think the people will go to get their demands met though? Isa: I think mainly the protests are taking place today on top of demonstrating and protesting the decisions of the military to dissolve the parliament and to turn the presidency into something only symbolic and to actually [slurp it up] and robbing of all the authorities and power. They are trying to preempt and prevent the military from actually falsifying the results of the elections by declaring that somehow Ahmed Shafiq has actually managed to win the elections and by doing that, then, it will mean at the end of the day that the military has completely succeeded in robbing the people of their revolution and we are back at square one and that means the old regime is there.

I had broke 3 bones in my face and he did a wonderful reconstruction.
My ears stuck out and I've hated them for as long as I can remember. I got an otoplasty from Dr. Vecchione almost 5 years ago, and I regret this surgery more than anything. My ears are both deformed now, even 5 years later. My left ear sticks out almost as far as it used to, is still painful to the touch, and has a very rugged scar (looks more like two pieces of skin stitched together) that never fully heals. I have had sutures come out of this scar and I've had to cut them off myself, because they were so painful. My right ear looks completely stuck to my head, and has large bumps of scar tissue on the exterior, giving it a "birth defect" look (I've gotten a lot of 'oh my god, what's wrong with your ear? Were you born like that?'"). I wish I had never done this surgery. He offered to revise the surgery by making an incision on the exterior of my ear to shave down the scar tissue to attempt to fix the right ear, but I could never trust him enough to go under the knife again. I hope one day I find a surgeon that I trust who can fix my ears. They are my #1 insecurity now. Look at his otoplasty photos during the consultation (not the pre-op, like I did). They are obviously very bad, especially compared to his other procedures which look pretty successful. All of his otoplasties turn out like 'telephone ears', with the top and bottom sticking out and the middle of the ear plastered to the head. Please don't go under the knife for your ears with this doctor.
Saved by face from the ravage done when a German Shepard bit me. Explained the procedure and prognosis clearly and compassionately. He continues to treat me. It a privilege to be a patient of Dr. Randal Vecchione.

Qtel internet speed :((( Is it just me?
We have a 1mbps ADSL package from Qtel and at our old home it worked well, we could skype with family back home (with video), access internet, no problem. Then last week we moved our connection (same account, same package) to our new villa just 1 block down the road and now I cannot even open websites or log into google chat (text only), never mind skype, my internet is so slow :(
I did one of those online speed checks and (after the test site "timed out" the first 3 times I tried to open it)download speed was about 500kbps (this morning and upload speek only *wait for this* 8kbps :( And this is on a friday morning - a good day. Is this normal?
I am reluctant to upgrade to a higher speed when I am not even getting the speed I am currently paying for.
Is it normal for customers in different locations to get completely different internet speeds even though they pay for exactly the same package?
What can I do? Should I just cancel my home internet and rely on my blackberry? I am so frustrated and know that if I call qtel they will just tell me to upgrade to a more expensive connection, even though the problem is clearly on their side as it started only when I relocated and my subscription has not changed.
Any advice? Am I right to be annoyed? Can anyone refer me to someone at Qtel who could help?

Ok! Neil!
is going on at 3:22 of "The Ancient Combat / 2nd Kroykah" in the Amok Time score?!?!? I'm used to hearing a pause there before the fight music kicks up again. Here the fight music resumes abruptly, sort of breaking in on the preceding brass chords.
My theory is this: on the old GNP Crescendo disc, they used a version of the cue that was not the version used in the episode. I don't have "Amok Time" handy to watch, but I vaguely remember that the fight resumes before Kirk is really ready. And this version of the cue shows that thru music. Given that internal "evidence", and everything we've read about the process you went thru to identify "takes" and sync them up etc, that seems plausible to me.
But is it right? The old CD used a version of the cue that is "accurate", in the sense of being from the recording session, but was not the version aired in the episode? And you restored the version actually used in the episode, to this set?
By the way, the improvement in sound quality is really noticeable in this score. I can clearly hear a bunch of percussion right in the "middle" of the mix, that was muddled before. And the "new" stuff (Deep Thought/Message From TPring/Pon Farr etc) is incredible.
(And that's just this score!)

