Gabby Douglas' Ex-Gym Denies Claim of Bullying, Racism: "We Are Good People"
by Natalie Finn Today 4:54 PM PDT
Gabby Douglas told Oprah Winfrey that she had a different experience than her fellow gymnasts when she used to train in Virginiaand not in a good way.
But the head of her former gymnasium in Virginia Beach and the people she trained with maintain that they have no idea what Douglas is talking about.
"Gabby's remarks were hurtful and without merit," Excalibur Gymnastics CEO Gustavo Maure said in a statement to E! News in response to the 16-year-old's claim that she felt "bullied and isolated from the group," possibly because she Is black.
"We've had more African Americans in elite and on the national team than any other gym in the country (5, 2 of them in Olympic Trials or Olympic Team Camp)," Maure continued. "Her African American former teammates will answer this serious accusation. (1st statement untruth, she was not the only African American gymnast training in the gym) We are good people. We never were knowingly involved in any type of bullying or racist treatment, like she is accusing Excalibur."
Another athlete who trained at Excalibur for eight years (two of them alongside Douglas, she said) stated that Douglas' comments were "absolutely ridiculous."
"The accusations that are being made against the gymnasts and coaches are just sickening," Randy Stageburg wrote to Gymnewstics.com. "I watched [head coach Dena Walker] and Gustavo put so much of their time and effort into gabby and the other athletes, no matter their race.
"Gabby was never a victim, in fact many would say she was one of the favorites," Stageburg continued. "I am not saying that she never felt bullied because when you are in a sport with a bunch of girls it is bond [sic] to happen. However, anything that she may have felt was never about race and I can assure you everyone at some point has felt bullied. I never once heard her complain about girls being mean, funny how it is just now coming up."
Additionally, the mother of a former Douglas teammate wrote on the gym's Facebook page that her daughter and the future Olympian were close friends and also posted a picture of the two girls.
"I don't claim to know everything that happened in the situation with the gym and and its gymnast who is now an Olympic athlete, but I do know that my daughter loved her like a sister for 7 years," wrote Kim Hedeland. "They were often partnered during training and slept in the same room during travel meets. They attended birthday parties and sleepovers together...My daughter says that she was one of her best friends at the gym and was very sad when she left."
"I wish to defend the children that trained with her and supported her when she attacks them with these allegations," Moure, the CEO, continued. "Is Gabrielle a credible person just because she is an Olympic Champion? She is not giving any names or dates, leading us to believe that the accusation is fake. This wouldn't be the first time that the media has made up a story. Thousands of gymnasts and families have supported our good conduct and our professionalism during the last 30 years."
Supporters of Douglas wrote on Excalibur's page, as well, with one woman writing, "I find it really gross that a gym run by, apparently adults, would come out of the gate and defame and publicly ridicule a 16-year old young woman for speaking of her experiences with other female gymnasts."

