For many Americans, elections are spectator sports. Despite the huge numbers who tuned in to this week's presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, historical data suggests that on Nov. 8, more than 40% of eligible voters will skip the polling stations and just watch the dramatic results unfold on TV.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
The American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) launches a creative campaign to try and get out the vote using posters targeted at a wide range of audiences.
Disney has had talks about a potential acquisition of Twitter, we've confirmed. They're working with bankers now to determine whether the deal makes sense, multiple sources have informed us.
While some reports have suggested that Twitter could fetch $30 billion, we are hearing that the price tag is much lower. Twitter stock is currently trending upward on the news, and Disney's downward. At the end of last week, Twitter's market cap was below $13 billion on Thursday, before rumors of a possible Salesforce acquisition broke. Twitter's market cap is now almost $20 billion, suggesting that investors believe it could optimistically fetch that price.
Disney, which owns media properties like ESPN and ABC, is hoping that the social media platform could amplify their reach. Twitter has also been dabbling in content partnerships, including one with the NFL. Successful implementation of these partnerships could also prove to be beneficial to a media conglomerate like Disney....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Disney is working with bankers now to determine whether the deal makes sense. A good or bad thing?
If you sink enough money into most marketing tactics, you'll see nearly immediate results. Since content marketing is often an exception to this rule, many marketers mistakenly think their content strategy is ineffective if results don't come quickly.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's a good look at the benefits of content marketing.
It's the color of power and strength. As well as love and Disney romance. But the meaning of red goes way beyond fast cars and heart-shaped chocolate boxes. Through evolution, and thousands of years of human civilization, red has been used to tell stories, stir emotion and to get us to spend more money. Learn what the color means to different cultures around the world, and find out how to best use it for your business in our exploration of the color red.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Red. It's the color of emotion and it can add emotion to your designs.
Some content pieces had what it took to become viral way before the internet era. We called that phenomenon "word of mouth" and it helped products and ideas to spread around with the speed of light.
In today's world, with so many communication means available, it should be easy enough for anyone to create a viral piece and unleash it into the world. Unfortunately, not everything online goes viral. Some pieces attract millions of eyeballs while others get their fair number of shares without entering the VIP club. Why?...

MotoGP World Championship Grand Prix 2012
Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda RC213V) will start from the pole position for his assault on a record sixth consecutive Australian Grand Prix win after rebounding from an early crash to set the fastest time on a cold and blustery day on his beloved Phillip Island Circuit. Team-mate Dani Pedrosa will join him on the front row after qualifying third.
Stoner was the leader almost from the start of the one-hour session, held in typically changing Phillip Island weather. And he was on top when he fell for the first time since his return to racing at the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. Ironically, he fell on the entry of Honda Corner, a hairpin right, one of the few rights on the heavily left-biased track. Fortunately, Stoner was able to avoid the tumbling motorcycle in the gravel trap and did no further damage to his surgically repaired right ankle. That was evident when he bounded to his feet to return to his pit box.
After only a five minute respite he was out on his second bike. He would improve his lap time three more times, finishing with a best of 1m, 29.623s to capture his fifth pole position and first since the U.S. Grand Prix before the summer break. Stoner was then denied a chance to further lower his pole time when a light rain fell in the waning moments of qualifying.
Having earlier announced that he would be retiring at the end of his final campaign, Stoner is determined to go out with a victory in front of what promises to be a record crowd of his fellow countrymen.
Pedrosa was not able to challenge for the pole after encountering a few problems. First was that he was not able to get heat into the hard rear tyre option. Then came the realisation that he had chosen the wrong motorcycle for his final charge at pole. On the last run he finally got feeling into his tyres and was able to set his best lap time.
Having won five of the past six races, Pedrosa goes into Sunday's race hopeful of further cutting into the championship lead of Jorge Lorenzo, the Yamaha rider who qualified second.
Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda MotoGP RC213V) was also denied a faster lap time by the rain at the end of the hour that interrupted progress the team was making. In his first visit to Phillip Island on a MotoGP machine, the German had vastly improved from Friday's practices and gaining confidence with every corner when the rain stopped his momentum. Now he will start the race from the middle of the second row in fifth place.
Alvaro Bautista (San Carlo Honda Gresini RC213V) qualified seventh on an eventful day. The Spaniard struck a sea gull in morning practice, with the bird getting the worst of it. Bautista continued on and continued to improve his time in qualifying, right up until the rain forced him to settle for seventh. Bautista will line up on the row three pole.
Michele Pirro (San Carlo Honda Gresini FTR-Honda) was 14th fastest this afternoon and the third fastest of the CRT machines. The Italian, who was racing a MotoGP machine for the first time at Phillip Island, is hopeful he and the team can find a solution in morning warm-up that will allow him to more effectively exit the corners.
As it was last weekend in Malaysia, the weather here was constantly changing. But rather than tropical heat and showers, Phillip Island was plagued by a cold, howling wind, and intermittent cold showers. Rain affected every qualifying session, including Moto2.
Pol Espargaro (Tuenti Movil HP 40-Kalex) took the pole position as he tries to keep his slim championship hopes alive in the Honda-powered Moto2 class. Espargaro's lap time of 1m, 33.705s came mid-session, before the rain began to fall. In the second half of the session no one challenged him and Espargaro had his seventh pole.
But that may not be enough to prevent fellow Spaniard Marc Marquez (Team Catalunya Caixa Repsol-Suter) from winning his second world championship. Marquez, who qualified third, needs only two points in the final two races to add the Moto2 championship to his earlier 125cc world title. Wanting to take the title back to Spain, Marquez said he was going to be "calm" and stay out of trouble.
In between the title rivals came Brit Scot Redding on the Marc VDS Racing Team-Kalex. Like Espargaro, Redding's best time came prior to the rains. His time missed the mark of Espargaro by .559s, with Redding admitting that Espargaro would be difficult to beat.
Thomas Luthi (Interwetten-Paddock Suter) leads off the second row in front of Takaaki Nakagami (Italtrans Racing Team-Kalex), with Randy Krummenacher (GP Team Switzerland-Kalex) third. At the head of row three is Johan Zarco (JiR Moto2-Motobi). Alongside him are Andrea Iannone (Speed Master-Speed Up) and Anthony West, the popular Australian rain wizard on the QMMF Racing Team-Speed Up machine.
Efren Vazquez (JHK t-shirt Lagisse-FTR Honda) qualified on the front row for the third time this season in Moto3. Vazquez was third fastest behind recently crowned world champion Sandro Cortese and Jonas Folger.
Miguel Oliveira (Estrella Galicia 0,0-Suter Honda) starts on row two in sixth, with Maverick Vinales (Blusens Avintia-FTR Honda) eighth. The Spanish teen-ager had left the team in Sepang, but returned this week. Vinales apologised profusely for his behaviour and vowed to finish out the season.

