Swag: The Currency of HollywoodMichael White
Every winter, Hollywood's biggest stars descend on film festivals and awards shows to promote their latest projects, exchange air kisses, and—most importantly—walk away with thousands of dollars in swag. At last month's Sundance Film Festival, James Franco, Jeremy Piven, and Elizabeth Olsen (the other other Olsen sister) were frequent guests of gifting suites. Items up for grabs ranged from tubes of Supergoop! sunscreen and Samsung Galaxy Tab handheld computers to Carrera sunglasses and Puma sneakers. Attendees were following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton, who once left a 2009 Sundance lounge with more than two dozen bags of free merchandise.
For many companies, giving away tons of free merchandise is worth the cost. RevitaLash scored a PR coup last month when Jennifer Love Hewitt proclaimed her devotion to the eyelash conditioner—telling a throng of paparazzi, "I love RevitaLash!"—while visiting a Golden Globes gifting suite. Hawking to movie stars has been particularly good to the small Ventura (Calif.) cosmetics company. In 2010 it spent $50,000 sponsoring and supplying film festivals and awards show gifting lounges. The company believes it generated press coverage equal to $2.4 million in advertising expenses.
While most companies keep their swagonomics private, the ritual of giving away freebies to celebrities has made a dramatic return amid the economic recovery. Gavin Keilly, whose GBK Productions organizes various gifting spaces during awards season, has planned a lounge where Oscar nominees can walk away with goodies ranging from $350 020608 Tears of Bleu designer jeans to a $40,000 African safari. "There has been a resurgence," says Karen Wood of Backstage Creations, a swag suite production company. "In the context of the economy, people are spending more. We're getting busier than we were in the past two years." According to Lash Fary of gifting powerhouse Distinctive Assets, this year's unofficial "condolence bag" delivered to Academy Awards runners-up the day after the show is worth $75,000. It features an Indian Ocean vacation valued at $16,000.
The goal, of course, is to create buzz. For many companies the potential boon of linking a celebrity to a product—especially in the Twitter Age—outweighs the losses or gaucheness. "The right product combined with the right celebrity and the right exposure, those three things together can create a pretty powerful marketing tool," says Michael Stone, co-founder of the Beanstalk Group, a marketing consultant. Says GBK's Keilly: "If we get one or two placements from it, it pays for itself."
Swag has also jump-started its own micro-industry. At Sundance, companies paid $7,000 to $10,000 merely to participate in a gifting suite, plus $30,000 for name sponsorship. Suite producers—a gifting oligopoly that includes Backstage Creations, Distinctive Assets, GBK, and Talent Resources—also pay up to $200,000 to rent space, arrange celebrity visits, and manage publicity.
Despite the gaudy values of gift bags, though, few celebrities redeem their travel certificates, traditionally the most expensive items. Other goods get passed off. Says Redfoo, of hip-hop group LMFAO: "Some of this stuff, I've got to be honest, I'm going to give to my friends. I don't need it." And even though they're famous, celebrities aren't immune from the IRS. Companies hand out 1099 reporting forms along with any gift worth more than $600. For some celebrities, the paperwork may bring back Pavlovian memories of Swaggate. In 2006 the official Oscar gift bag—valued at more than $100,000—set off calls from the IRS. (The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took responsibility for taxes due on the swag—and discontinued the bags.) Meanwhile, Fary says, the actual value of the goods celebrities walk away with per event reaches only the low millions—particularly since so few redeem their vouchers.
Some gifting suites also allow celebrities to limit their tax liability by offering space to nonprofit groups. "It's a win-win-win situation," Keilly explains. "The celebrities win because they're getting a $50,000 or $60,000 gift bag. The charities win, and lastly, I win, because I'm making a living doing this."

Ten years ago the ten colleges in the Pacific Coast Conference hired a former FBI agent to keep their football "pure." But onetime G-Man Edwin Atherton, though he ruled some 50 players ineligible, never took the kind of step his successor, Victor O. Schmidt, did. Schmidt sleuthed campuses, found evidence that coaches and alumni were breaking rules in entertaining and recruiting star high-school athletes for conference teams. He thereupon fined every college in the conference last week. Oregon State College got off lightest: its fine was $25. The biggest was slapped on the best team: U.C.L.A., the conference champion, was fined...

