Thursday, March 21 | Submitted by Wannenmacher Advertising | Downtown Central
An April Fool's Day Surprise
April Fool's Day, 1988, Paul and Kathy Wannenmacher bought the 209 East Walnut building in historic downtown Springfield. After a brief renovation period, the building has been home to Wannenmacher Advertising Company for the past 25 years.
"My business opened in November, 1985 in the upstairs of 209 East Walnut," stated Paul Wannenmacher. The Springfield Business Journal and I shared the 209 building. Until I moved in 1988." 209 East Walnut is now home to The Rebecca Grille.
"Many people questioned my judgment on purchasing a downtown property in 1988. But, my objectives were clear. I wanted low overhead for my business and to be close to the Downtown Family Y. The growth in downtown Springfield turned out to be an added surprise," stated Wannenmacher.

This book reflects the multidimensional character of chemical biology, focusing on the fundamental science of biological structures and systems.
This is the first major reference at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine. Chemical biology is a rapidly developing field that uses the principles, tools, and language of chemistry to answer important questions in the life sciences. It has enabled researchers to gather critical information about the molecular biology of the cell and is the fundamental science of drug discovery, playing a key role in the development of novel agents for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. Now students and researchers across the range of disciplines that use chemical biology techniques have a single resource that encapsulates what is known in the field. It is an excellent place to begin any chemical biology investigation.

A concise analysis of the relationship between patent rights and human rights is given in this book, focusing on the right to food. The UN Sub-Commission on Human Rights identified 'apparent conflicts' or 'actual or potential conflicts' between human rights and intellectual property rights. The TRIPS Agreement under the WTO Agreement and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights constitute the central treaties in the analysis. Moreover, the book does not find that the two treaties actually conflict. There are, however, concerns regarding the national implementation of the treaties.
The book finds that the right to food and related human rights of the Covenant give important guidance when implementing intellectual property legislation and science policy in general. This title is needed by International Nutrition students and will serve programs in public policy.
This encyclopedia contains signed articles with bibliographies written by an international group of distinguished academics, research scientists, and food-industry professionals. The alphabetical entries cover the scientific, political, and social aspects of nutrition. Among the subjects included are individual nutrients and foods, anatomy and physiology, nutritional therapy for diseases and conditions, and subjects such as nutritional management of refugees, nutrition education, religious customs, and folklore. Appendixes with charts of weights and measures, nutritional allowances, and nutritional content of foods appear in each volume. In-depth coverage of the scientific, political, and social aspects of nutrition set this work apart from other reference sources in the field.
This outstanding reference source is needed to update the collection. We have the 2005 edition.
This work presents a vision of health care for the future that honors the whole person--mind, body, and spirit. The three volumes present the expertise of over 80 contributors and editors. With healthcare services becoming more specialized, fractured, and costly, consumers are demanding more integrative, effective treatments that address the physical, spiritual, and psychological aspects of illness and health. This "whole person" approach to healthcare is increasingly being offered by healthcare professionals and in facilities nationwide. In this unique set of books, experts from across the country, at the forefront in their fields, explain how, how extensively, and why healthcare is changing to incorporate complementary practices, from yoga, meditation and QiGong, to art, music, and dance therapy. Breaking research on this growing field is featured, as are observations by healthcare professionals who say the new approaches are not only helping patients heal, but also helping professionals rediscover their ancient roles as healers of body, mind, and spirit. Examples of training templates, funded programs, and treatment protocols are included. Each of the focused, practical chapters offers a Tool Kit for Change, summarizing major treatment points from a particular perspective. Prevention and lifestyle are addressed, as are cures.
Although other works on holistic health are available, none provides the comprehensive scope of this set. Extensively researched and referenced, it includes helpful figures, tables, and graphs. Highly recommended by CHOICE.
The Encyclopedia of Stress covers nearly every conceivable aspect and ramification of stress including a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular system, immunity and inflammation, and physical illnesses. Over the last decade, scientists have presented convincing research showing that psychological stress increases vulnerability to disease. They now understand more clearly that stress may be the thread tying together illnesses that were previously believed to be unrelated. Bone loss, increased abdominal fat, and damaged memory cells in the hippocampus have been linked to elevated cortisol levels.
This completely revised edition surveys the vast amount of research generated in the past five years, resulting in a substantial revision with over 30% new material and over 100 new entries. Expanded sections include Animal Studies, Anxiety and Depression, Drugs, Depression, Disasters, and Psychological and Other Therapies. CHOICE Recommended title. Nursing faculty have requested access for the latest edition online.
This volume compiles all the latest research findings along with the most innovative clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines into one cohesive, comprehensive resource for physicians.
It delivers the most up-to-date data on therapeutic strategies, prognostic and predictive factors, and prevention strategies - including the beneficial role of physical activity in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. The volume also examines the biological, genetic, and molecular pathways linked to the development and progression of breast cancer-including new information on the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis.

Poolworaluk denies firm faces financial difficulties
BANGKOK — Thailand's two largest cinema chains Major Cineplex Group and EGV Entertainment are merging.
The new entity will dominate the market with 250 screens and a 70% share.
Thailand's B.0. is expected to grow by 10%-15% this year, to around $109 million.
Major CEO Vicha Poolvaraluck said the merger would help two firms pool their strengths for future expansion and cut operating costs.
Wichai Poolworaluk (Vicha's cousin) who is EGV's CEO and president, denied his firm faced financial difficulties although it has debts of about $30 million.
Wichai will still head up his company and said there are no plans for layoffs.
The merger sparked fear among moviegoers of a rise in ticket prices, but that was denied. Under the deal, Major Cineplex will issue 120 million new shares in order to buy EGV's 260 million shares. Each new share will be swapped for 2.27 EGV shares and 11.44 units of EGV warrants.
It will result in the delisting of EGV but its cinemas will continue to operate under the EGV banner.
Major Cineplex intends to open 100 new screens, including 60 in Bangkok.
It's in talks with an investor in Ho Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to buy two plots of land on which to build multiplexes.