Japanese Love Story
as many of you know i love browsing through the life image archives. usually i have no real goal – just sniffing around, digging until i find something great to share with you. since it's Valentine's Day i thought this collection of photographs called Japanese Love Story by John Dominis was fitting. i don't know what the photographs were taken for or if there is an actual love story behind any of them… perhaps just let your imagination fill in the blanks.
hug a dog day
i'm declaring this international hug a dog day. they love it, you love it – everybody wins.

It was just over a year ago, eating a bowl of Moules et Frits, on holiday in Paris with my girlfriend Liz, that I realised I could quite easily spend the rest of my life with her. I just needed the right way of asking the question, and a bit of time to work it all out. One definite intention was proposing through illustration. I'd like to think of it as two of my favourite things in life in coming together for the one goal.

I have a similar problem. I need to sync all my devices with ical but because icloud cut out anyone who can't run the latest OS I have been cut out of syncing the old fashioned mac way. I am trying to see if I can sync using a gmail account. I was told by apple support that I could but I have not been successful yet. Anyone know if this works?
This actually isn't a similar problem (the OP was asking about publishing to a web page, not syncing) and it would be better if you asked this in a new thread. I should title it something like 'Syncing iCal with Google Calendar' to get attention.
I was having the problem also. I found two workarounds that sorta solved the problem.
1. Doodle.com. The MyDoodle feature publishes a calendar on a website that people can use. It works very nicely except it only offers week view. Additionally, it only shows your "free/busy" time. Still, this is my preference since I don't necessarily want people to know where I am all the time. Doodle synchronizes with your existing calendars automatically using the Doodle-iCal Connector free. This has been the best solution for me.
2. Google Calendar with BusySync. Create a Google Calendar and use BusySync to sync your iCloud calendars to Google Calendar. Then you can create html code and paste it into a website. This would be good for a class.
I find this change EXTREMELY frustrating. It has created a big problem for me. The lack of web viewable calendars has really hogtied me after using this system well for a year. Also the google calendar's functionality for sharing with others without a google profile is abismal. I'm really disapointed that my new Ipad is pretty much not going to be as funstiocal as I wanted it to be now.
I found another way too... I made a wordpress and exported the google calendar in a box.... three steps later my calendar is viewable...lamer than the old easy way. Cheers Apple.

Please excuse the plain Jane makeover of this website. This is intended to be only temporary. There have been some complications, lately, which led me to dump the old stuff, at least for the time being.
OMG, Madonna, I just realized something while watering my lawn, just now. I was thinking about how it was with us decades ago, and it finally dawned on me about something. What I just realized is that you proposed to me TWICE, not just once. The first time was in 1974, in Hollywood, but the second time was in 1980, in Costa Mesa, just after you bought me that little house in Costa Mesa. This tells me something, and that is, you'd probably go for a three-peat. That should do it. I'm pretty sure it'd work. You can try that out, now. I've been waiting ever since you broke up with Guy. Don't keep me waiting.