feeling really down(13 Posts)
hi all i'm feeling really down at the moment i'm 11 weeks with my second baby and i'm trying soo hard to be happy but i just feel like everyone except me and my partner are against us having another child this soon after our daughter. i don't think it is soon at all as our daughter will be 1 a week today so will be about 18 months between them but my partner's brother and his wife have been trying since may and since they found out im pregnant again we havn't heard from them as much and his brother has been quite blunt with me so i'v decided to not bother contacting him incase they need space which i fully understand as it must be hard for them but my hormones are making me very upset over the way they are being. also my partner's parents don't seem overly happy (well his dad does but not so sure bout his mum) and they keep saying how hard it will be for me a if i don't know! my parents i am telling when they come for my daughter's bday but i know they won't be happy. i'm adopted and never really had a good relationship with them and my mum was really not happy when i was pregnant with my daughter as i was 19. our daughter and this baby were planned though and i have been with my partner over 4 years now and we are engaged so it isn't like we are being stupid. my best friend is also finding it hard as she has been told she may not be able to have any more children due to health problems. i just wish people would be a bit more happy for us. i don't have many friends where i live and i can't drive. i also can't get on buses as i have an axiety problem and had a panic attack last time i attempted a bus i am just feeling very down right now i'm sorry for the rant just needed to get it all out x
Oh MrsR
Just wanted to send you a very very big hug and
I am so sorry you feel so sad at the moment. Unfortunately pregnancy hormones definately make every thing feel a lot worse (I cried this afternoon whilst watching Sister Act!)
It's so hard when people are not supportive, especially when you need them most. So many people have a small age gag, whether planned or not, and they do brilliantly. Yes it will be hard at times, but your children will be able to grow up together, and people should be happy for you!
In 7 months you will have a gorgeous new baby and you'll be so happy this will all feel like a long time ago, so get yourself a hot chocolate and enjoy your pregnancy xxx
Racheld33, Thank you. You're right the hormones are crazy! i almost cried reading your post! Yes i wanted them close in age for that reason! i would love for them to be close with eachother. I guess i just need to ignore all the negativity from people xxx
Hugs to you MrsR, what a difficult situation. Your hormones will be everywhere and people being negative doesn't help. Try to focus on your lovely DD and OH and know that you are making a loving and supportive family of your own. You may be young but hardly irresponsible, and 18 months is completely usual as an age gap. I have also had negative comments but for the opposite reasons, I am 35 and my DD will be 3.5 when DC2 arrives. My family have been utterly uninterested other than to comment on birth defects and sibling rivalry, and two of my SIL have health issues affecting fertility. Luckily I have amazing friends locally and don't see my family much so just put it out of my mind as much as possible, and all the scans have been fine. As for rivalry, I think that can arise in any situation, but they can't help but be down on me. That's life.
Try to think positive, rant all you want and there will always be someone around here to be happy for you if you need it! Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy x
snowflakepie, Thank you. i am sorry to hear people have been negative to you too. i don't think it matters how old parents are when they have children as long as they can cope and love there children what does it matter? i bet you are a great mum and you little one will love being an big sister im assuming DD means daughter? i am so confused with all these abbreviations... :-/ xxx
It doesn't matter what age you are, or how close your kids are, there will always be someone out there who will struggle to be happy for you for their own reasons.
I'm 40, my baby is planned, but my SIL won't go to any family events I am at because she recently had a mmc and finds my bump too much to cope with. She is 27 so has years to have kids, whereas I have very few, so a small part of me would like her to be able to grit her teeth and force out a pretend smile. Similarly there was a thread on here recently where various (young) posters thought it ok to making sweeping statements about how older women (such as myself) make sh*t parents because we are too over the hill to be able to play with or communicate with children... oh and our kids will get bullied for having an ancient mum. Nice.
So ignore them all, focus on your family, and be happy, because it doesn't matter who you are or what your circumstances there will always be someone who just can't be nice.
Poor you. Just focus on your lovely growing family and ignore the comments of those who can't be happy for you. Age doesn't really come in to it and its not their decision to make. Try and relax and don't let them get you down!
worsestershiresauce I has no idea there were posts like that on here, how awful for you and everyone else to have to read that! I'm sorry. Having had a wonderful childhood growing up with my grandparents as parents (who were in their 60s and 70s at the time) I'm appalled. I had an amazing upbringing, never wanting for anything. Age really shouldn't come into to it - there is no such thing as too young or too old.
I think 18 months is a good gap, me and my older brother have 2 years between us and we grew up playing together and were a good team, most of our friends had similar age gaps so I would say its very normal.
As for your age, I think its a good one if your mature enough and you sound it. I wish I had mine earlier, had first at 30 and pregnant for 2nd time at 37, I am blooming knackered all the time and my age is definetly something to do with that!!
Your building your own wee family, do just do whats right for you and try to ignore the negativity, I know its hard though Im getting some myself for the opposite reasons to yours and im very emotional with the hormones!!
Just wanted to send hugs.
For what it's worth, there's less than two years between my two eldest and while it was hard work at times (as you'd expect) it was worth it. They're very close and play really well together. They have a great relationship.
I will also say that I'm now pregnant with number three and have struggled with feeing really depressed each time. The panic attacks, not leaving the house, not being able to talk to people etc all sound very familiar to me. Perhaps if you carry on feeling so bad, you could look up antenatal depression and maybe talk to your midwife or GP? My midwife is very understanding and just talking to her made me feel better. I also find (though it can be hugely hard to make myself do it) that exercise is good, just leaving the house for a walk really really helps on my bad days.
Anyway, thinking of you.
Thanks to everyone for your comments. I'm afraid i now have more to add i have just found out that my parents have been in contact with one of my sisters who i have fallen out with quite a lot over the years as she has said a lot of nasty things to me in the past and practically said i would be a rubbish mother. i found out they have sent her eldest a birthday present which i find extremely weird as she is nothing to do with them (i am adopted remember) and they havn't seen my daughter-their grandchild!- since May!! in the past when iv argued with mu sister they have stuck up for her when she was the one being nasty! i find it very upsetting that they won't bother with me but talk to my sisters! :-/ also our plug sockets in our house keep packing in and causing our electric to short circuit all the time! grr everything is really getting on top of me i feel like crying i'm sorry for ranting anyway thanks for the comments and i will try and keep my chin up xx
after a good night sleep and a good chat with my partner i am feeling a little better xx
Glad you're feeling a bit better MrsR
Thank you i just need to keep looking on the bright side although a lot of things are still annoying me but it's nothing i can't handle thanks again xxx

