Quid Pro Quo – How To Get What You Want In The Music Biz
0I haven't really given much actual music industry advise on this site since I started it. There are too many people tossing advice around out there, and no shortage of musicians who think they don't need advice, and very little about the exchange appeals to me. I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy teaching — It gives me an appropriate place, time, and specific topic to dole out advice. This unregulated, free-form, internet know-it-all advice from everyone is… not good. In fact, even the information I see from people who have one or both feet in the music industry is typically terrible. And, one final stupid article was the straw that broke this ass's back…
The article I read gave three simple steps on how to get into CMJ Music Marathon in New York. Step one was to be able to attend a fest in New York in October without getting paid to do so. Step two was to have music industry buzz. Step three was to make sure you promote the show once you get it. So that's three steps, and of those three, only one is an actual step sandwiched between the obvious and the unrelated. Sorry to waste your time by rehashing, but I want to illustrate how bad a lot of the advice out there is. Bad and pointless. But, just like this nut job here, I don't like giving criticism without also providing resolution.
So, I could write an article on how I would go about getting your band into CMJ. In fact, I could lay out a strategy to get your band there without Sonic Bids or an Agent, or even solid buzz, but I'd rather address the more broad issue plaguing musicians and those who give them advice: Quid Pro Quo.
If you want to know "How to get into CMJ?" you're asking the wrong question. The right question is "Do I have anything CMJ wants?" Well, what if you'd rather find a booking agent and let them worry about CMJ for you? Fair enough. Do you have anything a booking agent wants? Do you have anything a label wants? Or a manager? Or a music editor? If you're think "Yes, I do! I have great music!" You're dead wrong. Having talent is the prerequisite to getting into Music Business 101- its not the reason you ace the class.
I'll break this down into steps.
Step one: Decide what you want. A showcase at CMJ. A Publicist. A manager, etc…
Step two: Find out what they want in return. Buzz, money, reputation, history, etc…
Step three: Honestly evaluate if you have what they want. If you do, approach them through a proper channel. (Hint- if you don't know the right way to get in touch with someone wait until you do) If you don't have what they want go back and try and figure out how to get what you're missing.
People don't seem to understand that its damaging to ask for things your career doesn't yet deserve. It shows anyone who's paying attention that you don't know what you're doing. Whereas the opposite is true when you ask for only what is appropriate. This helps build a positive reputation. If you come baring gifts, and understanding what's required of you to make a relationship mutually beneficial people will take you seriously. Quid Pro Quo: This for that.
South by 'what day is it anyway?'
0Psychics, stolen cars, lying receptionists, and Gold Bond- This is my account of 2012′s SXSW. If you're in a band, work in the music industry, live near Austin, or watch the news a lot, you've probably heard of South By Southwest. If not, here's a brief summery… every bar that has live music in the live musical capital of the world has live music all day and night for five days while every other imaginable space in town is turned into a temporary live music venue. Then hundreds of thousands of fans, musicians, and other weirdos descend on Austin to feast on the insanity that ensues. So, naturally, I show up as well. This is what I remember.
I had the distinct pleasure of riding down in a van with Savannah Smith and a new band called Enemy Planes. I'll tell you more about them in another post… But, any intense event should begin with an equally intense journey. A two hour plane ride is not enough to transport you into the alternate universe that Austin becomes in March- a Twenty hour van ride on the other hand? With one lay over for a Radiohead concert? Perfect.
We arrived in the Lone Star State late Monday night and then first had to drop a few stragglers off at a ritzy subdivision of a swamp of some sort. We took a wrong turn down a gravel road, and didn't know if we'd be able to back out or turn around with the trailer in tow. The headlights of the vehicle did a poor job of lighting the dark and foggy terrain that sloped unevenly down and out of site in front of us. We all sat motionless in the van while trying to decide what to do. Naturally, sleep deprived and delirious, I presumed this was the end and we were going to die here, so I volunteered to leave the safety of the van and scout ahead on foot. There are alligators in these parts of Texas, vicious nocturnal hunters that are hard to see during the day, let alone at night! …I mean, I presumed there were alligators anyway. It made sense at the time. There was a lake for sure, and where there's lakes, there are alligators. Long story short- I didn't get eaten. But I did find a spot for the van to turn around. …I guess this part of the story isn't exciting at all… but pretend you think there were alligators too- then it sort of is. Anyway, I would soon find out that many more dangers awaited me in the heart of the city.
Tuesday morning we all rode into downtown Austin early. The city comes alive around noon with day parties, some sanctioned by SXSW, many more sanctioned by no one in particular, but all luring pedestrians in off the street with free food and drinks. My primary goal in going to SXSW is always to network. My secondary goal is to see how much free crap I can get- weather I need it or not. My first official stop of the day as at a Mexican restaurant called Casa Chapala where Savannah was playing. After eating some free things and watching Savannah play, I went to catch up with the rest of my troupe including Craig (if you've been following the last several years of posts you know him) at Club Deville. I like this place a lot only because it's built like a fort into the side of a hill with steep rock faced walls surrounding it's patio.
It was while I was photo bombing a group of individuals by this very wall that I met Mimi. After the snap of the flash her friends all scattered, but Mimi stayed, transfixed with the dashing and mysterious stranger who had just jumped into the photo and into her life. At first she seemed like an ordinary drunk who was likely unstable to start with. She stated that she also liked the wall, and that she could climb to the top, twenty feet up, with ease. Given her current unbalanced state, naturally I encouraged her to try. She got a foot off the ground before she realized this was a mistake. But, upon turning from the wall she looked at me as though seeing me for the first time, and grabbed my hand. Trembling she told me that she was a 'Ren-rat' and had special powers. Ren-rat is a slang term to describe the hordes or goths, larpers, and other unfortunates who participate in the Resistance Festival on an annual basis. She described growing up at the Renfest in Shakopee- which is a suburb of Minneapolis, because her parents were also dorks. She had gained acute psychic abilities while she grew up- more than likely in a vain effort to wish herself somewhere else.
It didn't all add up to me- after all, she was dressed like a normal person- but she was intensely concerned for my safety, and I was intensely amused, so I heard her out. She proceeded to tell me that I had great powers myself. Perhaps this was why I was able to foresee I couldn't climb a sheer rock cliff without trying. She grasped my hand and gazed at my palm and bit her trembling lower lip. I was in danger. I helped people, but I may soon help them so much that I hurt myself. My fortune line also didn't follow my life line. She said that I would earn lots of money, but for other people, not myself… Stupid clients! I thought. Soon I grew bored with Mimi and made my departure. It was only a few hours later when we would meet again.
Bar close released mass of zombies on to the streets of Austin. Our van arrived out front and I got the call that it was now, or never if I wanted a ride to the hotel. As I exited the club some explainable force made me look to my right down the street. There was Mimi… sort of crawl-walking around. I went over to assist her. She was on the phone with someone.
"Hey Mimi, need some help?" Mimi just looked back at my with that all-knowing drunk stair. "It's David, the guy with super powers, remember?" I asked. Recognition crept into her eyes.
"Oh yeah, here, talk to him," she said as she thrust her cell phone at me.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Damn it, is she loaded again? Is she just totally bombed?" a gentleman asked on the other line. I glanced at Mimi.
"Yes," I answered, "she's gone."
After a few more expletives he asked if I could get her into a cab. Asking someone to get a cab at bar close in Austin during SXSW is sort of like asking someone to go find the Ark of the Covenant real quick for you. But, it appears I have special powers- so I actually did find one quickly. But my powers were no match for Mimi's. The Cabby refused to drive her anywhere in here inebriated state. I took her back to our van to freak out the boys. We offered to give Mimi a ride to where ever it was she comes from, but she wisely refused a ride from five weird looking dudes in a large nondescript white van. I left her peacefully curled up on the sidewalk, and I have no notion of what may have become of her. God speed Mimi, God speed!
With knowledge of the future and what Austin had in store for me looming ominously in the back of my powerful mind, I headed back to the hotel room for much needed rest. Soon the morningafternoonish time would be here, and we'd need to wake up and head back into the belly of the beast.

