'Voice UK' Coaches In Return For Season Two
BBC One is bringing back all four of its The Voice UK coaches when the show returns next spring. Tom Jones, will.i.am, Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue are on board for the second season of the show that was BBC One's biggest new entertainment series on record following its debut in March. The first season had a consolidated average of 9.2M viewers and a 38.5% share. For a large part of its run, it was locked in a battle with Simon Cowell's Britain's Got Talent which aired on BBC rival network ITV. Voice ratings were solid through the blind auditions and battle rounds, but floundered during the live shows leading the BBC to pare down live performances for next season. Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, for his part, said "This season is gonna be doper than last year!"

I have an interesting question around Slick/Scala that I am hoping that one of you nice chaps might be able to assist me with.
I have several tables and by extension in SLICK case classes
case class A(...)
case class B(...)
case class C(...)
that share these common fields
(id: String, livemode: Boolean, created: DateTime, createdBy : Option[Account]) .
Because these fields are repeated in every case class, I'd like to explore the possibility of extracting them into a single object or type.
However, when creating the SLICK table objects I would like things to end up where these common fields are included too so I can persist their individual values in each table.
object AsTable extends Table[A]("a_table") {
def id = column[String]("id", O.PrimaryKey)
def livemode = column[Boolean]("livemode", O.NotNull)
def created = column[DateTime]("created", O.NotNull)
def createdBy = column[Account]("created_by", O.NotNull)
Effectively, the end result I'm looking for is to allow me make changes to the common fields without having to update each table.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

OK, let me help resolve this:
Delightfully foulmouthed Wall St. watcher Bess Levin is somehow gumming up the NY Observer's purchase of Dealbreaker, the site that is essentially Bess Levin (plus other unimportant stuff), according to Henry Blodget's site BusinessInsider.
Girlfriend, get yourself an agent and get in the big leagues. Regardless of your use of language (which sure as hell doesn't offend us), there are lots of sites that could beef up their coverage of Wall Street with you:
• Rolling Stone.com: Taibbi has made it clear that there is no language restrictions;
• New York Magazine Intelligencer has never steered clear of salty language;
• Blodget's Business Insider would love to maker you part of his growing site (hence the coverage);
• StockTwits Network (but Howard pays more equity than cash, so you would have to wait till someone takes them out before your payday).
I'm not sure I agree BI's reason for Dealbreaker "going for so cheap." Its widely read, but only because of Bess. And i don't buy that "its hard to sell ads against its very entertaining but gossipy and sexed-up content" as tobacco, liquor and Vegas have no problems with R-rated language.
Hence, my offer. If no one steps up, and Bess cannot extend her contract on acceptable grounds, I will. I am confident we can sell at least $10k a month against her traffic . . .

Del Mar's Location Matters scouts sites, uses analytics to find best places to open
Mike DiNorscia
Occupation: Co-owner, Location Matters, Sweet 100
Personal: Born in Wilmington, Del. Age: 34. He and wife Danielle have a 6-year-old son.
Born: Wilmington, Del.
Education: Susquehanna University, 2001 graduate with degree in business administration.
Work history: Started out as a sales representative for Hormel Foods. Started Location Matters with Michael Spilky in 2008, followed by Sweet 100 in 2010.
Clients: Includes restaurants such as Broken Yolk, Burger Lounge, Cucina Urbana, Davanti Enoteca, Flippin' Pizza, PrepKitchen, Ruby's Diner, Tony Roma's and Umami Burger.
An accomplished chef or restaurateur can offer stellar food and service, but if the location isn't right, no amount of tinkering with the menu will salvage the business.
That's where broker Mike DiNorscia comes in. His company, Del Mar-based Location Matters (the name is self-explanatory), does the heavy lifting for its restaurant clients, scouting locations, analyzing demographics and studying daytime and evening traffic trends to come up with the best fit.
He and his partner, Michael Spilky, became so enamored with the restaurant business that they started a second company, Sweet 100, that invests exclusively in new dining spots. Their first two ventures were Burger Lounge's Little Italy location and Cucina Urbana's sister restaurant, Cucina Enoteca, in Irvine. They're now poised for expansion into other parts of the country, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
DiNorscia recently spoke to U-T San Diego about his two companies and the current environment for opening new restaurants.