Henry VIII may have married six times, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers – who plays the infamous king on The Tudors – isn't playing catch-up just yet.
Although he's been wearing a mysterious band on his left ring finder, the Showtime star said he's not married.
"It's from my girlfriend [Reena Hammer]," he told PEOPLE at the Sheraton New York Wednesday for the premiere of the show's second season. "It's an eternity ring. It's got a little message to me, a secret message."
When pressed on the significance of the band, the 30-year-old actor would only say, "It's just something that two people in a relationship give to each other."
Besides, Rhys Meyers added, "Everybody keeps asking me if I'm married ... It's nice to keep them guessing!"

President Xi Jinping's 'China Dream'
A new type of leader seem to be starting to emerge in China and India. President Xi Jinping in China, and premier Narendra Modi in India, are not spending much time studying the output of focus groups or investment bank analysts. Nor do they have 'spin-doctors' worrying about every phrase on the 24-hour news channels. Instead, they […]

Sea Hunt – the television series that aired in the late 1950s starring Lloyd Bridges as a freelance diver – was the inspiration that propelled a young kid toward scuba diving.
About 27 years ago, Russell Fitton lived his childhood dream doing his first scuba dive to see a sunken ship at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Barbados.
"It was amazing how big a ship is under water," said Dr. Fitton, a 1981 graduate of the Loyola University School of Dentistry.
Since then he's been hooked on his hobby, taking many more trips to places like Tahiti, Costa Rica, Belize and Hawaii to dive.
For Dr. Fitton, scuba diving is a nice release from his busy dental practice. He says it's extremely healthy to have an avocation like diving, which allows you to recharge for your practice and patients.
Being underwater is almost otherworldly.
"It's just like being in outer space because you're completely weightless," said Dr. Fitton. "It's as close to being in outer space as I'll ever be."
The delights of the world under the oceans are what draw Dr. Fitton to diving. In this world of panoramic vistas glistening with color, there are the inhabitants, large and small creatures unlike any on land, and remnants of history and grim reminders of war, such as downed fighter planes and shipwrecks.
"Just all the different species that exist under there – it is always changing and you never see the same thing twice," Dr. Fitton said. "I never thought I'd get in water with 50 sharks swimming around. They don't pay much attention to you. When you're diving, you don't look interesting to them."
Besides sharks for diving companions, Dr. Fitton has dived with manta rays. Listed as one of the top five dives in the world and a favorite of Dr. Fitton is the manta ray night dive off the shores of Kona, HI. The divers shine lights up in the water to attract the plankton that the manta rays eat. One to 20 manta rays show up and their wingspans stretch between 5-15 feet, he said.
"It's like a choreographed ballet," described Dr. Fitton.
With all these exotic things to see under water, Dr. Fitton's next "logical" step after 10 years of diving was to start photographing his world beneath the waves. He wanted to be able to show others what he was seeing.
"Being a dentist, it's fun to share it with a lot of people," said Dr. Fitton. "In my operatories, I have a slide show on my monitors. The patients love it."
The next place Dr. Fitton wants to visit is Truk Lagoon in the South Pacific. Numerous sunken Japanese war ships are under the water, making it somewhat of a mecca for wreck diving.
"It's like a Japanese Pearl Harbor. There are still tanks on the ships. It's like looking at a part of history," said Dr. Fitton.
If you're interested in scuba diving, Dr. Fitton said you should take a proper certification course and avoid taking a two-hour course at a resort.
"It's like the first time driving on an expressway: you need to know how the car works and then you become much more familiar with it."
He added that you don't stop learning after dental school; you've just begun your training. The same goes for diving: there is CE.
"The first time diving, the sheer adrenaline rush was unbelievable. I was doing something brand new," described Dr. Fitton. "There's no such thing as a boring dive."
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

Three teams of eighth graders represented Readington Middle School at the National Engineers Week Foundation 2012-2013 Future City Competition held on Saturday, Jan. 12 at Rutgers' Livingston Campus. The annual Future City Competition encourages middle school students to develop their interest in science, technology, engineering and math by envisioning solutions to a specific problem.
The theme for this year's competition was "Rethink Runoff: Design Clean Solutions to Manage Stormwater Pollution." The Readington students presented scale models of their model cities of the future, "Chargoville," "Electric Puffinville," and "Gongola." Team Gongola received the "Best Newcomer Award"; this is the first year the school has entered the Future City Competition.
The teams have been working on their projects along with other Readington eighth graders since September. Before presenting on competition day, the students were required to design a virtual city of the future using SimCity4 software, write both a research essay on this year's topic and a city narrative describing key design attributes, and build a physical scale model of their city using recycled materials. Anthony Soriano Jr., a professional engineer with True North Surveying & Engineering, and Susan Jankiewicz, a supply chain analyst with Bard, worked with the teams as mentors.
On competition day, the students stood at their Future City projects for an hour to answer questions about surveying, geomatics, topography, and run-off water management. They were visited by a group of judges who asked them about their models before the students delivered a 10-minute presentation and question and answer session about their cities. As part of competition day, the students also were able to attend several engineering-related workshops.
Readington Middle School enrichment teacher Emily Bengels, who spearheaded the school's participation in Future City, worked with the students in preparing for the competition, and accompanied them to the competition, found the experience quite rewarding. She said, "I am thrilled for all of our students who participated in the Jan.12 event; everyone learned so much."

