Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw have landed in the number two spot on the Los Angeles Times' annual "Ultimate Top 10" list.
The list, based on concert receipts and record sales, estimates that Kenny and Tim raked in a combined $124 million with their Brothers of the Sun tour and music sales. WOW!
Jason Aldean took sixth place with a $65 million combined payday. Taylor Swift had the most music downloads in 2012, 216 million in all, but couldn't crack the Top 10 in earnings.
Who beat Kenny and Tim for the number one spot? That would be Madonna who brought in $144 million and most of that money was from touring.

What's up with that?
Q What's up with the CTA's downtown tracks being painted maroon, like at Jackson Boulevard and Wabash Avenue?
A The color that coats the steel structure isn't maroon, it's "bordeaux," and it's part of a larger scheme to spruce up the Wabash corridor between Wacker Drive and Harrison Street. The tracks are in the hands of the Chicago Department of Transportation, not the Chicago Transit Authority: The $23 million project improvements, which began last July and will be completed next summer, also will include new street lighting, sidewalks, planters and even sconcelike accent lights on some of the vertical steel pillars. "The thinking was to develop an identity for the Wabash corridor that for decades has been home to a lot of businesses, like Jewelers Row," says Brian Steele, spokesman for CDOT, which worked closely with the Chicago Loop Alliance. The downtown work is similar to CDOT's streetscaping projects in other parts of the city, like Halsted Street in Boystown, Clark Street in Andersonville and 79th Street in Auburn-Gresham. But painting the train tracks—with the same color that's covered the downtown bridges since the late '80s—isn't just aesthetic, Steele says. "Like with the bridge painting, the [finish] is functional. It's long-lasting and weather-resistant, and will help prevent the deterioration of the steel structure, which is 100 years old." If only a paint job could patch up all of the CTA's problems.

Snacking might be keeping you from losing the extra weight that has been bothering you. Studies have shown that people who eat after 8 p.m. are fatter than people who don't. The body mass indexes (or BMIs) of those who enjoy snacking after 8 p.m. tend to be higher than those who don't, even when they consume the same number of calories or less.
The studies also showed that night eaters were missing nearly four more teeth than those who finished eating before 8 p.m..

Don't despair or give up — ASK US FOR HELP.
If you're behind in mortgage payments, got a letter from your bank or are facing a foreclosure in Hawaii, then it's important that we speak right away. Why? Because we may be able to help you move forward — at no cost to you.
Before I continue, let me make this point upfront: Do NOT give anyone any upfront money to stop your foreclosure. There are many people who would scam you for money with promises of loan modifications or other solutions. Do not give them any money, no matter what they promise you.
We're not realtors or loan officers. We buy houses and provide assistance to homeowners in all kinds of situations — including preventing a foreclosure.
We can help you in different ways, depending on your goal. If you wish to keep your property, then we can help you better understand your options and help point you in the right direction.
If it's better to sell your house…
However, if you've decided that it's in your best interest to sell your house and put the mortgage and debt behind you once and for all, then we may be your #1 option because we actually buy houses right here in Hawaii. We're not realtors — WE'RE ACTUAL HOUSE BUYERS.
We work with homeowners just like you wish to get out from a bad mortgage, difficult financial situation or who wish to avoid an impending foreclosure.
If you want to sell your house easily, stress-free and "as is", then talk to us today. Even if you owe more on your mortgage then your house is worth, we can still work with you. If the situation calls for a short sale, then we'll work with your bank. This will be at NO CHARGE to you. This is a FREE SOLUTION. Yes, FREE.
How good would it feel put it all behind you?
When the bank is knocking at your door and a foreclosure is around the corner, you need local, professional help. You need a team who has done this before, over and over and knows how to get the job done. That's us. After all, it's not just your financial situation that's at stake — it's your peace of mind. It's your future.
How good would it feel to finally put it all behind you? What would it feel like to know the bank has gone away for good? That you can start building a future again? That you can start moving forward instead of backward? Wouldn't that feel amazing? That's what we're here for. That's why we'd like you to contact us TODAY.
We work with you for FREE. Why pay someone else for help?
Here are just some of the benefits of selling your house to Big Rock Investments:
- CASH transaction. No bank delays or mortgage appraisals.
- FAST sale. We can close in 30 days or less, sometimes in as little as 10 days. You tell us your preferred date of closing.
- Sell your house "As Is". No matter the condition of your property, we can buy it. Don't spend any money on repairs.
- No commissions. You won't pay any agent commissions. Keep that 6%.
- If you owe more than your house is worth, it's OK. We can work with your bank on a short sale — at no cost to you.
How it Works
- Fill out the Contact Form on this page or call us at (808) 377-4379.
- We'll talk about your property and your situation. This is a free "no obligation" consultation call.
- We'll arrange a visit to the property with you.
- You'll either receive a cash offer for your house or we can start the short sale process, depending on how much you owe.
- We work together towards a successful sale.
- Congratulations! You've sold your house and the foreclosure has gone away!

