Social Media Marketing and Twitter in particular is a great way for stars like Ashton Kutcher to generate buzz. In fact it's great for anyone and any business (when done properly). Now I'm as open minded to all sorts of Internet Marketing techniques but this one strikes me as a bit desperate.
Ashton is basically buying paid advertising on another social network in order to increase his followers on a competing social network. Come on Ashton. As they would say on Twitter: srsly?
Clearly Ashton Kutcher using Twitter is not a negative thing. In fact I fully believe in the power of Social Network Marketing and provide channels for self promotion. However, As a business driven marketer and branding expert I'm still not 100% certain if Ashton Kutcher's campaign on Twitter produced any definable results other than the fact that he got some dedicated airplay on CNN. For a hollywood actor like Kutcher, this is definitely a plus, getting airplay like that will do nothing but promote his own brand, his movies and his career (and positively affecting his bottom line).
I wonder what type of metrics were taken into account except for the number of followers? Was any tracking done on Click Through Rates? How did it affect his Online Reputation? More likely than not, it was purely a branding play. I still think the Ad reduces the legitimacy of his entire Twitter campaign.

Woodsmen – FLCC Team's Dominate at Home Event
CANANDAIGUA – The FLCC Logging Sports Competition was held on Saturday, October 6 at FLCC's main campus. Twenty teams (9 men, 3 women, and 8 jack and jill) representing six New York State Colleges, participated in the morning/afternoon event. The most noteworthy finishes of the day came from the hosts – FLCC – who claimed first overall in both the Men's and Jack and Jill (1) divisions.
The FLCC Men earned first place by a mere 49 points out of a potential 1600 – and were followed by SUNY ESF and Paul Smith's College respectively. The FLCC men started the day strong by winning 5 of 6 singles events. Taking those 5 first place finishes for the Lakers were Addison McCoy (Portville, NY) – axe throw, Matt Baird (Boonville, NY) – birling, Anthony 'Beeker' Robarge (Middlesex, NY) – pole climb, and Ben Williams (Lyons, NY) – triathlon. The men also won the team canoe relay, an event unique to the FLCC home meet – in part due to the volunteer coaching of Marty Dodge (whom is retired but continues to crave for FLCC dominance in canoe events).
"Each athlete has practiced relentlessly, some since the summer months, and their hard work paid-off today" said FLCC coach Ryan Staychock. He added, "We are especially excited for our new student-athletes that are just learning the sport, some of whom won first place in the Jack and Jill division."
FLCC fielded two Jack and Jill teams – which consisted of three men and three women, earning first (1364 points) and fifth place (1027 points) respectively. The Jack and Jill team's stemming from Alfred State College and the Ranger School of Wanakena, NY, placed second and third respectively last Saturday. Earning first place finishes for the FLCC Jack and Jill 1 team (in the singles events) were Brendaya Parsons (Penn Yan, NY) – axe throw, and Jonathan Davis (Livingston Manor, NY) – triathlon.
The Women's division hosted three teams competing against each other. SUNY ESF Women earned first place (1383 points) while SUNY Cobleskill (1299 points) and Paul Smiths College (1141) followed them with second and third place finishes respectively.
The FLCC Logging Sports Competition acted as a preparation run for the 67th Annual Spring Intercollegiate Woodsmen Competition, which is scheduled to take place on FLCC's campus on both April 19 and 20 of 2013. This 2-day event is the North East collegiate championship for all collegiate woodsmen teams. This event will be open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend.

It's become a burning question for New Zealand football fraternity - why have right-sided defenders become left right out?
It shouldn't be that difficult but over the past decade the All Whites' search for a right fullback has been far flung and fruitless.
It's a little like the Labour Party's quest for a leader since the departure of Helen Clark; you know there should be a suitable candidate but each search gets no closer to the perfect person.
Across the past decade at least a dozen men have been tried on the right side of defence, with no one able to make the position his own.
On the eve of the four nation tournament in Saudi Arabia nothing has changed, as converted winger Leo Bertos remains the favourite to undertake the defensive duties on the right side of defence.
It's an unusual situation. Imagine the All Blacks existing for years without a genuine left wing, or the Silver Ferns unable to unearth a wing attack.
It's been a constant source of frustration for coach Ricki Herbert, the one position he just can't nail.
"I've always said if someone can find me a right back just give me a call," says Herbert. "Give me a ring and tell me one that could come in, step up and lock that down."
Herbert has used a multitude of players in the position since 2005, including converted attackers such as Bertos and Jeremy Brockie as well as David Mulligan, Winston Reid, Aaron Scott, James Prichett and Jeremy Christie.
It's a stark contrast to the 1980s and 1990s, when New Zealand had an abundance of defenders. The 1982 World Cup team featured John Hill, Kenny Cresswell, Glen Dods, Glen Adam and Herbert among players who could play in the right fullback spot.
"In my era, it was probably completely the reverse," says Herbert. "We had a whole lot of defenders to choose from but we lacked depth in attacking positions.
"[At the moment], it's right through the game," adds Herbert, who often used makeshift right-sided defenders at the Phoenix. "At the end of the day, you have got what you have got, and you can choose what you can choose."
Chris Zoricich was our last established right back and he retired more than a decade ago. After his debut in 1988, he had a virtual monopoly on the position until 2003, winning the vast majority of his 77 caps (57 A internationals) on the right side.
"It seems like the mindset has changed among footballers in this country," says Zoricich. "There are not many that are defensive-minded and the ones that are end up as centre backs or defensive midfielders. Those who end up at fullback tend to be put there, just because they have the physical attributes and are less attack-minded."
In his formative years, all Zoricich wanted to do was to play at the back, hoping to emulate his heroes like Gisborne City's Richard Mulligan.
"I was always more defensive-minded," says Zoricich. "That was my first instinct and my No1 duty. Now it is the other way around."
Zoricich, who played at Leyton Orient as well as Brisbane and Newcastle in the old Australian NSL, wonders if it is also due to the modern mindset.
"People don't want to be responsible for mistakes," reasons Zoricich. "When you are a defender one mistake can be so costly - it can be a game changer - and maybe that puts people off."
The position has evolved significantly in the past decade. Brazilian stars Cafu and Roberto Carlos were the forerunners of the trend to attack from the back. Cafu was known for his constant overlapping runs, earning the nickname 'Il Pendolino' (The Express Train) during his long Serie A stint while Carlos was also a formidable attacker.
Since them players such as Glen Johnson, Patrice Evra and Leighton Baines have continued the trend.
The dearth of flank defenders prompted Herbert's switch to 3-4-3 formation just before the World Cup qualifiers with Bahrain in 2009, away from the traditional back four.
"If I hadn't made my mind up - and trust me, I was the only one who made my mind up, I'm not sure we would have qualified," says Herbert of the change to a central back three with wing backs. "That was a management decision and I was hellbent on making that change."
Four years on, the All Whites are no closer to having a conventional back four, even though it is the default formation for most of the top international and club sides.
"If the national team is going to be better in years to come - you are going to have to find those players," says Herbert. "Otherwise how can you compete at the sharp end of the game. We all have a responsibility to try and improve it."