What kind of batteries?
Do the LEDs stay on on the Wiimote?
I have the factory batteries in one Wiimote since about Christmas and the batteries still show three bars. (Doesn't get used much.) The ones we use more are filled with Energizer 2500mah NIMH batteries and they last days or weeks (used probably 10 hours/week.)
You should definitely see better.
If you're using rechargeables, are you sure they're recharging fully?
Have you tried other batteries?

WARREN - Restaurant owner / operator Mauro Cantalamessa, sworn in Monday as Trumbull County commissioner, pledged afterward that he will work the job full-time.
''I want to be accessible,'' said Cantalamessa, 37. ''I want my office to be open to everybody. I want to hear the needs of the families of Trumbull County, and you can't do that unless you are here.''
After the ceremony on the steps of the Trumbull County Courthouse, Cantalamessa, of Warren - the choice of Trumbull County Democratic Party central committee members to succeed the late commissioner Paul Heltzel - said his background in business and teaching translate well to the job of commissioner.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Ron Selak Jr.
Warren restaurant owner / operator Mauro Cantalamessa is sworn in as Trumbull County commissioner.
Still, a lot of the job ''comes down to listening,'' Cantalamessa said.
''Listening to the townships, listening to the cities, listening to all the municipalities, hearing what they need,'' Cantalamessa said. ''It's hard to prescribe remedies to something when you don't live it, so listening to my trustees and listening to my mayors and my councilman, that will be key.''
Cantalamessa, a former teacher of English at Austintown Fitch High School, left that job about 10 years ago to help run Enzo's Restaurant in Warren following the death of his father. He ran for commissioner in a crowded 2006 Democratic primary election field that also had Frank Fuda, the winner.
He said he hasn't run since because commissioners were ''doing wonderful things already'' and to maintain Democratic party unity.
''Unfortunately, with the passing of Commissioner Heltzel, I thought I could just step in and hopefully lend a hand,'' Cantalamessa said. ''To say 'to fill his shoes' would not be right, but to lend a hand and understand what the other two commissioners are doing and build on that.''
Cantalamessa was among 10 people on July 26 seeking the temporary appointment, which he won in a second ballot run-off against Ken Kubala of Warren. Cantalamessa also won that day the nomination to be on the Nov. 4 ballot to fill the last two year's on Heltzel's term.
How the vote went down - using, in part, a secret ballot - has led to a struggle between local party Chairman Dan Polivka and chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, Chris Redfern, who disagree on how the vote should have done and, so far, has resulted in Redfern taking away the county Democrats franking privilege and access to an electronic voter database.
Redfern has argued the local party broke ODP and Democratic National Committee constitutions by voting in secret. Polivka argues the way the vote went down, including publicly affirming Cantalamessa by voice vote, satisfied his own party's bylaws and the constitutions of the ODP and DNC.
Cantalamessa said he has not, too much, concerned himself with the ''mechanics'' of his selection and believes the matter will be settled by the time campaign season reaches full swing.
''I'm confident that the state party and the local party will find a compromise and put an end to this,'' Cantalamessa said.
Polivka said he's put together a seven-person committee, all central committee members from all points in Trumbull County, to review the suggestions ODP has made for the local party's bylaws. The committee also will examine the bylaws of other county parties, including Cuyahoga County, which uses a caucus in its process to fill vacancies.
Members of the Trumbull County Republican Party will meet 7 p.m. tonight at the Johnson Community Center, 800 Gillmer Road, Leavittsburg, to pick a candidate to be on the ballot. J.D. Williams of Liberty is the only person to apply. However, other nominations could be made tonight.

HAMP: Doomed from the Start
Marc Gans
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law
April 6, 2012
Cornell Real Estate Review, Forthcoming
In February 2009, President Obama's response to the foreclosure crisis was the Home Affordable Mortgage Program (HAMP), designed to help as many as 4 million borrowers avoid foreclosure by the end of 2012. HAMP was the largest part of a broad array of programs called Making Home Affordable (MHA), which itself was part of the $700 billion TARP bailout. $75 billion was set aside to fund HAMP ($50 billion under TARP and $25 billion from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). This paper will critique the effectiveness of HAMP and its companion programs, and dissect what went wrong. This will include an analysis of strategic defaults, securitization, and legal liability. Then, I will lay out proposed solutions and advocate what I think would have been the best solution from the start. Lastly, this paper will provide an outlook for the real estate market.