Here's a birthday reminder. This is a full week's advance notice. Sunday, August 16, 2015 is Madonna's 57th birthday. Now, when you send her a message bidding her a terrible birthday, you can do it on time. You won't be late this time.
Alas, I herald the news of Jennifer Aniston's newly announced sneak wedding to Justine Theroux. I just spied a report that they married in Bel Air, today, the 6th of August, 2015. Well Jen, all I can say at the moment is : "How could you do that? You realize how much I enjoyed looking at your tits up close, don't you?" Maybe it was too good to last, for me? I think not.
By the way, Jen, it looks like I've got people really equating you to Jen the Hen. As evidence, I cite the reappearance of the free-range-chicken GEICO commercial, on the same day you married Justin. That can't be a mere coincidence. So, it looks like you're really Jen the Hen, Jen.
As for Madonna, if I didn't know better, I'd probably conclude she were trying to get back on my good side. I really have a good side, you know. Madonna will always be how Madonna is, if a miracle doesn't intervene to change her.
Oh, would that this were real !
So, wouldn't you know it, it IS Madonna's year, AGAIN. How is it that Madonna keeps having things in common with "Chinese year of the" animals?
Is that a blessing?
Excuse me for being a little late with this observation, but this is the Chinese year of the sheep, Madonna. So, now I'm wondering, how does Madonna relate to a sheep? Can this also be Madonna's year, based on this being the year of the sheep? If this is Madonna's year, also, I don't think it has anything to do with sheep. Oh...except for one thing that just came to mind: Madonna had a lot of "wool" down under, in those early nudes of her. That's the only similarity I can think of between her and sheep.
Here's an example of an early, wooly, nude, Madonna shot.
If only this were in color !
Good news! I found a copy of the article I wrote, explaining my old relationship with Whitney Houston. To read it,
click here
. To sum up, Whitney wanted to marry me back then, in 1979. I kind of wanted to marry her, but I had issues with the idea, so I steadfastly refused.
By the way, for those of you who read my former web page on it, I remember who the young petite lady was to my left, in the back seat of the car with me, that one time. She was Yaya. Bear in mind that Whitney was only 16 years old, back then, so her friends maybe were close to her in age. I at first thought Whitney may have been older than me, but I was 21. I could hardly believe it when she told me she was 16.
That was a real doozy of a kiss between me and Whitney, that one time in the former Ben Frank's restaurant, in Hollywood. She had long, perfectly straight, black hair, at that time. One of the first things Whitney said to me, after we sat down at the counter was, "Do you have any Quaaludes?" I had never heard of Quaaludes, so of course I didn't have any.
And there was that time I drove her to Muhammad Ali
's apartment. She guided me there, as I drove her over in my then '64 VW beetle. His place was in Hollywood, in a second floor apartment, on what I think was an east/west street. He was at first on the balcony in front of his apartment, and we looked up at him from my car. Then we went up and into his place. She talked with him for a while. There were just the three of us in there, at the time. I didn't want to hear what they were talking about, so I effectively blocked it out. To this day, I have no idea what they talked about, that time.
Oh, and then, many years later, Whitney turned up dead in a bathtub! And then her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, also turned up nearly dead in a bathtub, and has since died! I never met Bobbi Kristina. She came along well after Whitney and I broke up.
Whitney and Bobbi Kristina look happy in this photo.
Well, real life stories don't always have happy endings.
I sincerely believe that Whitney would NOT have recorded
I Will Always Love You
, if I hadn't suggested it to her, in a final conversation, one day, in 1979. Well, as you know, she DID record it, and took home a Grammy Award for it, too. See, this is another example of my musical good luck charm working its magic, that time for Whitney. Can you imagine her career without that one? It helped push her over the top. Incidentally, "I will always love you," was what I said/thought, about Whitney, in the wake of that above-mentioned passionate kiss, standing in the front, inside of Ben Frank's restaurant. There were others standing around, at that moment. I didn't know those words were going to be the title of one of her biggest hits.
Okay, now I can't close this discussion without bringing up a conversation I once had with Whitney. One day she told me her name was Houston, so I couldn't resist mentioning that one of the residential streets in my neighborhood had that same name, Houston. She also asked me what name she should use (same conversation). In hindsight, I believe she was making a early allusion to the definite fact that she wanted to marry me. After that time, it was out in the open, in clear, unmasked language, about her wanting to marry her. I wished I could, but I didn't think it would work out for me.
Whitney, I really cared about you. I felt guilty about tuning you down. But now you can't read this, except from the beyond.
Although many reporters could feel uncomfortable with the following information, it is the truth, nontheless. I state it here, as an historical note about who I am, and something about my background:
I really am the original Stephen Bray, of early association with Madonna. I made up the name one day, while I was with Madonna, indoors someplace (on Sunset Bl. in Hollywood). We were in some plain-looking room of a studio, back in such primordial times. I wanted to keep my preexisting first name, which was, and is, "Steven," but I felt like switching to the other popular spelling, "Stephen." The last name I sort of pulled out of a magical, nonexistent hat, so to speak, and that name happened to be "Bray." It was short and simple, and it mysteriously came to my mind, and the rest is history. Now, I want to explain about the other Stephen Bray, the black guy, who got all the credit and fanfare. Madonna pulled him into the picture, during a timeframe when I was feeling spooked about everything, as if I could be in deep trouble just for trying to pursue a career in music. Alas, I was so timid about my place in the music industry, back in those days. Madonna's bringing in the other guy to be me, instead, so to speak, was the so-called solution to my lack of temerity in the music field. This was one of the mistakes I made in music, and a big one at that. I don't know who would ever acknowledge the truth about all this, but I know. The ones who would know, besides myself and Madonna, are various young men, who also hung around with Madonna and I. Some of them were in forward seats in the limosine, but I was always the favored one, in the back, alone with Madonna. There were various young men, whom I walked with on the street, who also were in our crowd, whether or not they were ever honored with a limosine ride with us. So, I'm telling you what it was, and is, now. I never went to court to make it my real name. Madonna always had an artifice for every circumstance, and this is a case in point.
This is not to say that the traditionally acknowledged black Stephen Bray wasn't involved in real music, and so on. He was.
However, I was the real guy who hung around with Madonna, and rode with her in her limosine. Madonna was already doing the limosine scene in the 1970's, before the public had heard of her. I know, because I was there with her. I had a good time with her, and I even had sex with her, once. But, as you can deduce from the above, there was room for improvement, as far as what I got out of it. Some of her music DID come from me. Some of the music other music people got famous for also came from me, as examples: 1) Green Day, and 2) Maroon Five. And that's not all. My music always made the big time.
If I recall correctly about this detail, I did meet the black Stephen Bray, once, but that was all. He was never around any other time, when I was with the Madonna crowd.