Actually, as far as the ICG (International Costumers Guild) goes, many of their members consider "Masters" division to be a misnomer. It's actually more of an "Open Division"; being in it does not mean anyone is a "Master" (and what the heck defines a "Master", anyway?), it means your skill level is such that you can fairly compete against anyone in an open competition, even if you have perhaps not been costuming very long.
"Novice" and "Journeyman" categories are supposed to be there to provide a certain amount of protection for relative newbies (developing their skills) from having to compete against more experienced and/or more technically skilled costumers, particularly to give them encouragement to continue with costuming. If one is a newbie but very technically skilled, one should in theory advance to Open Division AKA "Masters" very quickly, because that's where one's skills belong.
The International Costumers Guild Masquerade guidelines (
) spell it out better than I can say here. These ARE supposed to be guidelines, not hard-and-fast rules, and subject to the interpretation of Masquerade directors. However, Masquerades which follow these guidelines do usually tend to end up with enough similarity to each other to make it less confusing to the participants.
How one advances is NOT set in stone, but often it's the "Best (workmanship or presentation) In (skill category)" that counts toward "moving up". Also someone competing at a "Journeyman" level at a smaller competition might still be able to enter at "Novice" at a large world-class competition where the average skill level may be much higher.

Senate Passes Resolution Apologizing for Slavery
June 18, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
Today, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution apologizing to African Americans for slavery and segregation. The resolution was introduced by Senator Tom Harkin, D. Iowa, and Senator Sam Brownback. R. Kan.
In the resolution, the Senate "expresses its recommitment to the principle that all people are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and calls on all people of the United States to work toward eliminating racial prejudices, injustices and discrimination from our society."
Wade Henderson, president and CEO of LCCR, said:
"Slavery and the western slave trade are crimes against humanity and will forever be known as our republic's original sin. A formal apology by the U.S. Congress for the dehumanization and racism wrought by both the enslavement of African Americans and for Jim Crow segregation will admittedly never right such a grave wrong, but it is an important first step in acknowledging its tortured legacy.
For almost a century after our civil war, African Americans endured numerous civil and human rights violations including lynchings, deprivation of the right to vote, and other forms disenfranchisement borne out of virulent racism.
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights commends Senators Harkin and Brownback for introducing a resolution that appropriately speaks to this past collective injustice. It represents an important advancement for civil and human rights, as well as for racial healing and reconciliation.
This Senate resolution – similar to one passed by the House last year – acknowledges the loss of human dignity and opportunity that continues to this day, and serves as a reminder for future generations that the evils of slavery and racial segregation can never be accepted again.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newby in the truest sense of the word; I started my very first hive this spring. I'm joining a beekeeping club in my area and just finished reading the Dummies Beekeeping book cover to cover. Besides my hive, I've toured a local beekeeper's hives...and that's the extent of my experience. (Unless eating lots of honey counts!)
Glad I found the forum, and looking forward to learning lots of new things!

Mainstream Media Bailout Bill Introduced.
The "Newspaper Revitalization Act" was introduced this week by Senator Benjamin Cardin, a Democrat from Maryland
The newspaper industry, owned and controlled by a hand full of giant media companies, has been reduced to an un-hired PR firm of the US government.

Media Propaganda Model' by Herman and Chomsky . (Snips)
Our Mainstream Media deserve to die .... !!!!!
... Media, according to this framework, do not have to be controlled nor does their behavior have to be patterned, as it is assumed that they are integral actors in class warfare, fully integrated into the institutional framework of society, and act in unison with other ideological sectors, i.e. the academy, to establish, enforce, reinforce and 'police' corporate hegemony. ...
... Mass media are instruments of power that 'mobilize support for the special interests that dominate the state and private activity' ...
... media personnel act in ways that effectively serve the interests of dominant elites ...
The crucial structural factors derive from the fact that the dominant media are firmly imbedded in the market system. ...
media content serves 'political interests', serves to 'mobilize' (or not) sympathetic emotion for
victims and outrage against victimizers, to divert public attention away from select news items and direct attention towards others....
The ideology process consists of the numerous methods through which members of the power elite attempt to shape the beliefs, attitudes and opinions of the underlying population. . . . Free and open discussion are claimed to be the hallmarks of the process, but past experience shows that its leaders will utilize deceit and violence in order to combat individuals and organizations which espouse attitudes and opinions that threaten the power and privileges of the ruling class. . . .