WHOA WHOA WHOA (said in Joey Lawrence voice) the weekend is FINALLY here! And do you know what ELSE is here? The Tribeca Film Festival! We're super excited to be bringing you coverage from that, but we're ALSO super excited that this is a solid weekend in general for film screenings! In fact, that's why we've chosen Showgirls as our GIF theme; apart from being the most amazing movie of all time, it's screening at Nitehawk on Friday. #AMAZING So let's get going, yeah?
But FIRST, let me give you three little PSAs:
- We've announced that May's One Step Beyond at the American Natural History Museum is going to be EPIC, featuring Obey City, Falty DL, AND a DJ set from JAMES BLAKE! It's all going down on May 10th at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, so grab tickets now before they're all snapped up.
- Next, we've got a very handy guide to the films screening at the Tribeca Film Festival, which should help lessen the terror induced by the overwhelming lineup.
- Finally, we're co-presenting an AMAZING Robyn-themed party with Silent Drape Runners on Tuesday, and we've got some excellent Robyn swag we want to give to you fo' FREE. All you have to do is harness your intoxicated energy and make a YouTube video or a Vine of you and/or amigos dancing to "Call Your Girlfriend". Regardless, we'll see you Tuesday at The DL for this free phenomenon.
- First up, we've got Ivan & Alyosha (one of our favorites) playing Santos Party House tonight for an unbelievable $10. (We should probably definitely go.)
- SPEAKING of unbelievable, Ava Luna and Lushlife are playing a free show over at the Brooklyn Museum, which is SO ECONOMICAL!
- Of course, if we can scrape together $25, we also might want to consider checking out Olafur Arnalds at Le Poisson Rouge this evening…
- ALTHOUGH, On an On are at the Knitting Factory tonight with Black Onassis for just $12, which is a pretty amazing bargain if I do say so myself.
- Want an even better deal, though? Pop over to Public Assembly for The Mast and Nitemoves, which will set you back a mere $7. UNHEARD OF.
- And while we're on the subject of Public Assembly, let's stick around for Dead Leaf Echo, who are playing a show for just a buck more! #VALUE
- UNLESS we feel like forking over $2 extra at Cameo Gallery for a Maria Minerva EP release show, in which case we should probably do that instead.
- But who wants to spend money when there's a FREE screening of The Birds?! (Answer: NO ONE.) This mega classic is part of the Tribeca Film Festival, and will be held outdoors, meaning it's PERFECT for us to be extra paranoid about the possibility of bird attacks! #FEAR #GREAT
- Speaking of free movies, though, tonight we'll have had four full days of work week frustrations, so let's go get out our aggression at Videology for a complimentary screening of No Holds Barred. (Because WRESTLING and HOGAN KNOWS STUFF OR WHATEVER!)
- Provided we can keep our energy levels up until 11:59pm, I vote we swing by Brooklyn Bowl for ANOTHER amazing edition of French Horn Rebellion's residency there; special guests will include Body Language, members of Savoir Adore and Penguin Prison, etc.!
- OR if we would prefer to trek it out to New Jersey for ANOTHER Muse show this week, then we should PROBABLY consider heading over to IZOD Center.
- Personally, I'd rather hit up a screening of The Fifth Element at Sunshine Cinema. I mean, Bruce Willis, the future, impending doom…what's not to like?
- But HOLD THE EFFING PHONE, 'cause Showgirls is screening at Nitehawk tonight just after midnight, and there is NO WAY we're not going to go watch Nomi fuck shit up. #SOEXCITED #SOEXCITED #SOSCARED
- SPEAKING of Nitehawk, we've ALSO got a screening of Fear and Loathing at 12:20am, so let's get ready to stay up way past our bedtimes with the likes of Johnny Depp.
- Too expensive? There's also a semi-equally amazing FREE screening of Beetlejuice at the World Financial Center Plaza; this one's also part of the Tribeca Film Festival, meaning we get to go sprawl out in the semi-great outdoors to hang w/ Winona Ryder and Alec Baldwin. REJOICE!
- That might be too lowbrow for you, though; instead, let's get intellectual about pot at powerHouse Arena, where they're hosting a book launch for Marijuan-America by Alfred Ryan Nerz! (BECAUSE 4/20!)
- Speaking of books 'n words, let's head on over to Le Poisson Rouge for what's sure to be an entertaining-yet-slightly-uncomfortable presentation of erotic poetry and prose!
- Today let's kick things off on a cultural high note at Nitehawk; F for Fake is screening at noon for brunch, and it will be artsy AND delicious. We won't even feel like we have to do anything productive after such intellectual stimulation! (Thanks, Orson Welles!)
- But HOLD THE PHONE, 'cause it's 4/20, and we most definitely need to spend the entire day snacking at the 1st Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo! There will be spicy eating challenges and plenty of vendors to sample, PLUS it only costs $10 to attend. (AMAZING.)
- UNLESS we prefer our munchies to be slaked with fermented vegetables, in which case maybe we ought to enroll in this Brooklyn Artery class that covers kimchi and sauerkraut basics!
- We could ALSO celebrate with a FREE outdoor screening of Lil Bub & Friendz at World Financial Plaza; the show starts at 6pm, and will be put on by VICE as part of the Tribeca Film Festival HOORAY!
- PLUS we've got a Half Baked day party at Brooklyn Stable, featuring music, live art, people who may or may not be stoned, etc.!
- In terms of ACTUAL spending, it's likely we unloaded most of our money on drunk pizza last night. SO, let's consider a very affordable $12 Light Asylum show during which we can dance off all that residual cheese.
- For even LESS money (read: $2 less) we can catch a TEETH show at Glasslands tonight, and it will be (as always) INCREDIBLE!
- BUT if we're feeling flush tonight, let's hit up a $35 STS9 show at Roseland Ballroom instead; they'll be playing alongside Eliot Lipp. (WOO!)
- ALSO for $35, we've got an Aimee Mann / Ted Leo show at Webster Hall; seeing as Aimee Mann is AWESOME, we should definitely consider this as a serious option.
- Maybe you're more into an eclectic mix of 90s pop gems, though, in which case we should all head over to Union Hall for a very special (brownie?) 4/20 edition of Crazy Since Da 90$. (You know it's EXTRA crazy because of the $…)
- Today let's begin again at Nitehawk; F for Fake is screening for a SECOND time this weekend at noon for brunch, so we should probably go.
- Afterwards we can check out the ol' zine scene over at Public Assembly, where they'll be hosting the 2013 Brooklyn Zine Fest, featuring over eighty writers from 11am-6pm.
- UNLESS we decide to brave day TWO of the 1st Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo, during which we can look forward to a spicy cookie eating challenge, a spicy BROWNIE eating challenge (that would have been more appropriate yesterday, but whatever), AND a spicy Bloody Mary mix downing challenge.
- If we're STILL hungry after all that spice, let's go snag some sweets at this vegan bake sale that's going down at Gristle Tattoo today, yeah? Proceeds will go to BARC! #CALORIESFORCAUSES
- Show-wise, all we have to worry about tonight is a very affordable $5 Drowners album release show at Brooklyn Bowl. (LET'S DO THIS.)
- But I bet we're super hungover, in which case maybe we ought to consider continuing the dark theater hangouts all day during a SECOND screening of The Fifth Element at Sunshine Cinema. (IT'S HAPPENING.)
- Not into Bruce Willis? (WEIRDO!) Okay, we've got a mega classic screening at BAM today, so let's go watch some brats eff up their lives via drinking and scandal in Written on the Wind, yeah? (And then maybe we won't feel so bad about whatever it is we don't remember doing last night.)
- BUT WAIT A MINUTE, 'cause there's a tribute to the works of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti at Le Poisson Rouge featuring music from Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Wild at Heart and MORE!
- If we're feeling particularly artistic today, though, I vote we swing by LaunchPad for a $5 (suggested donation) edition of Drink and Draw in which BYOB is both welcomed and encouraged! #BUDGETBOOZE
- SPEAKING of BYOB, Bat Haus will play host to the Presentation Party tonight, featuring free booze (provided by Brooklyn Brewery) and free snacks (provided by Brooklyn Salsa Co.) in addition to whatever you want to bring on your own. PLUS there will be plenty o' intellectual discussion regarding topics from roller derby to particle astrophysics! #SMART
SO MUCH STUFF! Did I miss anything, though? Well TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT in the comments and/or on Twitter and/or through creative interpretations of the pronunciation of Versace! (Preferably the latter, though.)

