Henrik Kjellberg
M goi, and thank you for being on this call. For those of you who follow these calls, it will feel a bit like a repeat of last quarter's call, although if you listen carefully you will trace more optimism in my tone than in the previous two quarters.
Since we last spoke, our team has been hard at work and while the results have not improved this quarter, we see much room for improvement to turn eLong around. We realize this will take some time as there are no quick fixes to the various challenges that we face, but we're committed to the task and I believe we are right on track.
I do believe, however, that we have made some improvements after a review of our company and that we are laying a new foundation at eLong, one that will yield great results over the long term.
I would like to update you on our progress in our key areas of focus. First, the management team. We are delighted to have hired our new CEO, Guangfu Cui, who has extensive experience of operating consumer businesses for multinational corporations in China, including Proctor & Gamble and FedEx Kinko's. I have had the pleasure of working with Guangfu over the past weeks and I have been increasingly impressed with his ability to grasp the business. He has already had a big impact on the team and on the business and it's with a lot of confidence that I have handed the business over to him.
We are also very pleased to have added a new CTO, Ken Liao, who joins us from Cisco and a new VP of Operations, Jenny Watson, who joins us from Expedia and Hotels.com and brings extensive experience in call center operations to the team.
Secondly, our back end platform. We have concluded a review of our systems and will start introducing new technology during the course of 2008. Importantly, we'll continue to implement enhancements to the existing platform to continue improving the user experience in the interim and we hope to tell you more about our infrastructure developments in the next quarter.
Thirdly, we are relentless in elevating our call center performance. We have introduced peak season planning to better match our contact center staffing with expected call volumes and are implementing a number of other very basic but extremely meaningful improvements to the call center. We believe that over the next six to 12 months we will see significant difference in terms of quality and efficiency on our call center.
Lastly, we continue to refine our sales and marketing strategy.
Going forward, I believe these four themes will remain our key improvement areas and we look forward to updating you on our progress. Now, it is with great pleasure I introduce you to our new CEO Guangfu Cui for some brief remarks.
Guangfu Cui
Thank you, Henrik. Hello, everyone. Thank you for attending today. I am very delighted to be part of the eLong team. I would like to take a moment to share my thoughts on the business and the priorities I have identified over the past month.
First things first -- I believe in building a culture based on people, service and purpose which is based on taking care of our people so that they can take better care of our customers; a philosophy that will generate returns over the long term.
Second, we will continue our effort to build our management team, not only at the VP level but also at the director and manager levels.
Third, we will focus on enhancing our customers' experiences. We will focus on the fundamentals. We will fix the base business first with a heavy emphasis on execution and platform enhancements, especially in the call center.
Our sales and marketing approach will more proactively target our current customer base where we have emphasized our efforts on acquiring new customers, an important strategy with the rapid growth of China's travel market. It is also critical that we earn the loyalty of our existing customers. As Henrik has mentioned, sales and marketing investment is a main area of focus for us and we intend to be creative in giving our customers compelling reasons to continue to transact with us. We have a lot of work ahead of us but I am confident that with a continuous and relentless focus on execution, we will see improved results.
Thank you very much. Now I would like to hand it to Chris.
Chris Chan
Thank you, Guangfu. Let me give you an overview of our third quarter results starting with our statement of operations, followed by our balance sheet. Our third quarter total gross revenues were RMB 83.9 million, an increase of 12% year over year. The mix of revenue from our core travel business declined slightly over the prior year to 96% of total revenue. Gross revenue from hotel commissions totaled RMB 64.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 12% mainly due to higher room volumes. Hotel room nights booked through eLong totaled 1.009 million in the third quarter, up 13% from 893,000 in the corresponding period a year ago.
Hotel commissions per room night were RMB 63.8, which is slightly lower than the same period last year of RMB 64.3. Our hotel commission rate of 15% remains unchanged from the same period a year ago. Our third quarter 2007 average daily rate of RMB 416 was slightly lower than RMB 421 in the same period last year.
Gross revenue from air ticketing during the third quarter was RMB 15.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 41%. The air segment was 370,000 an increase of 36% over the prior year period. Commissions earned per air ticket in the third quarter were RMB 42, up slightly from RMB 41 in the third quarter last year. The average ticket price was RMB 891 as compared to RMB 867 in the third quarter of 2006 while the average commission rate in the third quarter was unchanged year on year at 4.7%.
Other travel revenue in the third quarter of 2007 was RMB 0.9 million, a year-over-year decrease of 77% from RMB 3.9 million. The year-over-year decrease was mostly due to the full quarterly effect of the vacation package suspension and a one-time adjustment of shared revenue from Expedia last year. Non-travel revenue accounted for 4% of total revenue in the third quarter and consisted mainly of non-travel online advertising on our website.
Let me point out that we start from this quarter onwards to report revenues net of business tax and surcharges. We have adjusted the statement of operations accordingly. The effect is a reclassification of business tax and surcharges from operating expenses to a reduction of gross revenues. There will be restated statements of operations on eLong's investor relations website after the earnings call, for your convenience.
Gross margin in the third quarter was 74%, down over 200 basis points from 76% in the same quarter last year, due to a higher mix of lower margin air revenue.
Service development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses together were RMB 67.3 million, a year-over-year increase of 31% from RMB 51.4 million, mainly because of higher sales and marketing and consulting expenses. The increased expense in sales and marketing was due to a higher advertising and promotions spending, as well as increased sales commissions.
In the third quarter, we also incurred approximately RMB 7 million in consulting expense as part of our effort to improve operations and customer service. Without this one-time expense, the Q3 general and administrative expense would have been RMB 11.3 million, or 14% of net revenue.
Let me now make a few comments on our balance sheet. As of September 30th, 2007 the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $158 million. We intend to continue to use our cash balance to enhance our organic growth and consider strategic acquisitions in the future.
During the third quarter, we had capital expenditures of RMB 4.8 million compared with RMB 5.7 million in 2006. This amount mainly paid for technology and infrastructure investments, including increased server capacity and other hardware and software purchases.
Finally, let me share with you our business outlook for the fourth quarter of 2007. eLong expects total net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 to be within the range of RMB 73 million to RMB 80 million, an increase of 12% to 22% from the fourth quarter of 2006.
This concludes the financial review. Henrik and I will look forward to any questions you may have. Operator, if you would now open the call for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Your first question comes from Catherine Liu - Citigroup.
Catherine Liu - Citigroup
On last quarter's call you mentioned that the review phase of the turnaround plan would conclude at the end of August and that some changes will be implemented thereafter. Now that the consulting review phase has been completed, can you please share with us some of the findings from this consultation and what, if any, changes have been implemented?
My second question is on your sales and marketing strategy. You mentioned on the call that you would refine your strategy and more proactively target your existing customers. Could you elaborate on what the strategy will be going forward? Thank you.
Chris Chan
Catherine, this is Chris. Could you repeat your first question please?
Catherine Liu - Citigroup
My first question is on some of the findings of the consultation that I understand was completed at the end of August. What were some of the findings and what, if any, changes have been implemented so far?
Henrik Kjellberg
Hi, Catherine. Given that I started the work I will start the question and then I will hand it over to Guangfu. The findings were largely in line with let's call it our suspicions, which was that the call center needs a fundamental upgrade both in terms of how we recruit, retain and train people and also the systems that would support that call center. So those were the main findings of the company and we asked the consultancy companies to very much focus on the operational side. That's also what they did.
They have given us a detailed plan, which we are following and implementing a number of changes on, which include the planning, as I mentioned earlier, but also will include things going forward which we are now evaluating which relate to the systems, the back end that supports the call center going forward.
I think with Guangfu coming on board I would like to have him comment on some of the things that he has seen as well, which I believe are very much in line with the findings of the consultancy group.
Guangfu Cui
Yes I would like to just elaborate on what Henrik has said. The findings are pretty similar and now it is really about the actions we are going to take going forward. There are several actions we are taking to really make sure that we have a balanced approach toward the new customer acquisition and the loyalty of existing customers.
One thing we have adopted is to make a triple points award to the existing customers if they book online for our hotel rooms. This is an effort that we are going to support our existing customers for more loyalty points.
Secondly, we are really working on the fundamentals, basically back to the point of we've taken an initiative we call know who I am and save my time. Basically we want to know who the customer is and how to save their time when they transact with our call centers and websites.
Just give you a concrete sense of it, we have worked to shorten our call center scripts from 900 words to 470 and it's been implemented. The customers should see the immediate change in call center efficiency and in how eLong makes it easy for them to do business with us.
Thank you.
Your next question comes from Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
Chris, could you break down your accounts receivable? I noticed that you have a $40 million accounts receivable. What is the source of this accounts receivable?
Chris Chan
It's mostly an account settlement receivable with hotels so I think it's between 70% to 75% from hotels and the rest are mainly from credit card settlements with banks and some air ticketing receivables. We do use some ticketing agents and we use a separate delivery company to collect our cash, so those would be the main components.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
Do you have a percentage of how much is from the hotel commissions?
Chris Chan
I just said 70% to 75% is for hotel.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
75 okay. Well, last week at Ctrip had said at the analyst conference call -- I asked the same question. They have about $290 million of accounts receivable and I asked the same question. They told me that some of the credit card payments for airline ticketing is booked as accounts receivable. Do you do that in eLong?
Chris Chan
I think it would not be receivable from the airlines. It would be receivable from banks because there is some lead time settlement, settling the credit card payment.
Your next question comes from Chun Ming Zhao - Susquehanna International Group.
Chun Ming Zhao - Susquehanna International Group
We saw there is an increase in your sales and marketing in the G&A expense. May we know more details and will this trend continue going forward in the next quarters?
The second question is, would you please give us more color on your upcoming quarters like revenue and the competition figures? Thank you.
Henrik Kjellberg
I'll take it and then I'll also hand over to Guangfu on the forward-looking statements. On the sales and marketing, we did see an increase in spend. A large part of this relates to the fact that we wanted to be more aggressive and try new channels of marketing whilst we still had some of the old channels that we've been relying upon in the past working for us. So we have seen a spike in sales and marketing and we are aware of this.
We do think that spike is likely to continue over the next, I would say let's call it the short to medium term, but over time we do expect that to decrease by a bit but we haven't quantified that number yet. The reason for that, as Guangfu will explain later, is that we are trying to very much re-charter the way we do sales and marketing, which has for a long time been reliant upon handing out cards in physical places in China.
On the G&A, that's a one-time event. We recruited a consultancy firm to help us out, which brought the costs up. We were in a state where the company was in a drastic need for a turnaround and we judged it to be a judicious use of funds to help the company get kick started on a new process to really turn eLong around, so that is a one-time expense.
I've given you some indication on the sales and marketing going forward, but I would like Guangfu also to share his view on really what our plans on the sales and marketing are because I do believe those are of some interest to the investors at large.
