EXCLUSIVE: Donald Sterling vows to take his fight for the LA Clippers to the Supreme Court and calls Obama 'flippant' for attacking his racist views
Disgraced LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling insists that the NBA has no legal right to force him to sell his beloved basketball team and fine him $2.5m and hes willing to take the fight to the Supreme Court.
Sterlings resolute stance is revealed for the first time in recordings obtained by MailOnline in which he lays bare his true feelings towards basketballs governing body.
Whats more, the 81-year-old says he won't pay a $2.5million fine imposed upon him by the NBA. The game's governing body also placed a life ban on Sterling from ever attending an NBA basketball game.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I think this guy is nuts.
Go For It, Donald!
See? If he were racist, he'd've said uppity.
He can afford to buy an awful lot of lawsuit. This could get interesting.
This is all over an eaves-dropped private phone call?
Sterling's version of Molon Labe.
the lawyers are sure gonna make a mint.
"I think this guy is nuts."
He is nuts,but he's also right to fight this. This is a HUGE mountain made out of a tiny molehill.
He's a racist——so is Al Sharpton.
Looks like he isn't taking the apology tour. Boycott every team except the Clippers.
Pray America wakes up
Let's see if Lebron walks the walk..................
Yes, but he's a wealthy nut. We call those people "eccentrics". :)
I'm no fan of this disgusting pig.
However I am a BIG FAN of PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Who has the right to take away his property?
Bet those depositions with Magic are going to be real interesting.
Dude has a right to think whatever the Hell he wants to think and say whatever Hell wants to say.
We all do.
I, for one, am tired of people trying to make me and everyone else walk around with a mind prison on.
Damn tired.
I hope he sues the Hell out of everyone involved and wins.
"Sterlings version of Molon Labe."
The guy has ballzzzzz. I like him. I hope he puts the NBA in its place. He and his family will be taxed much higher if he has to sell now.....If his family inherit the team the taxes are lower
Sterling has a few hundred million ($$$$)reasons to be telling the NBA admin to go to hell
I haven't heard anything that convinces me he's actually a racist.
I've heard plenty that tells me he dislikes Magic Johnson.
Magic wanted the Clippers and he knew it. He didn't like Magic, but didn't want to admit it directly, so he directed his remarks at a more general group of people Magic belongs to, even though his own associations with black people (including the young woman) are well established.
And I'm convinced he is scatterbrained. He also wanted to bed the young woman, who was manipulating him into making racial statements while he was being recorded.
He's getting railroaded.
I agree.
But that doesn't make it all right.
Sterling may wind up owning the league.
Damn right! Thought police!
I suspect the NBA is going to find a nefarious way to avoid a full on legal slugfest - perhaps they will conspire with Sterling's estranged wife to have him declared incompetent and she would take over all legal decisions.
Waste of time.
The SCOTUS is completely politicized.
They will decide for Political Correctness.
Once in a while they throw us a bone, but 99% of the time, they side with the communists.
Guy is nuts but that does not mean he has less rights than any one of us.
You are correct.
This involves the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendment. You have a right to be an idiot. Look at MSNBC. I guess we should just take over their operation.
I liked the way he was giving a few million to the local NAACP to buy them off and get awards...To help his reputation in "the community"
He did all the right PC stuff as in giving money to the NAACP and he still got reamed out for comments he made in private
In the world of Al Gore, is there a controlling legal authority here? Is someone going to arrest him if he shows up at a game or not pay the fine? I suppose the NBA could schedule his team out and release the players and make his team worthless. That in itself would open up a whole new bucket of worms for the NBA. I don't care to follow the NBA but I'm going to follow this.
"Sterling may wind up owning the league."
Donald Sterling for NBA Commissioner!!!!!!
it depends upon what is in his franchise agreement
After that the public should hear what's routinely said on so-called black and latino radio stations.
If all these 'offended' people really want to eradicate racism we need to go down this road as well.
Sterling says a lot....very low filter
I detest the NBA
Hannity plays part of the Anderson COoper interview he did, and he was talking about gays and how unnatural it is with AIDS and I actually agree with him that that kind of lifestyle should not be applauded. Strangely, Hannity came back from the segment calling him nuts and shaking his head in unbelief. So now even so called conservatives are turning a blind eye to the gay agenda?
Sterling the liberal is only doing what Clinton the Great Liberal Teacher taught him to do —dig in his heels in the face of overwhelming evidence and SUE, SUE, SUE.
This makes SENSE.
Later Al followed suit after he lost Florida by a whisker —the fighting and screaming went on and on and one, and Al didn't bat an eye.
Decency and sparing the country..? HA..!
Liberal sports is getting what THEY DESERVE.
I hope that one microsecond before falling on the legal battlefield Don Sterling leaves pro sports a tattered, bloody PC mess with the legal bodies piled up around him up to his sagging ears.
Dig up your billion$ and call out ALL your flying monkeys, Donald...! Let it last YEAR$...!
Arguably he is nuts, or has diminished capacity (senility).
Still, its fun to watch and most of the people on the other side deserve whatever trouble he makes for them.
It may be his finest hour !
Tom Wolfe material.
It's not a fine, it's a tax.
Sterling may have a case in not getting fair market value in a forced sale. Then the issue is compensation.
Free speech, 1st Amendment rights.
The golden nugget in all of this was last week in that second recorded conversation with a black male that was one of his supposed friends. The man is telling Sterling the word on the street about how the NBA is going to force him to sell the team and there are interested parties wanting to buy the team and names off... "Sean Combs Diddy.... OPrah...." (long pause) and then Sterling says, "Who??????" The delivery of the line and the cluelessness of who either one of those people were was priceless!
He's got "F You Money."
Hannity is a frickin' obnoxious idiot.
I can no longer tolerate listening to his show, so I do not.
I agree with what Sterling said on that subject too.
There are things that I think that if I said out loud I am quite sure some people would be aghast, and I really do not give a damn.
As a free man, I am going to think what I want, and I am going to say what I want, and if that offends some one in this hypersensitive country, then good!
According to the rules Mark Levin read on his show yesterday, the NBA did not have the authority to do anything that it did outside of banning him form games.
LeBron said recently that he doesn't want any member of Sterling's "Jewish Family" owning the Clippers..gee I don't remember anyone asking for a boycott on LeBron for his anti Jewish statement..Im no fan of Sterling but he has every right to keep his team that HE bought with his own money..that whore taped him, illegally..if it can happen to him it can happen to any of us
The NBA bylaws requires players to "be of good moral character", whatever that means.
First of all, Sterling is an A-hole; but if I were him, I'd demand that the NBA oust all the players who are not of good moral character and there are lots of them.
Exactly how would that work?
Who would you watch them play against?
Yep, Sarah...I want to see Lebron out walking a picket line with his 'lil sign...*L*
A boycott or strike by the whole NBA would be hilarious...
I only watch college basketball anyway...
BZZT! Try again.
The Harlem Globetrotters ?
The NBA should immediately send notice to NBA players and owners to shut up or face fines. Jame's stupid comment about banning the wife could hurt any lawsuit. Magic is also in this deep, he better be careful.
LeBron is such a fraud anyway, can't stand him..I say heck let them all boycott I don't care..the NBA season is pretty much a joke anyway. They won't boycott, they are making zillions of dollars to put a ball into a hoop, they are all talk..and by the way, why does LeBron care so much about a team that he doesn't even play for. I can understand if Sterling were the owner of the Heat, maybe I can understand his outrage, but Sterling owns the Clippers, a team that LeBron will never play on..so why the concern..sounds like your typical liberal phony outrage.