F1 discussion
Watching the evening news, I caught I story about an idiot footballer here in Australia. Darren Lockyer is a member of a the Brisbane Broncos rugby league team, and after a very heavy hit in his last game, he has a fractured eye socket. The Broncos are about to play a do-or-die game that could see them through to the finals, and Lockyer is determined to play. However, for the past three days, just about every doctor in the country has said Lockyer should not play – if he takes another hit, it could cost him his eyesight. Lockyer, however, insists on playing, thinking he knows better than two hundred thousand medical opinions. When the doctors advised him to wear headgear to protect his face, he refused. In a sport full of morons and thugs, Lockyer has always struck me as a moronic thug.
But it did get me thinking: when, if ever, has a driver done something despite absolutely everyone up and down the paddock thinking that it is the dumbest thing he could have done? The only example I could think of would be if Sergio Perez had raced in Canada this year despite feeling dizzy and feeling the after-effects of his Monaco crash. Anyone else?
Do you mean everyone in the paddock thinking that in foresight, or hindsight? ie everyone thought they shouldn't do it, but then *holy crap someone did it!* or someone did something, then *why on earth did he do that?
PM, I raise your Darren Lockyer and give you Brendan Fevola..
Surely one of the stupidest men to have ever walked the face of the Earth..
ie everyone thought they shouldn't do it, but then *holy crap someone did it!* or someone did something, then *why on earth did he do that?
Either-or, really.
Prisoner Monkeys, I'm guessing by your mention of Lockyer that you're in the NRL media saturation zone (also known as QLD or NSW). Which one is it.
Hi, from QLD.
I'd prefer not to say.
Too many enemies? :p
I know everybody in motoGP gets injured and rides on regardless, but I remember one in particular where I believe it was Lorenzo who had broken or fractured both ankles. He was at the Bugatti round soon after and the commentators winced whenever he went across a gravel trap and had to lift his legs clear to make sure he didn't put any pressure on his ankles while bouncing across.
I can't think of anything in particular in F1, although I suspect that Lauda racing with blood seeping through his bandages wasn't considered wise by doctors at the time.
When are drivers idiots? Tune in to a NASCAR race and you'll see a truckload of stupidity. I think this is what attracted Nelson Piquet Jr. to race in the States.
Here's a few suggestions:
Mark Webber hiding an injury from his team last year.
Nelson Piquet Jr.'s deliberate crash.
Montoya announcing his switch to NASCAR before the end of the season, and promptly getting fired.
F1 drivers are generally a sensible bunch, but even so I bet there are a few more.
Good examples Don.
One I can think of where everyone thought a driver was a plank but he turned out to be inspired was Button signing for Mclaren. Almost everyone (including me) thought Hamilton would hammer him.
If Kimi does want to get back into F1 although I seriously doubt he does then he's a fool for walking away in the first place.
Glock not signing for Renault but Virgin.
Massa moving over for Alonso?
Alonso pitting to cover Webber last year at Abu Dhabi.
Kimi putting on full wet tyres on a bone dry Malaysian track in 09.
Pastor smacking into Hamilton's car at Spa.
This isn't a driver but Ferrari hiring Badoer right after Massa's crash and it was pretty obvious before he even got in the F60 that he wouldn't be up to scratch.
How about Villenueve and Zonta having a bet who could take Eau Rouge flat out in 1999. Both had massive accidents trying it.
How about Andrea de Cesaris telling the Jordan team that Eau Rouge and Blanchimont would be impossible to take flat because the car became unstable at those flat out speeds? Just before Schumi took them flat that is
If there was a driver in a Lockyer-esque situation in F1, Gary Hartstein would simply say "you're not driving". Driving in contravention of such an order from him would be a breach of the driver's Superlicence, so they wouldn't be driving in F1 again whether they came to harm in the race or not. The teams know this and would prevent their driver from having the car in order to protect their ability to compete for them in the future.
There have been a few occasions where drivers have competed when they probably shouldn't have done, by successfully hiding the true extent of their injuries from whichever doctor was on duty at the time. This does not mean, however, that they get to compete – Martin Brundle crashed in qualifying at Monaco in 1984 and tried to go back out on track despite concussion (Martin estimated later he was about 30% conscious at the time). When Ken Tyrrell heard him ask, "Which way do I turn at the end of the pit lane?", he stopped the car and insisted Martin cease attempting to qualify.
The other one I remember well was when Giancarlo Fisichella fractured his knee in a testing accident close to the start of the season. Normally, this would be enough to be barred from competing for a while, but somehow the truth got hidden for several months, aided and abetted by the team. This in itself would count as pretty inadvisable, but crashing heavily in the second race of the season – when the knee was presumably still healing and caution would have been the order of the day – takes the matter into "idiocy" territory…
Mansell driving with his seat filling with fuel, just a little spark could of seen him on fire
Well if you want an example of drivers being complete, erm, non-idiots, then Perez this year in Canada, after his shunt at Monaco. He had the honesty to admit that he didn't feel up to driving – let de la Rosa take his place and sit out the weekend. I have a lot of respect for him after that, I could imagine that a lot of drivers would have been tempted to just grin and bear it just for the sake racing.

Bass pick
Lp action figure
Iridescent cards
LPU Guitar Strap
LPU Lanyard
LPU T-Shirt
I know it seems like something that requires a lot of time / work (maybe you could do it once later in the future...) But it can really be something very personal from the band to the fans and I think many fans will actually enjoy this:
An LPU magazine issue (it doesn't have to be huge) that may contain the following:
- LPU stuff: past annual news highlights, pictures from shows / m&g's / summits, stuff / feedback from LPU members, etc...
- Band stuff: tiny interview, mini poster, pictures on the road, funny stories, jokes by band members, general and funny facts about each band member (told by the guys themselves, not gossip of course! xp), etc...
Im always excited about gear, things to show you love the band and people will ask you about it.
I want to have a LP tattoo but i am not ready for a real one so i'd like to get TEMPORARY TATTOO SHEET with different logos or smth like that. It's easy to do and not expensive.
Also i'd like to get some kind of magazine or newspaper... with photos we have never seen... or a DVD with the same stuff + videos.
And of course:
T Shirt
and also pendent
Passport case?
In-car air freshner?
LPU socks haha!
Big fabric LPU thing to hang up on a wall? (like this http://blackchester.deviantart.com/art/Linkin-Park-Flag-FFM-2010-19...) they're light to ship and presumably cheapish to make?
Just trying to think outside the box here..

Adirondack-style Cabins
The philosophy behind an Adirondack cabin pays homage to the beauty of the Ozarks
Trophy Run features Adirondack-style cabins and lodges purposefully designed to exist in harmony with nature. Natural stone, custom metal work, and fine quality wood exteriors provide a classic, comfortable elegance with design intricacies that will effortlessly endure the test of time.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century the great camps of the Adirondack Mountains began to rise. These grandiose family compounds of cabins were built on lakes such as Spitfire Lake and Rainbow Lake. The camps were summer homes for the wealthy, where they could relax, host or attend parties, and enjoy the wilderness. The Adirondacks buildings
were recognized for their rugged finish and outstanding craftsmanship. The Adirondack style of building intrinsically tailors itself to its surroundings–in his book, "Great Camps of the Adirondacks," Harvey Kaiser describes the architecture as being:
"Consciously sited in remote locations, characterized by the use of logs and indigenous stone, shingled roofs with broad overhangs and porches, and simply-proportioned window and door openings, these building complexes are among our most original examples of vernacular architecture."
One can escape from the busy world and relax quietly on a tree-shaded deck or enjoy the lake. Access to hiking trails are a short walk away. Inside a Trophy Run cabin, you'll find all the conveniences of home, including a well equipped kitchen, fireplace, sofa sleeper, cable LCD TV and media player, gas grill and outdoor furnishings. Guests to these charming cabins enjoy complimentary walking and bring your own bike privileges as well as horseshoes, kite flying, croquet, and other outdoor activities.
As one would expect, trout fishing is a cherished aspect of the Trophy Run experience. With that in mind, each Trophy Run Cabin, and future cabins have been named after a different legendary fly-fishing-pattern. Learn more about our individual cabins here.
As one would expect, Lake Taneycomo trout fishing is a cherished aspect of the Trophy Run experience. With that in mind, each Trophy Run Branson, MO Cabin, and future cabins have been named after a different fly-fishing-pattern.