Hip-hop's Usher claims ex-wife spit at girlfriend
ATLANTA (AP) -- Hip-hop artist Usher Raymond is locked in a legal battle with his ex-wife arising from a custody fight over their two sons.
The 33-year-old testified in court on Tuesday that Tameka Foster Raymond spit at and tried to fight his girlfriend during one visit. He alleged that his ex-wife hit him during the dispute, but that he didn't press charges because "I didn't want the boys to know that their father put their mother in jail."
Tameka Raymond's attorney claims that Usher provoked her client and that his account is exaggerated.
The two were married in 2007 and divorced two years later. Tameka Raymond has since fought for full custody of their two sons while Usher Raymond wants more visitation rights.

This whole "he took this" or "he did not take that" is a TIRED argument and distraction from the purity of the results.. Marquez KO of Pacquiao is going to stand and Pacquiaos KO's of other fighters are going to stand… All this other nonsense really falls under the heading of EXCUSES, CONJECTURE, HATE and Childishness… Marquez KNOCKED Pac Man cold, we saw it, video captured it, the news reported it and you can speculate until judgement day this is NEVER going to change..Its time to move on and stop polluting threads with BS that cannot be substantiated because people are sour about the results of the bout.Posted January 11, 2013 5:47 pm
"What Pacquiao needs is a new Trainer and then right into a Rematch with Marquez." This is incorrect. Pacquiao was effectively bobbing and weaving, ducking and slipping Marquez's punches through much of the fight. It was a new tactic and it made it hard for Marquez not only to connect, but to figure out how to connect. Pac got knocked down, then KOd because he did NOT continue to do what Roach had trained him to do for the fight–patience, bob and weave, duck and slip. Pac let his fighter instinct get the best of him, that translated into carelessness and foolishness, then Marquez KOd him. It was clear to me that Roach and Pacquiao had a good plan. But Manny didn't follow it. Pacquiao doesn't need a new trainer. He needs to work his plan.Posted January 11, 2013 1:47 pm
Floyd is above Pac Man clearly but saying Manny REALLY lost 2 fights in a row is just plain weak… No sane observer thinks Tim Bradley even came close to winning that fight it was a joke… That robbery is being used as a baseball bat to overstate Pac Mans troubles as of late…He lost almost no cache after that boutPosted January 11, 2013 1:09 pm
Hecdog….please don't put Floyd on the same line with Manny….he is superior to him, that's a fact!
Manny lost two fights in a row….:)Posted January 11, 2013 8:07 am

