What We're Sweet On: The Perfect Candle For Summer
Home fragrances like candles are one of beauty's more luxurious products, and for good reason. There's nothing better than striking a match, lighting a candle, and settling down for some beauty rest after a long day . . . especially if you've got a candle like Aerin's Sky Flower Candle ($58). Part of Aerin's Home Fragrance Collection, which was created in conjunction with Nest Fragrances, Sky Flower evokes the scent of a lush garden bouquet. Notes of gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, and magnolia mesh playfully with hints of bergamot and bourbon vanilla, making this candle the ultimate buy for floral lovers. And as if that weren't enough, Sky Flower is packaged in a gorgeous box that's more keepsake than clutter. And once the wax is gone, you can use the frosted blue glass holder to house its own floral bouquet, making this a candle that comes full circle.

The New Way to Do a Milkmaid Braid à la Beth Behrs
Last night at the Monsters University premiere in LA, Beth Behrs did a new take on a favorite Summer style. While we're used to seeing the classic milkmaid braid, Beth added even more texture by pinning up two fishtail braids instead. Her stylist Aviva Perea curled her hair in one-inch sections wrapping each piece in opposite directions. Then she used Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo ($5) all over her hair to help add texture. Perea made four braids, two behind each ear. The braids were half fishtail with the ends being regular three-strand braids. She pinned up the braids to frame Beth's blunt bangs and left tendrils around her face to draw attention to the colorful eye makeup.
Her makeup artist, Jamie Greenberg, created the colorful eye makeup with a mix of pink, purple, and burgundy eye shadows to make her blue eyes pop. She started by applying a primer to lids for staying power. The pink shade on Beth's crease is Mark i-Mark Eye Shadow in Luvstruck ($7) mixed with a darker burgundy shade on the outer corners. Greenberg then used a purple hue to line the eyes. Finally, she layered black mascara with YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara in Burgundy ($30). Even though Beth wore this look on the red carpet, it's easily translatable to any Summer soiree this season.

Robert Parker's Words About The 2008 Vintage Lift Prices
Filed under: Wine
Many people have said that while the 2008 is better than was expected, it's not extraordinary. Parker's enthusiastic endorsing of the vintage has wine sellers concerned afraid the chateaux may raise their prices because of Parker's endorsement.

Being a young baseball player, you're not only trying to win state championships, but you're also trying to create a legacy that will result in a college scholarship.
These athletes play for the love of the game and their names on the front of their jerseys — Fairmont Senior, North Marion and East Fairmont. Though the names represent what school these athletes attend, that doesn't show who they truly are. That's when numbers come in effect.
Three area standouts that put their last names on the map during the 2013 spring baseball season are Fairmont Senior's Gage Hannah, East Fairmont's Truman Weese and North Marion's Travis Smith. All three are juniors, all three helped guide their team as leaders and all three are potential threats for first-team Class AA all-state recognition next season.

BrdsNBz service lets teens text sex questions to a hotline
Oh, the birds and the bees. Not so long ago parents and kids alike would typically dread having "the talk" in all its analog, face-to-face glory.

