I receive a fair amount of cool content every day but last week one in particular caught me eye; a South African remix had landed on the LA Times website and was making waves around the world, not only in SA.
So I did some digging and then, as fate would have it, was told by a friend over Skype that I know the guy who had produced the incredibly funny and catchy remix of JuJu's (Julius Malema) massive mishaps. So I got in touch with the master of disaster remixes and wangled an interview pulling on the strings of historical association.
Being the fantastically smart viral marketer (or something like that) that he is, David Law did not say no to me and obliged by answering some questions that I posed. But before I get in to the interview have a listen to his rocking remix or the "Bastard, Agent" tune as I like to call it:
And now for the interview:
David, you are the man behind the "Revolutionary House" or "Bastard, Agent" (as I like to call it) remix, as it were. How did it come about, what gave you the idea?
Well let's face it, Malema's little f%$# out was ridiculously absurd, even for him. After having seen the original clip I was both embarrassed for SA and strangely excited to parody the situation. His reveling in recent media attention leading up to that fateful press conference was obvious to see and his megalomaniac cockiness was unrelenting. That is until the pressure and negative media exposure caught up with him and he inevitably snapped. So I jumped at the opportunity to parody a clown as it were – how much more entertainment could you ask for and the fact that he mentioned that Luthuli house was a "Revolutionary house" meant that I was going use a "house" track as the basis of the piece as well as the title. I have a background in radio and this is not the first of these tracks that I've produced and judging by the astounding response to "Revolutionary house", it will not be the last (insert naughty laugh here).
What was the intention when you did the remix? What are you hoping for?
Right off the bat, I was only intending to make light of a classic situation, have a laugh and share it with close friends and family. After realizing it's commercial appeal and witnessing it's potential to go viral, it took on a whole new meaning. Looking back now, the track has everything; political satire, a good catchy beat\melody and I used samples that would both stand out and be a direct link to the infamous press conference.
What exactly is it that you do for a living?
I'm a studio sound engineer by profession and work at an ad agency. I have a musical background and I produce jingles for radio and T.V. ads as well – basically any audio (music, sfx and voice) you might hear in an ad needs to be edited and cleaned up according to the clients requirements, so that's what I do. I have been producing music for about 8 years now. I used a combination of reason 4 (a MIDI based software platform) and protools (a wave editing software package – by digidesign). My ears are my livelihood.
What sort of response have you received? I know I've heard it on the radio a few times.
The response has been phenomenal, which was completely unexpected even to the point that it fronted an international newspaper namely the LA Times, blows my mind. I have had numerous requests by magazines as well as bloggers such as yourself and journalists in all spheres of media, most of the main radio stations have also played the track. In my opinion, a viral phenomenon, considering that it's mainly topical to an SA audience. I think the fact that Jonah of British descent (the journalist on the receiving end of the outburst) is the reason that "Revolutionary house" has made such an impact globally on a viral format. I've been pretty swamped answering emails and phone calls, which I'm not really used to doing, but it's a fantastic feeling being part of something of this scale.
You've now been picked up by the LA Times online, have you had more global exposure?
Well, as you know the internet and it's many outlets is a tool which can be utilized to no end and in this case it's really served it's purpose. Besides the bigger blogs which are visited by all kinds of people around the world daily and their many comment postings on the subject of "Revolutionary house", the response on Facebook as well as Youtube and Twitter, when you combine all views and hits, radio station playlistings etc. run into the millions. I can't say for certain whether there is a global demand for the track in it's local context but it has created a stir worldwide according to friends emailing me from Europe and the US, which is awesome.
How did you practically launch the song? Purely online or a combination?
I decided with the help of a friend to get it to the appropriate radio stations. Gareth Cliff digged it and agreed to play it after having run it by his publisher, then Fresh, then I spammed the inboxes of numerous other radio personalities. The next step was making a video for it (something I like to call a glitch edit) and posted it on Youtube (bloody agent.mpg if you're interested), there were numerous others already up on Youtube, social media networks, FB and twitter and any other outlet we had available to us. With that kind of exposure, it started gathering momentum and lank cats new about it. Remaining anonymous initially was also a strategic move, making it seem a little more underground and mysterious and also because I didn't want to deal with any ANCYL repercussions. I enjoy breathing.
Do you have any final words for the SA Rocks readers?
I hope I've shed some light and let you in to the world of political satire and more specifically the parody song because as long as we have politicians like Malema in this country the material will keep flowing. SA Rocks so let's keep it that way and do all we can to stop deluded "bastard agents" with "rubbish in their trouser" from ruining our heritage, If you don't like this stance "then you can jump". Peace, love and rock 'n roll.

In this Issue of FUNDamentals...
From the Editor
In this issue of FUNDamentals we would like to update you on some of the information from the last issue as well as discuss some new themes relevant to the current economic downturn and some lessons we can learn from it.
Considering the fact that our country has been experiencing some of the worst economic times since the Great Depression, we thought there was no better opportunity to concentrate on what it means to be wealthy in the spiritual sense. And in light of this, we would like to reflect on the meaning of the words "sacrifice" and "service" and consider their significance both in the material and spiritual world. We will also update you on the status of the FUNDcast series which was mentioned in the last issue and give you an idea of what you can expect. Finally, due to popular demand we have posted a new Hank & Terri comic. Enjoy!