I thought maybe some might want to read this, this is how I raised seed last winter:
This last year I just started the seed under grow lights for approximately 2 or 3 weeks and then moved them in front of south windows, large south windows though and not just thin width ones. I did this after I thinned them and just kept the best. I started them later than I usually do, about the first of January. They did very well doing it like this. I hardly used any grow lights and then not for long. The seedlings came out just as healthy as using growlights all winter and I didn't use much electricity. I am taking another one of my grow stands down, know after this I don't need near as many lights. |

The Return of La Flor de Cano
David Savona
Posted: June 9, 2011
A new take on the heralded Flor de Cano Short Churchill goes on sale later this month in the United Kingdom. The Flor de Cano Short Robusto 2010, a regional edition Cuban cigar made only for the British market, is set to debut at the Hunters & Frankau summer party in London on June 23.
cigar, which was written up in the May 24 Cigar Insider, measures a
mere 4 inches long with a ring gauge of 50, a size known as a petit
robusto in Cuba. (It's a relatively rare vitola, shared only with the
Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto.) It was meant to be on sale in 2010,
but the shipment has been long delayed.
little Flor de Cano has been modeled after the Flor de Cano Short
Churchill, a cigar that hasn't been made in Cuba for more than two
decades. The Short Churchill measured 4 7/8 inches long by 50 ring, and
despite its name, was actually a robusto. Flor de Cano Short Churchills
have become tremendously popular with cigar collectors, and at auction
they command prices similar to those raised by Dunhill Cabinettas and
Davidoff Dom Perignons.
make this regional edition, Hunters & Frankau tried to blend a new
cigar to taste like the Short Churchills of old. "Although the first
release was a robusto and our revision of it is a petit robusto, the
overall taste and philosophy of flavor remains faithful to the cigar
discontinued some 20 years ago," said Jimmy McGhee from Hunters.
packaging on these new cigars is reminiscent of the original. They come
in wooden slide-lid boxes, with the J. Cano and Flor de Cano logo in
light green. The new cigars also have secondary bands, of course,
reading Exclusivo Reino Unido, Spanish for "Exclusive United Kingdom."
La Casa del Habanos get Regional Editions before other shops, the Casa
del Habano in Teddington will receive the Flor de Canos a week before
other shops in the United Kingdom.

