Mighty Cast
At Mighty Cast, we think sharing is cool.
We believe that the more we can share experiences, passions, and creativity with each other, at home and around the world, the more we all get out of life. That's why we created the NEX band - technology that lets you wear your life.
NEX is the nexus of digital and physical connections. While most tech wristbands on the market today focus on fitness and health, the NEX lets you interact with all your passions, from friends to music to gaming to movies to sports - and so much more. The wristband works with specially designed, collectible "Mod" charms that are physical objects connected to the cloud. Mods take virtual, mobile experiences to the real world and back again, giving wearers objects to share, play, and interact with in the physical space.
Mighty Cast creates experiences that are naturally viral and inherently collectible. Our proprietary, patent-pending "Base and Token technology" connects physical, low-cost collectibles to Bluetooth Low Energy bases in a bi-directional fashion. We're excited to work with companies looking to monetize their brand in the physical world. Our turnkey platform has an API and SDK for easy brand integration; companies can add their own Mod charms to the NEX platform, or create their own Base and Token product. We offer end-to-end solutions from concept to manufacturing, and anywhere in between.
Mighty Cast is venture-backed, and we'll soon be announcing some incredible partnerships and AAA licenses. While we got our start in San Francisco, we were drawn to the fair city of Montréal, an environment rich in gaming, engineering, and creativity, where people embrace emerging technologies wholeheartedly. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and share your story with us!

Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge (7,885 acres)is located in Flathead County 40 miles west of Kalispell, approximately a one-hour drive on gravel and paved roads. Lost Trail NWR was acquired in August, 1999 and is the 519th Refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Prior to acquisition, refuge lands were privately owned and managed as the cattle and horse ranch known as Lost Trail Ranch. The ranch's long and diverse history of cattle ranching dates back to the late 1800's.
The habitat diversity of the Refuge supports a wide variety of wildlife species. At least 14 species of migratory and breeding waterfowl utilize wetland areas. These include mallard, gadwall, cinnamon teal, green-winged teal, lesser scaup, wood duck, redhead, common goldeneye and Canada geese. Various species of marsh and shorebirds are present during the summer months. These include grebes, herons, gulls, killdeer, sandhill cranes, dowitchers, sandpipers, common snipe, bitterns and black terns.
Upland game bird species include spruce grouse, blue grouse and ruffed grouse. The Refuge lies within the historic range of the Columbian sharp-tailed grouse. Raptor species such as northern harriers, red-tailed hawks, Swainson's hawks, American kestrels and great-horned owls are present.
Resident mammal species include white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, moose and black bear. Furbearers include fisher, pine martin, Canada lynx, wolverine and bobcat. Muskrat, badger and Columbian ground squirrels are also present on the Refuge. The threatened grizzly bear and the endangered gray wolf are known to inhabit the Pleasant Valley Area.
Public use activities that are currently allowed include hunting, wildlife observation, wildlife photography, and environmental education.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Construction is expected to begin soon on a project to house 1,200 students in Eugene, the home of the University of Oregon.
The City Council voted 6-2 Wednesday to grant an Alabama developer a tax break for the $89 million downtown project.
The Capstone project was proposed four months ago and was met with questions about how it would be managed and whether it was a good idea to concentrate so many students downtown.
The developers agreed to a two-phase construction timetable and to having managers on the site. A majority of council members said they were reassured.
The Eugene Register-Guard reports (http://bit.ly/IF1TYZ ) that the tax breaks will be worth $8.5 million over 10 years.

Trip Report: 014
Flight Category: Y-DSR (See Report End)
Date: 08-Oct-06
Dep.Arr.Time: 1420/1505/00:45hrs
Flight: KINGFISHER, IT 432, 154 miles
Routing: IXA (Agartala/India) – GAU (Guwahati/India)
Aircraft: 319
Seat: Economy, 1A
I > Background:
Part of a month long amazing passage to India for a wedding, with some stops in Asia to see friends. Routing was CCS-MIA-EWR-SIN-CGK-SIN-CCU-DEL-CCU-BOM-CCU-IXZ-CCU-IXA-GAU-CCU-SIN-ICN-YYZ-EWR-CCS with a mix of J and Y class of travel. This focuses on the IT segment from IXA to GAU. IXA is Agartala, the capital of the eastern Indian state of Tripura; GAU is another city in eastern India and the capital of the state of Assam. Other trip reports for this trip will be EWR-SIN (SQ/J-Cabin), SIN-CGK (KI), CGK-SIN (VF), CCU-DEL (SG), DEL-CCU (IC), CCU-BOM (S2), IXZ-CCU (DN), CCU-IXA (CD), GAU-CCU (6E), CCU-SIN (SQ/J-Cabin), and ICN-YYZ (AC/J-Cabin). I think these reports will be "firsts" for revenue flights on CD, IT (mainline) and 6E and cover IXA, GAU, IXZ-CCU, and CCU-DEL for the first time on Airliners.Net.