Did anyone really believe her, she started this crap on Oprah.
Sad really, she is an accomplished young woman, and these stupid claims will damage her.
And so it begins!
I wasn't surprised. That is a cutthroat way of life. Anything will be said to gain an advantage.
You'll notice they always hug each other like it is painful.
The last response is priceless: How dare you defend yourself against the accusations of a teen female protected class!
VA Ping!
If you want on/off the VA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
Im not going to say that anybody is lying, because it may all be a contextual misunderstanding.
It may be that somebody used the word, "slave", to mean work hard and sacrifice. Gabby may have understood the term in a different way.
Thanks, Oprah, for helping to ruin her career...
I wonder where she came up with the idea? /s
Gabby Douglas to Oprah: I was 'bullied,' called 'slave' during early gymnastics training in Virginia
Gabby Douglas, who took home the gold for her individual performance and for her work as part of the American team, tells the talk show host that things got so bad, she threatened to quit.
She recalled a specific example of racism. One of my teammates was like, Could you scrape the bar? she remembered. And they were like, Why doesnt Gabby do it, shes our slave?
I was the only African-American at that gym, Gabby went on. I definitely felt isolated. Why am I deserving this? Is it because Im black? those thoughts were going through my mind.
Gabby appeared on Oprahs show Sunday with her mother, Natalie Hawkins, who recalled how her daughter told her about the cruel treatment on several occasions.
Can't say I've been riveted to this kerfuffle, but it looks like Big Okra and Little Gabby are overplaying their high stakes racial poker hand big time. Did they not envision someone might just call their bluff?
I had doubts about this story when I first heard it. I have been around quite a few hard core racists and I don't think I ever heard them use the word "slave" when talking about black people. I've heard a lot of other terms but never "slave".
Hey Oprah I'm sure your going to bring those people onto your show to defend their position!!! Not!!!!!!!
so when she praised God and had her straight etc the left hated her as did the black community but all of a sudden she now says this and now is in favor again, mmmmmmmm. what a massive coincidence and done on the racist Oprah
Very sad.
Oprah just may be evil.
So sad, Gabby could have been an olympic gold-medalist if she hadn't have been a victim of white oppression.....oh, wait.....
And what about how low Winfrey has sunk since leaving her big-bucks network gig? Her solo ventures are flying about like a lead balloon.
"Don't you do it Gabby, unless you want to see Mom and Dad hanging from a tree... keep going to Excalibur, and they'll maybe stay alive."
I went to school in the South. One girl in our class was not very nice to anyone. She was standoffish and didn't make an effort to socialize, instead preferring to have one friend while ignoring the rest of us.
So, in the 90's, I am on a computer trying to find my childhood best friend on google and once successful, started looking up others in my class. I came across a link with this girl's name. She was a guest speaker at a Jewish function. I read her bio and was stunned to find that she claimed that she was a victim of antisemitism growing up, specifically her classmates. Well, no one really knew what Judaism stood for, it was a religion and we didn't discuss anyone's religion. We knew who we saw in our pews and that was that. So, discussing this with my mother, she said the only way this woman could feel of any worth was to play the victim card. (Oh, and this woman also claimed she started the first synagoge in our town- another lie)
My point is that these things need to be taken at face value. If I was a teammate of Gabby's, I would stand up to this if it was a lie. They are young and just starting in life and these charges will stick for a lifetime.
But, somewhere, MO is in the corner, arms crossed, smiling approvingly. She of the great racial divide.
Apparently somebody forgot to tell Gabby you wait until the multimillion dollar endorsement deals and appearance fees start to dwindle before playing the race card.
On the video at your link, it seemed that Oprah and Gabby's mother brought up the subject. What a shame they had to bring it up. Maybe some bullying did occur - some bullying occurs everywhere to everyone. It's a sad fact of life. But, by bringing it up, now they placed Gabby in the middle of a conflict.
The Joe Biden School of Gymnastics
looks like she has been well coached by Oprah and Michelle.
looks like she has been well coached by Oprah and Michelle.
Stupid of Gabby to start playing the race card. She appeared like a winner and now sounds more like a weak whiner.
It didn't take Orca Windbag long to make it a racist issue. How dare a black do good without throwing racism into the mix.
Orca is an angry lesbian racist. She just had to make sure Gabby "represents"!
That is a strange coincidence isn't it? Also maybe there IS something to the award ceremony where she didn't look too proud during the Star Spangled Banner and it was mentioned here. Just saying... Maybe Gabby will have a Michelle Obama moment and say "I haven't been proud of this country until I met Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey."
