Elevation Partners, the Silicon Valley private equity firm that counts U2's Bono among its investors, announced Wednesday that it has committed up to $100 million in funding for reviews site Yelp.
It's initially investing $25 million in the Series E round, and plans to increase the investment to up to $100 million through the purchase of stock from employees whose stock has vested, as well as other eligible shareholders. Elevation co-founder Marc Bodnick will join Yelp's board of directors.
The funding round comes just a month after Yelp was reportedly close to a $500 million acquisition by Google, and then is believed to have turned down the deal at the 11th hour. At the time, it was widely believed that Yelp may have made the about-face because a better deal came along.
"We have been able to grow and scale our business quickly, even in the tough economic environment of the last year--a clear indicator that we've only begun to realize the potential of local search," Yelp CEO and co-founder Jeremy Stoppelman said in a release. "This investment in Yelp provides us with even more capital to focus on scaling our already proven business model and we are thrilled to have Elevation as a new partner."
Translation: They think they can get much bigger than $500 million.
And Yelp is indeed growing fast. The company said it pulled in 26 million unique visitors in the month of December, and that the number of reviews on the site doubled last year. It's not quite as clear how much money it's making. The company makes the bulk of its money from advertising--sometimes controversially--and while it certainly has a wealth of local content, Yelp hasn't yet said anything vis-a-vis profitability.
A source close to the company, however, says that Yelp first achieved a cash-flow-positive status late last year.
The company's last round of funding was $15 million two years ago, led by DAG Ventures. Part of the rationale behind that round was for the San Francisco-based company to open a New York office, focused primarily on ad sales.

Irish nationalist seeks German support
In Washington, D.C., on September 13, 1914, the former British diplomat Sir Roger Casement secretly meets with Franz von Papen, the German military attaché, to seek Germany's support in the effort to win independence from British rule for Ireland.
Born in Dublin in 1864, Casement earned international acclaim for his work as a British consul in Mozambique, Angola, the Congo and Brazil. He was rewarded with a knighthood in 1911. That same year, he retired from diplomatic service, citing ill health. Returning to Dublin, Casement helped found the Irish National Volunteers in 1913 and his trip to the United States in the summer of 1914 was aimed at garnering support for the nascent organization.
In his meeting with Papen—who in 1932 would briefly serve as chancellor of Germany before becoming vice chancellor under Adolf Hitler the following year—Casement suggested that an Irish Brigade be formed to fight alongside the Germans against Britain and the other Allies in World War I. Casement continued his campaign for German support with a trip to Germany soon after; by the time he left, he had persuaded the German government to issue a declaration stating that "Should the fortunes of this great war, that was not of Germany's seeking, ever bring in its course German troops to the shores of Ireland, they would land there, not as an army of invaders to pillage and destroy, but as the forces of a government that is inspired by good-will towards a country and a people for whom Germany desires only national prosperity and national freedom."
Casement failed to secure Germany's direct support, however, in the form of sending troops to Ireland. He also failed to recruit any German military officers to assist in the planned Easter Rising, scheduled to take place on April 24, 1916. He consequently aimed to discourage his fellow organizers from going ahead with the uprising, on the grounds that they were not sufficiently prepared. On his return to Ireland from Berlin, however, Casement was arrested by the British and tried in London for treason. The Easter Rising went ahead without him, and was easily crushed by police and government forces. Casement was executed by hanging on August 3, 1916; his body was returned to Ireland years later, where he was given a state funeral and remembered as a hero of Irish nationalism.

The late 1820s and 1830s saw a Protestant religious revival called the Second Great Awakening which had a strong impact on American religion and reform. In New England evangelical enthusiasm led to the formation of missionary societies that sent clergy to foreign lands to bring bibles and religion to non-Christians. This is the report of some missionaries who had returned home from the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) for a visit. The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827 to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.

Maybe it was the scraping and flung petals, the orange
degrees of your voice, saying, Yes, saying, Okay, saying, I did.
Too many things happen quickly. Like the bullet
shot into a mattress. Like this morning when I wrote
in my journal, a careful, silly decision: I paid attention to the loops
of handwriting, the diligent rhythm of the porch swing,
a finch with her breakfast among the mulch and roots.
And I didn't think the Thud I heard was a car crash
because even the word Thud was too slow. If it happened at all,
it happened Dihh. Then a man and a woman stood on the street,
peering at footprint-sized dents and a little steam. There wasn't even
the Reee you hear in movies before a crash. There wasn't any such time.
The man and woman squinted, exchanged cards as you would
cheap gifts, embarrassed and slippery. So little time was wasted
even the sunshine was not inconvenienced. Watching, I felt a defeat:
I thought things would slow. I thought time would thicken into some
painful pudding around the bodies, reducing the speed of eyelashes, glances,
gesticulation. Instead, it was: I slept with her. As quick as the final
stage of birth, the way the pushing and moans slicken
into an immediate red life. Your words bulked enough to allow
that weightlessness of confession, but your tongue lay, far more inert
than a tongue should be in such moments, for if anything dispenses time
shouldn't it be the tongue, the twisting wet muscle that will form words
days and weeks later, words to take the sting out, like bamboozle.
A wonderful deceleration for the mouth, that word: our fingers
meshed in the carpet, our faces down, speaking into air that snaps
and syrups, speaking, and each syllable falling
like the placenta, like thirty shekels into your hands.