Guangfu Cui
As I have mentioned, my strategy is to take a balanced approach toward the existing customer base and acquiring new customers. In the past, we have been relying on the traditional channel of handing out the cards in the airports, the railway stations and bus stations, for example, to acquire new customers which is very costly and it starts to reach a point that the customers actually are annoyed to be receiving these cards.
However, there is quite a percentage of business of new customers coming from that traditional channel. So my strategy is to gradually get out of that channel. However, that will take us a couple of quarters, moving out of that traditional channel. So right now what we are doing is we are optimizing the channels. We really reduced the channel from-- well, when I said channels it's really the bus station, airports etcetera, etcetera. So we are trying to reduce quite a number of traditional channels and shifting our expenditures to the customer loyalty program.
For example, the triple points program we just launched it in November for hotels and we also are going to continue that program for a while to really reward customers who continue to shop with us. Right now, because we have experimented in the past quarter with a different approach, for example, online marketing we have now gradually increased the efficiency of the online marketing.
Also in other areas of sales and marketing, we start to see that by geography, optimizing, that we could also better utilize our salesforce in the field and also make a better constructed deal with the websites business, that we also look at how to optimize that channel also.
So going forward is really a balanced approach of acquiring new customers and also how to gain the loyalty of our existing customers. Thank you.
Your next question comes from [Reid Abden – Brendon Madoff].
Reid Abden – Brendon Madoff
Can you talk about how long it's going to take to implement the new software platform? Can you talk about headcount for call centers, what it was last quarter, what it was this quarter and what do you expect it going to?
Henrik Kjellberg
On the platforms, we think there are different components to it. Some things we think we think can be implemented relatively quickly, which should have a consumer facing element to it, but there are some items which we think are going to take probably in the sort of 12 to 18 months to really and get the back end infrastructure as solid as we would like it to be. It doesn't mean that all changes are going to happen at the end of an 18 month period, but I think before we conclude it we're looking at a year, year-and-a-half.
In terms of the headcount, Chris, can you just go through where we were on headcount last quarter? I'm not sure we do predict headcount on a forecasting basis.
Chris Chan
No. We don't forecast on headcount. Our cost on headcount stayed pretty much the same as Q2 at around 950 people.
Your next question comes from Vik Mehta - J Goldman.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
First, with regard to your change in how you're going to be reporting revenues, if I understand correctly your guidance is 12% to 22%. Is that based on last year's net revenues as well?
Chris Chan
Correct. It's apples-to-apples net revenue basis.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
And then the Q3 that you're reporting right now, I haven't been able to go through the exact press release right now, but the Q3 that you're reporting right now that's on gross revenue?
Chris Chan
If you look at the financial statements it's been restated to report on a net basis, but we do have two exhibits on the back to show you the previous two quarter presentations using the net method and later on after the call we will be posting a 12-month basis restated statement for your convenience.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
Therefore then in Q4 your gross margins will automatically be moving up, assuming that the business stays the same as in Q3?
Chris Chan
Yes, correct. So this is all apples-to-apples basis.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
Can you give an apples-to-apples comparison of --I guess apples to apples is wrong -- but can you give us a sense of what your gross margins might look like in Q4 assuming you were to have a 74% gross margin the way you reported in Q3?
Chris Chan
Well, we don't comment on margin. So we only give revenue guidance and for this quarter the guidance will be on net revenue basis and the growth rate is also year-on-year on net revenue.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
Okay, but it's safe to assume that gross margins will move up in this transition? I'm just clarifying that.
Chris Chan
Once the number has been quantified we can pretty much tell the effect on the percent just from the formula. I think that would be a slight improvement to the percent because of the lower denominator number.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
The next question is with regard to your cash that presently sits in U.S. dollars. If I understand correctly with regards to acquisitions, you would be looking in China or other parts of Asia. Why would you keep the cash sitting in U.S. dollars, which appear to be depreciating on a daily basis?
Henrik Kjellberg
That's a good question and one that we discuss intensely at the board level and at the management level. We are reviewing options of where we want to keep the cash. I think we're getting refined in terms of our strategy where that cash will be needed. At this point we've concluded that we need to investigate a little bit further to determine what the best use of it is; but again, we're no strangers to the realities of the market and following the trajectory of the dollar. So we expect in the future to have a better answer as to where to actually place it.
I think at this point also we have judged it as a management team that we have more pressing matters than to focus solely on the cash. Although it is a financial impact on the company, we don't think it is of -- let's call it critical importance -- at this very quarter, given some of the other challenges we have. So all of the team right now is focused on improving customer service and are really getting the company back on track, so that's why it hasn't been at the forefront of our agenda.
As we get a lot of these things fixed and we are starting to make very good progress in some of these areas, the cash question will rise in terms of priority and by that time we expect to get back to investors with an answer on how that cash will be used.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
Okay, are there any other alternatives for cash besides acquisitions and share repurchase?
Henrik Kjellberg
Sure. I mean you could put it in currency baskets and there's a number of different hedging funds and hedging strategies that are out there in the market; but again, as you investigate these some are good and they all have pros and cons. So, yes, there are other options for the cash.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
Okay, my last question is with regard to your top line growth. Being that you're not burning cash, I mean there is an economic change in your cash position due to the remedy of the measure, but being that you're not burning cash why not accelerate even further your sales and marketing to then help drive your revenues even faster?
Henrik Kjellberg
Again, a good question. I think one of the things we did in Q3 was we started to accelerate some of the spend in sales and marketing, but we've also found that unless you match this with the customer experience in the call center that is as good as we would like it to be we're not creating the lasting impact on the consumers that we are really trying to do in this market, so we wanted to work in conjunction. As we see some of the improvements that we believe will happen in the consumer experience side as we upgrade the call center, then I think that's a very viable question. I'd like Guangfu to comment on that as well.
Guangfu Cui
I think Henrik has said it well. Basically, unless you earn the loyalty of the customers in China because in China the competition is really centered in a few players in the market, so consumers really look for the customer service to satisfy their choice of travel. So our focus right now will be the fundamentals, meaning that we will focus on know who the customer is and save their time so that we can really improve the experience of the customers. That's our current focus. Thank you.
Vik Mehta - J Goldman
The guidance, if I take the midpoint of your guidance for the next quarter at 17% year-over-year growth, should we use that as a benchmark for improvement from then on forward, as you are going to be increasing and keeping the sales and marketing figure up where it is?
Henrik Kjellberg
Let me comment on that. In the long term, is we believe the current growth rates and that's certainly one that we are not growing anywhere near to the potential of the company. In the immediate term we do think as we make some improvements we do expect that to have an impact on consumers, so that would sort of lead growth rates over time to up. However, as we're changing strategy I would also like to caution investors that there are some risks associated with our strategy. So the sort of the short-term I would say is probably less certain; it's harder to give an accurate guidance.
We're moving into new areas of marketing and as we're doing that, we're upgrading the call center. How quickly consumers will realize that this is happening it's hard to predict. There's no empirical data we can look back and model this on.
The long term we're very confident. Short to medium term I think the guidance number we've given gives an indication of where we think it is for Q4 and I don't want to at this point, I think as we give out the Q4 results we'll be in a better position and we'll also give guidance on '08. Correct, Chris?
Chris Chan
Yes. Correct.
Your next question comes from Jason Johnson – Aurora Investments.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
Going forward, as you look at the competitive landscape, could you comment what the vertical travel search engines have on those traditional travel online travel service like Ctrip and eLong? There is a travel search engine called [Qnar.com]. this is a new player on the landscape. What impact should we see down the road?
Henrik Kjellberg
That's a good question. I mean I worked on the Expedia side as well, so we've seen a number of these vertical search engines that are appearing in a number of markets. The general consensus across the globe if you wish is that these players are sort of niche players, that they certainly fill a role in the market.
As we look to China more specifically, there are a couple of players out there. However, in China the number of players such as ourselves are quite few, so it makes a vertical search engine I would say possibly less interesting than in a market where you have a large. You also have in China much less supplier direct at this point than you have in some of the more established markets.
So at this point, we think they probably fill a niche sort of function. We don't necessarily think they're material to our trajectory of where we're going or where we're not going. So they're a niche player. I think at this stage in China they probably fill less of a role than in some more mature markets where you have more players in the field we're in and also more supplier direct.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
But I noted that all the major players like all the big three China airlines -- Air China, China Southern, China Eastern -- they all put their products on [Qnar] and all the hotels like Marriot, Super 8, they sell their products online. They go direct. Will that impact your business down the road?
Henrik Kjellberg
Of course supplier direct in China will come and of course they are already selling their product direct. That's not news to me. I would say the quality of the product that is supplier direct and the incentives used by the supplier direct in China with in the U.S. or in the UK for example, I think there is still a gap. We're certain that the supplier direct element will increase in China. I mean these companies are very clever, very smart and it will come.
I think for us, which is one of the reasons we're really building on what Guangfu mentioned on creating a superb relationship with our consumers, have a really good customer call center. We need to build this up because over time competition in China is going to increase, not decrease. Certainly supplier direct will become a much more tangible element in the market.
How fast this will happen? We don't know yet. So yes, fully agree. I mean it's happening today and they're putting their product on. I don't know all of these players that they're using, but the question is how much is actually booked via them? That I would guess, I haven't seen any numbers but I would guess if you looked at the Air China report it's going to be less than for example a VA which in a short haul business is probably selling 60% to 70% of its business direct and not via travel agents.
Jason Johnson - Aurora Investments
My second question is about the Olympic impact. You know we have in China we'll host the Olympics next year. How much impact will that boost your revenue?
Henrik Kjellberg
On the Olympics we don't know what the impact will be. That might sound strange, but I've been through two other Olympics with Expedia and it's very hard to predict. Here's why. All the hotels are extremely bullish at this point, as they typically are eight or nine months ahead of the event on what's going to happen. What we've seen in other Olympics is as you get closer some of the rooms aren't actually filled and then they get more flexible and they want to work with you.
So it can work both in our favor because ADRs will be up during this month, but it can also work not in our favor if they're sold out. That very much depends on the level of demand that China is able to generate from across the globe with people coming to Beijing and then Hong Kong for the Olympics.
We do have plans in place and we're working already with hotels to establish how we can promote the Olympics and also finding cities around Beijing where we can host people as they come into the Olympics, but we don't have an actual number. We've assumed Olympics are neutral for us next year in order to be conservative.
There seem to be no more questions at the moment.
Henrik Kjellberg
Operator, I would then ask that we conclude the call.