As an eating destination, the Akropolis is no Michelin-star contender, but if you're clubbing here or rocking out in the attached concert space, a Czech chicken curry may be just what you fancy. Or maybe a fried, battered mushroom as a vegetarian option? Whatever you choose, drown them out with beer and focus on the surrounding environment, a dining room designed by surrealist artists. The service is laid-back, to say the least.

In addition to advertising gang membership, tattoos provide other details about the bearer. For the incarcerated, images of chains and locks represent the loss of freedom; an hourglass or clock face without hands indicate doing time; a string of numbers may be an inmate's prison ID; one laughing face, one crying face means play now, pay later or my happy life, my sad life; a tombstone with numbers may indicate years of incarceration; the face of a female crying usually means someone on the outside is waiting for them. Caption information provided by POLICE gang expert Richard Valdemar.
FBI agents and Los Angeles police officers arrested at least eight of
those named in a racketeering indictment, officials said. Several
more of the 39 members and associates of the 18th Street Columbia Lil Cycos clique
were already in state and federal custody.
New York detective Ricky Smith has devoted his life to battling for control of the streets.
Professional and college teams' sportswear has become extremely popular with some gangs. Members wear sweatshirts or ballcaps to signify their gang. There are several reasons why gangs do this, and they're not all obvious.

Being halfway done with something can be a cause for celebration or a cause for concern. It can be seen as a moment of victory ("I'm halfway done with the race") or as a moment of sorrow ("I'm halfway done with this cake"). For music fans, the year's halfway point is usually a time to take stock of things—which is just a fancy way of saying make lists. Lots of lists. Since the year is only half-way through, these lists will be a little haphazard in nature and imprecise in design. Will we still be cranking that Youth Lagoon track in November? Will Autre Ne Veut's "Counting" still move us in December? Will we be able to listen to "Get Lucky" without murdering someone by the time New Year's Eve rolls around?
We're not sure. That's what makes these lists fun: We'll never be sure. But here's what we know: These are the songs we love (so far). Some of these tracks were pop smashes ("Blurred Lines") and some might melt your radio (thank you Pharmakon). Some will make you dance, while others will make you crawl into the fetal position and send text messages to someone you deleted from your phone. They are all essential. And they are all on a Spotify playlist below. Aren't you lucky.

I've been researching these cars lately and was really surprised that they are very possible to get for around 30k which is actually in my price range, but I am a little cautious. This would be my 3rd Caddy (2 CTS's). Is there any kind of major services that need to be done to the XLR at milestone mileges? And from your experiances is this a realistic daily driver? I dont care much about trunk space, my job is 3 miles away, Dont need a back seat, and I also have a 4wd work truck for when it snows (New York). But I would like to drive this 99% of the time... And what are some common problems to look out for?
I was also a little dissapointed to see that 0-60 times and 1/4mile time were almost identicle to my current 08 CTS. I would figure the XLR would be a rocket by the looks alone, and the 8cyl engine :/

Livestock Property Identification Codes (PICs)
The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia's system for the permanent identification and tracing of livestock for market access, food safety and disease control purposes.
What is a PIC?
A property identification code or PIC is an eight character code allocated by this department, or the equivalent authority in other states/territories, to identify a livestock producing property.
Victorian PICs begin with the numeral 3, followed by 4 letters and 3 more numerals, eg, 3ABCD123. The first 2 letters identify the municipality of the property.
Who should have a PIC?
If you have livestock you are required by law to have a PIC for the properties on which you graze livestock. Livestock are cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, camelids (as in alpacas or llamas) deer, horses or more than 100 poultry or 10 emus or ostriches. The term poultry in this instance refers to domesticated fowl, chickens, ducks, geese, turkey, guinea fowl, pigeons, quail or pheasants. All livestock businesses (saleyards, cattle scales, abattoirs, knackeries and stock agents) must also have a PIC. Horse owners running horses on their own property and owners of properties where horses are agisted are also required to have a PIC.
Some plant properties are also now required to have a PIC.
Property Identification Codes – Why?
The purpose of property identification is partly for tracing and controlling disease and residue problems that may be detected after leaving the farm, but also for locating properties and owners that have livestock when an outbreak of a disease that may threaten their enterprise is detected in an area. Traceability systems provide confidence to consumers in domestic and overseas markets that the products they buy are of good quality.
How can I apply for a PIC
There is no cost to apply for or update a PIC.
To apply for a PIC you have three options:
- Apply online.
- Download one of the application forms shown below.
- Contact the PIC Helpline on 1800 678 779 to have a form mailed or faxed to you.
Online option
You can apply for a PIC online via our Online PIC service.
You can also use the online service to update your existing PIC details if they have changed.
Application form
Application for a Livestock Property Identification Code (PIC) [MS Word Document - 92.8 KB]
You will need to supply on your application your name, address and other contact details, and also the council property number or rates assessment number of the property at which the livestock are to be kept (found on the rates assessment notice from the local council).
You must indicate on the form the livestock type and number of livestock which will be residing on the property.
Applicants will subsequently receive a credit-card style card which details their PIC through the mail, sent out each month.
What does an application cost?
There is no cost to apply for or receive a PIC.
What about agistment and lease properties?
PICs are allocated to a parcel of land that may consist of more than one block within the one locality, operating as part of one livestock enterprise. As long as the land on which the livestock are agisted and leased is in the same locality, ie in the same shire or in a neighbouring shire, then both blocks of land can be covered by the 'home' PIC.
For example Tom Jones owns 2 blocks of land separated by 10km. Both blocks are grazed by Tom's livestock and exist within the one shire. One 'home' PIC covers both blocks of land as Tom listed the 2 blocks on the PIC application.
Contact the NLIS hotline and follow 'how to apply for a PIC' to cover agistment or leased land within the same locality to the 'home' PIC.