All hands were called to "come up and see it rain," and kept on deck hour after hour in a drenching rain, standing round the deck so far apart so as to prevent our talking with one another, with our tarpaulins and oil-cloth jackets on, picking old rope to pieces, or laying up gaskets and robands. This was often done, too, when we were lying in port with two anchors down, and no necessity for more than one man on deck as a lookout. This is what is called "hazing" a crew, and "working their old iron up."

"To understand why people say 'Dear old Kansas!' is to understand that Kansas is no mere geographical expression, but a 'state of mind,' a religion, and a philosophy in one."—Carl Becker, 1910
The Kansas Center for the Book at the State Library of Kansas is proud for the fifth year to present 2011 Kansas Reads…What Kansas Means To Me, seventeen selections by 20th century writers edited by Thomas Fox Averill describing the spiritual consciousness of Kansans.
What Kansas Means To Me began with the suggestion that the state needed a treasury of affectionate, literary, twentieth century articles and poems about the meaning and appeal of Kansas. Thomas Fox Averill accepted this challenge and wrote in the preface: "Many nations, regions, and political entities have distinct cultural identities, and Kansans have been acutely conscious of an identity…since territorial days. This book attempts to present some of the best positive thinking about who we are and why."

A product liability lawsuit has found that the Ford Motor Company was at least partially responsible for defects in a vehicle and should pay for their role in a catastrophic accident. It was determined that a dangerous tire defect led to an accident that paralyzed a man. The law in Illinois and elsewhere requires that a manufacturer, suppliers of vehicle components, and dealerships selling cars take care to supply the motoring public with safe vehicles, free from dangerous defects.
In this case, the motorist was traveling in a 1989 Ford Bronco II over Labor Day weekend in 2003 when he was unable to maintain control of the car. It left the highway, rolled over and ejected the driver from the vehicle. He suffered both paralysis and cognitive impairment. Doctors say that both conditions are permanent.
His lawsuit targeted Ford as the manufacturer, Firestone Tires as the supplier of an important component, and the dealership which sold him the car. Both the dealership and tire company settled his claims before trial, so the trial involved only Ford's culpability.
The victim asserted that the accident was largely the result of the tread belt coming apart from the tire on the car's left rear wheel. Prior similar incidents had caused other accidents, the plaintiff's attorneys argued. They also contended that the car's design made it more likely that tread belt separation would occur. Not only was the design defective, they claim tthat Ford was aware of this but chose not to take needed remedial action.
The jury in the trial found Ford liable, while concluding that the company did not act with actual malice, and rejected the design defect claim. Further deliberations will determine the exact amount of damages to be awarded for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and disability.

To me, painting is simultaneously a way for me to escape reality and to connect to a cultural heritage that would otherwise be foreign to me. My first art lessons starting from an age of nine introduced me to the simplest studies of techniques used by Chinese watercolor painters. However, as the years passed and I developed my own focus on representations of nature and landscape, I began to experiment with the myriad of different effects of various mediums on rice paper. In my most recent paintings, I try to use some of these techniques to highlight the interplay of light and dark to produce contrasting suggestions of night and day.
Joon Park
Joon Park, a pop surrealist, considered by some a lowbrow artist and also an experienced trompe-l'œil artist, has been an avid painter since his high school debut. His inspiration initially grew from Korean folk tales from his childhood, though he became even more engulfed by surrealism at an opportunity he had to reside in Europe. Overseas he was captivated by many European artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and Salvador Dali. His ever-growing curiosity in the many styles of art, while still focusing on surrealism, sparks his imagination. Joon is now influenced by many modern San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles based artists. While learning from multiples new artists' examples, he still practices the techniques of the old masters. Although he is still young and blossoming, Joon hopes his desire to paint will drive him into uncharted territory.
Akira Beard
For years I have been interested in people, always desiring to learn who we are psychologically, culturally, historically, etc. Unknowingly I would discover the human head as a form of expression to these ideas, and others. It began with paintings of familiar icons that were chosen specifically in relation to the chosen topic being explored in the individual art piece. These were more cultural ideas resulting from empathy with anyone living in the modern, western world. Currently with the 'headpieces' body of work, the exploration has evolved beyond the limits of culture, and into more universal ideas of love, beauty, humanity, and so on… attempting to paint the bigger picture of the world rather than a section of it… through the human head.