Friday, Nov 2911:18 AMJefferies cuts Renren following Q4 guidance; firm sees problems continuing
- Jefferies' Cynthia Meng has cut Renren (RENN -10.4%) to Underperform after the company provided dispiriting Q4 guidance to go with mixed Q3 results.
- Meng doesn't see Renren's gaming ops (saw a 16.9% rev. drop in Q3, and will likely witness a bigger drop in Q4) rebounding in the near-term, given intense competition from Tencent and other firms with strong mobile game distribution. Renren has said it plans to focus on a smaller number of "high-quality" games" going forward.
- Meng also questions Renren's ability to transition from being a social networking platform to a social messaging platform (the company just launched a mobile messaging app), given the popularity of incumbents such as Tencent's WeChat, and notes iResearch estimates Renren has respectively seen 55% and 38% Y/Y drops in monthly time spent and daily active users.
- On the CC (transcript), Renren stated its ad sales (-11% Y/Y in Q3) were pressured by both the mobile transition and social networking competition, and that it plans to launch "a series of marketing campaigns" to promote its messaging app. The company also noted only ~10% of its Q4 ad revenue is expected to come from mobile.
Friday, Nov 2911:18 AM| Comment! -
Wednesday, Nov 276:27 PMRenren -10.5% AH following mixed Q3 results, very weak guidance
- Renren (RENN) is guiding for Q4 revenue of $29M-$31M. That's far below a consensus of $48.9M, and also down sharply from Q3 and year-ago levels of $47.6M and $48.8M, respectively.
- Renren's Q3 numbers make some likely culprits for the guidance apparent. After rising 1% in Q2, online game revenue fell 17% Y/Y to $20.1M due to the maturing of existing titles (and the failure of new titles to make up for it). Online ad revenue, up 2% in Q2, fell 11% Y/Y to $14.9M as Renren continues to bleed Chinese social networking share to Tencent and Sina.
- Two bright spots: Other Internet value-added service revenue rose 32% to $6.1M thanks to Renren's Woxiu virtual talent show service, and the Nuomi daily deals unit (now 59%-owned by Baidu) saw revenue rise 36% to $6.5M.
- In spite of Renren's revenue pressures, opex rose 27% Y/Y. Sales/marketing spend +34% to $28.5M, R&D +7% to $22.4M, G&A +57% to $14.6M. Given the Q4 guidance, job cuts might soon be on the way.
- Confirming a Marbridge Consulting report, Renren says it's restructuring its gaming ops to focus on "high-quality games."

Friday, Nov 154:04 PMRenren reportedly set to cut back on gaming efforts
- Marbridge Consulting reports Renren (RENN +1.2%) CEO Joe Chen stated in an internal e-mail his company will narrow its gaming efforts in order to focus on its social networking ops.
- Gaming-related weakness (blamed on game launch delays) led Renren to issue a Q2 warning in July, and provide weak Q3 guidance in August. The company's gaming ops, which face tough competition from Tencent, NetEase, Shanda, Qihoo, and many other Chinese game providers, totaled $22.4M in Q2, up 1.4% Y/Y and equal to 45% of total revenue.
- Renren's social networking ops face have their own challenges: The company's ad revenue only rose 2.4% Y/Y in Q2 to $15.4M, as Chinese Web/mobile users embrace rival social networking platforms such as Tencent's WeChat and Sina's Weibo.
- Q3 results are due this month.

Thursday, Nov 711:48 AMInternet momentum stocks sell off as Twitter soars
- Even as Twitter blasts off to a $25B valuation following its much-hyped IPO, U.S. and foreign Internet stocks are giving back some more of the massive 2013 gains that have led many names to trade at steep multiples.
- One sign investors in this space are in a profit-taking mood: Zillow (Z -4.3%) and YY both sold off yesterday in spite of delivering Q3 beats (I, II) and above-consensus guidance; Zillow is adding to its losses today. Likewise, SouFun (SFUN -5.4%) has turned negative after providing a Q3 beat and strong guidance.
- Notable U.S. decliners: FB -2.4%. LNKD -2.8%. GRPN -4.7% (reports after the close). ZNGA -2.7%. P -3.8%. TRLA -5.4%.
- Notable foreign decliners: BIDU -2.4%. QIHU -6.7%. SINA -5% (generally viewed as the Chinese Twitter). DANG -6.2%. VIPS -7.7%. RENN -4.2%. AMAP -4.7%. CTRP -5.7%. YOKU -5.6%. RENN -4.2%. YNDX -5.1%. MELI -2.4% (plunged yesterday thanks to a Q3 miss). SIFY -2.6%.

Tuesday, Oct 298:21 PMChinese Web names higher following Baidu's Q3 report; NQ adds to gains
- Several Chinese Internet names recently pressured by a generally selloff in tech momentum plays are up AH after Baidu beat Q3 estimates on the back of strong growth in ad revenue/customer, and issued above-consensus Q4 guidance.
- NQ Mobile (NQ) is up 2.5% AH after posting a 25.1% gain in regular trading as investors welcomed its fund transfer announcement.
- Bulls and bears continue to argue fiercely over NQ's prospects. On SA, bearish Goldbaum Research observes NQ's games (offered via its FL Mobile game publishing subsidiary) appear to have been pulled from Apple's App Store, while bullish Toro Investment Partners argues Muddy Waters' track record is quite mixed, and that many firms have had a chance to look at NQ's books.