Q: Location, in real estate, is everything. What do you look for in a site for restaurant tenants?
A: When we first got into the business, we were focused on the art of real estate, parking, visibility, density in the area, daytime population, traffic. All those metrics are pretty common in terms of commercial real estate. In the last couple of years, our team is incorporating more of the science component, which is understanding who the customer is. Once you've done that, you can look at the daytime population, for example, and see how will that translate into your lunch business.
We've seen a tremendous amount of new restaurants going to Little Italy, and that's because that area has a strong daytime population. If you have a fast-casual concept oriented toward lunch business, you want to be in an area that has a strong population of businesses. You also want to have a higher density of residential with people frequenting the area at night.
Q: Can you offer examples of instances where a restaurant failed because of a poor location?
A: We haven't seen a whole lot of failure because most of the brands and clients we represent typically already have a regional presence with two to three restaurants in existence. Much of the failure in the restaurant industry that we see comes from the startup restaurateur who chooses a bad real estate site because they have failed to properly identify their customer.
If we are working with a startup, we want to make sure that they have a solid business plan, have some operational experience, and are well capitalized. Other common mistakes that we see made include choosing a site that has poor visibility, isn't easily accessible, or it might not have appropriate parking.
Q: For a while, rent rates were trending downward, as a result of the economic downturn. Where are they now?
A: San Diego is an extremely tight retail market, so there's not a whole lot of vacancy.
When we started, rents took a hit all across the county, but compared to the rest of the country, the effect is minimal. East County areas, Eastlake took a harder hit, but rents pretty much are where they were before 2008. La Jolla got hit pretty hard but we're starting to see that come back up as well. If I had a client in my office right now, the message I'd communicate to them is if you want to be in one of the core areas, there's no screaming deal right now. I get clients who come in every week and say, I want a restaurant in Little Italy or Del Mar, but there's no space.
Q: The turnover for restaurants, compared to other types of businesses, is said to be much higher. What have you noticed in San Diego during your time in the industry?
A: The economy has affected more the independent restaurant operator than the well capitalized chains. It also has affected more of the full-service restaurants as opposed to fast casual. I think turnover, though, has slowed down. It's just becoming harder for us to find good real estate, which is an indication that turnover has slowed down.
Q: What types of restaurants are showing the greatest demand, and what are the hot locations?
A: There's tremendous demand for fast casual restaurants, from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, and demand lessens as you get to the bigger-sized restaurants. A lot of the chains and restaurateurs like to go into dense, urban environments. There's been a move toward that, and a good part of the reason for that is you've got the lunch business and more people living in those areas. There are areas like the heart of the Gaslamp, Little Italy, Kensington, Coronado that have been really stable, and North County coastal as well.
Q: Currently, Sweet 100 has invested in just two restaurant concepts, Cucina Enoteca and Burger Lounge. How do you decide where you want to make your investments?
A: The first thing we look at are the people, are they passionate about the concept? What type of management style do they have?
The second point is the concept and the food. Is there something about the product that's superior? We want to see concepts that are proven, that have a track record and ones that we can grow.
Q: What are your plans for future investments?
A: We've recently reached agreement with another San Diego-based restaurant concept, but San Diego is not the only market we are focusing on. We currently are in conversations with a couple fast-casual restaurant operators in Denver and Chicago.
Within the fast-casual segment we see a tremendous amount of opportunity and specifically like cafeteria-style dining concepts like Lemonade in L.A. and Urban Plates in San Diego. Most of our investors are current or former high-level restaurant executives.

27 lies in 38 minutes.
1) ã[G]et us energy independent, North American energy independent. That creates about 4 million jobsã. Romneyãs plan for ãenergy independenceã actually relies heavily on a study that assumes the U.S. continues with fuel efficiency standards set by the Obama administration. For instance, he uses Citigroup research based off the assumption that ããthe United States will continue with strict fuel economy standards that will lower its oil demand.ã Since he promises to undo the Obama administrationãs new fuel efficiency standards, he would cut oil consumption savings of 2 million barrels per day by 2025.
