'Modern Family' Recap: Strangers On A Treadmill
S02E04: We got another basic Modern Family episode last night. And I think there is nothing wrong with that. The episode was hilarious and if someone needed an example of what this show was about and wanted to know if it were funny or not, this is the perfect example. It had everything: Cam getting his feelings hurt, Claire being embarrassed by Phil, and Gloria trying to get Jay to connect with her people. We've seen this all before, but it was hilarious as always so it gets a pass. But that's not what I want to talk about. But I have to recap it first so let's get that out of the way first.
Mitchell and Claire are in similar boats. They both want to tell their partners something but their partners are so sensitive about the subject that they chicken out. So Mitchell and Claire get the other to do their dirty work for them. Claire gets to tell Cam that he shouldn't wear bike shorts (which he has taken to wearing constantly with his new desire to exercise) and Mitchell gets to tell Phil that he isn't funny (as he prepares to be the emcee at SCARB [Southern California Annual Relators Banquet {but you knew that already}]). Claire and Mitchell both chicken out so it leaves them to deal with their own messes.
Mitchell confronts Cam about the biker shorts after a few tantrums from Cam. And I don't like to cry at other people's misfortunes (slightly not true) but Cam's cries from the bedroom where absolutely hysterical. Cam fires back that he doesn't like Mitchell's beard which prompts Mitchell to almost shave it off. Cam stops his almost in time (Mitchell gets a notch cut off before Cam steps in) and they make up in the uber sugary lovey dovey way they always do. Ugh. Romance.
It should also be noted that Eric Stonestreet absolutely killed it with two bits this episode. The first was when Mitchell gave him the wrong look when he picked up an apple and then silently dumped the whole tray on the floor. That look of pure "screw you" was perfect. The second bit was when he told Mitchell to tell Claire to stick to what she does best, "overcook salmon." That delivery was spot on. But also in Claire's defense, salmon is a really hard fish to cook; it's so fickle. But we all knew that.
Claire still tries to save Phil by stealing his cards from his pockets. Phil gets nervous, much like the Jonas brothers (even Kevin, who you think would be a rock, but especially Kevin) and tries to play the straight man. But Phil Dunphy is no straight man and before too long the whole room is in stitches. I want Phil to emcee every event I'm at from now on. And I don't mean Ty Burrell, I mean the character Phil. Phil is awesome. What do you mean imaginary? You just made that word up.
The Jay and Gloria story was rather weak. Gloria chastises Jay about not doing something else Columbian/Hispanic/Not White and Jay eventually gives in and goes to this party. He pretends to know everyone there even though it turns out they weren't even in the right party. Rather slow and cumbersome when the other stories were so fun. Manny saved the day, of course. He frees up some space on the DVR by watching the two hour Antique Road Show and pops out to chastise Jay at sporadic moments. Unfortunately he wasn't used as much at the dance which really brought the whole thing down.
But now we finally get to what I wanted to talk about. The Dunphy children. I don't know of any other fictional children that are more perfect and funny. Three things from this episode really stood out for me in this episode. The first was with Alex and Haley's story. Haley tries to teach Alex the ways of the popular and Alex catches on fast. When she puts the new cool girl McKenzy (also can we get a more 00's name?) in her place, it almost brings Haley to tears when she realizes "I have a sister." So funny. But when Alex gets ahead of herself and ruins everything and the whole plan completely dissolves into chaos, the only thing they can do is throw the phone on the floor and scream. It was simple. It was pure. It was hilarious.
Then there was Luke. Oh Luke, you poor, innocent, little child. You are so dumb, my lord you are so funny. His troubling news about the Jonas Brothers to his dad? Spot on. The way he laughs at everything? I can't stand it. It's like he doesn't even get it, he just laughs. Come to think of it, I used to laugh at everything when I was a kid just to make my parents think I got the jokes. But I'm not an idiot. Luke is though. Is there potential for Luke to wisen up? I sure hope not. Then we might not get pure absolute comedy diamonds like his line "those guys…" Those two words sent me in to such fits of laughter I had to pause the television (ok, not really, but I did rewind it to see if I missed something). I don't know how he got that delivery down, but if I had a .gif of him saying that I wouldn't stop. It was that funny.
So yes, it was a great episode. Very solid, very funny. Hopefully they won't wear this formula out and let it get stale. They'll need to shake things up if they want it keep being one of the funniest shows on television, but for the moment I'm perfectly content.


