Adam Saper, the CFO of Eataly, knows whether locals are buzzing about by stalking the dairy sales: "Tourists don't buy milk." His brother, Alex Saper, the GM, loosens his shoulders and laughs every time he's asked if the crazy Italian customers are "hired actors." The brothers Saper need not worry. Judging by the excitement around yesterday's birthday bash, and that lines were out the door pre-Irene, Eataly is booming. Although, there have been some bummers.
"Our little, to-go pizza shop never took off," admits Adam, who blames the quietness of 24th Street and that "people just don't talk about it, or know about it." Another defeat? "Selling whole fish didn't really work out," adds Alex. "In Italy, people want to buy a whole fish; in New York, they just don't go for it. Our customers want it pre-filleted. This city isn't ready for it, or people are just in a rush."
On the flip side, there have been a few shockingly popular items. "We knew our mozzarella and rotisserie would be big, but I had no idea how much people loved anchovies. We've had to restock our anchovies constantly since day one!" Alex adds, "Sardines, too!" Another hot item? Sea Urchin, say the boys.
But what's next for Eataly? "La Birreria stays open all year long," they assure. "There's a retractable roof, sun lamps, and … Mario will warm everyone with hugs, at least in spirit." (Batali couldn't make the party, but Lidia Bastianich was running around with a sharp knife … cutting cake.)
Speaking of Molto, has The Chew filmed at Eataly yet? "They've definitely shot some things here, yes," confirms Adam. And the school they're opening up next door? "It will be an extension to the courses we already offer at Eataly, but with a few pop-up restaurants too," nods Alex.
And the million-dollar question: Where will the next Eataly be? "We'll definitely open in Los Angeles or D.C. before there's another one in New York," says Adam. "The original L.A. location rumor isn't true, but we're actively trying to find something there."
Then the boys were whisked away by a movie-star-like Italian man, and Grub Street had some gelato.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- The countdown is under way for Friday's launch of the space shuttle Endeavour -- with Navy Capt. Mark Kelly in command.
Kelly and his crew flew to Kennedy Space Center this afternoon. And the shuttle commander says his wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, will be arriving there "pretty soon."
She's been undergoing rehabilitation in Houston for the gunshot wound she suffered in January in Tucson.
Her husband says she's been looking forward to attending the launch "for a long time" -- and that she's been "working really hard to make sure that her doctors would permit her to come."
Kelly says she's "more than medically ready" to make the trip.
President Barack Obama and his family also will attend the liftoff.
Endeavour is set to blast off Friday afternoon on its final voyage. It will be the next-to-last space shuttle mission.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2014 -- Although the lending market is now home to people with low credit rankings, most of them are still obtaining financing at very high costs. This is a situation that is even worsening their situations owing to increased cases of late payments, unsettled payments and defaulting.

The platform in use will also be available 24/7 to ensure that one is able to submit an application immediately a financial problem strikes. There task will also be easy since there will be no documentation or faxing.
With the huge number of lenders who will be reviewing applications, consumers should also expect other features to be competitive including fees and repayment plans. Nowpersonalloans.com has even made efforts to ensure that applicants are able to choose their own repayment terms when going for this bad credit history personal loan. This will be assisting in limiting cases of financial constraints when clearing payments.
Wendy Grant is one of the customers who commented on this offer and she spoke out her mind saying that, "I have used this company a number of times to meet some challenging situations and the services were very encouraging. Things now stand to be even better with this announcement of lower rates and this is a move that most consumers will come to appreciate since the economy is pretty demanding. Thank you for putting in the effort."

PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (NNS) -- One of the U.S. Navy's eight training centers dedicated to aircrew water survival finalized the $1.1 million installation of equipment Oct. 12, which will serve to expand the center's life-saving training capabilities and directly support Navy aircrew readiness.
Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) Patuxent River, Md., completed installation of a Jib Crane, which submerges and rotates the Modular Egress Trainer Simulators (METS M40) multi-seat underwater egress trainer capsule in a swimming pool.
The METS M40 is used to train fixed- or rotary-wing pilots and crew in aircraft ditching and underwater egress training procedures. Cmdr. Mathew Hebert, Naval Aviation Survival Training Program manager, said the new equipment adds value to Navy Medicine and will have positive lifesaving and readiness benefits to joint U.S. military warfighters serving aboard aircraft throughout the world.
"The mission of the ASTC's and their importance to the fleet are to prepare aeronautical personnel, selected passengers, project specialists and other authorized individuals who fly aboard USN or U.S. Marine Corps aircraft in the areomedical aspects of flight and survival," he said. "This crane will make the high-risk training delivered to these warfighters safer, more relevant and more cost efficient, and will help ensure their continued readiness."
All eight Navy Medicine-managed ASTCs employ the METS M40, purchased through Survival Systems Incorporated over a 10-year period. The METS M40 is designed to replicate large, wide-bodied fixed- or rotary-wing aircraft.
Hebert said the new Jib Crane is safer, easier to operate and more reliable. The new crane is capable of moving the METS along multiple axies, simulating a variety of previously unavailable emergency situations and possibilities to students.
According to Hebert, the new crane also represents an enormous stride in providing exceptional value and helping lead Navy Medicine to jointness and interoperability, something which should be echoed throughout the fleet.
"The total number of Navy and joint personnel trained by all eight ASTC across the Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) enterprise averages 23,000 students over the past five years," he said. "The cost-benefit savings - and lives saved in actual fleet mishaps - associated with upgrading these cranes is phenomenal."
Of the eight ASTCs in the continental United States, the Jib Crane install at Patuxent River, Md., marks the seventh crane to become operational. The final ASTC Jib Crane installation is scheduled at the Naval Air Station Pensacola ASTC in November.
ASTC Patuxent River, Md., is one of eight ASTCs of which NSTI maintains oversight. NSTI is a subordinate command of the Navy Medicine Operational Training Center (NMOTC), located in Pensacola, Fla.
ASTC Patuxent River, Md., NSTI and NMOTC are part of Navy Medicine Education and Training Command (NMETC), the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery's point of accountability for all Navy Medicine education and training.
NMETC, NMOTC, NSTI and ASTC Patuxent River are all part of the Navy Medicine team, a global health care network of Navy medical personnel around the world who provide high-quality health care to more than one million eligible beneficiaries. Navy Medicine personnel deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, providing critical mission support aboard ship, in the air, under the sea and on the battlefield.