'Whiplash' Trailer: J.K. Simmons Is a Vicious Perfectionist
Posted on Thursday, July 24th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
J.K. Simmons torments Miles Teller in Whiplash, pushing the kid beyond his breaking point in the name of excellence. Teller plays a young drummer who aspires to greatness; Simmons plays the elite music academy instructor whose teaching methods are anything but gentle. Miss a beat, and he'll spin a cymbal at your head like Captain America throwing his shield. This great first Whiplash trailer starts to show audiences the situation Teller's character gets into when he attempts to rise to a level of performance that will satisfy the teacher. Read More »

The normally unflappable Simon Cowell was said to be terrified after an alarming incident Saturday night when he came face to face with an intruder wielding a brick in his west London home.
Leanne Zaloumis, 29, thought to be an overzealous fan, was subdued by the X Factor judge's on-site security team, Reuters reports. She was later charged with trespassing on the property and intending to "inflict grievous bodily harm upon a person therein."
Cowell spokesman Max Clifford told the Sun that his client heard a loud bang and rushed upstairs to investigate.
"It came from the bathroom, so he went in – and there was a woman standing there holding a brick," Clifford said. "She had smashed her way in through the window, and it was unclear how long she had been there or what she was doing."
Clifford added: "It was a very frightening experience for Simon, who told me it was like something from a horror movie."
A rep for Cowell declined to comment to PEOPLE, but it is officially now a police matter.
Zaloumis, of Catford is southeast London, was due to appear at West London Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Anybody want to read a really, really, happy article?????
The article right here is a free agency preview by Football Oustsider, Bill Barnwell.
The meat and bones of it….. He predicts the Hawks will get Dallas Clark, Alan Faneca, and then franchise tag Marcus Trufant. This is obviously a Seahawk fan's dream offseason.
I won't say anything about whether or not this is possible. As far as I am concerned, keep hope alive!

At first I wanted to rip XBMP off as I think its basic clean layout is the best way to work, however it doesnt seem XMX would like this..
Anyhow, I knocked this up a few days ago:
Just in photoshop, its a millions miles away from a skin at the moment but you can see where I am trying to go with it.
One thing I may leave out is video preview, as cool as it is, I dont find myself using it, also, I guess I could do 2 versions one with and one without..
If anyone has any tips as to get this from a flat photoshop file into a skin, using MXM skinner of course then reply
Hopefullu should get it done in a few weeks...
One thing I am REALLY trying to do is make the whole STATS bit look cool.
It always seems to be one of the most misled parts, I would like ICONS for the network IP C, E drive stats and CDROM status, as you can see, I have tried to do this in the image above..

Professor Klare points out the frequency with which various symptoms of nonspecific origin displayed by tuberculin-sensitive children of hyperreactive so-called exudative-lymphatic constitution lead to erroneous diagnoses of clinically active tuberculosis. He stresses the necessity of exercising judgment, based not only on information yielded by special laboratory and clinical studies but also on a comprehensive knowledge of inherent familial and individual traits, in correctly differentiating infected children who do from those who do not require institutional care. His vigorous remonstrance against the frequent failure of physicians to exercise discrimination in recommending the institutionalization of infected children unquestionably is sound.
In addition to the confusion in diagnosis occasioned by the exaggeration of clinical manifestations of specific and nonspecific infections characteristic of the exudative-lymphatic type of constitution, the tendency to hyperreaction has a prognostic significance, according to the author, in that the hypersensitivity exerts a favorable influence on the course of tuberculosis.