text: 000 FXUS63 KFSD 260805 AFDFSD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 305 AM CDT MON SEP 26 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) Issued at 305 AM CDT Mon Sep 26 2016 A pleasant, albeit breezy, early fall day in store across the area. An axis of surface high pressure will extend from the Northern Rockies into the Central Plains, while surface low pressure over southern Canada will drift into the western Great Lakes region by afternoon. This will result in a decent gradient over our area, most pronounced from east central SD/southwestern MN into northwestern IA, where mixed layer winds will average around 30 kts in the afternoon. Skies will be mostly clear during the day, though cannot rule out some cumulus development through the Missouri River corridor as low/mid level moisture slides through that area. Thermal profiles warm just a tad over yesterday, and looking at highs in the mid 60s through east central SD and southwestern MN to lower 70s through the James River Valley/Missouri River corridor. Tonight, northwesterly winds will drop off in the early evening, becoming light overnight. This in combination with mostly clear skies will result in optimal cooling, and lows will drop to around 40 over much of the CWA, with some mid 40s through south central SD. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 305 AM CDT Mon Sep 26 2016 Much of the medium and extended range looks to be settling in on quiet times, in proximity to upper-level ridge between closed low across the Great Lakes area and trough through the western U.S.. One subtle change from yesterday deals with the trough to the east, which now wraps up a bit more westward as lobe wraps southward across Wisconsin early Wednesday, and is more sluggish in gradual eastward drift. With a greater influence of this feature on Wednesday, there appears to be a stronger westward push to stratus field behind upper low which should have a fairly easy path westward toward sub-850 hPa ridge axis as gradually works to dissipate on western flank with mixing/subsidence on Wednesday. Am quite leery of this pattern, especially given model trends over last 24 hours, as one which will end up with a lot more persistence to clouds in the Wed./early Thu. time frame. As a result, warmer day could easily end up being Tuesday in the intermediate term, as even cooler air undercuts on north/northeast low-level flow for Wednesday and warming finds difficult path on Thursday with low-level ridge trapped in place across the mid/eastern CWA. As far as numbers go, mainly upper 60s to mid 70s on Tuesday with 4-7 degrees cooling, greatest east, on Wednesday. A couple degrees of moderation on Thursday, and a shade more on Friday would appear all fairly stagnant pattern can attain, even as try to get strengthening south/southeast flow by Friday across SD CWA. Lows will mainly be in the 40s, although some spotty upper 30s near the mid James to Big Sioux valley areas will be possible Tue night. As air mass moistens a slight bit and get start of the southerly return flow, should see some lower 50s return. The start of the weekend will be dry as features struggle to displace the sharp but narrowing upper ridge. A tighter surface gradient will become more prevalent as pressure fall in the western plains, with stronger southerly flow bringing seasonally mild temperatures with highs in the 70s and lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s. In all likelihood, will take until sometime Sunday at the earliest to get enough lift forcing to support a chance of showers and thunderstorms as trough pushes across the central and northern Rockies. Better chance for rainfall will likely spread across the area Sunday night and Monday with passage of cold front. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1055 PM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016 Gusty northwest winds are expected to develop again after 15Z Monday, with winds again diminishing toward sunset Monday evening.

