Katy Perry Buys Russell Brand Trip to Outer Space as Birthday Gift
Russell Brand will be celebrating his 35th birthday in outer space as his fiancee Katy Perry has bought him a seat on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space ship. "It is true," Virgin Galactic rep Louella Faria tells E! News. "We are very excited to have him on board."
Seats on the ship reportedly cost $200,000. Brand and the other passengers will "jet more than 365,000 feet straight into the Earth's atmosphere at a speed three times faster than the speed of sound." For five minutes, they then can unfasten their seat belts and float weightlessly before returning to Earth.
"There will be 17-inch-diameter windows to look out onto," a space agent for Virgin Galactic explained further about what they offer for their tourists. "Passengers will be able to view Earth around 800 miles in any direction from space."
Katy Perry herself doesn't buy a seat, but she is invited to wait at Virgin Galactic's New Mexico spaceport for Russell Brand's return. In the meantime, Brand is required to do some preparations, including two to three days of astronaut training, before going for the special adventure.

Dragon World Championship 2013 to be hosted by WPNSA
by Fiona Brown on 14 Nov 2012
The 2013 Dragon World Championship is to be hosted by Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA), home of the sailing regattas of the 2012 Olympiad, from 5 to 13 September 2013. With its combination of great sailing waters, purpose built shore facilities, ease of access and fabulous Dorset location on the Jurassic Coast, Weymouth was the obvious choice when the British Dragon Association looked at potential venues.
'The Dragon World Championship attracts the elite of international yacht racing, from World and Continental Champions to America's Cup and Olympic veterans, so we need championship venues that can meet their very demanding requirements. We are delighted to be working in partnership with the WPNSA for this prestigious biennial event and are looking forward to an outstanding regatta.' Explained British Dragon Association Chairman Martin Makey.
Since opening in 2000 WPNSA has established a well-deserved reputation for delivering outstanding events for both keelboats and dinghies. With unrivalled shore side facilities, a dedicated event marina and race management teams fresh from the Olympic and Paralympic Games it is a truly world-class venue.
Chris Knight, WPNSA Business Manager, noted 'The planning of the Dragon events in Weymouth during 2013 is in full swing. We feel passionately about the Academy's ability to deliver on such world-class events and look forward to welcoming this celebrated keelboat class. '
Weymouth is not only a great venue for the sailors but also offers a host of attractions for friends and families too. With its wonderful clear air, sweeping cliff walks, breathtaking views and historic towns and villages brimming with restaurants and shops, Dorset is a visitor's paradise. The Jurassic Coast- a stunning stretch of 200 million-year-old shoreline that has been designated a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO - is on the doorstep and the Dorset countryside is an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are great beaches for the kids to enjoy and plenty of fun attractions to keep them entertained .
Teams must qualify to take part in the Dragon World Championship and so only the very best sailors from each country will compete. Reigning World Champion Lawrie Smith, crewed by Ossie Stewart and Tim Tavinor, has confirmed he will defend his title. Amongst those expected to challenge are Russia's Dmitry Samokhin and Anatoly Loginov; Portugal's Jose Matoso; Germany's Tommy Mueller, Markus Wieser and Ulli Libor; Denmark's Lars Hendriksen, Jens Christensen and Joergen Schoenherr; Evgeny Braslavets from the Ukraine; Ireland's Martin Byrne and Simon Brien; Ben Van Cauwenbergh from Belgium; Ezio Gianni Murzi and Giuseppe Duca from Italy; Lowell and Phyllis Chang from Hong Kong and Richard Lynn from Australia. The British will field a very strong home team led by World Champion Lawrie Smith and including Klaus Diederichs, Ron James, Gavia Wilkinson-Cox and Graham and Julia Bailey.
For those keen to get in some advance training on the Worlds race area, the British Dragon Association will be holding the 2013 South Coast Championship and the Edinburgh Cup, for the British Open Championship, at Weymouth. The South Coasts will be held on 23 and 24 June and will be immediately followed by the Edinburgh Cup from 25 to 30 June

Ikea Fixa 114-Piece Cable Management Set
Even if you're trying to "cut the cord" with accessories, you probably still have plenty of cables strewn about your desk. We can't all have work surfaces that look like the neatly arranged tables at the Apple Store, but Ikea's 114-Piece Cable Management Set ($5) at least gives you the tools to tidy up a bit. Packed with a variety of organizational accessories, it has what you need to hide your cords away.
Each box includes three sets of Velcro cable ties, 20 8" ties, 65 cable clips of various thicknesses, and 26 self-adhesive cable tie mounts. You can bundle your cables together from the back of your machine out to your peripherals and outlets, and create paths on the underside of your desk. It's cleaner than just leaving all of the wires in their natural places, and inexpensive, besides.