TRENTON -- The largest medical malpractice verdict ever awarded in New Jersey -- more than $70 million in damages to the parents of a boy who suffered brain damage as an infant -- was overturned today by the state Supreme Court.
The justices, in a 6-0 ruling, said one key reason they tossed the verdict and ordered a new trial was because the Essex County trial jury was unnecessarily exposed to bias against medical professionals and Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston during the jury selection process.
"In light of the relentless and unchecked litany of complaints throughout the selection process, the attorneys had no way of knowing which of the potential jurors who had expressed no bias might later find it impossible to put aside what they had heard from those who had been excused," Justice Helen Hoens wrote for the court.
There were also numerous errors that "pervaded the trial," where expert testimony and evidence was prevented from being fully considered, according to the decision.
Ross Lewin, a lawyer for the New Jersey Hospital Association, which participated in the case, said the decision would keep future malpractice suit awards in check.
"This was well beyond ten-fold higher than standard verdicts of this kind of injury," Lewin said. "A verdict of that size would far exceed the limits of most hospital insurance policies and potentially bankrupt them."
The court acted in the case of Casey Pellicer, formerly of Elizabeth, who, at 4 months old, suffered brain damage after surgery in 1998.
The baby was born with spina bofida and underwent a procedure at Saint Barnabas to remove a cyst near his spine, but while recuperating, his brain was deprived of oxygen for several minutes.
As a result, the child suffers from significant intellectual, verbal and neuron motor deficiencies, according to court documents. "Although through the years that have passed since his injury he has made a great deal of physical progress and has achieved numerous developmental milestones, he faces a lifetime during which he will need substantial, round-the-clock care," Hoens wrote.
The trial jury held that Delphine Anderson, a nurse, and Anne Olesnicky, a physician, failed to take the appropriate action when an endotracheal tube giving the infant oxygen, dislodged. It also assigned culpability to two other physicians, Michael Vallee and Norman Zeig, who were not in the room when Casey was deprived of sufficient oxygen, but were accused of poorly training Olesnicky.
The jury initially awarded the boy's parents -- Areli and Henry Pellicer -- $75 million in damages. That was later recalculated to about $70 million, which included $50 million for pain and suffering -- the largest medical malpractice verdict ever delivered in New Jersey.
Anderson's lawyer, Louis Ruprecht, said he had expected the Supreme Court's decision would be in his client's favor and that the case would be retried. Olesnicky's lawyer, Kevin Coughlin, did not return calls for comment.
Sally Malech, a spokeswoman for Saint Barnabas Medical Center, said that as a policy, the hospital does not comment on litigation.
The Pellicers could not be reached for comment today. Their lawyer, Craig Rothenberg, did not respond to requests for comment.
The justices remanded the case for another trial. The decision overturned an appeals court ruling that had concluded: "We cannot say that $50 million is so disproportionate to the devastating injuries and disabilities suffered by this plaintiff, and which will be with him for the rest of his life."
Justice Barry Albin did not participate in the decision.

So how were your weekends? I had grand intentions of starting to get packed up and baking and tidying and cleaning and so on. It didn't work out quite like that.
We started out the weekend with a lovely dinner at Table Two with friends. We got hushed by some old dude (whose' table was singing Christmas Carols…weird) but it was still great fun. The food was, as always, delicious, though I would have made the peri-peri sauce hotter. It was definitely mild. Still, delicious and we were only home around 11.30pm.
Due to all the rain on Thursday and Friday, all cricket throughout the district was cancelled on Saturday. What did I do with this unexpected Saturday off? I slept in till 10am then moved to the couch where I ready about the devious dealings of Cecil Rhodes and the far-reaching effects of the diamond and gold rushes in southern Africa. Fascinating stuff! I really must get my hand on some more history books like that. We were so lazy it terrible. I only got out of my pj's to have a bath, that evening. My laziness was not helped by the fact that my teeth were so sore I didn't know what to do with myself! I will try to get hold of the dentist, again, today (Update: got an appointment for tomorrow). In the meantime, Myprodol and Tejel are my friends.
I didn't get around to making biscuits, I will do it this evening. I did make some beer-bread with feta and rosemary which we thoroughly enjoyed, lathered with butter or dipped in good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was so unbelievably easy. Seriously. It'd be a great recipe for kids, put all the ingredients in a bowl, pour in a bottle of beer (the small 330 ml ones worked just fine) and let them go wild slurping around till it's all mixed. Turn it into a greased pan and bake. Eat, enjoy! The original recipe is here.
Tara's version of Farm Girl Fare's Beer bread
3c flour
1 TBsp sugar
1 TB sp fresh baking powder
1 tsp salt + Coarse salt to garnish
1 bottle beer (I used a 330 ml bottle of Hansa Marzen Gold)
1/2 c fresh finely chopped rosemary
1 round of black pepper feta + 1/4 round for garnish
1 egg, beaten, to glaze.
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Get a pair of hands that are willing to get dirty, kids work well. Pour in the beer slowly mixing the flour mixture together all the time. The dough will come together slowly. When it is no longer sticking to the side of the bowl, add the rosemary and crumbled feta and knead to combine it all. Turn the dough into a greased bread tin. Brush the surface with the beaten egg and sprinkle quite liberally, with coarse salt. Don't be shy, some of the salt will come off as you eat it so it won't taste salty. Crumble the last 1/4 round of feta over the salt and bake for 45mins at 190C.
Allow the loaf to cool for about 30 mins, otherwise the steam will prevent you from slicing it nicely. Serve with a mezze platter, or just with some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dunking, some butter, some olive tapenade, or enjoy it on it's own.
Sunday was not much better. The crappy weather closed in and it was cold and damp all day. J went on various quests in Warcraft, I read another book, then built pyramids and cities in Children of the Nile. We had rolls for lunch and J made enchiladas for dinner. With chilli powder. A LOT of chilli powder. I think I drank about a litre of milk with dinner! WOW! I'm all for hot stuff but that was over doing it a bit! We watched a few episodes of Burn Notice…mmm that Michael is hot. And then called it a night. Very lazy, very much just what I needed!
Today I will muddle through. I have to go pick up some forms from Rhodes but other than that, I've not got a lot on my plate other than the many small things that need doing!

"The diversity in our students adds different perspectives to in-class conversations. Most of our students are working, which makes the context of the course material relevant and applicable.
"Teaching at a university is always changing— new students, new ideas and new personalities. At CU Denver everyone who is here wants an education. They work so hard and have a good handle on what they value. Our students seem to really care about learning."