Ray's second start encouraging, but 'pen falters
DETROIT -- Robbie Ray had the perfect Mother's Day gift neatly wrapped, but the Tigers' bullpen couldn't deliver it.
"I was one pitch away," said Detroit setup man Joba Chamberlain, who took the loss in the 4-3 series finale against the Twins on Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- Robbie Ray had the perfect Mother's Day gift neatly wrapped, but the Tigers' bullpen couldn't deliver it.
"I was one pitch away," said Detroit setup man Joba Chamberlain, who took the loss in the 4-3 series finale against the Twins on Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
Lori Ray, part of a sellout crowd of 40,468 at Comerica Park, watched her son pitch six dazzling, scoreless innings in his second big league start. Ray retired the first seven batters he faced and gave up only four hits.
But in the seventh inning, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus turned the ball over to Al Alburquerque, who gave up a single to Josmil Pinto. Lefty Ian Krol came on and gave up two more hits, and a run scored, cutting into Detroit's three-run lead.
The brunt of the damage came in the eighth. Chamberlain, who had gone six straight appearances without surrendering a run, was wild from the first batter he faced. He beaned Brian Dozier then walked Joe Mauer. After two strikeouts, it looked like he might get out of trouble, and Chamberlain found himself one more strike away from a massive escape. But Pinto singled to left and left fielder Rajai Davis misplayed the ball, which rolled to the wall to allow both runs to score.
According to Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, Davis' miscue came because the ball "hit something in the grass and bounced up."
Davis didn't see anything out there, though, besides a ball that just took a bad bounce.
"It just hopped up over my glove," Davis said. "Tough play. Unfortunate. It's tough to anticipate a hop like that in the outfield."
Eduardo Nunez followed with a single, driving in the decisive fourth run.
"That one hurts," Chamberlain said. "Robbie pitched his tail off."
Only twice did Minnesota put a runner in scoring position against Ray, and in his only rocky frame, he even got a bit of luck. In the sixth with two men on, Trevor Plouffe hit a liner off Ray's glove that caromed directly to shortstop Andrew Romine, setting up an inning-ending double play.
Though he said his curveball still has plenty of room to improve, and Ausmus agreed, Ray was proud of the way he mixed speeds Sunday. His comfort level with his changeup allowed him to throw it in big situations.
"It was working for me today," Ray said of his best offspeed pitch. "I was pretty happy with it."
The Tigers took the lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Miguel Cabrera that scored Ian Kinsler, who had doubled. Kinsler also homered off Twins starter Samuel Deduno in the fifth inning.
In the fourth inning, singles by Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Austin Jackson gave Ray a 2-0 cushion. The inning had potential to lead to even more insurance, but a ground ball hit Jackson in between second and third, forcing Martinez to remain at third. Davis grounded out to end the threat.
The missed opportunity came back to haunt the Tigers as soon as Ray's day ended, and Detroit dropped its first series since April 11-13 at San Diego.
Ausmus said that he's still pleased with a 4-3 homestand, though his mood would've been better had they won the finale. Still, plenty of good came from the week at home, not the least of which was the emergence of Ray as a potential future standout.
Last Tuesday against the Astros, Ray pitched 5 1/3 innings of five-hit, one-run ball. Sunday, he again gave fans reason to remember his name, regardless of when or where his next start will be.
"I don't know if I could ask for more," Ray said of his first week in the Majors. "Maybe a [complete game]."
It's unclear if Ray will have another opportunity to start for the big league club any time soon. He was inserted into the rotation due to Anibal Sanchez's lacerated finger, and Sanchez is aiming for a return on May 18 in Boston.
If Sanchez stays on target, which will be determined by his simulated game on Tuesday in Baltimore, Ray will either stick with the Tigers in the bullpen or head back to Triple-A Toledo to continue as a starter.
Ray said he'd be fine with either option, but Ausmus seemed to hint he'd rather see him making starts in the Minors.
"Generally speaking, if you want him to be a starter at the Major League level, he needs to pitch as a starter,"
Matt Slovin is an associate reporter for MLB.com.

