Palisade hoping to build on football tradition starting Friday against Woodland Park
Palisade at Woodland Park, Friday, 7 p.m.
Focus: Palisade begins the season trekking nearly five hours to take on the Panthers.
Woodland Park finished the season 6-5 last season but returns its quarterback, Lee Stunkard, and running back Jordan Buss in a shotgun formation heavy offense. Arledge said the Panthers try to get to the edge and use their speed. Although the Bulldogs' defense will be tested, Palisade controlled last year's game on the ground rushing for 250 yards and four touchdowns. The Bulldogs again will rely on controlling the time of possession with a tough running game.
Area of Concern: For both teams, the first week comes down to who makes fewer mistakes. The keys to this game will be turnovers and penalties.
Outlook: "We are trying to be as sharp as we can. The reality is, it's hard to be sharp. Both teams will have some sloppiness but we are looking to take care of the ball." — Palisade coach John Arledge.
"Palisade is a great football program. We will have to be sound at everything we do." — Woodland Park coach Brent Cottrell.
Next Week: Palisade is home against Pueblo County.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Given this scenario, it may be very difficult to get a court to order child support. In a situation where both parents live with the child, courts generally find that child support is not appropriate because the parents automatically support the child. If you were to file in this circumstances, it is possible that a judge may just look at this as an attempt to interfere in the other child's child support proceeding. You do not have to file for child support to get the court to acknowledge that he is supporting more than one child and to have that accounted for in the proceeding.

JD Wetherspoon, as founder Tim Martin likes to boast, was the first pub company to introduce no-smoking areas, the first to ban smoking and the first to serve food all day. It is also (probably) the first to offer no explanation for why two of its executive directors are leaving on the same day.
In the absence of facts, we must assume an almighty row prompted the departure of Keith Down, finance director, and Paul Harbottle, chief operating officer. But what was the quarrel? Analysts suggest that it was linked to the cost of opening the pubs early to serve coffee and breakfast, another Wetherspoon innovation. But it's a guess.
Martin has proved over the years that he knows more about running pubs than any of his rivals, especially the debt junkies in charge of the huge pubcos. So shareholders may take a relaxed view of the drama. If Martin was arguing that long-term investment should take priority over a short-term boost to margins, most investors would back his judgment.
But that doesn't excuse the lack of a proper explanation. Martin owns 23% of the shares but he is still obliged to tell owners of the other 77% what the hell is going on.

Isobel - This spelling makes me think of a New Age-y sort of woman, with long dark hair and a dreamy personality.
Natalie "Nat" - I imagine a bookish young lady, who's soft-spoken and pleasant, but also brooks no nonsense.
Kaitlin and Ashlyne - Both make me think of blonde, cheerleader types.
Faye - A middle-aged mother from the South, with kind eyes.
Ellie - Young child, under ten, with a mischievous personality and auburn hair.

Some of those are pretty close to how I imagine the characters, might do some changing but thanks so much for the reply much appreciated.
May 17th, 2012 12:35 AM #7
Isobel - The semi-popular girl who gets along with everyone. Not catty like the super popular girls, maybe a little offbeat but wanting to fit in.
Natalie 'Nat' - I picture someone sporty and tomboyish, with brown hair and eyes, maybe freckles?
Kaitlin - this is my name, and all the people I've known named Kaitlin (this spelling) have been quiet, sensitive, artistic types so I imagine someone like that. Light brown or blonde hair, blue eyes.
Faye - Someone very dreamy and intuitive. Definitely petite with a light color eye, maybe green or grey.
Ashlyne - Preppy, overdramatic, somebody who's definitely trying to hard to fit in with the popular crowd. Like a poorer kid wearing designer knockoffs to fit in kind of thing.
Ellie - Hyperactive and spunky, somewhat dramatic but also insanely smart. Like an everyday mad genius. Brown or red hair, brown eyes.