Some guys just play this game better then others, regardless of anything measurable wise u can put down.. Maybe Mathieu is one of them...
SIAP but the dude said he stopped counting after failing 10 drug tests at LSU... Don't want him.
2017 Mock Draft (Pre-combine / FA):
Rd 1: OJ Howard (TE, Alabama)
Rd 2: Tanoh Kpassagnon (DE, Villanova)
Rd 3: Antonio Garcia (OT, Troy)
Rd 4: Samaje Perine (RB, Oklahoma)
Rd 5: Davis Webb (QB, Cal)
Rd 6: Ahkello Witherspoon (CB, Colorado)
Rd 7: DJ Jones (DT, Ole Miss)
Mathieu was never a man corner. He wasn't even a corner at all. He was a rover in the LSU system which is a hybrid LB/safety position. It is also a position that does not line up in the same spots or have the same responsibility every play, making it very difficult to avoid by opposing QBs. His job was to undercut routes, play zone, blitz, contain......in other words, you never knew where he was going to be.
It is not a good comparison.
The Steve Brown example is a good 1 tho as nobody threw away from his side.

Magic and Loss
What if the Wildstorm universe had its own Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman?
Apparently, it almost did.
Issue ten opens in the Four Voyager's lab, the one Planetary discovered back in issue six. Snow is there, along with a surprisingly large number of Planetary staff, looking through the relics and technology left behind after the Four abandoned the location. Three items, drawing the scrutiny of some of the team, are recognizable to us as a power battery (lantern), (super) cape, and golden bracelets very much like the ones belonging to the above-mentioned DC heroes. We are quickly treated to retellings of their respective origins.
The origins don't stray too far from the core elements of the original tales, but Ellis does manage to put his own spin on them. To the Superman origin, he adds a greater degree of distance between our species and the alien one, and an added irony that the act of sending the infant on its way is ultimately the trigger to the destruction of the (already doomed) world. The Green Lantern origin, while seeming to pull elements from the Tangent universe project with which DC has been experimenting, is in many ways fairly faithful to the old Green Lantern Corps concept. It seems like the character portrayed is more in the Abin Sur role (the alien who gave his ring to Hal Jordan) than as Hal himself, but this would be a logical first step and wholly appropriate for the timeframe in which these origin flashbacks take place, presumably the early sixties. The Wonder Woman segment seemed most true to the DC version in some ways, but showed the Amazons with greater awareness of their role in the world and with greater technology (just what are those bracelets capable of?!?).
After the origins are laid out, we spend a mere two pages on the meant-to-be-heroes' deaths. Leather torches the infant alien in its ship, we see Dr. Dowling performing a battery-removal autopsy on the Lantern, and we hear him describe his plans to have Suskind assassinate the Amazon the moment she leaves the island (an event which we can assume came to pass).
While not truly privy to the details of these events, Snow seems to somehow sense the magnitude of the loss represented by these relics, echoing his outrage back in issue six. He concludes that he needs to stop waiting for something to happen with the Four Voyagers and decides to go on the offensive. He leaves the scene to see a man named John Stone.
Ellis' goals this issue were twofold. The first was to remind the reader of the magic and wonder behind the origins of these heroic icons (see the Main page for Warren's thoughts on this in their entirety). The second was to graphically illustrate the evil of the Four Voyagers and their impact on the world. Safe to say he succeeded on both counts.
The origins themselves were in many ways very similar to the ones we've all become so familiar with over the years. Unlike some of Ellis' other takes on the JLA (more on this below), these tales were very reverent of the original material. This seems indicative of the vast potential that these concepts had, and how much Ellis still thinks could be done with them today. The furthest Ellis veered away from the icons we have come to know was in the Wonder Woman analog, as her powers seemed based in either science or mysticism (hard to say which, based solely on that gorgeous page with the bracelets becoming a multitude of weapons) instead of the gods of Greek/Roman mythology. Still, this origin gave us the closest look at the characters' personalities, "Diana's" and "Hypollita's," which were very consistent with the mainstream continuity of the last several decades (although with a greater intelligence and awareness than has been the norm!). Even this tweaking, however, points out the vitality of the original notions; with very little alteration, these concepts would be viable as new ideas today.
This is the third time, that I'm aware of, that Ellis has given us his spin on some or all of the JLA; this is itself a testament to the power of the original concepts. The first was back during his run on Stormwatch, with the covert team created by Henry Bendix that gave us Apollo and the Midnighter (see current issues of the Authority for more of these two, with the referenced storyline available in the Stormwatch TPB, "A Finer World"). That team had analogs to Superman (Apollo), Batman (Midnighter), Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Black Canary, and Martian Manhunter. The second was here in the pages of Planetary, back in issue one, when Doc Brass and his team faced a group that mirrored the JLA's Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter lineup. An elements of this last version of the JLA was repeated in one of the three heroes covered here in issue ten. The Superman-esque creature Brass faced off against in issue one could have been a more muscular version of the alien race we saw send their infant to earth this issue.
The version created by Henry Bendix, Sormwatch's Weatherman, may have an actual link to the one seen this issue. We hear Dowling talk of selling the lantern to Bendix, who was "...in the market for something like this." While the lantern here differs in style from the one used in Stormwatch, this would still seem to be a strong potential link. (The difference in appearance could be nothing more than the style of the artist drawing it; Green Lantern's power battery has historically changed without explanation, either a little or a lot, as different artists have handled the title.) And while there's nothing in either text to support it, one could even speculate that the hidden installation Bendix' JLA attacked could have been one belonging to the Four Voyagers; I don't think its existence was ever adequately explained in Stormwatch. That, coupled with the fact that five of the seven members of the assault team were killed in the encounter, means the owners of the installation were powerful indeed, Four-Voyagers-powerful. This link strengthens both the sense of continuity in the Wildstorm universe and the core notion that this universe almost had the same archetypal heroes found in the DCU.