Print and Mail are Alive and Well
It is about time that printers got some good news, and here it is: Print and mail are alive and well!
Contrary to conventional wisdom among customers and even some printers that direct mail is "junk" mail, or "old" technology, or incompatible with environmental stewardship, print and mail remain an important part of any effective marketing program.
Skeptical? Consider the results of a 2008 study of 1,000 American consumers (split 50/50 between men and women), age 18 and up, from 10 major metropolitan areas. The results, published as the DM News/Pitney Bowes survey, showed these findings:
Nearly 94% of consumers reported taking action on promotional offers received via direct mail.
20% of consumers reported that more than 10% of the offers or coupons they received by mail led to a purchase.
Almost 40% of respondents said they had tried a new business for the first time because of information received via direct mail.
Nearly 70% said they renewed a relationship with a business because they received a direct mailing or promotional item.
Respondents stated that information received via direct mail often led to a contribution to a non-profit organization for the first time.
The surveyors concluded that: "Direct mail induces the consumer to touch the offer—recipients of direct mail are receiving, sorting, reading, and using direct mail to make purchasing decisions."
In 2009 Target Analytics published the Index of National Fundraising Performance, which analyzed giving via direct mail marketing for 79 of the largest non-profit organizations in the U.S.
Study results show that direct mail was responsible for 78% of donations received, or about $8 of every $10 contributed. This made direct mail the top source of fundraising—ahead of the Internet (9%) or telemarketing (3%).
One particularly interesting finding is that in 2009, 89% of all new donors to the non-profits in the study were acquired via direct mail and only 12% were acquired online.
Local targeted marketing
Knowing the national trends in direct mail marketing will help keep you from having to agree with your customers who insist that email marketing is superior to traditional direct mail. Trends may be pointing in that direction, but as shown by numerous studies, direct mail still dominates results.
This is even more apparent when thinking about marketing locally. An obvious example of successful local marketing using direct mail is a political campaign. For local campaigns, direct mail remains the most effective way to introduce a candidate or an issue, largely because the marketing can target specific blocs of voters.
Likewise, direct mail remains an effective and economical way to reach a small geographic division such as a neighborhood. Many mail list providers now offer online tools to pinpoint a small area such as a one mile radius around a restaurant, or offer list enhancement services such as adding demographic information to enable even better targeting of the audience.
In fact, the ability to target a specific audience remains a primary strength of direct mail versus other communication channels, including email.
Direct mail vs. email
Cost alone is not a sufficient measure to compare direct mail to email because using email introduces other factors that do not apply to direct mail. For example:
With email, the sender has incomplete control over how the message appears to the recipient. A printed piece does not change based on the type of reader the recipient is using.
Email depends on a variety of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to deliver the message, each with its own blocks and filters for email. The USPS delivers all the mail unless the address is faulty. There are also tools such as National Change of Address (NCOA) processing and delivery point validation (DPV) to identify undeliverable addresses.

UAV ground control systems follow-up
Posted by John McHale
Last month I wrote a feature for our print magazine on ground control stations (GCS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the U.S. Defense Department's plans for a common GCS that can work with any UAV platform. This week at the AUVSI show in Denver, I had a little chat with George Romanski, president of Verocel, about the efforts he and others are making to build the software architecture for the future GCS.
Romanski said it will use a secure multiple independent levels of security (MILS) software architecture with Linux running on top so to speak. With MILS the secure data will be protected within the MILS architecture.
The architecture will also be certified to the necessary Federal Aviation Administration standards such as DO-178B . The system should be deployed between 2013 and 2015.
I will be doing a more in-depth look at the architecture in the coming months.

W&J Swimming/Diving Collects Sweep Of Saint Vincent
WASHINGTON, Pa. -- Senior Brittany Vogel (Butler, Pa./Butler) and freshman Michael Magdic (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) led Washington & Jefferson College to a Presidents' Athletic Conference swimming and diving sweep of Saint Vincent College on Saturday afternoon at the Henry Memorial Natatorium.
The W&J women (6-0, 3-0 PAC) ran their consecutive dual-meet win streak to 21 with a 159-114 victory, while the Presidents' men (2-3, 1-1 PAC) claimed a 156-116 triumph.
Vogel won three individual events and also helped the 400 freestyle relay team (3:43.21) in the final race. She touched first in the 100 backstroke (1:02.49), 200 breaststroke (2:29.71) and 200 IM (2:15.23).
Magdic paced the men's squad with a trio of victories. He won the 200 backstroke (2:06.89) and 200 IM (2:07.57), while tying teammate junior Joey Weiland (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) for first place in the 100 backstroke at 57.00 seconds.
Senior Jonathan Weeks (Donora, Pa./Ringgold) was another triple winner for the Presidents. He was victorious in the 100 (55.28) and 200 (2:04.11) butterfly events, while also teaming with seniors Keyton Kalakewich (Edwards, Colo./Charleroi) and Andy Rish (North East, Pa./Cathedral Prep) and freshman Ulysses Laman (Grove City, Pa./Grove City) on the winning 200 medley relay (1:41.79).
Rish, Weiland, Kalakewich and freshman Jake Meyers (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock North) combined for a win in the final race, the 400 freestyle relay (3:22.54). Kalakewich also claimed the 50 freestyle (22.62), while Meyers raced to victory in the 200 freestyle (1:49.72).
Freshman Sara Boldt (Kentwood, Mich./East Kentwood) topped the fields in both long distance freestyle events, posting times of 5:28.74 (500) and 11:13.08 (1,000).
Freshman Jessica Sweitzer (Laurel, Md./Seton Keough) earned the winning touch in the 200 freestyle (1:59.07) and also swam on the first-place 200 medley relay (1:53.72) with senior C.J. Corcoran (Harleysville, Pa./Souderton), sophomore Zoe Levenson (Pittsburgh, Pa./Allderdice) and freshman Charlotte Lima (Brooklyn, N.Y./Choate Rosemary Hall).
Lima won the 200 backstroke (2:16.64) and Levenson earned first place in the 100 butterfly (1:01.47). Junior Kaitlin Dagg (Mentor, Ohio/Hawken) rounded out the Presidents' winners in the 200 butterfly (2:18.90).
W&J is back in action on Wednesday at home versus Bethany. The women's meet will be a double-dual meet with Franciscan also participating.