Seventh Graders Publish Bird Guide

Prepare for the BioBlitz at San Juan Island National Historical Park and enjoy birding with a local flavor by consulting Spring Street International School's field guide to birds, assembled by Sharon Massey's Seventh Grade middle school science class.
The guide can be downloaded for offline access on smartphone devices, or on home computers through the free iNaturalist app that the park will use during BioBlitz, scheduled May 3-4 at American Camp.
Find the link on the park's web site, or visit iNaturalist directly at this link.
The BioBlitz is scheduled over a 24-hour period, Saturday and Sunday, May 3-4 starting and finishing at noon at American Camp. Conducted in parks throughout the nation, a BioBlitz is a unique combination of taxonomic inventory, public outreach and science education. Teams of volunteers, each lead by an expert scientist, find, identify, and photograph as many species as possible within a 24-hour period.
Begun in January, the Spring Street bird guide features student drawings and descriptions, coupled with photographs of 78 birds that have been sighted in the San Juan Islands.
"We started by looking at field guides, deciding what we liked, and coming up with a list of criteria for a field guide of our own," Massey said. "We chose to do a bird guide simply because one of our students was good at drawing birds and the project took off from there."
The Chestnut-backed Chickadee is a small bird with a black head with a white cheek patch, dark wings and tail, a white belly, and a rich chestnut back.
Spring Street International School
At first only a few of the students drew, while others researched and/or wrote descriptions, Massey said. But eventually all 11students involved in the project began to draw, and each student's knowledge and skill evolved with every bird depicted. After only a few weeks the students had compiled more than 20 drawings, eventually topping out at 78, she said.
On science class days, the students focused on birding utilizing, in part, pre-established bird boxes. The students spotted, sketched, recorded the species of bird based upon the nests they found, and eventually cleaned the vacated boxes, Massey said.
"We were inspired by the work of Roger Tory Peterson and David Sibley, and while we are fully responsible for the inaccuracies in our bird illustrations, we learned a lot about our local birds through this project and decided to call our book a Book of Birds, rather than a field guide, "Massey wrote on the web site. "While you might not be able to ID every bird in our book from our illustrations, we hope the book helps you fall in love with birds the way we did!"
"That is just fantastic--I love this!" said Lee Taylor, park superintendent "The students did an amazing job accurately representing the birds and infusing them with artistic expression; thanks to all who contributed."