Monday, Oct 2812:15 PMTech momentum plays dive again
- Though the Nasdaq is only down 0.1%, many 2013 Internet, solar, and enterprise software high-flyers are diving once more. Chinese names are well-represented in the group, as NQ Mobile continues crashing thanks to fraud allegations and Sohu plunges due to weak Q4 EPS guidance.
- The WSJ and NYT have each run pieces asking whether a new tech bubble is afoot, at least in certain hot sectors. "People are reaching for growth," says one fund manager quoted by the WSJ. Others argue the fact the high-flyers generally have substantial revenue, and are often profitable, makes the current situation different from the Dot.com bubble.
- Internet decliners: FB -3.4%. MELI -2.8%. GRPN -5%. ZNGA -2.7%. P -2.4%. DANG -7.6%. VIPS -7%. YY -4.8%. QIHU -5.6%. RENN -5.7%. SINA -2.4%. FUEL -4%.
- Solar decliners: JKS -12.4%. FSLR -4.8%. SOL -8.4%. YGE -8%. JASO -6.9%. GTAT -5.4%. SUNE -4.6%. SPWR -4.3%. SCTY -3.8%. STP -8.9%. TSL -13.2%.

Friday, Oct 1810:29 AMGoogle tops $1,000 following Q3 beat; peers rally in sympathy
- "We believe that Google's (GOOG +12.8%) ability to monetize experiences through engagement-based services will allow it to disrupt many hardware and software layers over time," writes Evercore's Ken Sena, exemplifying the glowing analyst commentary that has followed Google's Q3 beat.
- Sena, who is raising his PT to $1,100, sees Google's services investments pressuring near-term margins, but also creating "a stronger platform ecosystem in which more collected data, better predictive analytics, and an increased amount of screen connectivity will lead to better overall search economics in addition to new opportunities."
- Needham and Jefferies have raised their PTs to $1,150, and Deutsche has raised its target to $1,220. YouTube's mobile growth, strong paid click volumes, and the potential for Enhanced Campaigns to lift search ad sales (after doing less damage than expected in Q3) are all mentioned as reasons to stay bullish.
- U.S. Internet peers continue to rally in sympathy: FB +4.1%. LNKD +3.7%. YELP +7.8%. AMZN +3.3%. Z +3.9%. TRLA +4.8%. ZNGA +2.8%.
- Foreign Internet names are also moving higher: BIDU +5%. YOKU +6.9%. SINA +3.7%. RENN +4.4%. QIHU +4.9%. DANG +5.9%. YNDX +4%. SIFY +3.4%.

Tuesday, Oct 811:48 AMRisk off? High-flying U.S., Chinese Internet stocks get hammered
- With the government shutdown having reached day 8, many U.S. and Chinese Internet stocks that have seen giant 2013 gains (often with the help of momentum traders and/or short squeezes) are falling sharply.
- U.S. decliners include Facebook (FB -5.2%), Yahoo (YHOO -5.2%), Netflix (NFLX -4.7%), LinkedIn (LNKD -7%), Zillow (Z -5.3%), Trulia (TRLA -7.5%), Yelp (YELP -9.3%), Groupon (GRPN -4.9%), and Web.com (WWWW -10.2%).
- Chinese decliners include Baidu (BIDU -6.2%), Sina (SINA -7.5%), YY (YY -7.3%), Sohu (SOHU -5.1%), Renren (RENN -9.2%), Youku (YOKU -9.6%), Vipshop (VIPS -6.9%), and Dangdang (DANG -10.7%).
- A chart of the YTD performance of some key names speaks for itself.

Friday, Oct 412:24 PMChinese Internet stocks rally after Twitter S-1 filed
- Chinese Internet firms, already shown plenty of love by momentum traders this year, are rallying again following the release of Twitter's public S-1.
- Chinese microblogging leader Sina (SINA +4%) is among the gainers, and so are fellow social networking plays YY (YY +3.2%) and Renren (RENN +9.7%). But several other names are also taking part in the rally: BIDU +2%. NQ +2.7%. CYOU +6.9%. DANG +4.1%. SOHU +5.4%. SFUN +5.8%. AMAP +3.4%. QIHU +2%.
- Twitter mentioned in its S-1 78% of the 218.3M monthly active users it had at the end of Q2 were outside the U.S. But few of them are in China, where its services (like Facebook's) are generally blocked.