Playoff-tested Knoblauch leading Otters into postseason
Erie Otters coach Kris Knoblauch has a championship in major-junior hockey.
His players want one.
"Coach knows what it takes to excel in the playoffs. He's been there. We've just got to take what he's given us and soak it all in," left wing Dane Fox said of Knoblauch, who led Kootenay to the 2011 WHL championship in his first season as a head coach.
Knoblauch has a better idea for his team.
"We're going to go through it together," he said.
Much like these Otters, Knoblauch said, he has little postseason experience at this level, especially compared to more seasoned coaches in the OHL. He spent a year as an assistant in the WHL with Prince Albert in the 2006-07 season before a four-year stint with Kootenay, the past two as head coach from 2010-12. He joined the Otters in November 2012.
But Knoblauch, 35, said this team learned how to win on the way to a franchise-record 52 victories in the regular season.
"They've gone through a lot this year," he said.
So the confidence gained from their success, and the excitement of what lies ahead in the playoffs, makes up for this team's lack of postseason experience.
"I don't think I have a whole lot of experience to pass on to them," Knoblauch said. "But we've got a lot of energy, and we're excited for this opportunity."
Still, the players are listening to Knoblauch more intently this week.
"He took a team that wasn't rated first and made it to the Memorial Cup," said center Brendan Gaunce, referring to a Kootenay club that finished fourth in the WHL's Eastern Conference but eliminated the league's top two teams, Saskatoon and Portland, on the way to a 16-3 playoff record and the league championship.
"None of us have been there yet," Gaunce said. "He's got the experience, and anything he tells us will be correct. We just have to come with open ears."
Knoblauch recalled the level of commitment it took during that previous title run.
"You have to be prepared and focused," he said. "That's very difficult to do (during) playoff hockey because it's emotional." That made each day quite stressful, especially when three of the five games in the league finals against Portland were decided in overtime.
The preparation for these OHL playoffs has begun. The stress likely has begun as well.
"I'm very excited for this," he said. "But like I expect from my players, you have to prepare. If you get too emotional, you're not doing your job as well as you can be."
The players will feed off Knoblauch's even-keeled, level-headed approach during the ups and downs the postseason often brings.
"There's going to be adversity for every player and every coach and every team in the playoffs," Gaunce said. "It's the teams that can get through the adversity fastest (that win). I think with someone that is as calm as he is, that will help us. In games (when) we're struggling, it's just a calming voice you need."
Knoblauch said the players in Kootenay "made my job a lot easier" because those players were "a very mature, focused group."
He expects these Otters to take the same approach on the road through the playoffs. He hopes eight players with past postseason experience share memories with teammates. Gaunce and Michael Curtis reached the Eastern Conference finals with Belleville in 2013, while Joel Wigle played in the league finals with Niagara in 2012. But this team will learn as it goes through the playoffs.
"It's a team experience," Knoblauch said, "and they're doing it together."
- Otters close to new arena lease: Casey Wells, the Erie County Convention Center Authority's executive director, said he's "very close" to finalizing a new multi-year arena lease with the Otters. Wells, who wouldn't disclose specific details, said the deal could be reached in "a matter of weeks or less." The Otters' current two-year lease expires after this season.

Tseng on a Roll at Women's British Open
Yani Tseng carded her second straight 4-under 69 to take a four-stroke lead after two rounds of the Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale, which playing as a par 73. The 21-year-old from Taiwan stands at 8-under 138.
Her next closest pursuers are two Americans, Cristie Kerr (68) and Brittany Lincicome (72), and South Korean Amy Yang (72), at 4-under 142. Kerr opened with a 74, but rallied on Friday to get back into the hunt.
"I played another solid round for me," said Tseng, who's seeking her second major title. "I make lots of putts today. And it was really lucky. It is raining right now, and this morning there was like no wind, very calm. And the course is totally different than what we played yesterday. So it was just really nice." (See below for Tseng's full post-round interview.)
Kerr was pleased with how she responded in the second round. "I played obviously really well today," commented the 2010 LPGA Championship winner. "I was determined to be more relaxed out there. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself just getting the No. 1 ranking, and you know, hadn't really realized what was going on until, you know, a couple rounds ago. So just getting out there, and I did my thing today. And you know, the results took care of themselves.
"I got off to a hot start birdieing the first two holes, and then bogeyed 8 and birdied four of the holes on the back. Played really, really well. Great par save at 12, and was able to birdie one of the last two par-5s . . . could have made eagle on the last hole, but I left -- when you're shooting 5-under and you're leaving some out there, you're playing really well."
Tied for fifth at 3-under 143 are 50-year-old Juli Inkster (71), Norway's Suzann Pettersen (69) and Sun Young Yoo (73).
Other notable scores were a 77 by Michelle Wie, and a 75 by Paula Creamer, who reinjured her left wrist after hitting out of the gorse.
After signing her scorecard, Tseng sat down with reporters and discussed her position in the championship.
MODERATOR: We have Yani Tseng who shot her second consecutive 68 for two rounds 4-under par, currently leading by four shots. Well done, Yani. Your thoughts on the round.
YANI TSENG: Thank you. I played another solid round for me. I make lots of putts today. And it was really lucky. It is raining right now, and this morning there was like no wind, very calm. And the course is totally different than what we played yesterday. So it was just really nice.
MODERATOR: You obviously came in here in great form to continue it. Are you feeling very confident going into the weekend?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I feel really confident, and actually I never had a lead in a major, so this week I have to stay on top all week and stay very patient this week. And I feel super. I feel confident. Just keep loving the Links course.
MODERATOR: You hit 18 greens in regulation yesterday. How many did you manage to hit today?
YANI TSENG: I don't know. Today was not many.
MODERATOR: Not many. Okay. Questions, please, ladies and gentlemen.
Q. Can you just say what you were thinking on the 15th hole when you hit those two balls, tell us all your thoughts at the time?
YANI TSENG: I know. I feel like I want to kill myself after hitting that shot because me and my caddy were thinking hitting rescue or 3-wood on first time. And I said I'm not comfortable with my rescue, and I hit a 3-wood. And I did the same shot as yesterday. Actually the ball stayed in the same position as yesterday. So on 15 it was like comfortable for me, and it was really -- I felt really nervous before that tee shot because I was thinking a lot on my mind. This was a good shot. Both just missed it. So it was really great for me for both days. So I'm very appreciative.
Q. Did you think you lost both balls?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. Second one I hit a provisional ball. It was like even 30 yards right of my ball.
Q. I was just going to ask you if you could tell us what Annika Sorenstam told you about your mental game. Can you tell us some specific lessons she told you at the start of the year?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I talked to her before I -- right before this season start, and she said she would teach me a lot, and like first question I asked her how can I be No. 1 in the world. And she's telling me what should I do right now, step by step. I always looking at the result. And practice is more important for me. And she know I'm really aggressive player, so she really want me to play really smart, not just see the pin and always go there. So she told me I need to trust myself. If I stay patient, I will be on top one day.
Q. Can you tell us a bit about your early background in golf, what age, when you first discovered the game and how you got interested?
YANI TSENG: Oh, I started golf when I was five and my parents both played golf, and actually my dad was a club champion in a golf club of like 5,000 members. My dad used to be scratch, but not anymore. And then I start playing golf when I was in Taiwan. And then after I finish high school, I turned pro. I went to Q-School and here.
Q. And I think there's five Taiwanese in the top hundred. Why do you think -- it's not quite Korea, but it's really good. Why do you think it's so popular?
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I think -- I think in Korea, when I was junior I went to Korea to play in a junior amateur tournament. It was like thousands of players playing over there. In Taiwan we don't have that many people playing golf. But I really wish one day it will be more popular and then I will help all the juniors to start playing golf.
Q. If there are 5,000 members at your golf club, it must be a very popular game already.
YANI TSENG: It's not. It's like not many kids to play. It's older people and that kind of stuff.
MODERATOR: Could we go through your birdies and bogeys, please, Yani? You birdied the second hole.
YANI TSENG: 8-iron, and I hit it to 15 feet. And No. 6, hit a 3-wood, second shot, 20 yards for eagle, and I missed it by two feet.
YANI TSENG: Yeah. 6-iron, hit to eight feet and birdied.
YANI TSENG: Pitching wedge, hit to 10 yards, like 30 feet.
YANI TSENG: 17, I hit a 4-iron for my second shot. Had 12 yards and I missed it two feet.
MODERATOR: And your only dropped shot was at the start.
YANI TSENG: Yeah. I hit to the bunker on the left. I hit a great shot, just had a bad bounce, and then I chip it out. I hit a 62. That was a terrible shot. I two-putted.
MODERATOR: And the par from 15. Were there any other saves today?
YANI TSENG: Actually on 15, that shot, I feel like I still can make birdie from there. So it was really close. But not really. It probably turn out totally different for me.
Q. What puts girls off from playing golf in Taiwan?
YANI TSENG: I don't know. I wish they would look at me or there would be someone else on top to make them play golf, because when I was young, I watch Annika playing. So I tell myself one day I want to play with Annika. I want to play with her on Tour. So that's how I get in here. But I really don't know. I really wish I would be like Se Ri Pak. Like one day they will be like watching me and they get into golf.
Q. And at the moment do they see it more as a game for boys or are they not welcoming to juniors in the club?
YANI TSENG: No. I think now it's probably more girls playing golf right now. The men's are really challenged, and they saw we have five girls on the LPGA, and they kind of feel like all the girls have more chance than the men.
Q. Do you think if you won this tournament and went to No. 1 in the world, it would be more popular?
YANI TSENG: I think so.
Q. You've bought a nice car in the past as a prize for winning tournaments and stuff. If you become No. 1 in the world, do you have any idea how you would celebrate?
YANI TSENG: I still don't think that much, but I still look forward to see all my trophy cases is the most important thing for me. That trophy case looks so empty for me. So I really don't like that feeling. So I would think after I win, let's see what can I buy myself.
MODERATOR: Any more questions? Yani, thank you very much. Good luck on the weekend.
YANI TSENG: Thank you. Thanks.