KELOWNA–A traffic stop in Kelowna turned up 1.2 kilograms of suspected GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate), also known as the date rape drug.
On March 2, a Kelowna RCMP officer spotted a vehicle being driven in a highly erratic manner south bound on Highway 97 near McCurdy Road.
When the vehicle was pulled over the officer noticed signs of possible drug intoxication. After failing a roadside physical coordination test, the driver was taken to the Kelowna RCMP detachment for additional testing.
A search of the vehicle turned up suspected illegal drugs and brand new un-opened electronics which still had the store security devices attached to them.
The driver, a 40-year-old Penticton man, is facing several charges including impaired operation of a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
His passenger, a 36-year-old woman from Penticton is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of property obtained by crime.

Asher Fulero's 2012 Keyboard Summit
Saturday, March 30, 2012
9 p.m. | $8 | 21+
The Goodfoot
2845 SE Stark Street
More Info: thegoodfoot.com
On March 31, 2012 at The Goodfoot, PDX-based keyboardist Asher Fulero will be staging The 2012 Keyboard Summit, the second year in a row that he has gathered Portland's finest keyboard players, backed by a top-notch band, to show off their chops and improvise together.
Asher Fulero with:
Ben Darwish (Commotion),
Carl Solovox (Solovox, The Nowhere Band),
Steveland Swatkins (Juno What?, Excellent Gentlemen),
Sedell Jones (Liv Warfield),
Dave Fleschner (Curtis Salgado),
Chris Phillips (Philly's Phunkestra, Lawn Boy),
Jeff Baxter (Triclops),
Andrew Oliver (The Kora Band),
Tom Morrison (SP3).
These fine keyboardists will be backed by The Quick & Easy Boys' Jimmy Russell on guitar, Sam Howard (Commotion, SP3) on bass, and Reinhardt Melz (Gino Vanelli) on drums.
Now, what exactly is a Keyboard Summit?
"I had the idea about two years ago," replies Fulero. "When I moved back to Portland in 2000 I rarely found other keyboard players that could really hang besides the longstanding jazz legends or a few touring cats. But over the last twelve years I've seen a marked increase in great local keyboardists, and being that we have large unwieldy instruments we usually end up one-player-to-a-band. I noticed that guitarists, horn players, singers, even drummers get to often play together during sit-ins and jams or collaborations, but that all the great keyboardists I knew rarely got to hang out and even when we did, playing together was extremely rare. Hence, the Keyboard Summit."
Last year Fulero tried it out at The Goodfoot with seven keyboardists and a rhythm section. After getting so much positive feedback Fulero decided to grow it a bit for it's second year, inviting more of his favorite keyboard players onto the event and putting together another backing band to make sure the event was even bigger and better than last year.
"It's a cozy way to get up close and watch Portland's keyboard players go crazy in a maniacal maze of keyboards that takes over the Goodfoot stage," comments Fulero. "I also use some of the white-board conducting skills I picked up from Matt Butler during my years with The Everyone Orchestra, using dry-erase markers and my hands and arms to direct the flow of musical traffic, keeping the groove moving and creating fun changes and hits. It's really great to see the smiles on the players faces as they interact with each other, compare licks, and generally have a ball doing something they never get to do otherwise."