We just moved LO to a mattress on the floor and she seems to like it except she somehow pushes herself forward in her sleep and hits her head on the wall :( I've been looking around on the internet for some easy soft headboard diy ideas but can't seem to find anything. Does anyone have any advice?
Also, did you find that your child sleeps better with a canopy? I am thinking about getting the leaf one from IKEA but not sure if it will end up being a distraction instead of helping her sleep.

|Storage Speak
Amy Campbell
Self-Storage Marketing: What We Can Learn From Super Bowl AdsThe Super Bowl is as famous for its creative and fun ads as it is the actual game. And while self-storage operators don't have multi-million-dollar marketing budgets like these advertisers, they do have one thing in common with these big-name companies—the chance to be super creative. Yes, it can be tough to find new and interesting ways to promote a self-storage business, but it can be done.
Self-Storage Aggregators: A Symptom of a Larger ProblemOver the last few weeks you've probably heard about the self-storage aggregator issue that has been burning through our industry. But aggregators are really just a symptom of a larger problem within the self-storage industry. The fact is, we're extremely slow when it comes to integrating new technology. This has left the self-storage industry vulnerable to outside interests.
Self-Storage Budgeting in 2012: Take the Time to Get it RightNow's the perfect opportunity to review your self-storage facility's financial position as we move into 2012. For some, this will be used only as a metric to gauge your facility's financial progression or regression. For others, budget planning is imperative for your facility's financial well-being in regards to a potential sale or refinance. The best way to improve on something is to track everything.
Self-Storage Collections: Making the Dreadful Task Successful ... and PleasantLet's face it, collections will likely never be a favorite part of a self-storage operator's job. Unfortunately, it's a must, much like cleaning gutters or enforcing the no-smoking rule. However, having a plan in place and developing collection skills can make the job a little less intimidating and lot more successful.
Self-Storage in the Holiday Spirit: A Look at Operators' Charitable ExperiencesWhile I've written about dozens of amazing charitable acts in the last few weeks, I wanted to share a few I found particularly special, plus one company's special holiday hello.
Whose Budget Is It? Including Staff When Developing Your 2012 Self-Storage BudgetPlanning your facility's 2012 budget? Are you asking your managers for input? If not, you should. Unless you get buy in from your management team, that piece of paper with the columns of numbers has really no meaning to them so how can you expect it to be achieved? ...
Celebrating the Season at Your Self-Storage Facility ... TastefullyOf course, everyone wants to have a good time during the holidays, but it all needs to be in good taste. That means everything from your self-storage facility's decorations to community or staff parties should be in line with your company's policies and everyday practices.