In Honor of Love Bracelet, Cartier Debuts Short Film Featuring Air
On Wednesday, French jeweler Cartier debuted a short film on its Facebook page in honor of its Love bracelet. The four-and-a-half minute short is directed by Waverly Film's Ben Dickinson, and features a new song by electronic band Air.
The theme of the film, called "Painted Love," is linked to Cartier's "How Far Would You Go For Love?" campaign. The Love bracelet itself only flashes in the last few seconds of the film.
Digital marketing firm The-Hours created the campaign. "The 30-second spot is dying," Alexandre Sap, president and CEO of The-Hours, said. "It's very expensive and you just give out one signal. There are too many touch points now in the new world."
Luxury brands are increasingly seeking to find a different, more intimate form of engaging their audiences, using social media.
The goal of a digital campaign like the Love film is to get Cartier's Facebook fans to share this content with their friends. That buzz eventually can lead to views and engagement, and if successful, extend into the retail space, Mr. Sap said.
"When we create a campaign, we say, 'Does this content reinforce my self esteem when I share this on Facebook?'," Leslie Dubest, The-Hours chief creative officer, added. The objective is to try to get around two million views for the film series, he said. "It's our job to create passion, conversation and emotion. It's a triptych."

Your location is set for Ashburn, VA 20147
Tools & Resources
Revised: March 2014
There are many types of conditions that can result in a flood: Spring thaws, heavy rains, hurricanes and the rapid accumulation of rain after a wildfire are just some of them. And, while certain areas are prone to flooding, it can happen anywhere and at any time. According to Floodsmart.gov, floods are the No. 1 natural disaster in the United States. "Anywhere it rains, it can flood," the federal government-run site declares.
So, are you prepared? Beyond readying your home and developing a family emergency plan, being prepared for a flood means understanding a bit about insurance.
Most important is the fact that a standard homeowners insurance policy typically doesn't cover flood damage. And because floods can occur anywhere, you should strongly consider purchasing a separate National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) flood policy through an insurance agent. The NFIP is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Not everyone understands the need for a separate flood policy. In fact, research shows that there's a common misconception that homeowners insurance covers flood damage when, in fact, it typically doesn't. In a March 2013 survey commissioned by Allstate, 44 percent of Americans said they believed they were covered for weather-related floods, when, in fact, only 15 percent reported having purchased a flood insurance policy through the NFIP.
"Some people believe flood is part of their standard homeowners policy and, sadly, don't realize they need a separate flood policy until it's too late," said Mark Green, a senior vice president at Allstate.
Costs for flood insurance will vary depending on how much coverage you buy, what the policy covers (does it just cover the structure? the contents of your home?) and your property's flood risk. The NFIP offers flood risk maps that can help you identify your community's level of risk.
If your home falls in a high-risk flood area and you carry a mortgage from a federally regulated or insured lender, your lender is legally mandated to require flood insurance on your property. Typically, that's not the case if your home falls in a moderate-to-low risk area; however, a lender may require you to hold flood insurance at any time—even if the company is not legally mandated to do so, according to Floodsmart.gov.
To obtain NFIP insurance, your community must participate in the program. Most do, but not every municipality across the country does. Here is where you can find out whether your community is one of the more than 21,8000 that do take part (click on your state, and then search through the alphabetical listing of communities to see if yours is on the list).
There are also other things you can do to help protect your property and loved ones against a flood. Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) to keep in mind:
While flood insurance is offered through the NFIP, policies are sold and administered by private insurance companies like Allstate. Find an agent near you to talk about your flood insurance needs. Because most policies don't take effect until 30 days after signing, don't wait until the storm season is upon you to purchase yours.

Sharing best CSR practices with our suppliers
In November 2015, as part of our Responsible Purchasing program, we organized a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) training in Shanghai for our Asian suppliers. The aim was to share best practices in terms of CSR, explain our Sustainable Purchasing Policy and clarify our expectations towards our supply chain. We also took the opportunity to reward suppliers for achieving high level of CSR performance during their onsite audit.
50 participants representing 28 companies attended to this event and three companies were awarded for their good CSR performance.