I represent a client who had just created a new Account with Microsoft Adcenter. I've build and Synced their campaigns through Adcenter Desktop and posted it with partial success. Most of the keywords and Ads went through fine, but a lot of Keywords didn't get posted due to an error (API Code 1542). Not sure what this is or how to get around it (I don't want to delete the keyword list I created).
Here is the message I'm receiving on Adcenter Desktop:
"An Unknown sync error (API code 1542) has occurred. Please try again later, if the problem persists, contact the adCenter Support Team"
I've called the support team and they have no idea (I guess there not informed about any API issues). I've tried reposting everyday now (about a week) and the error is still there.
Can you tell me how to get around this error?
Hi Tyler,
Haven't come across this error before, usually the error messages are much more descriptive.
Most common issue here is duplicate kws (including match type) - have you checked on this?
Yes, I had both duplicate Keyword Errors and this (API 1542) error. I've deleted the duplicate keywords and have been trying to figure out what would be the cause of (API Code 1542) but can't seem to figure it out.
I've been told that there had been changes with Keyword uploads and preferences, but not sure if this applies to this API error.
Let me know,
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your POSTS! On the Error Code API 1542 here is what I found:

@Dixie60 Seriously you MUST be joking Dixie60. Microsoft Adcenter's error messages are the LEAST descriptive of ANY platform I've ever encountered. To say that their error messages are "usually... much more descriptive" tells me you clearly have not used Adcenter Desktop or Adcenter in general for very long.
John, that's great. The question is:
1. What is api code 1542? (what is the problem)
2. What is the action to take to resolve this? (what is the solution)
Do you have answers to either of these two questions?
Hi jnscollier,
Thanks for your POST! There are several reasons that type of error would occur. Normally I would advise a client to make a copy of the list and reinstall Desktop. Ensuring your computer had all the latest Microsoft Updates. Keyword downloads from Desktop to ad Center are tricky. There may have been adult keywords, which won't transfer. Keyword lists from a third party keyword generator sometimes won't work because the columns don't match. And as I posted, "Base table fields have been changed and no longer match view fields. View field properties cannot be set (Error 1542)." Which specifically answered this question. Do you have a specific problem I can assist with?

15 Basic Questions To Ask Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon
By Angiemcc on 26 Jan 2012
So you've scheduled a rhinoplasty consultation (woo-hoo!) and you're wondering what questions to ask your potential surgeon. Look no further. Here's a list of 15 standard questions each doctor should be able to easily answer.
1. Are you board certified and if so, by what board? (ASPS and ASAPS are both great answers).
2. How experienced are you in performing rhinoplasties? (ie, how many have you done and for how many years have you done them?).
3. What percentage of your practice is devoted to rhinoplasty?
4. When did you perform your last rhinoplasty?
5. What is your percentage of happy patients?
6. What is your policy on revisions?
7. What is your revision rate on your own patients?
8. How long do you spend performing a rhinoplasty like mine?
9. What are potential complications and risks in a nose like mine?
10. What type of rhinoplasty technique will you use for me?
11. What type of anesthesia do you use and why?
12. What sort of facility do you operate in and, if not in a hospital OR, what is your protocol in the case of unexpected surgical complications?
13. What percentage of your practice is open versus closed rhinoplasty? Can you use both techniques?
14. Can I see before and after cases of noses similar to mine?
15. Do you feel that you can create the type of nose that I have talked with you about?

Having witnessed patient satisfaction with the opportunity to see a realistic and achieveable depiction of their proposed cosmetic procedure on a computer screen, since 1989, I believe a consultation without such imaging is deficient.
After all, shouldn't doctor and patient have a "meeting of the minds" as to what is to be accomplished?