Why are the value and cash flows of levered equity less than if the firm had issued unlevered equity?
Solutions for Chapter 14.1
Why are the value and cash flows of levered equity less than if the firm had issued unlevered equity?
Value and cash flow of levered equity (equity of a firm which has debt) will be lesser than unlevered equity (equity of a firm with no debt). The available net income after taxes entirely belongs to the equity shareholders in case of unlevered equity. In case of levered firm, a portion of amount will be paid towards the interest commitment and the remaining amount will be taxed. The amount available after the taxes is entirely available to the equity shareholders. But this amount will be less than the unlevered amount because there is no interest deduction in the earnings of the firm.
Similarly, irrespective of the economic condition, the amount paid towards the debt will be the same only the earnings of the equity shareholders will differ with the economic condition. The preference of equity holders becomes secondary in case of levered firm where as it is primary in case of unlevered. Thus, because of the interest payment irrespective of the economic condition and more preference given to debt holders and their commitments, the value and the cash flow of levered equity is lesser than the unlevered equity.

Monday sees the first Raw of 2014 being aired, and it promises to be a special one, as it is "Old School Raw."
That means we will be treated to a whole host of cameo appearances from some superb WWE stars from days gone by and hopefully will see a continuation of some storyline developments to boot.
It is just under three weeks until the Royal Rumble pay-per-view—and there are only two more editions of Raw before Batista returns on Jan. 20.
Let's take a look at what we can expect from the forthcoming edition of Raw.

Over 700,000 people tell ...
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee meets t...
Corporate-controlled, chemical intensive industrial food production is increasingly harmful to people and the planet, contributing to hunger, disease, poverty and severe environmental damage. Simultaneously, this "too big to fail" system leaves us vulnerable to climate chaos and other disruptions which threaten food security and our ability to feed growing populations.
Friends of the Earth's Food and Technology Program is working to rapidly transition our food system to one that is sustainable, regenerative, healthy and just -- the food system of the future. We carry out market and policy campaigns aimed at protecting pollinators, reforming animal agriculture and reducing the harmful environmental, health and social impacts of industrial agriculture and while advocating for local, just, humane, organic, climate-resilient agro-ecological food production. We also work to ensure the safe and precautionary management of chemicals and emerging technologies.
One out of three bites of food and two-thirds of crops overall are pollinated by bees. Unfortunately, bees are dying at alarming rates around the world. A growing body of science has implicated neonicotinoids (neonics), the world's best-selling class of pesticides, as a key contributor to this global crisis. What's worse, these pesticides are commonly found in "bee-friendly" home garden plants and in off-the-shelf garden products sold at garden centers nationwide.
The science is clear -- a diet with less meat and more plant-based, organically grown, unprocessed foods is better for our health and better for the planet. Our Good Food, Healthy Planet campaign aims to dramatically reduce consumption of animal products, while increasing access to and availability of sustainable animal and plant-based proteins on restaurant menus and supermarket shelves. We also advocate for better policies to reduce the harmful environmental, animal welfare, worker and public health impacts of industrial agriculture and push for greater public investment in more sustainable food production.
We are pushing for proper government oversight of synthetic biology -- a largely unregulated and rapidly developing biotechnology that involves engineering new organisms from scratch.
Synbio vanilla: A new ingredient straight out of a petri dish is about to enter the global food supply in many of our favorite foods from ice cream to birthday cake.
We are working to keep genetically engineered "frankenfish" -- which would be the first genetically engineered animal approved for human consumption -- off of grocery store shelves.
We advocate for policies to protect the public from the risks posed by the increasing use of nanomaterials in cosmetics, sunscreens and a plethora of other consumer products.
Emerging biotechnologies are enabling researchers and corporations to control and manipulate the basic building blocks of life. The impacts of these technologies are already rippling through society, as corporations patent our genes and those of other organisms. Some of these techniques have also brought the prospect of genetically engineered humans closer to reality.
We advocate for explicit and expansive public engagement on the human applications of synthetic biology, including and going beyond safety thresholds and addressing the social and ethical concerns. We want to see an ongoing, transparent, democratic process with which to evaluate and appropriately regulate new, emerging and proposed human applications of synthetic biology.

