"We've been successful in some important areas, including enrolling more first-time full-time freshmen, which is in keeping with our ongoing efforts to increase the college-going rate in Nebraska," NU President J.B. Milliken said. He added, "The fall enrollment figures show some encouraging trends, including increases in non-resident students and in the number of graduate and professional students university-wide. However, the total increase of less than one percent clearly reflects a need to strengthen our efforts in recruiting and retaining students."
With the governor's leadership, the university and others in education, government and the private sector are partnering to develop strategies to increase Nebraska's college-going rate. Nebraska ranks 17th in the U.S. in the percentage of high school graduates who go on to college (58.8 percent) – despite being ranked 5th in high school graduation rates (83.8 percent)*. "Nebraska's future depends on an educated workforce," Milliken said, "As the state's demographics change, it will become increasingly important for the university to ensure affordable access to a quality education for all Nebraskans."

Penguins notebook: Special teams keep hot streaks alive
Seconds after the Penguins scored their 11th power-play goal in their last 10 games, coach Mike Sullivan offered his players a round of applause.
Special teams play, an area of struggle that contributed to Mike Johnston's firing in mid-December, continues to shape into a cause for celebration under Sullivan. The power play's seven-game, 0-for-19 slump that spanned the end of Johnston's tenure and the start of Sullivan's has given way to an 11-for-32 stretch in the last 10 games. And the penalty kill, which fared well under Johnston, looks even better under its new coach after killing opponents' last 25 man-advantage opportunities.
Sullivan's shut-down specialists will see if they can sustain their penalty-kill streak Tuesday against Carolina, the team with the most recent power-play goal against the Penguins.
"Those guys, I think they've really embraced and took pride in that role and how important it is to helping us win," Sullivan said.
Patric Hornqvist and Evgeni Malkin again served as crucial cogs in the power-play effort Saturday. Malkin, responsible for nine power-play points since Dec. 19, zipped a puck from one corner to the other to earn a secondary assist. Hornqvist, whose third power-play goal since Dec. 19 tied Malkin for the most during the span, buried a quick pass from Phil Kessel, who earned his fourth point (one goal, three assists) in five games.
"They catch me a little bit off guard," Hornqvist said of the feed from Kessel. "But I could get it on my backhand and then tap it in, so great play by Phil."
Bennett update
Winger Beau Bennett, out since suffering an upper-body injury during a home game against Washington on Dec. 14, has made progress in his recovery, but a timeline for his return remains variable, Sullivan said.
The diagnosis of Bennett's injury initially called for him to miss 4 to 6 weeks.
"From my understanding, he's on time with that process," Sullivan said. "I don't think he's far off, but he's not to the point yet where he's a day-to-day decision.
"I've never been a big believer in time frames, because I think you set yourself up for disappointment, because everybody reacts differently to injuries."
Clendening returns
The Penguins on Sunday recalled defenseman Adam Clendening from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where the 23-year-old appeared in six games.
Clendening, sent down on a conditioning assignment, finished as a plus-4 with three assists during his stint with the Baby Pens.
Last in the Penguins' lineup Dec. 19 against Carolina, Clendening has appeared in nine games with the NHL club. He had one assist, 10 penalty minutes, 11 shots on goal and 21 shot attempts in 118 minutes of ice time.
Boost for Bonino?
Flanked by Baby Pens call-ups Tom Kuhnhackl and Bryan Rust for the first time in his career, center Nick Bonino put together one of his best performances of the season Saturday in a 3-1 win in Montreal.
He tied a season high with four shots on goal and earned the assist on the game-winning goal.
The Bonino-Kuhnhackl-Rust line also held the Canadiens to a far lower number of five-on-five shot attempts than the Penguins' other lines.
"They came up, and they played hard," Bonino said of his linemates. "I think that was our biggest thing, make sure we were responsible, and I think we did that."
With his linemates frequently changing during December, Bonino had just four assists in the month. For a center who averaged at least one assist per 60 minutes each of the past four seasons, the lack of goals to come from his passes puzzled.
His assists per 60 minutes rate sat at 0.6 entering Saturday's game.

Crowbar's roots can be traced back almost as far back as Roly Greenway's career. Greenway first played guitar in The Centurys (1958) who were based in Guelph and featured Ed Dameron (bass), Rick Cassolato (drums), Glenn Higgins (sax) and an unidentified drummer. Greenway would then go on to perfrom in Joe Pino & The Starlites (1962), and The Ascots (1963). It was in the Ascots that he met guitarist Rheal Lanthier and the two played the Vegas lounge circuit for two years with the likes of Liberace and Zsa Zsa Gabor. The band broke up from sheer boredom and returned to Canada where Greenway joined Bobby Curtola's touring band.
In 1967, Greenway reformed the band with Lanthier as the New Ascot Revue where they recruited Kelly Jay, piano player/vocalist, and world renowned harmonica player Richard Newell aka King Biscuit Boy. Newell had gotten his nickname during his tenure playing on and off with Ronnie Hawkins. Hawkins had asked Newell to assemble a new band so he grabbed the New Ascots plus Richard Bell (keyboards), John Gibbard (guitar) and Larry Atamaniuk (drums) to create the latest version of Hawkins' band called ...And Many Others.
Hawkins took the band to some of the most prestigious venues in rock including the Filmore East playing on a bill with the likes of Joe Cocker, Johnny Winter, and Mountain. However, as was Hawkins' unpredictability, in 1970 while at the Grange Tavern in Hamilton, Hawkins came into the bar and fired the whole band exclaiming: "You guys are so crazy you could f*ck up a crowbar in three seconds!". And thus a band, and a band name, was born.
The act resumed with a slight personnel change - Sonnie Bernardi replaced Atamaniuk on drums and Jozef Chirowski replaced Bell on keyboards. Along with King Biscuit Boy, Crowbar cut the 'Official Music' album on credit from Terry Brown and Doug Riley's Toronto Sound production facility. It was the first Daffodil Records release July 13, 1970. Critics were unanimous in their appraisal of the band. The ensemble toured with their most memorable performance at the Strawberry Fields Rock Festival near Toronto in the summer of 1970. In late 1970, King Biscuit Boy and Crowbar parted ways - he to write material for the 'Gooduns' album; they to prepare for the debut album 'Bad Manors'.
Within three months, the international release of the album again garnered critical acclaim from magazines such as Creem and Rolling Stone. Crowbar was the first act to launch a record in the legislation era (a law designating the implementation of 30% mandatory Canadian content by all radio stations) with the single "Oh, What A Feeling".
The song was also featured on the live album recorded at Massey Hall, 'Larger Than Life', which was certified gold within 3 weeks of its release. Unfortunately, due to the drug connotation to lyrics in "Oh, What A Feeling", the tune failed to gain airplay in the United States. It did do well in England, however.
As part of Pierre Trudeau's bid to gain the youth vote, his wife Margaret Trudeau (who was a Crowbar fan) asked the band to become the opening act of Trudeau's re-election campaign in 1972. With rallies in such venues as Maple Leaf Gardens, Trudeau won the campaign and Crowbar became a household name. However, their popularity also spawned the need to incorporate and hire industry people to handle their affairs under the management of Martin Onrot.
While Daffodil Records was negotiating a new distribution with A & M Records, Crowbar was lured away by Clive Davis to join Columbia Records in New York and signed to their affiliate Epic Records. Their debut album for the label, 'Million Dollar Weekend', was produced by Jack Richardson (Guess Who) fledgling production apprentices Jack Douglas and Bob Ezrin.
A second album for Epic was released in 1974, but the failure to have any sizable commercial success led the band to officially split up later that year.
After several years in other personal projects, the members re-united (with the exception of Chirowski who had joined the Alice Cooper Band) with two new members - Ray Harrison (keyboards) and Rick Birkett (bass) - for a winter tour in 1977-78 following which the band split up once more. Kelly Jay would go on to have an intermittent solo career; Roly Greenway was in the band Next briefly in 1976; Ray Harrison co-founded Shooter who released one album on GRT.
Fast forward to 1996 and the original Crowbar reunited without Kelly Jay for some good time revival shows. With Kelly Jay flying in for gigs in recent years, Crowbar occasionally plays event shows when they can.