Companies collect and process large amounts of personal information about employees and customers and increasingly rely on the assistance of third parties with core functions. The consequences of a loss or inadvertent disclosure can be grave. Our cross-disciplinary team of attorneys helps clients around the world mitigate risk, respond in the event of a crisis, and recover.
Ballard Spahr's privacy and data security attorneys work closely with our clients, leveraging industry vendors when needed, to effectively map data, identify potential vulnerabilities, and draft protective compliance policies and procedures. When required, we stand ready to address network intrusions and respond to data breaches.
Day-to-Day Counsel and Information Risk Management: Our attorneys advise clients on privacy and security considerations in designing and implementing their products and services throughout their data life cycles. We conduct information asset inventories and asset mapping, design and execute comprehensive risk assessments, and help clients develop data security policies and programs that comply with federal and state laws and self-regulatory rules.
We also assist clients in preparing for third-party assessments and audits and design information governance plans. As part of our advice on corporate governance, we help formulate presentations on privacy and security issues and initiatives to clients' boards of directors and deploy training and awareness programs throughout their workforce. We also assist clients with drafting securities law disclosures relating to information risks and risk-management practices.
Transactions and Vendor Management: Engaging third-party vendors who have access to sensitive data or systems or acquiring an entity in the course of an M&A transaction adds privacy and security risks to a company. We help clients assess their vendors and target entities by conducting privacy and data security-specific legal due diligence and developing vendor risk management programs. Following the diligence process, we assist in drafting and negotiating the deal documents, handling post-closing issues, and monitoring compliance with the contract provisions.
Privacy and Consumer Marketing Compliance: The legal issues surrounding the collection and use of consumer information have expanded with the continuing evolution of mobile technology and the "Internet of Things" and with the increasingly global nature of business. Mobile and online marketing messages have been targeted based on online behavior and "big data" programs.
We draft and review consumer-facing disclosures and marketing materials. We also counsel clients on the collection and processing of information under international legal frameworks, like the EU Data Protection Directive and its implementing laws, as well as on privacy and data security issues arising from cross border transfers, including compliance with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework.
Data Incident Response Plan: Careful planning is the best way to ensure an efficient and defensible response to a data incident. To help clients prepare, we create Data Incident Response Plans — detailed blueprints allocating responsibilities for investigating and responding to a data incident among a cross-functional team. Ballard Spahr has established a 1-800 hotline number that enables clients to reach a team member any time they suspect that a data incident may have occurred. We also help clients assess cyber-insurance coverage to mitigate the impact of data incidents.
Network Intrusions and Data Breaches: In the event of an information security breach, we can quickly and effectively launch a comprehensive and tailored response under the protection of attorney-client privilege. We work with our clients' internal teams and external advisers to address and assess the situation and — if necessary — to notify and respond to consumers as well as state, federal, and international law enforcement and regulators.
Privacy Litigation and Investigations: Our team assists with pre-litigation planning, E-Discovery, intellectual property matters, contract analysis, insurance coverage issues, as well as governmental and internal investigations.
Often, regulatory investigations lead to or accompany private-party class action litigation involving privacy policy statements, consumer protection laws prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts, and the collection and disclosure of user information. We have handled federal criminal investigations into computer violations, cyberspying, and Internet fraud. And our attorneys are often called upon to conduct internal investigations and represent clients facing actual or threatened government enforcement.
Plan Assessment and Improvement: At the conclusion of the investigation, breach, and litigation, we work with the client to conduct a privacy impact assessment and to improve policies and procedures to address any faults exposed in the breach and become better prepared going forward.