Isobel- Possibly from another country. Dark brown - almost black hair. Olive skin. Thick accent. Sweet, but often misunderstood due to her broken english. Escaped her old country's/town's (maybe Macedonia) poverty and is trying to make a modest life in America/ UK. Maybe as a nurse?
Natalie 'Nat'- Bookworm. Marches to her own beat. When she attended school she performed in all of the plays and musicals. Very gifted in the performing arts.
Kaitlin- Young and pretty. Blonde hair and green eyes. Makes poor decisions, but with the help of her family and friends she is trying to get back on the right path.
Faye- Kaitlin's mother/guardian, or someone that Kaitlin looks up to as a role model. In her mid 40's, she is a smart and independent woman. Not married and not necessarily looking for marriage (but I do picture her finding love). She is starting to age, but is clearly attractive. I picture her working in a setting with teenagers/young adults. Perhaps at a hospital, or psychology type office
Ashlyne- friends with Kaitlin but drifting away. She is responsible for persuading Kaitlin to make bad decisions. She is around 21. She is wild and spontaneous. Wears heavy eye and lip makeup. Curly blonde hair with dark roots. She doesn't exactly have "one" boyfriend, but many casual male friends.
Ellie- Another young adult, or maybe even a teenager: 15-19. Has mental issues but really is caring underneath it all. Dark brown glossy hair. She likes to wear boho headbands (the kind that go around one's forehead), yoga pants/spandex, and simple tees with a long glitzy vests. She can very fun until she has a breakdown. Then she will destroy her surroundings until exhausted and just cry.
Sorry, when I think about a name I tend to get strong images and stories. Then I try to link every character together lol.

Classic dishes bring Italy's culinary acclaim to the City of Water, featuring savory cicheti, fresh seafood and rich gelati.
Visitors have long been enthralled by Venice's floating palaces and fabulous art. But its seafood-rich lagoon and garden islands also provide a taste of Venetian life – from cicheti (tapas) and fish dishes to rich, creamy gelati.
Best for seafood
Alongside the Rialto fish market, deli-diner Pronto Pesce specialises in crudi (Venetian-style sushi) and seafood salads. Grab a stool and a glass of wine with folpetti (baby octopus) salad, or enjoy yours dockside along the Grand Canal. Saturday lunchtimes are all about the much-lauded fish risotto (Rialto Pescheria, San Polo 319; closed Sun & Mon; fish salads from £7).
Neighbourhood restaurant Ristorante Ai Do Farai in Dorsoduro was once one of the oldest wine bars in Venice; now a small restaurant, regulars pack into the wood-panelled room hung with football scarves. Try the tris di saor sarde, scampi e sogliole (sardines, prawns and sole in a tangy marinade) or the tasty pasta with clams, mussels and prawns (00 39 041 277 03 69; Calle del Cappeller, Dorsoduro 3278; closed Sun; mains from £15).
Take the vaporetto to Mazzorbo – a garden island that's home to small hotel and Michelin-starred restaurant Venissa. Chef Paola Budel creates magical dishes with produce from the lagoon, such as a single roasted scallop on a black espresso reduction, or a main of minuscule whole octopi served on fava bean purée. Sit out on the patio overlooking the vineyard (Fondamenta di Santa Carerina 3; closed Mon and Dec–Feb; meals from £50).
Best for cicheti
Francesco and his son Matteo of All'Arco invent Venice's best cicheti with Rialto market finds. On Mondays when the pescaria is closed, Francesco might wrap asparagus in rare beef with mustard; when Saturday's seafood haul arrives, Matteo might create tuna tartare with strawberries and balsamic (00 39 041 520 56 66; Calle Arco, San Polo 436; closed Sun and Jul & Aug; cicheti from £1.20).
The zemei (twins) who run Ostaria Dai Zemei in San Polo create small meals with outsized imagination: octopus salad with marinated rocket, duck breast drizzled with truffle oil, and crostini loaded with radicchio, speck and gorgonzola. Arrive early, grab a stool and consult the twin gourmet masterminds Giovanni and Franco for ideal wine pairings (Ruga Vecchia San Giovanni, San Polo 1045b; closed Tues; cicheti from £1.50).
You could make several trips a day to café-bar Zenzero, one of the best quick eats in Venice. Start with a super-strength espresso with a freshly baked pastry – the profiteroles are good – lunch on filling cicheti such as fresh-baked wholegrain croissants with mortadella and pistachio salsa, and return at sundown for an aperitivo in the square (Campo Santa Marina, Castello 5902a; closed Sat eve and Sun; sandwiches from £1.60).
Best for gelato
Off the beaten track in Santa Croce, the hole-in-the-wall Alaska Gelateria sells organic gelato in gourmet flavours invented on site by owner Carlo Pistacchi. These include cinnamon, fig, tangy Sicilian lemon, artichoke and the popular house-roasted local pistachio (00 39 0 41 71 52 11; Calle Larga dei Bari, Santa Croce 1159; 12pm–8pm daily; gelato from 80p).
With three branches in Venice, outlets throughout Italy and stores in the US and Japan, Grom's philosophy for using seasonal, Fairtrade ingredients has made it famous. Choose from flavours such as bacio (chocolate with hazelnuts), tiramisu, granita siciliana (slushy ice), or the flavour of the month, which ranges from mango to panettone (Strada Nuova, Cannaregio 3844; 11am–11pm daily; from £2).
At some point in Venice you'll find yourself wedged among the throngs at Rialto Bridge – beat an escape to Gelateria Suso for locally made creamy gelato. The signature 'doge' – mascarpone laced with fig sauce and chocolate-covered almonds – has restorative powers. Otherwise, a cone of hazelnut and dark chocolate could easily pass for dinner (Calle della Bissa, San Marco 5453; 10am–10pm daily; from £1.60).
Marco Polo airport, seven miles from Venice, is served by BA, easyJet, Jet2, Monarch and Thomson Airways, from eight UK airports (from £80 from Gatwick). Ryanair flies from Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds and Stansted to Treviso, an hour from Venice (from £70). Bus services link both airports with Venice's Piazzale Roma (singles £5). The Alilaguna ferry runs from Marco Polo airport (singles £12) and ATVO's Eurobus connects to Treviso (singles £6). The city's main public transport is the vaporetto (singles £5, 24-hour ticket £16).
Where to stay
19th-century Palazzo Soderini has minimalist décor and is a welcome reprieve from the visual onslaught of Venice. Take breakfast in the pretty internal courtyard (Campo di Bandiera e Moro, Castello 3611; from £65).
The opulence of four-star Palazzo Abadessa is befitting of a 16th-century palace. Rooms are furnished with antiques and Murano glass lamps. Large rooms have frescoed ceilings and canal views (Calle Priuli, Cannaregio 4011; from £120).
Palazzo Barbarigo is Venice's splashiest design hotel. The 18 rooms get modern, low-key luxury just right, with sumptuous velvets and curvaceous furniture. Breakfast is a real treat (Canal Grande, San Polo 2765; from £200).
The article 'Mini guide to eating in Venice' was published in partnership with Lonely Planet Traveller.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
i love it!
I loved it all the way through, best part was from 3:00 onwards! :D
lol glad you liked that :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great Work.
The repetitive drums dont help the begging but as soon as the melody drops you dont notice it as much. Very Genious to recreate this song. Look forward to more of your work.
Latest is Everything in a evening if you want to check it out ;)
Thanks for your review
Rated 4 / 5 stars
the songs alright
The really repetitive drums got old quickly, plus they just really didn't sound that great in my opinion. The rest of the song is pretty good though. It could have used bass though.
yeah you're definitely right ehe
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very cool
I was honestly hoping for lyrics, but this was just as satisfying. What instrument comes in at 1:40? It makes it sound a little MIDI'ish, but maybe that was your intention. Either way, amazing job dude!
it's a prett midish violin lol
Thanks man ;)