Securing a meaningful recovery for investors defrauded in a hedge fund, securities scam or Ponzi scheme requires the services of a sophisticated investigative staff and a complex trial team, along with domestic and international insolvency experience. Stradley Ronon's Hedge Fund & Financial Fraud Team has represented institutional investors, fund-of-funds, individual investors and a court-appointed Receiver in connection with the most substantial financial frauds of the last decade. When the CFTC discovered a massive fraud at the Philadelphia Alternative Asset Fund, a Stradley Ronon partner was appointed by the Court to serve as the Receiver for the fund. Acting on behalf of the Receiver, Stradley Ronon's team conducted a full investigation and commenced litigation against various third parties, leading to a recovery of approximately $180 million (more than 60% of the amount invested) for the benefit of defrauded institutional investors worldwide. Stradley Ronon's team is currently engaged on behalf of mutual funds, institutional investors, charitable foundations and individual investors victimized by Ponzi schemes and corporate fraud ranging from Bernard Madoff to Satyam Computer Services, Ltd. Given our experience, Stradley Ronon's Hedge Fund & Financial Fraud Team can assist institutional and individual investors in addressing the complex questions posed by fraudulent schemes of this magnitude:
In addition, the Stradley Ronon team collaboratively assists organizations, foundations and charities through the complicated process of dealing with fraud. Our nonprofit & religious organizations group specializes in handling litigation and complex issues for tax-exempt organizations, the majority of which we represent under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Of particular note, Practice Group Chair Mark Chopko has more than 20 years of experience serving as the principal legal officer to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and now continues to advise nonprofit and religious organizations in various matters including structural, business, governance, regulatory and general litigation.

I'm a girl that enjoys to laugh, I know this sounds cliche but a do like a good sense of humour. I can be sarcastic at times but not in a mean way and can take sarcasm back. I don't have a type I go for, I think it all depends on the person and how you get on with them.
I enjoy listening to all sorts of music, depends what mood I am in and suppose its the same with films, although a good thriller or comedy is probably my favourite.
I enjoy quiet nights in with good food, wine and a film but also enjoy going out to the pub with friends.
So if I sound like your kind of girl feel free to get in touch.

Japan eager to mend ties with South Korea
By IANS,
Tokyo: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe revealed Tuesday that he was preparing to hold telephone talks with South Korean President Park Geun-hye to mend their soured bilateral relations.
Abe said that he will take advantage of the launches of the new governments in the two countries to build "future-oriented" relations with South Korea, Xinhua reported.
On Monday, during a meeting with Japan's former finance minister Fukushiro Nukaga, Abe said he wants to improve Tokyo-Seoul relations that soured due to territorial dispute.
Japan and South Korea claim sovereignty over two islands, which are called as Dokdo in South Korea and Takeshima in Japan, in the Sea of Japan. The islets are controlled by South Korea.
Japan reiterated several times its willingness to mend ties with South Korea since Abe returned to power last December. But both sides seemingly adopted little tangible actions to mend ties and sparkled more verbal attacks.
Despite South Korean opposition, Japan recently held the annual "Takeshima Day" to commemorate the disputed islets. The government sent Aiko Shimajiri, a parliamentary secretary with the cabinet office, to the event, marking the first occupant of one of the top three posts for lawmakers in a government ministry to attend the event.
The event triggered strong opposition in Seoul immediately as many South Koreans gathered in front of Japan's embassy in Seoul to protest against the event.

High expectations as Championship looms
The Runner | Oct 25, 2010 | Comments 0
Meet Kyle. He likes writing about sports. He also believes in a no-holds-bar approach when talking about it. Beware, it's time for 'Eagles Watch.'
By Kyle Benning [Sports Bureau Chief]
After last year's provincial championship and national bronze medal, the women's soccer team was labeled the "team to beat" for the 2010 season.
However, the Eagles picked up a new coach in Gordon Smith, a man who has been in the game for more than 30 years.
For many teams, a change of coach would be a problem. But the transition seemed to go smoothly as the women won their first three matches.
However with the team's recent mental lapse and lost to UBCO and Douglas, the strech saw them pick up four points in as many games.
That stretch has cost them in the front seat in their group, which is also a first-round bye in the BCCAA Provincial Championships. The good news is that they can still finish at the top of their group.
The Eagles go on the road and take on Kelowna on Oct. 23 to play the current leaders, UBCO.
A win is the only option if the women want to finish at the top of their group and enter the provincials, which the Eagles are hosting, at the semifinal stage.
Even if the women beatUBCO, they will need to beat Thompson Rivers the following day. They will also need some help from Douglas in ensuring the Heat settle for a draw, if not lose.
Since the tournament takes part over a span of three consecutive days, I'm sure the Eagles would love to have the first day to rest, and play a team who had a match the previous day.
After all, only one team from the BCCAA division qualifies for the nationals. So a second provincial title is crucial if the women want to go to Edmonton.
One point worth mentioning is that Kathleen Gratz will not be able to play for a few matches.
She was sent off in the 2-1 win against Langara over a controversial call from the official who claimed that Gratz was throwing elbows.
It is a shame because the first-year player has looked very strong and knows how to hold the ball and bring the midfield into the attack.
The men's team should take notes, because she is the ideal centre forward.
Speaking about forwards, Eagles striker Shanay Sangha is in the running for the BCCAA Golden Boot award and has put away 6 goals in 10 matches.
At the other side of the pitch, Melina Gomez has been keeping the score sheet pretty tidy and is in the running for the BCCAA Golden Glove award keeping seven clean sheets so far this season.
Coach Smith should feel proud of what he has accomplished this year, despite the high expectations. He will need to rally his troops for a last minute push to try and get the best position possible for the upcoming championships.