Two captured after attempted jewelry theft
Police say an employee of an Ellisville jewelry store fired a gun at two men who robbed the store this morning.
The incident started just after 10 AM when one of the suspects asked an employee to show him an expensive watch. The suspect then grabbed the watch and ran in the parking lot. Two employees chased the suspect out of the store. Officers say there was a physical altercation between the suspects and employees in the parking lot. But, when the suspect got into a waiting car, one of the employees pulled out a gun and fired several shots at the suspects.
Police captured the suspects after a short car chase ended in a crash near the Chesterfield mall. Officers recovered the watch the men had stolen--a Rolex worth nearly $35,000.
The suspects have not been identified.
Embattled State Representative resigns over stealing charges
Missouri State Representative Steve Webb is resigning his position.
Webb came under fire last month for allegedly using the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus' name to steal money. Prosecutors say that Webb solicited a $3,000 donation to sponsor a black caucus reception in Washington. Instead, court documents say Webb transferred the money to a personal account.
In a statement released Monday, Webb said he believes allegations against him will "work themselves out", but that resigning is the right thing to do for his family and colleagues.
Webb, a Democrat, faces one felony stealing charge and seven misdemeanor charges for misuse of campaign money.
Schnucks HQ worker charged with stealing $111,000
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A University City woman who worked in the accounting department at Schnucks headquarters in Maryland Heights faces felony theft charges for allegedly stealing more than $111,000 from the supermarket chain.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 35-year-old Lolita Martin was charged with removing money from a cash box at the company's main offices. Martin was responsible for overseeing the box, which was used to provide change for the company cafeteria.
The company fired Martin in May amid an internal investigation. Defense attorney Mark Fredman declined comment but said his client plans to plead not guilty
Man accused of breaking into cars, selling stolen items on Craigslist
A St. Louis man is behind bars after he allegedly tried to sell stolen items on Craigslist.
KMOV reports that Michael Perez allegedly broke into a pair of cars in Wildwood on Sunday. One of the victims called police after he saw what he believed was his radar jammer for sale on Craigslist. The man set up a meeting with Perez and when Perez arrived for the sale, police arrested him. Officers say they determine the radar detector had been stolen.
A search of the suspect's home revealed other stolen property including cash, jewelry and electronics. Perez now faces multiple charges related to the thefts.
St. Louis parks officials admit to massive fraud
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two former top St. Louis parks officials face December federal sentencing now that they've admitted stealing nearly half a million dollars from the city since 2005.
Thomas "Dan" Stritzel, the city's 43-year-old chief park ranger, and the deputy parks commissioner, 55-year-old Joseph Vacca, each pleaded guilty to three counts of mail fraud involving the theft of roughly $465,000.
A May indictment alleged that from January 2005 through the end of last year, Stritzel and Vacca used false or inflated invoices to funnel the pilfered city funds through sham companies. Prosecutors say they spent the money on vehicles, paying off credit card debt, and other expenses.
They each face up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines on each count.
Court records show Vacca filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
Man charged for stealing from mother's business
A Missouri man faces several charges after he allegedly stole more than $1 million from a business his mother co-owned.
Prosecutors allege that Michael Britt stole the money over a six-year period. Britt worked as the bookkeeper at Gene-Del Printing in Brentwood. He told his mother that starting in 2005 he would make out checks to himself and forge the owners' signatures. Investigators say that over an 11-month period, he forged 166 checks.
Britt faces a dozen charges of forgery and is held on a $35,000 bond.
Mother and son accused of selling stolen gopher feet
PRESTON, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota mother and her 18-year-old son are accused of stealing nearly $5,000 in frozen gopher feet and selling them for a bounty.
Thirty-seven-year-old Tina Marie Garrison and Junior Lee Dillon, both of Preston, were charged last month with receiving stolen property and theft. They allegedly gave the feet to local townships that offer rewards as they try to limit the gopher population.
Garrison has pleaded not guilty. Her son has a hearing next month.
The complaint says a gopher trapper reported to authorities that bags of feet were stolen from his freezer. According to the complaint, the owner found Dillon had turned in $1,014 in feet in November. In December, Garrison turned in $3,780 in feet.
The Post-Bulletin reports Dillon denied turning in any feet for the bounty.
Former Kinloch fire chief face federal charges
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis-area fire chief is facing federal indictment for allegedly stealing more than $140,000 in money from the impoverished fire district.
The indictment of Kinloch Fire Protection District chief Darran Kelley was announced Thursday. Federal prosecutors allege he stole money from taxes, grant funds intended for a new pumper truck and donations that were aimed at helping the district keep the truck.
He is also accused of falsely claiming disability.
The district went out of service in December.
Kelley appeared in federal court late Thursday and was ordered to spend the night in jail.
Man sentenced for stealing memorabilia from St. Louis Rams coach
CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - A St. Louis County man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for stealing sports memorabilia and electronics from an assistant coach for the St. Louis Rams, along with other crimes.
KSDK-TV reports that 25-year-old James Bright of Fenton also pleaded guilty in two other criminal cases at a hearing Tuesday.
Bright and an accomplice were accused of breaking into the Kirkwood home of Rams tight ends coach Rob Boras on New Year's Eve. The theft included NCAA rings and a gold NFL championship ring, along with a TV, a game system and other electronics.
Bright also admitted to burglary and stealing at two other properties.
The second suspect, 27-year-old Jeffrey Medcalf, is expected in court next month to enter a plea.

Advisory committees for Chesterfield County Public Schools focus on specific topics and hold meetings that are open to the public. Here are the areas they focus on and their schedules for the 2013-2014 school year:
Chester Clergy is hosting a special prayer service for Chester area residents titled "Praying for Our Schools" on Sunday, Sept.15, at 6 p.m. at Thomas Dale High School Auditorium. This event will bring together churches and Christians in the area to ask God's blessing on Chester's schools, staff and students this upcoming year.
Curtis Elementary kicked off the Super School Year last Friday with students and teachers dressing up as their super heroes. There were a lot of Supermen, Batmans, and Captain Americas; there were doctors, nurses, soldiers and a Super Pereira.
A record 125 students received assistance with their 2013-2014 college education expenses thanks to scholarships recently awarded by the John Tyler Community College Foundation, Inc.
School safety guards, child safety officers and members from the Chesterfield County Police Support Services Division celebrated the retirement of two of their own last Monday. Becky Hypes retired with 30 years of service and June Jones retired with 36 years of service.
This Tuesday, September 3, Chesterfield County Public Schools will welcome 57,000-plus students as they return to class. School supplies have been purchased, classrooms have been organized and check-lists for students and teachers are being finalized.
Chesterfield County Public Schools provides nutritious breakfasts and lunches. Based on household size and income, students in elementary schools, middle schools and Chesterfield Community High School may qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.
"There was a woman named Gwen Johnson. I don't know if she knows what influence she had on me, but she did. I'd never seen a woman walk with such pride," says television actress, Daphne Reid, in her interview with The HistoryMakers, the nation's largest African American video oral history archive.

After months of deliberation and being on the brink of elimination more than once, Land Rover has decided to bring the Defender back to the North American market. An exact time table hasn't been disclosed quite yet, but Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern said the next-gen Defender is definitely on its way.
"There will be a new Defender, and it will be tough as nails," McGovern confirmed to the Washington Post during the 2012 Paris Motor Show last week.
Currently, Land Rover and Jaguar are in the middle of a multi-billion dollar spending spree in an attempt to revamp both lineups. So far, this has brought us the all-new 2011 Jaguar XJ, the 2013 Range Rover, and most notably, the 2012 Range Rover Evoque. The 2014 Jaguar F-Type, which was unveiled in Paris last week, is also a product of this resurgence. Both Land Rover and Jaguar seek to put more of an emphasis on the brand names themselves and have been doing so by fleshing out the more posh end of its portfolio. The addition of the Defender goes against that, but Land Rover believes it will pay off in the long run.
In North America, Land Rover sees more of its Range Rover lineup sold—the Evoque, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport. Land Rover vehicles like the LR4 don't have nearly as much traction in North America like it does in other markets where it's still called the Discovery, but the British automaker is looking to change that. With the addition of the Defender, Land Rover hopes it will be able to infiltrate the middle of the luxury off-roader market once again. And we should have a good idea of what it will look like.
At last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, Land Rover unveiled the DC100 concept that was slated to become the next Defender. Scheduled to be released in 2015 originally, Land Rover pushed that date back to launch the Defender and now says that date will be sometime in 2017.
The latest Defender is expected to use exterior styling cues from the DC100 concept but we're expecting a new grille, interior, wheels, and lights to be featured. Engine specs are still speculative but there are rumbles of both a four-cylinder gasoline engine and a diesel engine that will be available.
Automotive.com's take: Land Rover has all but come out and said that the next-generation Defender will be headed to our shores. When we contacted Land Rover for comment, they referred us to our sister site Truck Trend for comments. That being said, the silence is deafening.