Kingfisher is the much-lauded airline that was formed by alcohol baron Vijay Mallya and seeks to end Jet Airways' dominance as the best airline in India.
Booking was made through IT's website at www.flykingfisher.com. While the layout of the site might not be completely intuitive, the booking process is extremely easy and it gives you the option to book/change/modify reservations, and even make seat selections. Ticket prices on the sector were on the higher end (in keeping with IT's philosophy of better service) and were available in e-ticket format. You could also take the PNR to the airport and have it printed by the APO prior to entering the airport.
b) At Airport:
Agartala airport is small and made for a few daily flights. While the outside conforms to IADS, the inside is surprisingly cheerful and the staff (from security to check-in) extremely courteous and friendly. I had arrived an hour before check-in commenced and the airport security guard seeing I had work to do said, "come to a spot where the AC works better and you wont be disturbed" and walked me to the arrivals section of the airport away from the commotion! Prior to check-in, one of the IT porters came to me, insisted on taking my small backpack (!), and walked me to check-in. Note, this was not some special treatment as I just happened to be the first ever passport holder of Liechtenstein in IXA – IT does this at all airports. Porters greet each passenger at entry point and carry their bags to check-in! More surprises were in store at check-in (a breeze by the way with my pre-reserved seating honored) when each passenger was given a Kingfisher umbrella in a Kingfisher bag as a token of gratitude. While passengers waited behind me, they were offered tea by IT agents! I had to pinch and remind myself that I was flying a 154 miles domestic segment in economy, and not flying SQ's flagship route in First class!
Post security, we waited in the boarding area before walking to the aircraft post another rigorous security check. Here, my fellow partner-in-crime (and A.Netter KIRAMAKORA) got to take one of the most beautiful pictures of ITs 319 … and that too at IXA! Please convince him to add to the A.Net photo-database. You can see it below. Boarding was very civil by ILBST and once onboard "Namrata" took my boarding pass and said, "Sir – you have a very short walk to your seat" – she smiled and I melted. This woman was beautiful. Wait, all the crew members were stunners. Seriously, the most beautiful collection of FAs I had ever seen … and I have traveled!
As soon as you enter IT, you are made aware of the high-end product IT is. Comfortable seats with leather head-rests, and individual seat-back IFEs within a spaniking new and well-maintained airplane. Y class load was low at an estimated 50%. Later, the airport manager at GAU admitted that loads had taken a beating after CCU-GAU was introduced by 6E and SG.
Airport - External:
(Agartala Airport – first on A.Net)
(Outside Departure Board – pretty quite)
(Porters – this one taken @ DEL – are at all IT airports greeting passengers @ airport door)

III> In-Flight:
a) Service Schedule + Impressions:
Considering that on-air time was less than 20 minutes, I do not understand how IT could deliver so much – prior to take off, warm towels … mints … ear-bud … and get this … an AMENITY PACK! I am seriously, I don't think there is ANY AIRLINE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD that gives amenity packs on domestic 20 minute flights … let alone in coach. This was followed by a quick snack and beverage service immediately post departure.
b) Aircraft + Seats:
Kingfishers A-319 looked great. Red seats and airport gave an air of class. Leather headrests helped the seat look good and the coat-rack hook were a good touch. The seat was very comfortable with generous legroom and recline. The cabin felt very fresh and airy.
(A great picture by KIRAMAKORA. Thank you!)
Views from Aircraft:
Seat Leg-Room:
Seat Recline + Angle View:
(I have been warned by Mr. KIRAMAKORA to let everyone know that this is not him
c) Meal + Beverage:
Mind you, there was a full sandwich, a cupcake, and an orange juice served in a flight whose airtime was 20 minutes! On longer flights, there are menus for both food and beverage.
(On a 154 mile journey!)
d) Inflight Entertainment:
Simply fantastic for a domestic flight of this length. 5 channels of TV and 10 channels of music along with the usual moving map and information channel. On a side note, Kingfisher First passengers enjoy AVOD on 8.4" LCD screens with noise-canceling stereo headphones and over 60 channels, games, etc. The in-flight magazine HI-BLITZ was glossy Vogue-like. I actually missed the more "earthy" domestic content driven magazine on AI/IC. IT felt a little too "westernized" for my western tastes! Oh, and more newspapers and magazine would be great.
(A collection of goodies include a welcome pack with ear-buds, pen, fragrant face wipe, timetable, headphones + umbrella at check-in, amongst others)
(IFE telling you which part of India I was in …)
(… and some flight info)
e) Crew:
I felt like I was in the middle of a Miss Universe pageant and not inside an airplane. The best looking crew in over 3,000,000 miles of flying. Hands-down. They were welcoming, efficient, and met request with a smile. HOWEVER, they definitely missed the IT factor – that amazing sincerity and warmth that cannot be described – something that I found plenty on CD and IC. To their credit, perhaps given a chance, they would shine too? After all, my flight had 20 minutes of "air-time."
IV> Post-Flight:
Gauhati airport has to be my favorite airport in India! A fantastic little airport which is clean, modern, airy, and efficient. It has a huge flight viewing area, several duty-free stores, 2 cafés, tourism counters, and an internet café. Moreover, it has some awesome local murals which give a cool impression of the airport and distinguishes it from other members of IADS.
Gauhati Airport:
(from tarmac)
(cool interiors)
V> Impressions + Scores:
Kingfisher is just fantastic! From gifts at check-in to porters to meals on 20min flights to great IFE, they are going to give 9W a good run for their money. Definitely one of the best new airlines in the world, and miles ahead of some overrated new carriers from the MidEast. I cannot wait to see what their product will look onboard international flights. Great cabin crew, ground crew, ease of reservation, all make IT an airline I truly enjoyed and one I recommend strongly. What will be interesting to see is how the lavish product keeps up with the desire to make profit. Their business model has to be tweaked … though, not changed.