Sun Village is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Beijing, China whose mission is to aid the children of long-term prisoners. To attract sustainable donations, it encourages individuals and companies to sponsor its vegetable and fruit farms. This raises funds to grow food and at the same time supports the children's development. By growing their own food, they learn a sense of responsibility and independence and also understand the value of work.
Gemalto had sponsored 60 grape vines through our Your World community program. When crops produce a surplus, sponsors are invited to help in harvesting them. So in August 2015, 25 employee volunteers visited the village, attended a dance performance, had lunch with children – and harvested some grapes.
"It was really a very meaningful event. The enjoyment of dancing, playing and eating with the little children will stay deeply in our hearts", concluded Fion, an employee participating in the event.
Huge efforts turned into rewarding moments when 26 employees from Gemalto Curitiba, Brazil spent part of their weekend making improvements to the facilities of APAE, a local organization that looks after children with special needs. Among the activities were painting the facilities and gates, and constructing a wall.
"The volunteering event is a great opportunity to help those in need. We combined our knowledge, expertise and abilities in the name of solidarity. Anybody who joins in and experiences the feeling of improving other people's lives will certainly participate again. Though the activity only lasted a day, the results will brighten the days of many children for a long time," said Jonathan, HR Assistant.
"Doing something for others was great, and even more so when our work helped APAE. This was the first time that I joined Gemalto in this kind of activity and from now on I will always participate!" said Elaine, Production Operator.
Since March 2015 Coop Bank Denmark is deploying Gemalto's unique bio-sourced Optelio Contactless EMV cards. This represents the first commercial rollout of its kind, further strengthening Coop Bank's commitment to environmental sustainability. The cards are manufactured from a unique, corn-based PLA1 material that is biodegradable while retaining the potential for creative, high quality artwork solutions. The innovative combination of bio-sourced technology and contactless EMV has been approved by the major international payment associations. In the summer of 2015 the card will also incorporate the national payment scheme, Dankort. Under the multi-year agreement, Gemalto is providing the bank with comprehensive artwork, production and fulfilment services. "Having already deployed the first ever bio-sourced EMV cards from Gemalto's Optelio range, it is a natural step for Coop Bank to also launch the first dual interface version of the product. We hope this will set a new global environmental standard for the banking industry," said Charlotte Skovgaard, Managing Director for Coop Bank Denmark.

In May 2014, fifteen Gemalto employees from India did voluntary work at Soda village in a remote area of Rajastan.Water is said to be source of life. Throughout the year, the villagers in Soda receive water for their daily use like drinking, cooking and bathing from a single source - a nearby lake. Unfortunately, during the rainy season, flood water from the lake reaches a closed crematory and becomes dangerously polluted. To avoid this and improve their lives, villagers have started building a wall around the lake.As a voluntary activity through the Your World program, our fifteen employees each contributed a day's work in helping to build the wall. They started by learning the needs and challenges of the project. Later on, they built approximately 10 meters of the wall, hoping this small act would help the villagers take another step towards their goal of having unpolluted water.The volunteer activity was organized in coordination with the elected head of the village, who has also received several awards for her contribution to rural development.
…to kitchens in CambodiaOur partner supports projects that aim to improve people's living conditions while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In Tisséo's case, they help fund the distribution in Cambodia of cooking stoves using 20% less wood.
Reducing CO2 emissions, increasing healthIn many developing countries, people use inefficient stoves for cooking and heating, thus polluting their homes. As a result many women and children suffer from respiratory diseases. By using less wood, deforestation can be reduced, CO2 emissions lowered, and hard work alleviated. And by reducing toxic fumes, domestic health can be improved.
In 2013, one of our leading R&D engineers, Jean-Paul Caruana, received a prize from the French National Research Agency for his 'F@CIL' project. The innovation enables high-speed, low-energy interactions in the fast-growing field of contactless transactions between smart cards and readers, with applications in, for example, payment, transport and ePassports.
As a result, six patents were applied for with a view to deploying the technology worldwide..

Jungle of the Apes is open in the fall, winter and early spring. When the weather is warm during these seasons, some apes may make occasional appearances outdoors. Jungle of the Apes is closed in the summer season when the great apes are outdoors at Fragile Forest.
In this indoor, winter exhibit, groups of western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, and Sumatran orangutans live in surroundings reminiscent of their native habitats.
This comfortable, stimulating environment fosters natural group behaviors and interactions among individuals, facilitates breeding of these endangered species and provides visitors with a glimpse of the great apes behaving much as they would in the wild. For instance, the chimp display at the Jungle of the Apes features a "termite mound" which illustrates the chimp's ability to use tools to obtain specific food items. The termite mound is actually a hollow container with a favorite food item (usually honey) inside. The chimps use various tools, such as small sticks, to fish the treats out through small holes in the mound.

DENVER (PC) -- Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal and assisted on rookie Nathan Mackinnon's go-ahead score, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 Saturday night for their second six-game win streak this season.
Ryan O'Reilly also had a goal and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 29 saves for the Avalanche, whose 12-1 start is the best in franchise history. P.A. Parenteau added an empty-net score at 19:22 of the third.
Brendan Gallagher scored a power-play goal for the Canadiens.
Landeskog, who had the game's first goal, fired a shot from the wing that bounced away from goalie Peter Budaj. Mackinnon backhanded the rebound into the net to put the Avalanche on top 2-1 at 8:01 of the third. Little more than three minutes later, O'Reilly got a wraparound shot through Budaj for another goal.
Montreal snapped Colorado's season-long streak of 22 consecutive penalty kills on Gallagher's power-play goal at 3:38 of the third period.
With Maxime Talbot in the box for slashing, P.K. Subban took a shot from the point. Giguere couldn't quite corral the puck and Gallagher, positioned at the top of the crease, knocked in the rebound to tie it 1-all.
Landeskog had just climbed onto the ice to begin a shift when he got a lead pass from Marc-Andre Cliche. He built up a head of steam as he pushed the puck down the ice before pulling up in the middle of the left circle and slapping a shot up high that rocketed over Budaj's stick-side shoulder and into the corner of the net for a 1-0 Colorado lead at 11:14 of the second period.
The teams fought through a scoreless first period with both Budaj and Giguere making key saves.
Before the game, the Avalanche retired the No. 52 jersey of longtime defenceman Adam Foote in ceremonies that had the crowd roaring before the puck was even dropped.
Foote, whose 19-year NHL career included two Stanley Cup titles with Colorado, was praised as the ultimate competitor and warrior by his former teammate, Avalanche executive Joe Sakic.