But they were snuffed out by the Four Voyagers. It's easy to read a great deal into this, and on many levels. The surface of it all is the raw villainy of the Four. Leather's casual, matter-of-course execution of the alien child was a strong statement, reinforced by the infantile bickering he engaged in with Dowling over the incident. The childish "did not, did too" quality of the argument, with so little thought to the murder, was chilling. The defeat, interrogation, and autopsy of the Blue Lantern had an evil-Nazi-scientist quality that was equally unsettling. In keeping with the Four's intention to go about their business unmolested, they apparently executed the Amazon just as she left her homeland, an act so simple and meaningless that it was left off-panel to emphasize its import to the Four (or they just ran out of pages. But either way...). The story as a whole continues to build the image of the Four Voyagers as a truly unstoppable, frightening force for evil.
The next level of interpretation is to liken the Four Voyagers to the hidden heads of the comic industry, embodied here by Dowling and Leather, handling the executions like business as usual... like the "big business" of comics today, killing good new ideas in their infancy, exhuming old, dead-tired plot lines, and striking out at the "ambassadors" before they have a chance to change the status quo. (Some of these actions, they'll be quick to point out, are determined by the marketplace. Some of the responsibility for this that you, personally, would ordinarily bear is a bit mitigated by the fact that your a Planetary fan. At least I try to comfort myself with that thought....)
Still another avenue for interpretation could be to liken the Four's destruction of the two aliens and an Amazon to Marvel's 1960's domination of the market, with it's creativity and spark almost completely overshadowing the retread work of DC's Silver Age. Marvel was busy creating the Fantastic Four, Spiderman, and the X-Men while DC was trying to revamp their Golden Age by updating Flash and Green Lantern, with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman continuing largely unchanged, the same as they had been for over a decade. While I personally am a fan of the Silver Age output at DC, it's hard to deny the impact Marvel had in the sixties and the domination of the market they enjoyed right up until the mid-nineties as a result.
If there's any silver lining to this issue as far as the Planetary team is concerned, it has to be the mounting evidence that the Four are, quite simply, much too overconfident for their own good. Their cavalier execution of a member of a galactic police force, their decision to leave the island of Amazons alone (after killing their ambassador), and the sloppiness with which they handled the recovery of a downed alien ship and its living cargo show a team that feels as though they are truly untouchable. And the proactive quality of the execution of the Wonder Woman analog does not reflect their recent, even more overconfident decisions. They've let the Planetary field team live ("...because it amuses us"?!?) and maintain possession of a quantum computer, a shiftship, and now an alien power battery and some technologically advanced bracelets. The fact that they may not even be aware that Planetary has these items in its possession is another sign that they may be fallible, and therefore beatable.
Okay, I'm reaching a bit here, but you've got to admit that without looking at it this way, ain't no way to account for Planetary even having a shot at beating the Four!
There were some other interesting points raised this issue, but we weren't given much to go on to interpret or speculate. Dowling mentions an "old friend" whose 1949 "planetary guide" helped tip the Four Voyagers off to the existence of the Amazons--who could this have been? Planetary's fourth man? An analog of a character from the Fantastic Four's mythos? And Dowling's acquaintance with Henry Bendix implies a high degree of association with the American military/industrial complex. Do the Four control it? Or are they so far above it that they are largely uninterested in its actions?
One point is becoming clear, though. Leather's characterization of the actions of the Four (back in issue six) as a "human adventure," to which the rest of us "aren't invited" made the Four seem like gods walking the earth. But the more we see of them, the more they seem to embody much of the childishness, shortsightedness, and selfishness that makes them not only human, but poor examples of the species at that. Great power has given them nothing but great power; they are not advanced beings, and are more than human only as measured by power. They are almost like the gods of Greek or Roman mythology, whose human dispositions and behaviors made them fallible and made it possible to trick or even defeat them.
Questions Raised
When are we going to meet the last two members of the Four Voyagers, and what are their powers? What became of the rest of the Amazons? Did the galactic police force notice one of their number has gone missing, and will they come investigating? How can both Planetary and the Four maintain so many employees (i.e., the Planetary recovery teams and the Four's military forces) and still somehow retain their anonymity? Who wrote the "planetary guide?" Will Planetary ever use the artifacts they've been amassing as weapons/tools to further their goals?

One Day Left: Will Woody Jenkins Pay His Taxes This Year?
Tomorrow is tax day – will this be the year career politician Woody Jenkins pays his taxes on time?
"Woody Jenkins has been late to pay his taxes almost
every year since 1990 – will this be the year he decides to follow the law?"
Since 1990, Jenkins has had at least 20 tax liens totaling more than $340,000 filed against his company for a failure to pay taxes on time. The vast majority of the liens were prompted by Jenkins' failure to pay employee withholding tax, including his employees' income tax to the federal government.