Doug Clark: Firsts and monsoons at Street Music Week
The 10th annual Spokane Street Music Week will be remembered for its number of exciting firsts.
As in …
First comedian. First juggler.
First church choir.
With just two noon hours left, what other "firsts" will we see in our quest to raise a record $10,000 for the Second Harvest food bank?
Thanks for asking.
As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of launching our first-ever Street Music Week lawsuit.
Seriously. I plan to sue the Apple corporation for the fraudulent weather app that came on my iPhone.
Flash back to last Sunday.
I checked my weather app and was ecstatic to see nothing but shiny orbs of sunshine predicted for the week ahead.
As it turns out, however, Apple's weather geeks apparently can't tell the difference between sunlight and MONSOON SEASON!
Right now I'd take a black fly invasion over another thunderstorm.
The bottom line is that our moody brooding weather has had a debilitating impact on the lunchtime foot traffic that our event depends on for red bucket donations.
Must we wait until John Fogerty finishes singing Friday at Northern Quest to find out who'll stop the rain?
( Columnist Note: You have to be over 50 to get that last joke.)
Another, more serious question looms.
Will we make that $10K goal for our 10th annual event?
Donating to Second Harvest via our website, www.streetmusicweek.com, is a painless (and dry) way to make it happen.
Or grab a raincoat and defy the elements. You will be amazed by the array of talented performers who are spicing up noontime in downtown Spokane.
Ken Martin, say.
In his 20 years as a professional comedian, Martin has played every kind of seedy venue imaginable.
But until Tuesday, Martin had never even considered taking his joke telling to the sidewalks.
"I call it yuks for bucks," said Martin, adding that it wasn't easy convincing some pedestrians that he was actually part of Street Music Week.
"Wait a minute, you're not playing anything," said one cynic who eyeballed the comic suspiciously. "Do you have your ID badge?"
"I'm not playing anything," Martin told her. "But I brought my organ."
"Oh," said the woman, who began walking away.
Three steps later, she froze. She turned back to look at him.
"Oooohhhh," she drawled in a knowing tone.
On Wednesday I was delighted to see Mike Green, an old friend from way back in my Idaho newspaper days. Green came downtown to showcase his professional juggling talents outside the front doors of River Park Square.
Alas, we didn't get a chance to talk. But I watched Green tossing bowling pins from my spot near Starbucks and, man, the guy is really good.
"I made my first trip to Spokane in 1967," wrote Green in an email to me last week.
"I was a member of a 4-H livestock judging group that won at a local level and advanced to competition at the fairgrounds.
"Got a tour of the city, saw an Indians ballgame, the falls at night and planes taking off at the airport. Also got to ride the escalators at the Bon from where I bought my first Wailers album.
"I'm coming back to town again, but this time I'm part of the show."
He certainly is.
Green added that he will be back today, so don't miss him.
For some, there's a definite learning curve in becoming a successful busker or street performer.
"It was really hard to get the pitch," explained Irene Supica, who performed near River Park Square with members of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church choir.
Apparently some of the amplified acts made it difficult for the choir to, ahem, find its footing.
I think Irene might have been talking about my trio.
A bit embarrassed by her slim collections, however, Supica got out her checkbook saying that she had to "write a guilt check" to help out.
That wasn't necessary. But it was a really sweet gesture.
I hope the choir gives it another go.
There will be no stopping Martin, I fear. The funny man promises to bring his comedic stylings back to SSMW on Friday.
Just look, he said, for the guy in the loud Hawaiian shirt wandering around on Main Avenue.

Philippine tribal protest forces mine closure
Badjao people formed a human barricade
April 12, 2013
A mining company announced today it has shut down operations at a nickel mine in the southern Philippine province of Surigao del Sur, after locals blocked the entrance, citing environmental concerns.
Members of the Badjao tribe in the village of Cabangahan, Catilan town, formed a human barricade on Monday to prevent Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation (MDCC) from entering the area, a federally designated watershed.
"We got support from the local police and military," said village leader Jimmy Bat-ao. The area is also a burial and hunting ground, he said.
On Wednesday, a group of security guards tried to demolish the barricade and disperse the people, but about 300 tribesmen stood their ground. Bat-ao said no one was hurt in the incident.
The nickel mines, which started operation last year, cover about 4,779 hectares of land in the town.
The mining company has a permit to operate, according to Roger de Dios, director of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau in the region.
"Based on our monitoring and inspection, no violation has been observed to warrant suspension," de Dios said. "The company voluntarily suspended its operation."
Chito Trillanes, spokesman of the Catholic Church's Social Action Center in Cantilan town, however, said tribal people have reached an agreement with the local environmental bureau to look into alleged violations committed by the mining company.
Trillanes said the mining area is the source of irrigation for 3,000 hectares of land.
The parish social action office earlier filed an appeal before a local court to issue a temporary restraining order to stop the mining operation.