Did You Know?
Many of San Juan Island's roads trace sheep runs cut by Hudson's Bay Company workers. They were led, in part, by Fort Victoria Chief Factor and colonial Gov. James Douglas, from 1853 to 1859. Many of the workers were Cowichan Indians from Vancouver Island.

PO3128V/960 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of PO3128Vin our 2015, and 2016 Persol range.
This Persol model is an all-rounder, equally suiting men and women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Round eyeglasses are extremely prestigious. A fact John Lennon was aware of, being rarely seen without them. Harry Potter would also not be the same without his characteristic eyeglasses. Due to its shape the PO3128V will be a long-time companion, because round eyeglasses never really go out of fashion. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The PO3128V is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
Even if this Persol is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Stitched rib and perforations increase gripping power and moisture absorption. Sized to fit extra long racquets.
Available Colors: Black
This grip is better than I expected. It is very tacky and EXTREMELY comfortable. It does however add an additional grip size to your racquet handle (I had a 4 3/8 and it increased to 4 1/2) but I have no complaints. Vibration dampening gel in the grip really helps. I'm going to order a couple more.

I love Ina Garten. This guac is so tasty! I left out the garlic and we didn't miss it. Very fresh tasting!
I always get compliments on the guacamole when I make this recipe. It's wonderful!

The Surgeon's Mate (Aubrey-Maturin Series #7)by Patrick O'Brian, O'Brian
"Vividly detailed 19th-century settings and dramatic tension punctuated with flashes of wry humor make O'Brian's nautical adventure a splendid treat."Publishers WeeklyJack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by dispatch vessel to bring the news of their latest victory to the government. But Maturin is a marked man for the havoc he has wrought in the French intelligence network in the New World, and the attention of two privateers soon becomes menacing. The chase that follows through the fogs and shallows of the Grand Banks is as tense, and as unexpected in its culmination, as anything Patrick O'Brian has written.

What People are Saying About This
Meet the Author
Patrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey/Maturin series of historical novels has been described as "a masterpiece" (David Mamet, New York Times), "addictively readable" (Patrick T. Reardon, Chicago Tribune), and "the best historical novels ever written" (Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review), which "should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century" (George Will).Set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, O'Brian's twenty-volume series centers on the enduring friendship between naval officer Jack Aubrey and physician (and spy) Stephen Maturin. The Far Side of the World, the tenth book in the series, was adapted into a 2003 film directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. The film was nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture. The books are now available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book format.In addition to the Aubrey/Maturin novels, Patrick O'Brian wrote several books including the novels Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, and The Unknown Shore, as well as biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. He translated many works from French into English, among them the novels and memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir, the first volume of Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles de Gaulle, and famed fugitive Henri Cherrière's memoir Papillon. O'Brian died in January 2000.

The adventures of Captain Aubrey and his friend Dr Maturin continues in this excellent book. I enjoy how each book leverages of the last. In reading this book it made me feel like I was part of the crew. I thought I would never be interested in novels from this era, but my mind is changed. Patrick O'Brien is a great author and I look forward to reading the next novel, which I just purchased. If you have read the previous six volumes, you will not be disapointed. Haze grey and underway for the Royal Navy.
I have completely fallen in love with this series of historical naval novels, in love with the characters, in love with the language, and in love with the adventures. There are 20, T-W-E-N-T-Y of them; I'm reading number 16, and when I finish the series, I'm going to go right back to book number 1, to read them again, but next time through, I'll write down the words I don't know, and look them up. When you were little, did you ever have a book series that totally involved you; you couldn't wait to get the next one, and you were heartbroken when you finished the last? This is that experience again, in spades. Patrick O'Brian brings a whole world, quite literally, to life, and his main characters and their lives, interesting to begin with, develop in fascinating ways. Dramatic, funny, touching, grotesque, horrifying, informative, altogether fabulous and can't-put-them-down reads!
Gripping historical tale of adventure Strong characters with meat on there bones
Maybe the best of the series so far. Kept my attention of course but it makes me keep a dictionary handy and kept me wondering if the 'mate' is Maturin's assistant, or Jack Aubrey or Diana Villiers. Loved it.