Many thanks for your help with this, I'll give it a go later and post back the outcome..
Many thanks for your help with this, I'll give it a go later and post back the outcome..
Hi all I have 2 question
1- Is it ok if I install CFW 4.30 (patched) on CFW 4.30 (unpatched) Directly ? (without downgrade to 3.55)
2- what's diffrent between patched and unpatched version ?
patched already has the PS button ingame menu fixed, unpatched dosent. i'm not sure it would let you install the patched over top of unpatched, probabky not to safe.
the patch isn't too important , if you hold the PS button you can quit the game from there anyway
you could just apply the patch it would be easier
You can install any 4.30 CFW over other 4.30 CFW, It's the same as 3.55 CFW, you can go directly from Kmeaw to Rebug for example.
Thx for your help & another question when I installed CFW 4.30 and installed playstation home then it worked but I dont know how can i play for example black ops in PSN cause when i come out frome playstation home beta I cant connect to psn by the XMB directly it says ...demonstration... ??
sorry can't help there the demonstration is annoying. i don't play online so no idea about that.
Have you tried opening them in Showtime with direct disc access?
is there anyone who used echnodon playstation home ??
So what all can I do once I have ps3 jailbroken? My bluray drive doesn't work so I figure why not
That is exactly the problem i have... sadly i forgot to make a NOR dump while i was on 3.55 CFW and the only NOR dump i have right now is the one after it got bricked with Rogero's CFW 4.21 1.09. My problem right now is a different one tho. as my PS3 behaves like if it had the YLOD. Since the PS3 turn off the flasher turn off too giving me no chance to flash anything.
I have a working 60GB unit on 3.56 OFW but that one has the 128MB NOR and as far as i know the E3 does not support it unless someone here have a diagram i can use to solder the clip.

Hi - I have a Lemond Nevada City that I refuse to get ride of but the Sora Shifters need to go. I'm curious if 105 Shifters or even Ultegra shifters are compatible with a 9 speed rear Tiagra derailleur? The front derailleur is a Sora 3 chain ring. The chain is a SRAM something (that I don't mind getting rid of for something with a master link).
Here's the what comes stock:
Brake Levers: Shimano Sora STI Dual Control
Front Der: Shimano Sora Triple
Crankset: SR Superbe, 30/42/52 teeth
Rear Der: Shimano Tiagra SS
Any thoughts or advice (even outside of what I'm suggesting) would be greatly appreciated. I don't have the $$$ for a total upgrade for what it's worth...