2) ãI donãt have a $5 trillion tax cut. I donãt have a tax cut of a scale that youãre talking about.ã A Tax Policy Center analysis of Romneyãs proposal for a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut in all federal income tax rates, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax, eliminating the estate tax and other tax reductions, would reduce federal revenue $480 billion in 2015. This amount to $5 trillion over the decade.
3) ãMy view is that we ought to provide tax relief to people in the middle class. But Iãm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people.ã If Romney hopes to provide tax relief to the middle class, then his $5 trillion tax cut would add to the deficit. There are not enough deductions in the tax code that primarily benefit rich people to make his math work.
4) ãMy ãmy number-one principal is, there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit. I want to underline that: no tax cut that adds to the deficit.ã As the Tax Policy Center concluded, Romneyãs plan canãt both exempt middle class families from tax cuts and remain revenue neutral. ãHeãs promised all these things and he canãt do them all. In order for him to cover the cost of his tax cut without adding to the deficit, heãd have to find a way to raise taxes on middle income people or people making less than $200,000 a year,ã the Center found.
5) ãI will not under any circumstances raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families. Now, you cite a study. There are six other studies that looked at the study you describe and say itãs completely wrong.ã The studies Romney cites actually further prove that Romney would, in fact, have to raise taxes on the middle class if he were to keep his promise not to lose revenue with his tax rate reduction.
6) ãI saw a study that came out today that said youãre going to raise taxes by $3,000 to $4,000 on middle-income families.ã Romney is pointing to this study from the American Enterprise Institute. It actually found that rather than raise taxes to pay down the debt, the Obama administrationãs policies ãthose contained directly in his budget ãwould reduce the share of taxes that go toward servicing the debt by $1,289.89 per taxpayer in the $100,000 to $200,000 range.
7) ãAnd the reason is because small business pays that individual rate; 54 percent of Americaãs workers work in businesses that are taxed not at the corporate tax rate, but at the individual tax rateãÎ.97 percent of the businesses are not ãnot taxed at the 35 percent tax rate, theyãre taxed at a lower rate. But those businesses that are in the last 3 percent of businesses happen to employ half ãhalf of all the people who work in small business.ã Far less than half of the people affected by the expiration of the upper income tax cuts get any of their income at all from a small businesses. And those people could very well be receiving speaking fees or book royalties, which qualify as ãsmall business incomeã but donãt have a direct impact on job creation. Itãs actually hard to find a small business who think that they will be hurt if the marginal tax rate on income earned above $250,000 per year is increased.
8) ãMr. President, all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not on government land. On government land, your administration has cut the number of permits and licenses in half.ã Oil production from federal lands is higher, not lower: Production from federal lands is up slightly in 2011 when compared to 2007. And the oil and gas industry is sitting on 7,000 approved permits to drill, that it hasnãt begun exploring or developing.
9) ãThe presidentãs put it in place as much public debt ãalmost as much debt held by the public as all prior presidents combined.ã This is not even close to being true. When Obama took office, the national debt stood at $10.626 trillion. Now the national debt is over $16 trillion. That $5.374 trillion increase is nowhere near as much debt as all the other presidents combined.
10) ãThatãs why the National Federation of Independent Businesses said your plan will kill 700,000 jobs. I donãt want to kill jobs in this environment.ã That study, produced by a right-wing advocacy organization,doesnãt analyze what Obama has actually proposed.
11) ãWhat we do have right now is a setting where Iãd like to bring money from overseas back to this country.ã Romneyãs plan to shift the country to a territorial tax system would allow corporations to do business and make profits overseas without ever being taxed on it in the United States. This encourages American companies to invest abroad and could cost the country up to 800,000 jobs.
12) ãI would like to take the Medicaid dollars that go to states and say to a state, youãre going to get what you got last year, plus inflation, plus 1 percent, and then youãre going to manage your care for your poor in the way you think best.ã Sending federal Medicaid funding to the states in the form of a block grant woud significantly reduce federal spending for Medicaid because the grant would not keep up with projected health care costs. A CBO estimate of a very similar proposal from Paul Ryan found that federal spending would be ã35 percent lower in 2022 and 49 percent lower in 2030 than current projected federal spendingã and as a result ãstates would face significant challenges in achieving sufficient cost savings through efficiencies to mitigate the loss of federal funding.ã ãTo maintain current service levels in the Medicaid program, states would probably need to consider additional changes, such as reducing their spending on other programs or raising additional revenues,ã the CBO found.