Doak House Museum to host home school enrichment program March 2
The Doak House Museum on the campus of Tusculum College will host a home school enrichment program on Wednesday, March 2.
Home school students and teachers are invited to participate in the museum's educational and fun program, Toys and Games of the 19th century.
Students will participate in engaging activities at four different stations and learn about the life and times of the Doak family children in the 1800s while playing with the toys they knew and loved such as Jacob's ladder, hooey sticks, dolls, pick-up sticks, blocks, nine pins, tops, marbles and moon winders.
The program will begin at 10 a.m. Due to inclement weather and program cancellations in December, the museum is offering a discounted rate of $4 per child. One parent or chaperone per group will be admitted free of charge. Space is limited, so reservations are required. Please contact Dollie Boyd at 423.636.8554 or e-mail email@example.com to make reservations.
The Doak House Museum and the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library are operated by the Department of Museum Program and Studies of Tusculum College. In addition to the museums, the department is responsible for the College Archives and offers one of the few undergraduate Museum Studies degree programs in the country. The two museums are also part of the National Historic District on the Tusculum College campus. Follow the museums on Facebook and Twitter to learn the latest news and upcoming events or visit its Web site at www.tusculum.edu/museums to learn more about the variety of programs offered at the museums.

It's still a bit unbelievable that Whitney Houston has passed away. Nonetheless, her music continues to live on. Before her passing, Whitney recorded a song with singer and co-star Jordin Sparks for their upcoming movie Sparkle called Celebrate. According to BET, the cast decided to use this opportunity to create a tribute video for Whitney.
When we did the song, we planned on it being Whitney and me, but she's not here, so we wanted to make it a tribute to her. So it's fun, upbeat and exciting — there are clips from the movie and the main cast is in the video, too. It's me, Tika Sumpter, Carmen Ejogo, Derek Luke, Omari Hardwick, Goapele is in it andMike Epps. We're all just having a good time [and the premise is] they all come over to my house singing along to Whitney's music. And we're missing her and celebrating her as well. It's actually pretty simple, but when you watch it and hear her voice along with it, it makes it so much more.
I like the song. It's classic Whitney and I could totally imagine her doing her legendary shoulder shrug to it. Check out the video below:

Los Angeles Area Emmy® Winners Unveiled
KCET, NBC4 Top Winners
Saturday, August 25, 2007
Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre
North Hollywood, California
NBC4 reporter Joel Grover accepts the Emmy Award for "Outstanding Hard News Reporting" at The 59th Annual Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards.
A gala presentation of awards in more than forty categories, the ceremony was held at Leonard Goldenson Theater on the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences plaza.
Gala highlights included the presentation of the Governors Award to "Mejorando Su Vida" (English translation: "Improve Your Life"), a multifaceted community-outreach initiative undertaken by KVEA-52, the West Coast flagship of the Telemundo network.
The ceremony also featured moving memorial tributes to Los Angeles news icons Tom Snyder and Hal Fishman, both of whom passed away earlier this summer.
The evening's events, which were streamed via live webcast at the Television Academy's official site, www.emmys.tv, featured more than fifty presenters, including dozens of familiar anchors and reporters from local stations.
Other presenters included several Television Academy governors and—on a break from their current show at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas—the azure-tinted performance-art troupe Blue Man Group.
The trio were also nominated for outstanding short promo for a KCAL9 promotional segment for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Two Newscast Honors to CBS2
Two of the three highly competitive regularly scheduled newscast categories went to CBS2.
CBS2 News at 11 was named outstanding regularly scheduled newscast in the 0-35- minute format; CBS2 News at 6 A.M. was honored as outstanding daytime newscast.
Outstanding regularly scheduled newscast in the over-35-minute format was won by KTLA Prime News.
Armando Acevedo, of KMEX, took the award for outstanding news director, and outstanding sports reporting was given to ABC7 for work done by reporter Curt Sandoval and producers Dae Ho Suk and Jeff MacIntyre.
Outstanding news editor went to Beatrice Schreiber of CBS2 and outstanding non-news editor was Tim Paine of KVEA.
Accepting the Governors Award for KVEA, anchor Lucia Navarro, who was introduced by Alan Perris, chief operating officer of the Television Academy, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the honor.
In her remarks, Navarro told the audience that at KVEA, they "live and breathe" the phrase "Mejorando Su Vida," which is also the station's mission statement.
Snyder, Fishman Tributes Among More Poignant, Personal Moments
Following the Governors Award, the lights dimmed for video tributes to Snyder and Fishman, both of whom had friends and former colleagues in the audience. Indeed, one of Fishman's KTLA colleagues pointed out that today would have been Fishman's seventy-six birthday.
It was also a well-deserved salute to Fishman when KTLA Prime News won its award at the end of the ceremony.
Other memorable moments of the evening included presenter Dale Davis of CBS2/KCAL9 thanking his colleague Phillip Palmer of ABC7 for donating a kidney to him earlier this year.
Good Things Come in "Twos" for NBC4's Grover
Plus, a performers from the winning public service announcement "Do You Know CPR?," produced by Beverly Hills Network 10, told the audience that the honor was truly "near and dear to [her] heart" because she had overcome serious heart problems herself and lived to share her experience with others.
On a lighter note, NBC4's Mary Harris, who won the award for outstanding news writer, exulted with verve, pumping her fists before dashing from the stage "to call [her] parents." And NBC4 reporter Joel Grover—a new father of twins—who won for outstanding investigative reporting and outstanding hard news reporting, quipped that this was the year things were happening to him in twos.
Complete Winners List Available
In second place behind KCET and NBC4 were CBS2/KCAL9 and KMEX, with four Emmys each; CBS2, FSN Prime Ticket, KTLA5 and KVEA were third, with three each; FOX11 and FSN West shared fourth place, with two statuettes apiece; and ABC7, Beverly Hills Network 10, GTV6 and KCAL9, KHIZ each took home one.

Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts™ State College, Pennsylvania July 12-15, 2012 ~ Children and Youth Day July 11, 2012 |
Historic Films At The Arts Festival
This year the Arts Festival is proud to present two historic films with the cooperation of Penn State University Libraries Special Collections Library and the State Theatre. Both films star Penn State Distingished Alumnus and Trustee Fred Waring—also known as "the man who taught America to sing." Fred Waring was born in Tyrone, Pennsylvania in 1900, and was a Distinguished Alumnus and Trustee of Penn State University. Along with his group, the Pennsylvanians, he toured the United States and the world for almost seven decades, building an impressive list of accomplishments in stage, radio, motion pictures, television and music education. The Waring collection at Penn State, known as Fred Waring's America, is a unique archive that serves as a rich source of primary source material on 20th century American popular culture for researchers from Penn State and around the world, including musicians and music educators, orchestra and choral conductors, documentary filmmakers, golden-age radio enthusiasts and media and cultural historians. During a long and varied career, Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians entertained audiences throughout the world on stage, radio, television, records and in motion pictures. They began as the rage of the post-World War I collegiate era; they made some of the first and best of Hollywood's musical sound films; they introduced historic techniques and original performing ideas to network radio in the 1930s and early 1940s; they produced recordings that have become classics, unequalled in choral beauty; they presented to America's TV viewers in the late 1940s through the 1950s the first of the musical spectaculars. Preview these wonderful films!
Syncopation Syncopation centers on a pair of vaudevillians who are quite close on and off the stage until a dashing millionaire comes around and begins wooing the female partner. She too is smitten and begins to pick and needle her partner about his faults. Eventually she dumps him, but it is not too long before the two are reunited and continue to make beautiful music together. Based on the novel, Stepping High by Gene Markey, this musical stars Barbara Bennett, Bobby Watson, Morton Downey, Dorothy Lee, and the music of Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians. Waring's Pennsylvanians received top billing for the film. It was publicized as the "first mammoth all-talking screen extravaganza featuring the world's greatest band making their film debut in a spectacular musical drama!" Varsity Show In Varsity Show, Winfield College students, trying to put together the annual varsity show, come into conflict with their faculty adviser. Their advisor is a stodgy old professor whose ideas are hopelessly out of date, and who won't even let the new "swing" music be played in the show. They decide to get a hold of a former student who is now a big Broadway star and have him direct their show. What they don't know is that this "star's" last three shows were big flops. The story behind the film is as important as the film itself. In 1937, when Fred Waring was approached to play a starring role in this film, he brought his famous glee club, the Pennsylvanians, to the shoot and planned on using the college glee club from Pomona College ("Winfield College" in the movie) for additional singers. When Mr. Waring arrived at the campus he found the Glee Club conductor was ill but his replacement was a young, energetic young man named Robert Shaw. After the movie was finished, Robert Shaw followed Fred Waring to New York. There, Mr. Shaw founded the Collegiate Chorale and the Robert Shaw Chorale and went on to be one of the most important personalities in American choral music in the 20th century.

15 May 2012 University of Gothenburg
A new doctoral thesis from the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, explores the issue of double taxation in connection with international transactions. The study sheds light on the vastly different results that the established methods to eliminate double taxation may yield in certain situations: that a transaction is still subject to double taxation or that no tax is paid at all.
'International transactions often imply that taxes have to be paid in more than one country since the tax systems in involved countries are not coordinated well enough. For example, a Swedish company that receives interest, dividends or royalties from another country may be taxed in both Sweden and the source country. International double taxation may occur in a great number of situations,' says lawyer and researcher David Kleist at the Department of Law, School of Business, Economics and Law, in Gothenburg.
Since 2007, David Kleist has been working on his thesis on how international double taxation can be prevented. Since double taxation is considered to reduce international trade and investments, many countries have established so-called double taxation treaties, where the signees agree to limit their right to tax a transaction.'
The treaties are based on various methods to prevent double taxation, methods that are analysed in the thesis together with a number of application issues. The study also analyses the economic outcome in certain situations of the two main methods recommended by the OECD.
The way in which the methods are applied can affect the end result significantly, according to Kleist:
'Problems with the application of the treaties can lead to that the double taxation dilemma remains, or that a transaction is not taxable in either country. The result of study points to the complexity in this area and the need for well-balanced rules,' says Kleist, who is hoping that the study will benefit not only practitioners and academics but also legislators.

Hello. We went on holiday and came back again. Two weeks in Cornwall, some of it camping and some of it staying in actual buildings. The picture above is Porthleven, where we stayed for the non-camping bit. It is a lovely place and how fortunate we were to go. In other news: I now have a wetsuit which I will wear to keep warm during the winter months. Also a small collection of Betty Stogs memorabilia, similar function.
Now I am back and am catching up with work, looking at blank pieces of paper etc. I have one interesting and unusual piece of work to do and one or two usual ones, and then we go to the Greenbelt Festival. There have been some minor Greenbelt developments which I may post about at some point.
Usually at this point I post one or two incredibly fascinating holiday photographs, but I think I'm going to resist this year. Oh, go on then, just the one.