It Holding SpA Files for Bankruptcy, Saks Reels from Fall Discounts, Textiles and Retailers Keep Cutting Jobs
By Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan
The Daily Thread rounds up the major fashion news of the morning.
Luxury fashion company It Holding SpA's shares were suspended indefinitely by the Italian stock exchange Monday as it became the first notable Italian luxury company to face bankruptcy since the credit squeeze began. The news highlights a growing trend in Italy's textiles and fashion sector, as smaller, family-run players struggle to pay their debts amid the ongoing crisis. Late Sunday, It Holding, home to the Gianfranco Ferre and Malo labels, said its Ittierre unit was filing for bankruptcy protection under Marzano Law to allow the group to be restructured and continue its business operations, after running out of money to pay royalty fees to brands it has under license. WSJ
When Saks Fifth Avenue slashed prices by 70% on designer clothes before the holiday season even began, shoppers stampeded. Saks' deep, mid-November markdowns were the first tug on a thread that's now unraveling long-established rules of the luxury-goods industry. The changes are bankrupting some firms, toppling longstanding agreements on pricing and distribution, and destroying the very air of exclusivity that designers are trying to sell. "One of the big questions that people are asking," Stephen I. Sadove, Saks' chief executive says, is: "Will people ever buy at full price again?" WSJ
Apparel and textile manufacturers cut 9,600 jobs in January and department stores slashed 8,600 positions as U.S. payrolls fell by 598,000, the worst loss in 34 years. The U.S. Labor Department said employment at department stores fell to 1.5 million workers, and specialty stores added 1,400 positions to employ 1.45 million. As consumer spending dropped last month, layoffs across all sectors were announced, including cuts at Target Corp., Saks Inc., Macy's Inc., Liz Claiborne Inc., The Bon-Ton Stores Inc., Home Depot Inc., Starbucks Corp., The Boeing Co. and Caterpillar Inc. WWD
American Eagle Outfitters Inc. sued Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and accused it of fraudulently inducing it to buy $258 million worth of auction rate securities that it now can sell only at a significant loss, if at all. Citigroup represented the securities as safe and liquid and therefore compatible with the Pittsburgh-based clothing retailer's conservative investment policies, according to the suit. Instead, American Eagle claimed, Citigroup knew there was not enough demand for the securities to keep them liquid. A Citigroup Inc. spokeswoman declined to comment Friday. AP
Baugur, the Icelandic retail investor, faces another week of uncertainty as potential buyers circle assets including House of Fraser and Hamleys after its U.K. subsidiary was put into administration last week. Sir Philip Green and Theo Paphitis, the Dragons' Den judge, are likely to be interested in parts of the portfolio, while private equity groups including Bridgepoint, Alchemy, Sun Capital Partners and Permira have been linked as well. Baugur is thought to have debts of more than £1.3bn, and has been breaching covenants for the past four months as it tried to renegotiate the terms of its loans. Those negotiations broke down when its main lender, the Icelandic bank Landsbanki, successfully petitioned the High Court in London to place Baugur's U.K. subsidiary BG Holding into administration last week. The Telegraph
Last year's credit crisis hit the economy with a surprising jolt, and most economists expect the recession to drag on until at least the end of 2009, with only a meager recovery after that. But just as economists were caught flat-footed by the sharpness of the downturn, history says they could be surprised by the speed and strength of the recovery — once the economy shows signs of turning around. WSJ
Jason Wu is planning to unveil a Fall 2009 collection that will not "look like recession clothes" but will be inspired by "fairy tales." "The drawings are very like pencilly and dark and a little bit more gritty than the current fairy tales – you know like Disney, that's what one would expect," he says. "So this is just a different approach to it all. There's a whole bunch of little wood nymphs. It's drama. I think it's a great mood for fall." New York Daily News
Just 18 months after relaunching the Fendi fragrance business, LVMH Möet Hennessy Louis Vuitton announced Friday it will pull the brand's sole scent off the market. The company will stop selling its Fendi Palazzo women's fragrance, which it introduced in 2007, due to sales that "while encouraging, didn't meet expectations" in 2008, stated Gabriella Scarpa, country general manager for LVMH Perfumes and Cosmetics in Italy. At the time of its introduction, industry sources estimated Palazzo would ring up $50 million in global retail revenues during its first year on counter. WWD
Iconix Brand Group Inc. has filed a breach of contract suit against Rampage founder Larry Hansel for allegedly competing with the company, to which he sold the brand more than three years ago. In a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan on Feb. 3, the New York-based brand management firm, through its subsidiary IP Holdings LLC, accused Hansel and his company, Larry Hansel Clothing Co. LLC, of violating a clause barring him from directly competing against Rampage while still under contract. Mr. Hansel, who founded Rampage in 1983 and sold the brand to Iconix in 2005 for $45.9 million in cash and stock, did not return calls seeking comment. WWD
India's biggest discount retailer said hundreds of its stores were attacked over the weekend, after it failed to pay its security guards because of liquidity troubles. The attack points to the potential socio-economic implications of the credit crisis hitting India's ailing retail industry. Subhiksha Trading Services said about 600 of its discount food stores and warehouses were vandalised across the country, after it admitted it was on the verge of collapse as it had "mucked up on not raising equity." Subhiksha, which expanded tenfold to 1,655 stores in two years, generating $470 million in revenue, had been in trouble for months as it failed to pay suppliers and employees after its banks refused to lend it money. It was unclear whether laid-off workers were responsible for the attacks. Financial Times
William Ackman, the hedge-fund manager known for criticizing insurers and other companies over their performance, scrambled over the weekend to ease investor ire stemming from losses of his own. Investors smarting from a decline in Mr. Ackman's fund that bets exclusively on a resurgence of retailer Target Corp. are expected to be told about new breaks on fees and will be allowed to withdraw completely from the fund, a person familiar with the matter said. The fund in question, called Pershing Square IV, primarily uses stock options to wager that Target's share price will rise. But Target's stock hasn't cooperated, and the fund's losses were amplified through the use of options. WSJ