Finally, no more vampire.
Breaking Dawn Part 2 will premier this week and marks the end of an era for pale vampires, screaming fans and Robert Pattinson as Posterboy. The 26 year old Brit does not seem bothered.
His post-Twilight parts, like the 9/11 drama Remember me and David Cronenbergs Cosmopolis suggested it already, Robert Pattinsons taste is more serious than the romantic adventures of bloodsucker Edward Cullen and his lover Bella.
"If I have something in common with Kristen? Oh. Uhm. Pfff. (long silence) I think I'm having a black-out (nervous laughter) Uhm, well. Pretty much. I don't know. In our work we have the same taste. What we think is important for instance, we always agree on. Also how we present ourselves in public"
"I'm not a fan of biting people, but I do see similarities with vampires. I don't like daytime very much, I prefer the night. I don't sleep much. I keep getting requests from 9-year olds if I want to bite them. But that's where the similiarities end."
"Putting on the vampire make-up wasn't that bad. I did hate the contact lenses. The benefits of the make-up is that my skin finally got taken care of properly. It got cleaned very thoroughly afterwards, while I usually just splash some water in my face."
"Everybody is always saying what a good boyfriend Edward is, but what he does is pretty standard, you know. If someone is trying to kill your lover, wouldn't you try to save her? I wonder what the boyfriends of all the female Twilght fans are like! Other than that I'm not that gallant. I always pour myself a glass of wine first."
"I want to be. This is how it goes for me: If I'm not happy with the shooting – pretty much every day – I try to make it up the next day, or even better. So I go home irritated almost every day. For years. Then I'm convinced I screwed up the entire year. I never think I'm good enough."
"I realize how immature I am, when I see Mackenzie (Foy, who plays Edward and Bella's daughter) working. She really looks up to Kristen, really thinks she's an example. And she thinks I am a weird guy. She told me in the first two weeks. But maybe it's because I play her teenage father. You should find your father a little weird, right? I can get pretty weird after a shot."
David Cronenberg
"It was great working with him on Cosmopolis. But we're talking about working together again. He gave me a script about child stars in Hollywood. Very funny, but also extremely dark. No idea when we're going to start, because I have a few other jobs first. But I can tell you I would do anyhting with him. All he has to do is call and I'll be there."
"I don't think I will miss the hysteria around the series. If Twilight happened twelve years ago, so befóre the smartphones and TMZ (celebrity gossipsite), I would have thought this was the most amazing experience ever. Look at Leonardo DiCaprio after Titanic. He was not followed by paparazzi. He could just chill somewhere with the Wu Tang Clan. How cool is that!? If you're launched as a star in this day and age, you're sucked into a vacuum. One photo can make or break you. Take Christian Bale. If you google him, you get to see the brawl on the set from Terminator. Why do those things get to be remembered? Weird."
Musical career
"Yeah, I'll wait with that for a while. It's a problem, because I'm in the spotlights now. If I release a single now, I'm sure people will tear it down. They feel it's inflicted. If I started as a musician, I would have known that the people who support you, actually like it."
"Of course I'm interested! I already looked at what might be interesting for me to play. But at the same time, I'm scared to death, because I have such a soft voice. I was in a play when I was eighteen, but I got fired because of my soft voice."
"People still don't know exactly who I am. Every time I meet a filmmaker to talk about a part, they say: You're not what I expected. I wonder what exactly they expected. But I'm not complaining. My carreer got a jump start and I'm enjoying it. I realize it can all end in a heartbeat. I don't have a free pass, I have to think about everything I do and success is not guaranteed. Even if I hadn't been in Twilight, I would have tried for the same roles as I did. Only the chance of getting the part would have been smaller. Thankfully the directors I work with don't cast actors because of their fame, but because they're good. That's why I'm glad I get to do audition instead of just being hired."

Zynga is in trouble. The maker of casual games like FarmVille and Mafia Wars tied itself tightly to Facebook, and as Facebook's platform strategy floundered, Zynga took on water. It now appears to be about to go down for the count.
To right the ship, Mark Pincus will be replaced by Don Mattrick, who is currently running Microsoft's Xbox business. Don must either be really well off or about to be canned at Microsoft, because the chances of Zynga pulling out of its dive at this point are slim or virtually non-existent.
Xbox One pre-orders are less than the PS4, which forced a late strategy change and likely would have put Mattrick on the short path to becoming an ex-Microsoft employee. Steve Ballmer, the guy running Microsoft, doesn't have the greatest patience when it comes to executives who don't perform or make big mistakes. Still, Xbox and Mattrick are a traditional console team, and this suggests Zynga could evolve into a console maker. The only thing is, I doubt it will work.
What's the plan?
What I expect Mattrick will be doing – because I've seen this before – is execute a strategy he wanted to execute at Microsoft, likely one Steve Ballmer blocked. Often in companies like Microsoft, there are disagreements between the unit head and the head of the company. These days, Ballmer is increasingly stepping in and making sure what he wants done is done. Just because he is the most powerful guy in the company doesn't mean he is right, and Mattrick's strategy with the Xbox One to aggressively protect game developer revenues (which was reversed after gamers revolted) would have been very attractive to developers. You need developers for a new console. Microsoft is now left with gamers who are less excited about the new console because of what Microsoft was going to do, and developers who were excited, but lost some enthusiasm because of Microsoft's backpedaling.
So Mattrick's plan will likely be to build a console where developers are well protected, with Zynga being the lead game developer for the platform. It's not that dissimilar to what Microsoft did with Bungie and Halo: Take (or in Microsoft's case buy) a young game developer, build a platform that's friendlier than the competition, and then bring the result to market. (Granted, Zynga would still need a game like Halo to pull this off.)
A sliver of hope
On the positive side, this console market is left a lot of openings for something new. The PS3 started off badly, and despite decent sales that finally brought it into an almost exact tie with the Xbox 360, Sony is still far behind in the U.S. Nintendo proved to be a flash in the pan and couldn't sustain its success with the Wii, but it did provide an unprecedented opportunity for a new platform to emerge. We even have decent networking performance and technologies like Nvidia's Grid platform, so Zynga could do hosted gaming and create a compelling console experience for under $100 (OnLive's similar console sold for under $100).
The console market is relatively weak, and technologies exist that could allow a new company to enter it with a box that costs a fraction of what the Xbox One or PS4 will.
But there's plenty more to deal with
To unseat Sony from its console throne, Microsoft spent billions, and it took two generations of hardware (and Sony's screw-up with the PS3) to allow it to sneak ahead. Zynga doesn't have that kind of cash. In addition, Nvidia is entering the market with its own console, Shield, in a few months, and Google has one coming to market as well. Both of these companies (but especially Google) can easily out-resource Zynga. Worse, Sony appears to be strengthening, and Microsoft still has a massive war chest to fight big battles like this. And Steve Ballmer won't take kindly to an ex-executive trying to prove him wrong. In short, Zynga is overmatched by pretty much everyone.
Worse, Sony appears to be strengthening, and Microsoft still has a massive war chest to fight big battles like this.
Granted, if Zynga can follow the recent success of the Ouya and offer a console priced around $100, and create a Halo-like title, that might not matter. Gamers will chase quality games, but the likelihood of coming up with a title in this class, particularly on Zynga's budget, aren't good. And the company doesn't have unlimited time to do it.
Wrapping Up: Pulling a Steve Jobs
Mattrick is going to try to emulate Steve Jobs' Apple turnaround. Zynga is actually in better shape than Apple was when Steve took over that company, but Mattrick is also no Steve Jobs. You could count the number of Apple-style turnarounds we've seen on one hand … and have four fingers left over. This will be one of the most difficult turnarounds ever attempted. I seriously doubt Mattrick can pull this off alone, and his success may lay with whoever he partners with, or whether the company is acquired by a backer with the funding to assure success. In the end, there is clearly room for another compelling gaming solution; I just doubt Zynga has the resources to pull it off.