Building 702, Road 1510
PO Box 75315
Al Hidd, Kingdom of Bahrain
The General Organisation of Sea Ports (GOP), the regulator of Bahrain's maritime affairs, today announced that it had taken complete charge of the Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) operations at the Khalifa Bin Salman Port's (KBSP) harbour control tower. This initiative was launched by the GOP in order to help secure coastal surveillance and maintain sovereignty in the Kingdom's surrounding territorial waters.
A complete team of VTMS trained GOP professionals has begun to closely monitor the high performance navigation system to ensure continuous surveillance of vessel movement, compliance of safe navigation regulations and protect the Kingdom's marine environment.
Commenting on the announcement, the Director General of GOP, Hassan Ali Al Majed, said: "As the regulatory and supervisory authority of Bahrain's maritime affairs, we at GOP are committed to improving the efficiency of Bahrain's ports and supervising all maritime activities. Our control of VTMS operations at the state-of-the-art Khalifa Bin Salman Port will help us track live ship positions, closely monitor vessel traffic and movement in the anchorage area and on the main route to KBSP, as well as assist with regulating vessel flow both entering and leaving Bahrain's ports."
The Vessel Traffic Management System is one of the latest cutting-edge technologies installed at the KBSP which helps to improve the safety of vessel traffic, provides information regarding traffic situations during bad weather, regulates maritime traffic flow, improves the planning of vessel berth, anchoring area occupancy and traffic, and tracks violations of navigational rules inside the controlled area, as well as serving several other functions with the help of specially installed radar coverage.
The GOP is committed to demonstrating the professional excellence of the maritime and shipping industry in Bahrain, and offering quality services that meet the increasing needs of users and stakeholders alike. Recently GOP was awarded the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems (QMS) certification for conformity to the highest international standards across in all its activities and across all departments within the organisation.

First lady Michelle Obama to speak Tuesday at Carmichael Arena
Students, faculty, staff and town residents who have yet to get their tickets for First Lady Michelle Obama's speech on campus Tuesday will have another chance today.
Ticket distribution for Michelle Obama's speech at Carmichael Arena will continue today from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Pit.
Doors for the speech open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, but the exact time of the speech will not be revealed for security purposes, said Lauren Hovis, vice president of UNC Young Democrats.
Organizing for America, the grassroots arm of the re-election effort of President Barack Obama, and the UNC Young Democrats are co-sponsoring the event, Hovis said.
Avery Keese, a political science major who received a ticket, said the lines were much shorter to get tickets for Michelle Obama's speech during the weekend than for the president's speech in April.
"It speaks to how important the young educated vote is to the Obama campaign that Obama and the first lady have come to UNC within six months," she said.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has been campaigning in North Carolina, but has not made a trip to UNC's campus.
"I don't think Michelle Obama's visit, or even another visit from the president, will prevent the state from voting for Romney or (Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat) McCrory this election," said Garrett Jacobs, chairman of UNC's College Republicans.
But Obama supporters said Michelle Obama's speech will galvanize a crucial voting bloc for the president.
"We hope that the first lady's speech will really pump students up to go to the polls Thursday for early voting," Hovis said.
Early voting begins on Thursday and will run until Nov. 3.
Students can also register and vote at the same time at Rams Head Dining Hall as part of the one-stop voting process.

Property Tax Cap Needed For Real Relief
ALBANY, 04/27/10 -- Senator James L. Seward (R/C/I-Oneonta) today announced that a Republican-sponsored amendment that would have enacted a property tax cap and provided middle-class taxpayers with relief from soaring property taxes was defeated this week in a party line vote.
"Last year, the state budget, which I opposed, eliminated the STAR rebate check and raised taxes by $8.5 billion to pay for $13 billion in new spending - taxpayers are tapped out," said Senator Seward. "Unfortunately, this week's attempt at restoring some relief was dismissed by out of touch senators."
The property tax cap proposal would prevent school districts in the future from increasing property taxes by more than 2.5 percent, the same as the cap currently being considered in New Jersey and that was enacted in Massachusetts. After the cap was enacted in Massachusetts, the state went from having the 3rd highest property taxes in the nation to the 33rd highest.
The amendment put forth this week would guarantee there would be no increase in taxes at the local level – since last year's CPI is flat, school districts would immediately be limited to keeping their property tax levy lower than last year.
"Families are struggling to stay in their homes and the biggest reason is soaring property taxes," Seward continued. "The property tax cap proposal is a commonsense approach that would provide significant savings for homeowners throughout the 51st district."
The senate first passed a property tax cap with bipartisan support in 2008, but the assembly refused to act on the legislation. Senate Republicans also initiated the STAR rebate checks in 2007 in order to provide relief to struggling homeowners. Last year, Governor Paterson and the legislature eliminated STAR rebate checks for all homeowners, a $400 - $500 loss for average homeowners in the 51st district.
"We need structural reforms that will help control property tax increases and provide mandate relief and cost savings to school districts. That's exactly the type of reform that a property tax cap represents, and that's why I'm fighting for this important measure," Seward concluded.