New Years Resolution-ish - Green 2013
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
I don't usually do New Years Resolutions. I mean if it is a good idea to eat better, why not start today, rather than waiting for the calendar to catch up? But if you set a goal, and it happens to be on or about January first, why not?
So my one little goal is to eat green leafy vegetables every day. That should be easy, since we have green leafy vegetables available on the farm six months a year, and I am going to try some new varieties this year, which I hope will let us get green food in the summer. But we certainly have heaps of lettuce, spinach, kale, collards and endive available right now. I can figure the rest of the year out in June if I have to.
The challenge is to find ways to enjoy greens 365 days a year. I am figuring out interesting salads. I am trying different greens, such as kale, endive, mesclun. I am trying different toppings, such as nuts, dried fruits, fresh fruits, olives, roasted vegetables. One of the problems I have with salads is dressing. None of the regular bottled dressings are very good. There is always something slightly wrong with them. Preservatives and other artificial ingredients make it taste funny. Corn syrup, bad fats, and high levels of sodium make it unhealthy. I like to make my own dressing, but even the simplest dressing takes several minutes, and leaves dirty dishes. And if you make your own, if there are leftovers, olive oil gets weird in the refrigerator. If there aren't leftovers, you have to do it again the next day.
As far as cooking greens, I usually braise them. I saute them with garlic in olive oil, add a little liquid, and put a cover on to let them finish cooking. I can't see doing that more than once a week, though.
The other option is putting greens in other foods. Kale is really good with eggs. We either cook them a little and add eggs to scramble, or we make little nests in the cooked greens, and drop the eggs in to poach. I like greens in soup. I've discovered that putting a lettuce leaf or a kale leaf into the blender when making a smoothie works really well.
The only other trick I have is creative accounting. I am counting broccoli as a leafy green, even though we eat the stalks.
Any suggestions?

Kale "chips"!!!! Spray the kale with a little low cal cooking spray then sprinkle with sea salt and bake until crispy. They're awesome!
Happy vegging!

Selling Beats like Apple Sell Their iPhone and iPods
I was amazed when I saw a friend show me his mini iPod player, you know the one that clips on your shirt sleeve or wherever you'd like it to clip.
It fits inside of a baby's palm.
What also amazed me is that Apple create products for different types of people, with different desires in size, functionality,price points and so on.
This (business) model should be readily applied to your Beat Store business.
For instance, Apple sells the following product-line under its Apple brand:
iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, iTV, iTunes and everything else.
Each of these products offer different price points, different functionality and features and of course respectively target a segment of their core base of Apple customers.
They are all things to all of their customers.
Be All Things To Your Beat Buyers
They provide value to their customers looking to spend only under a few hundred dollars, to customers who can afford closer to a thousand dollars and of course customers who can readily spend a couple thousand dollars, not to mention their various subscription plans.
With your Beat Store business it is important that you begin to adopt this way of developing and releasing product from your Beat Website....and not only just beats.
For instance, you can sell the following:
$5 Beats: Simple beats with verses/chorus
$25 Beats: Beats with verses/chorus/bridges
$100 Beats: Higher Quality sounding beats with verses/chorus/bridges AND a FREE e-Book on Music Recording Tips
$1500 Beats: Exclusive beats with a .......

Educational workshop on codependent relationships to be held in Oklahoma City
Don't ever make anyone your priority while allowing them to make you their option.
That will be one of the messages Oklahoma City counselor Patty Gail Patten shares this weekend at a two-day session about codependency.
Patten said the workshop is appropriate for a range of audiences and will be educational and practical.
Thus far, parents, married adults and counselors have signed up for the session. It will be on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The session will be at Patten's office at 1700 W Britton Road.
Patten said she hopes participants leave with a better sense of self-awareness and the ability to transform unhealthy relationships.
People, especially American residents, often have codependent relationship with family, friends, co-workers and spouses, Patten said.
Patten will teach participants about the symptoms of codependents and how their codependency is affecting current relationships. She also will discuss boundaries versus walls and how self-esteem interacts with codependency.
Patten defines codepency as a lack of relationship with yourself and when people do not know themselves very well. Codependents have trouble knowing how they feel, think and what they want or need.
Codependents often feel like if someone they care for pulls away from them, they will disappear, Patten said.
"If I use you to define me and you start to get more independent from me, I'm going to have my own set of issues that try to bring you back, codependent on me," Patten said.
Anyone interested in attending this weekend's workshop or future workshops can call 818-1585. The workshop costs $220, $180 for people coming from Parents Helping Parents or $165 for counselors.

Clap your eyes on the image above and answer a simple question. What is it? Don't look so bewildered – it's a window! Yes, a window but not a simple one as it appears to be. It's a sound window. Still confused? read on!
A real window brings light into your home but a sound window will bring the external sound background. Cool or what? If your home, like most in urban areas, doesn't have a window or is located in a place without sound environment, then the sound window is perfect for you.
How it works? The right side of the window selects the sound landscape and allows many opening positions. Whereas, the left side of it adjusts the sound volume. The more you open it the more you increase the volume. And then Wi-fi takes over and forwards the sound landscape. You can get the home cinema sound by simply connecting it to a Hi-Fi system with an audio cable.
What's different? Sound window is a cool device that brings sound background to your home thereby adding to the volume of your room's environment. It is a perfect device that lets you totally immerse in a real, vibrant sound background whilst you lie in your comfy bed. Do I need to speak more for the distinctiveness of this cool window? I would love to get one for my home so that I can bring a real sound environment into my personal space.

• Separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates
• Alignment: steer toward the average heading of local flockmates
• Cohesion: steer to move toward the average position of local flockmates
In the boids model (and related systems like the multi-agent steering behavior demos) interaction between simple behaviors of individuals produce complex yet organized group behavior. The component behaviors are inherently nonlinear, so mixing them gives the emergent group dynamics a chaotic aspect. At the same time, the negative feedback provided by the behavioral controllers tends to keep the group dynamics ordered. The result is life-like group behavior.

Hartford — The Senate voted 21-15 Thursday to raise the hourly minimum wage to $8.70 from $8.25 on Jan. 1, 2014, and to $9 from $8.70 by Jan. 1, 2015.
"The very least we can do is pass this very modest increase to give them some increase starting in 2014 and a slight increment again in the following year," said Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven.
The bill was essentially Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's minimum wage proposal, not the one proposed by the Labor and Public Employees Committee. That panel's bill would have increased wages more substantially and continued to increase the wage based on the Consumer Price Index.
Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, the committee's co-chairman, announced the bill in the Senate and described how the price of food had increased with inflation, whereas wages had not. "I was looking at the old restaurant menu (of her parents' business) … from the early 1960s, and on it, an English muffin sold for 15 cents, and the minimum wage was $1.25 in 1963," she said.
Osten said she went to a couple of Norwich restaurants to find out how much the price of an English muffin had increased over the years due to inflation.
The Olde Tymes Restaurant charges $2.01 for an English muffin, and The Spa at Norwich Inn charges $7.50 for an English muffin with butter and jelly, she said. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, as English muffins have, the hourly minimum wage at those two establishments would be $12.44 an hour and $53 an hour, respectively, she said.
"We're not asking for $53 or $12.44 an hour or anything close to covering the cost of inflation over decades," Osten said. "We're asking for 75 cents an hour over two years."
Many Senate Republicans opposed the bill and said it would hurt businesses and result in job losses.
State Sen. Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said he supported increasing the minimum wage when he first joined the legislature in 2003. "We had a booming economy, a surplus in the state, and businesses were thriving," he said, adding that there's a huge difference today from a decade ago.
State Sen. Joe Markley, R-Plantsville, said, "I hope we all realize what a desperate situation we stand in here in the state of Connecticut."
State Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, and Looney, who supported the bill, argued that raising the minimum wage could help the economy.
Meyer said a report by the Economic Policy Institute stated that "raising the minimum wage means shifting profits from the employer, who is much less likely to spend money immediately, to the low-wage workers, who are much more likely to spend immediately, thus increasing the demand for services."
Consumer spending would lead to new jobs to keep up with increasing demand, Meyer said.
Osten, state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, and state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, all voted in favor of the bill.