13) ãI want to take that $716 billion youãve cut and put it back into MedicareãÎ. But the idea of cutting $716 billion from Medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of Obamacare is, in my opinion, a mistake. Thereãs that number again. Romney is claiming that Obamacare siphons off $716 billion from Medicare, to the detriment of beneficiaries. In actuality, that money is saved primarily through reducing over-payments to insurance companies under Medicare Advantage, not payments to beneficiaries. Paul Ryanãs budget plan keeps those same cuts,but directs them toward tax cuts for the rich and deficit reduction.
14) ãWhat I support is no change for current retirees and near-retirees to Medicare.ã Here is how Romneyãs Medicare plan will affect current seniors: 1) by repealing Obamacare, the 16 million seniors receiving preventive benefits without deductibles or co-pays and are saving $3.9 billion on prescription drugs will see a cost increase, 2) ãpremium supportã will increase premiums for existing beneficiaries as private insurers lure healthier seniors out of the traditional Medicare program, 3) Romney/Ryan would also lower Medicaid spending significantly beginning next year, shifting federal spending to states and beneficiaries, and increasing costs for the 9 million Medicare recipients who are dependent on Medicaid.
15) ãNumber two is for people coming along that are young, what I do to make sure that we can keep Medicare in place for them is to allow them either to choose the current Medicare program or a private plan. Their choice. They get to choose ãand theyãll have at least two plans that will be entirely at no cost to them.ã The Medicare program changes for everyone,even people who choose to remain in the traditional fee-for-service. Rather than relying on a guaranteed benefit, all beneficiaries will receive a premium support credit of $7,500 on average in 2023 to purchase coverage in traditional Medicare or private insurance. But that amount will only grow at a rate of GDP plus 1.5 percentage points and will not keep up with health care costs. So while the federal government will spend less on the program, seniors will pay more in premiums.
16) ãAnd, by the way the idea came not even from Paul Ryan or ãor Senator Wyden, whoãs the co-author of the bill with ãwith Paul Ryan in the Senate, but also it came from Bill ãBill Clintonãs chief of staff.ã Romney has rejected the Ryan/Wyden approach ãwhich does not cap the growth of the ãpremium supportã subsidy. Bill Clinton and his commission also voted down these changes to the Medicare program.
17) ãWell, I would repeal and replace it. Weãre not going to get rid of all regulation. You have to have regulation. And there are some parts of Dodd-Frank that make all the sense in the world.ã Romney has previously called for full repeal of Dodd-Frank, a law whose specific purpose is to regulate banks. MF Globalãs use of customer funds to pay for its own trading losses is just one bit of proof that the financial industry isnãt responsible enough to protect consumers without regulation.
18) ãBut I wouldnãt designate five banks as too big to fail and give them a blank check. Thatãs one of the unintended consequences of Dodd-FrankãÎ We need to get rid of that provision because itãs killing regional and small banks. Theyãre getting hurt.ã The law merely says that the biggest, systemically risky banks need to abide by more stringent regulations. If those banks fail, they will be unwound by a new process in the Dodd-Frank law that protects taxpayers from having to pony up for a bailout.
19) ãAnd, unfortunately, when ãwhen ãwhen you look at Obamacare, the Congressional Budget Office has said it will cost $2,500 a year more than traditional insurance. So itãs adding to cost.ã Obamacare will actually provide millions of families with tax credits to make health care more affordable.
20) ã[I]t puts in place an unelected board thatãs going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have. I donãt like that idea.ã The Board, or IPAB is tasked with making binding recommendations to Congress for lowering health care spending, should Medicare costs exceed a target growth rate. Congress can accept the savings proposal or implement its own ideas through a super majority. The panelãs plan will modify payments to providers but it cannot ãinclude any recommendation to ration health care, raise revenues or Medicare beneficiary premiumsãÎ increase Medicare beneficiary cost-sharing (including deductibles, coinsurance, and co- payments), or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteriaã (Section 3403 of the ACA). Relying on health care experts rather than politicians to control health care costs has previously attracted bipartisan support and even Ryan himself proposed two IPAB-like structures in a 2009 health plan.
