A light heavyweight matchup Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante (11-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Thiago Silva (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) originally announced for UFC 162 will now take place at UFC on FUEL TV 10.
Brazilian website Tatame.com first reported the switch, and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has since confirmed the move with sources close to the fighters although a reason for the change was not immediately clear.
The change moves the scheduled matchup up just about one month, as UFC 162 is scheduled for July 6 while UFC on FUEL TV 10 takes place June 8 at Ginasio Paulo Sarasate in Fortaleza, Brazil. The event's main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook. The card is expected to feature the finals of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2."
A former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Cavalcante fights for the first time since having a May 2012 win over Mike Kyle overturned due to failing the post-event drug screen by testing positive for stanozolol. With his suspension complete, "Feijao" now meets Silva, who is also returning to work after a failed post-fight screen. Silva tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his November win over Stanislav Nedkov, and his win was also overturned.
With the change, the UFC on FUEL TV 10 lineup now includes:
- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Fabricio Werdum
- Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante vs. Thiago Silva*
- John Hathaway vs. Erick Silva
- Caio Magalhaes vs. Karlos Vemola*
* – Not officially announced

How to write a marketing plan when you know nothing about marketing
What's the big secret to starting a successful business?
The answer is, in a word, marketing.
No matter how good your product or service is, if there isn't a market for it, or you don't know how to reach that market, you aren't going to attain your business goals. That's why having a written marketing plan is important for most businesses. The research you complete to write the plan forces you to focus on how you're going to find customers and get them to buy.
There are some businesses that stumble on a hungry market that, in effect, dictates the marketing plan.
Though most businesses aren't that fortunate. More typical is the story of a suburban couple who used all their spare money to buy tools and a van to start a mobile car repair service. Then they realised they didn't have any money left to advertise it.
"The marketing plan is the foundation of a business (and a major part of a business plan)," explains Ronni Rosen, a senior business advisor at Stony Brook University. "Yet many people treat marketing as an afterthought," she says.
What is a marketing plan?
A marketing plan is a written document that explains how you are going to get people to buy what you sell. According to Rosen, the three main parts to consider are:
Customers/Market – The more specific you are, the better you will be at focusing your marketing efforts.
Competition – Learn as much as you can about your competition so you can determine how to position and promote yourself.
Marketing Strategy – Marketing is everything you do to promote your product/service to obtain a profitable share of the entire market. How you execute that is your marketing strategy.
Identify your market and customers
Start your marketing plan by considering, the problem(s) your product or service solves and the need(s) it fills. A fence, for instance, is a simple barrier, but the problems it solves include privacy, security, keeping children in and blocking ugly views.
Now, look at the market. How many people buy what you sell every year and how much do they spend on their purchases?
Don't guess at this information. Research it using the following tools:
- Online searches will give you national statistics about the size of the market.
- Search the Office for National Statistics for local demographics.
- Many local business centres offers free help for small businesses. Search online to find one in your area.
Next, describe your most likely customers. Remember, "everyone" isn't a market. Neither is "all homeowners," or "all businesses in the county." Those categories are too broad. Look for niches within big markets such as seniors who travel frequently, for example.
Look for common characteristics shared by customers. Depending on what you sell, those may include:
- Age
- Gender
- Location
- Income
- Number of children
- Hobbies
- Occupation
For B2B sales, important characteristics may include:
- Industries
- Annual sales
- Number of employees
- Size and frequency of their orders
- How your product improves their bottom line
You should also consider whether there are bigger companies that could distribute your product more widely, or "hidden" markets such as general contractors who might use your plumbing business as a subcontractor.
If possible, talk to existing or potential customers. Call them, meet them socially or at business events. If you already have customers, ask for feedback. If you don't have customers, give away free samples in exchange for feedback.
Once you've completed your research, summarise the characteristics of your ideal customers. These will be the people with the biggest need with money to pay for what you sell and, ideally, the need to buy in quantity or on a repeat basis. Initially, these will be the people you focus on.
The Competition
To win customers, you'll need to distinguish your business from competitors. Research who those competitors are, who they target, how they price themselves and how they make their brands known to their customers.
- Search the web for terms associated with your business, like "landscapers near Farringdon," or "rubbish removal," or "sink manufacturer."
- Look at competitors' websites, slogans, ads and images to determine who they target.
- Look at Facebook, Yelp, Gumtree and other social media, noting what people like or don't like about them. Doing so can help you determine what makes you unique.
Summarise this research in your 'competitors' section, noting names and locations and your biggest competitors and competitive advantages.
Develop your marketing strategy
First, think of your business' strategic goals. These should match up to the goals in your marketing strategy. Then, prioritise each goal so you can then assign a budget to each. The budgeted amounts will also vary based on if you want to simply retain customers, bring new ones on board or really accelerate growth.
Next, determine the best ways to approach potential customers.
Networking, referrals, posting flyers, postcards, email marketing, a website, posting to social media, advertising and speaking at meetings are common small businesses marketing tactics. But, to be effective, you need to be more specific by asking questions like:
- What networking groups do your ideal customers attend?
- Where do they hear about businesses like yours?
- How many times will you have to communicate with them and how long will it take to make them a customer?
- What tactics can you use to get your name in front of the most customers, repeatedly, in the most cost-efficient way? Who in your company will handle these tasks?
The Key to Success
If you need motivation to get started, use one of the many helpful marketing planning worksheets online as a guide. Once you have all this information down on paper, create your budget and get to work. Choose one or more people to carry out the various marketing initiatives and set a timeline. Don't try to do everything at once. Pick the top strategies and implement them, making sure that the tactics you choose lead to repetitive communications with your most likely sales prospects.
"Remember that a marketing plan is just a tool," Rosen says. "You need to evaluate your results periodically and make changes quickly if something isn't working. Do not keep paying for any marketing technique if it does not seem to be helping to increase your business."
By keeping the three main considerations of a marketing plan at the forefront and adjusting as necessary, you'll be well equipped to position your business for success in the most effective way possible.