Physics Students Plan 'Explosive' Demo
March 11, 2011
The Society of Physics Students at Wabash College will be presenting its annual Physics Demo Show on Wednesday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m. in Ball Theater of the Fine Arts Center.
The event is free and open to people of all ages, and will feature lasers, explosions, and dazzling demonstrations of the laws of physics.
"We will be repeating some of the coolest demos from previous years, plus adding some brand-new, never-been-seen-before (at Wabash) demonstrations," said Assistant Professor of Physics Martin Madsen. "Sure, you can see most of it on YouTube, but you really have to see these things live and in person. We're talking fire, lasers, smashing things, and other cool physics experiments."
The students' demonstrations will feature a 5-gallon vacuum can crusher, a laser beam that explodes balloons, a bed of nails, and a pendulum that uses bowling balls.
Other fun demonstrations include:
Vortex Cannon — This device creates a "cloud" or "smoke ring" that travels at tremendous speed and is capable of knocking over large objects or blowing up smaller things.
Viscoelastic Fluid — We don't know what the Society of Physics Students intends to do with this, but in essence, Viscoelastic Fluid is one "that behaves as solid and as well as liquid too. It has elastic nature it will regain back when applied stress is removed," according to Wikipedia.
Gauss Gun — Credited to Carl Friedrich Gauss, this device projectile accelerator that uses coils as electromagnets to generate velocity.
Van de Graaff Ball — This is that big, aluminum ball that makes your hair stand up straight.
A generator powers up a few thousand volts, while the nearby ball is at zero volts — but the electric field between the two is large enough to create an arc that will make your hair stand on end.
Rocket Sled — This is "a test platform that slides down a set of rails and is propelled by rockets," according to Wikipedia. We're not sure what the SPS students are going to project, but we did find a
Mythbusters video
that is pretty explosive.

As four-time defending champion in the Friends Schools League and winner of six of the last seven field hockey titles in the FSL, Shipley School seemed likely to provide a tough out-of-conference challenge for host Penn Charter last Friday afternoon.
However, longtime Shipley mainstay Avery Safford has moved on to the University of Richmond, and when the regrouping Gators (2-4 overall) arrived at PC last week, they were also missing two current starters and three reserve players who had all come down with a bug making its away around the school.
With the host Quakers in fine fettle, the contest was not close, as Charter built a 5-0 halftime lead en route to a 9-0 victory. With two goals apiece, senior Katy Decker and sophomore Avery Shoemaker topped a list of seven scorers for PC, which improved to 5-2 overall while remaining 1-1 within the Girls Inter-Ac League. Shoemaker had recorded a hat trick in the Quakers' 3-1 win over Lawrenceville two days earlier.
Charter had opened its Girls Inter-Ac season the previous week, beating 2011 league cellar-dweller Baldwin School, but then dropping a 3-1 decision to Agnes Irwin on September 14.
After the Irwin game, related PC coach Channing Weymouth, "We concentrated on off-ball movement, off-ball positioning, and overall teamwork. We focused on our offense and defense in the circle, our actual stance, and getting quick shots. We worked with our post players on their reflexes and finishing the ball."
Shoemaker, who often is stationed near the left goalpost, helped get the Quakers back on track with her midweek performance against Lawrenceville. Next up was Shipley, another non-league opponent but one that usually appears on Penn Charter's schedule.
"The girls were just fired up for a good Friday game, and Shipley beat us last year, so we had that incentive," Weymouth explained.
Aggressive from the get-go, the Quakers made their first notch on the scoreboard just over two minutes into the action, when senior Anna Wills settled a pass from sophomore Tara Murphy and drilled a shot from high in the circle. On a PC penalty corner less than three minutes later, Shoemaker inserted the ball from the left and then gravitated towards the near post. Receiving the ball near the top of the scoring loop, senior Katherine O'Donnell took a few dribbles back down towards the goal and then sent a drive towards the left side of the cage, where Shoemaker was waiting for the tip-in.
The count rose to 3-0 with 21:32 still to go in the first half. Another Charter corner did not immediately produce a shot, but the Quakers kept the ball in the circle and from the midst of melee in front of the cage O'Donnell banged the ball home.
"Katherine had a great game today," Weymouth stated. "She did a good job distributing the ball in the midfield. We had been focusing on distributing the ball quickly, and she did that well."
The scoreboard got a bit of a breather, then the hosts added two more points in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Both came courtesy of Decker, and on both shots the senior was assisted by sophomore Sofia Toso. With the margin now up to five goals, there was a running clock for the rest of the game, without the usual stoppages for scoring.
In the second half the Gators were still unable to snap the shutout, but they did prevent PC from doing further damage for the first dozen minutes or so. The hit parade resumed when Layne Wolfington made it 6-0 with under 17 minutes left to play, and her sophomore classmate Grace Harbision harvested the next point for the home team.
With Shoemaker sinking her second goal and senior Claudia Stedman joining the list of scorers, the final tally was on the board with 7:29 remaining in the game. The clock was down to 3:10 when Shipley earned its first corner of the day, and Quakers goalie Emily Ominsky recorded both of her two saves during that final stretch. Ominsky had entered the game at halftime, after her 10th-grade classmate Kennedy Kline went through the first period without having to make a stop.
Everyone on PC's varsity squad was able to get onto the field, giving Weymouth a chance to see her least-experienced players in a true game situation.
She pointed out, "We want them to use those opportunities to gain a better understanding of what we're trying to do as a full team on the field, as well as working on their actual stick skills and footwork."
First-year assistant coach Therese Doyle, a former Merion Mercy Academy and St. Joseph's University standout, commented "All of the girls have come a long way in terms of working together as a team, and we want to keep progressing in that area."