Throwback Thursday – Strippers in the Hawk's Nest [PHOTO]
Let's go back to 2006. The Hawk's Nest was up in Ocean, NJ and we decided to bring Strippers from Fantasies Gentleman's Club into the studio. Why? "Why not" is my answer.
Actually we brought Strippers in twice that year. The first time was in January where we had them play "Twister". The second time was in October. We had girls come in once again to play Foosball. Why? I'm going to stick with my original answer…."Why Not". Actually we played Foosball to give away a "Guy's Night Out".
In any event, here's Strippers/Exotic Dancers playing Twister and Foosball

The Liberal Party has confirmed it will not run a candidate in the upcoming byelection for the state seat of Melbourne prompting accusations of "cowardice" from the state's opposition.
In a statement released on Thursday, State Director Damien Mantach said the party would not stand a candidate in the July 21 byelection.
The byelection was triggered by the retirement of former minister Bronwyn Pike from the once-safe Labor seat.
The Liberal Party's move, though expected, is bad news for Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews who faces a stiff fight to hold the seat in the face of a concerted challenge from the Greens.
Senior Labor insiders have voiced serious concerns that they might lose the seat largely due to the damage to the party's standing inflicted by the Labor federal government.
Mr Mantach said the decision followed consultation by the party's Parliamentary leadership group and the Administrative Committee.
"Following these consultations the Administrative Committee has determined not to contest the seat," he said.
"This is the seventh Labor initiated state byelection, in a safe seat, in five years."
Mr Andrews said the byelection would be a "tough fight".
"The only way to get rid of this government is to vote Labor," he said.
"We are literally going door-to-door working as hard as we can and we will continue to do that right throughout the winter break up until July 21."
Mr Andrews said the Liberal Party's decision not to run a candidate in the seat showed "cowardice" and that Premier
"The Premier is racking up a pretty impressive list of absolute no-shows," he said.
"He perhaps believes some of published opinion polls which show that there are a growing number of Victorians who are dissatisfied with his leadership."

Workloads that are allocating frequently and writing files place a large number of dirty pages on the LRU. With use-once logic, it is possible for them to reach the end of the LRU quickly requiring the reclaimer to scan more to find clean pages. Ordinarily, processes that are dirtying memory will get throttled by dirty balancing but this is a global heuristic and does not take into account that LRUs are maintained on a per-zone basis. This can lead to a situation whereby reclaim is scanning heavily, skipping over a large number of pages under writeback and recycling them around the LRU consuming CPU. This patch checks how many of the number of pages isolated from the LRU were dirty and under writeback. If a percentage of them under writeback, the process will be throttled if a backing device or the zone is congested. Note that this applies whether it is anonymous or file-backed pages that are under writeback meaning that swapping is potentially throttled. This is intentional due to the fact if the swap device is congested, scanning more pages and dispatching more IO is not going to help matters. The percentage that must be in writeback depends on the priority. At default priority, all of them must be dirty. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, 50% of them must be, DEF_PRIORITY-2, 25% etc. i.e. as pressure increases the greater the likelihood the process will get throttled to allow the flusher threads to make some progress.

Release date in Tamil Nadu: 20.8.2013
Cast and Crew: Ilayathalapathy Vijay (Vishwa, Vishwa Bhai), Amala Paul (A.C.P Meera Narayanan), Santhanam (Logu), Sathyaraj (Ayya, Vijay's father), Ragini Nandwani, Rekha (Geetha), Nassar (vital role), Y. Gee. Mahendran, Rajiv Pillai, Abhimanyu Singh (Bhima Bhai), G V Prakash Kumar (Special appearance in song)
Director: A L Vijay
Producers: Chandra Prakash Jain, C.P. Sunil and C.P. Dinesh
Music: G V Prakash Kumar
Cinematography: Nirav Shah
Thalaiva (Thalaivaa) which has become the recent talk of the town movie, has finally released today in Tamil Nadu after much fight back showing housefull to all leading singles and multiplexes.
Thalaivaa is partly shot in Australia and major parts in Mumbai in India.
Mumbai has become a favourable shooting spot for Tamil movies and has also striken the right chord giving many successful blockbuster and box office movies like Bombay, Nayagam, Thuppakki and many more to the list.
The movie Thalaivaa (Thalaiva) assures something unique with its backdrop and the director has given a new shape to Ilayathalapathy Vijay moving away from his usual fondness for punch dialogues suiting to the movie.
There were also speculations running around that the story of Thalaivaa (Thalaiva) has a little shade of the early blockbusters like Nayagan, Bombay, Devar Magan but the director has made all efforts to make sure that the movie doesn't bear a resemblance to to those blockbusters.
Vijay will be seen as an expert dancer in Australia which is for the first time in his career to take up this role. Most of the song sequences are added in Australia.
Amala Paul joins as a student in Vijay's dancing team and the later part will be Santhanam and Amala Paul's romance and comedy sequence.
Amala Paul plays as a love interest to Ilayathalapathy Vijay with Santhanam's comedy sector plays a vital role.
Ram Murthy (Sathyaraj) who becomes the saviour of all needy people in Mumbai, decides to send his son, Vishwa (Vijay) to Australia to avoid him in getting into any problems.
Vijay runs his own business in Australia and takes part in the dancing competition which is his passion.
There, he meets Meera (Amala Paul) and falls in love with her and decides to get his father's permission.
The story takes a twist in the second half of the story when Vishwa learns about the real face of his father and how Ilayathapathy Vijay becomes the leader forms the rest of the story.
Vijay has done justice to his character and has proved himself onceagain as a good dancer. He has done a serious role in the second half of the story which fans may not have come across in his early films.
Amala Paul has used this opputunity as an ACP Meera and has maintained her character in two different shades.
Sathyaraj (Ramamurthy)has done to his perfect level, Abhimanyu Singh (Bhima Bhai) has very little scope in the movie. Santhanam (Logu) has delivered his comedy part very well connecting to the audience as ever.
Ponvannan as Ranga (Chitappa), Y. Gee. Mahendra as Lawyer Radhakrishnan, Sam Anderson (Cameo Appearance) and G. V. Prakash Kumar (Special Appearance) for Vanganna Vanakanganna song sequence have done their part well.
Vijay's dancing style, acting performances, and his transformation in the second half of the story from a ordinary man to a leader.
Santhanam's comedy dialogues and his light hearted comedy are major plus to the story in the first half.
Though, the movie visually moves slowly in the second phase, it engages the audience with many twists and intelligent scenes in the second part.
Run Time which is almost around 182 min, Screen play and direction which is dragging a little.
Ilayathalapathy has started exploring new ventures and the movie is overall a commercial entertainment blended with all sorts of ingredients like comedy, romance and action.
Time for all Vijay fans and audience to grab a popcorn and enjoy the complete commercial entertainment movie.