BWW Reviews: ARB's ROMEO AND JULIET is Majestic at The State Theatre
American Repertory Ballet (ARB) performed a spectacular production of Romeo and Juliet at the State Theatre in New Brunswick on Friday night to a full house. Dance enthusiasts of all ages attended the show. Choreographed by their Artistic Director Douglas Martin, the evening showcased the talents of New Jersey's preeminent ballet company and provided the audience with the thrill of seeing this exquisite show elaborately staged. With costume design by Michele Ferranti, the show was breathtaking from the very first moment.
The Rutgers Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kynan Johns, performed Sergei Prokofiev's beautiful score flawlessly and proved to be a splendid collaboration with the ARB.
Based on the play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet is the story of strong family bonds, romance, bitter differences, and tragic, untimely deaths; ARB's portrayal of the beauty and the drama of this classic was impeccable. Martin's intricate choreographies gave full life to the story and his company performed their roles seamlessly to relate the plot with complete clarity. Martin himself participated in the cast as Lord Capulet.
Mattia Pallozzi starred as the robust and romantic Romeo and Karen Leslie Moscato as the very delicate Juliet; they were the ideal pairing of the couple whose joys and trials captured the imagination of the audience. Juliet's Balcony scene with Romeo is the pas de deux that will long be remembered by the State Theatre audience.
Portrayals of the House of Montague, the House of Capulet and the Ball were stunning with the dancers in full control of their artistry. This talented company is a gem in New Jersey and the ARB is poised to continue this season with performances to delight metropolitan area audiences.
The American Repertory Ballet has performances in October including their American Artist Showcase at The Hamilton Stage in Rahway and Premieres at Raritan Valley Community College. The Nutcracker Suite will have multiple performances in locations throughout New Jersey. For information and ticketing, visit their web site, www.americanrepertoryballet.org.