Hi everyone,
I am 41 and a father with 3 kids. I used to DM in highschool and college. Played during law school (but did not DM). Had kids and missed gaming for 10 years (although I did play WoW, EQ LOTRO, and SWG). I'm back to paper and pen via virtual tables (as it is impossible to find a local group and my wife would throw a fit that I was out of the house, again) -- and looking for similarly type players.
I am working on the following type of campaign using the Pathfinder ruleset.
--Weekly games (Friday night 9pm to midnight EST)
--Ideal party size 4-6
--Looking for one-year committment.
--Set in PathFinder's Inner Sea Campaign Setting
--Will include parts of existing Pathfinder adventure paths (such as kingmaker) and original content
--Fantasty Ground 2 (I have the ultimate license so you dont need to but it) and Teamspeak (audio-only)
--Epic story taking characters from level 1 to 20 over 52 gaming sessions.
--20 point build, racial traits ok, any race fine, any skill fine, any class fine-- anything 3.5 or PF ok.
--No magic items to start with as you build character.
--Any standard equipment can be added for free at level 1.
--Characters start with 150 gold.
--Characters that plan on going prestige classes fine--- no limits on the PF and 3.5 specializations and prestige classes
--No evil characters. Chaotic good and neutral ok. but neutral good and above prefered. Players are supposed to be the heroes
--Characters will come from humble beginnings, initially clearing small dungeons as lowly adventurers. Over time bigger and more complex stories and plots involving factions and kingdoms are introduced. Characters will continue to do dungeons but with goals and objectives tying into broader plots. Ultimately, the PCs will be involved in saving the world from impending doom.
--Adventures will be dungeons, towns, caves, tombs, outdoors, wilderness, castles, forts, ocean and underwater (not likely to have planes).
--Magic and magic items are rare and awe-inspiring.
--Fantasy story telling and plot will be similar to Terry Goodkind writings in The Sword of Truth Series.
--Enemies will not always be monsters, and monsters will not always be enemies.
--Emphasis on roleplaying and story telling
--Dialogue and problem solving heavily rewarded.
--Oh, there will be combat!
--Mature players sought--ideal those who like to roleplay via teamspeak (audio-only). We do want players that are respectful to give everyone a turn to speak.
--While the campaign is serious in nature, humor plays a part and intelligent humor desired and welcomed (like the PAX 2011 Celebrity games on youtube).
--I would prefer that players use Herolab to create and update their characters.
If you have an interest in this type of campaign, please let me know or visit the recruiting link https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16359 .

Tuesday Morning Ekes Out Net Sales, Comp Increases
May 16, 2013,
Net sales in the quarter, ended March 31, increased 3.1% to $178.1 million from $172.7 million a year ago, and comparable stores sales rose 2.8%, comprised of 1.4% increases in both average ticket and in customer traffic.
However, due to $4.8 million in non-recurring charges related to severance costs and legal, consulting and recruitment expenses, the company suffered a net loss in the quarter of $12.4 million, or 29 cents per share. Excluding these nonrecurring charges, the company reported a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $4.8 million or11 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or 10 cents per share in the same period last year.
"Tuesday Morning's third quarter results show improvement in the top-line as evidenced by increases in both customer traffic and average ticket," said Michael Rouleau, interim ceo of the 829-unit closeout retailer. "Although there is still a great deal of work to be done, we have now realigned our entire organization to focus on the company's key priorities with the objective of returning to profitability and providing a great store experience for our customers."
Year-to-date results included: a 3.2% increase in net sales to $636.2 million from $616.4 million a year-ago period; a 3.7% gain in comps, comprised of a 3.7% increase in average ticket and flat traffic; and a net loss was $40.8 million or 97 cent loss per share compared to net income of $5.9 million or 14 cents per share.
Regarding the latter, the company explained it was "significantly impacted" in the nine-month period by a non cash charge of $41.8 million for the write-down of inventory and $11.7 million in charges related to store cleanup, severance costs, and legal, consulting, search and recruitment expenses, as well as a reduced effective tax rate due to recording a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $10.8 million.

The 1953 ascent of Everest by the nation's favourite son, Sir Edmund Hillary, is being turned into a 3-D movie.
The feature-length film, Beyond the Edge, is being made by Auckland's General Film Corporation, and produced by Matthew Metcalfe, whose credits include Dean Spanley and Love Birds.
Hillary's conquest of Everest remains one of the great adventure stories, and the film will cover his journey from modest beginnings to overcoming his own demons to conquer the world's highest peak.
"It's an honour to produce a film about one of our greatest heroes, and, with a team of world-class film-makers and technicians, bring it to the big screen," Metcalfe said. "It will be breathtaking in 3D."
It was written and directed by Leanne Pooley, who made The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls and also directed Shackleton's Captain. She said the chance to work on Beyond the Edge was a gift.
"Like the conquest itself, Beyond the Edge will pound a stake in the ground, establishing once and for all that Hillary's triumph wasn't just a huge accomplishment, but an epic story that helped define a nation. It's my goal to take every Kiwi on a journey up the mountain on an adventure that will remind them of what it is that makes us who we are."
Beyond the Edge will focus on the climb itself. While the world acknowledges Hillary and Tenzing Norgay "knocked the bastard off", few people know the details of how, or understand the relatively primitive tools (by today's standards) available to them.
"They carried the hopes and dreams of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the people of the Himalayas, and the entire British Empire on their shoulders," Pooley said. "As the world slowly recovered from the horrors of World War II, their efforts allowed people everywhere to believe a new age was dawning."
The project has the blessing of the Hillary family. Sir Ed's son Peter said from Nepal he was looking forward to being at the premiere. "At last a chance to tell Ed Hillary's Mt Everest story. I'm delighted that story is finally coming to New Zealand screens."
Casting director Liz Mullane (The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit) is charged with finding a New Zealand actor to play Hillary, and the production designer is Grant Major, an Academy Award winner for his work on Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The New Zealand Film Commission has invested in association with NZ On Air's Platinum Fund, Digifilm, TVNZ and RialtoDistribution, which will release the film in New Zealand and Australia next year.