Hulk Hogan's ex-wife has decided to retract allegations her wrestler husband had engaged in a gay affair during their marriage.
Linda, who alleged Hulk had a fling with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake in her 2011 memoir "Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes," now says her claims were taken out of context. "When you're mad and you're going through a divorce, you say things you just don't mean," she said during an appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show" this week.
Hogan also took a moment to apologize, stating, "Hulkster, I'm sorry. I love and I will always love you."
When Williams asked her guest what she missed most about married life, Hogan noted, "I miss him and I miss the family, I miss the family unit…it was a good time with him."
In February, Hulk — aka Terrance Gene "Terry" Bollea — also appeared on Williams' show to defend himself against the gay allegations. "It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life, a lot of my friends in the entertainment business, and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay," he told Williams. "Just to say something spiteful and hurtful, I don't get it…if it was true and I was gay, I'd embrace it, and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it."
In late 2011, Hulk filed a defamation lawsuit against Linda, who also claimed her husband was prone to violent, threatening outbursts during their marriage. At the time, Hogan's attorney Wil Florin told The St. Petersburg Times, "He's being accused of all sorts of vile conduct that he did not commit."
Take a look at other celebrities who've faced rumors about their sexuality below:
Jeremy Renner
The hunky star of "The Avengers" blasted persistent rumors about his sexuality — as well as probes into his personal life in general — earlier this month.
"I want my personal life to be personal, and it's not f***ing true," Renner, 41, is quoted as saying. "And I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life.. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f***ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?"
Kristin Stewart
In 2009, gossip sites went wild with headlines that suggested the "Twilight" star was a lesbian. However, a closer look at Stewart's quotes reveals how she was actually responding to a question over the nature of her relationship with co-star Robert Pattinson:
"I've thought about this a lot. There's no answer that's not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation. 'OK, we are. We aren't. I'm a lesbian.' I probably would've answered if people hadn't made such a big deal about it. But I'm not going to give the finding an answer."
Jessie J.
The British pop star, who is openly bisexual, faced allegations in an unauthorized biography that she'd been ordered to withhold the fact that she was a lesbian by her record label.
"Jessie might have been with boys in the past — but she is 100 per cent gay," author Chloe Govan wrote in an excerpt of the book. "Jessie was openly lesbian and didn't hide it."
The singer quickly took to Twitter to deny the accusations, noting, "I'm really a lesbian?! Ha! Thanks for writing yet another boring untrue story."
James Franco
The 21st century actor, artist, intellectual and overall "renaissance man" has believably played gay characters onscreen numerous times (most memorably as Harvey Milk's lover in the Oscar-winning "Milk"), but Franco has downplayed the rumors about his real-life sexuality. "There are lots of other reasons to be interested in gay characters than wanting myself to go out and have sex with guys," he is quoted by Entertainment Weekly as saying.
Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino
The "Jersey Shore" star reportedly hit back at housemates Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley after they speculated about his sexuality and hinted he might be gay in an interview with HuffPost Gay Voices.
"Mike really ripped both Snooki and JWoww a new one," a show insider told The Chicago Sun-Times. Noting that Sorrentino is concerned such comments could hurt his brand endorsements, which are focused on straight male customers, the source added, "He's extremely upset."
In the interview, both JWoww and Snooki implied that despite his playboy reputation, Mike has questioned his own sexuality. "He brings it up," JWoww said. "He'll say, 'People think I'm gay and I don't know what they're talking about.'" Added Snooki: "He told me one time, '[All the talk is] making me wonder.'"
Bruno Mars
Rumors that the pop star had come out of the closet began after CNN iReport — a subsection of the media outlet comprising 'citizen journalists' from around the world — posted a since-removed story that stated, "The famous pop-star Bruno Mars admits his homosexuality," which caused the Mars' name to trend on Twitter.
Nonetheless, Mars' rep called the report "completely fabricated" and "false," according to Gossip Cop.
Hulk Hogan
In an appearance on "The Wendy Williams Show," Hulk Hogan responded to accusations made by his ex-wife Linda that he had an affair with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake.
"It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life, a lot of my friends in the entertainment business, and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay," he told Wendy Williams.
He continued, "Just to say something spiteful and hurtful, I don't get it…if it was true and I was gay, I'd embrace it, and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it."
Tom Cruise
Despite three high-profile marriages, the "Top Gun" star has been the subject of gay speculation for years. In 2003, he won a $10 million default judgment in a case against a gay porn actor who claimed the two had an affair, and two years earlier, he sued Los Angeles-based publisher Michael Davis for $100 million after Davis claimed to have a videotape of Cruise engaged in homosexual acts. As People reported, the suit was eventually dropped, and Davis eventually stated that Cruise "is not, and never has been, homosexual and has never had a homosexual affair."
Oprah Winfrey
Speculation has swirled over the talk show queen's long-standing kinship with TV anchor friend Gayle King for years. But as Winfrey told Barbara Walters last year, "I'm not even kind of a lesbian. And the reason why [the rumor] irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's No. 1. No. 2 … why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."
Vin Diesel
When asked about the long-standing rumors on his sexuality, the "Fast And The Furious" star proclaimed, "I was like, 'How could you say that? Why would you say that?'" He went on to note, "I'm not gonna put it out there on a magazine cover like some other actors. I come from the Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino code of silence. I'm not gonna do that."
Kelly Clarkson
Appearing on "The View," the pop star lamented the fact that she's never been in love and has difficulty dating, which prompt many people to speculate that she's a lesbian. "I'm from a small town so, like, everyone's married with children or about to have children," she said. "So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like — and that's why people think I'm gay — because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like, 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'"
Tom Hardy
The "Inception" hunk sent the blogosphere into overdrive after he was quoted as saying, "I'm an actor for f**k's sake. I've played with everything and everyone." Still, a source now claims Hardy, who is engaged to British actress Charlotte Riley, had been taken out of context: "He was discussing a gay role and quotes coming from the character."
George Clooney
After Esquire uncovered a website that referred to the Oscar-winning hunk as "gay, gay, gay," the good-natured actor quipped, "No, I'm gay, gay. The third gay — that was pushing it." Friend Manuele Malenotti has also defended Clooney, noting, "You never know in life, and men are having an identity crisis but I can tell you George is not gay. All I can say is that George, when it comes to love, has decided that he is not going to get married again and he is not going to have any children and he won't change his mind."
The 'Gossip' Guys
Tabloid speculation over the button-handsome young stars of "Gossip Girl" has been rampant, particularly given the fact that Chace Crawford (right) and Ed Westwick (middle) were roommates for some time, according to New York Magazine. Westwick later blasted the rumors, saying, "It's funny because I love this f**king dude dearly. I would die for this f**king dude. He's my brother. But, by God, we are so into our f**king women it's ridiculous."
Michelle Rodriguez
When asked earlier this year if there were any rumors she wanted to clear up, Rodriguez quipped, "I'm not a lesbian. Yeah! Mitchie likes sausage."
Zac Efron
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has made no secret of his admiration for the "High School Musical" star, while other gossip sites have openly speculated about Efron's sexuality. Still, Efron has laughed it off: "I know it's very addictive to read that kind of stuff. It's entertainment. Honestly, if the worst [Perez Hilton] can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it."
Alicia Keys
The singer-songwriter acknowledges why many thought she was a lesbian shortly after her Grammy Award-winning debut: "I was definitely rough around the edges. I look back at certain interviews and I'm like, 'Damn! Did I have to look that hard? Did I have to do my hair that way?' More recently, she said, "I'm comfortable in my own skin – comfortable enough to know when something is right for me and when things need to change. All that comes in time, because when I first started out, I hadn't a clue."
John Travolta
Maybe it's the "Saturday Night Fever" syndrome, but Travolta, who has been married to Kelly Preston since 1991, has been dogged by gay rumors and reports since the late 1980s. Last year, his attorney Marty Singer sent to a five-page letter to Gawker threatening to sue over posting "false and outrageous" claims in a story the site ran in a post called "The Secret Sex Life of John Travolta."
Kate Hudson
The "Almost Famous" star, who is currently dating Muse singer Matthew Bellamy and was previously married to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, said she was baffled by rumors she'd embarked on a steamy lesbian affair. "No, no, no," she was quoted as saying. "Strictly boys for me!"
Ryan Seacrest
Speculation about the well-groomed TV's host sexuality has been so rampant, even his girlfriend Julianne Hough thought he was gay: "He totally wasn't my type," she said, according to TMZ.com. "I thought he was gay." Several years earlier, Seacrest himself had addressed the rumors, noting, "I know a lot of gay males who I work with that are fantastic people and I love hanging out with them. But because I hang out and bring gay men into my life, does that mean that I'm gay? I promise you that I very much love women."
Zoe Saldana
Addressing speculation she might be a lesbian, the self-professed tomboy said she wasn't bothered by the reports, adding, "People have sometimes told my grandmother, 'Your granddaughter has a bit of lesbianism in her,'" Saldana said. "It's that my sisters and I spent all our time among men. We were very popular with them. Our way of thinking is very masculine."