Credit Agricole Gets Bids for Emporiki From Greece's Banks
Credit Agricole (ACA) SA received bids from Greece's biggest lenders for its unprofitable Emporiki Bank unit, moving the French company closer to an exit from Greece.
National Bank of Greece SA and Eurobank Ergasias SA submitted offers for Emporiki, they said in statements yesterday. They join Alpha Bank SA, Greece's No. 3 lender, in their pursuit of Athens-based Emporiki, six years after Credit Agricole (ACA) took control of the company. The banks didn't disclose financial terms.
Emporiki's 23 billion euros ($28.4 billion) of Greek loans make Credit Agricole the foreign bank with most at risk should Greece abandon the euro. A sale of Emporiki would make it easier for Credit Agricole to reduce future losses in Greece, while the purchase may ease the buyer's capital needs if the French parent injects fresh funds.
"Any buyer is going to want to pay a very limited amount on a bank newly recapitalized but still with lots of risks," said Benoit Petrarque, a Paris-based analyst at Kepler Capital Markets SA with a "reduce" rating on Credit Agricole.
Recapitalization Required
Emporiki's quarterly losses probably wiped out most of 600 million euros of capital it had from its parent at the end of March, Petrarque said. A recapitalization of between 2 billion euros and 2.5 billion euros would be needed to lift Emporiki's core capital ratio to 10 percent, Petrarque said.
Credit Agricole, France's third-largest bank by market value, is slated to publish second-quarter earnings on Aug. 28. Charlotte de Chavagnac, a Credit Agricole spokeswoman, declined to comment on Emporiki's capital needs.
Credit Agricole received "binding offers from several Greek banks interested in acquiring the entire capital of Emporiki," the company, based near Paris, said in a statement today, without identifying the bidders. Credit Agricole "is currently assessing these offers and no strategic decision has yet been taken."
Credit Agricole rose 1 percent to 4.01 euros by 11:03 a.m. in Paris trading, giving the company a market value of 10 billion euros. The stock has fallen 42 percent in the past 12 months, trailing the 6.2 percent decline in the 38-member Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index.
Capital Plans
Credit Agricole, owned by a group of regional lenders, injected 2 billion euros of capital into Emporiki in January to replenish funds depleted by losses. Credit Agricole's capital exposure to Emporiki shrank to about 600 million euros at the end of March, while its funding to the Greek division fell to 4.6 billion euros from 5.5 billion euros at the end of 2011, partly as deposits rose in the first quarter.
Greece is overhauling its banks after lenders sustained losses on their holdings of Greek government bonds in the country's debt swap, the biggest sovereign restructuring in history. The country obtained a 130 billion-euro bailout in March from the European Union and International Monetary Fund which earmarked 50 billion euros for recapitalizing the banks.
The Hellenic Financial Stability Fund is helping to oversee Emporiki's sale as preparations continue to put capital into the country's banks. Completing the recapitalization of Greek lenders by September is "unrealistic," Eurobank Ergasias Deputy Chief Executive Officer Michalis Colakides said July 23.
Funding Gap
Emporiki's loans, which are equivalent to almost 10 percent of Greece's gross domestic product, exceed deposits, requiring Credit Agricole to provide funding to the unit. Buyers will seek to limit their exposure to that funding gap, analysts said.
Credit Agricole's accumulated losses from Emporiki represent on average more than 15 million euros for every one of the unit's 337 branches. The loss since 2008 is about 4,000 euros per client.
A quest for growth drove Credit Agricole and its French rivals BNP Paribas SA and Societe Generale SA to markets outside their home turf, especially in southern Europe, eastern Europe and Belgium, over the last decade. French banks held $534 billion in private and public debt in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain at the end of March, the most by foreign lenders, Bank for International Settlements data show.
Credit Agricole, under the leadership of former Chief Executive Officer Georges Pauget and former Chairman Rene Carron, invested 2.2 billion euros in 2006 to buy a majority stake in Emporiki, the least profitable of Greece's top banks at the time. Since then, Emporiki has been unprofitable every year except 2007, with cumulated net losses for Credit Agricole of 5.3 billion euros.
The offers for Emporiki come after Piraeus Bank SA (TPEIR), Greece's fourth-biggest lender, agreed on July 27 to acquire Agricultural Bank of Greece (TELL) SA for 95 million euros, in a transaction that may move Eurobank and Alpha down the list of Greece's largest banks. With assets of 74 billion euros, Piraeus now says it is the country's No. 2 by assets, behind National Bank of Greece.

Curse or coincidence? A tree fells on a house Thursday afternoon, and neighbors were then stung by a swarm of bees living in that tree.
Residents in the 4300 block of Gertie are wondering how another strange incident could have happened just two weeks after a house exploded on the same street.
Just standing here in front of this home at 4325 Gertie, one has to wonder what's going to happen next on this block.
The huge tree came crashing down just after 2 p.m., right on top of a home on 4325 Gertie.
"We were in our backyard, working in our backyard, and we just heard a real loud sound," said Mary Lopez, who lives on Gertie Street. "And we came out front, and this is what we saw."
The Corpus Christi Fire Department and Vector Control went out to take a look at the mess. Fire personnel checked out the damage and made sure no one was hurt, aside from some residents that were stung by bees.
Vector Control was there working to get rid of the swarm of bees, which were apparently living in the bottom of the fallen tree.
It was just over two weeks ago when both of those City departments were out there after the home next door exploded. The resident of that home was severely burned. Vector Control had to get rid of some 3,000 bees which had a hive outside that house.
The good news is that no one was home when the tree took out the front porch.
Kiii News Reporter Michael Gibson went Live with latest on the incident.