While filming Blade Runner, actress Sean Young (a.k.a. Rachael the replicant) took these charming Polaroid shots of the cast and crew goofing around. They're like Hipstamatic shots of C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
You can see many more at Young's website. Also, here's her Super 8 footage of the filming of Dune (if you haven't seen that yet).

San Jose Olympian Eric Guerrero never gave up on the wrestling mat when becoming a three-time state champion at Independence High School.
His persistence carried over to Oklahoma State where he won three NCAA titles and when he competed in the 2004 Athens Games.
So don't expect the Cowboys' assistant head coach to go quietly in the wake of the International Olympic Committee's recent decision to drop wrestling from the 2020 Games.
"Something is wrong and the public needs to take notice," Guerrero said in a telephone interview. "They are trying to take people's dreams. And you can't take people's dreams when it's not justified."
Guerrero joined a chorus of dissent in the wake of the IOC executive committee's secret ballot that picked modern pentathlon over wrestling as one of 25 core Olympic sports.
Wrestling is one of eight sports that will lobby the IOC executive committee in May to try to gain entrance into the 2020 Olympics at a city yet to be named. The full IOC membership will make its final decision in September.
The other candidates are karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding, wushu (Chinese martial arts) and the combination of baseball and softball, which are attempting to re-enter the Olympics as one entry. Golf and "sevens" rugby have been added to the menu for the Rio Games in 2016.
Wrestling featured 344 athletes competing in 11 medal events in freestyle and seven in Greco-Roman at the 2012 London Olympics. Russia dominated the podium with Iran and Azerbaijan.
According to news reports wrestling ranked low in several of the technical criteria that were used to determine which sport to keep. That included popularity in London where wrestling sold 113,851 tickets out of 116,854 available.
Wrestling also ranked low in global television audience with a maximum of 58.5 million viewers and an average of 23 million.
Guerrero begs to differ.
The international wrestling federation FILA has 177 member nations, compared to 108 for modern pentathlon. Wrestlers from 71 countries competed in London while modern pentathlon had competitors from 26 nations.
"Modern pentathlon had about 12 million" TV viewers, Guerrero said. "We doubled their viewership and we doubled their national governing bodies.
"Were we as popular as beach volleyball in terms of television? No. But we did well with the time slots we were given."
The coach said it just doesn't add up.
"The Olympics are supposed to be about two things: inclusion and fair play," Guerrero said. "They went against both of those things in this decision."
IOC Vice President Thomas Bach of Germany said the motivation is never based on a single reason.
"There will always be criticism, but I think the great majority will understand that we took a decision based on facts and for the modernization of the Olympic Games," he told reporters.
Guerrero has coached at Oklahoma State since retiring after the Athens Games. He mentored Daniel Cormier, the 2008 Olympic freestyle captain who now is a UFC heavyweight based in San Jose. Guerrero also coached Coleman Scott, a bronze medalist in 132-pound class in London.
"And I plan on coaching Olympians in 2016 and 2020," he said. "I plan on winning this."

text: Wisconsin Has Resources Available for Challenged Livestock Feed Supplies July 22, 2013 07:57 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email The state is opening selected lands for haying and grazing and encouraging farmers with excess feed and forage to offer it to others on the UW Extension's Farmer-to-Farmer website. A combination of excessive rains, thawing and refreezing this past winter plus last month's heavy rains and floods have made livestock feed and forage locally unavailable in some parts of Wisconsin. What can be harvested is often of poor nutritional quality. That's why the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) urges farmers in areas hit by winterkill and the flooding in June to take advantage of the various services offered. "Just as we did last summer during the drought, state agencies are working together to assist farmers in dealing with their feed and forage challenges brought on by this year's weather conditions," said DATCP Secretary Ben Brancel. "The DNR is opening selected state-owned lands for haying and grazing and we encourage individual farmers who may have more feed and forage than they might need to offer it to others on the UW Extension's Farmer-to-Farmer website." The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff has identified nearly 5,300 acres of hay that could be made available but only in counties where Governor Scott Walker declared a state of emergency as a result of flooding in June and the counties where USDA has declared a natural disaster as a result of winterkill. Individual farmers will be limited to 20 acres on a first come-first serve basis. The harvest window on these selected state-owned lands is August 10 for prairie grasses and August 30 for cool season grasses. You can get details on how to sign up for this harvest by calling the DNR at 1-888-936-7463, seven days a week from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. or searching the DNR web sitefor key words "hay harvest." The Farmer-to-Farmer network exchange for feed and forage can be found at this address. The idea is to put Wisconsin farmers in touch with one another for the purpose of buying and/or selling hay and other forage crops. It costs nothing to list what feed you may have available. "This service of the UW-Extension was a helpful tool during last summer's drought and can be useful again now in helping affected farmers meet their weather related feed challenges," added Brancel. As always, DATCP's Wisconsin Farm Center is available to answer questions and connect farmers with available resources. Farm Center staff can assist with financial planning, help mediate with creditors and provide referrals to counseling services. The Farm Center services are free and available weekdays from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 1-800-942-2474 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Back to news