Hecdog no matter how many times you try to spew that garbage about JMM win over Manny being tainted it wont make it true so you are just gonna have to face the fact that Dinamita was and always will be the better fighter..if anything is tainted it is Pacquiao's catchweight fights and bogus 8 division titles that you like to brag so much about..its funny how you talk about Manny always showing Marquez respect but we can always count on pactards to act like jerk offs and sore losers..Posted January 11, 2013 6:16 am

"I'm just a fan that appreciates watching a super fighter . . ." who the f'k do you think you're kidding HECDOG? you're little more than a Pacquiao* fanatic whose done nothing but QUESTION the integrity of a Tested and Proven ATG like Marquez simply because he KTFO of your idol while avoiding having to admit that Pacquiao* is the ONLY fighter to decline being tested to face his primary P4P rival. you may be a fan of Pacquiao* but you're no fight-fan of Boxing.Posted January 10, 2013 11:55 pm

"You think post fight tests are actually effective when they know exactly when they'll be tested? Donaire is the only boxer you can say with nearly complete certainty is clean because he participates in 24/7/365 random testing with VADA." – True that. I've been critical of Donaire's comp at times but he's among the sport's most active titlists and he volunteered to be tested out of competition. It guarantees he's clean and perhaps set s a precedent for the sport to require out of comp testing.Posted January 10, 2013 6:53 pm

I like the double header with each guy taking tuneups before they rematch. But tuneups should never be PPV. I won't pay the robber barons.Posted January 10, 2013 6:48 pm

Hecdog Im pretty sure everyone gets it by now, you're in love with Manny Pacquiao, let's get down to real boxing talk now..geez!Posted January 10, 2013 6:36 pm
Problem is: If Pac Vs Marquez V does happen and Marquez wins, you can guarantee there will be a 6th fight because they will be both even, Won 2 each and 1 draw.Posted January 10, 2013 5:54 pm
Marquez doesn't need a tune up. Neither does Pacquiao. Marquez is already on Top of his game. Pacquiao was as ready as he's ever going to be last Fight. What Pacquiao needs is a new Trainer and then right into a Rematch with Marquez. He needs to just Box but his Trainer doesn't teach that very WELL. If he eliminates the tune up he will have the element of surprise on his side and THAT is his BEST shot. Right now he's just too predictable for Marquez.Posted January 10, 2013 5:53 pm
…so when is PEDman/Marquez XX scheduled for?Posted January 10, 2013 3:15 pm
Or…….maybe you should get in the ring? I'm sure that will be more exciting huh?Posted January 10, 2013 2:10 pm
Tim Bradley vs JMM and Pacman vs R.Guerrero and Mayweather jr vs Canelo and Broner vs Burns and Rios vs Abril 2 rematch needs to happen.Posted January 10, 2013 12:42 pm
I meant to say Paulie fought a one-handed fight against Cano.Posted January 10, 2013 11:58 am
"That way Pacquiao vs Marquez V can be a World championship Fight." I agree, Tark. But I wouldn't be so hasty to dismiss Paulie Malignaggi. Paulie TKOd the guy who KOd Hatton. Granted, Hatton hadn't fought in several years before facing Senchenko but I don't think anyone expected Senchenko to KO him. Then Paulie basically fought a one-handed fight against and beat him by a squeaky SD–Paulie broke his wrist or hand in that fight I think. Anyways, I agree with you, a Pacquiao/Malignaggi matchup would be a great fight. Imagine, what would the world say if Malignaggi beat Pacquiao! As for Marquez/Senchenko, I think Senchenko would do very well against Marquez, mainly because of Senchenko's height and reach advantage. He doesn't have the ring smarts that Marquez does, but he does have power. Still, I'd favor Marquez but I don't think Marquez would take such a matchup. But I'm all for the Pacquaio/Malignaggi matchup. Paulie will fight anyone. Always has.Posted January 10, 2013 11:58 am