Analogous to Tower 7 Ameaning
What I Can Be - Poem by Analogous to Tower 7 Ameaning
If 'normal' is conform like the dictionary states
Is diversity a subject a bit too outta place
Say 'govern' is to rule when we seek freedom
Does it contradict to claim we really need them
What if democracy crumbled Greece
Has it transformed enough to make peace
And war? And war? And war? And war?
Does it mean less or does it mean more
The dogma 'own' is above 'the date'
Question this line and challenge fate
Property first at the expense of ration
Change the rules to meets assassins
Jesus, Abe and Gandhi tried
Makiguchi, JFK and X died
King did his best and Bobby did too
But what, but what, but what can I do
Have I learned to be so small
Have I learned anything at all
Do I foster hate that fosters violence
Do I watch massacres in unaffected silence
I can't change the planet without changing me
But do I know what I can be

Leslie gives out a canvassing guide, breaks everyone up into teams and declares it a competition in 'Parks and Recreation'.
In the next "Parks and Recreation", Leslie Knope hits the street in a bid to garner votes for her park scheme. Called "Canvassing", the April 16 episode sees Leslie lashing out at a citizen who refuses the idea of having a park because the noise level and the barbecue smell will bother her.
In the clips released for the episode, Leslie and her committee go door-to-door to build support for her park project and recruit members for an upcoming town hall meeting, but their mission doesn't go as smoothly as Leslie hopes. Meanwhile, Tom strays from the group and uses more questionable recruiting tactics.
"Parks and Recreation" is the new comedy show by "Saturday Night Live" alumna Amy Poehler. It debuted on NBC Thursday, April 9 to a rating beyond expectation. About 6.9 million viewers tuned in according to Nielsen Media Research.

Bodies starve and hearts break, but at last there comes "the poppied sleep, the end of all."
He has no poppied or honeyed cakes through which to give the monster sleep or sustenance.
Blossoms and grass from blood in battle spilt, And poppied corn, I bring.
For within the ring, close to the clustering globes, was a miniature replica of the giant track in the poppied valley!
Behind us our trail was marked by deep, black pits in the forest's green, clean cut and great as the Mark upon the poppied valley.
The drowsy Provence, with its vineyard slopes and poppied fields, warm lighted and still, is akin to Paradise.

| I do not believe that this procedure should be permitted. If you do allow it, you MUST require that the products be labeled as such. Your organization takes far too many liberties with our health by allowing so many additives and chemicals to be added to the food we already consume. You have no right to decide what I am going to consume. If the marketing of unmarked cloned products are allowed, I will become a vegetarian.
I have food and chemical allergies and already buy Organic to avoid the chemical, hormones and pesticides that you have decided are safe to consume.
I am not alone in my believing that the FDA needs to get out of the pockets of BIG business and start thinking about the health of the consumers.

The Redlands Police Department's Volunteer Unit recently presented Volunteer of the Year awards to Citizen Volunteer Patrol members Ron O'Neil and Eric Aguilar.
The volunteers are selected by their supervising staff, based on outstanding work and contributions to the community.
Ron O'Neil is an active member of the Redlands Police Department Citizen Volunteer Patrol Ranger Unit. O'Neil attended the 25th Citizen Volunteer Academy in April 2010. In addition to the Police Department, O'Neil has volunteered in the Redlands community for more than 30 years in various organizations including Redlands Community Hospital. His colleagues and supervisors speak of his calm, quiet, giving and pleasant demeanor, according to a press release from the Redlands Police Department.
"He's the guy who will bend over backwards to help you if you need it," said Vic Ramos.
O'Neil is operating as the volunteer quartermaster in addition to his other commitments in the volunteer unit. Most recently O'Neil helped to organize the Volunteer Veterans float in the recent Redlands Veterans Day Parade.
Eric Aguilar attended the Citizen Volunteer Academy in November 2010 and is an active member of the Redlands Police Department Citizen Volunteer Patrol. He also volunteered at the Redlands Community Center recreation center from 2008 to 2010. He is a student in Street Smart, where he is a master red belt and preparing to test for his provisional black belt.
He is attending San Bernardino Valley College, majoring in criminal justice.
Aguilar was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, but has never allowed that to stop him or be an excuse not to attain his goals, according to Police Department's press release. Despite being told it would be medically impossible for him ride a bicycle, Aguilar learned to ride.
"With the help of God, I not only learned to ride the bike, I participate in martial arts, volunteer with various charity events and continue to allow my story to motivate others," Aguilar said.
While a member of the Redlands Police Volunteer Unit, Aguilar has participated in many Shop-With-A-Cop events, Chili's Tip-A-Cop fundraisers, volunteer patrols, parade traffic control, Christmas block parties and the Special Olympics torch run, in which carried the torch for the Redlands Police Department.
"It is not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me," Aguilar said.
The Redlands Police Department has more volunteers than paid employees. The service of the volunteer unit not only saves millions of dollars in paid man-hours, but enhances the quality of life for the community, according to the Police Department.