1 in 50 16-year-olds affected by chronic fatigue syndrome
In what is believed to be the biggest study of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) -- also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) -- in children to date, researchers have found that almost 2 per cent of 16-year-olds participating in children of the 90s have CFS lasting more than six months and nearly 3 per cent have CFS lasting more than three months (the UK definition). Those with CFS missed, on average, more than half a day of school every week.

101-Years Later, San Francisco's Street Race Is Wackier Than Ever
On Sunday, May 20th, over 40,000 official competitors and thousands of unofficial ones, took to the streets of San Francisco to participate in 101st Bay to Breakers, the city's most famous road race. Started in 1912 to bring some cheer to the residents following the devastating 1906 earthquake, the unique event celebrates not only athleticism, but also, the fun-loving spirit of the people of San Francisco.
The annual race is the only competition where some of the world's fastest runners share the starting line with adults dressed in all kinds of imaginative costumes. This year's line up included a banana, a team camouflaged as the Golden Gate Bridge, a group of bridesmaids and even, a refrigerator-sized airstream trailer.
Amongst all this mayhem many people forget that this is a real race - one that carries with it a grand prize of $25,000USD. It is therefore not surprising that it attracts elite runners from all over the world. As has been the case in many years past, this year's overall winner came from Kenya. Sammy Kitwara, who has won this race twice before, took home $12,000 USD for crossing the finish line in an impressive 34 minutes and 40 seconds.
The overall women's winner was Mamitu Daska from Ethiopia. She reached the finish line in 39 minutes and 2 seconds. However, because the elite women runners are given a 4.5 minute lead over the elite male runners, she was the first to reach the finish line, an honor that earned her a whopping $25,000 USD. She then tagged on another $12,000 USD for being the first female to finish and the first athlete to climb the notorious Hayes Street Hill, that rises from sea level to a height of 215 feet, in five short city blocks.
The banana, donned by 25-year old Mark Denari didn't do too shabbily either, reaching the finish line in less than an hour - Quite impressive given that the suit weighed over 10-pounds. While he was the first banana and first fruit overall, he was outrun by Flash and Batman! Though neither won any money, they did go home with bragging rights.
As with most San Francisco events, this one too ended with parties held in private homes, as well as, some of the city's finest restaurants. After a day of fun, all the participants trekked home to check their calendars for other upcoming events - That's because there is always something exciting going on in this beautiful city where people love to have a good time!

who upgraded from S95 and to what?
I'd say it depends entirely on just what style/type of camera you have a fancy or a liking for. If you've used the S95 for some time it seems clear that you like and are satisfied with what a SMALL camera will give you. I still have my S95 after having it in use regularly..but then later went onto various others .. probably my whim as much as anything as I feel strongly that the S95 is VERY capable and can give pics as I've got in my collection, that would not show THAT much better from various other cameras in a similar category Each camera tends to handle and feel differently. I often think the S95 is as little too small for comfort - even in my small hands. I got an Oly XZ-1 to follow it and whist still very pocketable and similar, it felt a little different and still gave me the quality I wanted from a carry-about pocket type. I've had a few others since - none that large , so I keep that nice feeling - the Sony RX-100 is excellent indeed..similar ease of carry although it is a bit pricey..STILL worth the price though and it IS a quite small camera very similar to the S95 in that respect. The G15 is a LOVELY camera.. it IS better than the S95 without a doubt - incredibly good and discard all thoughts you might have just from pics of it..if you've not seen and handled one - LOVELY in the hand..feels right from the start - and VERY good results.. and the price I paid for it was barely more than I paid when I bought the S95 new..the G15 I honestly say is one you might well look at..it's a great camera and feels OH so right..AND gives quality pics with ease.