ideally, i woud like to see Marquez retire with a Cinco de Mayo win over Tim Bradley. otherwise, i hope that for once Marquez drives a hard take-it-or-leave-it "business" deal with Pacquiao* and his equally shameless Bobfather Arum. absolutely EVERYthing from location, weight, ring-size, gloves, and purse-size should overwhelmingly favor Marquez, i.e., the reverse situation of every Marquez v. Pacquiao* matchup above 126lbs. i would particularly like to see Pacquiao* "weight-drained" to 140lbs, which is the dangerous weight-class he conveniently leap-frogged to outspeed and outquick bigger, slower, older welters and middles. For-Once, Pacquiao* should be compelled to compromise and sacrifice for his "greatness", which is the one element that has been glaringly absent from their nine-year rivalry for which Marquez has been solely responsible. after all, if it had been up to Team Punkuiao*, II, III, and IV would've never happened and the "official" and unofficial outcomes of those bouts are the reasons why.Posted January 10, 2013 11:47 am
These comments are even funny. Pedquaio? You guys aren't even witty. This is pathetic.Posted January 10, 2013 11:35 am

It's a shame when champions are made of PEDs. PEDcquiao has been doing it for how long now, almost a decade. JMM just started. Both fighters should be ashmed of themselves. Looks like tow midget hulks in the ring.Posted January 10, 2013 4:37 am

So sick of Pacquiao and Marquez, I thought these guys were supposed to be retired already. I'd watch a Pac Bradley rematch because it's actually somewhat relevant but this is just pointless, especially with the tune-ups first. How old will they be now? 40 something? Boxing must be low on talent if we're still stuck watching these geezers.Posted January 10, 2013 1:09 am
The ideal opponent for Pac for an April 20 fight would be Paulie Malignaggi… He has a World Championship at Welterweight and he's a super light hitter—which will allow Pacquiao's brain to continue to heal.. They can find another easy guy for Marquez, maybe the guy who just beat Ricky Hatton?
That way Pacquiao vs Marquez V can be a World championship Fight.Posted January 9, 2013 11:42 pm
Floyd is not reliable enough to make plans around him. I'll believe he'll fight Canelo in September when the deal is signed.Posted January 9, 2013 11:28 pm