Chesapeake to address shareholders today
Chesapeake Energy Corp. shareholders will meet at 10 a.m. Friday in one of the most anticipated stockholders meetings in recent state history, but it is unclear exactly what the outcome will be.
At least some of the potential drama was removed this week when Chesapeake bowed to increasing shareholder pressure and met demands by activist shareholders Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, which together control more than 20 percent of Chesapeake's stock.
New questions may have emerged Thursday when Reuters reported on CEO Aubrey McClendon's tangling of company and personal business. For example, he used his 19.2 percent stake in the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is sponsored by Chesapeake, to secure loans in 2009 and 2010.
To an official in the office of New York City's comptroller, those details raised more questions about the perceived lack of oversight from Chesapeake's directors.
"It says a lot about Aubrey McClendon, but it says a lot more about the board," said Michael Garland, director of corporate governance for New York City Comptroller John C. Liu. "Other CEOs might also like the same kind of perks he has, but their boards don't permit it."
Fadel Gheit, an industry analyst with Oppenheimer in New York, said the article is "damaging and puts Aubrey in a very bad light."
"The article was more negative than I thought and could impact future decisions by the board," Gheit said. "It is most unfortunate and sheds the light on executive compensations, which are very excessive and must change or we will have riots beyond Occupy Wall Street."
Amid the controversy over McClendon's personal loan arrangements, several institutional investors have urged shareholders to withhold votes for directors Burns Hargis, president of Oklahoma State University, and Richard K. Davidson, a former Union Pacific Corp. executive. They are the only two Chesapeake directors up for re-election at Friday's meeting.
The result of that vote may be meaningless since Chesapeake announced Monday it would replace four directors with new members selected by its two largest shareholders, Southeastern Asset Management and activist billionaire Carl Icahn. Chesapeake has not said specifically which directors will step down.
The new board will be in place by June 22, with a new independent chairman to replace McClendon. He will remain Chesapeake's CEO.
Garland said he is hopeful that the newly constructed board will be more responsive to shareholders.
"Certainly the addition of four new directors is what is needed on the board, and the expectation is that things will change," he said.
While numerous shareholder groups have called for changes to the Chesapeake board, there have been few public calls for McClendon to step down as CEO.
Garland said that decision is best left to the new directors.
"Let's fix the board and let the board determine whether or not McClendon should stay on as CEO," he said.
"The current board isn't able to make that determination, but within two weeks, we should have five new directors to a nine-person board. Our expectation is that those will be qualified, independent directors. At that point, we'll look to the board to make those kinds of determinations."
Chesapeake and its directors have faced intense scrutiny since April 18 when it was first reported that CEO Aubrey McClendon used his personal stake in Chesapeake wells as collateral for up to $1.1 billion in personal loans.
Chesapeake's planned changes have drawn praise from analysts and industry observers.
Argus analyst Philip Weiss has been a frequent critic of Chesapeake, but he upgraded the company's stock to "Hold" from "Sell" on Wednesday.
The stock dipped almost 2 percent on Wednesday, closing at $17.85 a share.
"While we remain concerned about the company's liquidity, particularly given the decline in natural gas and oil prices, we view the planned changes at the board level following Carl Icahn's investment ... as incremental positives," Weiss stated.
Still, challenges remain, he said.
"At the same time, our view of CHK (Chesapeake) remains cautious at best," Weiss said.
"The company's problems with debt, liquidity and cash flow, along with the negative impact of falling commodity prices, will not disappear simply because of changes in the composition of the board," he said.
Shareholder advisory group Institutional Shareholders Services last month criticized Chesapeake's directors for not providing adequate oversight of McClendon in his personal dealings with firms that do business with Chesapeake.
ISS had called for shareholders to vote against Hargis and Davidson, but it had a lukewarm response to this week's Chesapeake announcement.
"While acknowledging the potential benefits to shareholders of the announced actions, ISS vote recommendations remain unchanged," the group said in a statement.

Chesapeake Energy plans sale
of northern Michigan acreage
Chesapeake Energy Corp. has added its holdings in northern Michigan to the haul of assets it has on the auction block.
The cash-poor oil and natural gas company is selling about 450,000 net acres overlying two emerging resource plays with potential liquids-rich gas production, according to a prospectus from Meagher Energy Advisors.
It is the fourth set of Chesapeake assets being offered by the Denver-based company.
Chesapeake is looking to raise as much as $11.5 billion this year from asset sales and other transactions to fund its planned transition from a natural gas producer to one focused on oil and liquids.
Company officials intend to focus operation on areas where Chesapeake holds a leading acreage position.
The Michigan acreage is highly prospective so it doesn't fit with Chesapeake's current plans, according to the Meagher listing.

In the classic song, "Thank God I'm A Country Boy," John Denver sang, "Life on the farm is kinda laid back"; I've always wondered what he meant by that. I visited a dairy farm once and believe me, the amount of work needed to feed, milk, and otherwise care for cows and then get the milk to processing was certainly not laid back. It was arduous to the nth degree.
Now that I'm older, I realize Denver wasn't talking about the physical life on the farm in that famous song, but instead the mental and emotional and spiritual life, and the focus on the simple cycles of growth and death and regrowth, of connection with soil and water and air, of being part of creation, of family.
It's the message Robert J. Wicks shares in his latest book, "Streams of Contentment", lessons he learned as a child while spending summers on his uncle's farm. (Check out the Patheos Book Club for more reflections on this book.) He shares memories of times that taught him to be alone without being lonely, to see quiet moments at the fishing hole as true meditation, and to understand that what we need to be happy isn't more, but to be more happy with what we have.
I think that's something I've found from working at home. The cat and dogs don't sweat deadlines; the only schedule they're on is lunch time and nap time. They aren't concerned about paychecks; they have everything they need – food, toys, a warm bed. They don't crave more food or toys or beds, because more wouldn't make them any happier than they already are.
They've taught me that work begins when the play time is finished, that a nap every afternoon not only rests the body but also the mind, and that a warm puppy kiss can make a dark day brighter.
A newer car, more TV channels, or a more technologically advanced cell phone aren't keys to happiness, and I'm glad I don't have to work at a job I hate in order to have things I don't need. I don't have an iPhone or iPad or even an iPod; I drive a 10-year-old Jeep I affectionately call the dogmobile, and I love it, even though it doesn't back into parking spots on its own or have GPS or satellite radio (it doesn't even have a CD player); I'm only distracted by hundreds of channels on cable TV.
Instead, the interruptions I face throughout the day are not electronic, but canine. Woof! Woof! Let's play ball! Woof! Woof! Let's blow bubbles! A ride in the car means we listen to local talk radio and news. My lunch break includes "sleepy nap time", at least one hour curled up on the couch with the dogs.
Yes, I'm often out of the loop, pop culture-wise. But I don't think my life is any less full because I wouldn't know Lady GaGa if I met her in the grocery store.
While working the land and raising farm animals is physically demanding work, there is also a reward for being connected spiritually to the animals, whether it's gratefulness for a fresh egg or the awe and wonder at seeing a newborn calf take its first wobbly step.
Perhaps if we looked to our animal friends for lessons about life, we might be happier and more fulfilled.