This is the kind of crap that will eventually make people racists. It gets more unbearable every day.
Next on Oprah...
Gabby's 'Other Mother' Missy Patron (where she lived in Iowa) is a racist too...
Well of course to have any cred in black society, one has to have been dissed and bullied sometime in the past no matter how successful and celebrated in the present.....
You are absolutely correct. I noticed those pathetic looking hugs myself. Only the US team seemed to have that problem. All the other nations seemed to have heartfelt, warm hugs for their team members. But the US, with their little fingertip pats on the back, looked awful.
I would not even try to judge whether the people at that gym were "good" or not, but I do believe people there may have said what they did for their own purposes.
I did not hear the part about her being the only African American in the gym. I need louder speakers. Because if she said that, it's a big whopper. I am gonna have to change computers and listen again.
That's a better clip of the interview. Again, I did not hear anything about Gabrielle Douglas being the only black gymnast in that gym. I wish they had the entire thing posted.
I have read a number of comments from her previous coaches, and I am so not impressed. I do not think they are racists, and neither Gabrielle nor her mother claimed they are. Gabby felt like she needed a different coaching style, and she pursued that. Money is a factor in all of this, and it is a shame that Excalibur coaches cannot rise above their anger that Gabby left them. They should be happy they trained her as long as they did and that she reached their goal for her. Now she can repay them. If they were more gracious, they could reap greater rewards by having her come to the gym. But they have been anything but gracious. They have acted like spoiled children who had their favorite toy taken away.
I noticed that about the national anthem, but I was hoping I was wrong. Good grief - this young lady had the chance to represent the US in London - stay with a Caucasian family who seem to have really cared about her.
Did I ever get teased - yes, and so did every one I've ever met.
Get over yourself Gabby and quit whining or your golden egged goose is gonna keel over.
Very dissapointing.
The backbiting and undercutting are well-known in that circle. Nothing surprises me. I am surprised that people are surprised.
And comments are not going to help her gain endorsements. Can she be that stupid or was she talked into this by Oprah?
this country has become a country of people wanting to play victim.
When I used to watch the airhead bimbo Megyn Kelly she was saying she was bullied,
Everyone has been called a name, so what move on, it;'s a frigging name, big deal and if they let people fight back instead of ratting , then the bully will know who not to pick on.
Fed up of hearing how everyone plays the victim.The left and the homostapo does this all the time, They do these actions and then plays vctim.
African American, I hate that ignroant comment put out by the PC lefty crowd.
Whites are also African and Whites from African become American, thus they are really African American as well as blacks from Africa.
The blacks who have ancestors over here and born over here over a hundred years ago have no African in them.
Ah... Thanks for posting a link to more of the interview. The rest of what was said was a bit more balanced than the little bit we saw in the first clip. But the part about the other girls being a bad influence... well, that's probably why the other parents are angry. It's a shame the issue was even mentioned in a televised interview because it put this young girl in the middle of a conflict now.
I remember seeing an interview in which Gabrielle's mother praised the mom in Iowa for embracing her daughter as one of her own. Maybe there really was some kind of problem at the first gym. Girls can be mean to each other, as we all know. ;-) But, to address the subject on TV... well... probably not a good idea.
The bad influence part is in reference to gymnastics form. Gustavo would have separated her because she was that much better than her same age peers. He did not want her to be like them. If other parents don't like that then that is too bad. Elite gymnastics is Elite for a reason. The coaches at Excalibur are very good. But they have a history with Elite girls. Maybe Gabby would have made it with them coaching her. Gabby did. It believe that would have happened. And it all comes down to mental toughness in the end. She found that mental toughness elsewhere. Maybe she needed to be away from her family and her old gym in order to remove those little distractions from her mind. She might not even realize the part about her family. Regardless, Gabrielle Christina Victoria did the work, and she won. Good for her! Shame on Oprah!
That should have said Gabby did not believe . . .
Stupid auto correct. And stupid me for not reading what the computer wrote before I posted. LOL
Thanks for posting that additional information. Maybe Douglas, as a younger teen, misunderstood the coach's intentions. And, if she was a favorite there, maybe there was some jealousy from the other students. Maybe that was the reason behind her feeling "isolated." Who knows. But you're right - shame on Oprah for bringing it up.