House Rejected Late Senate Proposal for Roads Money
A last-ditch effort by Senate budget leaders to find more funding for the Texas Department of Transportation was rebuffed by the House, according to people involved in budget negotiations.
Since the start of the legislative session, Senate Finance Chairman Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, and Senate Transportation Chairman Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, have been among the most vocal proponents of finding more revenue for TxDOT, which has said it needs $4 billion more in extra funding each year just to maintain current congestion around the state.
"The one thing I think we're falling short on is transportation funding," Williams said on ...

Missouri Department of Insurance releases latest consumer complaint numbers
Consumer can search insurers' complaint histories before buying
Jefferson City, Mo. - Consumers shopping for insurance can use the latest complaint data released by the Missouri Department of Insurance. The annual complaint index report is posted and searchable on the department's website, insurance.mo.gov. Users can view consumer complaint histories for more than 1,200 insurance companies doing business in Missouri since 2009.
Each insurance company in the online database is assigned a complaint index number, which explains whether the company has a high, average or low volume of complaints based on its size. A complaint index of 100 is average. An index less than 100 means a company receives fewer complaints than average, while an index of more than 100 means a company receives more complaints than average.
The online search feature can be sorted by line of insurance, such as auto, homeowners, long-term care or health. Consumers can find a complaint index rating for a particular company, or view the rankings of companies with the highest or lowest number of complaints within a three-year period.
"Missouri's competitive insurance market allows consumers to shop around for a company that suits their needs," Missouri Insurance Director John M. Huff said. "Our complaint index gives consumers a look at how an insurance company treats its policyholders, whether that's claims handling, pricing, marketing tactics or other factors."
The complaint index numbers are based on the roughly 3,500 complaints consumers file with the department every year. The department mediates complaints and in 2011 helped consumers receive an extra $19.2 million in claims payments from their insurance companies. Consumers who filed complaints related to the Joplin tornado have received an extra $5.5 million in claims payments.
In addition to using the complaint index, Huff says consumers should check to make sure their agent or insurance company is licensed to do business in Missouri. That information is also available on the department's website on the right-hand side under Look Up an Agent/Agency.
Consumers can file complaints, get complaint index ratings, verify licensing or ask general insurance questions by calling the Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or visiting insurance.mo.gov.