Top 10 Qualities to Listen For When Interviewing Job Applicants
There's a lot to listen for in a conversation. When a person speaks, listen to what's NOT being said, as well as what's being said. The purpose of an interview isn't merely to learn about an applicant's skills or background you've already gleaned this information from their resume. Listen beneath the words to who a person is. Listen for the qualities that most matter to the position and to the company.
1. Confidence & Self Acceptance
2. Follow Through & Persistence
To ask the applicant to "tell me about your follow through abilities" isn't going to reveal anything but an artificial response. Use your own experiences to identify impactful questions. What line of inquiry would bring out YOUR perseverance? A question about personal commitments and passions, or a question about your project management skills? My guess is that you'll learn more about a person's persistence by asking them about their passions vs. previous job responsibilities.
3. Integrity
4. Creativity
5. Standards
How strong a connection has the
applicant made with you? Did the person present authentically
or were they playing a role to impress you? Listen for
how well a person listens and connects with you. This is a highly
valuable skill with enormous benefit for your team and
8. Commitment
Connection + Consistency = Commitment
9. Passion
10. Authenticity
How genuine is the person during the interview process? How comfortable with oneself does she/he appear? Authenticity is about being real & about being genuine - listen for conflicts that get in the way of a person's authenticity.

NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson has slammed Sydney councils for cracking down on home owners offering rooms to international guests through social websites, describing it as ''bureaucracy gone mad''.
He said the websites made holidays more affordable for families who swapped rooms while they were overseas.
''If we're going to promote Sydney as the great global city that it is, we should be encouraging these smart ways to boost tourism and to make our city more accessible to visitors,'' Mr Robertson said.
Thousands of Sydney residents were risking fines by letting their homes to international guests on websites such as Airbnb, which connect people with spare rooms to those looking for short stays, Fairfax Media reported on Saturday.
City of Sydney and Waverley councils warned the trend could breach planning laws, and development consent was required for tourist accommodation.
Mr Robertson said: ''Sites like Airbnb have been very successful in major cities all across the globe - from New York to London and Berlin. If people wish to use these sites as a means to rent out their own homes to tourists or visitors, we should be encouraging and facilitating them, not threatening heavy fines or penalties.

Why You Should Never Neglect Carpet cleaning service
Carpet cleaning is essential if you want to make sure that your home always looks and smells fresh, and that it is as healthy as you possibly can for you and your family. Furthermore, professional carpet cleaning can prevent toxic gases from developing while you are cleaning your premises. - carpet cleaning Austin TX
Dust, pet dander, toxic chemicals from cleaning, and general deterioration of the carpets all can release unpleasant substances in to the atmosphere. Dust mites can be a serious problem for people with allergies, as well as your carpets can have a tendency to break down over time, causing a lot more problems.
With regular, professional cleaning you are able to greatly prolong the life span of your carpets, and ensure that they will survive for quite some time. You should, of course, take the time to vaccuum clean your carpets and usually look after them on a day to day basis, but there's a lot to be said for regular deep cleans. They'll help you to get rid of the build-up of dust, debris and dirt that would otherwise cause a lot of problems for your home, and that could be contributing to respiratory problems and to asthma and allergies for the family. - carpet cleaning Austin TX

ROBBERS targeted a town centre pawnbrokers in a terrifying raid.
It is understood that two men, armed with a sledgehammer and an axe, tried to rob the Albemarle Bond pawnbrokers shop in Corporation Street at about 3.15pm yesterday.
It is not clear whether they went inside the shop or whether they were chased away by security guards before they entered it.
Police were not able to confirm whether any damage was caused or if anything was taken.
Staff at neighbouring shops were shocked to hear what had happened. One, who asked not to be named, said: "I had no idea that there was a robbery — and I was here at the time, totally oblivious to what went on."
The shop was closed yesterday afternoon and jewellery had been removed from the window.
Police were at the scene, but there was no obvious signs a robbery had taken place.
Staff at the shop refused to comment about what happened. Bolton CID is investigating the robbery.

A Baltimore blogger and internet broadcaster aired his standoff with police Saturday night as a SWAT team stood outside his house.
According to The Baltimore Sun, police went to Frank James MacArthur's home Saturday to serve an outstanding warrant from from a 2009 gun case against him. MacArthur insisted throughout the broadcast on his website, Baltimore Spectator, that he was not notified about the warrant before the Baltimore Police Department brought the tactical team to his home.
The broadcast has included MacArthur's phone conversation with a police negotiator who attempted to convince him to exit and talk to investigators. MacArthur said he is airing the discussion because he fears for his life.

Sheen Alleges He's Being 'Punished' by Ex Richards
December 17, 2013
Charlie Sheen is reportedly trying to slash child support payments to his ex-wife Denise Richards for their two daughters Sam and Lola and says he believes Richards is still trying to punish him eight years after their split.
Through his publicist, Jeff Ballard, Sheen told ET on Tuesday, "Eight years after being divorced, I'm still being punished for just trying to spend [time with] my kids."
PICS: Adorable Tots: Celebs and Their Cute Kids!
The statement follows a report that the Anger Management star is threatening legal action to reduce the girls' child support payments because Richards is allegedly not granting Sheen permission to take a vacation with Sam and Lola over the holidays.
Speaking with ET's Nancy O'Dell just a few weeks ago, Richards seemed quite content with her parenting relationship with Sheen. "Even though we're not married and we're divorced, we're still a family -- and I think it's important for us and for the girls," she said. "I don't want a toxic relationship with him," she added.

Beppe Grillo, whose populist movement was the top vote-getter in Italy's election this week, rejected a call by Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani to back a coalition.
To have any chance to govern, Bersani's bloc needs to bring in Grillo or join with former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who lost to Bersani by less than half a percentage point in the lower house. No coalition was able to obtain a majority in the Senate.
Grillo, whose Five Star Movement has rejected allying itself with established parties, "won't give any vote of confidence to the PD or others", he wrote on his blog yesterday. "It will vote on the laws that reflect its own programme, no matter who puts them out. If Bersani wants to propose the abolition of public funding to parties including funds for the past election, we will vote in favour of it straight away."
The prospect of a hung parliament and concern the country may need new elections roiled markets, with the benchmark FTSE MIB stock index shedding almost 5 per cent yesterday and bond yields rising.
Bersani yesterday said Grillo's movement must outline their plans.
"Until now they have been saying that everyone must be sent packing, but now they are here too, so they must say what they want to do for this country and for their children," Bersani said.
Berlusconi dismissed new elections as not useful and said he would consider an alliance with his rival. Bersani rejected the olive branch, saying he would not seek any deal with Berlusconi before the new parliament convenes on March 15.
Recession-scarred voters rejected the budget rigour that Bersani and Berlusconi had backed as part of Prime Minister Mario Monti's unelected government. The economic pain that Monti delivered helped make Grillo, a former comedian, into a political force. The risk for Italy is that a weak government will leave Europe's second-biggest debtor, after Greece, vulnerable to financial turmoil.
"It appears that euro zone political uncertainty is back and investors should expect higher volatility as more weight is placed on political news flow," said Azad Zangans, an economist at Schroders Investment Management.
An alliance between Bersani and Berlusconi runs the risk of allowing Grillo to remain the only main opposition party, free to cull popular anger to build even more support.
"If they don't change strategy and go vote again with similar candidates, the risk is a Grillo landslide," Giovanni Orsina, a history professor at Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome, said.
An Italian government requires a majority in both houses, which have equal powers. Current rules make it difficult for a party to win both. In the lower house Chamber of Deputies, the coalition gaining the most votes automatically gets 54 per cent of the seats. The Senate is apportioned regionally.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano yesterday cancelled talks with the man bidding to unseat German Chancellor Angela Merkel after he called two Italian political players "clowns".
Commenting on the inconclusive vote in Italy, Peer Steinbrück said he was "downright appalled that two clowns won" - a reference to the big votes won by Grillo and scandal-tainted former premier Berlusconi.