Ok, am I the only one? On a regular basis, maybe after reading a blog, or a post on a group, or talking to other home schoolers, or seeing some curriculum reviews, or seeing other kids . . .I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, or dont have what it takes, and the reasons
Ok, we survived our first week of home school!
I think overall it went about as expected. It was a big adjustment for us all
Although Raven continues to insist he will not do or enjoy anything, he continues to, in fact, do and enjoy almost everything. He especailly seems to love the reading game I've made up: First of all, I have three colors of index cards, with the letters you find in the beginning, middle and end of 3-letter words
So, today was our first day of home school! It went . . . about as expected.
Raven screamed 'NO' any time I suggested anything. But thats what he does . . . any time i suggest a chore, a walk, a meal .. . he screams NO! but then does fine as long as I ignore the no. Which often involves picking him up and placing him where he needs to be. Luckily he's only 6, and very skinny - not even 40 lb yet!
Orion was a total sweetheart - he did every single thing I asked,
The main reason people think I'm homeschooling is because of my 13 yo autistic/bipolar/gifted/processing disorder son. Ok, its true, he really NEEDS to be homeschooled. Finally everyone agreed, he was learning nothing but in trouble all the time, and the school was clearly doing more damage than good.
Everyone thinks that my bright, better at social situations, better at controlling his emotions 6 yo son does NOT need to be homeschooled. But I don't agree. After
This was another challenging year for me.
In January, Daniel accepted a permanent position at the job where he'd been on contract for 18 month. He really hated the job and his boss, but with the economic crash, he didn't feel he could refuse a permanent job, esp at that salary. Most days, though, he comes home in a foul mood.

Dove occasionally made collages and assemblages while living on his boat, and twenty-five are known to have been created. In these works he used a variety of materials, such as the bamboo, fabric, and wood in Goin' Fishin'. His clever technique reveals his awareness of the Dadaist collages being produced in Europe and his knowledge of the American folk art revival of the 1920s (folk artists often incorporated objects from their surroundings into their work). Dove's collages and assemblages constitute a charming combination of these divergent influences.
Goin' Fishin' was interpreted by many writers on art, including Duncan Phillips, as a good-natured exposition of a Mark Twain character's fishing exploits, and others have connected it with a drowned African-American fisherman. Dove himself denied these ideas, saying that his starting point was simply an African-American man sitting on the pier.
The sleeves of a denim shirt, representing the fisherman's attire, and a piece of dark wood from the dock form the central motif of the composition. Pieces of bamboo fishing pole frame these materials in a tight semicircle. Parts of the human body are alluded to in an ambiguous but humorous manner by the central radiating configuration of bamboo, which some interpret as a skeletal hand. Small pieces of bamboo outline the denim fabric, creating an arc that is reminiscent of the arch of the fishing pole as the fisherman struggles to land a fish.
Although Phillips saw Goin' Fishin' as early as 1926 at the Intimate Gallery, he did not purchase it at that time. Phillips expressed reservations, telling Dove, "I do wish you would paint more pictures in the conventional way with brush and pigment for I think you owe it to the world to do so. Nevertheless, his opinion had changed by 1935 when he wrote to Stieglitz about the "...glow of aesthetic pleasure" he experienced every time he thought of Goin' Fishin'. In 1937, he managed to buy it, even though it had been in Stieglitz's private collection.

Ebola outbreak threatening more African countries
There is a risk the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could spread to neighbouring countries.
The disease however is not at a point where it constitutes, "a public health emergency of international concern", according to a statement issued on Friday by the World Health Organization (WHO).
But acknowledging the potential risk that the disease may spread to neighbouring countries, WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed on behalf of the International Health Regulations (IHR) Emergency Committee, "deep concern" over a recent surge in the transmission of the virus in specific areas, namely North Kivu and Ituri provinces, both of which are heavily populated by armed groups.
Latest data indicates a total of 1,206 confirmed and probable cases of Ebola in this latest deadly outbreak in DRC which began last August, while 764 people have died up to last Wednesday, making the oubreak - which is endemic in the DRC - the worst in the country's history. The numbers spiked this week, with 20 new cases on Wednesday alone.
The concern for health officials is that the DRC is right in the heart of Central Africa and has borders with a large number of countries: Angola, Kenya, Zambia, Gabon, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Sudan, Burundi and Uganda.
Because there is a very high risk of regional spread, the Committee said that neighbouring countries should continue to accelerate preparedness and surveillance, including vaccinating healthcare and front-line workers in surrounding countries.
The Emergency Committee recommended that cross-border collaboration be strengthened, including through the timely sharing of Ebola data and alerts; community engagement, and awareness-raising.
Moreover, work should be done to better map population movements and understand the community networks which bridge national boundaries. The Committee maintained its previous advice that no international travel or trade restrictions should be applied.
While exit screening, including at airports, ports, and land crossings, is of great importance, entry screening is not considered beneficial, said the committee.
The Committee commended efforts of the Government, WHO and other partners in containing the outbreak "in a complex and difficult setting" and advised the WHO Director-General "to continue to monitor the situation closely and reconvene the Emergency Committee as needed".
Democratic Republic the Congo is the third largest country on the African continent, housing more than 81 million people.
Up to the end of March, more than 320 patients with Ebola had recovered and been discharged from treatment centres, according to the DRC government's health ministry.