The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee yesterday moved a bill to update the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the primary fisheries law in federal waters. Alaska Congressman Don Young amended the bill to allow subsistence fishermen a voice on the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council.
Fish like halibut and pollock are caught at sea, but Young says inland fishermen should also have a say in how they're managed.
"All I want is for them to have a voice, the same voice that the commercial and sport fisheries have, so they have utilization for a living source of food," Young said.
Nominees for the North Pacific Council can be qualified based on their commercial or recreational fishing expertise. The law doesn't mention subsistence users, and Young says they're being short-changed on the Council.
"There has been a decline in fisheries that are used for subsistence and yet the subsistence users are neglected as far as taking in consideration the amount of fish that can be caught," Young said.
His amendment would require the Alaska governor to consult with subsistence users before nominating North Pacific Council members. Tribes in the Y-K Delta and the Interior have been asking for representation on the Council. People there suspect Bering Sea fisheries are aggravating the Chinook salmon crisis. The Pollock industry says its cut way down on its Chinook bycatch, down to about 30,000 fish. But to subsistence users barred from catching even one, it sounds like a lot.
Sky Starkey, an attorney for the Association of Village Council Presidents, says the amendment is a good start in getting subsistence users into the Magnuson-Stevens Act, but Starkey says tribes want a dedicated tribal seat on the council to press subsistence concerns.
"And the amendment that was introduced at mark-up today would not accomplish that purpose, at least not directly so," Starkey said.
Current law says membership on the management councils should be "balanced" between different types of fishermen, commercial and recreational. Young's amendment doesn't change the balancing requirement to give any weight to subsistence.
It passed the committee with no opposition. The bill itself is largely similar to the draft in circulation since December.
Resources Chairman Doc Hastings told the committee they'd have more opportunities to shape the bill as it moves forward.

I love the Internets. Why? Because they bring me things like this:
The above image was attached to a random Tweet from someone I've never heard of that I managed to snatch out of the ether when I saw the sentence "I'm totally getting me one of these here wine purses." To which I could only say, "AMEN!"
What a concept! Sure, they could make the spout tuck conveniently away somewhere, and they've totally missed out on the buckle trend that's hot right now, but this is definitely a marvel of fashion and function nonetheless. And if it has some nice little inner pockets for those small frozen cold packs (plus enough room for a phone, a compact, a wallet, and a tube of lipstick) I call it genius.
I wonder if it comes in suede?

With the fast approaching presidential election, the actual oval office isn't the only thing in the news. Next to Antoine Fuqua's competing presidential actioner Olympus Has Fallen, White House Down, a thriller about a secret service agent faced with protecting the president when the White House is invaded by a paramilitary group. While it's unsure whether America's next vice-president will be Paul Ryan or Joe Biden, it has been confirmed that Michael Murphy has been elected to play the role of vice-president Alvin Hammond in the film. Rest assured, Murphy has plenty of experience for the role as he has played political figures in more than a few movie and television shows.
Murphy will also be accompanied by Garcelle Beauvais in this film, who will reunite with Jaime Foxx, co-star in the 90's sitcom The Jaime Foxx Show. In White House Down, Foxx has been cast »

City council candidate Alejandrina Cabrera barred from running in Arizona for deficiency in English
YUMA, Ariz. — A city council candidate in Arizona who was barred from running because she doesn't speak English proficiently is vowing to appeal the judge's ruling.
Alejandrina Cabrera conceded in an interview with the Yuma Sun that she needs to improve her command of English. But the San Luis resident said the judge's decision that she doesn't satisfy a state law requiring elected officials to be proficient is unjust.
"He can't take away my constitutional rights, and if he takes away my rights, he takes away the rights of the community," Cabrera told The Sun's Spanish-language edition on Saturday.
Her language skills are adequate in a southwestern Arizona border city where Spanish is used as frequently as English, Cabrera said. She declined to give details of the appeal.
The case has brought national and international attention to the city after San Luis Mayor Juan Carlos Escamilla filed a court action last month asking for a determination on whether she had the English skills necessary to serve on the council.
State law requires elected officials to know English, but Cabrera's attorneys have argued the law does not define proficiency in the language.
An expert testified that in tests he administered to Cabrera, she did not demonstrate the level of proficiency needed to serve on the council. Yuma County Judge John Nelson said he also based his ruling on Cabrera's failure to respond correctly to questions posed to her.
Cabrera said, "the specialist is right that I have to continue (studying English), but I don't agree that my English is not satisfactory for (the council). I clearly have the ability to be a councilwoman here. I'm not (campaigning for) the White House.
"I know that many people know both languages, but the truth is that, whether we like or not, all the people speak Spanish. If you go the market, if you go to the post office, if you go to pay your water bill, nobody speaks to you in English," she said.
Cabrera was one of 10 candidates who had filed nominating petition signatures to run for four council seats in the March primary election. As her attorneys seek an appeal, Cabrera said she will keep campaigning for three other candidates with whom she was planning to run on a slate for the council seats — San Luis businesswoman and former Mayor Nieves Riedel, former Councilman Archibaldo Gurrola, and Ricardo Salazar.