F-150 Limited Trim Level Teased by Ford
Ahead of the scheduled Tuesday release, Ford is teasing its highest trim-level F-150 to date which it calls "Limited."
It's likely that the snazzy half-ton will follow in the Platinum SuperDuty's footsteps with more exterior chrome trim, larger wheels, a special grille and premium leather upholstery. We don't know the details yet, but Ford promises it will be the "most luxurious and refined" F-150 to date.
Still, it's tough to imagine the Limited being much nicer than the already-posh "Platinum" trim level, which comes with 20-inch wheels, a satin chrome grille, wood grain dashboard accents and more.
You can even choose to have the lowest cost (though irrefutably good) EcoBoost V6 engine with the Platinum package, which leaves us to wonder if the same will be true in the next-best trim.

One thing the final installment of The Matrix trilogy DOES do is plop itself down squarely on the humanist side of the artificial intelligence debate. Writer-directors the Wachowski brothers seem sure that A.I. will never be able to supplant humanity, because, as Keanu's Neo says to the multitudinous and increasingly powerful Smith's (Hugo Weaving) question about why he - Neo - continuous to persist despite no hope of winning, 'Because I choose too.' Cue Smith's hard-wired brain to blow a gasket. And that - an introductory philosophy-class seminar about the concept of choice - is about all that's at least somewhat interesting about this wretched climax to the series.
It's no wonder that, at the Hollywood premiere, producer Joel Silver answered a reporter's question about the possibility of the series continuing with a firm, 'No.' If you thought The Matrix Reloaded had holes in it, this one is muddled beyond belief, accidentally humorous - one main character's deadly serious, overly protracted and completely over-the-top death scene elicited giggles at the press screening - and, believe it or not, boring.
Given that even my 93-year-old grandfather probably knows the plot, let's be quick about a summary. There are three stands: the Machines are burrowing down to Zion and Zion has just a few hours to prepare to fight; Morpheus' (Laurence Fishburne) ship must get back to Zion to help; and Neo, with Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) in tow, must find a way to save humanity by going to the 'city of the Machines' and confronting them.
Strand one, the Zion preparations, plays like a second-rate rehashing of Aliens - all macho posturing and gear-head guns 'n' ammo fetishization, as the humans prepare to battle to the death. Strand two, Morpheus descending, is an extended chase sequence in which those squid-like attack machines never quite catch up with Morpheus and lead pilot Niobe (Jada Pinkett Smith). Strand three, Neo's quest, is the only one people will care about - and feel short-changed by given that it takes up the least amount of screen time. It is also the most illustrative of how bad this movie really is.
Remember the French couple of n'er-do-wells, Merovingian and Persephone, so deliciously played by Lambert Wilson and Monica Bellucci as to be one of the highlights of episode two? They are back - with barely any lines and nary a laugh. A total waste. I don't want to spoil the whole movie for the legions that will no doubt go out to see it, (despite the legions of bad reviews the film will doubtless receive), but I have to say that a certain deal Neo makes with the Machines MAKES NO SENSE logically from the Machines perspective. And to top it all off, the special effects - Neo and Smith's big battle especially - are becoming tired exercises in computer wanking. I wouldn't be surprised if The Matrix Revolutions leaves real fans not just unhappy, but furious.

WHAT a wonderful show was Saturday's 'Last Night at the Proms'.
I am sure most people who saw the show will agree, it was one of the, if not the, best show ever and I have been listening to the radio or watching on TV since 1947.
The conducting of the first ever woman conductor, Marion Alsop was unsurpassed, as was the voice of Joyce Didonato; both these American women were charming in presenting their great talents.
Also of course the great Nigel Kennedy, who apart from being one of the world's best violinists, shows such great humour, not forgetting of course the BBC Symphony Orchestra and singers.
The music in the parks from Wales, Scotland, N Ireland and Hyde Park added to the great entertainment provided on this marvellous evening.
The enthusiasm shown by the audiences proves that real music is still alive and flourishing. Long may it prosper.

Bookworms are invited to choose their favourite books from a list of new titles available to loan from Redbridge's libraries.
The Big Red Read 2013 gives library users the chance to discover and enjoy 30 books, reading as many as they like before voting for their favourites.