Former Reds owner Carl Lindner passed away Monday night at the age of 92.
Lindner owned the Reds from 1999-2005, selling the team to current a group led by Bob Castellini. He had been minority owner before and after his term as CEO in those six seasons. Lindner's biggest moment as owner was approving the trade to bring Ken Griffey Jr. from Seattle to his hometown of Cincinnati. He was also the owner when Great American Ball Park opened.
Lindner took over the Reds from Marge Schott. As owner of the Reds -- and perhaps as a reaction to the style of Schott -- Lindner shied away from the public and was seen as the scapegoat for the Reds' struggles. The new owner, Castellini, has been much more visible as the team's owner, in part learning from the reaction to Lindner's silence.
The high-school dropout started his fortune with a dairy and convenience store chain, before founding American Financial Corp., which later acquired Chiquita Brands International and Great American Insurance. That company's name is used on the Reds' stadium.
"Carl was a great entrepreneur, family man and friend of the Greater Cincinnati region," Castellini said in a statement released by the team. "His humble beginnings gave him a great sense of how to create value and the importance of giving back to your community. He is perhaps the greatest Horatio Alger, rags to riches, story in Cincinnati's corporate history. He understood the importance of a healthy and vibrant city core and for years helped to create such a city – quietly, constructively and often anonymously. He made many great contributions to the city – not the least of which was being tied to the Reds ownership since 1981, including having purchased controlling ownership in 1999. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time."
Here's his obituary from the Cincinnati Enquirer.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @eyeonbaseball on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Josh Freeman found Dallas Clark down the left sideline for the deciding touchdown to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 27-21 overtime win against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Freeman finished the game 25-for-46 passing for 248 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Vincent Jackson had six catches for 94 yards and Doug Martin carried the ball 24 times for 138 yards, including 48 yards on the decisive drive for the Bucs (6-4), who have won four straight.
"All wins are satisfying, but this one was fun," said Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano. "It is rewarding to those guys. It is so hard to win in the National Football League, every win is great."
Cam Newton was 16-for-29 passing for 252 yards and a touchdown while Brandon LaFell caught five passes for 93 yards and a score for the Panthers (2-8), losers in two straight and seven of their last eight.
"This is as bad as it gets. We had every opportunity to win," said Carolina coach Ron Rivera. "Wen you have an opportunity to close it out with a four- minute offense you can't take negative plays and unfortunately we did. You have an opportunity to stop them and for whatever reason you don't recognize the formation and don't make the play.
Trailing 21-13 with just 1:02 left in regulation, Freeman orchestrated a 7-play, 80-yard drive to tie the game. Freeman found Jackson up the middle for a 17-yard completion to put the ball at the Carolina 24. Freeman then spiked the ball to stop the clock, and on the next play found Jackson in the end zone for a touchdown.
Freeman then turned back to Jackson for the two-point conversion to knot the game at 21-21 to force overtime.
Three consecutive runs by Martin to open up the overtime period put the ball at the Panthers' 41 and Freeman found Mike Williams for a 13-yard completion. Following two more Martin rushes and a 4-yard completion to Jackson, Freeman tossed it to the sure-handed Clark for the game-winning 15-yard touchdown pass.
Clark's defender tripped on the play and the tight end waltzed into the end zone untouched.
After a three-and-out on their first touch the Bucs were forced to punt, but Captain Munnerlyn fumbled on the return and Tampa Bay capitalized on the miscue six plays later when Freeman found Nick Byham for a 3-yard touchdown reception.
Freeman dropped back and the pocket immediately collapsed, but Freeman tossed it to the back of the end zone and Byham seemingly came out of no where and made the catch to give Tampa Bay the early 7-0 lead.
Connor Barth's 51-yard field goal gave the Buccaneers a 10-0 cushion with 5:21 left in the first quarter.
Munnerlyn made up for his special teams blunder and picked off Freeman before returning it 74 yards for a touchdown. Freeman was wrapped up by two Carolina defenders and was being dragged down when he threw the ill-advised pass.
Stewart's 1-yard touchdown run capped an 8-play, 77-yard drive to put the Panthers up 14-10 with 8:53 left in the second. Earlier, Newton hit Steve Smith for a 17-yard catch-and-run on 3rd-and-2 to put the ball at the Tampa 11. The Bucs were then flagged for pass interference on 3rd-and-10 to set up Stewart's plunge.
Justin Medlock missed a 40-yard field goal at the 2:42 mark in the second quarter that would have extended the Panthers' lead to seven points.
The Bucs had an opportunity to take a 17-14 lead early in the fourth after getting inside the Panthers' 10-yard line, but Martin fumbled on 4th-and-1 resulting in a touchback for Carolina.
Martin broke the first tackle, but the ball came lose just before he crossed the goal line.
The Panthers went up 21-10 when Newton found LaFell for a 29-yard touchdown pass. Earlier, Newton found LaFaell for a 20-yard gain before a 17-yard completion to Smith got the ball down to the Tampa 29 before dialing up LaFell on the next play for the score.
The Bucs kept their hopes alive with Barth's 40-yard field goal to cap a 10- play, 58-yard drive.
Freeman has thrown at least two touchdowns in six straight games ... The last
time Tampa Bay won four straight was the 2008 season ... Carolina is 1-3
against NFC South opponents this season.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.