The Original Bio-fuel Is Now FREE!
I cycle quite a lot when I'm at work - as I only cover an area that's 5 x 4 miles, it's an ideal way to get around between clients. You could view this as being a little indulgent, but it gives me time to think about things, and it's perfectly aligned with my employer's environmental policies.
The only snag is in trying the claim the cost of all those bike miles - HMRC will let me claim 20p / mile, but all our expenses forms seem to be designed around the rate for cars. This didn't present a problem when that was 40p / mile, as all I did was enter half the miles for the journey I was claiming. But now HMRC have said that car journeys are 45p a mile, and entering 4/9 of my miles didn't seem to make much sense.
So I queried it, and got this reply back:
From: Helpdesk
Sent: 04 July 2011 12:13
To: Karl; XXXX; XXXX
Subject: RE: Mileage RateKarl
XXXXXXX have no expenses set up for bicycle so you will not be able to claim for this type of travel as there is no fuels or charges to yourself when using a bike.
The only expenses currently set up for XXXXXXX are listed below.
Evening MealI would suggest you speak to XXXX directly in regards to how to submit your expenses to them.
Kind Regards
Riding a bike I burn 700-1,200 calories per hour - depending on whether I'm ambling along (12mph), or going like the clappers (22mph). If I'm to avoid wasting away, I really do have to eat extra to replace those calories. But that's OK, because there are no fuel costs for a bike - food, it turns out is free. That's right - the original eco-friendly bio-fuel is officially free.
Also, there are no charges to myself in running a bike (their phrasing, not mine). Servicing, tools, spares, additional bikes, etc are all free. Well at least that should please Wife, even if it is a bit of a shock to the Local Bike Shop's cashflow.
So. My options:
- Keep schtum, and just claim everything as car mileage? Wouldn't that be dishonest?
- Conform to our car-centric culture, give up the bike and drive, because that seems to be what they want me to do? You've got to be kidding me!
- Exploit a loophole in the system? I can claim for lunch, tea, and evening meals, and they're what I'm using to fuel the bike.
- Take a stand & make an issue out of this? Highly unattractive, as I'm dealing with a bureaucracy that'd make the Vogon civil service look sympathetic.
- Any other ideas?

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is lobbying to land Cheryl Cole a stint on the drama, insisting the British singer would fit right in on the set.
The actress plays a suburban mom in the hit U.S. show and is adamant the Girls Aloud beauty would bring "real trouble" to Wisteria Lane — the fictional address of Housewives.
Hatcher tells Britain's News of the World, "Cheryl is a great role model and exactly the sort of woman (for whom) we would love to have a role on Desperate Housewives.
"Season seven is going to be a really great series and if she is fit enough I think it would be great to have her in a guest role for two or three episodes. With her looks she could cause some real trouble in Wisteria Lane. I am sure she would raise a few eyebrows from the residents there but in real life I hear she is an absolute darling and I think we would all get on so well."
Cole is currently enjoying a vacation in Los Angeles, where Desperate Housewives is filmed, following her hospitalization with malaria last month.

text: In general, the larger the precipitation particle the better it will detected by radar. However, not all particles of the same size will have the same reflectivity. Ice is more efficient at absorbing the energy emitted from radar as compared to liquid water. Combining size and precipitation type, we get the following relationships. With each statement below assume the precipitation rate is equal: 1. Dry snow will have a lower VIP than wet snow 2. Wet snow will not only have a higher VIP than dry snow, it will also have a higher VIP than rain. Wet snow has a reflectivity similar to very large raindrops. A wet snow flake is larger in volume than a liquid rain drop even when they have the same mass. This high reflectivity of wet snow causes the "bright band" on radar. 3. Wet hail has a higher VIP than dry hail. Wet hail has the largest reflectivity of any precipitation particle. Radar sees wet hail as a gigantic raindrop. |

French press review 4 September 2012
In today's French dailies, it's back to school for French students and back to the Eurozone crisis for European leaders.
Twelve million French youngsters go back to (or start) school this morning, a five per cent rise on last year. However, they will be welcomed by fewer teachers than 12 months ago as Sarkozy-era cuts make themselves felt.
The current French president, François Hollande, has promised to make education his number one priority, therefore his critics are expected to pay particularly close attention to this school year.
French newspapers reported that students, teachers and parents seem to be looking forward to a year in which great changes are promised . . . more teachers, better training, changes in the way the holidays are organised. But these all depend on finding enough cash to finance the improvements.
The communist paper L'Humanité did not hesitate to blame all the ills of the French school sector on the previous education minister, the right-wing Luc Chatel. The daily goes on to say that it is unrealistic to expect schools to promote the values of justice and equality in an unjust society.
Le Monde devotes a front-page editorial to what it calls "A crucial period for the Euro" - again. Mario Draghi, the man in charge at the European Central Bank, has recently been promising "exceptional measures" to save the Euro.
Most commentators took that to mean the European Bank will start buying treasury bonds in an effort to save the two struggling heavyweights, Spain and Italy. But the editorial points out that the varying market values of national bonds undermine the fundamental principles of the single currency, and there is no reason to believe that the speculators who profit from these variations are suddenly going to stop.
Still on money matters, Le Monde's economics supplement asks if the Paris Stock Exchange is on its last legs. Hammered by the financial crisis, along with a poor reputation outside France and unclear standards on financial regulation, the Paris Bourse is being abandoned by both big businesses and individual investors.
Le Monde warns, however, that alternative equity sources, such as private banks and investment firms, are in no position to fill the well-heeled shoes of the bourse, mainly because the exchange is the major source of the finance that fuels the French economy.