The lively city of Malaga, on the coast about 80 miles (129km) southeast of Seville, is the gateway to Spain's popular Costa del Sol holiday resort region. The city was also the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, and features several galleries displaying his work. Most notable is the 16th-century Museum of Fine Arts, alongside the Cathedral. Picasso's birthplace in Plaza Merced is open to the public and showcases his life and works.
Like most Andalusian cities, the holiday retreat of Malaga has Moorish roots and its illustrious past has left an imprint on the historic centre, particularly around the fortress of La Alcazaba, dating from 1065, which is now an archaeological museum. The Moorish castle nearby is used as a state hotel. The city's famous botanical garden, sited on the Calle Alameda, dates from the days when the Malaga area was a popular winter holiday resort for the rich and famous, and is also worth a visit.
This area of Spain has been dubbed the "Costa del Golf" due to its 39 courses; year-round sunny weather and low course fees makes a round or two a great option. Bullfights are held during season at the Plaza de la Malagueta. A range of worthy activities beckon from off-shore: scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing are all popular in the warm waters. Beachside tour operators can arrange equipment rental and instruction. The more adventurous tourists in Malaga can take short daytrips to the beautiful beach of Nerja or Motril, while the town of Ronda will provide you with ample opportunity for the perfect holiday pictures of Spain. For those who need a break from the beaches but don't want to venture too far from Malaga, the Museo Picasso Malaga provides for an afternoon well spent; while the Alcazaba on Plaza de Aduana is a walk back in time as it dates back to the towns Moorish roots as well as the early Christian settlers.
Malaga has top-rated restaurants to enjoy while on holiday in this Spanish resort town. Among some of the most highly recommended restaurants in Malaga are Clandestino, La Paloma, El Campanario de Ignacio and El Tintero.
Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol and has the varied, high-quality nightlife to match. Tourists in Malaga need only take their pick from the varied Malaga nightlife scene, which is centred around nightclubs, tapas bars and traditional flamenco performances. Some of the best bars and clubs can be found around Plaza del Merced and Plaza Uncibay, while the areas of Malagueta and Pedragalejo have lively beach bars in summer. A good collection of laid-back bars line Calle Granada and Plaza del Vado del Maestre just off Calle Calderería. For all night Flamenco dancing, tourists and locals alike head to Avenida de los Guindos and Calle Las Lazcano. Malaga also has several theatres, dance troupes and even a resident philharmonic orchestra.
Calle Marques de Larios is the main shopping avenue with plenty of swanky boutiques and galleries, while small, family-run shops can be found on the side streets. Local specialty goods include leather bags and shoes, embroidery, iron work and ceramics. El Corte Ingles, on Avenida de Andalucía, is a multi-story department store stocking everything under one roof. The best food market in town is the eclectic Atarazana, open daily until 2pm.
Malaga's city can be busy and expensive and the beach is unfortunately located next to the main road.

Unlike their namesakes in the wild, the bears in this collection are decidedly sexier. Assembled by noted editor Richard Labonte, these tales will take listeners on a tantalizing tour of a gay subculture that's sweet and raunchy - and sometimes both at once. Written by the most popular authors in the field of queer male erotica, these stories showcase bears and bear-lovers exulting in the pleasures of scruffy beards, hairy chests, burly bodies, and belly-to-belly sex unfettered by social constrictions.