Title: Can bluebonnets be made into jelly from Ennis TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Are Texas bluebonnet flowers okay for human consumption? I have seen recipes for wild violet jelly,so was wondering about making bluebonnet jelly from the bluebonnet blossoms if they are not poisonous.
From Prairieland Herbs, here is possibly the recipe for violet jelly to which you were referring.
We found that Mr. Smarty Plants had already answered questions on the toxicity Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) before. Just to bring you up to speed, here are those previous questions:
Here's what we are taking away from those answers:
1. The seeds seem to have the most toxicity, and since horses and cows will often graze on nearly everything, the fact that the somewhat unattractive seeds are sticking out there (as opposed to the blooms, which are long gone by then) are what gets nibbled.
2. You must be very sure no man-made poisons are on the flowers, such as pesticides for fire ants, or herbicides for weeds.
3. Beyond that, we could find no proof that they could not be eaten in a jelly, but frankly the violet jelly sounds like it's a whole lot of sugar and a little color from the flowers. If you have bluebonnets that you know could not have been sprayed with who-knows-what and don't mind denying the bees their treats, you could certainly go ahead and try it.

Statewide Spotlight: Philly company invests in huge Downtown Pittsburgh reuse project
The New York Times
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
A 12-story landmark building and former Macy's location in Downtown Pittsburgh will be transformed into a high-end mixed use project, signaling continued confidence in that city's rebirth.
Core Realty, based in Philadelphia, in July paid $15 million for the property just months before Macy's closed. The building, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Smithfield Street, dates to the late 1800s and for years was the flagship of the Kaufmann's department store chain. It went through several expansions and renovations, including a heralded Art Deco interior makeover of the first floor in 1930.
Randy Mineo, executive vice president of Core Realty and a Pittsburgh native, envisions a mix of retailers, restaurants and entertainment spots to complement a 155-room Even Hotel and 312 luxury apartments. Named the Grand at Fifth Avenue, the estimated $100 million project will feature an open-air atrium beginning on the fifth floor and 600 parking spaces, a sparse commodity downtown.
"I've always looked at Pittsburgh as a hidden gem; it's a city that has been kind of ignored," said Mr. Mineo, who with the owner of Core Realty, Michael Samschick, began hunting for properties in the city three years ago. "But you could tell that underneath the surface, Pittsburgh was bubbling..."

Should mobster's home become a historic landmark?
Associated Press
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
The home of a late Philadelphia mob boss has been nominated as a historical landmark and begs the question, 'What makes something historic?'
Angelo Bruno, who was known as the "Gentle Don" when he ran the city's Italian mob in the 1960s and 1970s, was gunned down outside the home in 1980.
The Philadelphia Daily News
reports that Bruno's biographer sent the city's Historical Commission a landmark nomination for the rowhome.
The writer, Celeste Morello, said she nominated the three-bedroom home due to its significance in law enforcement history, saying Bruno's criminal activity helped shape federal laws and strategies for fighting organized crime.
"If Bruno didn't do things to make law enforcement notice him, I doubt that Philadelphia would have been one of the first organized-crime law enforcement units with a 'strike force' in the country," Morello told the
Daily News
The commission is expected to take up the nomination next month.
"I assume it is our first historical property nomination related to Mafia history in Philadelphia. I can't think that there is another one," said Kim Broadbent, historic preservation planner on the staff of the Historical Commission. "It's certainly a unique story about Philadelphia's history that we don't typically come across at the office."

Visited by Pope Francis, hosting the Democratic National Convention in July, and freshly crowned as the US's first and only World Heritage City (joining the ranks of Cairo, Paris and Jerusalem), Philly's on a roll. NYC's more neighborly neighbor is experiencing a transformation to its urban core, as many US cities are right now. Craft breweries? Check. Hot new locavore restaurants? Big check. But Philadelphia is steadfastly managing to retain its historic roots and gritty flavor, as well as its affordability – a pleasant surprise for a city so cosmopolitan and accessible.

Mayor welcomes skaters back to LOVE Park, sorta
Associated Press
Tuesday, February 16, 2016
As LOVE Park undergoes a renovation, the skateboarders are allowed to return -- temporarily.
Skateboarders in Philadelphia are feeling the love from Love Park now that the mayor has temporarily lifted a ban on skating there until it closes for renovations.
Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney made the announcement Wednesday during a groundbreaking ceremony for the park and welcome center's $20 million facelift.
The park is a skateboarding haven. Kenney urges skaters to take advantage of it until it closes Feb. 15. He tells skaters they're "part of the fabric" of Love Park. He says granite removed during the overhaul will be used in skate parks across the city.