21) ãRight now, the CBO says up to 20 million people will lose their insurance as Obamacare goes into effect next year. And likewise, a study by McKinsey and Company of American businesses said 30 percent of them are anticipating dropping people from coverage.ã The Affordable Care Act would actually expand health care coverage to 30 million Americans, despite Romney fear mongering. According to CBO director Douglas Elmendorf, 3 million or less people would leave employer-sponsored health insurance coverage as a result of the law.
22) ãI like the way we did it [health care] in MassachusettsãÎWhat were some differences? We didnãt raise taxes.ã Romney raised fees, but he can claim that he didnãt increase taxes because the federal government funded almost half of his reforms.
23) ãItãs why Republicans said, do not do this, and the Republicans had ãhad the plan. They put a plan out. They put out a plan, a bipartisan plan. It was swept aside.ã The Affordable Care Act incorporates many Republican ideas including the individual mandate, state-based health care exchanges, high-risk insurance pools, and modified provisions that allow insurers to sell policies in multiple states. Republicans never offered a united bipartisan alternative.
24) ãPreexisting conditions are covered under my plan.ã Only people who are continuously insured would not be discriminated against because they suffer from pre-existing conditions. This protection would not be extended to people who are currently uninsured.
25) ãIn one year, you provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world. Now, I like green energy as well, but thatãs about 50 yearsã worth of what oil and gas receives.ã The $90 billion was given out over several years and included loans, loan guarantees and grants through the American Recovery Act. $23 billion of the $90 billion ãwent toward ãclean coal,ã energy-efficiency upgrades, updating the electricity grid and environmental clean-up, largely for old nuclear weapons sites.ã
26) ãI think about half of [the green firms Obama invested in], of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business. A number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns.ã As of late last year, only ãthree out of the 26 recipients of 1705 loan guarantees have filed for bankruptcy, with losses estimated at just over $600 million.ã
27) ãIf the presidentãs reelected youãll see dramatic cuts to our military.ã Romney is referring to the sequester, which his running mate Paul Ryan supported. Obama opposes the military cuts and has asked Congress to formulate a balanced approach that would avoid the trigger
That doesn't matter Kissy. HE WON!
WOW! The lies! Why do we want someone who deliberately lies like this? He has no respect, doesn't even care that people know he lies to them and deliberately misleads people. How can anyone be like that?

I think you need to relisten to what Romney said. He is not going to get rid of all regulations. And, we (Obama wasted billions upon billions to green companies they were warned about that weren't fiscally solvent. Sad thing about that, Those companies aren't going to have to pay back the Billions they stole!!!)
Mitt is going to put this country back on track like Reagan did.. In 20 years from now if there is a surpluss it will be because of his policies--you know like what Clinton enjoyed and wasted when he came into office
reply messed up. sorry. Listen to the news Obama telling Federal Contractors this week to committ a Federal crime by not giving notice to employees their going to be laid off until after the Nov. 6 election.. Their supposed to have 60 days notice before a Federal lay off. Further more, he also told those companies he would use our tax payers dollars to pay the lawyer fees for the contractors if the contractors do what Obama's asking to not give the lay off notices until after the election!!!!! Obama the deceiver!!
That's true - he also is not the liar, you been asleep for 4 years?

Re: Starship Enterprise (Alternate Version) "Regeneration"
Apologies folks for the lack of updates. I'd sort of painted myself into a corner, as the next part would be exposition heavy. It took me ages to work up any enthusiasm to get started. And when I
write something it, not to put too fine a point on it, sucked big time.
Trying to re-write it to make it interesting was a daunting task, so I simply abandoned it entirely and took a new approach. So it's coming along, but not as fast as I'd like. Again, I'm sorry for the delay, but at least now I'm making some progress.
And that's a very nice pic
. Very Polly-ish!