So, we've been planning. For hours. Days. Weeks, actually. It seems ridiculous. We can't remember it ever being this hard to figure out our route before. After FIFTY-FOUR countries, you'd think we'd have this down...but apparently not. For some reason, Austria and Slovakia are giving us a run for our money.
Maybe it's just that we are coming at them with fewer pre-conceived notions of what we want to do? Or maybe it's just that now we're trying to balance what we want with what we can reasonably expect a 3 and 1-year-old to put up with? But we've traveled with our kids before and never had this much trouble, so it doesn't seem like we can blame it on them.
Our route has changed so many times we've lost count. We've planned, re-planned and rearranged. We thought we finally had it all figured out. I was putting the finishing touches on our calendar, and asked Ian what time our flight home was. That's when we realized that our flight was a day LATER than we'd planned for. Much better than a day earlier, but still. REALLY? This is not the first time we've traveled, people! {Sigh}
So, for what it's worth, this is our current thought. We think. Maybe. We would be very, very grateful for any input. Really. Seriously. Especially if you could make sure we counted days right...
View Larger Map
Day 1 - Fly to Munich.
Day 2 - Arrive Munich. Stumble onto subway and attempt to feed our children before we collapse at our hotel.
Day 3 - Attempt to explore Munich.
Day 4 - Ditto
Day 5 - Pick up rental car and drive to Salzburg. Explore some of the sights.
Day 6 - Continue to explore Salzburg.
Day 7 - Drive to Krems via Melk and it's Abbey.
Day 8 - Take the bus/train to Melk and return to Krems by boat down the Danube. Attempt not to lose any children overboard.
Day 9 - Spend the day wine tasting in the Wachau Valley, ending the day in Vienna
Day 10 - Spend the day exploring Vienna, trying not to be bitter our son's not old enough to see the horses yet.
Day 11 - More of Vienna
Day 12 - Vienna
Day 13 - Drive to Bojnice, Slovakia and see the castle.
Day 14 - Drive to Bardejov and see its square and at least one wooden church along the way.
Day 15 - Drive to somewhere in the Spis area. Levoca?
Day 16 - Stay in the area, see the castle.
Day 17 - Drive to Bratislava
Day 18 - Explore Bratislava
Day 19 - Drive to Hallstatt
Day 20 - Explore Hallstatt
Day 21 - Drive to Berchtesgaden (boat on the Konigsee)
Day 22 - Drive the Grossglockner Strasse from Bruck to Heilingenblut (there are playgrounds along the way - YAY!)
Day 23 - Drive to Innsbruck and explore what we can.
Day 24 - Drive to Liechtenstein.
Day 25 - Explore Liechtenstein and drive to Fussen.
Day 26 - See Neuschwanstein Castle and return to Munich.
Day 27 - Fly home. {Sob}
So? What do you think? Are we crazy? Is this do-able? What have we missed? What should we change? Is there a better way to do this route? We are open to any and all suggestions including hotels and restaurants. The only thing we're sure we don't want to do is the Sound of Music tour. 😉 Any other recommendations would be warmly welcomed!