Red Flags Of A Scam Binary Options Signal Provider
It is in human nature to want to do something for the least amount of effort. Whether it is work related or learning something new, most people tend to look for shortcuts in achieving what they want. The same goes for most traders who are new to binary options trading. Rather than making an effort to learn about charts and picking up the necessary skills to analyze the markets, most beginner traders turn to binary options signals to tell them when to trade. However, turning to a binary options signal provider is not as straight forward as most people would like to think as there are many signal providers who are out to scam unsuspecting victims. To help you avoid becoming a victim of one of these scam signal providers, look out for some of the red flags that we have highlighted below.
Exceedingly Impressive Statistics
One of the most common ways that scam providers use to lure victims into their fold is by showcasing win ratios that are unbelievable impressive. Any signal provider who shows you a win ratio of above 85% should be view with caution. In the first place if it is indeed true that they can win more than 85% of the time, they won't be trying to sell you a signal service as they will be too busy trading and making all the money themselves. Furthermore, you should also note that the statistical numbers provided by the provider might not be telling the whole picture as it can be easily manipulated to put the provider in a positive light.
No Track Record
Like all successful business, a reliable signal provider will have a track record as their business model would have allowed them to remain in business for the long term. Fly by operators on the other hand, will lack a decent track record as they have to be on the move continuously to prevent people from getting wise to their antics. Nevertheless, even if a provider could show a short history of successful trades, you should not get carried away as this could be purely be a result of randomness rather than the ability of the signal provider to pick winning trades.
Overtly Aggressive Sales Pitch
Sometimes after providing the signal providers with your contact info, they will get their marketing guys to contact you to get you to sign up with them. These marketing guys can at times be overzealous and may even demand your credit info before you even decided if you want to subscribe to their service or not. If you received this kind of treatment from any signal provider, the best course of action is to totally avoid having anything to do with them even if it means changing your email address and telephone numbers.
No Free Trial
Another tell-tale sign of a scam binary options signal provider is the lack of a free trail for a potential subscriber. This shows that the signal provider is not willing to let the quality of their signals influence your decision to subscribe to their service as they are not confident of the quality of their service or they simply have something to hide. Your best course of action here is to avoid them like a plague.
No Human Analysts
While trading bots or software might be great if you are a trader who wants to automate the trading process, it is not the same case when it comes to a signal service provider. This is because the financial markets are dynamic and at times requires the intervention of an analyst to make a judgement call for a specific scenarios. Signal providers who use trading robots or automated programs cannot adapt to the dynamic nature as these programs cannot take into account the "lemming effect" which some situations can have on traders in the market.
Poor Win Ratio
In contrast to exceedingly impressive win ratio, we have at the other end of the spectrum signals providers which deliver very poor results overall. These signals providers in trying to cover their tracks will often sent out a large number of signals everyday hoping that nobody will notice the poor quality of the signals provided. So more is not necessarily always better. At the end of the day, it's the quality of the signal that counts.
Late Signals
The whole purpose of subscribing to a signal provider is so you can trade on the signal provided. So if a signal provider is consistently sending out their signals late, then there is no point in subscribing to such a signal provider. Furthermore, the signals though accurate could entirely be the result of the provider rehashing a scenario which has just gone past as one of their winning signals.
If we were to take a look at the signal provider industry, we find that most signal providers have no staying power. So rather than investing in a service which might close down tomorrow, it make more sense for you to invest in yourself and educating yourself properly with the intricacies of the financial markets.

I also wondered if he'd read my response... but whatever.
I made Swirly Crustless Quiche a la Practical Paleo for breakfast this week. Next time I will refrain from adding sweet potatoes. They add a sweetness that doesn't seem to fit. And I don't think I squeezed enough moisture out of the zucchini b/c the consistency is a bit too wet. Guess I'll be boiling some eggs tonight... But my bacon is delicious!
My feet are hurting again. They're really stiff and sore. I am seriously thinking it's arthritis. More specifically, rheumatoid arthritis - my grandpa had it so bad it crippled him. His hands were so deformed he could barely hold a spoon and his feet were so deformed he used a wheelchair and peed in a bucket (the only bathroom in their house was in the basement). It even started to affect his jaw, and his knees were twice the size they should be. I think my mom suffers from it too - but I think she might take medication to control it. I don't know. She and I haven't talked about it for a long time.
The materials I'm reading say it's a symmetrical disease, meaning it affects the same joint on both sides of the body at the same time - both feet are so stiff in the early hours. I take cherry extract to reduce the stiffness - it's knocks it back by about 50%. If I don't take it, I can't walk in the morning or overnight hours. So, I'm scared.
Regarding running - I plan to finish out the 3 races I have planned and then, unless something changes in the way my feet and ankles feel, I am probably going to hang up my running shoes. This makes me sad. I have wanted to run a full marathon for a few years now (hence the screenname) but I don't think that's going to happen. Unless I can come to a conclusion with these feet, I'm probably going to give up that dream.
I am due for a yearly with my doctor. There are blood tests that can determine whether or not you have the RA markers. I'm going to ask the doctor to do this test. Can't hurt to find out if it's there. I'll get her advice regarding what to do too. She's paleo (well, zone - she's a triathlete and says that she gets so low on carbs she binges on fruit at 2 am, so she's reintroduced some grains - like oatmeal) so I know she'll consider diet as a solution. I don't want to take prescription meds for it, but hell, I take ibuprofen all the freaking time for them now, so what's the difference? It's gotten to the point where I can't run without taking ibuprofen first.
I'm curious to see if there is anything I can do holistically to put it in remission - aside from maintaining a squeaky clean diet, b/c I know I can't remain squeaky clean ALL the time. I'm seriously struggling right now. I can do good for the days I'm at work, but then I go into "eat anything with sugar" mode on the weekends. This last weekend, I did remain gluten free... Oh... wait. No I didn't. I had two hushpuppies from Long John Silver's on Friday. (Note, however, that their steamed shrimp with the butter garlic sauce is EXCELLENT!!)
Anyhow, that's my drama right now. I'm scared shitless of RA given how quickly my grandpa's condition deteriorated. He fought it well and was even featured in a farming newspaper b/c he refused to give up farming. They interviewed him, took some pics of him doing his daily stuff, and interviewed my grandma. I wonder if the article is available anywhere online. It was written in the early 90's I think... precursory google search turns up nothing. I know my mom has a copy of it. I wonder if she'd scan it for me. It was a huge spread over an entire page of the newspaper. Pretty cool, aside from the suck factor of his condition.
Anyhow, it's always something, isn't it?
Holy hells, I hope that it isn't RA or if it is that medicine has advanced enough to fight it. Good luck Jenn.
I believe RA is an auto immune disease, yes? Perhaps the auto - immune eating protocol is your best bet - at least for now. It could help with the pain and swelling and maybe get you through the races while you are waiting for the results of the tests and the doctors advice about how to proceed should the tests be conclusive. As for meds -- there are some really good ones to keep the damages of RA at bay. It could be a combo of meds and diet and holistic will keep it at bay indefinitely?
Don't fret too much until you have the test results - but if you are fairly certain and the genetic trail is there it would be wise to start the diet and holistic supplements asap.
sorry, Jenn. I sure hope you don't have to give up your dream of doing a full marathon.1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.