From LEDs and controls to rebates and incentives, lighting presents retailers with a myriad of opportunities for savings. Chain Store Age spoke with Regency Lighting's Judah Regenstreif about lighting trends and the potential for savings, in new stores and existing locations.
What are some of the major trends Regency is seeing in retail lighting?
The biggest trend in lighting right now is LED technology. LED lighting used to be very expensive, but it has reached the point now where the price point, return on investment, color temperature, lumen output and quality are all ready for many retail applications.
As an incentive, EPAct legislation provides tax benefits for switching to energy-efficient lighting. In fact, some legislation has also put efficiency standards in place that make some traditional lighting products obsolete. Additionally, rebates have increased this year from $4.5 billion to $6 billion for switching to LEDs.
What are some of the most common mistakes retailers make when it comes to lighting maintenance?
One of the biggest mistakes a retailer can make is to aim a fixture improperly. It sounds crazy, but pointing a fixture in the right direction can make a huge difference — it will determine whether or not you are lighting your merchandise or lighting an aisle!
Another important consideration is choosing a maintenance company that actually knows and understands lighting. All too often we hear of a maintenance company going into a retail store and/or restaurant and incorrectly installing/replacing fixtures, lamps and ballasts.
Additionally, wattages and Kelvin temperatures (colors) can get mixed up, creating a space that is inconsistent in appearance and that deviates from the original design intent. Regency has an advantage in these cases in that we started off as a lighting distribution company first, developing our expertise specifically in understanding all facets of lighting.
Why is lighting consumption so crucial to retailers' efforts to conserve energy?
For retailers, the majority of their electric bill comes from their HVAC system and their lighting. If you're trying to save electricity, you have to target your lighting usage to be able to save.
If you could give retailers one piece of advice with regard to their lighting, what would it be?
Don't ignore the legacy stores. It's very easy to be focused on new construction and making new stores more energy efficient. But switching to LEDS in just the legacy stores alone can produce savings of seven figures. We use a database of rates and rebates to show our customers where the optimal opportunities are so that their decision to retrofit is strategic and profitable.
Are retailers taking advantage of lighting retrofit opportunities?
We are doing more retrofits every year. The cost of LED technology was too high initially, but over time it decreased drastically. Now the cost of retrofitting has significantly decreased and the quality has significantly improved, which has doubled our number of retrofit customers in the past year.
How is technology impacting lighting?
Within the lighting industry, apart from LEDs, controls seem to be the next great frontier in lighting. I believe the real future is in connecting devices together over the Internet and providing mobile applications to simplify what we do every day — and eventually lighting manufacturers are going to figure that out. I think it's only a matter of time before people find a way to blend all of these new technologies together. The four words that we keep hearing are: connected, mobile, fast and easy. These words embody the focus of where lighting technology is going.
How can Regency help retailers with their lighting needs?
Our whole philosophy is to become a trusted adviser to our clients. We spend a lot of time studying the technical attributes of a product and where it's going so we can provide the best solutions.
Lighting has become increasingly complex, so we understand that it can be confusing. We know that our clients want something that is proven, so we only do business with proven companies and technologies and spend time obsessing about the details so they don't have to. It's important to us that we slow the process down just enough to help our clients make the right choices by answering all of their questions.

I know the 180's are good I just like light and fast. But I will stay with heavy and slow for my 27.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
My love of the Ragnarok Online costume designs once again had me working away on another costume. Champion is my 3rd RO costume, but it's the first time I've looked more to fan art for inspiration than the original designs by Gravity Inc. Also, pants! Yay pants! The official design has the female Champ in a costume very similar the previous job class, the Monk, yet the in game sprite looked different, and to me, more appealing. When I found a handful of fan art images closer to the look of the job sprite I decided to break from religiously following the Gravity design and make the changes I liked most.
The costume consists of a boned corset with gold bias tape sewn by hand above each strip of boning. The inner layer of the corset is denim, the outer layer is red satin. The pants are a really comfortable stretch twill (or something like that) made using a modified Capri pattern. The gold detailing at the knees was made almost entirely by hand so that all the raw edges are self contained within the cuff. The jacket/vest was made from a modified trench coat pattern. The vest completely lined with grey broadcloth, and all the gold trim was sewn by hand. The gloves/arm guards consist of 3 parts. The first part are black Halloween gloves I bought at the dollar store, on top of that are fingerless gloves I made by hand by butchering a commercial glove pattern. The arm guards are red satin and gold piping sewn to pieces and foam and are attached to the gloves using elastic and snaps. The belt is made of black pleather and gold piping and closes in the back with Velcro. The sash was freehanded and the flames are acrylic paint. The only part of this costume I did not make is the big medallion on the belt. It was a gift from my friend Featherweight, who made it during an all night session of How I Met Your Mother in my living room with cardboard I had around the house. The only think I have left to finish are the boots, which will happen eventually.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Overall I'm really proud of how most of the aspect of this costume turned out. Not everything has been perfect, but since I've taken my time on everything instead of rushing like usual, I'm a lot more satisfied with it than many other things I've made. I'm most proud of my gloves. Again, they're not perfect, but I worked incredibly hard to get them as close to the original reference as possible. Also, the pants are really comfortable.

Hi, I had breast implants 4years ago at 400cc high profile. 2 weeks ago I had them downsized to 350cc moderate plus profile. I still feel they have not gone much smaller and am very unhappy with the sze still. I wish to go down even more. I know it has only been 2 weeks however I feel I have fully recovered as I have previously had larger implants. I have no pain and no swelling. Should I wait? Will they get smaller? Please help? I am 155cm tall and 45kg. Thank you
Will 400cc from High Profile to 350cc Moderate Plus, See a Change in Size?
Doctor Answers 2
Will 400cc from High Profile to 350cc Moderate Plus, See a Change in Size?
Unfortunately, I would not expect to see much of a change in breast size with a 50 cc decrease in size in that range of implant size.
Both implants are similar in diameter, and the new one has only about 1 cm less projection than did the previous implant. I would not expect them to get much smaller. You would expect almost no swelling from the implant exchange operation.
Yes, if you are thinking about another operation you should wait. After a few months they may seem satisfactory even if they don't right now.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.
Concerns after Downsizing of Breast Implants?
Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, your plastic surgeon is in a much better position to advise and/or reassure you, given that he/she knows you and your situation best. However, generally speaking, a change of 50 cc of breast implant volume ( despite the change in breast implant profile) will not, for most patients, create a significant change in breast size. For most patients change of 75 mL to 100 mL is necessary, to see a significant change in breast size postoperatively.
At this point, given that you only 2 weeks out of your surgery, you will need to be patient and evaluate the end results of the procedure a few months down the line. At that point, if you still wish to be smaller, then further downsizing of the breast implants may be an option. Careful communication with your plastic surgeon will be a critical step in achieving the results you are looking for. I prefer the use of goal pictures during this communication process.
I hope this helps.