It sounds like one of those Zen koans that only make sense when youre stoned or nearing collapse from heatstroke.
If a government agency takes steps to improve transparency, but you cant see the results, can it still claim success?
This mystical conundrum arose after state Controller Brandon Woolf announced a new website providing easier access to state revenue, expenditure and employment data.
This is an important step in the transparency of government, said Gov. Butch Otter, who attended the announcement. People will be able to go online (http://transparent.idaho.gov) and see what the state is spending money on and where were spending it. I hope the federal government takes a look at this; Id like to see where its spending money.
Unfortunately, due to technical problems with the Legislatures Internet service, I couldnt actually connect to the site from inside the Capitol. It just kept loading and loading and loading.
It sounded pretty cool, though and if nothing else, the episode is a fabulous metaphor for life at the Statehouse. At times this place seems like a lost chapter from George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four, where peace is war, transparency is opaque and optimism is a sure path to pessimism.
Just a few hours after Woolfs announcement, for example, the Economic Outlook and Revenue Assessment Committee accepted the governors 2014 revenue projection of $2.8 billion, a healthy 5.3 percent increase over the current year despite the fact that the median revenue estimate from the 17 Republicans on the committee was more than $60 million below that.
It was fascinating talking with some of the five committee Democrats after the meeting. I came out of there feeling as cynical about the Legislature as Ive ever been, but they were almost glowing. After years of being slapped down every time they argued for higher revenue projections, they finally won one.
I went into the meeting thinking they were going to low-ball it again, said Sen. Dan Schmidt, D-Moscow. I walked out of there thinking, hey, this is great. I was (optimistic), too until I got to my door. Then I started thinking.
Yeah, that would do it.
The committee has had similar disagreements about revenue the past four years. Until now, its never been reluctant to go with a more conservative figure. In 2012, its forecast was $61 million below the governors. In 2011, it was $92 million less. In 2010, $143 million, and $101 million in 2009.
Even knowing that a lower number would mean deeper cuts for state agencies, the committee never hesitated to go there.
Not this year. Despite concerns that his projection was too high, Republicans went with the governors number. What gives?
Could the uncharacteristic move be related to talk about personal property tax relief? Pull too much money off the table at the start of the session and lawmakers cant give it back at the end.
Im not willing to close the door (on property tax relief), and if we tighten the number down too much it will stymie those discussions, said House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Oakley.
This same kind of doublethink was evident in the governors 2014 budget recommendation.
He included $34 million in the public schools budget as a placeholder to pay for any school reform legislation his stakeholder group might recommend next year. That let him take credit for a 2 percent increase in K-12 funding, so he could say in his State of the State address that my highest priority remains public schools.
But the joint budget committee doesnt approve placeholders. It never sets money aside in the vague hope that legislation will come forward in the future; the budgets it approves reflect only bills approved during the current session.
Without that $34 million, though, the governors 2 percent budget increase turns into an $8.6 million decrease and his highest priority becomes an afterthought to tax relief.
Makes you wonder if Orwell ever worked in a legislature. Here, more is almost always less.

After the Senate failed to block a filibuster today on the Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act of 2012, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) vowed to keep fighting for Ohio students and invited Ohio's college students and their families to share their financial aid stories on his website at brown.senate.gov/CollegeLoanStories. Brown will share some of the stories collected on his website with his colleagues through speeches on the Senate floor. More than 382,000 students across Ohio would be forced to pay significantly more in college loan costs unless Congress acts to block the interest rate from doubling on federally-subsidized Stafford loans. The Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act of 2012 would maintain the current interest rate, which is set at 3.4 percent, and prevent a hike to 6.8 percent scheduled for July 1st.
"This fight is far from over. My colleagues who voted to block consideration of our bill need to hear from more college students and less from special interests. That's why I'm asking students to share their student loan stories on my website. Tell me what low student loan rates have meant to your ability to afford college. Tell me how you would be affected if you had to pay more in student loan costs once you graduate. I'll be collecting your stories and sharing them on the Senate floor and with my colleagues," Brown said. "It's disappointing that some in the Senate would rather preserve tax breaks for the wealthy than help our best and brightest afford the ever-rising cost of a college education.
"I will continue working for Ohio's college students and middle-class families to ensure that they won't have to pay more for their student loans come July. I encourage students and their families to share their financial aid stories on my website at brown.senate.gov/collegeloanstories," Brown added. "Already, recent college graduates are struggling to find work, with half of young college graduates jobless or underemployed. Allowing the interest rates on federal student loans to double is a step backwards. Ohio students--and our economy--can't afford this sucker-punch at a time when we need to be doing more to get our economy back on track."
Student debt has reached nearly $1 trillion--exceeding credit cards and auto loans. Meanwhile, a new analysis released recently by the Associated Press found that half of young college graduates are either jobless or underemployed in positions that don't fully use their skills and knowledge.
According to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, a higher interest rate would add approximately $1,000 in loan debt per loan for the average student. The Stop the Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act, which is fully paid for, would keep the student loan interest rate from climbing by eliminating a tax loophole that the watchdog agency, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), has determined is a problem that currently allows some shareholder-employees of so-called "S corporations" to avoid paying their fair share of Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes.
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 cut the fixed interest rates on newly-subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate students to 3.4 percent over a set period of time, but the interest rates on any new subsidized Stafford loans will double to 6.8 percent on July 1, 2012 unless Congress takes action. The rate increase would not apply to loans that are currently in repayment or that have already been disbursed, but students still attending school after July 1st that need to take out new federally-subsidized Stafford loans would pay higher rates on the new loans, adding even more to their existing debt load.
Last year, Brown introduced the Student Loan Simplification and Opportunity Act of 2011, legislation that would simplify the student loan repayment process. This legislation would help borrowers avoid financial penalties for missed payments, save Ohio graduates money on their student loans, and bolster the federal Pell Grant program that helped send more than 240,000 Ohio students to college from 2008-2009.