Smart meters are no doubt the way of the future. The efficiencies they bring to water distribution make widespread implementation all but inevitable. However, as with any advanced technology (especially in the water industry), there are bound to be starts and stops along the way.
Practical reasons for waiting on smart meters, such as financial or logistical challenges, are understandable. On the other hand, there are certain misconceptions that make hesitation unwarranted. I asked Chris King, global chief regulatory officer of Siemens AG's Smart Grid Services, to help dispel the most prevalent of these false notions.
A 30-year industry veteran and chair of the Smart Energy Demand Coalition, King's expertise was recognized when he testified before the U.S. Congress on grid modernization. Here he offers his "4 big myths" about smart grids in the water space:
1. Smart meters cost more.
In truth, when all the benefits are added up, they exceed the total costs. The basic criterion followed by regulators is to approve smart meter projects only when the total benefits exceed the total costs.
2. Only the utility benefits from smart meters.
Yes, utilities do benefit through lower costs of reading meters, improved meter accuracy, greater efficiency in dispatching their work forces, identifying water losses in the grid, and other ways. However…
Consumers get even greater benefits than do utilities. First, utilities pass through to consumers many of the savings they realize, as part of the ongoing regulatory and rate-setting process. More importantly, consumers benefit through having more information about their usage, which leads to lower water consumption — typically 5 to 10 percent over time. Also, consumers receive better service: estimated bills are eliminated, and utilities with smart meters can send alerts to consumers when utilities see ongoing water leaks or when the monthly-bill-to-date exceeds a consumer-set threshold.
4. Smart meters emit dangerous RF radiation.
Over 300 million radiofrequency (RF) meters, including gas and electric, are in operation around the world, going back over two decades. For all those meters and in all those years, not a single case of medical harm has been documented. Numerous government health agencies and scientific organizations around the world — including the National Academy of Sciences — have studied this subject in depth and have concluded that there is no concern for health risk. (See also: "Are Smart Meters Hazardous To Public Health?")
5. Smart meters invade consumer privacy.
The reality is that smart meters record water consumption more frequently — for example daily or hourly — but the meters do not have any more information about the consumer's premise or activity. In addition, regulators place strong restrictions on the use of smart meter data; for example, utilities cannot provide the data to a third party without a consumer's permission.
(For more on meters, visit Water Online's AMR, AMI, and Metering Solution Center.)

It's another week, another round of travel scams. Here's what's happening and how you can protect yourself. With people thinking about summer travel, would-be scammers are looking for their next victims.
The Better Business Bureau has reports of mailings claiming that you've won two free round-trip airline tickets.
They use fake airline names that sound like the real thing, with a legitimate-looking logo. Ever flown on United Airways? How about US Airlines? No, neither have I.
The letter will tell you to call an 800 number to redeem your prize. Once you get on the phone, you know what happens…someone at the other end will want a deposit, your personal information, or will give you a high-pressure sales pitch.
Look at the fine print closely and remember this rule of thumb: Airlines are in the business of making money, not giving seats away.
The websites Scambook and the Consumerist both track travel scams, so check their archives—a lot of travel scams have been around in some shape or form for years.
For more information, read our recent tip on the Southwest Ticket Scam.

Macklemore Mad at Oklahoma City Thunder
As a Mavericks fan I already hate the Thunder, so I am naturally taking Macklemore's side.
As some of you may not know the Oklahoma City Thunder used to be the Seattle Supersonics. In 2008 the Supersonics left Seattle leaving many fans distraught. I am sure its not helping seeing how well the Thunder are doing as well. Macklemore is a Seattle native and he found out before Thunder games they are playing his new song "Can't Hold Us".
Don't know if the Thunder will stop playing the song, but they are losing to Memphis by one game right now. Maybe get the guy with the number one song in the country on your side, but if he is a true Supersonics fan he is rooting for the Grizzlies.

Skip to comments.Hoarded Ducks See Water For The First Time
Posted on 10/07/2012 6:40:16 AM PDT by navysealdad
These ducks rescued in a hoarding case had never swam in the wet stuff before, so when they were led to their first pond, all didn't go quite as planned. In a flash, instinct overcame fear as first one duck then another realizes this is where they truly belonged. Within minutes, the exuberant ducks are taking the bath of their lives and gleefully loving every minute of it.