Different Styles of Play in TournamentsNovember 4, 2013 - 11:06am
by David "The Maven" Chicotsky
There's a big difference between passive and aggressive play, but it's important to realize that very likely when playing tournaments you'll need to come up with a mix of both styles to succeed. These two styles aren't mutually exclusive; in fact, they tend to compliment each other. If you're playing passively, you're spring-loaded to make an aggressive play (possibly a bluff) with a higher chance of pulling the move off successfully. If you're playing aggressively, you're primed to be able to enter into pots cheaply and hit a hand. If you make a big hand, due to your previous aggressive streak, you're more likely to get paid off on the hand now.
There's no magic formula for what ratio of passive plays and aggressive plays are needed to make a final table or win a tournament. The main key to this entire discussion revolves around adapting to the table conditions present—as well as your table image (relative to your prior play and the hands you've shown down). Don't define yourself as one type of player or another— simply approach each table with an open mind and be the chameleon; adapt to the situation.
I Disagree with Phil HellmuthNovember 2, 2013 - 11:59am
by George Epstein
Phil Hellmuth is admired by many poker players throughout the world for his accomplishments. In addition to his record 13 World Series of Poker bracelets, he won the Main Event of the 1989 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the Main Event of the 2012 World Series of Poker Europe. He is a member of the WSOP's Poker Hall of Fame, and is ranked among the top all-time money winners. (He has also earned a reputation for insulting other players).
Recently, a friend gave me a copy of Hellmuth's book, Play Poker Like the Pros. I found several items that conflict with my teachings to my Seniors Poker Groups. For example, Hellmuth relates a hand he played at Foxwood's Casino in Connecticut. It was a $2,500 buy-in limit Hold'em game during the "World Poker Finals." Stakes were $300-$600. He was in the Big Blind holding 8-8. Three players called the blind ($300) preflop. He wrote, "because I had 8-8, I raised." Note: In his book, Hellmuth lists 8-8 as one of his "Top Ten" Hands. He also recommends: "Always raise with these hands, no matter what it costs you to get involved." With this, too, I disagree.
Tricky Table TalkNovember 1, 2013 - 11:39am
by Shari Geller
To talk or not to talk, that is the question. This Hamlet-inspired question has nearly the same life or death meaning if you are all-in with your tournament life at stake. A recent episode on ESPN of the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event brought to mind the Shakespeare quote as an all-in player decided whether to engage her opponent in table talk while he considered his move. She decided to talk, and had what she said been picked up, she would have died right then. But sometimes, when you talk, your opponent doesn't listen and you are given a new lease on life.
Texas amateur Beverly Lange was one of four women left in the field of about 150 players remaining on Day 5. Her opponent, 2010 Main Event bubble boy Brandon Steven, had bet 167,000 into a pot of 385,000, holding top pair on a 4s-Ks-7s-2d-2h board. She snap-raised all-in for an additional 260,000. Steven leapt from his seat when she made that bet, clearly surprised and irritated. If he called, it would be for one-third of his stack. What he didn't know was Lange only had pocket Jacks, and if he called, she'd be knocked out of the tournament.
Anti-RangeOctober 31, 2013 - 11:09am
by Ashley Adams
A lot of poker theorists, players, and writers talk about "range"—that is finding an opponent's playing range. This refers to the range of hands that an opponent may be playing. It's considered helpful in devising your playing strategy to consider what range of hands your opponent is likely to be playing. So, for example, if you have a tight opponent who raises from early position, you might not be able to pinpoint the exact hand he has, but you might put him on a "range" of hands—anywhere from AK, JJ, QQ, KK, or AA. This concept works for limit, no limit, hold'em, stud, Omaha, or indeed any type of poker.
I find this exercise of putting opponents on a range of hands to be useful. And, to be sure, I do it regularly—almost automatically—when I play. But I find another concept to be even more useful. I call it ANTI-RANGE. That is, figuring out the hands that my opponent is NOT likely to have. From my experience, I find that by deducing what my opponent doesn't have, I can take advantage of many bluffing opportunities that I might not normally consider.
Mike Caro: Today's word is... CRISPOctober 28, 2013 - 11:06am
I teach that you usually should make your actions at the poker table swift and certain. Swift. And certain. I call this playing crisp—which is today's word. Now I'll explain why playing crisp can bring you mountains of profit. And I'll point out some exceptions.
Let me ask you a question? What do you fear most about your poker opponents? That they'll draw out and beat you when you have a great hand? That they'll cheat you? That they're superior to you? Sure, you should be concerned about that and more.
Fine. But psychologically, there are two thing players fear most about their opponents—good luck and strong confidence.
Fear of good luck
Treating Poker Like A BusinessOctober 21, 2013 - 11:04am
by David "The Maven" Chicotsky
One of the things I've always liked about poker is it's a one-man team. I grew up playing competitive tennis in and around Texas. When things didn't go my way, it was one person's fault - mine. Don't get me wrong, team sports have positive attributes as well. There's just something beautiful about being in control of your own destiny.
If there's one observation I've made over the more than half decade I've been knee-deep in poker - very few poker players treat poker like a job or a serious business. Bankroll management is one of the most widely used terms in the industry and one of the least implemented. Especially with the overall demise of online poker in the USA, many tournament poker players are forced to play live tournaments. Instead of being able to buy into 10 different $50 tournaments at once, the same player might be in one $500 tournament. Instead of being able to distribute their risk (similar to buying into a mutual fund that has many stocks in its portfolio), they end up essentially taking shot after shot in every tournament they play (akin to buying an individual stock) - exponentially increasing their risk of ruin.
The Mirror Crack'dOctober 16, 2013 - 11:21am
by Barbara Connors
To play quality poker, you must get a good read on your opponents, and to read your opponents, you must be able to see them clearly. There's the rub. Reading opponents requires objectivity, something which is frequently in short supply at the poker table. With so much at stake, with egos on the line and emotions running rampant, it's often difficult, if not downright impossible, to keep an objective viewpoint in the middle of a poker session.
But there's something else that can cloud our vision, something subtle and in a way, more insidious, because we're usually not even aware of its influence on our thinking. It's a psychological phenomenon known as the false consensus effect. This describes our natural tendency to assume that other people around us think and feel the same way that we do.
Mike Caro: Today's word is... BOXOctober 14, 2013 - 11:46am
Thinking "outside the box" sometimes provides a great advantage. But it can also lead to poker disaster. Here's why.
The concept of outside-the-box thinking means that you can stray from traditional step-by-step logic and find innovative solutions that aren't otherwise apparent. Fine. I do that routinely. Many truly great advances have happened because someone thought "outside the box."
Poker is no different. When you're faced with a routine decision about calling or folding, you should often think, "Wait! What happens if I raise?" Raise? Well, you can't raise. Nobody raises in this situation. Hmm… but what if I do?
Poker magic
Poker As An Investment GameOctober 7, 2013 - 11:27am
by David "The Maven" Chicotsky
In many ways, poker is an investment game. We are investing with a certain strength of cards, from different positions, against opponents with various chip stacks. Each component in the equation will change how we approach and play each hand. Overall, we are looking to ride the tide of the tournament until the end - with only us left with all of the chips.
One of the finer points of successfully navigating the tournament trails is figuring out which players to go after and which to avoid. Think of it in terms of investing. Would you invest against an investor like Warren Buffett (let's say, selling a stock that he just bought)? Likewise, would you want to play hands against Phil Ivey if you can help it? All of that said, given the cards we're holding, we're sometimes forced to enter pots, even if it is against a player we might not prefer playing against.
It's important to prioritize who we want to enter pots against and who we don't want to play against. If we create a sliding scale in our mind, it's possible to gauge our chances of winning a given hand by increasing the perceived value or devaluing any given situation. For example, we can devalue an ace-ten or ace-nine suited type hand if we're going up against a quality opponent. At the same time, a hand like 7-9 suited might be more than enough to raise into (or re-raise) a weaker player - taking control and willingly entering what we view as a positive expected value spot.
Mike Caro: Today's word is... DECISIONSSeptember 30, 2013 - 11:46am
Thursday night. Another in a long history of horrible football decisions made by coaches. It's time for me to speak about it, because it has much to do with poker.
Warning: Sometimes my moods fluctuate, causing me to project different personalities. If you're expecting the Mike Caro who is patient, kind to everyone, diplomatic, and semi-modest, you probably shouldn't read this one. It could destroy our relationship.