In general it is best to start with a simple search and then narrow the results using the categories, titles, and filters on the search results page.
By default, a search will look for results that match all your terms (except common words like an, and, of, etc.). The first results will be those where the terms you entered appear in the same field, for example a first and last name together in one annotation. After that, you'll see results that include matches from anywhere on the page.
A basic search will include some simple variations on words you include (e.g. president to presidents). To exclude the variations, place quotation marks around the words you would like to search exactly (e.g. "William" to exclude Williams from your results).
It's generally best to avoid putting quotation marks around a first and last name together ("Lawrence Williams"). This may exclude some matching results. If a middle name or initial was in a document - "Lawrence E. Williams" - as an example, would not show up among your results. When in doubt, try your search with and without quotes.
Matching terms may come from information we have indexed for the image or from Annotations, Spotlights, Comments, or other information added by other Members.
If you don't get any results, try broadening your search by removing some of the terms. It's easy to narrow your results later using the filters on the results page.
It's always a good idea to try your search with variant spellings to make sure you catch any errors in the records or in the index. You can use the asterisk () wildcard to replace any number of characters (e.g. Andersn = Anderson, Andersen, Andersson, etc.).
There is also a "sounds like" option for first and last names in Advanced Search. This will include names like Groham, Grayham, and Crahom for Graham.

Offense lifts Miami RedHawks past Davidson, 14-11
DAVIDSON, N.C. – One day after shutting down Davidson in a one-hit shutout, the Miami baseball team's bats led the way in a 14-11 victory on Saturday afternoon.
The RedHawks' (3-5) 14 runs are a season high as they won their third-straight game.
"Our lineup has been very potent this weekend," Miami head coach Danny Hayden said. "We've had great approaches all 18 innings and it frustrates your opponent when you keep coming at them every inning. We made it a little tougher on ourselves than we needed to at times when we couldn't get some bunts down, but we worked through that and our players picked each other up."
Steve Sada's two-out RBI double scored Chad Sedio in the top of the second, putting the Red and White ahead 1-0. Davidson (2-5) put its first two batters aboard in the bottom of the frame on back-to-back singles, but Nathan Williams dodged the scoring threat to keep the RedHawks on top.
The Red and White extended their lead with a three-run fourth inning. Dan Walsh led off the frame with a single and advanced to second on a groundout. From there, the RedHawks recorded four-straight singles off the bats of Gary Russo, John Crummy, Scott Slappey and Max Andresen to make it 4-0 Miami.
After going scoreless for the first 11 innings of the series, the Wildcats put up a big third inning of their own. Forrest Brandt drove in the Wildcats' first run of the weekend with a one-out RBI single. Nathan Becker followed suit with a two-run home run to pull Davidson within 4-3. Lee Miller's two-out double put the tying run in scoring position and an errant pickoff throw moved him to third base. Williams stranded him there by inducing a groundout to maintain MU's lead.
Miami did not sit idly by during Davidson's rally and responded with two more runs in the top of the fourth. Jake Romano led off the frame with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout. With one out, Matt Honchel delivered an RBI single to plate Romano. After stealing second, Honchel scored two batters later on a throwing error off a fielder's choice ground ball to extend the lead to 6-3.
The Wildcat lineup kept coming and erupted for five runs in the bottom of the fourth, with four of those runs coming with two outs. Andrew Pope started the surge with a one-out double while a David Daniels walk put two aboard. Ryan Lowe's RBI double put the score at 6-4, though Williams punched out Brandt to get within a batter of escaping another jam. However, Becker laced a two-run single to tie the score up at 6-6. He stole second and came around on a double by Sam Foy to give Davidson its first lead of the series at 7-6, ending Williams' afternoon. Lee Miller followed that up with an RBI single to put the RedHawks behind 8-6 after the fourth.
After trading zeroes in the fifth, Miami's offense went back to work in the top of the sixth. Walsh led off the frame with a single and a one-out error and wild pitch moved the tying runs into scoring position. Slappey made Davidson pay with a two-out two-run double to tie it up before Andresen's RBI double put MU back in front 9-8. That lead wouldn't last long, however, as the Wildcats responded on back-to-back doubles by Becker and Foy to tie the score at 9-9 after six innings.
A pair of Davidson errors allowed Miami to plate three in the top of the eighth. With two runners aboard, the Wildcats committed a throwing error on a bunt, allowing Matt Honchel to touch home. Three batters later, Davidson failed to turn a double play with the bases loaded and a throwing error sent two RedHawks home to make it 12-9. The Wildcats answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI groundout, which moved the tying runs in scoring position. Wynston McMartin came in for Ryan Marske with one out and forced a pop out and a fly out to keep the Red and White ahead.
Jacob Wolf's pinch-hit two-run single gave the RedHawks a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth, giving them a four-run spread (14-10) to get the final three outs. The Wildcats put some pressure on in the home half of the frame, scoring a run right away after Pope led off with a double and scored on Daniels' RBI single to make it 14-11. A one-out single by Brandt brought the tying run to the plate, but McMartin finished the game by forcing a fly out and a ground out to seal the victory and earn his first-collegiate save.
Andresen (3-for-4 with a double and two RBI) led a balanced offensive output that saw six RedHawks record multi-hit games. Romano (2-for-6), Walsh (2-for-5), Honchel (2-for-6), Russo (2-for-4) and Slappey (2-for-5) all finished with two hits while Slappey paced the team with three RBI.
Neither starting pitcher factored into the decision as Williams was credited with 3.2 innings, 12 hits and eight runs while Lowe was lifted after allowing four runs on seven hits in 2.1 innings. Ryan Marske (1-0) picked up his first-collegiate win by pitching 2/3 of an inning and getting the game to the eighth tied.
"Davidson is a much better offense against right-handed pitching," Hayden said. "They sat some lefties last night that swung the bat well today. We felt we needed to score a lot to win this game and we were able to do it."
Miami and Davidson wrap up the weekend series on Sunday, first pitch is slated for 1 p.m. Ryan Powers (1-1) will toe the rubber for the RedHawks.