For years, I avoided The Sopranos because I thought it was a show about high-pitched singers. When I realised it was actually about mobsters, I never missed an episode. Who doesn't love gangster shows?
Until recently, I also avoided MasterChef, as I don't much care for cooking shows. Then I learned that it, too, is in fact a show about gangsters. Now I'm glued to the thing six nights a week!
What's this, you say? MasterChef really is actually a cooking show? Sure. And Kyle Sandilands is a good bloke. Without question, MasterChef is a show about gangsters. Let's examine the evidence…
The first thing that betrays MasterChef is the way the so-called "judges" dress. No one who earns an honest living dresses like Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston, if indeed that is their real names. Our sources tell us they're really called "Squidgy, G-Dog and Big Matt".
On the subject of fake names, these guys have an imaginary friend called Heston Blumenthal. Good one. Like any real person has a name that silly.
Now look at guest judge Matt Moran. While we're told it's just a coincidence that he shares the same surname as an infamous Melbourne crime family, you'll excuse us for pointing out the eerie similarities between this portrait of Moran and the first "whacking" in The Sopranos.
Gangster jargon is another MasterChef giveaway. As we all know, gangsters talk in a weird coded tongue, full of words that mean other stuff. A "whacking" is a killing, a "friend of ours" is a mafia associate, a "marker" is a debt, a dead person "sleeps with the fishes" and so on.
The MasterChef judges do this too. They use strange little made-up words for things we already have perfectly good words for. Chocolate sauce is "ganache". Garden pests are "escargots". Soup that smells like wee is "consommé ". They even talk about a thing called "sabayon", which probably means some kind of mercy-killing.
Now to the location of the show. When movie mobsters trade illicit goods, the exchange always takes place in an old, empty warehouse. Where is MasterChef filmed? In a big, cold warehouse. We all know how easy it is to wipe food scraps – or blood – off concrete floors, right?
Still not convinced?
MasterChef "contestants" are banned from using mobile phones. Gangsters aren't too keen on being wired by the cops either.
Many of the "contestants" are "legitimate businessmen". One is a plumber, the next a carpenter, and so on. Have you ever seen a carpenter make anything more complicated than a cheese sandwich? Neither have we.
Matt Preston has a penchant for elaborate neckwear. So too did the most famous movie gangster of them all, Marlon Brando's Godfather.
Gangsters eat quickly, efficiently and with ruthless gusto. Ditto G-Dog, Squidgy and Big Matt. It's a miracle their faces aren't full of fork marks.
When people are about to get whacked by the mob, they plead for mercy. Have you ever seen how contestants fawn when they're on the verge of MasterChef elimination? What does "elimination" actually mean, anyway? What's it really a euphemism for? We shudder to think.
Those sick bastard judges even have a Stockholm Syndrome thing going. When a "contestant" cooks a shocking dish, the judges are ruthless. Then they come on all nice when they're about to wield the axe, so to speak. This really is one of the cruellest, most duplicitous psychological tricks imaginable.
Gangsters worship their mothers. MasterChef judges worship Maggie Beer.
And of course, MasterChef is full of food nerds. So too are America's prisons, as this classic scene from Goodfellas amply demonstrates.
And what about the way MasterChef cuts to the ad break with an explosion. Like everything else in this show, it is gangster imagery writ large.
Why has no one else ever gone public with all of this before?
Fear, of course. But here at the Punch, we're not afraid of a little moral crusading for the benefit of the public. You'll excuse us if we quietly disappear into hiding for a decade or two, yes?