The list is divided into three areas: pubs currently open, pubs that are listed or rumoured as about to open, and those now no longer owned by JD Wetherspoon.
All comments, updates and corrections welcome.
John Adams, email@example.com, 8th December 2003.
There is now only one website run by JD Wetherspoon given a major revamp towards the end of 2015: http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/ provides information about the JD Wetherspoon pubs. The pub locator there has been much improved over the years. It lists all the details about the pubs including the history of the name as well as the usual address details. Hotels can now be searched for from the main site along with booking forms, they no longer have their own website. They are noted on this list by (WL) after their name.
An email list has been started at Yahoo! groups for enthusiasts of JD Wetherspoon pubs, and has been quite useful in confirming new openings, locations of pubs, and suggested pub crawls along with transport information. Please join up and join in. You can find the email list by going to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wetherspoons/ and joining up with your Yahoo! profile.
Finally, thanks to those that have personally provided information and updates to the list. It is good to see that this list has been found useful by others!

Last updated: Wednesday 20rh April 2016.
Those that have opened and have been verified on the JD Wetherspoon mailing list will be noted as such, and when they finally appear in the JD Wetherspoon newsletter as open, along with full details, then they will be moved to the main section. Those that I have been to before they appear in the newsletter will be moved to the main section, they are very obviously open!
Information and rumours of new sites are welcome to augment the list, but more often than not these days, a lot of ear marked sites are delayed or sold on to other pub companies as JD Wetherspoon open less new pubs per year.
The JD Wetherpoon website lists forthcoming branches: https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/opening-soon
Those in ordinary text are those that I have been to as JD Wetherspoon pubs. Those in italics and with the location underlined are those that I have visited since they were sold by JD Wetherspoon. Those in just italics are those that I have not been to.
Many thanks to those that have added and researched the information below.
Appeal for Information: Bodmin. I have received a couple of emails stating that there used to be a JD Wetherspoon pub in Bodmin, Cornwall. It was called the Cornish Soldier, and was located near to the Victoria Barracks. It is now a nightclub called Eclipse. Has anyone got any concrete information about the pub as I don't have any recollection of it ever appearing on any of JD Wetherspoon pub lists. Thanks! John, Feb 2006. Update: I visited the site in May 2010 and it is highly unlikely it was ever a JD Wetherspoon pub. It is about half a mile out of town beyond the station and is in a very unlikely location for such a pub. It is generally thought that Bury St Edmunds was the first pub out of London.
Total number of former JD Wetherspoon pubs = 124.
Number of the above I have been to as JD Wetherspoon pubs = 105.
Number of the above I have been to since sold by JD Wetherspoon = 17.
Number of the above I have not been to = 2.

My favourite cookbook is the River Cottage Family book because it is so incredibly sweet! All the recipes are written for children so that the whole family can cook together! Plus, it's a brilliant collection of basic recipes; soda bread, pizza bread, meringues,flapjacks, brownies (er…you can see what I like doing!). It's really brilliant. I know that there are other cookbooks that have more sophisticated recipes that are challenging and inspiring ("Plenty" anyone?) but I don't know of any other cookbook that has moved me to tears (it's so sweet…).

hi, YouTube. I just wanted to say that the new uploader is great. I love the fact that you can know exactly how long your video upload will take. That has been a long time in the making, I am sure, but it certainly helps a lot. Great innovations, once again.

Thank you ESPN pro f-ball experts for ALL of you picking a team with six losses to win, on the road, over a team with three losses. This wasn't about the Saints losing, it was about the Bears crushing the Saints. This was not close. Thanks for your complete ignorance and motivating the Bears as they try to win their 10th football championship. Hope you pick the Colts 100% as well. Da Bearzzzz!!!!
Gotta say I am going with the Colts. To much MAN ning power. Grossman will gross out. Bears Defense could suprise though. AFC is a stronger league than NFC and I am a NFC man AHH..Pig.Da Pig
You and everyone else is picking the Colts. Just like everyone picked NO. I'd call it even to plus 3 for the Colts. Don't understand the plus 7 as the current line. The Colts' defense couldn't play second string on the Bears. But, they've got a hell of an offense!
Who cares which team from fly-over country beats which other team from fly-over country. either way the commercials will suck. although hopefully we'll see some LCD spots from the bigger players.
The Colts defense will stop the bears offense. It's been weak all season, and they've relied on the D to get them where they're at. Now that D (which isn't very good against the pass) faces Peyton. Unless the Bears can mount an outstanding running game (like the Ravens did... and they still lost), the Bears won't be doing any partying. I'm a Dolphins fan, so it doesn't matter either way... Just thought I'd share...
< The Colts defense will stop the bears offense. >Well, the Colts defense, which was the worst one in the NFL up to a few weeks ago, may continue to improve. But, then again, they may regress back to what they are which is subpar. I'm a Colts' fan as well. When I was a kid, Johnny U was my football hero and I have always believed that John Mackay was the greatest tight end who ever played even though Ditka was the first to get into the Hall. Time will tell. Bear fans are far from braggarts with this team so you won't get many of us into debate. We understand their limitations. But, if the Steelers did it last year as a wild-card, the Bears certainly have a chance as the number one NFC seed. BTW, we are still pissed at your team for spoiling our '85 perfect record.