Taking a "sick"day when a new game you're excited about comes out is one thing (I don't do it but can understand one day). But taking a week off and not caring about getting fired because Obama will take care of your lazy ass pisses me off. I work my ass off everyday and it pisses me off to see people just collecting checks as long as they can while my taxes help pay for their lack of motivation to get up off the couch and contribute to society. YOU (and people like you) are what is wrong with the economy.

Other than that, leveling to max never meant much...just that you have access to everything.
The sad part is it doesn't even mean that anymore, which is completely stupid. The whole "Unlock Token" system is terrible. When you reach 55, you should have enough tokens to unlock every single thing in the game. You shouldn't have to wait until 10th prestige to do so(or be forced to prestige if you've used all of your unlock tokens and want to use something that's not unlocked).
I really miss the COD point system... COD points were awesome, even though the system wasn't perfect. I just enjoyed it a lot more. And wager matches were awesome... actually being able to put something on the line for a risk/reward factor.

In Brief: Canadian couple killed in Mexico retirement city
Retired Canadian couple killed in Mexico
MEXICO CITY -- Officials in Mexico said a Canadian couple was killed in an apparent robbery at their lakeside home in a popular retirement spot for U.S. and Canadian citizens.
Chapala city spokesman Roberto Arroyo said Monday the couple was found by their gardener in a pool of blood in the living room of the house where they'd lived for at least six months.
Arroyo said robbery is the main motive behind the Sunday attack on the pair, both in their mid-70s. Some belongings were stolen, including a TV and an SUV.
He said the man was beaten on the head with a small statue and the woman was stabbed in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Their identities were not released.
Truce extended in Syria city; residents evacuate
BEIRUT -- Aid officials rushed to evacuate more women, children and elderly from rebel-held areas that have been blockaded by government troops for more than a year in Syria's third-largest city, Homs, after a U.N.-brokered cease-fire in the city was renewed for three more days Monday.
The truce, which began Friday, has been shaken by continued shelling and shooting that prevented some residents from escaping and limited the amount of food aid officials have been able to deliver into the besieged neighborhoods.
U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos sharply criticized the two sides, saying U.N. and Syrian Red Crescent workers were "deliberately targeted."
Ukraine's former leader wants better treatment
KIEV, Russia -- The daughter of Ukraine's imprisoned former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said a court is set to consider a defense appeal on her request to ease conditions in custody.
Eugenia Tymoshenko said Monday that her mother wants permission to use a cell phone and to take walks outside.
A court in the eastern city of Kharkiv, where Tymoshenko is serving her sentence, is to consider the appeal today.
The European Union has condemned the jailing of Tymoshenko as political and urged Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to free her.

These are very angry people who are becoming more and more belligerent with every new relative or friend who is mercilessly and futilely perishing.

Over the summer, Plain White T's guitarist Tim Lopez took a step back from the stage to search for his soulmate on Ready for Love. The reality show, premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. on NBC, has matchmakers pairing prospective partners with one of three bachelors.
While the identity of the woman he chose is under wraps, Lopez admits he did pen a song about his love, featured on the band's new EP, Should've Gone to Bed.
"These four songs are just taken from our personal lives – one of which is inspired by a girl I met on the show," Lopez, 32, tells PEOPLE.

This is amazing...
Posters arguing about high & low % shots:
As if we haven't had front row seats to the chuck fest in prior games. Keeping it simple (for all my non-ball players), do you recall games when we shot 30+ 3's? Do you recall how up and down we were; how even when we made them at high %'s we lost...recall? It was not an anomaly. We know this because a) it has happened frequently in the past b) it continued although we were struggling.
That was coaching!
Players right under our noses:
Please recall Anthony Randolph, Marbury, and Mozgov (to name a few). What do they have in common? They all had talent, all had what we lacked, all over-looked. Recall Mozgov in particular. Remember why he got extended minutes. Remember what our defensive ratings were, rebound rankings, and the toll it took on players like Stat forced to play out-of-position.
Mozgov like Lin are PROOF that Mike sold you guys a bill of goods, yet had no clue. If he did, those instances wouldn't be. This is furthered by the fact that Mike overlooked many quality draft picks. Hard to be an offensive genius when you are a novice talent evaluator.
Jeremy Lin:
The statistics say, since Lin we have increased our scoring, increased our scoring in the paint (high %), gotten Tyson involved more and shot way less threes.
Because of the FACTS listed above (high vs low % shots, inaccurate talent evaluation) there is too much evidence that leads to the conclusion that coach is not what he seems.
We had trouble playing fundamentally sound; poor passing, poor defense, unable to exploit our strengths. Forcing and making poor decisions like Toney Douglas' minutes, 40+ three pointer, neglecting minutes for viable big man options in Jerome Jordan in favor of small line-ups...
Until a player came/played that superseded this. Like Chauncey Billups, Lin knows ball, knows how to play inside out. It was because of him and him alone that we are finally winning by playing fundamentally sound. Drive and kick, reduce the threes, draw fouls.
1. Clueless and really have not watched the games or
2. In denile
That being said, I am still willing to give coach some credit. But I know the deal. Its evident and obvious. If coach were who some make him out to be, we wouldn't be here having this discussion.
The lucky, fortunate ascention of Jeremry Lin is what we can attribute this rise toward. His fundamentally sound style has superseded coach's philosophical approach. To think any different is Linsane.
Sabermetrics can't tell me what my eyes and years of observation can. We are winning inspite of D'Antoni, not because of.

NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Forget the chalupa, just "Drop the Chihuahua."
That's what Sandy Parks shrieked when an injured red-tailed hawk dug its talons into Bandita, a 6-pound spitting image of the Taco Bell commercials' talking Chihuahua.
The hawk burst from a neighbor's bushes Monday and grabbed little Bandita, only to find itself in a tug-of-war with Parks, who was hanging onto the other end of a 5-foot leash.
"Here I am, yelling 'Drop the Chihuahua! Drop the Chihuahua!" said Parks, 61. "I am surprised I didn't scare the hawk away. I had no idea they had that much tenacity. I've been hungry before, but I've never held onto food that much."
Parks said she yanked on the leash and slammed the 2.6-pound bird into a wall. The hawk dropped, but kept its talons in Bandita, so Parks said she stomped on the bird, then slammed a door on its legs before it finally let go.
She left the hawk and rushed Bandita to the Niceville Animal Clinic where the dog's puncture wounds were treated.
Audubon Society members later brought in the hawk.
A veterinarian said the hawk suffered a broken feather in its battle with Parks, but it also had a previously broken wing that was still healing, clinic receptionist Laura Lassiter said Wednesday. The hawk weighed about half of what a bird with a 5-foot wingspan should, and its injury was probably why it attacked a pet.
The hawk will remain at the clinic for about six weeks while it recuperates, Lassiter said.
As for Bandita, she was sent home, but not before her owner was given a lecture about the illegality of battering birds protected by federal migratory bird laws.

The scene: a Saturday afternoon in December. A Santa appears in the frame, walking through Old City. Muscular and tall, not your usual Santa, but, OK, you can deal with a slender Santa.
Then a short, blond guy Santa appears in Rittenhouse Square. Then a goateed African American Santa, similarly appointed in the usual red-and-white fur, materializes in Washington Square. Two redheaded women, decked in Santa gear, appear in University City and the Italian Market.
That's when you realize: You're in the middle of the Running of the Santas, a Philly-originated tradition (created 1998) in which Kris Kringle-suited men and women barhop in the name of holiday revelry, good fellowship, and a daylong, boozy buzz. Running of the Santas has become a worldwide phenomenon, with 20-plus host cities running with white beards and high-buckle boots.

Skip to comments.Suggestions for a 72 hour kit
Posted on 02/11/2003 8:58:10 AM PST by Utah Girl
Since the alert level is now high, and there have been many articles and TV blurps about preparedness, I thought I would post suggestions for a 72 hour kit. I keep mine in my front hall closet of my home.
A lot of the stuff was lying around the house, I didn't buy hardly anything new. I did buy a solar, battery operated radio from Radio Shack for ten dollars. Here is the total list in one spot. I probably spent under 25 dollars for my kit, but I am single without children. The most money was buying the stuff for the first aid kit. One extra thing I threw in the first aid kit is four sanitray napkins. They work really well for compressing against a bleeding wound that needs to be staunched. I also store my sleeping bag and blanket right next to the 72 hour kit. I still use the sleeping bag when I go camping, so I didn't buy another one.
This 72 hour kit should meet the needs of your family. Use ready to eat foods your family will eat and hobbies and entertainment your family likes to do. Include individual medication as required by your family members. Whatever container is used should be portable. I use two duffel bags.
We have a 4 ft Iquana and I have always maintained we could eat him in an emergency. Except on the show "Cooks Tour" on the food network the chef whose eaten about every horrible thing imaginable said that the Iquana was the worse.
A 0.1% solution of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) will go a long way towards decontaminating most chemical warfare agents. In an emergency, after cutting clothing away, rinse and blot the patient's skin with the hypochlorite solution.
The two cats got plenty of ScienceDiet. Gas tank is always filled on the Z28... topo maps in the door pocket.
FEDS and cops don't have the manpower to road-block every junction. (wink!)
I had a room sized electrostatic air cleaner when Mt. St. Helens blew up, and it was a lifesaver. An evaporative cooler is a great air-scrubber also, but like the electronic, worthless in a power failure . . .
BTW -- All my suggestions have been personally tested on yours truly -- except the kidnapping, of course.
Johnny 7, you did that too eh? I felt that if i wasn't prepared, my kids could have suffered..so just in case I did buy extra supplies and water. What if something did happen..I might not have been able to take care of the kiddos. WHile it was pathetic that the rumors caused some people to spend way too much money..I'm glad it made me aware of "being prepared" for emergencies. Of course our big ice storm confirmed that notion.
That takes all the fun out of it.
arm958 responded: It's not a stupid question. After all, you can't eat them if they've been contaminated.
LOL........I think it deserves a laugh anyway. Thanks for the good chuckle. ;)
The list contains things we should have at the ready anyway. We all are too complacent about things happening and take so much in our lives for granted.
I live a short distance from where most of the space shuttle came down and until that happened we had never thought about the danger of pieces of metal the size of a car coming from the sky. Certainly a miracle that no one on the ground was hurt when you consider the number of pieces.
Just add MSG and they taste just like chinese food.
and are they significantly cheaper than rifles available at, say, Bass Pro Shop
I can't answer the question about the BassPro because they carry a wide range of stuff some cheaper and some not. My guess is that an AR-15 variation will be fairly expensive and an AK variant considerably less so.
AK ammo used to be the cheapest center fire ammo you could get. Don't know these days. Last I looked, large capacity mags were available for both though at a considerable premium over what they were a few years ago (Thank you Sara Brady may you rot in hell forever).
About the shot gun most assuredly not for a LOT of reasons. IF you are in the soup, you want a firearm that was designed for combat. M-16/AR15 and AK47/AKM both fit the bill. Range, weight of ammo (combat load), reliability, recoil, firepower, cost of ammo, just to name a few.
Jumping in... It's nice to have the AK/SKS/AR-15 or what ever bolt action Main Battle Rifle around if the entire world goes to h*ll in a handbasket. Nobody will think twice about seeing anyone so armed in such an environment. But what if it only goes halfway to h*ll?
In a situation that is most likely to occur someone with an AK on his back will draw cops like flies. One should also consider a lower level of need for firearms and take a look at these:
Of the two, I like the M6 best. No jamming a single shot, and the added benefit of a shotgun/22 combo is nice. The Henry is VERY light, but needs a good break in period to stop the occasional jam. Both can be carried in a pack broken down and nobody has to know you have them.
There is also the of saw about the best way to survive a fight is to not get into one. I think many of us feel "braver" when we have the firepower, and these aren't that good for self defence. I have a decent 6" revolver & holster for that.
"bImejDI' reH betleHlIj yItlhap" (Never leave home without your bat'telh.)
This may seem to be a stupid question but I am looking to purchase a gun and was wondering if anyone knew what the age limit was in Illinois. I'm assuming it is either 18 or 21, I'm 20 so I'm right in between.
RRR 599 OM. CUL ES 73 DE KØVJ dit di-di-dit dit
Is it a .38, or a .357? What's the model? What's the frame made of? What's the barrel length?
One of the best self protection loads is the "FBI load," which I believe is a +P 125gr HP.
Tobacco can be placed in serious wounds ---chemicals in the tobacco will help clot the blood.
Booze of course has many uses --pain killer and steralizing, among other things.
Black would be advantageous. You could see if any anthrax spores had collected on the surface.
We are told to get a certain kind of plastic and duct tape for sealing in a "safe room"....here is the question or fact.
Isn't this true ? Duct taping windows and doors with plastic ..no matter what kind of plastic..will do NO GOOD....you need AIR to breathe...if you tape everything up tight...you won't last..you need air to breathe
. Sealing yourself up..is like getting the best garbage bag....put that over your head and tie it tight around your neck...how long are you going to last ?