Cute. Thanks for posting.
Dives right in and drinks repeatedly
...or the US Financial Market after Obama leaves office. Everyone diving in again.
Aw, you gotta see this!
This is priceless!
More here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2213784/Not-quite-like-ducks-water-Watch-moment-neglected-ducks-water-time—forced-in.html
This is the way ducks act when stupid humans try to force them to do something. Shortly thereafter the nice little pond is filthy and stinking with duck poop and mud they stir up.
You also think its hoarding to raise them in a pen for food? You oughta see the millions of ducks "hoarded" in Asia that never get in the water until its time to clean up for the roaster.
Idiots at the new place didn't have to scare the new ducks half to death by shooing and throwing them into the pond. The ducks would have found the water on their own without being terrorized.
And the reason you are attacking ME is...
Looks to me like a bunch of OWS-types occupied somebody's farm and wanted to make pets out of Sunday dinner.
Reminds me of a great story about an Italian widow in the Middle Ages. Very proper, and got a good marriage for her daughter. When the groom didn't ask for his bride after the wedding night she had him come to speak with her. He told her that he thought nothing of the talk about widows until his bride showed so much enthusiasm during their wedding night.
She took him to the barn and took up a newly hatched duckling then threw it in the water. It swam quite easily.
He took the lesson to heart and called for his wife.
That quacked me up!

Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., the White House budget director, said today that he regretted the way he had characterized New York's efforts to wring money from Washington to help it rebuild from the attack on the World Trade Center.
On Monday, Mr. Daniels bristled at the intense lobbying campaign New York lawmakers are waging to secure additional federal aid from the Bush administration, saying, in part, ''It seems strange to me to treat this as a money-grubbing game.''
But this afternoon, with criticism mounting, Mr. Daniels acknowledged that his words were ''poorly chosen,'' and he sought to affirm the administration's commitment to fulfilling the president's pledge to provide $20 billion for rebuilding New York.
Mr. Daniels also tried to quell another storm he provoked on Monday, when he seemed to suggest that the administration intended to count roughly $5 billion in federal benefits for victims of the attack against the president's $20 billion pledge.
Today, he clarified the administration's position, saying that it does not intend to count the victims' compensation awards as part of the emergency aid. (The White House budget office had already said as much on Monday, only hours after Mr. Daniels drew fire from New York lawmakers with his initial comments on the subject.)Continue reading the main story
Mr. Daniels offered his latest remarks during a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, where he was grilled by Democratic lawmakers who were opposed to many of the provisions in the president's $2.13 trillion budget request.
''I remember Winston Churchill once said that he frequently had to eat his words and generally found it a wholesome diet, so maybe I am in that position,'' he said during questioning by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York's junior senator.
''I regret if my comment was misconstrued,'' Mr. Daniels continued. ''So let me tell you exactly what I think, and I think it is consistent with your views. I mean the president's commitment to $20 billion is both inviolate and frankly well within our view.''
Mrs. Clinton made her displeasure with his comments known. ''I have to tell you that we were shocked by that and the shock was felt throughout New York,'' she said. ''Clearly we all recognize that the Sept. 11 attacks on New York were an attack on America.''
For all his efforts to set the record straight, Mr. Daniels seemed unable to escape the controversy stirred by his initial comments. At one point, he became obviously frustrated and angry when reporters pressed him for further explanations after the hearing. ''Is English O.K., or would Spanish be more plain?'' he snapped.
Mr. Daniels's mea culpa did little to mollify New York lawmakers, whose dismay extended far beyond the comments Mr. Daniels made on Monday. Many lawmakers today reiterated their frustration -- and even anger -- with the administration's failure to include any money for the rebuilding effort in New York in the budget request.
''What would be the best outcome here is not a simple apology but also a real effort to help New York,'' said Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat and New York's senior senator. ''The bottom line for New Yorkers is, are they going to come through for us?''
Some lawmakers, increasingly concerned that the city's plight may be eclipsed by the growing nationwide demand for federal money in a time of budget deficits, pressed the White House to spell out a timetable for delivering the aid to New York. To date, the administration and Congress have agreed to provide about $11.1 billion for New York's recovery.
''The president promised the money, and Mitch Daniels said that it's on its way,'' said Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, a Manhattan Democrat. ''Is it too much to ask for a timetable for when we'll see it? Or will we keep hearing, 'The check is in the mail'?''
Mr. Daniels today seemed to reiterate the White House's position that the money will be disbursed over time, as reconstruction in Lower Manhattan proceeds.
He said some rebuilding projects ''will in many cases take years to complete, and we won't know the real tally until that happens.''
But that did not satisfy some New York lawmakers, who said that they would force the issue in Congress, perhaps by trying to tuck money for New York into an emergency spending bill that the Pentagon is expected to request in the coming weeks to pay for the war in Afghanistan.
''Rebuilding New York is part of the war on terrorism,'' said Representative John E. Sweeney, a Republican from upstate New York who sits on the House Appropriations Committee. ''I think we need the money sooner rather than later.''Continue reading the main story