Explore this section to learn more about Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), how the condition is diagnosed, and methods of preventing recurrence.
HE is a brain disorder, and one of the major complications of cirrhosis. There are two classifications for HE: mild and overt. The symptoms of mild HE are subtle and overlooked often by patients and family members. Overt HE is often marked by physical and mental symptoms such as confusion and issues with balance, and is a long-term, recurring condition.
Did You Know It's a Really Important Organ?
In fact, it's the second largest one in your body and is located right under your rib cage on your right side. It weighs about three pounds and is shaped like a football that's flat on one side.
It performs many jobs. Your liver processes what you eat and drink into energy and nutrients your body uses and filters out harmful substances from your blood.

Got this in my April box and I absolutely loved it! I have really dry skin, and it really hydrated my skin and left it feeling silky smooth. I already have some anti-aging products that I use, but will definitely consider this one in the future.5

Unfortunately we've made the mistake of signing a lease through Fletchers Greensborough and have received nothing but contempt and poor service. Slow, inaccurate or no responses to maintenance requests, missleading advertisement (online ad said freshly painted - reality is holes are patched and walls are filthy, and also said heating just installed - actually happened several weeks after we signed the lease and we moved in during the peak of winter) and appalling quality service in general. The initial inspection photos were taken in the dark, half an hour before we were due to meet her at her office (she was late) to collect the keys, with the curtains drawn - even though the power was connected! As a result, most of them look like the photos your phone accidentally takes in the bottom of your bag!
I requested a change in the date of an inspection so I could be home to prevent our rather devious indoor cats from escaping and received a flat-out no. Their justification for denying it is that it is their legal entitlement to come when they specify and on that basis they don't have to vary the date on request. When I remarked to the manager that it seemed unreasonable that they not extend this courtesy given our poor experiences, he simply said he didn't know the details but it was probably the landlord's fault! No offer to follow up, no interest and certainly no courtesy or professional respect.
As a tenant you will find that there are agents who treat you as a human and there are agents who treat you with contempt. These are the latter. There are plenty of great agents in the area so they really are doing themselves a disservice. Tenants can become landlords and tenants have peer networks. Experiences shape your future decisions and I will certainly never again use Fletchers, nor shall I encourage anyone else to in any context.
This is entirely based on my experience and you should always assess agents for yourself. Communicate in writing, keep copies of everything and always be aware of your legal rights - they know theirs and will enforce them!
"If you are looking for the perfect agent I would highly recommend Dani Scanlon"…
"Gabriele has been a great property manager over the last few years. She is"…
"Inspection was done on the Mornington Peninsula - Professional, easy going &"…

JOHN LENNON: Letter to Slowhand Sells for $35,000
The letter John Lennon wrote to Eric Clapton in 1971 has sold at auction for $35,000.
In the one-page letter, Lennon wrote, "Eric, I know I can bring out something great, in fact greater in you that had been so far evident in your music. I hope to bring out the same kind of greatness in all of us, which I know will happen if/when we get together."
Clapton and Lennon were already friends at that point -- Eric played in the 1969 edition of The Plastic Ono Band. And of course, he also recorded with The Beatles, having played on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on The White Album.

"The Cute Factor" — Testing the Sabotagesby Maria Russo in Shows, August 24th, 2014
The mini kitchen is no stranger to Cutthroat Kitchen, as chefs have been asked to work in kid-size constraints challenge after challenge. But on tonight's all-new episode, Alton Brown unveiled a different tiny tool capable of doling out similar great trials during the Round 3 chocolate cake test: the toy stand mixer. Would this kid-friendly apparatus consisting of little more than a short, hand-powered wooden whisk and a shallow plastic bowl be enough to serve as a chef's sole means of mixing? After all, to make chocolate cake, a competitor would need to be able to incorporate both wet and dry ingredients.
Before Alton auctioned off this doozy of a sabotage, Cutthroat Kitchen's culinary team tested on the mixer to make sure it was indeed possible to execute within the contest, and Chelsey, a food stylist on set, wondered, "Does the cute factor, you think, count as extra points for this challenge?"
Click the play button on the video above to see the test in action, and learn how the mixer earned an "approved" rating.
Tune in to a brand-new episode of Cutthroat Kitchen on Sunday at 10|9c.

Honors in Art
Departmental honors programs offer students the opportunity to do an independent research, critical, or creative project on a topic of the student's choice.
An applicant must have and maintain a minimum overall GPA of at least 3.00, and a minimum GPA in the major within the department of 3.25. Exceptions to these minimum standards may be made but students thus admitted will be considered to have only probationary status.
Written applications for admission must be submitted to the department chair who will, after review, refer them to the chair of the department Honors Committee.
Students may apply for admission between the fourth and sixth semesters.
Honors Program Committee
This committee, comprised of three area coordinators, will, in the presence of the candidate, evaluate the project for honors. The final grade for the project is the sole responsibility of the faculty member(s) guiding the candidate.
The student shall undertake a substantial piece of directed art work or research in a two-semester, six-credit independent study course (ART 490 or 491) taken, normally, during the student's last two semesters. A detailed description of the proposal must be submitted on the standard independent study form the semester before the program is to begin. Due dates for proposals must comply with those set by the College Honors Program.
The advisor(s) will give the student their individual guidelines for the specific honors project. A copy of these guidelines must accompany the student's application.
The project should encourage, when applicable, the student's use of galleries, museums, libraries and archives in the geographic area.
The student's advisor(s) will meet with the student regularly through both semesters to discuss and evaluate the work in progress.
The completed project will be presented by the student to the department Honors Committee, which will evaluate the work for honors in the presence of the student. Questions, responses and general discussion are required.
The student shall give the Art Department a copy of the approved completed project. Written projects should be inexpensively bound; studio projects should be recorded by slides placed in plastic holders in an appropriate cover.
Students whose GPA falls below 3.00 shall be dismissed from the program, as will those failing to complete the project on time. Appeals for reinstatement may be made to the department Honors Committee and to the Department Chair.
Students whose completed projects are not accepted for honors shall receive six elective credits in Art 490 or 491. Those finishing only one semester in the program may appeal to the department Honors committee for up to three elective credits.

Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Dates
Trendy bistros offer a pre-dinner amuse-bouche, literally "amuse the mouth," to hint at the alluring meal to come. Try adopting this practice at your dinner party with these plump, flavor-packed bites. Your guests will thank you. The next two slides offer tips for working with dates.
5 of 20
Step 1: Removing Date Pits
To remove date pits, use a paring knife to make a lengthwise slit along each date. Remove the pit with the knife tip. The next slide shows how to stuff the dates for the Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Date recipe.
6 of 20
Step 2: Stuffing Dates
After removing the date pits like in Step 1, spoon cheese mixture into dates so they are very full. Place stuffed dates, filling sides up, on a baking sheet.

Mediterranean Lamb Chops
This rustic yet refined main course costs a fraction of its bistro price tag when you create it at home.
8 of 20
Classic Risotto with Peas
This classic Italian starter is worth all the extra effort. Just keep a watchful eye on the rice after each addition of broth, stir it often, and you're guaranteed fabulous results. The next four slides walk you through some of the recipe's basic steps.
9 of 20
Step 1: Adding Rice
After sauteing the onion and garlic until tender, add the uncooked rice. The next slide shows how to cook the rice.
10 of 20
Step 2: Cooking Rice
After completing Step 1, use a wooden spoon to stir the rice during cooking until the rice is golden brown. The next slide details the process of adding broth to the rice mixture.
11 of 20
Step 3: Adding Broth
After cooking the rice mixture, stir some of the hot broth into the saucepan. Add it carefully since the pan will be very hot and the contents will sizzle. In the next slide, we show you a final step in preparing risotto.
12 of 20
Step 4: Mixing Risotto
After adding the last of the broth and the vegetables, stir while cooking until the rice is just tender, but still creamy. Try one of our four risotto variations found in the complete Classic Risotto with Peas recipe.
13 of 20
Caramelized Acorn Squash
Apple cider and baking spices add a classic bistro touch to candied squash in this rich side dish.
14 of 20
Show up any restaurant dessert tray with this irresistible homemade cheesecake. The next four slides reveal our secrets to mastering this crowd-pleasing final course.
15 of 20
Step 1: Creating the Crust
First, pour the crumb mixture into the springform pan. Firmly press it over the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Make sure the crust has an even thickness. Next, Step 2 shows you how to perfect your Cheesecake filling.
16 of 20
Step 2: Finishing Filling
Stir the beaten eggs into the filling until it's smooth and looks uniform. Learn to prepare a water bath for the cheesecake, or as the French call it, a "bain-marie."
17 of 20
Step 3: Preparing the Bath
A water bath keeps the cheesecake from cracking or curdling. Place the roasting pan on your oven rack before pouring in the water. There's less chance you'll slosh the water. Finally, the next slide shows what you do when you're ready to remove your cake from the oven.
18 of 20
Step 4: Removing the Cake
After baking and cooling your cheesecake, run a small thin knife between the crust and the pan to loosen the cake before releasing the sides of the pan. For more tips and must-try cheesecake variations, check out the Cheesecake recipe.

When he announced that he was going to test the waters, it was clear that Anderson wanted to find out that he was ready to make the jump. That is apparently what he heard from a series of workouts. He was seen by Orlando, Toronto, Boston, Indiana, Cleveland and Detroit, and at a mass workout conducted by Golden State. He said, "They're telling me, Ryan you're an NBA player. I feel like I'm ready and I should make that jump."
It wasn't easy to do. Anderson went back and forth, and indicated that the hiring of Mike Montgomery made the decision harder. Anderson also indicated that he would really miss his friends on the team. But, this was a basketball decision: "I realized if I went back to Cal I would be going back because it would be something that is comfortable and something that I know I would be right back in the system there. I would be with all my buddies."
Anderson did not get the first round guarantee that he was hoping for, and recognized that he could drop into the second round. He indicated that he was comfortable with that scenario. He still believes that he will fall somewhere between the 15th and 30th spot in the June 26 draft.
Anderson believes that Cal will be an excellent team next year. He mentioned Harper Kamp, Jamal Boykin, Taylor Harrison and Max Zhang as possibly filling the void up front. He believes that the Cal backcourt will be much improved: "Montgomery is going to know how to control everybody on the team and control everyone's motives on the team and get everybody on the same page."
If he had returned to Cal, Anderson may have found himself playing the role that he was in for much of his freshman season once DeVon Hardin went down with an injury. By default, he ended up at the 5 spot. Mike Montgomery may not have said that would be the case, but it is clear that Cal's new coach believes in putting his five best players on the floor. Up front, that would have been Anderson, Theo Robertson, and either Boykin or Kamp.
Anderson believes that his role in the NBA will be on the perimeter, as a "big guy that can shoot." He has been told that he will be a pick and pop guy in the pros. He certainly would have had those opportunities at Cal, but he also would have been the primary rebounder had he returned. He would have been the tallest player, and may have found himself defending the post at times.
The biggest question marks around Anderson are his strength and quickness. Can he defend on the perimeter? As he himself said, he's not going to become a freak athlete. He can work on his body and his footwork, but his offensive skills are apparent to the NBA people. Those skills mesh with the direction of the league. With the opportunity there, this is as good a time as any for him to make the move. Another year at Cal would probably not improve his draft position. It's not good news for Cal's prospects for 2008-09, but it's the right choice for Anderson and his family.