iOS devices bring Apple $576.3, Androids cash in only $3.5 to Google

google is crazy.
50. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
yes and no... if they have the money to support android, this solution is fantastic because it pushes google to everything... but if they do not have the money to support it then no... the probem is apple is moving away from google services, but i think it will be fine... if microsoft apple, oracle, nokia, and various others keep taking a part of the pie, google might need to charge licenses for their os...
2. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Android is fundamentally a open source free platform for everyone and therefore its not a way for google specifically to make billions on. Apple model on the other hand is a tight restrictive,massively locked down total control system and money gouging happens to the maximum potential,usually at ifans expense so all in all these figure are as expected.
Googles revenues come from so many different aspects of its total business as well as ios as PA documented here before that google is getting money from each ios device sale.

Hey andro I heard google was on the grassy noll. You'll still defend them though.

Nope. It is based on two open source free platforms - Linux and Java - but Google has stolen Java and right now are defending their actions in court against Oracle. Android doesn't even play nice by the rules of Linux open source community. Android's days may be numbered.

Basically Giggle way is to make money out of everuthing possible. They're good at only one thing - their search engine. The only use of Handroid as an ''open-source'' is to make Handroid fans look at the commercials. If one day Handroid's popularity decreases, I am 90% sure that they will immediately abandon it. And move to the next thing that can bring them cash - like strip bars, if necessary. :)

Apparently Google is good at making an OS that makes fans of other OSs green with envy as well.

Wait, was "giggle" and "handroid" supposed to be funny or comical?
It wasn't.
It wasn't even remotely clever.
If your friends encouraged you to use those phrases they aren't your friends, they just laugh at you behind your back.

Did somebody say the Android is a open source platform. It is but it is the least open of the open source platforms. That obviously doesn't help.http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/08/study-android-is-least-open-of-open-source-mobile-platforms.ars

What I got from this article is Google still made $544M from an OS they give away to everyone for free! Good job Google!

Do y'all know why apple is the KING: because they give you a badass software and a sick hardware to accompnay it. That's why neither google, samsung, htc etc can't compete lmao. And yes i have used android since the day one it came out but after switching to IOS last 3 weeks i just realized how laggy and buggy peice of s**t my galaxy S was..

So what happens the first time your iPhone screws up? (Yes, it happens.)
40. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
You do know that Apple is paying Google, Samsung, and all these other companies because these companies actually make everything for Apple.
48. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Boeing makes some of the parts for cadillac, Ferrari makes domes parts for Chevy. Who cares... Apple competes with these companies, and they pay apple for patents that they use in their software. The wheels on the bus go round and round round and round round and round. Think about it.
55. RageQuit (Posts: 41; Member since: 05 Sep 2011)
Now try webOS, it kicks the asses of both android and iOS in fluidity. when you do you will realize how laggy and buggy your peice of s**t iPhone was. Have fun with your software that makes doing simple things like connecting to a hospital wifi a pain.
9. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I still think these estimates are low. Besides, it's great that Google is making bank on the services it provides on all devices that use it.
For Google, it's never been purely about profit-it's been about making themselves ubiquitous- a goal they've already succeeded at with their online services, and a goal they're pretty damn close to achieving on Android. In fact, I can't imagine their market share increasing much more in the mobile world.

ios devices = ios + hardware with highest profit margin. android = open source platform.

ios just claims to be secure when its not. bbos used to be secure but it has gone downhill. ios just plain boring nothin but app grid. they just buy hardware from other manufactures and toss it inside a pretty case. they are very hard to repair and repair too costs a fortune.
41. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
IOS isn't secure. The US military uses Android for a reason.
21. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ok, that graph obviously does not count the liscencing fees for google apps and the Play store that they charge manufacturers. That is a whole lot of conjecture based on one number.
Assuming thats even remotely true.
YAAAAY GOOOGLE!!! Way to milk the competition while leaving your own customer's money in their pockets.
For all the iOS nuts that are going to comment something derogatory about google, remember, your paying for our OS. Thanks, guys. HA!
34. darkkjedii (Posts: 21323; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
We're happy to help u out, since google can't make one themselves. iOS is boss, google takes the loss.

Oh, so apple made OSX/Darwin completely from scratch? Didn't take a thing from BSD huh?

dude, as long as you are happy to not only pay for your phone, but mine, u can keep on making stupid jokes.
face it.. google was smart enough to know that crazed inuts are OK with spending money when they have no idea where its going :)

Based on the limited $ that Google is making from even iOS sales, it should be obvious that Google is not looking at handset sales as its revenue engine. Instead, it's revenue engine is from the searches conducted from the handset.
Which explains the 'fee' it paid to Apple to continue being the default search engine on iOS.
Apple, OTOH, makes its $ from iDevice sales. The App store and iTunes ecosystem merely serve to feed the demand for iDevices, and Apple's 30% revenue share allows it to basically break even on those costs.
Good article. I was wondering about Google's revenues per Android device. Those numbers must have made Larry Ellison go batsh*t crazy. He probably didn't even cover his litigation expense.....
28. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
This makes sense - I rarely buy anything for my smartphone - too many ways to get it free....it is called 'being smart'.
Apple users love to get screwed by paying for something that can be free on an Android phone. Good for Android users and bad for iPhone users, and good for APPLE.