(CBS/AP) HARRISBURG, Pa. - Mike McQueary, the Penn State football assistant whose report of Jerry Sandusky allegedly attacking a child in the showers led to Joe Paterno's firing, said in a court filing Tuesday that he is suing the school.
Pictures: Child-sex scandal rocks Penn State
The "writ of summons" filed by Mike McQueary's lawyer described it as a whistle-blower case, but the brief document was not accompanied by a full complaint that would lay out the allegations.
McQueary's attorney, Elliott Strokoff of Harrisburg, did not respond to a phone message at his office late Tuesday. His father, John McQueary, declined to comment on his behalf.
McQueary, then a graduate assistant, has said he complained to Paterno of seeing the boy in a locker room shower naked with Sandusky. Originally, prosecutors reported that the date of the alleged assault was March 1, 2002, but this week the state filed papers indicating they now believe it took place on Feb. 9, 2001.
McQueary testified in December that he believed Sandusky was molesting the boy and "having some type of sexual intercourse with him," but added he was not "100 percent" certain they were having intercourse because of his vantage point.
Penn State's trustees have said they fired Paterno as coach partly because of his response to the incident. Paterno reported the matter to administrators Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, which trustees have called "his minimum legal duty" and "a failure of leadership." Paterno was fired as coach in November and died in January of lung cancer.
McQueary, who was a receivers coach, was placed on paid administrative leave by the school after the three men were arrested in November. All three have pleaded not guilty.
Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre said school officials were unable to comment because they had not seen the complaint.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Netflix (NFLX) were down as high beta names on the Nasdaq continued to take a pounding Monday. Tesla (TSLA), Twitter (TWTR), eBay (EBAY) and Facebook (FB) were all hit hard in early trading Monday. The Nasdaq is down 1.7%.
Netflix shares were down 8.6% to $371.20 in mid-Monday trade.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Activist investor Carl Icahn went on television and noted he had sold about half his shares in the video streaming company. In an interview with CNBC, Icahn stated, "We still have a position. But I did sell a fair percentage of our holdings. I think Netflix is a great company. They got a great model. When we bought it, it was $58. It's not $58 anymore. I don't have it in front of me. I think I sold half. And I think it's a great company, and we've got a great CEO there in Reed Hastings. But hey, all these companies, you don't go to the sky."
Icahn cited Federal Reserve intervention in what he deemed an "artificial market" for his lack of temerity in the stock. "One of our problems is the Federal Reserve. This is kind of an artificial market, isn't it? I mean, you have the Fed pumping and pumping the money in. I don't see the great earnings we should be having. How much can Janet Yellen keep doing?"
Net nuetrality concerns may also be hurting Netflix today. In a note published last week Hastings wrote that "The essence of net neutrality is that ISPs such as AT&T (T) and Comcast (CMCSA) don't restrict, influence or otherwise meddle with the choices consumers make. The traditional form of net neutrality which was recently overturned by a Verizon lawsuit is important, but insufficient."
Netflix -- which recently signed a deal with Comcast that would allow the streaming service unimpeded access to the cable and internet provider's network-- says that it is weary of signing similar deals with other service providers in the future. "Without strong net neutrality, big ISPs can demand potentially escalating fees for the interconnection required to deliver high quality service. The big ISPs can make these demands -- driving up costs and prices for everyone else -- because of their market position."
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple (AAPL) and Comcast are working on a similar deal for Apple's nascent Apple TV streaming service. Details of the arrangement have not been finalized or announced but a potential deal would add direct competition to Netflix services.

BlackBerry No Longer Smartphone Leader for Businesses, Enterprise Prefers iPhone

Sender E-mail
(Source: marccus.net)
For 2011 so far, BlackBerry has 32.2 percent of the business market while iPhone has 45 percent
BlackBerry phones
have been known for their business use, but a new survey indicates that this is no longer the case. The new business smartphone of choice is the iPhone.
The survey was conducted by enterprise mobility provider iPass, which obtained a quarterly Mobile Workforce Report from 2,300 enterprise workers.
According to iPass' results, BlackBerry has slipped to second place in the business realm. Only 32.2 percent of the mobile worker market consists of BlackBerry phones while 45 percent of this market uses the iPhone.
Last year, BlackBerry had 34.5 percent of the mobile worker market while the iPhone only had 31 percent.
Creeping up behind the iPhone are Android-powered devices. In 2010, Android only had 11.3 percent of the business market, but this year, it climbed considerably to 21.3 percent.
Nokia sits at fourth place with only 7.4 percent of the enterprise market. Last year, it was at 12.4 percent.
Overall, 95 percent of mobile workers currently use smartphones, and of this 95 percent, 91 percent use their smartphone for work. These numbers have increased from 85 percent and 69 percent respectively in 2010.
BlackBerry's fall to second place may not seem too surprising to some. Just last month, Research In Motion (RIM), developer of BlackBerry devices, experienced a
four-day outage
that left many around the world without BlackBerry services. This affected many mobile workers who depend on these services to keep their businesses running. The outage started in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa, then spread to North America, Canada and Latin America.
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