Workout 10/02/13: noon
by, October 2nd, 2013 at 01:20 PM (781 Views)
Well, OW swim was scrubbed.
Oh well, I really appreciate that Greg was up to paddling for me, even though he didn't have to
So, I went to the Rec and did:
200 Fr/200 Bk/200 IM drill/4 x 50 burst and cruise on 1:00
4 x 200 on 2:40 pull with snorkel and agility paddles
4 x 100 on 1:50 (odds = kick, evens = back)
4 x 200 on 3:00 (1st 50 stroke, IMO by rep)
200 float and out
(Solo/Rec/300 yds/60 min)
Made the first round of 200's, then started to feel less than wonderful and decided to get out even though I had an extra 15 minutes to play with.
Looks like the tentative date for New England SCM champs at BU is 12/13-15, and I have to work. Will try to swap a weekend, but that will not be easy so close to Christmas.

Triad_jgl needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
enrich (we are open to any form of capitalization of the word)
"enrich" is about the power of personal financial freedom. The logo is for a book that empowers readers to open their own low cost business. Book Details: We provide real-life examples of what to do and what not to do based on our own (often humorous) experience, as well as detailed analysis of options available to a first time entrepreneur. More than an instruction manual, our book is being written to inspire people to take control of their own financial freedom - without breaking the bank to start. Logo will be used for book cover, all marketing, and website!
Our target audience is the general public! We are providing information on ANYONE who wants take control of their own financial situation and MAKE THEMSELVES MONEY! Be they old or young, employed or not - we want to give anyone interested the knowledge and confidence to take matters into their own hands.
The logo we envision will be simple, clear, and concise. We are open to text and image together - our original idea was the first two letters (en) as text with the "RICH" embossed on a gold bar. Sounds kind of cheesy, I know, but we are writers not designers! :) We are VERY open to any creative ideas that you may have.
Images: Please do not use any clip art or stock images. Also, we would prefer if no cartoons or childish characters were used. We are open to metaphorical images of money, prosperity, and/or business; and the use of humor in the design is completely acceptable as long as it doesn't go overboard or alienate a portion of the audience.
Color: We are open to color for the text and/or image. Our only request is that the colors not be too fancy or extravagant (no neon pink please), not feminine (we want to appeal to both male and female customers), and that there not be too many colors (printing costs are a consideration). We would also like the logo to be able to be viewed/utilized in black/white - so any offered designs must be clear and attractive in both color and black/white.
We are looking for a logo that is clear and can be utilized in both small and large sizes (think thumbnail, book cover, to large poster or flier). Clarity of the image(s) or text is imperative.
Format requirements:
.ai, .jpg, and .png images (the image has to be vector based)

The show, taped in Hampton, Virginia, opened with the Abraham Washington Show. Washington ridiculed Tony
Atlas as he rambled about his Thanksgiving. Washington then told us all about his Thanksgiving as this segment has already gone on too long. Washington then cracked on the crowd for a bit before bringing out Zack Ryder and Rosa Mendes.
Ryder began by reading Rosa a poem. And Rosa read Zack a poem, which was written in total valley girl style. Ryder then began jumping up and down on the couch, ala Tom Cruise, as the segment mercifully ended. This was one of the worst Washington shows to date which says a lot.
Backstage, Regal and Jackson apologized to each other for last week. Jackson was saying that he would never apologize to Kozlov. At that point, Kozlov walked in and the two big men had a stare down as Regal tried to play mediator.
Goldust v. William Regal
Goldust started with a suplex and sent Regal to the floor. Back inside, Goldust used an atomic drop. And set up for the shattered dreams, but Regal stepped away. Regal hit a big boot and asserted control. Regal used a couple of knee drops to the back of the head and a neck vise. Goldust made a brief comeback with a couple of clotheslines, but Regal turned it back around with a suplex off of a distraction from the outside. As Regal setup for the knee trembler, Jackson and Kozlov began shouting and shoving each other on the outside. Regal began to admonish both men, which allowed Goldust to come from behind with a rollup for the victory.
Goldust d. Regal, Pin, 4:11,
Backstage, the Burchills were asking Tiffany for their job back. Tiffany reiterated that the stipulation must stand. Trent Baretta and Caylen Croft walked in and said they were the tag team that would change the world. Croft used a weird metaphor saying they were going to make Tiffany look like Stephen Hawking; a genius. They should have used Lanny Poffo's name instead.
Trent Baretta & Caylen Croft v. Tyler Hilton & Bobby Shields
In the superficial world of WWE, it doesn't bode well for the newcomers that their bodies and physiques do not stand out from those of the job guys. Baretta & Croft started with a double gutbuster After a bit of garden variety wrestling, they finished with a combination of an inverted atomic drop followed by a flying knee. That's a different
finisher if nothing else.
Beretta & Croft squash, 2:23.
Backstage, Savannah interviewed Vance Archer. They interrupted his dull promo periodically with quick cuts to highlights of his squash wins. The gist of his promo was that he was in no rush to get to the top, but was enjoying putting together a body of work. I hope this doesn't mean we are in for more squashes.
Shelton Benjamin & Christian v. Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson
Shelton and Christian took the early advantage, using speed moves to work around Jackson. But Jackson caught Shelton on the apron and propelled him off and into the guardrail as the match went to an early commercial break. After the break, Jackson was holding Shelton with a waist lock on the canvas. Shelton fought his way up and into the corner where he simultaneously tagged out and hit a moonsault off of the middle rope. Jackson no sold the first move, but Christian came in with a crossbody which put Jackson down. The champion then knocked Kozlov off of the apron. Jackson then came back with a pair of body slams. He then tagged in Kozlov for this first time in the match. Kozlov caught a short knee from Christian but managed to slam the champion off of the middle rope. That got a two count. He then tagged out to Jackson again. After another rest hold, Christian teased a comeback but Jackson overpowered him with a shoulder block. As the referee was busy with Shelton, Regal rammed Christian into the ring post. Kozlov tagged himself in as Jackson was using a chin lock in his own corner. Kozlov connected with a snap mare for a two count. Kozlov then went to work in the corner with strikes until Christian surprised him with a tornado DDT. Both men rolled over to their corners looking for a tag. Christian tagged out to Shelton but Jackson left Kozlov hanging. Shelton hit a Stinger splash from behind and then the pay dirt to pick up the victory. You just cannot have much of a match with Jackson and Kozlov as their limitations force them to stay on offense for 90% of the match. There, their limited move set exposes them after very little time as there are only so many punches, stomps and body slams you can see before growing bored.
Christian & Benjamin d. Jackson & Kozlov, Pin, 11:21, *½.
This was one of the weaker ECWs of late, as it had atypically no good matches and the only purpose of the show was to draw out the infighting between the Ruthless Roundtable. They didn't even make much of an effort to promote the Christian - Shelton Benjamin ladder match, which draws a lot more interest.