Selma downtown to host tours againPublished 8:06pm Thursday, April 4, 2013
Several downtown areas across the state will be featured in special walking tours throughout the month of April — Selma included.
The tours, which became an annual April tradition by the Alabama Tourism Department 10 years ago, are part of an effort to spotlight historic districts throughout the state.
"We're actually the only state in the nation that holds statewide walking tours," said Brian Jones, regional director of travel for the state department. "What they're designed to do is kind of give people an informative, nice walk through historic districts."
Selma's walking tour will be held this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. at the Selma-Dallas County Public Library. Ward 3 Councilman Greg Bjelke will give the tour.
Jones said although tours are given in some of Alabama's larger cities like Montgomery and Mobile, the tours are great for smaller towns because they spotlight businesses and downtown attractions.
"It's really a way to introduce visitors to the downtown area and to reacquaint some of the people who live in the city with their downtown," he said. "It's also a great way to drive some traffic through the downtown area."
In all, 23 cities are participating in the month of tours, held every Saturday at 10 a.m.
Sheryl Smedley, executive director for the Selma-Dallas County Chamber of Commerce, said Selma has participated in the tours since they began 10 years ago.
"It's a good way for not only visitors but for the community to come out and learn interesting things about Selma," Smedley said.
Beginning at the library, the tour will weave through downtown, highlighting historic areas, Smedley said. City hall, the St. James Hotel, Songs of Selma Park and Victorian downtown architecture are just a few features that will be spotlighted during the tour.
And other than learning the history of Selma's downtown, Smedley said the walking tour also offers a great way to practice healthy living.
"This is just another initiative for healthy lifestyles in our community," she said. "It should be great time and I encourage everyone to come out."
There is no cost for the tour.

When I am not on the master branch, git sometimes complains
"You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you want to merge with, and 'branch.basics.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me, either. Please specify which branch you want to use on the command line and try again (e.g. 'git pull '). See git-pull(1) for details."
Just wondering if it is possible to configure git so it does always merge with the associated remote branch from origin. As an example: If I am at branch basics (which I currently am ;-) ) and I make a git pull. Now I want git to fetch this branch from origin and merge it with the same local branch.
Cheers, Rudolf

MANLIUS — Both the Hall and Princeton boys basketball teams lived to fight another day Monday at the Class 2A Bureau Valley Regional — just not the way they had hoped.After multiple stoppages due to a brown-out and flickering gymnasium lights caused by blizzard conditions outside, play between the Red Devils and Tigers was finally halted with Hall up 46-41 at 1:05 left in the contest and Hall's Danny Nolasco at the foul stripe for the second of two free throws.The two squads will return to Manlius at 6 tonight to finish the final 65 seconds of the postseason play-in contest and see who will earn the right to face top-seeded Seneca on Wednesday.Play was initially interrupted at the 2:39 mark of the fourth quarter with Princeton's Cole Evenson at the foul line as the BV gym's lighting system resembled a discotheque with cycling lights creating a strobe effect.Action resumed 11 minutes later before another quick stoppage with 2:32 left.Multiple restarts and delays followed before referees elected to bring a stop to the contest over concerns of players' safety.The last 1:34 of game time before the stoppage took roughly an hour, and the scene courtside carried a strong similarity to the recent Super Bowl delay with players milling about waiting for play to be resumed."I told (Hall assistant) Cody (Burroughs) that we've gone through pretty much everything this year with different kids quitting and weird scenarios, and this pretty much tops it off," said Hall coach Mike Filippini, who said he had not seen a similar situation play out in his 16 years with the Hall girls and boys hoops programs.Filippini said delaying the game may have a negative affect for the winner."It's a five-point game and we're shooting a free throw. We've got to come back for a minute. Me and Jesse (Brandt) both wanted to play (during a span where the lights were partially on and not flashing), but they wouldn't let us," Filippini said. "It's going to be tough for whoever wins — they can't prepare for Seneca. That's going to put them behind, but we're going to do the best we can."Brandt said it was tough to have the game stopped when the flickering appeared to subside and the court was lit — albeit dim and uneven — but felt that officials were looking out for the players' safety first and foremost."They were erring on the side of caution. It made sense. If the lights were flashing I didn't want to play. I'd feel real bad if Hall missed one of their free throws down the stretch because it was dark at their end. We had decent lights on our end, but nobody wants to win or lose in that fashion," Brandt said.The two squads battled to a 31-31 tie after three quarters before Hall managed to eek out a bit of breathing room helped by 11 fourth-quarter free throws.Hall's Brett Fanning leads all scorers with 25 points — 11 from the foul stripe — to go with a team-best eight rebounds.Austen Stewart leads the Tigers with 11 points, including 3-of-8 shooting on 3-pointers. Evenson has 11 to go with a game-best 10 rebounds.Both teams plan on a holding a shoot-around this afternoon before hopping back on the bus to close out the final 1:05 of the contest."The strategy is Danny is going to practice free throws all day long (today), since he's at the line," Filippini joked. "And Jesse (Brandt) will probably draw up the greatest three-point play in the history of basketball so we're going to have to try to stop it. He's got a lot of time to prepare."Note: With 1,208 career points, Fanning is just one tally away from topping Hall legend Rollie Himes and moving into second place on the Red Devils all-time scoring list.