LSU Adds Hardeman to 2014 Class; More Camp Notes
Chris Hardeman |
The good news keeps coming for LSU during their second summer camp. On Monday afternoon, 2014 defensive back Chris Hardeman committed to LSU. Despite some initial confusion over whether the commitment would be accepted by Les Miles, Hardeman is indeed on board and LSU's second commitment for next year's class.
Hardeman is on the smaller side, listed at either 5'8" or 5'9" but he is filled out, at around 180 pounds. He's got good speed and good cover skills as you would expect. He's pretty highly thought of in recruiting circles. Lone Star Recruiting's early Texas Top 100 for the Class of 2014 ranks Hardeman as the #12 player in the state of Texas. Typically, players ranked in the 10-15 range in the state of Texas are right on the fringe of being national Top 100 prospects. So Hardeman is no slouch. He is; however, different from what LSU typically targets at the cornerback position, and he'll have some obvious limitations due to his height. The general thought is that LSU has him pegged as a nickel/dime back that can match up with slot receivers and blitz the quarterback effectively. In other words, they're hoping he'll fill the roles played by other smaller defensive backs the last two years in Tryann Mathieu and Ron Brooks.
Hardeman also held early offers from Texas A&M, Ohio State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Baylor to name a few.
Here is some video I found on Hardeman.
Here are some other notes from Monday's camp action:
- East Felciana linebacker Kendell Beckwith was at camp and was working out. LSU is locked in a heated recruiting battle with Alabama for Beckwith, who some services rank as the top prospect in Louisiana. It was good to see him back at LSU spending time with the coaching staff and LSU's committed players. He also reportedly looked really good in workouts. Several different onlookers observed that he has shed some bad weight and was much more effective in coverage than he was at LSU's camp in June. According to David Helman of ESPN, Beckwith will be back at LSU tomorrow.
- Hawaii defensive tackle Scott Pagano is visiting a number of schools in the southeast including LSU, Alabama, and Florida. He was at LSU today and will continue his tour throughout the week. His visit supposedly went great.
Rivals 250 Honolulu (HI) DT Scott Pagano says #LSU visit was great really set the bar high for other visits. Leaving tomorrow to see #Bama
— Blake Alderman (@MistaAlderman) July 16, 2012
- Houston, TX defensive end Torrodney Prevot was in attendance today but did not work out due to a sprained ankle. He met with Les Miles late in the afternoon but did not commit. He wasn't expected to commit, so that's no surprise but hopefully he enjoyed the visit. He maintains that he wants to decide prior to the start of his senior season, and it's expected his decision will come between Texas A&M and LSU.
- Florida cornerback Rashard Robinson worked out again today, and the rumors persist that he could be LSU's next commitment. We've had one so far each day of this camp. Could Robinson be Tuesday's?
- LSU commitment Michael Patterson, a defensive end, reportedly performed very well in 1-on-1 drills on Monday.
Class of 2014
- John Curtis wide receiver Malachi Dupre was one of the big head turners of the day. He might be a little raw but showed off some outstanding speed and athleticism and made some big plays. Dupre doesn't have much for stats in the run-oriented system at John Curtis, but he's still ranked as the #77 overall player in the nation by 247 Sports. Dupre is listed as 6'2" 185. Per Sonny Shipp of 247 Sports, he earned an offer from LSU on Monday evening.
- Barbe's Trey Quinn had another outstanding day and continues to be a favorite to land an offer from LSU.
- Barton Simmons of 247 Sports was on hand and had a few comments about Dupre and Quinn:
2014 WR Trey Quinn is a stud. Kind of a poor man's Jarvis Landry.
— Barton Simmons (@bartonsimmons) July 16, 2012
Malachi Dupree with one of the catches of the day with a rare catch over TreDavious White.
— Barton Simmons (@bartonsimmons) July 16, 2012
I don't know how many WRs #LSU is taking in 2014 but if I'm them, I'm wrapping up Malachi Dupree and Trey Quinn right now w/o hesitation.
— Barton Simmons (@bartonsimmons) July 16, 2012
- Westlake tight-end Jacory Washington was in attendance and worked out, though he couldn't go full speed due to a tweaked hamstring. Regardless, I'd be really surprised if he didn't receive an offer from LSU soon.
- Defensive end Davon Godchaux had his second straight good day at camp. I suspect the offers for Godchaux will start rolling in soon.
- Neville defensive back Laurence Jones was on campus working out. Jones is one of the top five prospects in the state next year and could be a five star prospect.
- Another tight-end, Jeb Blazevich, from Charlotte, NC was in attendance and stood out. Blazevich already holds an offer from LSU, along with about a dozen other schools.
- Lancaster, Texas defensive back Nick Harvey was in attendance though he wasn't working out. Harvey will be one of the top defensive back prospects in the nation next year. He projects as a cornerback.
- Karr defensive lineman Gerald Willis is at Alabama but may be at LSU tomorrow.
- In a non-camp note, blue chip cornerback Jalen Ramsey committed to USC on Monday. LSU and USC are both hot in pursuit of Arizona defensive back Priest Willis. And while I don't believe USC would turn away Willis, they are really filling up with elite talent in the secondary in this class. Maybe that is enough to sway Willis away from USC and possibly to LSU. Willis is supposed to visit LSU on an unofficial visit sometime next week. If that actually takes place, then he'll definitely be one to watch. I think LSU would find a spot for Wills in this class.