Powerball ticket sales soar in California
Prize at a record $600 million
Californians are diving Powerball mania.

Spending by Californian's pushed the multi-state jackpot to a Powerball record $600 million for Saturday night's drawing.

The small store and deli on Land Park Drive is famous for selling winning lottery tickets.
Cooper said there were long lines to purchase Powerball tickets all day into the evening.
Lottery officials calculated the odds of winning the mega-prize at a staggering 175 million to one.
"For two dollars people are buying a dream, buying hope to change their lives," said Russell of the California Lottery. "For two bucks, why not?"

Serial killer was in NH amid spree By Nancy West
Israel Keyes: FBI is seeking public's help in effort to identify some of his 11 victims. Alaskan serial killer Israel Keyes was registered April 9, 2009, at the Highlander Inn in Manchester during a week in which he kidnapped a woman from one East Coast state, killed her in another and ultimately dumped her body in a third state, he later confessed to the FBI.
"During that trip, he told us, he had murdered someone," said FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden. "We believe she was kidnapped from New Jersey and taken to another state where she was murdered, and then he disposed of her body in upstate New York."
Could Keyes, 34, an Anchorage contractor and handyman who traveled extensively and is believed to have murdered 11 strangers, have killed the unidentified New Jersey woman in New Hampshire, since he flew into the Manchester airport on April 7, 2009, and flew back to Seattle a week later?
"We just don't know. It is certainly possible," Goeden said, given his familiarity with New Hampshire and the East Coast in general, which he referred to as his "stomping grounds."
About the victim, Keyes taunted investigators in 2012 after his arrest: "I'm not giving a name today."
It was a busy week in April 2009 for Keyes, who rented a 2007 Hyundai Sonata in Manchester with a license plate X74QFZ, according to a time line of his whereabouts on the FBI website.
He put 1,047 miles on the rental car during that time and is believed to have robbed a bank in Tupper Lake, N.Y., the day after he registered at the Highlander Inn in Manchester.
Keyes, an Army veteran who committed suicide in an Anchorage jail cell last December, was no stranger to New Hampshire, having flown Southwest Airlines to Manchester on Oct. 6, 2004, putting 1,745 miles on a rented red Kia Amanti, license plate 1230139, before flying back to Seattle 10 days later.
He also took a couple of flights from the Northwest to Boston and Chicago from 2008 to 2011. Keyes admitted to randomly killing Bill and Lorraine Currier -- a middle-aged married couple -- on June 8, 2011, in Essex, Vt.
The FBI believes Keyes murdered a total of 11 people, but he identified only three -- the Curriers and Anchorage barista Samantha Koenig, 18 -- during extensive FBI interviews while awaiting trial in connection with Koenig's slaying.
Help requested
The FBI is asking for help from people in New Hampshire and across the country to trace Keyes' travels and learn the identity of the other victims whose bodies have not been found and whose loved ones may not have even reported them missing. The FBI said his victims were mostly female and ranged in age from teenagers to the elderly.
Authorities do not believe Keyes had anything to do with the disappearance in New Hampshire of nursing student Maura Murray from Route 112 in Haverhill on Feb. 9, 2004, or the murder of Celina Cass, 11, in Stewartsown two years ago, she said.
"We are asking for people to look at the time line on the FBI website and the time frames to see if any missing people fit that time frame and to call the FBI," Goeden said.
Associate Attorney General Jane Young said the FBI has been in ongoing contact with New Hampshire State Police.
"I am aware the FBI and the Major Crimes Unit have had ongoing dialogue about Keyes," Young said Friday, but she had no additional information regarding Keyes' trips to New Hampshire and New England or potential victims here.
"Murder kits"
He was known to drive long distances. Keyes flew from Anchorage, where he lived with his girlfriend and daughter, to Chicago on June 2, 2011, rented a car and drove to Essex, killing the Curriers on June 8, 2011, according to the time line. #Then he traveled around the East Coast before driving back to Chicago.
Keyes was known to leave "murder kits" around the country containing weapons and cash from bank robberies he committed, according to the FBI.
"As to the April 2009 victim, we think we know who she is," Goeden said, "but we are looking for additional information."
Keyes was unusual in the realm of serial killers because he killed men and women and didn't have a specific age or type, although he did prefer strangulation as the method to kill his victims, Goeden said.
"He chose victims more based on the situation, if he saw a good opportunity versus the specific person," Goeden said.
Goeden interviewed Keyes many times.
"There were times we talked to him and had a normal conversation, like you were talking to your next-door neighbor," she said. "Other times when he was talking about his crimes, it was a different Israel Keyes, the other side he didn't think people would ever see."
Keyes liked talking about his double life.
"He enjoyed the fact that he fooled people," Goeden said.
She encouraged families who know of missing loved ones whose disappearance may coincide with the time line to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
"There still are a lot of unknowns, unanswered questions for families out there," Goeden said.
FBI seeks help
Alaskan serial killer Israel Keyes is believed to have committed multiple kidnappings and 11 murders across the country, including New England and possibly New Hampshire between 2001 and March 2012 before committing suicide in an Anchorage jail cell. The FBI is seeking assistance in developing more information about his travels to identify additional victims.
Anyone with information concerning Keyes or missing loved ones is encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Romulo Yanes
The predicaments of six kids growing up under one suburban roof were the cornerstone of each Brady Bunch episode. In "The Personality Kid," which first aired in 1971, Peter thinks he's dull and goes looking for a new image. Trying on Humphrey Bogart for size, he asks Alice what's for dinner. "Pork chops and applesauce," Peter repeats à la Bogart. "Ain't that swell." His parents and Alice make lighthearted fun of Peter's new accent.