China is set to replace the United States as Peru's biggest trade partner.
In the first seven months of the year, Peru's exports to China grew by 30 percent, reported state news agency Andina.
The Chinese demand for raw materials — including copper, zinc and lead — fuels much of the demand for Peruvian products.
But Jorge Chian, the economic and trade adviser at Peru's Embassy in Beijing, said Peru is also exporting non-traditional products, such as fishmeal and natural dyes.
Trade between the two countries to expected to grow to more than $13 billion dollars, the news agency reported.
Read more on the growing Chinese presence in Latin America:
- Why is China investing billions in the Caribbean?: The Caribbean lacks commodities, it's not a major producer of raw materials and it has relatively little buying power. Yet China is spending big there.
- Chopstick diplomacy in Chile: Chinese restaurants are popping up in Santiago as China quietly wields its soft power by promoting Chinese food.
- Can a land route rival the Panama Canal?: China and Colombia are talking about building 250 miles of railroad to link Colombia's Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
- China's Brazilian shopping spree: While Chinese investors spent the last decade buying up natural resources across Africa, this year they've begun an unprecedented shopping spree in Brazil.

Tigers escape Boston College 24-14
Sun, 13 Oct 2013 05:03:39 GMT —
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- It's time for No. 3 Clemson's second showdown this season. And this one is even bigger than the first.
Six weeks after defeating then fifth-ranked Georgia to start the season, the Tigers and Tajh Boyd put together a fourth-quarter comeback to defeat Boston College that kept them on course for next week's Atlantic Coast Conference contest with No. 6 Florida State.
"I'll definitely be watching," Boston College receiver Alex Amidon said.
Amidon and the Eagles (3-3, 1-2 ACC) nearly spoiled the party, keeping the Tigers out of synch offensively and using big plays to carry a 14-10 lead into the final period. That's when the Tigers (6-0, 4-0) fought back, Boyd's 6-yard TD run with 13:44 left putting them ahead for good.
National sack leader Vic Beasley sealed things a few moments later when he scooped up Chase Rettig's fumble and took it 13 yards for a touchdown. The Boston College quarterback coughed up the ball after a big hit by linebacker Tony Steward.
Clemson held on to start 6-0 for the second time in three years.
"If you want to be a good team, you have to win games like this," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "We kept fighting and overcame mistakes."