Market East feeding frenzy continues: Gallery developers scoop up three buildings
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tuesday, February 16, 2016
The developers behind the renovation of The Gallery have scooped up three more properties in Market East, signaling continued rebirth in the neighborhood.
Moves to remake the dilapidated Gallery at Market East into a high-end outlet mall are expected to give area property values a lift.
Among the beneficiaries of that boost: the developers behind the Gallery's redevelopment effort.
As their proposal for the Fashion Outlets of Philadelphia was coming together, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) and Macerich Co. were quietly buying up property across the street.
The acquisition of three buildings on the 1000 block of Market Street shows the developers' bullishness on the area's resurgence, which the $325 million Gallery project aims to fuel...
PREIT and Santa Monica, Calif.-based Macerich plan to find new tenants for the properties after the redeveloped mall's occupants are selected, Coradino said.
Likely candidates are retailers that want to be in the area but are not a good match for the mall, which hopes to feature discount versions of designer-label stores and crowd-drawing restaurants.
The developers may want to use the properties to coax current Gallery tenants that are inconsistent with the Fashion Outlets concept but have long-term leases for their space, said Tom Londres, president of retail brokerage Metro Commercial Real Estate Inc.

Next City asks if Kenney is Philly's first mayor for millennials
Next City
Tuesday, February 16, 2016
Next City argues that our new mayor is uniquely qualified to appeal to the next generation of Philadelphians.
When former Mayor Michael Nutter, a bookish reform candidate, took office in 2008, he arranged for 2,000 guests to board a cruise ship docked in the city's defunct Navy Yard, which was being slowly transformed into a tax-free business park. The $50-a-head fete was billed as a salute to the city's neighborhoods, but the real message was clear: Philadelphia was open for business again.
When Nutter's successor, former Councilman Jim Kenney, was sworn in last month, he threw a block party, the ultimate community tradition in a city of narrow streets and tightly packed rowhomes. The son of a working-class Irish family from the dockside neighborhoods in South Philly, Kenney was hailed as the "anti-Nutter," a folksy, relatable mayor who would shift the city's political focus away from downtown business interests and back to taxpayers feeling alternately thrilled and threatened by their hometown's recent resurgence...
As the incoming mayor was taking pains to demonstrate, he is an old-school rowhouse guy, but one that supports a new breed of Philly urbanity that involves more food trucks and fewer cars, taller buildings and the possibility that Philly could stand to tamp down its we-are-not-New-York rhetoric and learn from its neighbor to the north's walkable streets.
Perhaps more importantly in a city where a Pew study found that
29 percent of millennials said they planned to leave the city because of failing schools
, Kenney positioned himself as the education candidate. He pushed a model for "community schools" pioneered in Cincinnati, another rebounding city pushing itself to
retain a growing population
of educated young adults...
"I have taken positions in my career that have not made a lot of those folks happy. LGBT rights, immigration rights, marijuana decriminalization. These are issues a lot of my core constituency and people that are friendly with me do not understand," he says. "But ultimately, hopefully, they do understand. When you do the right thing, and not just the popular thing, you're hoping that the right thing becomes popular."

A trip down memory lane to Philly's historic sports stadiums
Curbed Philly
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
Curbed takes a look at stadiums from Philly's sports past.
Check them out.
South Philly may be home to all of the city's stadiums today, but you might be surprised to know that North Philly was where all the magic began. Take
Baker Bowl
, for instance, which stood at Broad Street and Lehigh Avenue and was the
first home of the Phillies.
And just a few blocks away was Shibe Park, which was
once described as
, "the greatest place of its character in the world." And that's just the start of it. Here are
six football and baseball stadiums
that once stood in Philadelphia. Just in time for the Super Bowl, let's take a trip down memory lane, when these behemoths only cost $100,000 to build and tickets to see a
Jimi Hendrix concert
in them set folks back $6.50.?

UberPool coming to Philadelphia
Philadelphia Business Journal
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
Uber's carpooling option is coming to Philadelphia, allowing budget-minded ridesharers to save even more dough.
UberPOOL, a new feature from the San Francisco-based ride-sharing company that allows customers to share trips with people heading in the same direction, will launch in Philadelphia, according to multiple sources familiar with the development.
UberPOOL is usually 50 percent cheaper than UberX. In Philadelphia, riders could save $0.55 per mile, which should make it appealing for solo riders or a pair. The option doesn't work for three or more riders summoning an Uber together...
UberPOOL launched its private beta with Google in August 2014. It's already available in at least eight markets including Washington, D.C., New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, and Austin, Texas, along with Paris and Bangalore, India.
The addition of UberPOOL to the Philadelphia market comes at a strange time between the city and app. Uber has an office and a huge fleet in Philadelphia, although it is operating illegally in the city since its UberX service is not regulated by the
Philadelphia Parking Authority
lashed out at the PPA
late last week after a
Philadelphia Daily News
article revealed the extent of the PPA's sting operations against Uber drivers. UberPOOL is its first real commitment toward expanding its services in Philadelphia beyond UberX. The company declined to
establish UberEATS
in Philadelphia.