Today, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have teamed up to announce the release of their own mobile wallet service in the United States, Isis Mobile Wallet. Beginning from today, owners of Isis compatible mobile handsets can enjoy a wallet free shopping experience in Salt Lake City and Austin.
"The launch of the Isis Mobile Wallet in Austin and Salt Lake City represents a milestone for both Isis and the mobile commerce industry," said Ryan Hughes, chief marketing officer, Isis. "With as many as twenty Isis Ready handsets headed to market by year end, we are experiencing an unprecedented level of support for NFC and consumer choice."
The Isis mobile wallet service from three of the biggest operators in the United States might just kill Google's own Wallet service. Google launched its Wallet service back in late 2010 with the Nexus S. Since then, the service has failed to become mainstream mainly because of the opposition from the U.S. carriers and the lack of Google Wallet compatible handsets.
On the other handset, Isis mobile wallet service is already supported by 9 different Android handsets, with 11 additional handsets to be available by the year end.
While Google only recently added support for all credit and debit cards in Google Wallet, Isis only works with cards from American Express, Capital One or a Chase card.

About Flipper
They came, they saw, and they conquered -- sort of. Never topping the charts, nor possessing a huge following, San Francisco's Flipper, even in the '90s alt-rock sweepstakes, would still be considered a fringe act. But, in 1982, they were the toast of rock critics across the country with their post-hardcore punk masterpiece "Sex Bomb." Clocking in at over seven minutes, possessing one riff played over and over (and sloppier and sloppier), with vocalist Will Shatter screaming rather than singing (total lyrics: "She's a sex bomb/My baby/yeah"), it was a remarkable record: loud, proud, defiantly obnoxious, and relentlessly dumb. But in it's own gleeful and intentionally moronic way it was (and remains) a perfect record.
With "Sex Bomb" providing the impetus, Shatter and fellow Flippers, vocalist/bassist Bruce Loose, drummer Steve DePace, and guitarist Ted Falconi, emerged from the fractious muck of the California hardcore punk scene (Shatter and DePace played in the Bay Area hardcore band Negative Trend in the late '70s) with a crushingly loud, slowed-down sound that resembled the Stooges at their most drug-addled (see "We Will Fall" from the first Stooges LP). Flipper didn't care if you loved or loathed them (most everyone loathed them), they simply played until you couldn't stand it anymore. There was something wonderfully uncomplicated about this attitude, which is probably the reason that Flipper, despite being seen as a one-shot band, had a career that lasted longer than 15 minutes.
Their debut album, Album -- Generic Flipper, included "Sex Bomb" along with a handful of good-to-great songs about anonymity and desperation that were not all-bleak, nor without moments of humor. In fact, Flipper may have been the first hardcore/post-hardcore band to essay life-affirming messages on its album (no matter how tongue-in-cheek it might sound). So, although there's a track called "Life Is Cheap," there is also "Life" which offers the sentiment: "I too have sung death's praises/But I'm not gonna sing that song anymore." Adding the oft-stated sentiment, "Life is the only thing worth living for." Hmmm. How, uh, un-punk.
With much of the rock press singing their praises (and deservedly so), Flipper went on to demi-celebrity status as the reigning kings of American underground rock, for a few years. They never released anything as mind-blowingly good as Album, but until they split up in 1987, the music was usually very good. Precipitating their breakup was Shatter's death from a heroin overdose, with the remaining members spending the next half-dozen years stepping in-and-out of music. In 1992, Flipper fan and American Recordings label honcho Rick Rubin encouraged the remaining members to record a new album. The subsequent effort, American Grafishy, only hinted at their greatness. Their comeback attempt notwithstanding, Flipper's greatness lies in their ability to say "let's rock our way." ~ John Dougan

Though the Pacific Northwest produces high quality wines, few people make the connection that great wine also means great grapes. table grapes, that is. Thanks to breeders of American grapes, both in this country and Canada (hang on,that's correct) there are quality table grapes that grow without disease in the NW.
American grapes in this case means grapes with a large percentage of North American grape species in their ancestry. In the past, "American grapes" meant something like "Concord", which is fine for cooked juice, but fair to poor for many other uses. And Concord has (gasp) seeds.
Some California-style table grapes like Perlette and Flame ripen in the Northwest, but most get powdery mildew, and the fruit often cracks and rots in our wet fall weather. For some years, however, breeders in the eastern U.S. and Canada have been crossing California-type grapes with American grapes to get grapes with the ability to grow in cool, rainy climates. These seedless, and seeded, grapes stand up to wet weather, or even avoid it by ripening before the rain sets in. So they are perfect for the NW. And they resist powdery mildew, our only real vine disease, making them nearly carefree. In many areas of the NW, most of these varieties need only pruning and picking.
Planting, Pruning, & Training Grapes
A basic trellis combines a six foot (above ground) steel fence post by the vine(s) with tightly stretched #12 stainless steel wires at 4 and 6 feet to support the vine. Attach the wires to well anchored end posts set in the ground at the ends of the rows.
Plant bare-root vines eight feet apart in the rows in late winter or early spring and mulch them well with compost or other organic matter. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and just let the vine grow the first year to establish it's roots well. The second spring, cut it back to two buds. As the two shoots grow, pinch one back to keep it FROM growing much (it's a "reserve" in case something happens to the other shoot) and train one shoot straight up, tying it loosely to the stake as it grows.
When the new shoot is at least 18 inches above the bottom wire, cut it off just below that bottom wire. Side shoots will grow that are trained horizontally on the wires and will produce the fruiting wood. At this stage you can remove the "spare" shoot from the base of the vine.
The horizontal shoots, which will be the "arms" of the vine, will carry the fruiting wood that will bear the crop.
In winter, prune the two shoots, now called canes, to four feet long. If a cane didn't get that long, cut it back to a short spur with two buds at the main shoot/trunk and try for a new shoot that is straight, the next year. Trying to "extend" an arm that went only halfway makes a kink where it "restarts" that will forever produce unwanted suckers and will be harder to manage.
Next spring, the arms will produce new shoots from each bud, and each shoot will carry from one to three flower clusters. That's more than a young vine can handle, so remove at least three quarters of the flower clusters just as soon as they bloom.
Don't be in a hurry to get a big crop. If the vine has more fruit than it can carry, the fruit will be late to ripen, the quality and sweetness will be less, and the vine itself won't harden it's wood well and shoots may die back in the winter. Six to eight clusters the first year is a safe number on a healthy vine. Add about that many each year until the vine is at full capacity.
Next winter, the canes that arose from the arms will be cut back to short spurs sticking out of the horizontal arm, which is now two years old. Leave no more than two buds on each of the spurs, the first year, and limit the vine to six spurs per arm. In successive years you can leave more buds on the spurs, and even leave more spurs on the shoots as the vine is mature enough to handle them. This system is known as a type of "spur pruning" and will work with most grapes.
A few varieties will fruit better with a different system, called cane pruning. With it, go back to the stage where there were two horizontal canes. After those canes bear a crop, select one of the new canes that grew up near the base of that original cane. It should have at least ten to 15 buds on it. Prune off the old cane and the growth on it, beyond the point where the selected cane is attached. That cane is then tied to the wire to replace the original cane and to bear the next season's crop. Also, select an additional cane as close to the attachment point of the original cane to the trunk, and cut that other cane back to a two bud spur. That spur will produce canes, one of which can be selected as the new fruiting cane the following winter. Thus, every year you replace the old fruiting cane with a new one, and create a spur which produces a new cane to use the following season. As the vine matures, you can leave more canes until the vine has as many as four to six, depending on it's vigor and productivity.
Once you get the knack of pruning grapes (and it must be done every winter) you only have to learn how to pick them. Which will be really easy when you find out how good they are fresh from the vine.