Monday, Aug 267:08 PMNuomi eying IPO following Baidu's purchase of 59% stake
- Shortly after Baidu (BIDU) acquired a 59% stake in Renren's (RENN) Nuomi Chinese group-buying site for $160M (via newly-issued shares), Nuomi's CEO has sent out a memo stating the business will be split from Renren, and is eventually looking to go public.
- Reviewing the deal, Tech in Asia's C. Custer suggests Baidu bought a controlling stake in Nuomi to shore up its e-commerce bona fides as it increasingly butts heads with fellow Chinese Web giants Alibaba and Tencent. He also notes Baidu could cross-promote Nuomi's deals via Baidu Maps (Google has begun doing something similar with Google Offers and Maps).
- Also: The Next Web's Jon Russell takes a look at Baidu's Light App platform, which enables mobile users to quickly load Web-based apps by inputting a search term. Light App bears a strong resemblance to Baidu's popular Box Computing PC search/app platform.
- Baidu says Light App will be monetized via ads and revenue-sharing deals, and could potentially serve different apps based on a user's device or location.

On Sunday I was lucky enough to get my first game of Black Powder in. My friend and I rolled up to the gaming club bright and early and got straight into the game after spending a few minutes admiring each other's minis. As my friend has Prussians and I have British, it was obviously a little inaccurate as far as history went, so we decided to assign special rules a little more freely. The British took First Fire on all their line units whilst the Prussians took Tough Fighters on theirs.
To begin with, we decided to alternate deploying units in a gentlemanly manner and after a few minutes pushing bases around we finally got everything set up.
The Prussians under the overall command of Colonel Von Laycock deployed at one end of the table (we played end to end on a 6' by 4' table).
Meanwhile my own British infantry deployed in attack column at the other end. Colonel Ditherington, the officer in command of the force led the left flank with the 4th Kings Own and the Black Watch.
Whilst Colonel Wilbur-Smythe took command on the right with the Royal Artillery Battery and the 35th Sussex.
(Yes, I know the cannon is pointing the wrong way. I dont have a horse team to make a limber with. Maybe in future).
The Prussians won the first turn and began with a rather sedate advance.
In the British first turn, Colonel Ditherington ordered the Black Watch to advance and form a line. The brave Scots moved 24" up the field to form a firing line behind a low wall. Sadly the 4th Kings Own were less eager to meet the enemy and decided to hold back. On the right flank the Royal Artillery and 35th Sussex advanced, but the artillery was unable to unlimber this turn. A volley of fire at maximum range from the Black Watch succeeded in causing a few light casualties amongst the oncoming Prussians.
As the Prussians continued their advance, a line of infantry and the Prussian skirmishers advanced on the Scot's position. However, one of the other Prussian line units refused to budge despite General Von Laycock yelling at them at the top of his lungs. Obviously they weren't happy about having to march towards the British Guns.
The Prussian firing did very little to the scots who stood firm behind the wall.
Finally, Colonel Ditherington got the Kings Own regiment moving, no doubt threatening them with a visit from the provosts. The British forces began to manouver into a firing line, with all the units setting up for a round of shooting.
Seeing as their musket volleys were having little effect, the Prussian line charged at the Black Watch and despite suffering casualties from the closing fire from the british, succeeded in not only launching an assault but also pushing the scots back from the wall and out of their defensive positions. Luckily the doughty men from the north weren't going to turn and run at the first sign of trouble and bravely stood their ground.
With the left flank fully engaged, Colonel Wilbur-Smythe ordered the 35th - veterans of the peninsular campaign against Boney's french - to advance and try to enfillade the Prussians. Sadly they didnt quite reach their intended goal, but were still able to take up a solid firing position. Along with the 4th and the Royal Artillery, they were able to disorder most of the forward Prussian units.
With many of his units halted due to musketry, Colonel Von Laycock tried to rally one of his line units and get them back into the fight. Sadly his adjutant must have been dehorsed by a well placed bullet as the message never got through and the unit refused to budge. The final Prussian unit had been joined by the Von Laycock's second in command Colonel Wolfgang Heinrich Gruber and they advanced to join the firing line with a "Follow Me" order. It was at this point the disaster struck the Prussians as the Black Watch showed the enemy what it meant to go toe to toe with a scotsman and beat the Prussian infantry facing them and broke the unit as they rolled snake eyes for their morale test.
Seeing the flank starting to open up, the men of the 4th Kings Own regiment charged the skirmishing Prussian unit in front of them and stormed right through, the smaller, rag tag scouts being no match for the cream of the British army.
Seeing his chances for victory (and a promotion too no doubt) slowly slipping away, Colonel Von Laycock dragged his remaining units into line and delivered several volleys into the oncoming British infantry. Due to wet powder or just incompetence, the Prussian shooting failed to do much more than cause the British to duck their heads a little.
Like a well oiled machine, the British forces swung into position, forming a thin red line facing the Prussian guns. Volleys of fire sprang from the British lines and soon the entire front was swathed in thick clouds of gunsmoke and the stink of burned powder. As the smoke cleared, the British held the field, with the Prussian brigade in flight and the moans of the dead and the dying surrounding them.
My opponent was a good sport and I had a great time playing. The rules themselves seemed very intuitive and easy to follow. The no-nonsense style of the game made for some fast turns and we were done in about 2 hours despite the fact that neither of us had played before. I think that this is going to be a game that I keep playing for a long time to come.