A large corner of the opaque world of derivatives was supposed to be a lot brighter on Monday thanks to new rules passed as a result of the financial crisis. But some traders in the $650 trillion market for privately negotiated derivatives say they still are pretty much in the dark.
Banks and other financial firms that are large dealers of certain complex derivatives called swaps must publicly report the size, price and other details of trades under new rules by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that went into effect Monday.
Open Markets
Some of the new reporting requirements for derivatives trades:
- 65: Number of 'registered' swap dealers that must hand over data
- Dec. 31, 2012: Start date for interest-rate and credit swaps
- Feb. 28: Start date for stock, foreign-exchange and most commodities swaps
- 'As soon as technologically practicable': Deadline for reporting swaps data
- 15 minutes to one hour: How fast most trades on open platforms become public
Source: Commodity Futures Trading Commission
The regulator described the transparency rules as the beginning of "real-time public reporting of swap transactions" in an announcement Wednesday, with CFTC Commissioner Gary Gensler calling the rules an "historic change."
Many blamed swaps for worsening the financial crisis, and the CFTC aims to make the market safer by pushing swaps into the open. It hopes that public pricing data also will help companies more effectively use swaps to protect against fluctuations in interest rates, bond prices and other assets. These "end users" are on the other side of trades with banks, but typically don't have access to as much market data.
But traders and analysts say they are underwhelmed by the data on display so far.
The CFTC is allowing many trades to be reported after a delay, in some cases several hours, while it finishes disclosure rules. That gap isn't much of an improvement over trade data already available—for a fee—through services like Bloomberg or brokers, said Luke Zubrod, director at Chatham Financial, an adviser of customers in the swaps market.
"It would seem it is a step in the direction of real-time but not there yet," Mr. Zubrod said, adding he is "skeptical" the new data will provide much value.
As is, the data is "not useful for pricing purposes," because the value of interest-rate swaps can change several times inside of one minute, let alone an hour or more, said Peter Shapiro, managing director at Swap Financial Group, a firm that advises end-users.
However, the data could help traders keep track of unique swaps that don't trade regularly, said Ashish Shah, head of credit at AllianceBernstein, who helps oversee a $235 billion fixed-income portfolio.
A CFTC spokesman didn't respond to requests for comment.
The CFTC is allowing longer delays for reporting trades because some of the rules aren't finished or haven't gone into effect. For example, it is still hammering out the definition of a market-moving, or "block," trade.
Some swaps users and types of trades have temporary waivers allowing extra reporting time, often an hour or more.
By next year, more trades will need to go public within a 15-minute window. That would mirror the reporting deadline for corporate bonds and other fixed-income assets required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an industry-run regulator.
And while the CFTC approved three firms to gather and report data, only one, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., has publicly displayed trades this week.

Marisol Collazo, global head of business operations at DerivSERV, a unit of the DTCC, said the notion of real-time reporting for swaps at present is "a misnomer because there is a time delay applied to everything."
Still, Ms. Collazo said that, "considering the day before Dec. 31 there wasn't any price dissemination at all, one could argue it's a significant step forward."

Myth #23 - Old Radio Daze in Nevada |
by Guy Rocha, former Nevada State Archivist Few persons recall the days before radios. Fewer yet remember Nevada's first radio station. Was it really KOH of Reno as we've been told over the years? The technology dates back to 1895 when Guglielmo Marconi became the first person to send radio communication signals through the air. Eleven years later, Reginald Fessenden first transmitted voice and music by radio. By 1910, experimental radio broadcasts were coursing over the airwaves, and the Radio Act of 1912 called for the federal licensing of radio stations. Stations WWJ of Detroit and KDKA of Pittsburgh made the first regular commercial broadcasts in 1920. Licensed radio stations came to Nevada during the "Roaring 20s." Contrary to popular belief, KOH was not the first licensed radio station in the Silver State, although it was the longest continuously running radio station in Nevada. The first official broadcast was transmitted from the Elks Building in downtown Reno on October 27, 1928. In pre-broadcast tests conducted by the small, 100-watt station, the signal had been heard clearly and distinctly in San Francisco. However, there were radio stations before KOH in Nevada and some were licensed. Among the earliest was a wireless station at the University of Nevada in 1916. In April 1922, the university was issued a license to operate radio station KOJ, however the station never officially went on the air. In addition, radio hobbyists had small transmitters that could be heard over short range by the growing number of crystal sets. According to the Nevada State Journal, "Nevada's first radio broadcasting station, KDZK, officially started operations last night [July 21, 1922]. . . . The first program was broadcasted from the Majestic [T]heater between the hours of 8 and 9 and from reports from radio enthusiasts, the program was heard very easily." Credit electrical engineer Frank O. Broili and his brother Julius, who owned Nevada Machinery and Electric Company in Reno, for recognizing the potential of radio for entertainment and news, and underwriting the station's operation. Initially, the 20 watt station broadcast phonograph music, but soon aired only live music. "The musicians' union was strong enough to prevent the transmission of any music other than that performed by live orchestra," wrote June Broili in "Frank Broili: The Transformer" (Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, Spring 1975). KDZK increased its output to 50 watts and its air time to three hours per day. Boosting the station, the newspaper claimed that the normal broadcast radius was 500 miles during the evening. KDZK also expanded its format to include a 30 minute news program and featured interviews of guest speakers at the university. In spite of all KDZK's efforts, competition for the airwaves proved to be its undoing. A rival station, KFAS of Reno, was issued a license on July 7, 1922 and soon competed for listeners. Hadley S. Beedle owned and operated the station. Beginning in April 14, 1923, Sparks High School, known then for its manual and technical training, operated a licensed station with the call letters KFFR. As the radio industry dramatically grew, and more powerful stations in California provided enhanced programing through network broadcasting, the Nevada audience expected better programing than KFFR or KDZK could afford to produce. KOH, 1370 AM, filled the void locally after KDZK left the air. University of Nevada football was first broadcast on September 28,1929 (BYU 10 - Nevada 7). The station affiliated with the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) the following year and moved its studio and 500 watt transmitter to the north side of Reno. KOH also changed its location on the dial to 1380AM. In 1931, KOH affiliated with the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), switching back and forth between NBC and CBS over the years until its current affiliation with the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). The station relocated again in 1940, increased its broadcast output to 1000 watts, and moved to the other end of the radio dial at 630 AM where it remained until 1994. Today 50,000 watt super station KOH is now licensed as KKOH, 780 AM, and is no longer the longest continuously operating radio station in Nevada because it was issued a new license in 1994.