The states participating in the first-in-the-nation cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gases conducted their fourth regional auction of carbon allowances on, June 17, raising $104.2 million for investment in the clean energy economy.
Under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), these 10 partnering states hold quarterly allowance auctions and invest the proceeds in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other programs that benefit energy consumers and create green jobs.
All of the 30,887,620 allowances for the 2009 vintage offered in the latest auction sold at a price of $3.23. Potomac Economics, the RGGI independent market monitor, found participation in the 2009 offering to be robust with 54 separate entities submitting bids to purchase 2.6 times the available supply of 2009 allowances. Compliance entities and their affiliates purchased 85 percent of the 2009 allowances offered.
In a parallel offering, the RGGI states also auctioned allowances for the second three-year control period beginning Jan. 1, 2012. All of the 2,172,540 allowances for the 2012 vintage sold at a price of $2.06 with 13 entities submitting bids to purchase 1.5 times the available supply of 2012 allowances. Compliance entities and their affiliates purchased 81 percent of the 2012 allowances offered.
"RGGI's reliable auction process continues to set an example for the nation," said Pete Grannis, commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and chair of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Inc. Board of Directors.
The states have now auctioned more than 110 million allowances and raised a total of $366.5 million since the first RGGI auction in September of 2008. The states are investing RGGI proceeds in energy efficiency, renewable energy, technology development, and other consumer benefit programs. Overall, the states are investing the vast majority of proceeds in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Across the region, state energy efficiency programs are engaging municipalities, electric utilities, homeowners, businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Funds are being used to weatherize low-income homes, hire and train energy efficiency auditors, deploy combined heat and power and district heating and cooling systems, subsidize energy efficiency improvements for small businesses, educate contractors about energy efficiency and other initiatives.

Garage Magazine's "Inked" Spread
It's no surprise there's tons of buzz surrounding the September 5th launch of Garage magazine. How does one not write about a Dasha Zhukova project that features Damien Hirst's art on a young model's vagina -- tattooed by Mo Coppoletta, no less?
Timed perfectly for NY Fashion Week, The NY Times describes the debut issue as "one of the most intriguing magazines to come along in years, it is not entirely clear whether this is a fashion magazine that takes more than a passing interest in art, or an art magazine that knows its stuff about fashion."
The magazine seems to know its stuff about tattoos as well, commissioning renowned tattooists Mike Rubendall in New York and Lindsey Carmichael in California to work with Coppoletta in London on the "Inked" spread of black and white portraits (photographed by Hedi Slimane) featuring "willing canvases" and their new tattoo work.
Such work includes Rubendall's execution of Jeff Koons art (shown below) and Carmichael's lettering of John Baldessari's "I will not wear any more boring tattoos." Coppoletta also tattooed a Dinos Chapman design on Dinos himself: a pointed hand etching with the words "I'm with this idiot" underneath. [The high art ironic tattoo will no doubt be big in Brooklyn in about five seconds.]
View the full tattoo spread in this Daily Beast gallery.
The genital ink, however, has kept Coppoletta most busy with the press. Even the New York Post hit him up for details in an article that also quotes the proud owner of the tattoo saying:
I would have been stupid not to be part of this project. I have a piece of art on my vagina. Not one single person can ever say they gave birth through a Damien Hirst piece of art. I can [if I ever give birth].The article further states that she threw a garden party in honor of her new vagina.
I too contacted Coppoletta for more info, and here's what he said:
The magazine informed me that Damien had handpicked me for this project and I agreed to take it on. I was curious about the design to be submitted, and on receiving it, we began to bounce the design backward and forwards until the final draft was agreed.When asked about the challenges of tattooing genitals, he said that there were no special techniques he used on that type of skin, and that the difficulty really lies in reach and body positioning.
On one of the Garage magazine covers, the actual tattoo is obscured with a peel-away butterfly sticker, a nod to the Warhol banana sticker on The Velvet Underground & Nico album. Nevertheless, it's already being banned by WHSmith booksellers. The two other covers are a sketch of Richard Prince's smiling tattoo design, and a Nick Knight photo of Dinos Chapman's dollhouse complete with Lily Donaldson puppet. See them on High Snobiety.
Looking forward to getting my hands on all three next week. Garden party to follow.