Tubesteak says:
There's no point watching a cooking show if you don't get to eat the food at the end as it's just one long tease
It's like watching porn and commenting about the camera technique instead of masturbating.
fairsfair says:
I am glad wardrobe got G-Dogg out of the grey jackets and he bears a remarkable resemblence to Dr Evil.
I am sure Big Matt's wife wakes up every day to a horse's head in the bed. It probably still takes a couple of minutes to realise it is attached to an equally giant body.
Kirsty says:
You didn't mention the turf war ie taking over Coles and everything else they possibly can. It all makes sense now Coles pays Master Chef protection money but they had to do it under the ruse of 'promoting the show'. Also everybody knows gangs hide in restaurants so obviously thats where George comes in. It's all falling into place now.
nossy says:
The Sopranos Anthony - what a show that was - and the ending - well lets say we may see them again - at least the ones that didnt get bumped off !
Schmavo says:
The 'mob' keeps people guessing and Master Chef keeps people guessing. Who is going to win challenges, lose challenges, be eliminated and compete for immunity. I've got a show to work on…....Master Guess….... ciao
St. Michael says:
That first image of the three judges is awesome in context. Imagine them walking down that corridor in that formation, in slow motion with the tune "Little Green Bag" playing in the background…
julie says:
probably why all the contestants wear aprons ... they're the mugs doing the dirty work, 'cleaning up' .... and what about them all kissing each other? Everyone knows the ubiquitous kiss of death to signify who is next for the chop… no wonder the tears.
Kika says:
I will never watch an episode of this show. Boring. Please, make it go away!! Worst of all is the inevitable water cooler conversations at work
"did you watch MasterChef?"
"Yes! I can't believe what they did what that dessert!"
"I know! In 75 minutes? Amazing!"You wonder why we're so fat. We're food obsessed. We vicariously cook meals good decent meals through them. That's why it's such a popular show.
Knemon says:
Like Ant, I've just started watching this show and I've been sucked in also. What I don't understand is all the crying…it's cooking for Christ's sake, it's not the end of their life. I wouldn't say Matt dresses like a gangster, more like a big queen.
AAAdam says:
The worst thing about Masterchef is watching individual elimination challenges and seeing some people getting an unfair amount of help from their friends on the balcony. Make it fair and tell those on the balcony to shut the hell up.
The second worst thing about Masterchef is watching the Walrus (AKA Matt Preston) eat food. It annoys me of when he takes a tiny teaspoon of something and pretends he doesn't like it. We all know he didn't get that big eating with a teaspoon and being all picky about what he eats!
Gladys says:
I'm hoping to never watch an ep of the Sopranos. I want to die wondering what the hype is about.
iansand says:
The good news is that Masterchef have vacated that vast empty hall. It seems that a bunch of tall skinny gels with long legs and immaculate makeup have taken up residence. If only da boys had left some scraps behind…
Daniel says:
The judges are a bit harder this year they want to be tougher. The show is still great TV though.
Gabriella - The Stepford Wife says:
Oh how I enjoyed this post! I'll never look at MasterChef the same again - you have officially gotten this entire theory stuck in my head. Should I be thankng you?
Al Capone of Chicago says:
These judges aren't real gangsters, they're just wannabes that were old chefs of mine. You could say I eliminated them when I vomited up a dish Big Fat Matt made one night. Little did I know that when the television was invented, these copycat f*****s would be on TV. I'm calling Bugsy to shoot 'em down, and don't get me started on those gangsta rappers.
PS. Give me that pinstriped suit back Matt
gnome says:
I watched the first two series, but the three fat wankers and the artificiality got to me in the end. Where do I sigh up to get rid of this crap?
AnthonyG says:
Is this show meant to be a comedy. I think its hillarious how these chubby guys pack so much food in their gutses every night.
The producers should make the contestants cook baked beans and then have closeups of everyone.
deb says:
You have all made my day,read all the comments.Better than the story.Luv a laugh first thing in the mourning.Takes the mind off wanting a big fry-up for breaky.
Marie says:
Now the buggars are off to New York. So unfair! I've wanted to go there since I was 12 (now 36). So, all I had to do is go on a TV show cooking comp? Damn! Need to think ahead.
giggles says:
You made my day - tears rolling down my face. Best thing I have read in ages.
Thank you
J says:
Ok its a funny post, but what is with all the negativity about the judges clothing,weight, looks ect? you dont like the show? guess what?? I have a big secret for you that will blow your mind…..DONT WATCH IT! dont ask how you can get it off air just because YOU dont like it. The world doesnt cater to your personal needs. Let the judges be who they are, and let the people who like the show, watch it. Otherwise shove off.
yourstruely says:
did someone watched last night show when the making of cheese cake was sounding like a script from porn movie ..LOL….. i guess the article is a beautiful peace put together by the author and it seems like a humble show about food is becoming mafia oriented money making business with complex shit ass words ....
scott the realist says:
The show is about tossers trying to tell you what tastes good or not, which is impossible, like they say what people don't know if it's called a fancy anme and plated well you could serve most people a turd in an expensive restaurant and they will eat it without complaining as they are too embarrassed to sya it tastes like shit in case they look stupid or low class, having worked and eaten in some highly recomened and prestigiuos restaurants they are not worth the money and the food can be average to poor in most, Your own taste is your own taste by all means taste lots of things but make the recipe any recipe to your own taste experiment.
deb says:
My, my dont we just get all upset about nuthing!
Me? I think Masterchef is a load of crap.
As someone who has had to do her own invention tests over the years,you know the ones,little money lots of mouths to feed.
Get the picture? How about a little realistic cooking on that show.
With the price of food going thru the roof and watching those idiots smiling while serving up something with what looks like stains running down the plate? give me a break!
deb says:
Who burned the porridge? tried to watch that crap last night.what a load of crap! Poor old miners.
jimbo says:
Last nights episode was surely a comedy. I was in stitches watching the four contestants trying to make a hamburger from scratch. One of the poor cooks finished up with about 15 kg of various types of meat in three different bowls and then seemed to lose track of what day it was and what the hell she was doing there. After a bit of coaching and using about $100 worth of food she managed to produce a burger that looked like Homer Simpson would have made on a bad day. The lesson learned, I think, was, you should try not to have a major breakdown while making a hamburger for lunch.
Chris says:
Masterchef is not about food. They must have an army of psychologists to screen the potential contestants - firstly they have to find people who suffer the delusion that they really are masterchefs, and then they have to screen for totally inadequate personalities- the sort of adults who cry if they don't win or jump up and clap their hands if they do. Watching the judges psychologically torture these misfits is too much. If they were doing it to animals there would be an outcry.