Philly photog shares local hidden gems with HuffPo
Huffington Post
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
A partnership between
Global Yodel
Huffington Post
results in this local guide from photographer Darren Burton.
What is the best thing about Philadelphia?
Hands down, the food and the art. Last year Philadelphia was ranked #6 for the best food cities in America by the
Washington Post
. Most tourists only know of us for our cheesesteaks, which ironically we don't eat often. There are MANY amazing restaurants that will leave your stomach satisfied to say the least. In addition to tons of restaurants, you can also find many murals, museums and art galleries throughout the city...
Describe a perfect day in Philadelphia:
If my friend was at the The Logan Philadelphia Hotel for 24 hours, for starters, I would have them get breakfast at the Urban Farmer Restaurant on the 1st floor. (I'd suggest the Honey Biscuit with Country Sausage and Chicken.) After they eat I'd urge them to spend their afternoon on the parkway checking out the
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Academy of Natural Sciences
, and
The Franklin Institute
. Of course, after all the walking they'd be hungry, so, I'd suggest going to
Tela's Market
on 19th and Fairmount and eating their Softshell Crab Sandwich followed by a Strawberry Banana Gelato from
Philly Flavors
which is only one block away. By this time, I'm sure they'd be tired so I'd suggest to go to
The Logan Spa
back at the hotel for a nice massage and then a nap. When they awake during the evening I'd urge them to put on a casual outfit and head over to
Silk City
in the Northern Liberties neighborhood and grab a bite to eat. (I'd suggest getting the Shrimp & Grits.) After dinner, the grand finale would be to head on over to
The Fillmore
for a dope concert. When the concert is over, if they still wanted to party, I'd suggest dancing their little hearts out at
The Barbary
right down the street.

Local startup Curalate raises $27.5 million in Series C funding; will hire 115
Tuesday, February 09, 2016
A shining star in the local startup scene, Curalate has impressed again with a huge funding round. Philly.com's
blog has the scoop.
Curalate, the "visual commerce" software maker that helps Urban Outfitters and Forever21 sell clothes via partners Instagram, Pinterest and other social media, has raised $27.5 million from its past investors New Enterprise Associates (the largest U.S. venture capital outfit), Josh Kopelman's Philadelphia-based FirstRound Capital (biggest VC based on the East Coast), and MentorTech Ventures (a Phila-based group, includes Pa. state venture capital, which backs firms run by Penn people like Curalate CEO Apu Gupta, a Wharton MBA). "They believe," Gupta told me...
Gupta says the latest cash infusion, which follows $12.5 million in fundraising since 2012, will pay to double Curalate's staff -- currently 115 at its Center City HQ, New York and Seattle offices -- to 230 by year's end. "We're trying to disrupt a $1.6 trillion (ecommerce) market. It's gonna take some money," Gupta told me. "There's a lot of hiring to be done."
"Curalate is transforming ecommerce," NEA general partner Harry Weller said in a statement. He called it "one of those rare companies," combining: a "disruptive vision" for ecommerce, also capable of building rugged software that speeds consumers to buy stuff.

New York Times Magazine takes a close look at Amtrak 188
New York Times Magazine
Tuesday, February 02, 2016
The New York Times Magazine
examines the crash of Amtrak 188, one of the worst rail disasters in U.S. history. The incident occurred in North Philadelphia and impacted many lives locally.
From 30th Street Station, the train glided northwest out of Philadelphia, tracing the arc of the freeway. Near the old Schuylkill River Bridge, it jogged right, gathering speed, bound for the New Jersey border. Had you been standing anywhere near the tracks, you would have heard Amtrak 188 before you saw it, in the hum of the rail bed and the metallic shiver of the electricity in the overhead catenary wires. And then you would have felt it, in the vibration of the earth: the combined weight of a 98-ton locomotive and seven 50-ton cars, carrying a total of 258 people, eight of them employees...
In the days and weeks and months to come, every part of his northbound journey would be dissected by law enforcement, by the news media, by the public. It would be said, correctly, that the wreck of Amtrak 188 was the worst kind of anomaly — that train travel was safer than many other forms of travel, cars included, and that Amtrak's safety record was sterling. (This, too, is accurate: From 2000 to 2014, accidents on Amtrak routes dropped to 1.7 accidents per million passenger-miles from 4.1.) Bostian's personal life would be picked apart, his state of mind questioned. Theories would be floated and discredited: that there was some sort of mechanical problem with the locomotive, or the track, or the signals (none of the above). That Bostian was on his phone at the time of the accident (he was not). That he was using drugs or drinking (his blood was clean).
Finally, investigators would turn their focus on the section of track between North Philadelphia Station and Frankford Junction. Three miles of train travel: the distance it took for an otherwise unremarkable trip, overseen by an engineer known for his prudence, to go violently, impossibly wrong.