Good call on auto-immune, Tomi. Auto-immune paleo is yes, yet another kind of restriction, but if the trade-off is mobility for the rest of your life, it seems worth it to me.Depression Lies
Wow Jenn...I agree it's always something, I say that frequently. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that's it not RA. I think you should be able to control it thru diet & supplementation. Look up info on MSM... the actor James Coburn had RA similar to what sounds like your grandpa did. MSM helped him tremendously. Mom took it a lot of it during her recovery period when she broke her hip. It really helped her pain level. There is an excellent book on it called "The Miracle of MSM, The Natural Solution for Pain". Written by doctors even! Stanley Jacob, Ronald Lawrence. It's not an expensive book. You can order it for $9 here...& this is the only place mom & I get our MSM & have for years because we know its pure. The website also has info. And no I don't make anything from referring people. www.richdistibuting.com
Hope the doc can give you a firm diagnosis either yes or no. Will be waiting to hear.Goal: Don't worry be happy!
Talked to Mom. She said her test (done by a physician's assistant) came back negative for RA, but having read what I've read today, the testing for RA is vastly inaccurate b/c there are so many different testing procedures out there and a true diagnosis can only be given by a rheumatologist. Mom seems to trust the PA's diagnosis that it's just generic arthritis. Seriously... arthritis at the age of 33?? WTF?
Thanks for the link, Donna. I can't open it at work so I'll try to remember to log on when I get home.
I am considering auto-immune paleo as well to see if it has any impact. I know Whole30 has an impact. I just don't like the idea of giving up tomatoes and all that.
Does anyone have this book??

And though you may not want to consider it, perhaps even though your mind and heart love running, maybe your feet and legs don't. It could be structural, not RA. Don't let the fear behind the big things blind you to the possibility that it may be a little (or medium) thing.
So sorry Jenn. I also hope it is not RA, but having to give up a dream is no small thing either.Primal since 9/24/2010"Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within." Miguel de Cervantes

Shattuck Farm
The Shattuck Farm, previosly owned and operated by the Abbot family and built in 1718, was an operating farm for 250 years. It encompassed seven distinct Native American sites at what is now 125 River Road. Before it became part of the Andover Industrial Park, an archaeological dig was commissioned. Two reports were published, "An Archaeological Survey and the Documentary History of the Shattuck Farm, Andover, Massachusetts," 1981 and "The Camp in the Bend of the River," by Barbara E. Luedtke.
A restaurant in the main house had served baked beans cooked in an old brick oven and an ice cream stand and country store operated on the site.
The Stattuck farm buildings were moved from the original farm site on River Road to a 12 acre piece of land on High Plain Road owned by Terrence and Patricia Sullivan. The buildings had been sold to Digital Corporation for an industrial park.

Get the Best Out of Your Credit Card
Posted on December 26th, 2012 by Nicole Price
Regular readers know that I am wary of plastic and usually go around telling people (and readers) to eschew buying stuff on credit. While I stick to my position and reiterate that credit cards are just a way for financial institutions to make money, they can be quite useful if used the right way.
Very often, credit cards are just too convenient to avoid especially now during the shopping holiday season – for instance there is a really good deal you're getting but you don't have ready cash at that very time. And I have to grudgingly admit; credit cards can also mean savings in some cases. So here's what you can do to get the best out of your credit card:
- Credit card companies offer many blandishments to lure you into using plastic. Find out about and utilize reward points, frequent flyer miles, sign up bonuses, and cash-backs that are offered by your credit card company. Sign up bonuses can offer between $50 and $250 and you can get between 1 and 5% cash back on purchases.
- Read the fine print. Are there monthly charges, processing or recurring fees? What are the penalties if you fail to pay on time? If you feel you don't need your credit card anymore, are there any financial penalties for canceling it? Find out about these and avoid nasty surprises.
- Exercise control. Never use the credit card for impulse purchases and always make sure that what you're buying is necessary. Even more importantly, buy only that which you can afford to pay for when the credit card bill arrives.
- Always pay up on time; don't let them con you out of any of your hard earned money in usurious interest. By all means take advantage of the grace period, but don't be late in paying and don't give them the satisfaction of making you pay more than you owe.
- Find out about insurance benefits. Many cards offer free insurance – there could be product warranties, travel insurance, health insurance or car rental insurance built into your credit card. Find out about this; it could mean significant savings.
- When the safety of your belongings and portability are an issue; such as when traveling, credit cards can be a real boon. If you don't know when and how much cash you may have to fork out, or when you cannot or don't want to carry too much cash along (as in when you're traveling) carry plastic instead.

Gators Get Revenge, Beat Arkansas 71-54
Facing the possibility of becoming the No. 1 team in the country, the Gators' fell from third to seventh in the NCAA rankings after losing to Arkansas 80-69 earlier in the month.
Florida was prepared for the Razorbacks in Gainesville Saturday evening, jumping out to a 7-0 lead and never looking back.
At the O'Connell Center, the Gators were without Wil Yeguete who was injured in the first matchup and recently had arthoscopic knee surgery and lost their best perimeter shot, Michael Frazier II, in Saturday's contest after the SEC's leading three-point shooter sustained a concussion in a loose ball scramble in the second half.
With the win, the Gators move to 22-4 (12-2 SEC) on the season, but their No. 5 ranking could be in jeopardy following a loss at Missouri Tuesday night.
Mike Rosario lead Florida with 15 points, while Patric Young was just behind him with 14 points and seven rebounds as the Gators outscored the Razorbacks 42-18 in the paint.
Next up, Florida will play Tennessee in Knoxville Tuesday night, with just four games remaining before the SEC Tournament, which begins March 13.

The smell of Notre Dame doesn't come cheap.
University licensing Director Michael Low tells the South Bend Tribune (http://bit.ly/11R7FOG ) that that the Cloudbreak Group is working with Steiner Collectibles to develop the fragrances.
Low says ND Gold Eau De Toilette for men and Lady Irish Eau De Parfum will be available this fall, with 3.4-ounce bottles expected to retail for $62.
Low says Notre Dame encourages its licensing partners to develop innovative products of high quality that are not commonly available.
The Sports Business Daily first reported on the Notre Dame fragrance line earlier this week. It reported that Cloudbreak has built the Yankees scent into a brand worth more than $10 million since rolling it out last spring.