Comparison shopping site Shopzilla has launched an affiliate program for web site owners who want to create shopping links at their sites. The program create links to Shopzilla's catalog of more than 30 million products from more than 92,000 retailers.
Comparison shopping site Shopzilla has launched an affiliate program for web site owners who want to create shopping links at their sites. But unlike most affiliate programs, by which affiliates link to retail sites, participants in the Shopzilla program create links to Shopzilla's catalog of more than 30 million products and offers from more than 92,000 retailers. Buyers who click on the link go first to Shopzilla, then to a retail site to buy.
The program targets such web site operators as specialty deal sites, bloggers and product review sites. The program provides self-service advertising options, including text links, display ads and search boxes and allows publishers to customize the ad content at their sites to make the links relevant to each site's editorial content, Shopzilla says.
Another twist in the Shopzilla program is that, rather than pay commissions on sales that are completed through a link, as do most affiliate programs, the Shopzilla program pays affiliates on a per-click basis, whether a sale takes place or not, much like the search engine marketing model. The company is not publicly disclosing the amount it pays per click.
Some industry observers point out that the pay-per-click model might be risky for Shopzilla, given the extent of so-called click fraud in search engine marketing, where machines or low-paid workers click repeatedly on links to drive up payment to the site. But David Weinrot, Shopzilla's vice president of content marketing and operations, says affiliates go through a rigorous screening process and Shopzilla monitors click traffic daily with automated alerts if the number of clicks exceeds a threshold.
The pay-per-click model should be attractive to affiliate sites and in turn should make Shopzilla a more attractive venue for retailers to list their products, says Maris Daugherty, consultant with retail consulting company J. C. Williams Group. "The affiliates will find a way to make money at this and as a retailer, I'd see value in that," she says.
Another factor that makes the Shopzilla program different from other affiliate programs is participants' ability to get SKU-level detail and not just links to retailers' sites for visitors to click on, says Sucharita Mulpuru, analyst with research and advisory company Forrester Research Inc. "This seems more robust for small companies than simply signing up with an affiliate network," she says.
The Shopzilla program may serve a smaller market of companies than usually participate in affiliate programs, Mulpuru says. "Everything in the affiliate market is the long tail; this is the long, long tail," she says.
Shopzilla is already considering enhancements to the program, Weinrott says, including allowing affiliate sites to provide sign-up links for Shopzilla's RSS feed, with the affiliate's code embedded in the feed so the affiliate earns money every time a reader clicks to a product through the RSS feed.
Shopzilla is rolling the program out this week after beta testing for a month with several hundred sites.

Tiger's vivaciousness and "never-say-die" attitude make them inspiring friends and a favorite at any social occasion. They love being active and trying new things. Risk is not an issue. Tiger will give their all to anything that inspires their passionate nature.
Tigers can be surprisingly suspicious and impatient. They will run in one direction one day and then become stalled and indecisive the next. When they feel disrespected, a Tiger can be truly mean and even seek revenge. Tigers need to shine and hate being ignored.
Tigers are romantic. They are the most charming of partners, who do best with someone more down-to-earth and realistic. They will often be particularly fond of and generous with pets and children.
The life of a Tiger person is never dull. There is always some new adventure just ahead. Their powerful emotions trigger equally powerful reactions. Although often blind to their obvious faults, temperamental Tigers never lose their optimism and love of life.

We have drone boats that suck up oil spills, couldn't we come up with some nano "woombas" to suck up a couple of ounces of blood every month? In almost 80 years, the best option we've developed is to shove some cotton up there.
If you don't have a vagina, or just don't quite remember what a tampon is, here's a quick health lesson for you: a tampon is a dense cotton plug with a string attached. It's inserted into the vagina, either using an applicator (which functions like a little plunger) or by hand, where it soaks up the menstrual blood. It is removed by tugging on the string. And no, a woman can't feel it when it's in there.
There's evidence that tampons in some form or another existed in the ancient world, but the tampon as we know it today didn't come on the scene until 1936, when Tampax put the first commercial version on the market. Tampons had been used as a way to administer vaginal medication, but not as a menstrual product. This was a new frontier.
Kotex pad advertisement, 1920 Image: WikiMedia Commons
But they weren't an easy sell. It was the 30s, and this was a product designed to be placed internally, rather than externally, like the pads women were wearing at the time. There were concerns about the safety, the efficacy, and naturally, whether or not this would affect a young, unmarried woman's virginity, according to Lara Freidenfelds, reproductive health historian and the author of The Modern Period: Menstruation in Twentieth-Century America.
"It took doctors who worked hard to tell everyone that tampons were smaller than the vaginal opening, even in a teenager, and therefore were not going to harm their virginity," Freidenfelds told me. "In the 1940s, Consumer Reports actually came out with an article saying 'yes, tampons are safe for virgins to use.'" Because a woman's comfort was not nearly as important as her future husband's knowledge that his dick was the only thing that had ever been inside of her, but I digress.
Still tampons didn't really pick up steam until women had a real good reason to switch: fashion. As skirts became shorter, thinner, and tighter, and bathing suits (and eventually, bikinis) finally came on the scene, the bulky, belted, diaper-like pads women had worn suddenly seemed really impractical, Freidenfelds said. Women started to take to the tampon, and never looked back.
Over the ensuing decades, women still used pads, and would alternate or sometimes combine the two options. Pads really made a comeback when the belt was eliminated and the stick-on pad invented in the 70s. In the 80s, with the invention of the "wings" (they wrap around the crotch of the underwear), pads were really able to compete with tampons.
But not a lot has happened in the world of sanitary protection technology since. There have been alternatives that have tried to break into the market over the years, without much success. The most obvious example is the menstrual cup. It's just what it sounds like: a cup that is inserted into the vagina, collects menstrual blood, and is emptied out. They're reusable (some for up to ten years) but that's part of the reason why they haven't taken off, according to Freidenfelds.
"You don't throw away a lot of stuff, but it also means you don't buy a lot of stuff, so who has the incentive to develop it and market it and make sure it's in all the stores and advertise it?" she told me. "The companies that make pads and tampons have a good reason to get you to buy them every month and the companies that make the cups don't have the same budget."
Cups are also a little tricky to use, and if you insert or remove it incorrectly, you can end up with a really big mess. You also have to rinse them out, which could be a little awkward in a public restroom. That makes them hard enough to switch to, and especially intimidating for a young girl going through puberty and choosing a product for the first time.
Other options have cropped up throughout the years, too, like diaphragms (which are kind of like cups but are usually used for contraception), sponges (just, yeah, it's a sponge), and reusable cloth pads, but none of them have been able to top the comfort and convenience of the tampon.
The thing is, the companies who would be the ones to develop new advancements in menstrual technology really have no incentive to replace the status quo.
"What's happened is instead of genuine advancements in terms of new products, the industry has put its research efforts into just beefing up the existing products and creating a need for additional products," said Karen Houppert, a writer and author of The Curse, a book about the sanitary protection industry. "It's an effort to repackage the old as new and continue to alarm women about the prospect of anyone knowing that they bleed. That's their stock and trade."
In fact, rather than advancements in robotic blood collection, the biggest threat to the tampon industry may be the end of the period altogether. New contraceptive options like birth control pills that only give you four periods a year and hormonal IUDs that eliminate menstruation altogether are gaining in popularity. While still a small part of the market, the use of long-lasting, period-reducing contraceptives doubled over a five-year period from 2011-2013.
But Houppert isn't convinced Big Tampon has anything to worry about.
"Most women, by the time you're in your 20s, are pretty used to getting their period," Houppert said. For many women, their period is a way of getting a monthly "check-in" on their bodies, she said. It's a signal that a woman isn't pregnant, that she's healthy, that things are functioning the way they naturally do.
"We're all aware when something is off through that. It's a casual check in that women do with their bodies consciously or unconsciously," Houppert said.
The good news is women do have lots of options, and it just so happens that lots of women decide the tampon is the best one for them. If a new product is able to top the tampon, it will have a big battle on its hands trying to compete with a billion-dollar established industry, but as the tampon proved so many decades ago, if it's better, women will buy it.
I, however, am holding out for that nano vacuum-bot.