WORST COOKS IN AMERICA - Premiering Sunday, February 17th at 9pm
WORST COOKS IN AMERICA, the primetime Food Network hit that turns kitchen zeroes into kitchen heroes, returns for a fourth season with a rematch between undefeated series champion Anne Burrell and culinary master Bobby Flay. This season's fourteen cooking-challenged contestants are split into two teams, one led by Anne and one by Bobby, for a grueling seven-episode competition designed to turn them into competent cooks. A $25,000 grand prize will be awarded to the winning contestant who has achieved the most successful culinary transformation, along with a victory for their team leader.
Premiering Sunday, February 17th at 9pm -"Worst of the Worst" - SEASON PREMIERE!
In the season premiere, the fourteen recruits, each nominated by family and friends for their horrendous cooking skills, arrive at Boot Camp to find Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay with grocery bags full of food found in the homes of each recruit. They must use their processed, packaged and canned foods to cook a dish displaying the best of their culinary skills at home. After a brutal first tasting, the chefs then select their teams. For their first challenge, the contestants must create a classic meat and potatoes dish, much like you'd find in any classic microwavable meal. The twist? No microwaves. Anne's team will attempt Seared Pork Chop with Grape Sauce while Bobby's team will attempt Tenderloin of Beef in Mushroom, Mustard and Red Wine Sauce. The contestant with the least successful dish on each team is sent home, while the remaining twelve competitors survive to cook another day.
Premiering Sunday, February 24th at 9pm - "Straight Edge Skills"
The remaining recruits wake up to a note from Anne and Bobby saying they are going on a culinary field trip on the high seas. They head to the docks and jump aboard a fishing boat where they meet the ship's captain and his fisherman crew. After catching a few fish, they head to a nearby barge where Anne and Bobby give them a demo in how they will need to cook the fish they just reeled in, including a lesson in the necessity of safe and clean knife cuts. For their skill drill challenge, the recruits will attempt to recreate Crispy Skin Black Sea Bass with an Avocado-Tomatillo-Fennel Relish. The recruits will then use their, hopefully, newly attained knife skills to debone a whole chicken. This main dish challenge is all about using fresh ingredients and the importance of healthy farm-to-table cooking. Anne's recruits will replicate Chicken Scarpiello with Soft Parmigiano Polenta and Bobby's must cook Chicken Chasseur with Creamy Polenta with Gruyere and Parmesan. The two contestants that are the least successful will walk the plank back home.
CHEF WANTED WITH Anne BurrELL - Premiering Thursday, January 31st at 10pm

In season two of Food Network's CHEF WANTED WITH Anne BurrELL, Chef Anne puts four top-level candidates through the ultimate job interview as she tests their culinary chops and business savvy in kitchen challenges that run the gamut. From testing their resourcefulness by creating a delicious dish using only four ingredients, to assessing their ability to pair their own dishes with a signature beer from the restaurant's menu, these chefs are in for The Challenge of their lives.

DETROIT - General Motors (GM) has told dealers to stop selling about 21,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years.
But the company won't say why. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given.
The stop-sale order was first reported Friday by the trade publication Automotive News.
The order covers Cruzes equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. Spokesman Alan Adler said Friday it includes about one-third of the Cruzes on dealer lots across the nation. At the end of February, GM had 63,714 Cruzes in dealer stock, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank.
The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags.
GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths.
A congressional committee this week began sifting through documents from GM amid allegations that the car manufacturer took too long to order the recall. The company also faces numerous lawsuits related to the faulty ignition switches.
GM chief executive Mary Barra is scheduled to address lawmakers next week to answer questions about the car giant's internal handling of the ignition switch problem.
"We need to find out when GM knew, why they didn't inform the public, and what they intend to do to make sure all of the cars that are on the road are safe to drive," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., the ranking member of the House committee investigating GM's recall, on Friday. "GM has said the cars are safe if drivers remove everything from their key rings. It will take until October to fix all the recalled cars."
Barra has previously apologized for GM's slow response to the defects, admitting that GM took too long to issue the recall.
"I am very sorry for the loss of life that occurred, and we will take every step to make sure this never happens again," she told reporters earlier this month.
GM shares were up roughly 1 percent, to $34.88, in early afternoon trading.

Roasted Potatoes, Peppers and Onions
Serves 4
This is a dish that I learned from Italian friends. I had forgotten about it until I saw a similar recipe. I am glad it is back because it is such an easy and delicious vegetable side dish. You can substitute other herbs and, if desired, use just one type of bell pepper. As with most vegetables that are roasted with olive oil, it is equally good hot, warm or room temperature, so it makes a great side dish for a family meal or for a potluck event.
- 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut into about 1-inch pieces (see notes below)
- 1 medium onion, chopped into about 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into about 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into about 1-inch pieces
- 4 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 400° F. Place all of the vegetables on a large baking sheet or shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with the herbs, salt and pepper. Drizzle with the oil, then toss well to combine. Spread into one layer. Roast until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
Notes: I use Yukon gold potatoes for most of my recipes. My second choice for this recipe would be any waxy or boiling potato. However, if you prefer the texture of russet baking potatoes then, by all means, use them.