Greek Referendum Might Be Dead, But Stocks Are Still Down
The stock market has bounced back a little bit on a report that any Greek referendum on that country's bailout is now essentially a non-starter. But they haven't bounced back much.
The Dow is still down about 240 points, the S&P is off 2.4%, and the Nasdaq is down 2.5%. At the worst today, the Dow was down more than 300 points. So this is progress, but not much.
The 10-year Treasury note's yield is up to 2.02% from 1.97% earlier — again, a little less fear, but not much.
The VIX is still up 18% to 35.45.
Earlier, Dow Jones Newswires reported:
With markets being roiled by Prime Minister George Papandreou's snap decisionto call for a national vote on its debt restructuring package, a Greek SocialistParty official said a referendum was "basically dead." Separately, a Socialist lawmaker said he opposes a countrywide vote.
This may not be the unalloyed good it appears. This could mean that the government collapses on its way to avoid a referendum, which throws things into even greater uncertainty.

Also today we did some costume shopping (it's a surprise...), practiced hair styles, double checked raffle tent paperwork, and made a PSG tote for Wolfie. He has been wanting one to carry his Magic cards around in.
And our Dandies vegan marshmallows came in. They are smaller than I expected. For SHF I will try Sweet and Sara.
I went shopping for a bikini top. Nothing like bikini shopping to help motivate you to diet. I will be on a "wine only" diet until PSG.
One of the most difficult "to dos" today was going over my and Chris' PSG schedules and deciding what each of could realistically do.
I will keep you posted on our progress, shopping lists, activities, etc.

"I just wanted to clear the air for all these people talking about how I'm watching other people's pockets and I'm not worried about basketball and getting better," Wall said directly to the camera. "Listen, that doesn't matter to me. If I produce like I'm supposed to on the basketball court and take care of myself and image, I'm going to be fine with making money. That's not why I play the game of basketball."
"Me, talking about Bradley Beal [making] more money, I'm not mad. I'm happy. He's my teammate," Wall said Friday. "He came out at the right time when the contract money came up. I can't control that." Wall added that if he does what he's "supposed to do and the Washington Wizards win," he'll get his own salary bump in the future.
Wall also addressed rumors that he was "rankled" over James Harden's four-year, $118 million extension. "I don't care," Wall said of the Houston Rockets star's deal. "I'm happy for him. That's my guy. I'm not mad at him. … Please stop saying I'm watching money. I'm not."
"I'd have liked to be here for a little longer," Williams said of the one-year deal. "We'll see how it goes. It is what it is. For sure, I wanted to be back. I felt like I had some unfinished business at the end of last year the way things ended and I wasn't able to be on the court. Hopefully I'll stay healthy because I'm excited about this team."
Williams said the changes in the offseason, bringing aboard Barnes and Andrew Bogut in particular, should help offset the loss of Chandler Parsons and Zaza Pachulia. "We're definitely going to miss Chandler, but Harrison stepping in, that's not a downgrade," Williams said. "It's going to be great to see how he handles being a go-to guy. He's kind of been in the shadows (at Golden State). We'll see what he can do now with the ball in his hands. And I'm looking forward to playing with big Bogut. I've been a fan of his for awhile. He's definitely a player point guards like to play with."