This week on From on the Vault, we celebrate Karl Marx's birthday with a performance of Marx in Soho, Howard Zinn's play that resurrects the German philosopher in defense of his theory and character. A one-man play written in 1999, Marx in Soho starred Brian Jones and effectively potrayed Marx as a family man struggling to support his wife and children. This performance was recorded specifically for radio in 2001 by KPFK in Los Angeles.
From the Vault is presented through the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, past grants from the Grammy Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners.

Trout seem to learn that danger
Is associated with artificial flies;
Perhaps it is the hook in them.
Though the subtitle is "found poems," perhaps it's more appropriate to call these "edit poems." Annie Dillard read a variety of texts and found in them statements and phrasings that fascinated or amused her. The result, once assembled, is like collage or mosaic, a new picture is made out of broken off pieces. Dillard mines a junior high primer, an oceanography text, the New Testament Apocrypha, among other sources. My favorite poem, "The Hunter," is one Dillard snipped from a book by a Russian naturalist. "Do you know how a hunter's heart unfolds? / I walked over the snow – the crust held. … One lacks words to describe what the deep forest / Is like at night when you know that the great birds / Are asleep overhead." I am enchanted by the seeking suggested, not just a hunt for prey, but a search for one's place in the world. A sensibility is at play in this collection, nosing through a world of half-discarded knowledge and finding toys, some of which, it turns out, are surprisingly serious. Asks Vincent van Gogh in lines Dillard extracted from one of his letters, "Why should not the shining dots of the sky / Be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?"