5 Questions With ... painter Mary Lund
Mary Lund says she's a senior, trying to be a kid again. The Huntington Harbour resident has been painting and drawing since she was a child. With very little formal education in art, she's happily winning awards, selling her paintings and enjoying the creative process. We sat down with the busy grandmother to talk about it.
Q. How often do you paint?
A. I might paint all day one day, and then not get started again for another few days, but I always finish a painting without stopping, except for the necessities like sleeping, eating and resting. I paint on silk, do watercolors and now I am doing more oil paintings. The important thing is to just do it.
Q. What subjects do you like?
A. Painting dogs is a passion for me. I feel like you can look into the very windows of their souls if you stare at their pictures. After I paint a dog, I feel like I'm their best friend. To get myself in the mood for it, I visualize the finished product, and I can feel my hand leading my brush as though the painting was painting itself. Everyone tells me that my dogs have great eye expression, and I think this shows how much I love dogs.
Q. You've won awards, right?
A. I attended the Kona Art Festival at the end of 2012 and won second place in the juried show. The last three years, at the same festival, I won first place in the People's Choice awards, I've won at the Huntington Harbour Art Association shows, an Aaron Brothers competition, and I had an art piece selected for a juried show at the Randy Higbee Gallery in Costa Mesa.
At one time I painted murals and signs for Apple Computer's main offices and other businesses like Security Pacific Bank.
Q. What else keeps you busy?
A. My husband of 51 years, and my 12-year-old grandson. He lives with us, and I've home-schooled him since his mother passed away when he was 6.
I love the water. When I was about 30 I started racing sabots ... and won the regionals here, and sailed in the finals at Kaneohe Bay in Oahu. I love music, too. I was an organist and guitarist for years, starting in high school. I played for churches, weddings and other events. Now, I'm teaching my grandchildren the piano and starting to practice every day.
I keep my energy up by drinking a green smoothie for breakfast every morning, swimming laps as much as possible, and walking my dog.
Q. What advice would you give to other seniors?
A. Life is short, and I feel guilty if I don't accomplish something every day. Get out there, drink a green smoothie, eat things that are raw and fresh. Find your passion and pursue it. Whatever you want to do, and set your mind to do, you can make happen. There is a new opportunity every day.