We haven't done one of these in a while, and I'm waiting for some responses about some contemplated posts and am generally lazy, so let's give this another shot.
Have you written a blog post you're proud of? Created some art that moves you? Gotten mentioned in the newspaper in a non-humiliating way? Found something you want to promote? The comments are open. Promote yourself, your kids, your friends, your bizarre and frankly disturbing social and political interests (within reasonable decorum, please). Have at it.

i tried that but still no luck... a friend just gave me a suggestion which did work and that was to create another "contact group" and use this group instead of "favorites"....this worked..

This is not working correctly for me either. When I have it set to allow favorites, favorites do NOT ring. Had to switch the setting to allow everyone. Going to try the new contact group solution to see if that works.
Adam McMaster Oct 17, 2012 2:31 PM
in response to shaggydoug
I had the same problem. It seems to work after setting it to allow calls from no-one, then changing it back to favorites after a few seconds.

Chelsea have beaten Liverpool 2-1 to win the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
Chelsea football captain John Terry has commented on their FA Cup win tonight saying that there had been 'tough competition'. Terry said:
It's fantastic, it's what we live for. We spoke about winning yesterday and we've had a tough competition in the FA Cup this season and we've won it was a great performance.
At times people have slated us as too old, past it or not together but as a team we come together and unite when our backs are against the wall and we've done that superbly in the last 16 or 17 games. We've still got a massive trophy, the Champions League that's the target for the owner from day dot. We've done Robbie world of good and it can do him no harm".

Finger Basketball
By Bluesky Studio
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Play basketball with your fingertip. Aim and shoot the basket, 3 minutes a round.
There are two ways to shoot out ball. One is by flip gesture, put finger on the ball and flip to the direction your want, the speed of ball is corresponding to the speed of flip. The second way is by tap, the nearer to ball's edge, the stronger throw. After put finger on ball, a crosshair will show current angle and speed, move finger on ball to adjust them and lift finger to shoot.
You can also preset a constant speed for easy control, the value can be adjusted at board on top-left corner.
Tips: Use wall to bounce ball, especially the wall at right side.