text: Harold Rosen Inducted 2003 In 1957, the United States was facing a problem. The Russians had successfully launched Sputnik and effectively beat them into space. As a result, Harold Rosen, an engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company, found himself heading in a completely new direction from the airborne radar project on which he was working. The need to develop global communications was clear. Global telephone calls were expensive, relying on cables to transmit signals, and global television transmission was nonexistent. Technology available at the time provided limited international communication with the use of numerous aluminum-coated balloons in a low-orbit above the Earth. Given the demand for better international communication and new opportunities in aerospace, Harold Rosen began to pursue work on a new communications satellite. Invention Impact Rosen knew that to provide consistent 24-hour communication, he would need to develop an active communications satellite that remained in orbit with the Earth. To do this required a simple and lightweight design with a spin-stabilized control system to keep the satellite in synchronous orbit. The ultimate solution for a satellite that would maintain an orbit above a fixed point on earth came with "spin-stabilized configuration." One of the challenges of maintaining a satellite in this fixed orbit came from the heavy weight of its stabilizing devices. Rosen's ingenious solution was for a lightweight satellite that stabilized itself by continuous spinning. Rosen's team, including Don Williams, an engineer with previous work on the development of a navigation satellite that became the predecessor to GPS, along with Tom Hudspeth and John Mendel, began work on creating a lightweight transmitter and receiver for use in the satellite. The team began building a ground model of the satellite for Hughes Aircraft in 1958 and received additional funding in 1960 to build a prototype. The team took their satellite to the Paris Air Show in 1961 and demonstrated the satellite's capabilities by taking pictures of the crowd, relaying them through the transmitter and receiver to beam the images back to the crowd. When they returned from Europe, the team received a contract from the government to build a flight model. The government project, titled Syncom (Synchronous Communication) continued for another two years before the satellite launched in 1963. Syncom 1, a model of the satellite only intended for a few voice channels never made it off the ground, exploding at launch in February 1963. A few months later the team successfully launched Syncom 2 and the next year launched Syncom 3. With a wider band receiver, Syncom 3 could accommodate television signals and was used during the Tokyo Olympics to deliver the first continuous transoceanic television broadcast. With the launch of Syncom 1, CommCast Corporation was formed by an act of Congress, charging it with a charter to provide commercial communications via satellite. With the success of Syncom 2 and Syncom 3, Hughes Aircraft was selected to build a satellite based on its previously demonstrated technology but with commercial frequencies. This new satellite was first launched in 1965. CommCast worked with European affiliates to form an international communications satellite organization, IntelSat, thus leading the way to international commercial communications via satellite. Inventor Bio Born in 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Harold Rosen graduated from Tulane University in 1947 with a degree in Engineering and went on to receive degrees from the California Institute of Technology. Always interested in math and science while growing up, Rosen built a crystal radio, became a radio amateur in high school and was a transmitter engineer at a radio station in college. Harold Rosen has received such honors as the Lloyd V. Berkner Award from the American Astronautical Society in 1976 and Presidential Medal of Technology in 1985. He was also inducted into the Society of Satellite Professionals International Hall of Fame in 1987, and during his lifetime he has been the recipient of more than fifty patents. |

The University of Newcastle has secured an extra 55 Commonwealth Supported Places for enabling programs in 2012 increasing the total to 1560.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, said through the increase the Australian Government had recognised the vital role and transformative power of higher education to communities in our regions.
In November, the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations advised universities that Commonwealth Supported Places for enabling programs would be capped in 2012, resulting in a potential loss of 50 places at the University of Newcastle.
The University made a strong case to the Government about the importance of enabling programs to Newcastle and its regions and is delighted that this case has been accepted.
"Equity and access to education are important platforms for Newcastle. We have a proud tradition of providing greater access to higher education for disadvantaged groups," Professor McMillen said.
"The Government's decision to support Newcastle's focus on these programs means that the University can continue to provide valuable and much needed opportunities to ensure as many people as possible can access a university education."
In 2012, the University will provide 1560 places in its enabling programs, which include Open Foundation, Newstep and Yapug. These programs prepare people for university over the course of a year and provide them a credential to apply for a degree.
Approximately 85 per cent of University of Newcastle students who complete an enabling program go on to undergraduate study. Enabling students make up approximately 20 per cent of our commencing undergraduate EFTSL. Some 15 per cent of our students who enrol in study at Honours level have a prior enabling background.
For interviews with Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, contact Media and Public Relations Officer Carmen Swadling on 02 4985 4276 or 0428 038477.

Opening: Thursday, December 12th, from 6:00-7:30pm.
ArtsWest Gallery, Seattle WA
* * * * * * *
After working in painting and mixed media for many years, a long held obsession with decorative tins took over my studio. I am drawn to the intricate patterns of the tins, the range of colors as well as the effects of aging; the dents, the scratches and the fading.
For several years now, I have been making tin assemblage pieces from flattened and snipped decorative tins and Civil War-era tintype photos. The contrast and balance of the colorful tins with the gray tones of the tintypes and the somber expressions of the tintype faces is an essential part of my compositions, often evoking a sense of nostalgia and melancholy that is central to my work.
By combining appropriated commercial imagery from the past into something new and by casting strangers, long dead, into new identities, I am drawn to the seemingly endless possibilities and stories that I can coax from these small pieces of metal.