The S.C. Supreme Court has overturned almost $11 million in verdicts levied against Charleston lawyer Paul Hulsey and ordered the civil cases sent back to circuit court.
Hulsey was sued several years ago for defamation by Charleston businessmen Lawton Limehouse and Lawton Limehouse Jr.
They operated L&L Services, a staffing agency that rented several homes in North Charleston — homes that were raided by the city and fined for overcrowding and inadequate heating and plumbing.
Shortly after the raids, Hulsey filed a lawsuit against L&L services on behalf of six of its former employees. In April 2004, Hulsey told The Post and Courier that L&L "created a perfect racketeering enterprise, just like (fictional HBO mobster) Tony Soprano" and that the business set "the community back 150 years."
The lawsuit accused the staffing company of racketeering by making fake federal documents, cheating workers out of overtime pay and housing them in rundown properties.
The U.S. attorney looked into the matter but did not bring charges. The lawsuit was never certified as a class action and was settled for $20,000, according to the S.C. Supreme Court ruling.
Meanwhile, the Limehouses sued Hulsey for defamation. When their cases were moved from federal court to state court, a circuit judge found Hulsey in default for missing a deadline to respond.
Hulsey never had a chance to defend himself, and separate trials were held only to establish damages. Hulsey was hit with a $7.4 million judgment for the father and with a $3.6 million judgment for the son. In 2011, the S.C. Court of Appeals upheld those verdicts.
The S.C. Supreme Court's recent ruling set aside those awards and ordered the case back to circuit court.
Robert Hood, an attorney for Hulsey, said he and Hulsey were pleased with the result.
"We look forward to finally telling our side of the story, which was never heard before," Hood said. "We welcome the opportunity to defend this case fully on the merits."
Frank Cisa, the Limehouses' attorney, said he was disappointed on behalf of his clients.
Cisa said he is not sure if the case will start from scratch or will resume at the stage of establishing damages. "It depends on how you read the Supreme Court's order," he said. "It just depends on how the circuit court looks at it."
The Supreme Court order said the lower court erred by finding Hulsey in default. It cited different federal precedents and said while it usually follows precedents set by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that is not mandatory.
"Admittedly, this conclusion appears to elevate form over substance and, in turn, may be viewed as harsh considering the significant verdicts," said the Supreme Court ruling. All four judges who heard the case concurred with the result.

Sacha Baron Cohen, who has been promoting his hit comedy Borat!: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan exclusively in the guise of the dunder-headed Kazakh journalist of the movie's title, is finally speaking up – as himself.
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, the 35-year-old British writer-actor defends his controversial film, saying, "I think part of the movie shows the absurdity of holding any form of racial prejudice, whether it's hatred of African-Americans or of Jews."
"Borat essentially works as a tool," says Baron Cohen. "By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice, whether it's anti-Semitism or an acceptance of anti-Semitism."
In fact, Baron Cohen, a devout Jew who keeps kosher, says his parents "love" the Jewish humor in Borat. And his 91-year-old maternal grandmother even went to a midnight screening in Israel, then called him at 4 a.m. to compliment her grandson and to discuss the movie.
So what led the Cambridge-educated funnyman to mine this particular brand of humor? Baron Cohen says studying a major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw, whose quote, "The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference" got him thinking.
"I know it's not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust, but I think it's an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite. They just had to be apathetic."
Baron Cohen also addresses the outcry from the Kazakh government, which claims the movie defames Kazakhstan. "I've been in a bizarre situation, where a country has declared me as its number-one enemy," he says. "It's inherently a comic situation."
And as for the allegation that he, or Borat, or possibly both, take sadistic delight in making fools out of those encountered onscreen – two South Carolina frat boys are currently suing 20th Century Fox, among others, amid claims they were duped into appearing in Borat – Baron Cohen admits he could never do that to others if he were not playing a role.
"I think I'd find it hard to," he says. "I think you can hide behind the characters and do things that you yourself find difficult."

FaceTime 1.0.4 Update for Snow Leopard
News of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard's death were greatly exaggerated and here's another bit of proof. Apple has released FaceTime 1.0.4, which addresses a bug in the version of the app that only runs on Snow Leopard.
A month or so ago, a pundit caused a dust up by claiming that Apple had abandoned and would no longer offer operating system or app updates for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Well, that's obviously not true.
FaceTime 1.0.4 ($0.99, MAS)
— This update resolves connection issues in FaceTime and is recommended for all users of FaceTime on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Similarly, Apple and its printer partners have also kept pumping out updated printer drivers — Fresh Xerox Printer Drivers for Mac, Fresh Xerox, Epson Mac Printer Drivers— for Macs running OS X 10.6.
While its history is certainly longer than its future, I suspect Apple will continue supporting Snow Leopard at least through the fifth anniversary of its first release (August 28, 2009)…
What's your take?

Editors note: This is the second in a series of stories about businesses to be inducted into the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Business Hall of Fame Oct. 15 at the Blair County Convention Center.
The name may keep changing, but the company still keeps churning out high-quality products.
Alpha Altoona is a world leader in the development, manufacture and sales of innovative materials used in the electronic assembly markets, said Dan Weaver, director of manufacturing and support.