Got Wolverine's head from an auction site, decided before I got the head that I will make him into Wolverine in civilian clothes and with bone claws. Popped out the head of the Stargate dude then put Wolverine's head. His jeans were a little too tight at the bottom so I made it a bit more straight cut by sculpting. Used the same material for making them bone claws. Wrapped some masking tape as bandages for his hands. Painted the jeans from khakki to blue and shirt from black into white. Changed his skin tone and tried my hand in putting Wolverine's hairy arms as well as his growing mustache and beard. Hope you guys liked it... comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Modelling 49, No. 7-8, 1283-1287 (2009). Summary: This paper advances the fundamental understanding in mathematical and computational modelling of discrete fracture networks (Type I). It presents a systematic procedure to solve the most important problem in modelling by global optimization - objective function formulation, which negates guesswork in objective function formulation by automatic selection of highly ranked components and their corresponding weighting factors. The procedure starts from real data to identify potential components of the objective function. The components are then ranked by fuzzy sensitivity analysis, based on their effects on the final objective function value and simulation convergence. The final fracture network inversion is subsequently realized and validated. Results of the study provide an explanation why previous methods such as stochastic simulations are not sufficiently reliable, compared to global optimization methods.

A moveable play in Albert LeaPublished 10:46am Thursday, July 25, 2013
For a town with an already vibrant theater scene, Albert Lea will get a special treat this weekend.
Professional and local actors united for the production of "The Visit," a dark comedy by Friedrich Durrenmatt. The show will have the audience moving around and watching scenes all over the Freeborn County Historical Society. Production Manager Nancy Waldoch of Minneapolis said the show has lots of fun characters.
"It's a town full of really quirky characters who also have a human side," Waldoch said.
Also special is that the audience is split into three sections who go on to see three different scenes during the second act.
"If you came Thursday, Friday and Saturday you would have the potential to see a different show each night," Waldoch said.
Having "The Visit" at the Freeborn County Historical Village is possible through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and through appropriation from the state's arts and cultural heritage fund. The show will move onto Blue Earth and East Grand Forks after visiting Albert Lea.
Also special are the professional actors and directors known for their work on stages in the Twin Cities. Local performers have been working with them this week to rehearse for the show. Rosalie Truax, co-president of Albert Lea Community Theatre, plays a townsperson in the show and said it was fun to watch professionals work.
"We're certainly learning a lot about directing and acting," Truax said.
Another Albert Lean, Beverly Cotter, heard about auditions and thought she would go just for fun. She's new to the area and said the play has been a fun way to get to know people.
"It's not a big role, but it's fun," Cotter said.
"The Visit" is a dark comedy that explores the values, choices and consequences of characters in a small town that is trying to survive. The play's prevailing question asks how far the town will go to save itself. Audience members will be led to areas on at the Freeborn County Historical Village where they will watch the scenes unfold from a close range.
The show will be about 90 minutes. It's suitable for ages 13 and older because there is some adult humor. "The Visit" debuts at 7 p.m. tonight and continues at 7 p.m. Friday, 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students; cash or check will be accepted at the door for tickets.

What: "The Visit"
Where: Freeborn County Historical Village

Greenspan Admits The Fed's Plan Was Always To Push Stocks HigherSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/18/2016 14:20 -0400

Bundesbank Defies Elites: Warns That "Plans To Abolish, Criminalize Cash Out Of Line With Freedom"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/17/2016 17:35 -0400
With everyone from ivory tower academics to sin-street hookers proclaiming the need for and benefits of a "war on cash" to save the world from criminals and tax-evaders (oh yeah and to stop NIRP-driven savers from hording cash and crushing central planners' dreams), it is perhaps shocking that Bundesbank board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele warned at an event this week that the attempt to abolish and criminalize cash is out of line with freedom. He said that citizens should continue to decide how and in what form they want to use their money.
Kyle Bass On The Resurgence Of Gold And The Looming "Run On Cash"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/16/2016 21:25 -0400
"I think this is where the academics are kind of clashing with the practitioners. I think on paper negative rates make a lot of sense if you're running academic models, but in reality they make no sense... If they told you and I that they're going to tax your deposits by a hundred basis points, well it's better to put it in a safe or under your mattress. And that's why you see a resurgence in gold. The more they move to negative rates, the more gold is gonna take off because there's no carrying cost."
"I Used To Be A Big Deal... And Then A Billion Dollars Walked Out The Door" - Hugh Hendry's Sad StorySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/10/2016 20:45 -0400
"A funny thing happened at the end of 2013 I wrote a letter to my new clients and I began with the preface "what if I was to tell you that I'd become bullish on equities; is that something you'd be interested in." The resounding message no. A billion dollars walked out the door.... "What, really, you're bullish?" - Hugh Hendry
Stanley Druckenmiller: "This Is The Most Unsustainable Situation I Have Seen In My Career"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2016 18:27 -0400
"when I look at the current picture of expected tax revenues combined with benefits promised to future generations, this is the most unsustainable situation I have seen ever in my career." The disaster that Druckenmiller sees coming for the United States is all about changing demographics and entitlement spending. They don't add up to a sustainable situation. Fixing this is going to require some real sacrifice by the American people and that doesn't sound like a very appealing platform upon which to get re-elected.
Gold Soars 16% In Q1 - Best Start To A Year In 42 YearsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/31/2016 14:25 -0400
Gold's 16.1% surge in Q1 2016 ias the best start to a year since 1974. Overall, this is the best quarter since Q3 1986 and is the best performing major commodity of the year. Gold rallied this year as it cemented its status as a store of value amid financial market turbulence and concern about the global economy, which led to speculation that the Federal Reserve would pause on tightening monetary policy in the U.S. Having seen BlackRock's gold ETF halted due to inability to meet physical demand, it appears pet rocks and barbarous relics are 'worth' something after all.