CBNNews.com - DAMASCUS - Hezollah spiritual leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his group welcomed the criticism of US President George W. Bush, calling him a "terrorist leader."
"Every resistance movement in the world should be proud to take criticism from world terrorist leaders like and his cadre," read a statement by Sheikh Nasrallah.
"Bush's comments are proof that the Lebanese resistance movement is on the right track," he said.
Nasrallah's remarks followed the President's speech April 17, marking the 1983 terror attack on the US Embassy in Beirut.
"Since the Beirut attack, we and citizens of many countries have suffered more attacks at the hands of Hezbollah and other terrorists, backed by the regimes in Teheran and Damascus, which use terror and violence against innocent civilians," Bush said.
"All nations should condemn such brutal attacks and recognize that the purposeful targeting of civilians is immoral and unjustifiable," he said.

Planned Parenthood won't remove ad targeting Sen. Mike Ellis
Madison — Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin has slightly altered an ad targeting state Senate President Mike Ellis but has refused to remove it from its website and plans to run it on Green Bay television next week.
Planned Parenthood last week released the ad showing the Neenah Republican angrily banging his gavel and yelling at Democrats to sit down during a contentious Senate debate on a bill requiring doctors who perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges.
The WisconsinEye Public Affairs Network quickly sent a letter to Planned Parenthood demanding that it take down the ad because it said its footage had been improperly used.
WisconsinEye is a nonprofit group that broadcasts all the proceedings of the Legislature online and on cable. Planned Parenthood purchased the footage and signed a user agreement that said it would not reproduce or modify the material, according to Jon Henkes, WisconsinEye's president and chief executive officer.
In a Wednesday letter to Henkes, Planned Parenthood's attorney contended the group had done nothing wrong but had changed the ad in response to WisconsinEye's objections. The letter from attorney Susan Crawford noted the user agreement says that it is not intended to diminish users' "fair use" rights to the material, and that Planned Parenthood had the ability to use the material as it did.
In its ad, Planned Parenthood replaced the material that directly came from WisconsinEye with other footage of the same proceeding from another source. To the average viewer, the differences are minor.
Henkes released a statement Thursday that continued to maintain Planned Parenthood had violated the user agreement, saying it had misused and "twisted" the channel's coverage. Margaret Farrow, a WisconsinEye board member and former lieutenant governor, issued a statement saying Planned Parenthood had shown a "blatant disregard" for fair dealing.
Asked if legal action is being considered, Henkes said the network is weighing its options.
Planned Parenthood has said it will run the ad on Green Bay television beginning Monday. It comes as Ellis prepares to run against Rep. Penny Bernard Schaber (D-Appleton) in 2014, his first opponent in 16 years.
Nicole Safar, a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood, has said the 30-second spot in part is meant to keep at bay a proposal by Wisconsin Right to Life to ban abortions after around 20 weeks.
No legislation has been introduced to do that, but Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) said on the Senate floor in June she expected to introduce more anti-abortion legislation in the future.
In an interview this week, Lazich said she was focused on elections legislation for now and did not know if she would offer more anti-abortion legislation this session.

Matchbox Twenty keeps the customer satisfied
Rob Thomas made a promise early in Matchbox Twenty's Milwaukee set Saturday, to give the audience "the best tonight you could possibly have."
But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(7)