On July 2, the sponsors of Flurizan/tarenflurbil had announced in four terse sentences that this γ-secretase-modulating agent had fallen flat in its definitive Phase 3 trial and was finished as a development product (see ARF related news story). At ICAD, Robert Green of Boston University gave a detailed presentation about the disappointing trial. The Phase 2 trial had seemed to give some hint of clinical efficacy for the highest dose in patients with mild AD (see ARF related news story on trial design), and formal publication of the trial in Lancet recently had fanned hopes further that Flurizan might do some good at this disease stage (Wilcock et al., 2008).
According to the Phase 3 results, it did not. On both primary efficacy endpoints, the ADAS-Cog and the ACDS activities of daily living scales, the treatment and placebo curve overlapped almost completely. There was no effect whatsoever in the group as a whole. And while the overall side effect profile was similar between placebo and treatment groups, anemia, infections, and gastrointestinal ulcers did appear more often in people on Flurizan, Green reported.
According to Green, some 20 percent of patients stayed stable or improved. However, neither pre-specified nor post-hoc analyses, of ApoE genotype or other factors, brought up any correlations as to why that might be.
If the trial failed and the drug is dead, then why write about it at all? This 18-month trial had redeeming features that inspire confidence that the field as a whole will be able to show efficacy and safety once better disease-modifying drugs roll around, Green said. "This is the largest Phase 3 trial in AD ever completed. It was a model case of a public-private partnership to test drugs as we are entering the era of disease-modifying drugs," Green said.
The trial was designed and conducted well, and it proceeded smoothly as 133 U.S. centers followed the protocol without a troubling degree of site variation, Green said. The 1,649 participants were randomized into well-matched groups, the placebo group declined as expected, and the trial was powered sufficiently. Dropout rates were 33 percent for placebo and 39 percent for Flurizan, and the investigators followed the pre-specified analysis plan. "It's important to acknowledge that this was an extremely successful trial in terms of its conduct. It showed that patients decline enough over 18 months to see a signal. That had been questioned before. This is very important—we can see the effect of a disease-modifying compound," Green said.
It seems that the field assigns blame for this failure to Flurizan itself. This compound had shown effects in vitro and in vivo in mice (e.g., Eriksen et al., 2003; Kukar et al., 2007). However, not enough of it reached its intended target in the human brain. Other scientists noted that the human exposure of Flurizan never reached concentrations close to the observed IC50 in vitro. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that γ-secretase in the brain of the patients was never effectively modulated. Neither the Phase 2 nor the Phase 3 trial presented CSF data to show clearly how much of the drug enters the brain and that it alters Aβ levels there. In fact, a Phase 1 trial conducted by Douglas Galasko and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, observed no significant reductions in plasma and CSF Aβ42 levels of healthy volunteers treated with the highest dose of Flurizan that was then used in the Phase 3 trial (Galasko et al., 2007). "In hindsight, it is fair to assume that Flurizan, given its poor potency and brain permeability, failed because of insufficient pharmacodynamics," said Sascha Weggen from the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf, Germany.
For this reason, scientists questioned whether this trial tested the amyloid hypothesis and the therapeutic concept of γ-secretase modulation at all. A number of other companies large and small are continuing research on their own, hopefully more potent, γ-secretase modulators. "It is important to point out that Flurizan was just a first-generation γ-secretase modulator. One could argue that its poor pharmacological properties and marginal efficacy in preclinical studies made it an ill-advised first try, but its good safety profile also made it an opportunity that needed to be explored. Now we need to develop improved compounds that efficiently modulate γ-secretase activity in brain of preclinical animal models and humans," Weggen added. For his part, Green was philosophical. To reporters, he cited a quote by Woody Allen: "If you are not failing every now and then, it's a sign you are not doing anything very innovative."—Gabrielle Strobel.

According to the American Diabetes Association, one in seven adults in California has been diagnosed with diabetes and about 11.4 million people have pre-diabetes. The number of cases increased 32% over the past decade.
In light of these statistics, Pastor Kelvin Sauls of Holman United Methodist Church launched a community event to promote healthy lifestyles and curb diabetes due to obesity.
During a program hosted by his Health and Wellness Ministry, Dr. Dorris Woods presented relevant information. She wrote and signed copies of the book, 'How to Prevent Diabetes – I Beat It and You Can, Too.'
In the book, Dr. Woods shares her story and explains how a diabetes diagnosis is made, why fat causes diabetes, and how to determine your body mass index (BMI). She includes a food diary, nutrition label decoder and note pages to record important health tests.
Hats off to Pastor Sauls and his planning team of Rosa Hill, Valeria Norwood, Jeena Quansah and Sandra Hardy for presenting the event and to Caterer Gail Horton for a delicious healthy luncheon.
'How to Prevent Diabetes – I Beat It and You Can, Too' is available at the Holman bookstore, Barnes and Noble, Kindle, and Amazon.com.
Zumba fitness classes are offered at Holman UMC on Mondays from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at 3320 West Adams Boulevard in Los Angeles. Call (323) 731-7285 for information.

BlackBerry reportedly propositioned Facebook for a bid
BlackBerry is playing the field and courting all types of potential suitors before it sells itself to the most attractive bidder. The company is said to have even visited California last week to flirt with Facebook and solicit a buyout bid, the Wall Street Journal reported.
When reached for comment, Facebook declined to discuss the matter as the company does not comment on rumor or speculation.
After years in decline, BlackBerry officially put itself up for sale last month and forged a tentative arrangement with Fairfax Financial Holdings, which is considering taking the smartphone company private for $9 per share, … Read more

Life! |
Not much to write as I've done nothing! Rain as usual! Roz is having a barbecue for her birthday on Saturday and the rain is forecast to continue. I don't know how they'll manage to get about twenty people into that tiny flat. It's not even warm. Well I don't think that 12C (53F) is particularly warm for the height of Summer! I went to the gym, tidied the house and read the rest of the second Fifty Shades book. I found it better than the first as there was a slight story line, but still wasn't overly impressed. I just skimmed a lot of the sex scenes, not because I'm a prude, but because I found them quite boring to read! Roz is halfway through the first book and is also finding some things irritating, like the way that she keeps on talking about her "inner goddess". Anyway, I'll read the third book then go back to my crime novels! David finally finished making Roz's bird table and gave it to her on Saturday. She wasn't pleased though, as she was expecting to see lots of little birds on it and it's been taken over by squirrels and magpies! I told her that squirrels were cute, but then my brother sent a video clip of a squirrel viciously attacking a person! The gerbils have been misbehaving! Although they've got other things in their cage that they can bite, they've decided to destroy their plastic food dish! Every morning when I get up I find it lying upside down in the sawdust! I tried tying it to the bars, but that didn't work either. They're lovely little animals though! The airing cupboard door keeps locking itself for some reason. I can't get in there to get my gym clothes and David is still sleeping!! Hopefully he'll be up by the time that I've eaten my breakfast, as the car has to be taken to the garage to have a small job done on it.