Wedding Cake Ideas – Princess Cake
I cannot recall the exact time of the first time I watched Cinderella but I still remember covering my face with my mom's sofa pillows as I gazed Cinderella kissing the prince in front of their fabulous wedding cake as the narrator said "…and they lived happily ever after" through the pillows edges. As I grow up, I still remember the feeling I hope I will be getting: the feeling I got when I watched the romantic cartoon. This maybe is embarrassing but true. I believe most girls in the world carry the dream of being a cartoon princess and live happily ever after in their marriage life with their prince charming in their hearts.

A proposal to teach middle- and high-school students about healthy relationships is having difficulty gaining traction despite legislative and community support.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Denver District Attorney's Office
A Denver man has been charged with harassing a state senator after officials say he left a threatening message on Senator Andrew Kerr's voicemail.
David Cassidy, 54, was charged last week with attempt to influence a public servant, a felony charge, and harassment, a misdemeanor. He was formally advised of the charges Tuesday in a Denver County courtroom.
Cassidy is accused of trying to sway Kerr's opinion or actions through threats. He allegedly left a threatening voicemail on March 4.
Documents from the Denver Police Department state that an investigator met with Cassidy at his home a few days after the voicemail was left on the Senator's cell phone. The message reportedly said "We'll get you out [of office] by ballots or bullets."
When contacted by an investigator, Cassidy said he did not mean that as a direct threat to Kerr.
Cassidy is scheduled to appear in court Monday, April 15. He is currently out on a $5,000 bond.

Can you murder for love?
In the third novel of the series, the nameless detective visits a decrepit country house to look into the case of a lady of the manor who has disappeared.
It is, as always for the nameless one, a deeply unsettling investigation of love and damnation. The woman's husband seems to love her entirely. And yet he seems reluctant to find her. Meanwhile other cops are getting in the way of the Sergeant and he's making new enemies on the force.
With his trademark sense of enraged compassion, the Sergeant fights to find a murderer not by following analytical procedure, but by doing the most difficult thing of all: understanding why crimes are committed.
About The Author:
Derek Raymond was the pseudonym of British writer Robert Cook, who was born in London in 1931. The son of a textile magnate, he dropped out of Eton and rejected a life of privilege for a life of adventure. He traveled the world, living in Paris at the Beat Hotel and on New York's seedy Lower East Side, smuggled artworks into Amsterdam, and spent time in a Spanish prison for publicly making fun of Franco. Finally, he landed back in London, working in the lower echelons of the Kray Brothers' crime syndicate laundering money, organizing illegal gambling, and setting up insurance scams. He eventually took to writing—first as a pornographer, but then as an increasingly serious novelist, writing about the desperate characters and experiences he'd known in London's underground. His work culminated in the Factory novels, landmarks that have led many to consider him the founding father of British noir. He died in London in 1993.

Giving Opportunities - Faculty and Staff
Hyman and Genevieve Feinstein
Hyman Feinstein was a respected Mason chemistry professor remembered by one of his students as an "extraordinary, larger than life" figure during the institution's early days; Genevieve Feinstein, a Mason mathematics professor who died last year at the age of 93, was a World War II cryptanalyst whose modesty belied her significance in history.
Their devotion to one another and to Mason was strong and enduring. Together, they made the largest cash gift ever given to Mason by former faculty members to endow scholarships.
In January, the National Security Agency (NSA) paid tribute to the Genevieve Grotjan Feinstein, a former Mason math professor, for her significant research in the field of cryptology during World War II. Feinstein, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 93, will receive a place in the NSA's Hall of Honor.

Each year, CHNM's many project websites receive over 16 million visitors, and more than a million people rely on its digital tools to teach, learn, and conduct research. Currently, all donations to the CHNM endowment will be matched by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