Bob Shaner of Altoona creates 5-pound spools of solder at Alpha Altoona, 4100 Sixth Ave. Alpha is one of five businesses that will be inducted into the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Business Hall of Fame on Oct. 15 at the Blair County Convention Center.
Alpha is one of five businesses that will be inducted into the Blair County Chamber of Commerce Business Hall of Fame Oct. 15 at the Blair County Convention Center.
"I think it is a great honor," Weaver said. "It is an honor because it honors the individuals who work here that make up the company.
"It is about the employees - without the employees you don't have a company."
Alpha is part of the Performance Materials Division of Cookson Group plc, a 300-year-old company headquartered in England.
Undergoing several name changes and often referred to as Fry Metals and Cookson Electronics, the Alpha Altoona facility became part of the Cookson Group in October 1979, when Cookson purchased the site from National Lead Industries.
"We produce solder products for use in a wide variety of markets in the world," Weaver said.
Products range from printed circuit board fabrication for the electronics industry, solar cells for the photovoltaic industry, radiators for the heat exchange industry, lighting, bearings, fuses and plumbing and heating products.
The more than 200,000-square-foot facility at 4100 Sixth Ave. is more than 100 years old and was once home to the South Altoona Foundry for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Today, the facility is home to about 130 employees who produce and deliver solder products to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, Brazil and several overseas locations.
More than 380 different finished products are produced at the plant, and 6 million to 7 million pounds of products are shipped per year.
"Our products can be found in a wide array of places in your car and in your home," Weaver said. "You will find us in your home in your television, computer, cellphone and appliances. Our products are found in the automotive industry in starters, batteries, radiators [and] gas tanks."
Alpha Altoona is also home to a reclamation facility, where scrap metal and oxides are recycled into reusable products.
"It is like a cradle-to-grave process," said spokeswoman Kris Young. "We take products from our customers and recycle them into new products."
Alpha Altoona is also home to new PV ribbon equipment - a $1.5 million investment -which was installed early this year to provide PV ribbon to the photovoltaic industry in the manufacture of solar panels, Weaver said.
A chemical blending and packaging operation was installed for its Fernox product line, which provides water treatment solutions to improve the efficiency of heating units and boilers, Weaver said.
"The reclamation facility was a major expansion," Weaver said. "We continue to look for innovations. We look at diversification and new market areas."
He said the employees are the key to the company's success.
"If I didn't have the people and support, we would not be successful. It takes people to make things happen. And we have the people; we have a lot of good people here," Weaver said. "We have great support from our management. They give us the freedom to explore opportunities. I couldn't ask for anything more. If we see the need, they come through for us."
Hall of Fame Committee Chairwoman Lisa Michelone of Reliance Bank agrees that Alpha has a good group of employees.
"They are so dedicated, loyal and proud of their organization. From the time you enter their facility and are greeted, through the entire facility, the employees show off their pride and enthusiasm for working at such a great company," Michelone said.
Alpha continuously provides its employees - the average tenure is 22 years - with training.
Weaver said the top focus is safety, so a lot of training programs deal with that.
When not working, Alpha employees pay back to the community through community service. Weaver said the company has participated in Relay For Life for eight years.
"We won the Team Spirit Award the last two years, and this year raised $11,000 for Relay For Life," he said.
Looking to the future, Weaver said he sees good things on the horizon.
"We have a company willing to invest in this site and expand it. There will be some better things coming in the future to expand it further. Great things will continue to happen at the Altoona site," Weaver said.
Mirror Staff Writer Walt Frank is at 946-7467.

I was walking across farmland when i saw this small bird in the distance. I thought it was a reed bunting but the beak is different, what you do think?
this is the second picture, as you can see it doesn't leave much to go off. The bird was too far away for me to see any markings or colour with the naked eye, so i've only got these two pictures to go off.
It's an invisibird :( Can you try again with the photo?
lol, picture failed, but hopefully it is on view now:)
Yes, can see it now. But I can't ID it - that bill looks way too big not just for Reed Bunting but for everything else that comes to mind. Any more photos? Sorry not to be more helpful...
Could it be a Reed Bunting with an overgrown beak?
It looks like it has the body markings of a Reed Bunting with the beak of a Bee eater. Difficult one. I wonder what it is.
Looking at the beak I was thinking toward Bee-eater or even Kingfisher - but then the body suggests something completely different - I was even thinking toward Stonechat with the white on the collar. Lets hope soemone comes up with an answer - it would be a shame for this to go unidentified.
Andy C
Starling, that collar is just the light to me, it would be obvious in both IMO
Yeah, I considered Starling but thought the bill looked too big even for that and also the back looked streaked, but I suspect it's just the tilt of the head that gives the oversized bill impression, and the streaking is a trick of the light. Second pic shows the Starling pattern more clearly.
When i saw the bird in the distance it apeared to be about the size of a robin, but it is very hard to be sure of size when it was far away. I have seen starlings perched on the same wire before, and since michael mentioned starling i've looked at the second picture in a new light and relise it is more than likely to be a starling. It is crazy how the camera can trick you and change the look of object colour ect. Im disapointed its only a starling, i was getting excited with the mention of bee eater. Thank you everyone with there input helping clear this one up. P.S back in january i took a picture of a blackbird with the same camera and it apeared to be a blue bird lol

Beautiful art piece at a great price. And very easy to assemble and hang.
I saw this online and thought it would be perfect on the brick on our front porch. It serves the purpose very well and is attractive. It was easy assembly, tho I expected none, and not quite a colorful as in the picture, but I knew that from another reviewer. The metal is slightly flimsy but we are actually very pleased.
This is the 2nd one we're buying! The bad news is that we hung this at the beach, where eventually, it rusted out. The good news is it's simply beautiful, stunning, unique, and makes a tremendous statement. A truly terrific accent. For this one, I plan to apply protective enamel to it from day 1, and take it down from each Labor Day to Memorial Day.
What a great piece. Colors Re bright as shown ion online description. Very pleased
We bought it to place on a large,plain brick chimney on the front of the house. The size and design make a real statement. The colors stand out from the brick. It is light enough to mount easily but has withstood heavy wind gusts.
Looks Fantastic!
This was even more beautiful in real life than it was in the catalog. It is beautiful, and add's a lot of interest to my wall. It was a great buy.
beautiful but a little larger than I expected
The colors on the actual item I received are very dull unlike in the photograph which are bright and rich. I was disappointed so I gave it away to someone who does not mind the subdued colors.
it's a beautiful piece but was too large for the space I intended to use it. had to return it.
LOVE the metal SUN wall hanging. Pictures on the website represent the colors perfectly. Easy assembly too!
Hanging outside with the morning sun magnifying it's beauty. Very nice piece of art! Packaging was well protected with minimum assembly.
This is truly an amazing piece of art! Added with other southwestern decor or even by itself will make you feel as if you are away from home! Minor assembly was easy and packaging to my door excellent.


text: You were onto something as a kid: It turns out beans are good for your heart. In addition to being packed with LDL cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, beans are high in magnesium and potassium which help regulate blood pressure. Eating four or more servings of beans and other legumes a week helped lower the risk of heart disease by 22% according to a large survey. If you're worried about embarrassing gas, rinse beans after soaking or pop some Beano before or while eating.