J.P. Morgan Chief Executive James Dimon likes what he sees right now in the U.S. housing market.
Mr. Dimon has a pretty good forecasting track record this year, at least as far as housing goes. Consider that in January, Mr. Dimon said he thought that housing was nearing a bottom, and the bulk of the data out so far this year have supported that call.
"Every single thing about housing is flashing green," he said in an interview with CNBC-TV on Friday. "There's not one thing that's flashing red." Household formation is up, housing inventory is down, and housing affordability is at an all-time high, he said.
Mr. Dimon also noted that while the much-ballyhooed "shadow inventory" of properties that could one day become foreclosures is high, that shadow inventory is declining at a time that banks are getting smarter about foreclosure alternatives such as short sales, where a homeowner is allowed to sell his or her home for less than the amount owed.
Housing isn't going to recover in the absence of a strong economy, he said. "But if we get the economy going, housing has clearly turned," he said. If housing construction moved back to a more normal level of around 1.4 million new units being built every year—something he said would have to happen "soon" given demographic trends—then housing could begin creating many more jobs.
Mr. Dimon did have one concern: mortgage credit is still too tight. Getting regulators, lawmakers, and industry officials to hash out a bevy of new regulations would help provide clarity for the market.
"Fix what are the new rules around mortgages because I think it is too tight," he said. "[Property] appraisal is too tight, income appraisal is too tight, underwriting is too tight, and we don't know the new rules on capital requirements," he said. "If we get that finalized, it will help housing not hurt it."

Comments: We Must Disenthrall Ourselves
Have Dems disenthralled after having lost?
Are they winning now, and if so, having never disenthralled as is my opinion, are they about to?
My belief is the dogma of Reagan/Buckley-ism is worthy of emulation; or, at minimum, attempted emulation by anyone capable of which I am not. The goal is still on camera and available via the written word anytime anyone chooses to look.
And Chesterton had thoughts, perhaps based on Lincolns's thoughts, that are Buckleyesque to consider; namely, tradition is the voice of the dead.
Grammar aside (I think too.)

The GigaOM Interview: Dr. Mendel Roseblum, Chief Scientist, VMWare
,----[ Quote ]
| It took a lot longer than I thought it would take. We released it first on

| "This means enhancing Windows, Linux, Mac, x86, and ia64-based bare metal

Oracle 11g ships first on Linux, not Microsoft Windows

| "We're big proponents of Linux and standard technologies, so we're going to

An old saying claims time and tide wait for no man. That phrase certainly rings true for NHL players. No matter how talented or well conditioned, no matter how brightly their star burns, at some point they all encounter the inevitable decline of their skills and performance.
The players on this list enter this season facing a downturn in their play for a variety of reasons. For some, it's simply a matter of age, reaching the twilight years of their careers. Others are hampered by injuries. In some cases, it's a combination of both. Several have struggled after peaking early in their NHL careers.
Factors such as a player's age, skill level, production and injury history were taken into account in the compilation of this list. Feel free to offer up your opinion or counterpoints in the comments section.

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Airbus says that its upsized A380, capable of carrying up as many as 1,000 passengers, remains on the drawing board for launch in 2020.
Known as the A380-900, it's a big brother to the original A380-800 but was shelved in May 2010 due to soft demand for a supersized superjumbo.
"We have a design for the A380-900 which can be reactivated at the appropriate time" Bob Lange, Airbus vice-president of marketing for the A380, told Australian Business Traveller.
"My best estimate of that appropriate time at the moment would probably be (to enter service) at the beginning of the next decade."
Airbus is concentrating its energies on building the A380, Lange says, "and at the high end of the market we are not seeing the strength of demand to launch that product."
The A380-900 will carry at least 100 more passengers than current A380-800, with 650 passengers in a standard multi-class configuration and over 900 passengers if filled with with economy-only seating.
(Lufthansa and Air France-KLM had reportedly expressed interest in a 1,000 seat version, which is a lot of middle seats!)
TheA380-900 is essentially a stretched version of the A380-800, measuring 79.4m from tip to tail -- 6.4m (the length of a shipping container) more than today's A380.
Airbus executive vice president Tom Williams says that expanding the already huge A380-800 to even larger variants was the plan from the start.
"I lead the team that designed the wings of the A380, and (when she first saw the models) even my good lady wife was quick to point out that the wings are very big in comparison to the fuselage" Williams told Australian Business Traveller earlier this year.
"The wings are in fact designed for a much larger airplane, so we have the capability of going to a bigger fuselage – we can stretch the fuselage very easily."
"And we have airlines today who tell us they love the A380 but it's too small! Now it's not an engineering issue – we can make it bigger – it's more a question of what would be a good business case and where the market for this is."
These supersized aircraft are central to Airbus' belief that the global travel market will settle on "mega-hubs" for long-haul travel – each of which will cater to more than 10,000 passengers per day – with other destinations being reached by transfers.
And according to Airbus, those mega-hubs will demand a mega-sized A380 to provide enough seats.
Australian Business Traveller is visiting Airbus in Toulouse, France as a guest of Thai Airways.