Feds: Joplin man, 30, admits to mosque arson
Jedediah Stout also linked to attempted arsons at women's clinic
Federal prosecutors say a 30-year-old Joplin man has confessed to twice trying to burn down a Planned Parenthood clinic and setting a fire that destroyed a mosque in August.
The allegations are contained in a motion filed Monday seeking to have Jedediah Stout remain in federal custody without bond.
Stout was arrested Friday and charged with two failed attempts in early October to set fire to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Joplin. That clinic does not provide abortions.
The U.S. Attorney's office says that after his arrest, Stout told FBI agents he was responsible for the clinic arson attempts and for setting fire to the Islamic Society of Joplin's building in July and August. The second fire destroyed the center.
A message was left Monday evening with Stout's public defender seeking comment.

LONDON, Saturday (New Wildean Express) — Oscar Wilde's latest play has produced a reaction of horror from many critics here in the capital.
Leaping the Selachimorphus, the recently released successor to the wildly successful The Importance Of Being Foppish, has been widely derided by critics for its amateur acting, hackneyed plot involving James Bond and a time machine, and scandalous love scenes involving Mr. Wilde and nearly half the cast, as well as some of the stage hands.
In a statement, Oscar "Fonzarelli" Wilde, the formerly popular thesbian and practicing homosapien, is quoted as saying something that lacks his usual level of biting witticism. Mr Wilde has recently been the subject of a number of news reports hinting at him being sighted at many of the East End's seedier Oriental kitten huffing dens. Further relevations, including a calling out by boxing promoter, the Marquess of Queensberry, are expected later this week.
The plot climax, which involves Wilde fighting a killer monster from the deep with his harpoon gun while reading the collected works of Milton, particularly roused critical ire. Wilde has claimed that he found the contrast between "Milton and the harpoon gun to be a fascinating interplay on the duality of human nature." Critics consider this a "white elephant, or some other large white creature."
Later in the play, Wilde, wearing swim trunks and his trademark leather jacket, jumps a cage containing the killer monster from the deep to beat out Chaucer for the title of "Greatest English Author on Water Skis," after he beats off both Dickens and Byron and services Shakespeare with his eyes closed. He handily takes care of all three authors' great white monsters to win the imaginary title, a move which has been seen as vainglorous. Many attendants said "the third time was just obscene." Said another, "He's really gone out into the Deep Blue yonder with this one... I don't think he can even see the shore anymore. He's fallen into the toothy jaws of mediocrity."
One critic said: "Even though hardly a line of the play has any chance of becoming a common witticism, I fear that a common phrase for failure shall emerge from it." Mr Wilde, unusually, has declined to comment.

|To incorporate a few old-school guitar building techniques is one thing -- for your company to sell more OM''s than anything else is another. Santa Cruz Guitars aren''t just old-school, they''re handcrafted by a small team that likes unsung woods and nitrocellulose. But Santa Cruz Guitars have a fresh, new vibe to them, not to mention a modern look, making them a popular choice for the most famous artists in the world, even though those artists have to pay for them - yet another old-school way of doing things that helps Santa Cruz stand out in today''s world of mass-produced instruments and endorsement-focused marketing. We had a chance to chat with Willie Carter, one of the company''s 20 employees, about the Santa Cruz shop, the guitars themselves and why the company does things the way it does.