Facebook Inc Nasdaq: FB
There's More to the IPO Market Than Facebook (Nasdaq: FB)
Admit it, you love the Facebook IPO (Nasdaq: FB).
Besides its $100 billion-plus stock valuation, the social media company has over 900 million active users worldwide.
Plus, at $16 billion, Facebook will go down as the second largest U.S. IPO ever, trailing only Visa's $17.9 billion deal in 2010.
But let's not forget, this isn't the first IPO that's gotten a ton of attention, and it won't be the last.
In fact, the hype surrounding Facebook stock is overshadowing the entire IPO market, clouding the big picture, and perhaps, some worthwhile investments.
So let's take a look at what else has been going on in the IPO market and what's coming up that deserves your attention.
To continue reading, please click here... -
Investing in IPOs: Why You Should Think Twice About Facebook (Nasdaq: FB)
Ever since the Dutch East India Company became the first to issue stocks and bonds to the public in 1602, investors have seen initial public offerings (IPOs) as the road to riches.
The current hype surrounding the Facebook IPO is just one example.
But investors tempted by Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) may want to think back to the dotcom craze of the late 1990 s. You'll remember it spawned a feeding frenzy among investors chasing after internet IPOs on an almost daily basis.
It wasn't long before investors on Main Street took the bait after watching hordes of new college graduates in Silicon Valley become instant millionaires.
But as companies with unproven business models executed massive IPOs with sky-high prices, every day investors who succumbed to the siren call got clobbered.
Pets.com for instance, raised $82.5 million in an IPO in February 2000 before imploding nine months later. And EToys.com stock went from a high of $84 per share in 1999 to a low of just 9 cents per share in February 2001.
In both cases, small investors were left holding the bag. The point is IPOs have always been high-risk, high-reward.
So, what is an IPO anyway? How do people get rich-and go broke-- so fast? And, more importantly, should you invest in an IPO like Facebook for instance?
Here's what you need to know...

The Facebook IPO Facts: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Face it, you want it. It seems that everyone wants a piece of the Facebook IPO.
But, can you handle the truth? Will the hyped sensationalism be a boon or a boondoggle?
I'm not going to tell you what to do, whether you should buy Facebook sooner rather than later. That's up to you.
However, I will tell you that I won't be buying it right away, but, I will be buying it if...
First though, here's the good the bad and the ugly truth about the company, the IPO and owning "FB."
The Good News About the Facebook IPO
The good news is overwhelming if you're Mark Zuckerberg, any of the company's founders, executives, or venture capital backers, many of whom own Facebook stock (Nasdaq: FB) at a dollar a share.
So far, the target range the stock is expected to be priced at--which was originally $28-$35/share-- has been raised to between $34-$38.
And it could very well go higher before tonight's pricing deadline. The amount of shares to be floated is being raised too.
That's all good news for the insiders, the underwriters and the company itself.
FB is causing its own IPO hype, partly because it will be the largest IPO in U.S. history, in terms of the value it will put on the company, which will likely approach $100 billion. However, Visa in 2008 and GM in 2010 will have raised more money on their IPO debuts. (I know, calling GM's IPO a debut is strange to me too.)
Facebook will raise at least $13 billion (at the lowest end of the price and share offering range) and bank some $9 billion in cash on its balance sheet. That's good news.
But better than that, the company will now have a huge hoard of stock as currency to use to buy up companies and technology to advance its master of the social media universe status.
The other good news is that... -
Facebook's IPO Price Too High? Not For The Woz
The Facebook IPO just got big-name support from the tech world.
Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) co-founder Steve "The Woz" Wozniak said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he would invest in Facebook, regardless of the price.
Wozniak, who built the first Apple computer with Steve Jobs and co-founded the company with him in 1976, also commented in the May 12 interview that he thought Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg combines the talents of the late Jobs and of Wozniak himself.
"I was thankful to have a partnership with Steve Jobs and I see Mark Zuckerberg closer to the combination of us," said Wozniak. "When he speaks he speaks with a lot of idealism for the users and a lot of good ideas for the product overall."
The favorable Facebook fodder came just as Facebook upped its projected IPO price from $28 - $35 per share to $34 - $38 per share. That gives the social networking company a valuation exceeding $100 billion.
Facebook stock (Nasdaq: FB) is slated to start trading Friday.

Facebook Takes a Step Closer to Its Own Search Engine
And Facebook's reach grows bigger...
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) announced this week it is revamping its Bing search engine to include content from Facebook and other social media platforms.
The move introduces a new sidebar to Bing, which aims to connect users with friends and other aficionados who can provide help, assistance and advice related to the performed search.
The Redmond, WA-based Microsoft said the foray is based on the fact that "90% of people consult with a friend or expert before making a decision."
The venture will hopefully give Bing some bang. Data reveals that Bing has about 15% of the U.S. search market, while Internet search behemoth Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) commands a 66% portion. Microsoft is hoping many will likethe new element and it will entice people to favor Bing when Web searching.
The new service will appear to the right of all search results, and will highlight a feature dubbed Friends Who Might Know.
Microsoft wrote on its blog, "Bing suggests friends on Facebook who might know about the topic-based on what they "like," their Facebook profile information, or photos they have shared so you can easily ask them about relevant experiences and opinions. For example, if you're searching for diving spots in Costa Rica...you may discover that one of your friends knows a great spot, based on photos from their last trip."
Bing will also flag other topic "specialists," identified from their posts on Google's social network Google+, Twitter, Foursquare, LinkedIn and Quora.
The feature will roll out shortly in the United States, according to Microsoft. The company did not comment about other locations.

Facebook App Store Will Boost Popularity, Profit
Is there anything Facebook can't or won't do to keep its massive user base happy?
The social network giant just announced plans for a new Facebook App Store where Facebook friends can purchase games and other applications on its heavily trafficked site.
The new Facebook App Store, which will be formally known as the Facebook App Center, will feature applications for web browsers, and be available via the Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone, Android smartphones, PCs and tablets.
The move will provide a platform for software developers to sell their products on the social site.
With over 900 million users worldwide, the new Facebook App Center opens up an alluring venue for developers and entices the social networking Web site's scores of members to keep coming back for new, current and popular applications.
Facebook's App Store is being launched in the midst of the company's highly anticipated, much-hyped initial public offering, expected on or around May 18.
And the Facebook App Store in not merely in the works, it is set to roll out in the next few weeks.