Blog>Classe Delta Series Amplifiers
Dave Kay 04:55 AM 10-12-2010
Classe Audio has released a new range of four high-end Delta series amplifers. The four new models are the 300 watt CA-M300 and 600 watt CA-M600 monoblocks, the stereo CA-2300, and the multichannel CA-5300, which provide 2x300 and 5x300 watts. All of the new Delta series amps feature a new miniaturized driver-stage circuit with shorter signal paths, and a new active thermal management system called "ICTunnel".
The ICTunnel system allows the amplifier to warm up to optimal operating temperature within 15 minutes, and then holds that temperature regardless of output levels for the best performance possible. A new power supply design also allows for standby power usage of just 0.5W. Prices for the new Delta Series are $5,500 for the CA-M300, $7,000 for the CA-M600 and CA-2300, and $9,500 for the CA-5300.

Arkadi Kuhlmann
Founder & CEO, Zenbanx, Inc., and Founder, ING Direct
Arkadi Kuhlmann? Email us Give Us a Call
Arkadi Kuhlmann's vocation and avocation have been to reinvent and revitalize consumers' relationship with their money.
Arkadi introduced the world to direct banking with a simplified customer focus when he founded ING DIRECT Canada in 1996, creating the brand strategy and growing the bank during 1996-2000 to a successful market position while serving as the bank's President and CEO. He repeated this process in 2000, founding ING DIRECT USA and as the bank's Chairman, President and CEO led its growth to become the nation's largest savings bank and number one direct bank, with more than $84 billion in deposits and 7.8 million customers. Arkadi's customer focus led to fanatical loyalty and industry-leading customer promotion scores and branded him affectionately as the 'CEO of Savings.'
Prior to ING DIRECT, Arkadi engineered an organizational and systems restructuring as the President of North American Trust. The execution of Arkadi's tactical business plan along with new product development resulted in a transformation from a $10M operating loss to a $17M operating profit.
As President and CEO at Deak & Co. and Deak International (1985-1993), Arkadi restructured Deak International's operations, launching a revitalized company in April 1986, and expanding the company from 52 to 192 branches and 350 to 1,500 employees worldwide, achieving revenues of $1B wholesale and $2.5B retail, and income of $70M. Arkadi oversaw the successful divestiture of Deak International in 1990.
From 1977-1984, Arkadi served as Vice President, General Manager and Manager of Royal Bank of Canada. Before that, he served briefly as a consultant for the banking industry and as an Assistant Director of the Institute of Canadian Bankers.
In addition to his corporate successes, Arkadi demonstrated his passion for teaching as a professor of International Finance and Investment Banking at the American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird) in Phoenix, Arizona. He shared his philosophy on leadership, culture and innovation by penning Rock then Roll: The Secrets of Culture-Driven Leadership and The Orange Code: How ING DIRECT Succeeded by Being a Rebel with a Cause, as well as several books on finance and numerous business cases. His thoughts on banking, leadership and innovation have appeared in major newspapers including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and New York Times.
Arkadi received the Honors in Business Administration degree and an M.B.A. from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, Canada and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws (LL.D.) in 2010 and the Ivey Distinguished Service Award in 2007.
Arkadi was honored as American Banker's 2006 Innovator of the Year and was the recipient of the ING Business Award (Revenue Growth Category) in 2005, Delaware Business Leader Award in 2006 and 2008, Habitat for Humanity Leadership Award in 2007, and was honored with the Council for Economic Education's Visionary Award in 2010 for his life-long advocacy in teaching adults and children about responsible money behavior.
The Orange Code
Following the immense success of ING Direct with his book The Orange Code: How ING Direct Succeeded by Being a Rebel with a Cause, Arkadi Kuhlmann is one of the world's leading experts on corporate culture as branding. ING Direct's message is clear: "save your money". They reflect this mantra in everything they do. If you build your company to stand for a purpose, customers will notice -- and they'll remain loyal. From advertisements, to product lines to turning away customers who do not fit their vision, ING Direct is a proven example of brand strength. Kuhlmann, with frank honesty and unrivaled experience, explains that a business can be so much more than just a provider of services. It can be an idea, a cause -- and a force.
Rock Then Roll: The Secrets of Culture-Driven Leadership
In this talk, Arkadi Kuhlmann provides a roadmap to the new culture-driven business world. The traditional model of top-down corporate leadership is obsolete. In an interconnected and ever-changing marketplace, business creativity is now the driving force behind bottom-line success. Only by creating a unique business culture, says Kuhlmann, can you spur innovation and inspire leadership in everyone from C-level to entry level. How can you exploit the power of disruptive ideas? What are the true catalysts for creating leaders from within? How can you create--and most importantly, maintain--a unique business culture that attracts both customers and talent alike? Drawing from his experiences at ING Direct, Kuhlmann's message can help business people of all experience levels--from CEO's to start-up entrepreneurs--create their own culture to drive leadership, increase employee satisfaction and achieve business success.
Rock then Roll: The Secrets of Culture-Driven Leadership
It's a new jungle out there. Are you prepared to rock your business? Or will you be rolled? The world has changed. Leadership is not top-down. Not anymore. Today we live in a seamlessly integrated world where technology, business, entertainment and life overlap and merge. Positives can go negative in an instant; making the right decisions means creating and sustaining the right culture. The new reality in this culture-driven environment? We all need to be leaders.
Rock then Roll: The Secrets of Culture-Driven Leadership is a roadmap to this new culture-driven world from one of North America s most respected CEOs. Culture-based leadership is essential to adopt innovative business strategies and exploit the creative power of disruptive ideas. Rock then roll! So in the new jungle, will you be Tarzan? Or will you get out of his way?
The Orange Code: How ING Direct Succeeded by Being a Rebel with a Cause
How championing consumers led to ING Direct's revolutionary rise in the banking industry In an industry dominated by big banks with little patience for their customers, ING Direct has always strived to be different-a rebel with a cause, if you will-and in doing so, they've become the most successful online banking venture in history. The Orange Code recounts ING Direct's intriguing story, explaining the philosophy of its founder Arkadi Kuhlmann-who believes in the power of individuals to control their financial destiny-and his long-running partnership with Bruce Philp, the branding consultant who helped him make ING Direct a cause to its own people and a household name across North America. The level of success achieved by ING Direct holds some important lessons and offers some much-needed inspiration to a business world that could use a little of both right now.