Larry Drew to help Larry Sanders get back on track
St. Francis — A nightmarish start to the season — on and off the court — has Larry Sanders looking to push the reset button.
And the Milwaukee Bucks center must move forward from a troubling off-court altercation that occurred early Sunday morning at Apartment 720, a downtown Milwaukee nightclub.
Bucks coach Larry Drew said Thursday he is prepared to help his 24-year-old center take positive steps in the aftermath of the incident, which left one of the club patrons with eight stitches above his eye, according to a lawyer's statement.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office reviewed the incident and confirmed Sanders' participation but said no criminal charges will be issued to anyone involved. The Milwaukee police department said it is still investigating the incident and could issue municipal citations.
"Me as a coach, his teammates, the organization, everybody that's a part of his life, we want to help him to move forward," Drew said. "Hopefully he'll learn from this incident, he can put it behind him and we can march on."
Drew has tried to mentor Sanders, 24, since arriving in the summer as the Bucks' new coach. Sanders, who signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension in the off-season, often has struggled with controlling his emotions on the court.
And Sanders failed to make an impact in the first three games of the season as the Bucks launched their new-look team. Sanders was a centerpiece of the Bucks' marketing efforts during the off-season as management tried to reshape the team and brighten an image dampened by squabbling at the end of last season.
On Saturday night the 6-foot-11 Sanders played just 6 minutes in the second half and not at all in the fourth quarter of a home-opening loss to Toronto.
Then, a few hours later, came the off-court incident at the nightclub.
"And I will continue to be that little birdie on his shoulder, not just for him but for all the guys," Drew said. "It's unfortunate that the incident did happen. But again, he has to learn from it. I really believe that he will. At least I hope that he will.
"First of all, life is just too short. We, meaning those who are in the public eye, have to be aware of a lot of things. We have to not put ourselves in certain positions. And in my conversation with him, it was one of the first things he said about the entire situation, that he should have never put himself in that position.
"That was what he told me. So hopefully he will learn from it."
Sanders worked on the side during Thursday's practice and had his right thumb in a splint. Drew said the injury occurred during Saturday's game.
Sanders was not available for comment Thursday.
Bucks guard Brandon Knight said, "I don't know what happened, so I can't comment on it. I support Larry through anything."
On the Bucks injury front, Drew said Knight was able to take part in practice, but the Bucks held a very light workout Thursday. Veteran point guard Luke Ridnour also is making some progress with his back issue, but Drew said he doubted Ridnour would be available Saturday night against Dallas.
Forward Ersan Ilyasova (sprained right ankle) was a late scratch for Wednesday's victory over Cleveland and was replaced in the starting lineup by John Henson.
Knight is out with a strained right hamstring suffered in the season opener against New York on Oct. 30, and Ridnour has not played in the regular season due to back spasms.
"Brandon actually participated in this practice today," Drew said. "Still we will not know when he will be back until he can get through an entire practice. That will be the measuring stick."
Drew said forward Caron Butler, who tipped in the go-ahead basket in the final minute of the Bucks' 109-104 victory over Cleveland, missed practice due to a personal matter.
Guard-forward Carlos Delfino was out of his walking boot in the locker room Wednesday night and was smiling. The veteran from Argentina is still healing from surgery performed on a broken bone in his right foot, an injury sustained during the playoffs last season when he was with the Houston Rockets.
"I know he did see another doctor," Drew said. "I was in the locker room and saw him sitting there with his sneakers on, and they were actually laced up.
"I hope things go well at his doctors' meetings. I think the next step is just to make sure the foot has healed. Then he's going to have to go through continued rehab and therapy. And then he's got to get it strong. I think he still has a ways to go."