This is to all those negative nellies that roam the dark corners of this here blogs. All you idiots who were calling for Chris Cook to be cut and jailed for what? So it seems Chris didn't choke old Chantel. Chris is getting his day in court and his girlfriend has closed down all those dastardly rumors. Take a look at her testimony:
"Chantel Baker, went to a strip club before the incident and also had an engagement ring for her that weekend to propose. Then this afternoon when Baker took the stand to give her version of the story it got even more outlandish. As expected, Baker contended that Cook was indeed acting in self-defense and that the whole quarrel was her fault. The most interesting things to note that per Baker were that Cook never put his hand around her neck, she was able to breathe the entire evening, the red marks on her neck were hickeys that Cook gave her, she threw a lamp at him to begin the fracas and later hit him with a wedge shoe leading to Cook acting in self-defense. Baker also stated she was upset early in the evening that Cook's dance with a stripper went longer than she felt it should have and has kept one of Cook's dreadlocks (he has since cut them) that she tore out that evening."
See that? Huh? What do you think now? Those were hickeys, not finger marks on Chanteldos neck....hickeys! Girlfriend was breathing fine, just a few hickeys. Talkin' bout hickeys? Not choking....hickeys. Freds thinks many of you owe old Chris Cook an apology. Bitch hit Cook with a "wedge shoe". Freds has been whacked by a wedge shoe in his day, suckers hurt. Last time old Freds got a wedge shoe across the face, he nearly died. Kudos to Chris Cook, all he did was snuggle up with his gal and laid a few dozen finger shaped hickeys on the wedge shoe throwing women. He showed great restrain.
Freds things this women should be send to jail for assault and batteries (not to mention dreadlock removal).
As you all know.... if the hickey don't fit, you must acquit.

In South Miami, the leafy, pleasant suburb off U.S. 1 just south of the University of Miami campus, the tenor of political discourse tends to toggle between the mundane and the absurd.
Lately it has been more of the latter.
At a meeting last month, Mayor Philip Stoddard and a commission ally were talking about ousting the city's police chief, something they can't do because only the city manager has that power (and they had just fired him four days earlier).
Commissioner Valerie Newman, a foe of the mayor, didn't like what she was hearing and began to object vehemently.
Mayor Stoddard, a bespectacled biology professor at Florida International University, banged his gavel like an impatient Judge Wapner. Newman interpreted that as a cue to proceed.
"These are scoundrels sitting up here who are afraid of being arrested for nudity in front of two minors," Newman blurted out of the blue. "[And] another one for housing a wanted criminal in his back yard."
Unusual. And yet so very South Miami, where the politics are raw and deeply personal.
The stakes may be small, but the personalities, peccadilloes and grudges are jumbo size.
"This is unlike any thing I have ever seen," said longtime political activist Richard Ward, who, as a former middle school assistant principal, has presumably witnessed some unruly behavior. "There has always been back-stabbing, but this — this is just South Miami getting worse."
This is the city where a previous mayor, running for a new term, was arrested outside of City Hall on election eve for allegedly accepting an illegal contribution. He lost the election (but won acquittal).
A weekly newspaper publisher once ran for mayor even though it was an open secret that his condo was outside the city. The publisher explained that he slept on a cot at his newspaper plant, which is in the city, making him a resident and thereby qualified to run and serve. An architect who supported the other guy would crank-call the publisher at odd hours of the night to see if he lived where he said he did. And if he answered the phone? The architect would say "just checking" and hang up.
It's where a city supervisor — the human resources manager, no less — hired her brother-in-law as parks and recreation director, despite his lying about having a master's degree. The manager resigned in lieu of being fired.
The problem with running for office in South Miami is that you might actually win. And then you will be bombarded with personal attacks. Even before his election, during the 2010 campaign, opponents claimed Stoddard was a convicted drug dealer, which he wasn't. Someone with a similar name –– Phillip Dale Stoddard –– had the rap sheet. And yet, Stoddard won.
During the last election in February, opponents distributed flyers accusing Stoddard of polluting city water by building a pool-sized fish pond in his backyard without a permit. Stoddard said the city didn't require a permit, but he has since gotten one.
Stoddard's academic studies focus on how animals' dishonesty affects communication systems. One study examined the behavior of electric fish, including their sexual behavior.
Newman latched onto that tidbit, labeling the mayor "a pervert" during a public meeting.