Facebook IPO Roadshow Continues without Retail Investors – and Zuckerberg
Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) launched its roadshow Monday in New York, with planned stops at several prominent U.S. cities before the trip ends.
Spotted sporting his trademark hoodie, 27-year-old CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg was present at the heavily attended event in NYC.
But on Tuesday, as hundreds herded into Boston's Four Seasons hotel, Zuckerberg was nowhere to be seen.
"It's too bad Zuckerberg wasn't there. It was kind of disappointing," H. Scott Smith, senior equity analyst at Game Greek Capital, told the Boston Herald.

Facebook IPO Price Range Values Company Near $100 Billion
A Facebook IPO price range has been set, valuing the company at approximately $85 to $95 billon, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Facebook has set a range for its initial public offering of $28 to $35 per share. At that price level, the social network giant would raise just over $10 billion.
Those lofty numbers would put Facebook on the path to becoming the most valuable Internet company in the United States.
The price range is surprisingly lower than what many industry analysts had expected. The consensus was closer to $40 per share.
Greencrest Capital Management analyst Max Wolf told MSNBC that Facebook most likely subdued the price range for the storied IPO due to recently passive mood surrounding the markets.
"It feels to me that as market sentiment gets less bright, people are getting more nervous," said Wolf.

Facebook Ventures Into New Territory with Organ Donor Status
Facebook is now in the business of saving lives, with another change it hopes all of its members will move swiftly to "like."
The social network behemoth announced Tuesday morning a plan to encourage its millions of friends to start advertising their organ donor status on their Facebook pages. Facebook hopes the status update will create a kind of gentle peer pressure that will urge its 161 million U.S. members to add their names to the list of registered donors.
More than 114,000 people in the United States, and millions more worldwide, are waiting for life saving heart, liver or kidney transplants. On average, 18 die per day because there aren't enough organs for transplants.
Facebook aims to change that.
The status change is being rolled out first in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, where Facebook has some 30 million members.
Plans are to add other countries in the coming months.
Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement, "We never could have anticipated that what started as a small network would evolve into such a powerful tool for communication and problem solving."

Red Cross, Gulf Coast needs help
To the Editor:
Mainers, your community and your country need your help. The American Red Cross is currently providing aid and comfort to people along the Gulf Coast as the affects of Hurricane Isaac linger.
We were in these communities before Isaac hit, and we'll be helping people for weeks to come by providing food, shelter, relief supplies, and other forms of support.
In fact, over 30 Red Cross volunteers from every corner of Maine – your friends and neighbors – have joined thousands of others deployed to lend their time and talent to the relief efforts.
We need your help now. After a busy summer of helping people affected by wildfires, power outages and floods, Red Cross resources are stretched thin. Relief services for Isaac could cost tens of millions of dollars.
As a point of reference, just last year, Red Cross relief efforts for Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee alone cost $18 million. All assistance provided by the Red Cross is free of charge and made possible by the generosity of the American public.
As Mainers answered the call for help after last year's storms, we're asking you to display your generosity once again to not only allow us to continue our work on the Gulf Coast, but to equip the Red Cross with the tools we need to respond when, not if, the next disaster strikes.
Your gift will have a direct impact on the lives of those who have been shaken by tragedy. As little as $40 can supply meals for a family of four for one day, $50 can buy four days of supplies for an infant whose family has been left without basics like diapers, wipes, and formula.
hundred dollars can buy clean-up kits for five families whose homes have been damaged (including a mop, broom, trash bags and cleaning supplies). Put simply, the need is real and your generosity can help us meet it.
To donate, people can visit www.MaineRedCross.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
As the storm subsides and the public's attention on its impact wanes, victims are still left to pick up the pieces after the devastation left in Isaac's wake. They need our help now more than ever.

Volcanologist Dave Sherrod of the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, USGS, and Michael Manga, Associate Professor of Hydrogeology at the University of California, Berkeley, describe how mantle rock melts into magma and how the more buoyant, liquid magma floats toward the Earth's surface. They also compare the amount of dissolved gases in Hawaiian volcanoes versus Mount St. Helens. Different compositions of magma create shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes. Gas-enriched, higher-silica eruptions create classic stratovolcanoes, while the less-gaseous, low-silica magma in the Hawaiian volcanoes erupts to create shield volcanoes. Run Time: 00:07:00

Gay couples headed towards retirement face a double-whammy: First, according to a new study, they are less likely to be financially prepared to stop working compared to members of the general population.
[See Gay Couples Face Extra Financial Challenges]
Second, since most states don't allow gay couples to marry, they are unable to access tax benefits such as inheriting their partners' estates tax-free upon death (a problem relevant only to wealthy couples). They are also unable to grant their partners Social Security survivor benefits. That can leave surviving partners in a financial tight spot if the primary earner and asset-owner dies first.
The MetLife Mature Market Institute reports that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender baby boomers are less likely to feel financially prepared for retirement than their heterosexual counterparts, with 31 percent saying they are prepared versus 39 percent of the generation population. As a result, almost half of LGBT baby boomers say they don't expect to retire until they are at least 70. (Just four in ten respondents in the general population say the same.) Members of the LGBT community are also more likely to fear outliving their income (29 versus 26 percent).
[See 2010: Cheapest Year to Die?]
But that doesn't mean LGBT baby boomers need to resign themselves to a cash-poor retirement. MetLife makes the following recommendations to members of the community:
- Focus on estate planning. Wills and trusts can help gay couples navigate their unique tax situation.
- Consider your health. A priority of visitation document can guarantee that your partner, or whomever you consider to be family, will have access to you if you're hospitalized. A living will can also specify your health care preferences.
- Review assets. If you have a partner, check whose name appears on which assets, including bank accounts, investment accounts, and homes.
- Check up on employee benefits. Employers treat same-sex partners in various ways; make sure you know whether yours offers domestic partner benefits, including life insurance and long-term care insurance. Also check to see if your partner can be named the beneficiary of your pension in the event of your death.
What about the popular stereotype that gay retirees are wealthier, since they're less likely to have had kids sucking away their income for the previous 30 years? The MetLife study suggests that's just a myth, and that any financial benefit of being gay doesn't outweigh the extra challenges LGBT individuals and couples face.
For more information, check out the full MetLife report and suggestions.