Metrorail's Safe Track plan begins in early June. Major track repair will disrupt commuters throughout the National Capital Region. The entire subway system, as well as roads, bridges, commuter rail and bus systems will feel the strain. It's not as easy as choosing to drive to work. What about the added congestion? Where will you park? How will you get to work?
SafeTrack is a massively comprehensive plan, accelerated to address safety concerns and rehabilitate the entire Metrorail system. Work is expected to begin June 2016 and run through March 2017. WMATA will provide shuttle buses at stations that are closed entirely and those most significantly affected by the closures. Riders are encouraged to consider alternate travel options during this round-the-clock construction.
Expect longer travel times during the Metrorail construction. Enter a starting point at dcmetrohero.com/safetrack or wmata.com to see how your commute is affected and make alternate plans.
Federal employees may switch to the TRANServe Card when choosing transit providers who do not accept the SmarTrip® card by submitting a change application.
Not sure ? Click here for detailed payment information.
Note: The TRANServe Card option is only available to employees of Federal Agencies serviced by TRANServe.
Transit Benefit Program Offices: contact your Transit Benefit Manager. Others please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
In a newly released report issued by US Government Accountability Office (GAO), the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Debit Card program is determined to be in compliance with all Federal standards. TRANServe, DOT's shared service provider, delivers the transit benefit program to over 100 Federal agencies and sub-agencies. The report found that TRANServe's multiple internal control activities align with GAO's Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government and validates the on-going work performed by TRANServe to protect the Federal dollars via the transit benefit against fraud, waste, and abuse. The full report can be found at: http://gao.gov/products/GAO-15-497.
TRANServe's proven approach to regulatory compliance ensures that the transit benefit provided electronically through the TRANServe Debit Card remains tax free and excluded from the Federal employee's gross income.
Federal Agency Cost Savings
In addition to IRS compliance, agency savings are inherent to the TRANServe Debit Card. The transit benefit is loaded each month, with the added feature that unused benefits are automatically returned to the agency each month. This seamless operation has produced verifiable savings to TRANServe's customer agencies thanks to a transformation of the TRANServe program from paper to electronic. Over the last four years the number of participants receiving the benefit via the Debit Card increased steadily as TRANServe partnered with IRS to ensure compliance with the major transit providers city by city. The return of funds to the agency is shown below and occurs every month while maintaining the tax free nature of the benefit!

2016 Discount for Lack of Marketability Study - This study provides objective rate of return measures for determining a discount for lack of marketability for the valuation of privately held corporations and partnerships. Practitioners often apply a fixed discount for lack of marketability without regard to the resulting effect on the rate of return. This practice is inconsistent with the fundamental concept of valuation which equates risk and reward. To determine the size of the discount, three studies were conducted to measure the increase in return required to compensate investors that hold nonmarketable versus marketable securities or investments with longer term risk horizons. The report includes the following sections:
This data was the basis for BVR's recent webinar, "Using the Empirical Method for Determining DLOMs" and has been presented at the AICPA, NACVA and ASA Business Valuation conferences. The report will be emailed in a PDF document upon purchase and includes an example to demonstrate how to apply the study. Buy Online Now for $149.

Almost four years after 36-year-old Ben Oxley was shot to death in his Wildhorse home, his ex-wife's boyfriend admitted to the murder, and said Dawn Oxley conspired with him to commit the crime.
James Matlean, 24, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree murder and conspiracy with another person to murder Melissa Oxley, the victim's wife.
Matlean told District Judge Michael Gibbons he shot Ben Oxley, but got scared and ran out the front door instead of shooting Melissa Oxley.
He was set to go on trial at the end of January.
In a plea agreement with the district attorney's office, Matlean faces life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years on the murder charge and 10 years on the conspiracy charge, to be served consecutively.
In a statement read to the court, Matlean said he was at Dawn Oxley's house on Feb. 20, 2008, taking hallucinogenic mushrooms and drinking Southern Comfort.
"Dawn came home from work early. She was very angry. As she kept drinking, she kept saying she wanted Ben dead. I told her I would do it," Matlean said.
Later that night he said Dawn Oxley asked him to kill Ben and Melissa Oxley. She drew a diagram of the house showing the location of the master bedroom.
Under questioning from Gibbons, Matlean said Dawn Oxley accompanied him to Walmart where he purchased shotgun shells for the 12-gauge shotgun which he owned.
He said when they arrived at Oxley's residence early Feb. 21, 2008, they tried to go in the front door, which was locked. They entered through a sliding-glass door and Dawn Oxley showed him where the bedroom was.
The occupants of the house - who included Oxleys' 6-year-old daughter and Melissa Oxley's 15-year-old brother - were asleep.
"I shot the gun at the back of Ben's head. Dawn went to (her 6-year-old daughter's) bedroom and wanted to take her. I told her 'no.' I told her to wait in the truck. She came back in the house, and we both ran out of the house, got in the truck and left."
Matlean said he was too scared to shoot Melissa Oxley.
Matlean said he hid the shotgun for two days before destroying the weapon.
"Did you understand what you were doing, that you were taking another person's life?" Gibbons asked.
"Yes," said Matlean.
Dawn Oxley had maintained her innocence during the murder investigation. She had a plea agreement with the district attorney's office that she would not be prosecuted for her ex-husband's murder as long as she testified truthfully against Matlean.
Prosecutor Tom Gregory said Tuesday her agreement was still in place, but under review. He declined to say whether she would be prosecuted on the conspiracy charge.
She is serving 90 months in Nevada State Prison for using her 15-year-old daughter in multiple drug transactions. She must serve 36 months before she is eligible for parole.
Gibbons said he has the final decision on what the sentence will be and set the date for March 16 or March 30.
Sentences for first-degree murder include life without parole, life with the possibility of parole after 20 years and a set sentence of 50 years with possibility of parole after 20 years.
Matlean is being held in Douglas County Jail without bail.
About two dozen people attended the hearing including Melissa Oxley, family friends and Douglas County sheriff's personnel.