Connecticut proposes antifraud unit for hedge funds
The state of Connecticut could get its very own outfit to pursue hedge fund fraud if the state's joint banking committee has any say in the matter.
On March 9, the Connecticut General Assembly's 18-member Banks Committee unanimously agreed to propose the establishment of a hedge fund antifraud unit within the state's Department of Banking.
The bill sent to the floor of the state's House of Representatives calls for the creation of an office that would have the authority to investigate cases of alleged fraud involving any hedge fund in Connecticut. Investigations could be initiated by the unit of

Join Trump — Make America Great Again
(NY Post) Donald Trump is the GOP Nominee
It's Time for Cruz & Kasich to Drop Out
Trump's win in Indiana today confirms the trends of the last two weeks: A majority of GOP voters have decided, Trump is their nominee and that these Republicans have 'zero tolerance' for games at the July GOP convention in Cleveland–they want the party to unite against Hillary Clinton – now.
It's time for Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich to get the message and suspend their now hopeless and pointless — campaigns, otherwise all their doing is helping Hillary.
There is no misreading this electorate: In three straight weeks of voting now, Trump has solidly outperformed his pre-election polls…

Obama Radical Vocabulist –Cartoon: AF Branco/Legal Insurrection
(CNN) In a new intelligent assessment being circulated by the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) focuses on the 'domestic terror threat' from right wing sovereign citizen extremists as equal to and in some cases greater than the threat from Islamic terror groups such as ISIS that garner more public attention.
When was the last time anyone has heard about rightwing 'common law' protesters or Conservatives burning someone death while caged or chopping peoples heads off because they were Christians?
On the 16 February, I wrote here that the DHS from their own organizational chart has too many subdivisions in too many disparate fields to operate effectively and should be abolished (or not funded) and its components reorganized into more practical groupings…"
Why are some Members of Congress in such a frenzy to continue to fund this agency?
Flashback: Remember back in 2009 when DHS did a hatchet job on Conservatives alleging they have stoked a 'resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity' due to home foreclosures, job losses and…the historical presidential election.

(Legal Insurrection) Barack Obama, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen and Democrats have been lying all along about the destruction of evidence, as many of us suspected.
Former IRS Official Lois Lerner's Blackberry was intentionally destroyed subsequent to Congress commencing an investigation into the IRS targeting of Conservative groups–a Senior IRS Attorney acknowledged in a sworn declaration.
Thomas Kane, Deputy Assistant Chief Counsel for the IRS wrote in the declaration pursuant to a court order in the matter under the caption of Judicial Watch, Inc -v- IRS Case No. 1:13-CV-1559 USDC for the District of Columbia, that Lois Lerner's Blackberry was "removed or wiped clean" of any sensitive or proprietary information and removed as scrap for disposal in June, 2012

(WaPo) Is it any wonder why the former corrupt IRS official Lois Lerner warned her colleagues to be cautious what they say in emails because of Congressional investigations–I'm thinking that she maybe should have taken her own advice, though if she had one would not have learned what she really thought of Republicans and Tea Party Conservatives that were targeted by the IRS.
Lerner replying to an email from a yet unidentified individual who criticized Conservative talk show hosts and their discussions, Lerner replied: "Maybe we are through if there are than many A–holes," and wrote in a 09 Nov, 2012 email, claimed that 'they will ruin the United States, "So we don't need to worry about alien teRrorists–Its our own crazies that will take us down," The Washington Times reported.

Lois Lerner Warns IRS Staffers to Be Cautious of What They Say in Emails Because of Congressional Investigations –Image: Rep Darrell Issa
(Washington) Rep Steve Stockman (R-Texas) on Thursday, filed a resolution directing the House Sergent-of-Arms to arrest former IRS Director of Exempt Organizations Unit Lois Lerner, on charges of Contempt of Congress.
"Asking the Justice Dept to prosecute Lois Lerner for admittedly illegal activity is a joke. The Obama Administration will not prosecute the Obama Administration. How much longer will the House allow itself to be mocked?
It is up to this House to uphold the rule of law and hold accountable those who illegally targeted American citizens for simply having different ideas than the President–Democrats have openly stated the House has the power to arrest those in Contempt of Congress and imprison them in the Capitol. I don't want to go as far as Democrats in exercising the House's power to arrest. Ms Lerner, will be held in the D.C. jail," said Stockman.

Halfway Point!
Caroline Lamb • Edinburgh • 15 Aug 2011
The response has been excellent so far though, with two four star reviews - one for Blood Brothers and the other for Fear and Misery in the Third Reich.
Our four shows will, in fact, be whittled down to three tomorrow, as our fantastic dance troupe head home tomorrow. 1,2,3,2,2,3,3,2,3, Triplets! will not be showing on the Fringe after our day off on the 16th, and I hope they return home fully aware of the excellent job they've been doing.
There's so much to do on a day off in Edinburgh! Because there's nothing to get up for tomorrow morning, we've been considering hitting the clubs in town and perhaps taking a ghost tour of the vaults. Then of course, tomorrow, there's potentially a full day of shows to be seen as well as really interesting shops, museums, libraries and opportunities for hill climbing outside the city.
I really hope we don't just end up sleeping all day!