Head coach Dan Hawkins said Monday there had been a couple of team meetings since freshman Lynn Katoa and sophomore Riar Geer were taken into police custody Friday for their alleged involvement in unrelated off-campus fights. Both players are suspended from the team indefinitely. Neither is participating in spring ball, which began Monday.
After Hawkins addressed the team Sunday, the players held a closed-door meeting of their own.
"We needed to air out some stuff as a team, make sure everyone's on the same page," said rising senior defensive tackle George Hypolite on Monday.
Fifth-year senior Ryan Walters took a leadership role in the players meeting. Among the things addressed was the need for players to understand their role in the community as Colorado football players. With the privilege to play comes the responsibility to conduct yourself in a higher manner than perhaps other students at CU.
Walters said Monday, sometimes that means walking away from trouble if and when it arises.
Hypolite said team members talked about what it means to be a player on the CU football team, too.
"(We need to) make sure as a team we know what we want to represent ourselves as, what we want to do to represent this university, the community, our coaches, and what we need to do to keep up that high standard," Hypolite said. "We represent the University of Colorado at large, and a lot of times, the state of Colorado at large. We have to carry ourselves in a certain manner."
Asked about what he said to his players when he addressed the recent arrests, Hawkins said, "My football programs have always been about aspiring to have that magical experience — all of that is and what that's worth. And then understanding that for that to happen in your life, you have to be abnormal. You have to think different, you have to act different and you have to respond differently.
"We have to rise up to that call."

Center fielder Brandon Nimmo remained in extended spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla., when fellow Mets minor leaguers broke camp in early April, bound for the organization's four full-season affiliates -- Buffalo, Binghamton, St. Lucie and Savannah.
Truth be told, Nimmo -- the 13th overall pick in the 2011 draft -- was at least mildly disappointed at being left behind at the organization's Florida complex.
"Obviously you have those high expectations that you set for yourself that you want to break with a [full-season] team," said Nimmo, a righty-throwing, lefty-hitting center fielder. "You don't want to lie to yourself. It's a little bit of a letdown when you don't break with the team, because that's what you're working for that whole offseason -- to break with a team out of spring training and get the season started.Courtesy of New York Mets
Brandon Nimmo
"But extended [spring training] did a lot of good for me. You don't have to be under the spotlight, having to get results at a long-season team. The guys in the front office, they've been doing this a lot longer than I have. So they know what needs to happen. Now, looking back on it, it was good -- what I needed -- and now we can move forward."
From when he reported in late February to Port St. Lucie for a camp for top prospects until joining the Brooklyn Cyclones for Monday's New York-Penn League season opener, Nimmo nearly exclusively had been practicing at the Mets' Florida complex. The exception: Nimmo, 19, did get a two-day visit with his family in Cheyenne, Wyo., early this month.
Nimmo was not alone in waiting until June to begin his first full professional season.
Of the 32 high school players drafted in the first round in 2011, including supplemental picks:
• Fourteen were assigned to full-season minor league teams out of spring training, or shortly thereafter.
• Two joined full-season teams in late May.
• Fourteen, including Nimmo, did not appear for full-season clubs at all.
• Two never signed.
Through two games with the Cyclones, a home-and-home matchup with the Yankees, Nimmo is 1-for-6 with three walks.
"It's been definitely a long time. I think the last game I actually played for people was back in the beginning of September last year," Nimmo said. "And that was only three games [with Kingsport]. This is definitely a big change -- one that I've been waiting for a while to get after. I love the feeling of playing in front of people, that competition and actually playing for a championship that has meaning in a season. I thrive off of that stuff, as every athlete does. It's great to be back in that atmosphere."
After signing for $2.1 million, Nimmo hit .241 with two homers, four RBIs, three walks and nine strikeouts in 32 plate appearances in the Gulf Coast League. He then made the Appalachian League cameo with Kingsport.
How has he improved in the past year?
"I think just overall playing the game -- thinking things through," Nimmo said. "It's a lot of the mental stuff. They draft you because you have tools to play. Then you've got to go through the mental part. You think you know the game, but you really don't. I still don't know it as well as I need to. It's really thinking a couple of steps ahead what's going on, knowing what to do so you can just react when the stuff happens, going up with the right approach, studying pitchers. There's a lot of mental things that you have to learn that I think I've gotten a lot better at."
Before departing Port St. Lucie for Coney Island, Nimmo met 2012 first-round pick Gavin Cecchini, a high school shortstop from Louisiana.
"I got to talk to him for a while," Nimmo said. "He's a great kid. I've got nothing but good stuff to say about him. He can play. And he's got good character."
Nimmo said it is hard to believe it has been a full year since he was the new draftee, the one in Cecchini's shoes.
"When I realized that the [2012] draft was coming up, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, it's already been a year since the draft,'" Nimmo said. "Time has been flying by. I didn't even know the draft was coming up. I thought about it, and thought about everything that's happened in the past year, and was like, 'Oh, my goodness. That's a lot of stuff in the past year.'
"Yeah, I'm starting to get a little older," Nimmo continued with a laugh. "I'm not the new kid on the block anymore. Everyone has been giving me [ribbing] for that. 'You're not the baby anymore.' Definitely the year has been going by fast. But there's been a lot of learning. I've got a year of baseball under my belt and I'm better for it."

So where does the Amazing Johnathan fit into the Krave nightclub/Harmon Theater's planned move downtown?
At one end of Fremont Street or the other, apparently.
The comedy magician says Krave owner Kelly Murphy has offered him room in the downtown part of Neonopolis that once housed Jillian's and a movie multiplex. Some of the former movie theaters will be converted to live venues, and Johnathan says one can be his if he wants it.
Murphy plans to bail out of the Harmon building — which is confusingly attached to the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood and now obscured from the Strip by a new drug store building — and consolidate Krave with his new Drink and Drag, already open in the downtown location.
(For full story on Krave move go to http://www.lvrj.com/business/krave-entertainment-headed-for-downtown-las-vegas-163746026.html)
But whether the Amazing one moves downtown or finds another venue on the Strip, Johnathan says he will be opening a two-story haunted house inside a dormant area of the Las Vegas Club.
If you've ever been to one of his annual Halloween parties that seem to get bigger and crazier every year, you know he can deliver in the haunted maze department. He plans to round off the experience with a bar and nightclub — and have it all open by Oct. 4.
Depending on the Halloween business, the haunted area could become a year-round attraction. "The only thing that would stop it is if Halloween is a bust," he says.
In one of those only-in-Vegas ironies: That new Walgreens building that made life even tougher for the Krave/Harmon operation? It's set to house the Goretorium, another haunted attraction financed by filmmaker Eli Roth.
Amazing Johnathan works both ends of Fremont Street?
So where does the Amazing Johnathan fit into the Krave nightclub/Harmon Theater's planned move downtown?