A Visit from St. Nicholas to Usenet groups, the by-you, and beyond
Nearly 200 years after "A Visit from St. Nicholas" was written, the authorship is still in dispute. In the years since, there have been quite a few parodies and variants of the poem written, recorded and performed, including at least two different versions of a Cajun Night Before Christmas (a recording of the version by Te-Jules, and Trosclair's version[Google books preview], read by Larry Ray, recorded from WLOX). Snopes tracked down the history of The Soldier's Night Before Christmas, Fifties Web collected 21 tame versions (with auto-playing music), and Dirty Xmas has a number of "adult" versions. Yuks 'R' Us has a large collection, including some dated computer-related stories. Speaking of dated, you can view a vintage '98 "enhanced" version of the original poem plus more variations from Purple Lion (a member of the Merry Christmas Webring from 1998). But for the ultimate collection of variants and parodies, you might recall this thread from 2002. The link is dead, but Archive.org caught the site around that time, with 581 versions. That was over a decade ago, and now Alechemist Matt is up to 849 versions, parodies and variants of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
WWII American St. Nick
Sometimes, the full meaning of a moment isn't realized until years later. Dick Brookins certainly had no idea what would come of that December day, back in 1944. Brookins and other members of the U.S. Army's 28th Infantry Division Signal Corps were in Wiltz, a small town in Luxembourg, just days before what would turn into the Battle of the Bulge. This U.S. soldier stood in for an absent Saint Nicholas... it was to change his life and help him find some meaning for the war in Europe. As it turns out, someone was filming that day when an Army jeep carried the American St. Nick through the streets giving treats to the local children. It brought him back 65 years later.

Volleyball Adds Transfer Marissa Hine To Roster
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Marissa Hine (Noblesville, Ind./Noblesville), who played the last two seasons at Belmont University, has been added to the Ball State women's volleyball roster as a walk-on student-athlete according to head coach Steve Shondell.
"We are very excited to add Marissa to our roster," Shondell said. "She loves the heat of battle and can dig with the best. It will take her some time to get adjusted to our style of play as she missed a majority of the preseason, but when she does, she will make a positive impact on our team."
In two seasons as a defensive specialist at Belmont, Hine played in 30 matches and recorded 69 digs. She started seven matches as a freshman and recorded her first collegiate kill in her debut versus Alabama A&M (Aug. 24, 2012). As a sophomore, Hine posted a career-high 18 digs at SIU Edwardsville (Oct. 5, 2013).
Prior to her two-year career at Belmont, Hine was a four-year letterwinner for head coach Steve Ward at Noblesville High School. As a senior, she finished second among all Indiana Class 4A players in digs, while ranking seventh in aces. She was also a member of the Indiana All-North Team and was named All-Hoosier Crossroads Conference, team captain and defensive most valuable performer as a senior.