For our podcast talking with owner Richard Hoover, click here.
We're based on a lot of traditional building techniques, and of all the production shops this size, we're the only one that really produces a hand-built guitar. We don't have a lot of mechanized machinery like a lot of other shops. If you come to our shop, you're going to see a lot of highly-skilled workers building our instruments and a lot of traditional techniques – dovetail joint as opposed to a bolt-on neck, which are a lot of people are using; nitrocellulose lacquer finish as opposed to polyurethane that most people are going to now.
We think [nitro] is tonally better and visually we prefer it as well. It's a little more difficult to work with, but I think the overall results are better. And it's traditional, which is what we think guitar making is about. You blend those traditional techniques with some of the modern techniques as well. We think you need to find a happy balance of both to give people the guitars they're looking for.
It's interesting because even with more and more people, nobody is doing what we do, and we're busier than we've ever been. And we're finding that we're building more and more of the custom instruments and more and more of the high end instruments than ever before.
Let's talk about this nitro issue for a minute. A lot of players swear that's the finish for tone, but others worry about checking problems during travel. How do you justify the decision to go with Nitro?
Well, [checking] can happen, but the nice thing about a nitro as opposed to a poly is that it's much easier to repair. With a poly, if you do have a crack in the finish or something like that, it's very difficult to repair without being visible, where as lacquer is much easier to repair. It doesn't require a lot of chemicals or machinery to repair it properly.
What are the tonal benefits to nitro?
We're able to spray it much thinner than a lot of people are spraying the poly. And it's more flexible, so if you have a lightly built guitar like we do, we don't want to kill the tone by putting a thick plastic finish on it.
Let's talk about your product line – you have a pretty wide range of sizes, what seems to be the most popular?
Santa Cruz Tony Rice model; the Tony Rice Professional model is also available
We're really fortunate to have a lot of great players playing our instruments. Many of the players you see on TV playing other peoples' guitars take ours into the studio. So often what you hear in recordings are Santa Cruz guitars, especially in Nashville. There are a lot of great players using our instruments.
For a long time, the masses were into the bigger hips – the 45 or the 28 style acoustics. But we're seeing more players and other companies going back to the aughts and the OM. Why is it that you guys gravitate toward them?
Well, I personally like the sound of the smaller guitars. Tonally, I think they are sweeter and much more balanced than the big treble strings. Which always seems to be a plus for recording – it's much easier to mic that way.
And yes, we've seen a trend going back to the smaller guitars. As a matter of fact, we have a fairly new model, the Firefly, which is close to a 3/4 size guitar, that we just can't make enough of. It's really taken off. Several players in Nashville are using those to record with now because they're easy, very round, and they sound great mic'ed up. We're seeing a huge trend going back to the smaller guitars, the OOs, the OOOs, and the OM much more so than we've seen in the past.
In the American way, bigger is better – the Cadillacs and limousines – and the dreadnought was traditionally a huge seller. Martin still probably has a great portion of their sales in Dreadnoughts. We still make quite a few, the Tony Rice is always popular for example, but we're finding that the OM size and smaller are becoming a higher percentage of what we're producing. The OM has always been our #1 model, so that's of no surprise to us at this point, but the smaller models are starting to take a larger percentage of our production.
A Santa Cruz OM model
I think what we find is because of our style of building. People like to find a guitar with some presence and some bass, and there are several dreadnoughts on the market that don't have the same amount, compared to our OM. People are often surprised – they come in thinking they're looking for a dread and they play one of our OMs and are blown away.
It's a much more comfortable body for a lot of people too. Especially as we get older, sitting on the sofa, it alleviates some shoulder problems people get with a larger guitar.
Santa Cruz utilizes what's referred to as a bench style of building, reviewing the work of the person before you. How does that work?
Well, we rotate people throughout the shop, but each person has their specialty. So there's generally one guy that carve the tops, then he passes that on to the next person who's putting the boxes together. People inspect their own work and the guy after them will inspect their work and send it back if need be. It's a real team effort.

As the U.S. presidential election nears and the uncertainty of the fiscal cliff looms, opinion leaders are weighing in on what that means for stock market investing.
In a commentary posted Thursday on investment research firm TrimTabs' blog, Charles Biderman (left), the firm's CEO, offers a novel explanation for the rapid pace of outflows from U.S. equity mutual funds: investors simply need the money.
There are two types of such investors, Biderman says: The first are retired investors selling stocks regularly to pay bills. "There are about 90 million Americans in the retiring baby boom generation. Their children only number about half of that," Biderman says, noting that pension funds that TrimTabs tracks have been selling stocks for three years.
Another group of sellers are unemployed investors in a down economy using whatever resources they have to get by.
Beyond those who have no choice, there are also those who are shifting their investment allocation to safer investments. Biderman says that while $10 billion per month have flowed out of stocks over the past two years, there has been a tidal wave of $20 billion in monthly flows into bonds and $40 billion flowing into bank accounts that pay depositors virtually nothing.
A third possible reason for the outflows may be investor fear of volatility. But Biderman dismisses this reason because investors typically follow stock-market performance, which has been quite positive in recent years. He argues that "stocks are staying up because the Fed is manipulating the stock market," yet "the lousy economy is forcing people to sell stocks" anyway.
Whether or not to get in or out of this bizarre market that has been rising in a down economy is the subject of two recent commentaries, one by finance professors at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the other by Brookings Institution economist George Perry.
Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel (left), of "Stocks for the Long Run" fame, notes the stock market's value has doubled since March 2009, so that fearful investors are behaving normally in missing most of the party. In other words, the prevailing sense of bearishness is a bullish indicator for the market. "I can easily see stocks up another 20% to 30% from these levels in a year or two," the Wharton article quotes Siegel as saying.
Siegel's Wharton colleague Franklin Allen takes the opposite tack, defending the flight to "safe" bonds with low yields. "If you think the market is going to drop, then zero [return] is better than minus-20," he is quoted as saying. Allen's signal to get back in is a 30% fall in current stock prices.
Allen is not alone in this expectation. The most recent Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index indicates that 47% of the public expects the stock market to plunge in the next 12 weeks, according to Wharton professor Olivia Mitchell. Mitchell's own portfolio has outperformed the stock market since 1999, when she put all her investments in Treasury inflation-protected securities. Her difficulty today, however, is figuring out what to do now that TIPS are paying negative returns.
According to Brookings economist George Perry, fears of the stock investing because of the election, China's economic slowdown, Europe's decline and the looming fiscal cliff are overblown.
Citing Wharton's Siegel, Perry points out that stocks' long-term average return of 9.6% between 1888 and 2006 is likely to persist beyond the short-term distress of these factors that roil the markets. Markets perform well no matter which party occupies the White House, the slowdown in China only modestly impacts the U.S. economy, Europe's crisis delivers shocks here and there but in the main is unfolding slowly.
Perry says the higher taxes and lower spending that the fiscal cliff might deliver is a bigger concern but not one that necessarily need impact long-term investors. His conclusion:
"Nothing now on the horizon suggests that money invested in stocks today will look like a bad investment five years from now…Now seems as good a time as any to be in the market for long-term investors, like those who are saving for college or for retirement." He adds that timing the markets involves two correct decisions: when to get out and when to get back in.
Still, bearishness remains the prevailing sentiment in the U.S. today. The Wharton paper cites State Street's head of U.S. portfolio management Chris Goolgasian, who meets regularly with brokers and advisors managing individual portfolios. With some 80 meetings under his belt since April, they all ask: How do I get my clients out of cash and bonds? "This is repeated at every meeting," the State Street exec says.