Cable issue or wiring issue?
I've been having an issue with my coaxi cable giving off strong electrical shocks. In fact, it's fried two cable boxes, my TV and three cable techs:eek:.
I had out an electrician and he told me that it's probably the coaxi ground (grounded to the junction box by the meter) and said the the only wires running thru there are a hot and a neutral and that it could get getting back feed. He went on to test the outlets with a plug in meter and they all read "correct", so he claimed that it's not the wiring and that I should have them ground the cable to a water pipe.
SO, the cable company sent out two more techs who I briefed on everything I had been told by the electrician. They said that the ground is not the problem and that "company policy" states that they cannot ground to water, so they replaced all the cable in the apartment and outside. When they tried to hook up the tv they got the predictable shock.
They left telling me that they were sending out a supervisor this week. In the mean time, I started to do a little trouble shooting of my own. Here's what I found.
I took a look at all of the components that I have hooked up to my entertainment center and all of them with the exception of my PS3 are two prong plugs, the PS3 on the other hand is a three prong. I grabbed an old DVD player and hooked it up like normal to the television, the PS3 was also connected to the tv via HDMI. When I touched the coaxi to the back of the dvd player it shocked like hell. I then unplugged the HDMI from the PS3 to the tv and repeated the process,,,no shock at all. SO, I'm thinking that the PS3 must have a short of some type, but just to confirm I decided to pull the only other three prong source in my apartment, my pc. I ran the pc into the tv via S-video and had the hook up the same way to the dvd player. Touched the coaxi to the dvd and boom!,, unhooked the S-video from the pc and nothing.
So, I've concluded that the coaxi only gives off a shock when a grounded plug piece of equipment is hooked up. Does this sound like a wiring issue or could it really be a bad ground on the coaxi?
Sounds VERY much to me that its a bad ground on the coaxial line. What you are experiencing is a difference in potential from the equipment ground on your PS3 (or your computer) and the coaxial ground. Ground the coax line to the electrical supply ground and everything should be fine. It surprises me that the cable company couldn't figure that out, they install a ground block on the outside of the house for a reason, its to ground the cable line to the electrical ground! Though its nice that they replaced all the coax cable for you!
1 Attachment(s)
Yep, make sure the coax is bonded to the electrical system.
Attachment 4572
I agree that the coax should be bonded to the house grounding electrode system, but there is still the issue of where the current coming from.
One cause could be a loose service neutral. The neutral current is trying to find a path back to the transformer. The cable can provide a path, in some cases.
Is your electrical service overhead or underground?
Is your water service (incoming) metal or plastic?
How does the coax run? Is it overhead or underground?
I'd be a little curious as to how much difference in potential there is, use a volt meter and check from the shield of the coax cable to a solid ground like on an outlet.
Well, I'm getting it taken care of tomorrow. The cable company is sending out a Supervisor to "take care of the problem" and the electrician said he could come out anytime, so I'm gonna try to get them both here at the same time and let them duke it out.
The cable company at least put in a damage claim for the TV, but I'm wondering what, if any, action I could take against them for having a hot line ran into my apartment for the past four years? I should at lest get free HBO out of it!:laughing:
Wow, this story just wont end. So I finaly get the cable company to send out a few guy's to fix the grounding problem. I decided as a precaution to unhook any components with a ground plug (three prong) before they try to hook up the box just incase it turns out to be a wiring problem. They run the ground over to the cold water pipe on a water heater, bring in a new cable box and hook it up with no problems. After they left I decided to test out the system to see what would happen if I hooked up the PS3. Sure enough, once the ground plug comes in to play it causes a shock (mind you I used a broken old VCR for this test so no PS3 was hurt:)).
Well, I instantly call up the LL thinking that it MUST be a wiring problem now. The LL is by this time sick of hearing from me, so he pulls out all the stops and gets an electrical engineer to come out. The guy spends two hours testing everything from the breaker to the main box and checking every component for a short. Finally he ends up finding a "dirty" signal from the cable box. He unhooks the coaxi cable, plugs in a three prong plug in to the outlet, puts one end of the multimeter into the ground hole of the ground plug and touches the other end to the outer shiled of the coaxi,,, he gets a reading of 120v on the meter:(. He goes on to test the coaxi at every point till we get to the power line and he cant go any higher. He told me that it's got to be a bad connection from the cable company either at the source or at the ground.