Edmonton Oilers D-man Andrew Ference an elite athlete whose love of community is anything but
What does he know of hockey, who only hockey knows? — paraphrasing C.L.R. James
Three days after Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins joined a pre-dawn fitness "flash mob" led by Andrew Ference, the veteran defenceman skated through his coach's baseline endurance test with the rest of his teammates as training camp began in earnest at Millennium Place.
"His was good," the 34-year-old Ference said of the high-tech stops-and-starts session first-year NHL head man Eakins opened camp with. "I think his excludes a lot of people that mine doesn't."
Ference scores high on the core value of inclusion, whether it's leading average citizens in early-morning sessions running stairs, doing pushups and jumping jacks, educating other NHL players in how to minimize their 'carbon footprint,' or being part of a cohesive, successful professional hockey team.
It's a key reason he is one of a cluster of strong candidates — including Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner — for the Oilers captaincy, vacated when longtime captain Shawn Horcoff was traded to Dallas in the off-season. Not that he's fixated on that outcome.
"You spend enough time on teams that are successful, you realize that it's an honour to have letters on your jersey, but — it sounds a bit cliché — but it's a group leadership thing that successful teams have," Ference said. "Never should that elevate you to a different level of having more of a voice in the room, or your opinion being anymore important.
"The most effective teams I've been on have had input from the fourth-line guys, from the young guys, from the old guys, from the coach. And they're listened to and respected."
Thoughtful man, Mr. Ference. On a variety of issues, hockey- and non-hockey-related.
Ference spoke eloquently about the intervention by Brian Burke, the Calgary Flames new president of hockey operations, in the ongoing international debate over the anti-gay propaganda law passed in Russia in June, for example.
Burke, whose late son Brendan, was gay, has been a passionate voice for gay rights, as his son, Patrick, who helped found the You Can Play charity that champions gay rights in sport.
Sports Illustrated recently published Brian Burke's powerful denunciation of what is happening in President Vladimir Putin's Russia, less than six months away from the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Ference believes the overarching hockey family has become more socially aware in recent years, partly as a reflection of changes in society, partly owing to the leadership of people like the Burkes.
"You know, personalities have changed, and the league has changed and the world has changed," Ference said. "The new crop that does come in every single year, when you're bringing in young guys, they're not the same as guys 20 years ago.
"And that's not to put any blame on the guy, that's just the world they grew up in. Now, I think guys are growing up in a world in which it's wrong to exclude people. And you're growing up with friends that are open about being gay or lesbian.
"And that's normal. I look at my own daughters and her school in Boston. In her class alone, she had, I think, three same-sex couple parents. So, that's the world they grow up in.
"So, how could they ever see that as right to exclude those people?"
@Ferknuckle – we are so very proud to have you as an Oiler. Thank you for taking a stand for LGBT and human rights. @EdmontonOilers — Dr. Kristopher Wells (@KristopherWells) September 12, 2013
Ference cares about community, obviously. He has made thoughtful contributions wherever he has played, including his work with the NHL Players' Association's Carbon Neutral Challenge, a project born of conversations he had with environmentalist David Suzuki, his mentor on such issues.
In Boston, Ference has worked with that city's recycling and bike share programs, with a campaign promoting less car use. And, of course, the November Project, the mass appeal fitness movement he imported to Edmonton from Boston.
"As an athlete, you have a huge platform," Ference said. "And your actions definitely speak louder than words."
When it was suggested to him that, even in 2013, his socially aware approach to life remains far from commonplace for the average citizen, let alone a pro athlete, let alone a hockey player, Ference said: "I think it isn't commonplace, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that it isn't. Because I think we are a huge part of the community."
Ference said the personal benefits of what has come to be called "giving back," are massive, as well.
"You get rid of that barrier of I've got my little bubble, please stay out of it," he said. "There's no need for that."
Ference has cultivated "a ton of friendships outside of hockey" that are built on a foundation of community involvement, not pro hockey.
"People get over the B.S. of getting an autograph, or something like that, because they realize they can just have a conversation with you," Ference said.
Any wonder he's a strong candidate for captain of the Oilers?

Confirmed Sharks for 2013 High-Stakes Pitch Night are as follows: Bill Borne – Amedisys Home Health & Hospice Care (Baton Rouge); Eiad Asbahi – Prescience Investment Group, LLC (Baton Rouge); Neil Mason – Inventure Works (Lafayette); Mark Graffagnini –Graffagnini & Associates (New Orleans); and, Ken Jacob – Cajun Industries (Baton Rouge).
Beginning at 6:00 p.m. heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served and there will be a cash bar. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the program beginning at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at https://sensehighstakespitchnight.eventbrite.com/ or at the door.
There are three new exciting aspects to this year's High-Stakes Pitch Night.
- Speed Pitch Round for companies NOT selected for pitch night. Give a rapid fire pitch to an investor on stage prior to the official beginning of the event.
- RED or GREEN - pass or fail - buttons from Sharks. Kind of a cross between America's Got Talent & The Voice. You've got to be there to see what it's all about.
- Crowd Funding. Each attendee will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite company. The company with the most votes at the end of the night is the Crowd Funding winner. The MORE people that attend, the MORE money will be given to a local start-up. PLUS, you can buy additional votes!

text: For a long time, many of us have felt bound to the _get_/_set_ accessors for attributes defined in the DOM specification because the Python CORBA mapping required that. (I have certainly been a big proponent of supporting the CORBA mapping.) Unfortunately, using the accessors makes using the DOM feel incredibly awkward and "un-Pythonic". xml.dom.minidom only provides accessors for a few attributes, and uses that to ease implementation of computed attributes rather than as the preferred way to access the attributes. As I'm working on the API documentation, I'm finding that I'd like to document the nice, Pythonic interface and not the accessors. Is there anyone who would have problems if I deprecate the accessors in the documentation, and encourage direct access to the attributes? The only issue for DOM-over-CORBA that I can see is that a wrapper would be needed to call the _get_/_set_ methods on the surrogate when the attributes are accessed; just a little __getattr__/__setattr__ magic would be needed. Once the Document object is wrapped, the wrapper could handle wrapping of other objects from the tree automatically, so the infliction of wrappers would not need to permeate client code. Any objections to deprecating the _get_/_set_ methods? -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Digital Creations