Growing local company Invisible Sentinel tackles food safety concerns
The New York Times
Tuesday, February 02, 2016
This Philadelphia startup gets a big spotlight in
The New York Times
. Their food-testing technology could help solve headaches for big companies like Chipotle who struggle with outbreaks of bacteria including E. coli or listeria that sicken customers.
Troubles for one business can mean opportunities for others. And the competitive field of food testing is one. Companies big and small are looking for ways to make food testing faster, more accurate and less expensive. It requires sophisticated scientific and technological skills and is far from the easiest point of entry for a small start-up. But one Philadelphia biotech company led by a pair of entrepreneurs is hoping it has found a niche.
The company,
Invisible Sentinel
, has developed a patented technology called Veriflow that uses a hand-held device to detect the DNA of micro-organisms like E. coli,
and listeria quickly and at a relatively affordable price. The technology has been approved by AOAC International, an association that sets standards for microbial food testing.
"It's like a
pregnancy test
— one line negative and two lines positive — except that it's amplified DNA that you're reading," said Benjamin Pascal, a co-founder of Invisible Sentinel.
Today, according to Invisible Sentinel, 114 companies in the United States and more than 50 internationally use the technology at more than 250 different sites in 18 countries.
Wawa Inc., which owns dairy and beverage manufacturing plants as well as 715 convenience stores in six states, tested Veriflow for about six months before signing on in March 2013. "Invisible Sentinel's technology was two to three times faster than others," said Chris Gheysens, the company's chief executive.

Hope and fear in Atlantic City
Tuesday, February 02, 2016
Reuters takes a look at the changing face of Atlantic City -- a seaside city facing enormous challenges and working to embrace exciting opportunities.
Brimming with promise but ground down by poverty, Atlantic City is trying to reinvent itself even as it teeters on the edge of fiscal ruin. Its perception as a seedy locale is just one of several hurdles.
The city has been devastated by the quick collapse of its one-time monopoly on East Coast casino gambling and could see its cash flow run dry by April. The ravaged local economy laid bare the city's bloated budget and over dependence on a single industry.
Now, even as local elected officials are faced with the potential of a state takeover, they hope some seeds they planted to clean up crime-ridden areas and diversify the economy could begin bearing fruit before long.
The city has added new recreation and entertainment venues from Philadelphia developer Bart Blatstein, for example. Stockton University, which is nearby and has about 8,600 students, unveiled plans to expand there, and the city played host to a summer of successful beach concerts.
Clean-up efforts at a Texas Avenue playground and other parks have also worked. Overall, crime in Atlantic City fell by 9.3 percent in 2015 through November, compared to the same period the previous year, and has been declining for most of the last decade, according to state police data compiled by Reuters.?

2. McGillin's Olde Ale House
Established in the late 19th-century,
is the oldest continuously operating tavern in town. If you don't believe them, every single liquor license this
modern speakeasy

5. Brauhaus Schmitz
While this
South Street German beer hall
is normally your go-to venue to catch that other brand of football (along with
, a few blocks to the west), this year you can join the ranks of like-minded fans who believe that football—even the American kind—is best paired with lederhosen and giant draughts of bier. The game will be broadcast on the big screen in their Brauer Bund Beer Hall. Their $50 Super Bowl special includes pork rinds, roast beef, meatballs, wings, and more, all you can drink beer, and tax and gratuity. Make reservations by visiting

The Rapierman The Rapierman Jan 10, 2010 7:17 PM Flag
Is he, now? Let's check his past-month stats: 4 goals, 3 assists, -6, no penalty minutes, 4 power-play points and 73 shots on goal.
Now, let's compare these to the three that I have:
Horton: 7-11-2-2-3-52
Samuelsson: 5-4-5-6-0-43
Antropov: 8-4-6-10-3-26
It seems to me that I'm trading away the assists, goals and plus-minus in return for more shots on goal. You sure that he's going to get hot enough to replace one of them?
I wouldn't. Kessel has been pretty cold lately and Quick rarely sits on the bench.