Before he left he gave me his multimeter and showed me how to test the cable like he did. He told me not to let the cable guy's leave till that meter read zero.
Sending an engineer on a service call? Leaves a meter with you? And says "not to let the techs leave until it reads zero"? They will never read zero unless the engineer left you an analog meter.
I agree with John regarding the loose neutral or another grounding issue in your electrical system. 120 volts is a serious issue and could potentially be lethal, if the circumstance warrants.
Keep us posted. I would like to know what happens. Thanks John
Water service is metal, but it's grounded to an outside water heater.
Coax is ran straight from the power pole then into the house(no more than 25feet from the pole to the house). The ground on the other hand is running about thirty feet or so.
"Sending an engineer on a service call? Leaves a meter with you? And says "not to let the techs leave until it reads zero"? They will never read zero unless the engineer left you an analog meter."
Well he was doing it as a favor to my LL, but they joked around about charging the rental company for a service call. And I understand about not getting an absolute zero, but it shouldnt be reading 120v should it? Do you still think this could be a wiring problem or is it pretty much nailed down to the coaxi?
I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the PS3, computer and anything else with a ground plug all function normaly, no shocks or anything as long as the coaxi is not hooked up. Don't know if that tells you anything or not.
Duchey, Okay, lemme see if I got this right... Ground to ground (coax to house) and you get 120V, the "EE" says it's the cable Co.. Disconnect the cable where it comes into the house/apartment and remeasure the coax ground to house ground. If there's no 120v, then it's outside the house, if there is, then it's inside.
I had a similar problem in a neighbor's house. Turned out to be a missing/energized ground on the circuit the TV/cable box was plugged into. He had 120v on the ground (which obviously wasn't connected right). The circuit started out at a convenience outlet next to the panel (right near the water ground) and ran all over the house (basement, bedrooms, attic, etc...). I pointed out that on the outlet ground to water ground was 120v. He said, "Oh yeah. I remember one time I touched the outside of the metal box and the shutoff valve and I got a helluva shock."
Do you have 120V ground (coax) to ground on any other circuits? (an extension cord will help here). Turn off the breaker on the circuit that the TV/cable box is on (I'm assuming for argument s sake that this is where the problem lies. This will eliminate false positives in case you plug into another outlet on the same circuit) and measure your voltage (should be zero) on the ground of the extension cord to the coax ground. If it's zero, I'd start (or have the LL's electrician) to trace the circuit back to its origin (or work from the panel outwards) and check the ground/neutral at every point along the way. Best of luck and let us know what the fix is. pete
Well, he (the EE) measured the coaxi all the way up to the wall outlet inside of the house and got the 120v reading the whole way and said that it was coming from outside. So what your saying is that I need to test the cable outside the house with a house ground and if I get 120v then it's coming from the cable? We also measured it in two different rooms from three separate outlets that I belive are on two different circuits (will test when I get home).
I'll try to do what you posted when I get home, but my question is why do I only get a shock when the coaxi comes into the picture? Why dont I get shocked when hooking up the computer or PS3 normaly if it's a ground problem? Things only get nasty once the coaxi enters the picture.
AH,, I do have another cable connection in the bedroom and I'm almost certin that the outlets are on a separate circuit. So, if I test the house ground to coaxi ground in the bedroom and it comes up 120V then I've got a problem with the coaxi?
The ground is not the problem. The problem is whatever is putting 120 volts on the cable shield. Your biggest problem at this point is an electrician who checks outlets with a plug in tester rather than trouble shooting the actual problem with a volt meter. I think you need a real electrician before someone gets hurt or graveyard dead.

You just have to disconnect the coax input from where it enters the house. Usually they have a barrel type connector with two water proof "boots." Slide one of the boots out of the way and disconnect the coax from the connector, then make your measurement.

What type of plugs do the PS3 and computer use? If they aren't grounded plugs (3 prong) 120V on the ground would have no effect on them.

If it is on a separate circuit you may be correct. Disconnecting the coax outside should narrow down the possibilities.
When you lose a neutral, the current is very resourceful finding ways to get back. Find out exactly where the power is coming from by process of elimination (turning off branch circuits one at a time)