Ladies in Waiting
This story appears in the November 2002 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Women have been involved in franchising for years. They were, however, more often unseen powers behind the scenes; the people who watched the store while their husbands brought home the business deals.
Times are changing. According to the International Franchise Association, women currently own about 38 percent of all franchises, mirroring the number of women-owned businesses nationwide. What's different today is that more and more women are signing their names on the dotted line beside men and are being legally recognized as business owners.
Not only are more women buying franchises--they're buying franchises "outside of the traditional women's areas. And a lot of women are even multiple-unit owners," says Ann Hurwitz, a partner with the Dallas law firm Piper Rudnick, who has represented the franchise industry for 20 years. "Women are getting positions of power within franchises, and franchisors have started to appreciate that women are very good at franchising on both sides of the table. Franchising is a relationship-driven industry, and women are good at managing relationships as well as business."
Hurwitz adds that within the past four or five years, industry leaders have worked to push the issue of women's involvement in franchising to the forefront.
New Attitude
While most women franchisees are co-owners with their husbands, about 10 percent of franchises are owned solely by women, says an SBA report.
Betty Russotti has represented both sides of that coin-she started a company with her husband and ended up owning a franchise alone. In 1982, Russotti and husband Tom, who were living in Denver at the time, opened Shipping Connection, then opened a second store six months later.
The couple franchised 20 stores, then divorced in 1992. Russotti sold Shipping Connection to Florida-based Speedy Sign-a-Rama (now called Sign-a-Rama) in 1995 and went to Florida to work for the company. "In 1999, Sign-a-Rama sold [Shipping Connection] to PostNet, and in the transition, they gave me a store," she says.
But this time, the 51-year-old North Palm Beach entrepreneur was running the whole show. And the number of women joining her in the franchise ranks was on the rise.
"There are more opportunities for women and minorities to get into franchising with financing programs and loans," says Russotti. "Franchisors are starting to realize 'We can't be an all-white, male franchise. We need to look to women and minorities and help these people get into business.'"
What prompted this turnaround in the past decade? A report by Matthew C. Sonfield, a professor at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, points out that lawsuits and advocacy by government and civil rights organizations prodded many corporations, including franchises, to move in that direction. Now, some franchisors have made recruiting women and minorities a front-burner issue. The benefits to these franchise companies: Besides adding to their corporate tills, companies also get entrees to markets they hadn't considered through women and minority franchises.
Still, financing remains a major challenge, explains Hurwitz. "Getting [loans] is difficult, especially if you're just getting started."
Prospective women franchisees face a double whammy. "A lot of lenders don't understand franchising," says Hurwitz. "And women [who want to buy a franchise] may not have the resources to offer additional collateral."
However, some potential franchisees have gained a foothold by taking advantage of assistance programs created by major franchisors such as 7-Eleven, KFC and Thrifty Car Rental. Such special financing and support programs help prospective women and minority franchisees overcome some of the challenges they've faced.
Golden Opportunity
Cheri Romonosky knows all about financial hurdles-and breakthroughs. She was an unemployed former McDonald's manager with very little savings. Still, she was able to qualify for buying a Back Yard Burgers franchise.
"I was ready to accept a job with another McDonald's when the phone rang," says Romonosky, 42. "It was a friend telling me to call the bank."
Romonosky did, and discovered that Roger Herrin, president of Community National Bank, wanted to give her a chance to buy a franchise. "One of the [bank] directors, Jo Dullinger, ran several McDonald's of which Cheri was the manager," says Herrin. "We'd taken over a Back Yard Burgers in Paducah, [Kentucky,] and I thought it was a good match for Cheri." While Romonosky was amazed she got the funding to buy the franchise, she didn't come empty-handed. She had 22 years' experience working for Dullinger.
"I told [Roger] that this place has to carry itself, because we didn't have money to sink into it. And it has," says Romonosky, who says sales the first year, which ended in January 2002, were $550,000. Revenues have increased 25 percent, and she expects to do even better during her second year.
Getting more women like Romonosky and Russotti into franchise systems may have started as a response to external pressures, but the changing dynamics in franchising-the shifting demographics of cities and saturated suburban markets--have forced franchisors to rethink their game plans.
An SBA study found that as of 1999, 22.5 percent of franchises offer minorities direct financial assistance, while another 50 percent offer indirect help. Most of those programs include women as participants. Industry insiders see that as proof that women are becoming an increasingly valued resource for franchises--and franchises are doing whatever is necessary to get women into business and keep them there.