Measurement & Automation
DSA clients benefit from our diverse Measurement & Automation services applied to the following project categories...
- Quality Control & Automated Test
- Process Control & Industrial Automation
- Data Acquisition & Instrumentation
- Vision Systems & Motion Control
Click here for a link to search our on-line database and to review some noteworthy application-specific accomplishments in more detail with text, photos, video, etc.
Case Studies in Adaptive Automation Results
- One of the worlds largest companies decided to reverse their decision to engage with off-shore, low-wage contractors, preferring DSA to six other vendors evaluated. They rely on our local automation experts for timely and professional engineering, programming, consulting and training services to augment their internal capabilities in design/build of ATE systems for printed circuit boards used in wind turbines.
- A leading glass manufacturer needed to migrate a home-brew, laser-scanning, windshield-glass optical distortion data acquisition & analysis system designed by retirees in the 1960s. State-of-the-art capabilities were required to incorporate manufacturing process correlations, expert systems, and then commercialize for industry standardization. The client engaged DSA to design a system based on COTS sensors, signal conditioning and components.
- The worlds pioneer in Bluetooth ® chip development engaged DSA to provide initial ATE system integration services during the design validation stage. DSA provided LabVIEW and TestStand programming and integration services, in the US and abroad, to tie together many diverse instruments and data acquisition devices.
- One of the worlds largest plastic manufacturers required a long-term partnership in designing tools to acquire manufacturing process parameters, and automating the analytical correlations to optimize the CD/DVD manufacturing process using COTS injection molding machines and other devices.
- A world leading fiber glass manufacturing struggled with costly downtime for fiber-winding machines; as many as hundreds are installed per glass furnace operating facility. DSA assigned staff overseas for the development and deployment of a monitoring, diagnostics, and control system that optimized repair and preventive maintenance schedules, while providing real-time statistical metrics of winder performance with process correlations.
- A pioneer in developing technology to eliminate subjectivity in traditional market research methods, partnered with DSA to develop patented algorithms for converting EEG signals into engagement measurements. DSA synchronized live video with brainwave data acquisition, and provided real-time analysis and reporting to discern a human subjects level of engagement in viewing commercials prior to incurring the costs of broadcast media.
- A government agency charged with setting the standards of practice in mine safety required a high- speed, high-channel, synchronized, remote data acquisition system to monitor mine explosion characteristics including light & pressure wave propagation. DSA engineered a deterministic solution based on COTS tools and ingenuity to achieve desired performance levels, in excess of product and network ratings.

in response to Pigeon_4ging:
Voting and voter discrepancies happen in each and every election/referendum and this one is no different. The opponents with their leader Jess Davis just cannot take the defeat so let the lawsuit and accusations begin. Expect nothing less from Jess Davis and his band of followers. Reminder - did the supporters of LBTD file lawsuits and make false accusations in the previous two referendums when LBTD lost? Nope, we accepted the defeat and just kept trying. By the way, now that LBTD has passed.... the opponents still have a choice..... don't drink or visit the restaurants that serve LBTD! Another reminder - beer and wine are already served in PF restaurants and are alcohol just like liquor! Question, do the opponents of LBTD eat in PF restaurants that serve alcohol. If you do the the word hypocrite comes to mind. Alcohol is alcohol. Jess Davis, Randal Robinson and Charles Rhodes are on an anti-Pigeon Forge political campaign that has nothing to do with LBTD and everything to do with control. Jump on board their train and see where it takes you. Hint - jump off soon as the train will crash soon!
I would swear Pigeon_4ging that your statement "Jump on board their train and see where it takes you. Hint - jump off soon as the train will crash soon!" sounds almost like a threat.
You are right the pro liquor group did not file a lawsuit because there was not an additional 303 votes that could not be accounted for. Instead they re-grouped and decided to win at all cost even if that meant to stuff the ballot box with people who were not legally allowed to vote. I would say that is a very honorable tactic on the part of the pro liquor group. Add in the fact that they ran to their contacts in Nashville to help them get the referendum on the ballot early and every other trick they could pull out of their pocket.
Has it occurred to you that the citizens are tired of your corrupt ways? You don't realize that had you let the election happen in six months when it was supposed to that liquor would have been voted in legally and you would not have had to result to such underhanded tactics. It is a shame that some people will resort to anything to make a buck! That is what happens when you have two little boys, an elderly woman and a city manager that tells them what to do that should have resigned long ago running the city.
Go ahead and make your threats! We see how far it got you and how it makes the city and the county election commission look. People in power are getting tired of your ways.