New York State Courts Celebrates 10,000 Consumer Debt Defendants Served by Volunteer Lawyer for the Day Pro Bono Program and Honors Program Partners
The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program hosted a reception at the New York City Civil Court to celebrate the milestone of 10,000 consumer debt defendants served by its Volunteer Lawyer for the Day Program since its inception. The program included remarks by Chief Administrative Judge A. Gail Prudenti. Over 100 of the program's volunteer attorneys attended the reception and the following program partners were honored:
- New York Appleseed;
- Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project;
- New York County Lawyers' Association; and
- New York Legal Assistance Group
We are so proud of the hundreds of attorneys who have provided legal representation through this program and our four partner organizations who have worked with us to achieve justice for so many thousands of litigants.
Successful Fourth free Bridge-The-Gap CLE in return for Pro Bono Service in NYS Courts Access to Justice Program
The fourth series of free bridge-the-gap CLE trainings in return for pro bono service in the New York State Courts Access to Justice Program was successfully concluded in April. Over 100 attorneys were trained to provide free legal advice and limited representation to unrepresented litigants and began their pro bono service in New York City's Housing, Civil, and Supreme Courts in May. Recent law school graduates and newly admitted attorneys are able to fulfill their first or second year Mandatory CLE requirements as well as New York's new mandate of 50 hours of pro bono service for new attorneys through participation in this program.
CLE training was offered in Consumer Law, Uncontested Divorce, Landlord/Tenant Law and Ethics. In return for CLE training, participants were required to complete a 50 hour supervised pro bono practicum assisting litigants in NYC Housing, Civil and Supreme Courts within 6 months of training. Since the program's inception in 2011, over 400 recent law school graduates and newly admitted attorneys have signed up for this CLE series and provided pro bono service to more than 4,500 litigants. Demand for this program is so strong that each of the series has been was oversubscribed within weeks of its announcement. It is hoped that involving attorneys in pro bono service early in their careers will encourage long-term commitment to public service within the profession. The program will be offered again in the Fall.
Spanish language feature added to Surrogate's Court DIY Safe Deposit Box Program
The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program has added a new Spanish feature to the Surrogate's Court Safe Deposit Box DIY Form program for Spanish speaking unrepresented litigants.

Family Offense Petition Pilot Project
A pilot project specifically designed for domestic violence advocates to assist DV litigants in completing and filing Family Offense Petitions is underway in the Bronx County Family Court. The New York State Court System's Office of Policy and Planning, Department of Technology, NYC Family Court Administration, and Access to Justice Program, worked with Pro Bono Net and the Center for Court Innovation to build the capability to directly transfer data collected in the program into the Family Court's case management system.
If this pilot project is successful, the program's application will be expanded throughout New York State in the latter part of 2013 and will be of great benefit to domestic violence victims. Bronx advocate groups interested in using the program, or anyone interested in learning more, can contact Bronx County Chief Clerk Mike Williams: email@example.com.
It is anticipated that in the coming years the technology designed for this document assembly program will lead to the e-filing of documents produced by the DIY Form programs.

One of coastal Maine's finest resort golf destinations
Samoset's 18-hole championship golf course will delight both the serious and recreational player. The course meanders along the coast and through the woods, boasting seven oceanside holes and ocean vistas from 14 holes. The golf complex includes a clubhouse with an indoor/outdoor grille, golf range, practice green, short game facility with bunkers and private or group instruction.
Originally designed as a 9-hole course in 1902, Samoset Resort celebrated its centennial year in 2002. In 1974, the course was rebuilt as an 18-hole course by Robert Elder. In the early 1990's, Jeffrey Cornish improved many of the holes including 10, 11 and 18. In 2000, Bradley Booth was instrumental in redesigning and rebuilding holes 4, 5, 14, 18 and the introduction of the practice area.
The course features some of the most spectacular views of Penobscot Bay, with a granite seawall separating the golfer from the Atlantic Ocean. Samoset Resort was also a qualifying event on the former Nike Tour. Past upgrades by Maine architect Bradley Booth have strengthened the resort's reputation of having a premier championship layout.
In addition to the newer 18th, the par-five 4th, Samoset's legendary signature hole that plays alongside Penobscot Bay, has undergone extensive enhancements to the green and surrounding area. The hole now boasts an impressive stone seawall that encompasses the contoured green with added bunkers and elevation. Coupled with the redesigned 185-yard par-three 5th hole (formally a par-four), featuring a demanding uphill slope and a tee box located directly above the seawall on Penobscot Bay, playing to a heavily bunkered bank to front sloping green, the golf course has certainly increased its ability to challenge golfers.