Well, I would need a goalie replacement if I did this. There aren't many decent goalies left, I suspect, that could keep me from defaulting in that particular section.

sensi - why are we paying Sanofi $2.5M/qtr for ?? scripts. Not sure there is any benefit anymore (hard to tell).
Not a stretch in this case and Ellis will remain as a consultant. Sherman has been here 10 years and did most of the talking in CC's. Market might react but in all due respect, already has the last few days.
rumrunner - The IBB cost you the 4K and many other BIOs were slaughtered Thursday and Friday. Maybe the BREXIT turnaround will give some of that back to us?
really glenn (bought at $17.42 and sold at $17.92) in the last 15 minutes? Good luck!
Are you implying that a good measure is starter scripts meaning that new patients all do starter scripts? Can't the good DR's order 10 day supplies if insurance (medicare) now covers w/o using starter kits? Also, are the paid RX's the total paid in May or do the exclude those that ordered 60-90 day supply in April? These scripts are hard to fully identify how many patients are actually on V since January (which could be a few).
adam - I thought June's scripts were the last month before quarterly?
Also lost a day (memorial day) but June should show more improvement.
sweeting or sweating? I pulled some money out of RLYP the last week and put it into dividend paying non-BIO stocks such as FDUS and SFL (Shipping). Not much mind you. I bought UCO (OIL/GAS ETF) below $10 awhile ago and now watching if it goes below $12 again. The play there is IF oil goes above $50 and gas above $3 then "good" things may happen. As far as Relypsa, I have a core but this market is just killing any BIO whether it has a approved drug or is in early phases of trials. Like you said Lurker, all about cash and "cash is king" in this market. DO NOT TRUST this market until it proves some consistency.
Are now significantly underwater. Add to that T Rowe P who bought in at $20+ about 7M shares. They are down at least $150M. The BOD is actually a pretty stellar group of leaders and success. IPLEX is not too far off anymore. Arikayce is now what the UBS guy (Roden) said last November - "a 2017 story". Unless we see a significant sell-off, we will recover if all else hold true but be sure to know NOBODY is happy right now except the shorts!
These are the times to write negative reports (even "lies") because the market is heavily leaning towards a down side. The bears are winning and those who used to believe in investing $'s on good stocks are getting beaten up. Therefore little trust is left (some panic sets in too). When or where does this stop. The FED can go fly on their interest rate hike. This market reflects the economy, mood and motivation of the world. too many negative things emphasized (and rightly so) and nothing much positive anymore.
Well, if we don't trust this psycho market, cash is at least safe. Hard to believe they have done another round of BIO beat downs after already changing the valuation rules.
marvin - IBB/XBI have dropped significantly the last 2 days so most BIOs took haircuts. INSM would be more severe but most of this is the IBB spiraling down.
And normally RLYP takes the big hit both days. PPS should be maybe $17.25-$17.50 but we have stood strong and went up to $19.75. Last Friday we said it was "covering" or nothing meaningful. Today we say? What does Berens say? Another hit piece and a downgrade?
med - By syaying the "CEO" you do mean the CEO, Senior Executives, the BOD and the major holders of stock (5% and above for starters). These "decisions" are not made by one individual. Hopefully Sam Islay (ORBIMED) and the other large stock holders put pressure on a sale if there truly are bidders.
Pharma - it's a MESSAGE BOARD - no intelligence required. Anybody can post any nonsense they want. All BIO market DD and stock logic is no longer useful in this "clown show". Just like some of the ANALysts we know and "love".
The underlying issue is the BIO market in general. The IBB just took a 20 pt hit in 3 days after climbing past 286 towards 300. So, all stocks associated with the IBB (most that is) have had a 30%+ haircut since last August. The market changed the rules and has discounted accordingly. Your house analogy actually occurred between late 2007 and beyond where a house that was assessed a $400K value became less than $300K. We do have the law of "supply and demand" working for us as BP till has to recover the loss of revenue de to the "patent cliff" effect on its stellar drugs (which now have competition). Veltassa is almost the perfect drug with so many obstacles passed in the last 8 months. This "new" market (HK/CKD) and other potential uses make this very attractive yet the BIO market has discounted significantly. Again, HOW could these other BP's bid between $2.3B and $2.7B for an UNAPPROVED drug last fall (which makes no sense) versus what Relypsa's veltassa potential and being approved in last October. Why are so many TUTES buying more shares or standing pat?
on his twitter site. Decent discussion going on there and many are recent TWEETS.
Some posted that AZN has just opened "stability" jobs that are TEMP starting 6/30/16 thru 6/30/17 wonder if that is related to a new ZS-9 stability study?
Even those that were "completed" were updated on the clinical trials site just recently. The ZS005 still says December, 2016 though. Maybe they were waiting for the PDUFA (5/26) to do so?
What Show Anton? And we both know the SHOW must go on!!! (3 Dog Night) We are walking on the wire - don't look down
Only question all afternoon is what is so "special" about $19.30? MM's are keeping it within .10 either side.