We chose this back-to-back cruise the the itinerary .... Iceland and then the north cape and Spitsbergen. We were not expecting luxury but we could find virtually nothing to recommend this line. The ship is tired and needs a major refurb or scrap. The showers don't work properly throughout the ship ... The water is either scalding hot or freezing cold. The buffet consistently runs out of food, plates, and/or cups. The food is mediocre and I've never sailed on a ship where you have to constantly ask for water at the table and the after dinner coffee/tea is never refilled.
If you don't want to do organised tours at every stop, forget it. You'll find the ship pulling into stops for only 3-4 hours at times where there is no time for the independent traveller to see anything. This ship is completely geared to tours with no info for indies. If the ship is tendered, the indies are the very last to be allowed ashore.
Overall, the crew rarely smiles. Of course, you'll find exceptions but you do feel as though you are putting them out.
On the plus side, we found the entire staff at the reception desk to be as good and efficient as any we have ever run into....also very friendly.
While I have no problem boarding by deck, with the suites boarding first, the same thing happens on disembarkation without regard to when you have to leave to catch a plane. IF you need to disembark early and are on one of the lower decks, you must notify them BUT you must struggle off with all your luggage by yourself!
We also noted that there were, not surprisingly, a fair number of passengers with mobility issues. The crew/staff virtually never offered help and the gangway was really difficult for them. We have seen much more care in other cruise lines
The port is an easy bus ride to the Center of edinburgh. There is a huge amount of stuff do do in this wonderful city
Really enjoyed walking around but be warned that the port charges about Â(EURO)10 return on the shuttle bus to the city! We've never stuck this before

Rio Conventions Pavilion Convenes for Sustainable Land Management Day
26 September 2013: On its last day, the Rio Conventions Pavilion convened for Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Day . The Rio Conventions Pavilion is meeting in conjunction with the Eleventh Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 11) to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), taking place from 16-27 September 2013, in Windhoek, Namibia.
SLM Day included sessions on: implementing, documenting and sharing proven SLM approaches and practices - closing the loop between field and policy; SLM strategic investment frameworks - country experiences and success stories; UN Information Portal on Multilateral Environmental Agreements (InforMEA) knowledge management for implementation of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs); and the importance of accurate soil data - isotope studies supporting evidence for combating desertification. The day ended with a reception.
During the session on implementing, documenting and sharing proven SLM approaches, participants viewed two videos to demonstrate climate-smart agricultural practices in Tajikistan. A speaker from Iran discussed experiences in evolutionary plant breeding, which uses high genetic diversity in crops to increase resilience to climate variability.
During the session on SLM strategic investment frameworks, a representative from the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) provided panel an overview of the SLM Strategic Investment Framework. Participants also heard presentations on country experiences from Niger, Ghana and Ethiopia in the implementation of the framework.
The final session on accurate soil data explored how nuclear science is contributing to evidence-based soil and water conservation. A speaker from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) described the Agency's technical cooperation (TC) programme and the Practical Agreement with the UNCCD, signed in April 2013.

The day before Labor Day I rode my cross bike over Mulholland from Sepulveda to Topanga, then up over the hill and down to the beach. This is the first part of the Topanga Canyon downhill. It's a long gradual downhill with only a couple of fairly fast parts, and it takes a while to get from the top of the hill to PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), especially at my age (I'm 52). So I cut out the middle part of riding through the town of Topanga and then cut the remainder in half to make two 10-minute clips. This is the first one I put my own music to, I just watched the video and played along, and this was the 2nd or 3rd take. My apologies to all Australians for butchering the snippet of "Waltzing Matilda" right at the end. There's a part 2 I'll upload after this. Cheers.

Me and my boyfriend decided we want a cat since both of us had cats at some point in our lives. We went to the ASPCA and looked a few cats, but we didn`t really have any connection with any of them. Right when we were about to go to another room, an attendant brought Rudolph in his cage. They were prepparing him for the mobile vans the ASPCA has for addoptions. We knew we wanted him to be our furry companion as soon as we saw him! <3

FVS-EMAP is a simple tool for moving simulation results from the USDA Forest Service's Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) into the ArcView® Geographic Information System. FVS projections of a group of stands can provide many output variables projected into several future time periods. With FVS-EMAP, users can create maps by applying stand output variables for future time periods, or for one or more simulation scenarios.
Input to FVS-EMAP is generated by the FVS Event Monitor (EM), using COMPUTE keywords. All variables calculated via the COMPUTE keyword can be mapped using this process. A shapefile representing the stand boundaries is required as a "template" onto which FVS-EMAP will map EM output variables.
FHTET has produced EM addfiles that calculate insect risk ratings. Output from these addfiles may be used as input into FVS-EMAP.