The Hong Kong Dollar: A Speculators GraveyardSubmitted by Steve H. Hanke on 03/17/2016 10:18 -0400
Authored by Steve H. Hanke of The Johns Hopkins University. Follow him on Twitter @Steve_Hanke.
Since 1983, when Hong Kong adopted its currency board system, speculative bets against the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) have ended in the graveyard. Just ask Bill Ackerman. He bet the house in a 2011 attach on the HKD, and he lost big. Now, it's reported that the likes of George Soros and Kyle Bass are rolling the dice against the HKD. They will lose, too.
This Is What Wall Street Thinks Of China's FX Trading TaxSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2016 13:35 -0400
Last night we reported that the PBoC is now considering a Tobin tax on FX transactions. The follows reports that a series of big name money managers - or, as China calls them "predators," and "crocodiles" - have placed outsized bets against the yuan. Here's what analysts think of the PBoC's latest move to crush the "speculators."
Making Sense of CentsSubmitted by globalintelhub on 03/15/2016 01:06 -0400
Forex remains to be the largest market in the world and the least understood. Central banks have more influence on global markets than any other force. In other words, monetary policy is the ONLY economic indicator(s) investors should be watching, because let's face it, if the Fed raised rates to 10% like they should do and called in all that QE money, stocks would collapse.
But yet Forex remains a mystery, something that someone may have mentioned or you heard about.. wait FX is a TV channel? or graphics? a movie?
Having Killed Their Equity Market, China Unleashes "Tobin Tax" For FX MarketSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2016 22:32 -0400
In September last year, Chinese regulators stepped on the throat of a 'fair' market in equity futures trading and for all intent and purpose killed the Chinese equity market. Tonight - after 2 days of Yuan weakness - having warned everyon from Soros to Kyle Bass that "betting against the Yuan can't possibly work," The PBOC just unleashed plans for so-called "Tobin Tax" on FX transactions (which implicitly taxes each transaction, reducing liquidity, raising margins and reducing leverage).

China: A 5-Year Plan And 50 Million Jobs LostSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2016 14:52 -0400
China never had an actual economic model or growth model. It simply printed an obscene amount of money, especially after 2008, and used it to build factories, 30-storey see-through apartment blocks and highways into nowhere cities, without giving much if any thought to where this would lead when their formerly rich western customers had less to spend on its ever increasing amount of ever more useless products. It was "to infinity and beyond" from the start, but that's a line from a kids' fantasy story, not a 5-year plan or an economic model.
Japan Braces For A "Turbulent, Volatile" 10-Year Auction With First Ever Negative Yield On DeckSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/29/2016 22:44 -0400
"We expect the10y JGB auction on the 1st to be a new issue with a 0.1% coupon, but auction yields are likely to go into negative territory. We do not expect the bank sector to buy, and demand from dealers and foreign investors is unlikely to provide sufficient support. We expect the auction to be turbulent given investors are also unlikely to short futures and the possibility of a tail. "