- Alison Gibbs said...
What lovely and thooughtful layouts today.
Congratulations on completing your challenge.
Alison - 3:55 PM
We do actually feel loved...just by other people! (just kidding - great layouts)
Congratulations to Ben for surviving the ordeal. - 6:16 PM
- Alison said...
On Ben's layout...the guy on the left passing the baton--was he the previous squadron cmdr.? If so, is he smiling big 'cause he's finished, and Ben's not smiling because he does have a clue what he's getting into? =)
- Christi Snow said...
No, actually the guy on the left is Ben's commander and he's smiling because it's a staged photo. LOL! When you go to these ceremonies, you have to laugh because at this point, everything stops while they look at the camera and pose. Ben just doesn't pose well...he's too serious for that. LOL!!! His commander also happens to be a really nice guy that smiles a lot too. smiles...
- Carolyn said...
Love the first layout, and I think the title was perfect, because it was a true fact at the time. But seeing "brother #1" comment in here, is funny to see, can't wait to see "brother #2" to show up.... LOL
kudo's to Ben! He has got to be proud to have accomplished & survived this position, it couldn't have been easy to do this one for 3 times. wow! - 6:34 AM
- Carolyn said...
forgot to say there's a surprise on my blog for you....amy & I have been busy. LOL
- Theresa said...
Love the first LO, and gotta laugh over brother #1 "label"!
Congrats to Ben (and, goodness knows, yourself!!) for getting through the "commandership". Does this mean you get a bit of hubby time whilst he processes? I hope so. And don't you just love those staged photos, where everything goes quiet, and it seems like forever you are standing there with a goofy grin on your face!! Great LO! - 7:05 AM
- Amy said...
Love the layouts Christi and I hope Ben's able to take some time off before he has to deploy...:-)if there wasn't 6 inches of snow on the ground right now I'd be on my way to Mike's
can't wait to see "brother #2" to show up
ahhh!! The pressure. I haven't had enough sleep this week to be witty and charming like brother #1! ahh!
(continuously bowing to brother #1)I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! - 1:20 PM
- Jeanne said...
Congratulations on completing the LOAD challenge. This was quite an accomplishment and I am sure you are proud.
- Nancy said...
congrats on finishing the challenge, I was terrible I signed up but did not finish. bad me.
your layout is beautiful. - 2:51 PM
- Amber said...
Wow Christie, you absolutely rocked the LOAD challenge, great job! You are an inspiration, I could NEVER do that, lol! Maybe a card a day, but it takes ALOT to make a layout a day, you're my hero!
And I'm lmbo at Ben's staged smile, I know EXACTLY what you're talking about;) - 3:55 AM
- Jayne said...
Congrats on getting all those LO's done...I too signed up, but only got to 7 LOL...better that zero I guess LOL.
Love both LO's ... it's great that you got hubbys input!!! Love the titles you were throwing around...the one you chose seems perfect for the LO. - 12:18 PM


text: Who I am and what I doFirst and foremost I see myself as an artist with a wallpaper and fabric collection. I have recently collaborated with other designers such as Paul Smith and Dr Martens. I am a mother of 2 small children and we live by the sea. How I workI trained as a painter and my designs always grow from a drawing. When I am happy with my choice of drawing / motif, I then figure out how this will work as a repeated image. I sometimes use the old fashioned way of cutting and pasting, but more often now I will use the computer. What inspires meFor inspiration I often call on nostalgic memories of my grandparents who were also artists. Having travelled quite alot I also use drawings from my travel sketch books. I have recently become very interested in old interior magazines from the 1950's left to me by my grandmother. I love the way drawing was very often used to depict a room before the wide spread use of photography. My design philosophyIn my opinion good design is something which inspires the user or viewer. If the design is any good, you should be able to see a glimpse into the world of the person who created it. A good designer will create a strong identity which carries through each design, and although his/her designs can differ greatly, there will be a recognisable thread which runs through the work. Unfortunately in this profession, there are a lot of magpies who borrow various bits from other designers and this is something which remains greatly overlooked. I dont see all wallpaper as an art form, in fact some wallpaper should never have been made! If the design stands the test of time and is created with dignity and flair, then I think it can earn the respect of becoming a piece of art. My stylistic influencesMy grandmother, who was an incredible draftswoman, influenced me hugely. Paul Klee had a big influence on my sense of line drawing. I always look to the faded colours of the 1950's to inspire my colour palette. My future goals and ambitionsI would like to develop my work to relate to more site-specific spaces and one-off projects. My likes and dislikesI personally like... Chocolate. Walking along the beach with my family when the tide is out. Jumping on the trampoline with my son. A glass of red wine when the kids have gone to bed. I personally don't like... Champagne. Dog poo on the pavement. Travelling by tube in London. Having a big mortgage. Jockeys' outfits. I professionally like... The fantastic although fleeting moment of joy on completion of a great design. Unexpected and exciting offers of unusual opportunites. Meeting new and interesting like-minded people. A sense of achievement. I professionally don't like... Sitting in front of my computer all day answering emails. Feeling like I should always be doing something else. Feeling inadequate. |

For those of you who don't know me in real lifesies, I do this thing every friday morning at school where I tell a story to the assembled group of friends. I make it up as I go along (no prior planning allowed!) and it's always really fun. It generally involves appearances from members of aforementioned assembled group of friends, as well as sword battles and demon slaying.
This week is spring break, so I'm filming a Special Edition "Story Time with Jess Mooney Time" to be aired on friday. I'm going to be filming myself telling the story first (so I don't lose the aspect of chance and improv,) and then I'll be filming the actual story itself to be placed over my narrations.
I've got a premise in mind, since I can't go in with absolutely nothing like I usually do because I have to keep it within my realm of possibility to film. I think it will actually address some important issues such as gender and stereotypes, so it will have more than just mindless entertainment value.
You should stay tuned, because I may post it on tumblr before I post it on facebook for all to see. :)
I was taking the shortest possible route across the cafeteria— aka, over the tables. I do this a lot, so it wasn't as if I was trying to show off or be awesome or anything. But anyway, I jumped on top of and over the first table but then my foot got caught on the second and before I knew it I had toppled headfirst over the table, done a flip, and banged my face on the ground, all in around a second and a half.
Even though I rolled back up into a standing position almost instantly (a habit I've taught my clumsy self over the years to avoid the most humiliation possible— the shorter amount of time I'm sprawled on the ground, the better,) there were still an astounding number of witnesses, including my gym teacher. She rushed over to me and asked if I was okay and was obviously trying to make sure I didn't have a concussion, but I was just trying to get as far away from the scene as possible. I bolted as soon as I could in search of solitude and an asprin for my blossoming headache.
I almost wish somebody had managed to catch it on video. It was definitely the sort of dumb shit that would go viral.
This is quite an interesting and creepy story. I highly recommend it.

Ready, Set, GO: Open Studios R Us
Our couch was expelled from the living room because Hugh is using the living room, which is next to his home studio, for a display of his large photographs.
Today is the giant Go Brooklyn Art open studio weekend. Nearly two thousand artists in Brooklyn will open their doors to the public. The hordes will begin to arrive at 11AM and at this moment. I don't feel ready.
I better make some coffee.
I am excited to see what the day will be like. Go Brooklyn Art is almost like trick or treating for curious art lovers. As on Halloween, I feel like we should have something to offer those who come. Candy corn? Wine? Cheese and crackers? Hugh's "business" card?
Hugh was up most of the night. He should wake up soon and finish hanging photos. So far, the day looks beautiful. I am optimistic and excited…