There is no reason for anyone here to be surprised by this unless they've been hiding in a closet for a long time and just joined. Otherwise, I do not understand why anyone here would be surprised by this... unless they are just pretending to be surprised so they can practice being drama queens...

Google is accomplishing exactly what they intend to accomplish. They are an advertisement company, pure and simple, Android is just a vehicle to obtain cash flow for advertisers. Unfortunately, Android users THINK they are the customer, of which they are not. To Google, the advertiser is the customer. The Android user? He/she is the product being sold. This is why, Android users are drones who line up behind a company that utters the words "OPEN", when everyone and his sister knows they are not open. Open to advertisers and carriers maybe. Once Android users come to realize that they are nothing but a bunch of sell-outs, than maybe they can do something about it and demand Google treat them like customers. But right now, they have their Google colored glasses on and cant see past their nose. Otherwise they will simply go on denying that they are a bunch of advertisement whores like the commentors below.
45. hepresearch (unregistered)
In that case, congratulations! The average iOS user has saved themselves from being an "advertisement whore" by paying in an extra $573 to their OS provider over the course of two years... while the "advertisement whores" spend less than 1% of that on their OS provider in the same time frame...
I wonder if advertisements are actually SAVING MONEY for people? If so, then what in the world is an iOS user doing with that $573 extra cash they are throwing at Apple?
43. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Seems like apple users are proud to see that their favorite company is swimming in cash. Apple does not care about any one customer specifically - unless your have stock in the company, you really are not benefitting from apple getting more money out of a consumer as compared to google. This is why I have an Android phone - I have more control what I do and how I do it and what I can buy. I am not forced to purchase only from the Play market and can download stuff from the internet, like I could with my old windows phone.
44. SteffenJobbs (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Apr 2012)
But just remember... Android is winning. The little green trashcan OS has captured 50% of smartphone market share. Market share is all that matters to Wall Street and Droid Lovers. Android is fully open to malware, fragmentation and any other crap someone decides to upload. That's what makes Android great for users. Freedom to do anything, good or bad.
46. paulyyd (Posts: 338; Member since: 08 Jan 2011)
lol i think its hilarious how all android phone are all pieces of s**t :)
47. hepresearch (unregistered)
I think it's hilarious that iPhones cost less to make than any other smart phone design... thanks to "forced interns" at Foxconn. "Forced", as in "caused to act under duress"... "Intern", as in "someone who works as an apprentice at no cost to their employer"... just a politically-sanitized way of calling someone a "slave" if you ask me.

51. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
Oh, you quoted from asymco, the site that never, every reports anything negative about apple, ever.
"But he backs everything up with 'facts'! "
He still is an biased apple fan boi. Figures don't lie but liars figure.
54. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Dang, Apple rape'n folk!
And the Apple fans are happy apple is making so much money, there is just one problem they fail to see, IT'S THEIR MONEY APPLE'S MAKING.
I feel my money is best kept in my pocket, And they don't realize they help google out more than us Fandroids do by buying an iPhone, money coming, money going, BEAUTIFUL!

TOKYO (AP) - Japan's unemployment rate edged up in May to 5.4 percent as joblessness spread rapidly to women, who had evaded the worst in cutbacks that for long assaulted this nation's male work force.
Government data released Friday show the unemployment rate for women rose to a record high of 5.3 percent in May, surging from 4.9 percent in April and above the previous record of 5.2 percent reached in February.
Although the unemployment rate has been gradually climbing for women, it has stayed below the men's rate that peaked at a record high 5.8 percent in December. The jobless rate for men inched up to 5.5 percent in May from 5.4 percent in April.
"The unemployment problem is spreading to women as well," said Masato Chino, director of the government's labor force statistics office. "It looked as though the downturn in jobs stopped in February, but things have returned in May to previous levels."
May marks the 11th straight month that Japan's unemployment rate stood at or above 5 percent. It hit a record high of 5.5 percent in December - the worst since the government began keeping track in 1953. It improved to 5.3 percent in the first two months of this year, and then stood unchanged at 5.2 percent in March and April.
The number of unemployed in Japan totaled 3.75 million in May, up 270,000 from the same month last year. Those without jobs grew a seasonally adjusted 110,000 in May from April. Women jobseekers totaled a seasonally adjusted 1.43 million people, surging a seasonal 90,000 people from April.
The dire picture underlines the fragility of this nation's recovery. The government has said the downturn is bottoming out, largely on a rise in exports boosted by recovery in the United States and the rest of Asia.
But doubts are resurfacing about the strength of the U.S. rebound. The U.S. unemployment rate is now at 5.8 percent.
Although Japan's economy grew 1.4 percent in the first three months of this year after a nine-month contraction, the momentum for recovery is weak.
The government is forecasting growth to stay flat for fiscal 2002 because of doubts about getting on track for solid growth. Jobs are diminishing in almost every sector, including manufacturing and construction. And the continuing job woes are almost certain to crimp consumer spending, which makes up about half of the Japanese economy.
Friday's data also showed that job cuts were hitting full-time workers more harshly than part-time workers. They also showed the number of people working 49 or more hours a week has risen for the past three months.
Takeshi Minami, senior economist at UFJ Tsubasa Securities, said a slight lift in the economy is likely to worsen the unemployment rate as streams of people return to the work force, encouraged by the good news, while jobs don't grow fast enough to accommodate them.
"Japanese companies are under pressure to cut costs. Even if production picks up, they will deal with it by overtime and won't add jobs," he said. "The unemployment rate is likely to rise."