Denver (AP)
University of Colorado economists expect the state unemployment rate to rise to 6.5 percent next year as the state joins the rest of the U.S. in a recession.
The rate was 5.7 percent in October.
A forecast released today by CU-Boulder's Leeds School of Business predicts Colorado will lose jobs in 2009 for just the seventh time since annual records have been kept since 1939.
Economist Richard Wobbekind of CU said he expects 4,000 job losses next year.
As of November, the office of state planning and budgeting was predicting a 5 percent unemployment rate for 2009.
The office is expected to issue its latest quarterly revenue and economic forecast later this month.

Leeds United Message Board
What a nightmare day!
GFH have shown their true colours and although Cellini may have agreed terms with how the hell can he pass the FL's fit and proper ruling. He couldn't when he tried to buy Palace and if he thinks forming a family company without his name on the sheet will pull the wool over the FL's eyes he should be very wrong. However, with Shaun Harvey in charge there who the hell knows!
To have the audacity to sack Big Mac (whether you are a fan of his or not), when you do not yet officially own the club is a mystery to me, but GFH must have given him the go ahead, which for me puts them in the NOT fit and proper category.
Under the circumstances the team did everyone proud and whether that form can be sustained remains to be seen. In the meantime we are a laughing stock once again, and I for one am not happy!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Just shows how loyal or over loyal fans can be, Bryan. You say the gates are up despite what you guys are having to go through.

31000 for the Huddersfield game despite being on a 6 match losing run. Average gates this year well up on last year yet we are apparently haemorrhaging money. something is not quite right!
It seems to me that GFH bought the Bates franchise and handbook on how to run a football club - rule one, don't invest! We forget too easily that what Leeds fans wanted was quality players coming in before the transfer window shut. Like in any sleight of hand trick our attention has been diverted - hey presto, no new players come in and we're not even discussing it! Instead, we are defending a manager who, under normal circumstances in a results driven profession, would have expected to get the sack after his team's historically abysmal performance.
GFH is playing corporate mind games - and probably still covering Bates' dark dealings. There are multi billionaires looking to buy English football clubs and it beggars belief that none have even considered buying the sleeping giant that is Leeds United. I suspect the reason is that if a strong potential owner appeared, one rich and honest enough not be bribed into silence about past dealings, he, or she, would be shunned by our present management.

You could be right Andy, but I am beginning to think there is more to this saga than meets the eye.
We are now between the devil and the deep blue sea. Cellini looks like he will pass the fit and proper test, and there is no doubt he has the money to invest. The mixed consortium are more palatable, but where will the investment come from? And where has all the money gone yet again?
According to reports we are losing money hand over fist, and yet gates are up, sponsorship is up, and the bankers are losing money? Someone must be paying themselves fortunes or else the interest on loans must be the highest in the world. Looks like we are being dredged before the Somerset levels!

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – The industry is mourning the loss of racer Tommy Aquino, 21, who died Feb. 2 after a head-on collision at a Piru, Calif., motocross track, where he was training.
Aquino, of Santa Clarita, was pronounced dead about 12:30 p.m. at Piru Ranch Motocross. The other rider, Michael Westerband, 23, suffered major injuries. Both riders were wearing helmets, authorities said.
A preliminary investigation indicated Westerband lost control of his motorcycle and hit Aquino. The death was ruled an accident.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office and the California Highway Patrol responded to the crash. A chaplain was requested at the scene, and Aquino's family apparently was there at the time of the crash, according to the Ventura County Star.
Aquino belonged to the American Motorcyclist Association Pro Racing organization and had competed professionally since 2008. "Aquino became known for his racing talent, quick wit and uplifting smile," the AMA said in a statement. Aquino's Facebook page indicates he was excited about the 2014 season.
"It's been a heck of a year racing with everyone in Superstock 1000. I've had some of the best races of my life on the big ZX-1000, racing with everyone from Isle of Mann legends, up and comers, to seasoned pros. It's been a huge pleasure to race in British Superbike with Team WD-40, and I hope to be back with everyone in 2014!" he wrote late last year.
Friends, fans and sponsors posted condolences on the page and released statements in tribute to Aquino.
Keith McCarty, motor sports racing division manager for Yamaha, called Aquino a "talented rider."
"Our deepest condolences go out to Tommy's father and mother, Tom and Carrie, and to Tommy's younger brother, Michael," he said.
Former Yamaha teammate Josh Herrin said Aquino was like a brother. "Tommy was an unbelievable person and will be deeply missed by people in the racing community across the world," Herrin said.
"Tommy was family to us, and the first rider on our race program," said Helmet House in a company announcement. "Every time Tommy visited our office he was all smiles and always full of enthusiasm for his next adventure. His next adventure was going to be a big one: Competing in the British Superbike Series for the WD40 team. Though he had only competed for a short time in the Superstock (1000cc) class for the team, he had already posted podium finishes and a win, and it was obvious Tommy was destined to continue his winning ways in the Superbike class."

Definition of winged bean in English:
winged bean
A tropical Asian pea plant that has four-sided pods with longitudinal flanges. The entire pod and the roots are edible and are noted for their high protein content.
- Psophocarpus tetragonolobus, family Leguminosae.
Example sentences
- Better known for its seed pods, green and dried seeds, and edible flowers, the winged bean also has an edible, nitrogen-fixing tuber which can be prepared like a potato.
- Although the plants are not only unrelated but quite different, the winged pea has often been confused with the winged bean, no doubt partly because the English common names are confusing.
- On our way we feasted on spicy peanut sauce with crispy rice chips; deep-fried king prawn rolls; herbed green bean salad with winged beans; and nam prik.