Sterling case puts privacy at issue
This isn't about the right or wrong of Donald Sterling, the billionaire bigot who owns the Clippers. It's not about the First Amendment, either, because Sterling has every right to express his views however he chooses. It's not even about racism, which remains very much alive.
Sterling deserved lifetime banishment from the NBA for making racist remarks because he's an owner. He's a representative of the league and its longest-tenured owner. The NBA cannot tolerate one of its own thinking that way, let alone speaking that way. He should have been gone years ago.
People like me who wanted him stripped of ownership, who never wanted to see him inside an NBA arena, who chastised him, should best proceed with caution and remember that his private comments were secretly recorded and passed along for public consumption. That was dirty, too.
It's the one aspect of this Sterling mess, other than his comments, that makes me uncomfortable. He's nauseating, but his rights to privacy were basically ignored in the public's quest to condemn him. Can you imagine if your private conversations were available for the public shredder?
While I applauded the public outrage, the punishment handed down by Adam Silver and support from key figures in sports and beyond, there also was a part of me that wondered if his harshest critics ever made a private remark that would have left them ostracized if made public.
And while I do view Sterling as a racist and believe Magic Johnson is the furthest thing from one, I also wonder if Magic ever made derogatory remarks about people of other races during private conversations. Johnson is just an example.
But how many people who were offended by Sterling's comments were guilty, but never convicted, of a similar crime? And how many people were offended by the breach of trust from his mistress?
To some degree, the way his comments were revealed takes away from the message about him. The message should be that he's a pathetic person. It would be a shame if he somehow came away a sympathetic figure.
Miller's value takes hit
It's easy to look back now, but Ryan Miller may have better served his career if he remained in Buffalo and preserved his reputation as a top-notch goaltender for a terrible team.
Miller wasn't anywhere near good enough in the playoffs for the Blues, who acquired him to push them over the top. Instead, he lost nine of his final 11 games, including the final four playoffs to the Blackhawks. He had a 2.70 goals-against average and .897 save percentage before a first-round exit.
In his 19 games with the Blues during the regular season, he had a 2.47 GAA and .903 SP. His save percentage during his tenure with the Blues was lower than any season in Buffalo in which he played more than 15 games.
Miller turns 34 in July. If he was expecting a long-term deal for big money – say five years for $35 million – he might want to think again.
Better excuse needed
Sorry, but Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston has to come up with something better than "a moment of youthful ignorance" and suggesting that he simply "forgot to pay" before dining and dashing at Publix.
Winston was cited for shoplifting after feasting on $32.72 worth of crab legs and crawfish and walking out of the grocery store. He was suspended from the Florida State baseball team and is looking at 20 hours of community service, which in Tallahassee is described as "football practice."
"I make no excuses for my actions and will learn and grow from this unfortunate situation," Winston said. "I hope and pray my friends and family will view me as the 20-year-old young man that I am."
Toddlers swiping suckers from the candy lane can be chalked up to youthful ignorance. College students tend to "forget" when they're busted for something stupid. Winston was questioned in separate incidents last year, one about stealing pop from Burger King and another about an alleged BB gun fight.
Ollie to the Lakers?
Kevin Ollie talked about planting himself in Connecticut after retiring from the NBA, but he looks like the early favorite and a natural choice to replace Mike D'Antoni as coach of the Lakers.
Ollie, whose stock soared after guiding the Huskies to an NCAA championship, is only a few years removed from the league and would be a terrific hire. He played for 11 teams over his 13 years in the NBA and was considered coaching material long before his career ended.
That's how he stayed in the league that long. He started only 100 games and never averaged more than 6.5 points per game. However, he was respected so much for his leadership and intelligence that teams kept finding room for him before he retired in 2010 and joined Jim Calhoun at UConn.
If it were any other NBA gig, he wouldn't be as tempted. Ollie graduated from Crenshaw High in Los Angeles before playing college ball for UConn.
Stats Inc.
20 – Turnovers through five games for Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant, who had the same number of assists in a first-round series against Atlanta.
10,000 – Victories in franchise history for the Dodgers after their win over the Twins. The Dodgers, who were 38 wins ahead of the Yankees, joined the Giants, Braves and Cubs as the only teams with that many.
12 million – Dollars that Donald Sterling paid in 1981 for the Clippers, who are now worth an estimated $575 million.
Quick hits
• Former Buffalo Braves great Bob McAdoo, an assistant coach with the Heat, remembered late coach Jack Ramsay for being ahead of his time. "We could get the ball up and down the court," McAdoo said. "We talk about the Lakers and Showtime, but we had Showtime in Buffalo with Dr. Jack. It was very fun playing with him."
• Jonathan Quick had a rough start to the postseason, but he looked like he regained his Conn Smythe-winning form in four straight wins over the Sharks. If you remember 2012, Quick allowed two goals or fewer in 17 of 20 postseason games and had three shutouts en route to the Stanley Cup.
• Yankee fans had some nerve chanting "sell-out" to Robinson Cano during his return to the Bronx. They conveniently ignore the Yanks spending big on free agents. What can't be ignored are empty seats behind home plate in Yankee Stadium, which has been taken over by suits who can't handle cold weather.

Just over three years ago, Dennis Crowley launched Foursquare at SXSW Interactive. The app's name and icon came from the playground game four square, and the elevator pitch was similar: you "check in" to businesses, restaurants, and other venues with your phone, share that check-in with friends, and beat other Foursquare users to becoming the "mayor" of a space and garnering competitive points, shown on a leaderboad. Which can be fun for a while, until you and your Foursquare-using friends become naturally more relaxed, less competitive, and start asking questions about what the app is really for.
Foursquare intends to answer them with a big new redesign, one that's based on "seeing how our 20-million strong community has used the app." The new Foursquare is geared toward exploring places, browsing reviews, recording experiences, and other uses of the app that don't involve checking in, inviting spontaneous gatherings or envy, or maintaining fiefdoms. As Crowley implied to the New York Times, and more directly related to TechCrunch, the path to selling ads and services against reviews and user recommendations is a lot smoother than that of eventually charging users for a game they feel they can leave and not really sweat too much.
I can't find it now, but someone let loose with a sage big of Twitter snark recently regarding startups. To paraphrase: when a startup claims that they're looking into "new and creative revenue models," it's almost inevitable they'll be selling old-fashioned advertising in three years' time. Foursquare certainly has an invested audience with some means of disposable income, so selling ads won't be too hard. It's just too bad that it couldn't have jumped on two really interesting models dreamed up by small firms riding on its API.
Forecast takes Foursquare's strengths at geo-location and venue sorting and expands them from "Where are you now?" to "Where are you going?" You pick a venue, say what time you'll roughly be there, and then share it to other friends using Forecast, or in public through Twitter or Facebook. Forecast is certainly a niche product in the broad sense (Android's Play Store estimates between 10,000 and 50,000 downloads), but it could take off among groups who want to track schedules and locations, or as a travel-planning feature. And if Foursquare wants to focus on building out the community knowledge about every place in town, why not make it easy to pick a spot for lunch.
And then there's Timehop, the service that delivers yourself, to you, from one year ago. Every morning, an email arrives with everywhere you checked in on Foursquare, everything you tweeted, every post from Facebook, and, just recently, text messages from your past. It's a neat nostalgia kick, but if Timehop continues along its path, it could eventually have all kinds of self-analysis data that you'd want to pay for: how far you ran or biked a year ago, how many meetings your joined in on then as opposed to now, how many emails you sent versus received, and so on. It would all just instantly be there, and you didn't have to do anything but open an email this morning.
So while Foursquare can certainly head down the well trodden path of showing you ads when you want to do something, it could potentially take a real risk and try to sell you something you want that only they have—your habits and travels, in context. Foursquare certainly can't pretend their mayorship-grabbing, pizza-bragging users (myself among them) aren't interested in buying a bit of themselves.