Assisted-Living Resident Found in Filth
CHISHOLM (AP) - State health officials say a vulnerable adult is recovering from neglect after he was found in filthy conditions at an assisted-living facility in Chisholm.
The Minnesota Department of Health has cited Hillcrest Terrace for failing to recognize the man's health had deteriorated. Ambulance crew members say the resident was found unconscious in a room that had mold, smelled strongly of urine and had no bed sheets. A health department report says the man was suffering from critically low blood sugar due to diabetes and a urinary tract infection.
Hillcrest is owned by Range Development Co. The owner's attorney, Steve Laitinen, says the company does not comment on a particular resident's care and treatment.
The case has been referred to the St. Louis County attorney's office for review of possible charges.

Wrap yourself up…
Our four night Christmas break.
Spend Christmas at Watergate Bay. The tree will be up, the log fire will be crackling and you will be able to rely on the weather – it'll be bracing. But the pool will be inviting and the welcome will be warm.
Monday 23 December
Shopping. Tick. That's it. It's time to drop your bags and put your feet up. Or go for a stroll along the beach. Or have a dip in the pool. Or treat yourself to a treatment. Or have a spin in the cardio room. Take a nap? Whatever. Today is for mulled wine and making it up as you go along, welcome to Watergate Bay. The kids will be happy with Christmas crafts, games, carol singing and cake. Dinner is a choice between an Italian affair at Fifteen Cornwall or contemporary British flavours in Zacry's.
Christmas Eve
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Snow isn't guaranteed, but sand is a given. Swap the sledge for a surfboard and try a surf lesson on us. Surf lessons and sports hire from the Extreme Academy is available all day, as are lots of activities for the kids, indoors and out. For that cosy alpine feel take a dip in the cliff top hot tub. Back indoors there will be bubbly, early evening carols and canapés around the tree, you might even spot Father Christmas. Dinner in Zacry's, or Fifteen Cornwall if you didn't go the night before, and laid-back entertainment in The Living Space.
Christmas Day
Push the boat out with a Champagne breakfast. Christmas lunch is a festive feast. We'll peel the spuds and light the candles. You turn up and pull the crackers. Later, a walk on the beach will work wonders. Or find the fire, a book, and a footstool in Swim Club. For kids, there will be lots of new things to do. In the evening, there's a buffet supper in The Living Space.
Boxing Day
After a leisurely brunch you can gather for our legendary family challenge. Go body boarding with the Extreme Academy, while the pool, with its view, is going nowhere. Take time over tea, linger over dinner in Zacry's and then decamp, if you like, to The Living Space. The entertainment will be relaxed and fun.
Friday 27 December
To make your final day lasting, rise early, wrap up warm and stimulate the senses outside. Then bring on breakfast – make it big, make it waffles! And catch up with friends and family by the pool.
To make a booking for Christmas 2019, please contact our reservations team on

I trust you all enjoyed Thanksgiving with your families. With Christmas fast approaching, followed by the Super Bowl, it is time to forget about the Jets, Giants, Knicks and Nets, and focus on hockey and the upcoming baseball season.
The spring training countdown begins at the conclusion of the Super Bowl. With that, I'll take a look at what I consider the Mets' top five issues entering the season.
If you disagree, and that's the point of this exercise, I would be interested to hear your issues.
1. DAVID WRIGHT'S HEALTH: I touched on this the other day, and rank it first because it is the lead domino. If Wright returns to All-Star status it alleviates a lot of pressure from the offense. It takes away a potential distraction and goes a long way toward making the Mets whole.
2. MATT HARVEY'S RETURN: If not Wright, then it has to be Harvey's return from Tommy John surgery. The Mets have to handle him with kid gloves whether he likes it or not. There will be an innings limit, which has yet to be disclosed which figures to become an issue.
3. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BULLPEN: For as long as Sandy Alderson has been here, building the bullpen has been a major issue. With Bobby Parnell's injury, the Mets went with a patchwork bullpen last year that saw the emergence of Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia. Manager Terry Collins said the job is Parnell's when he returns, but that's premature. Let Parnell ease into form. As of now, Mejia, Familia, Parnell and Vic Black bring a lot of heat from the sixth through ninth innings. The Mets need another lefty to complement Josh Edgin and there's a need to bring back Carlos Torres.
4. THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF JACOB deGROM AND ZACK WHEELER: The Mets claim their foundation is young pitching, which means they need an encore year from deGrom and Wheeler to pitch up to expectations. For Wheeler, that means lowering his pitch count and giving the Mets depth. It can't all be Harvey.
5. WILMER FLORES' ABILITY TO TAKE TO SHORTSTOP: Let's face it, the Mets aren't going to land a marquee shortstop, either through trade or free agency. It is time to see if Flores can produce. This should he his shot.

Ridgecrest City Council announced that Dennis Speer would be selected as to permanently fill the city manager's position – with one caveat.
Ridgecrest City Council announced that Dennis Speer would be selected as to permanently fill the city manager's position – with one caveat.
According to City Attorney Keith Lemieux, Speer still needs to review the agreement before it has been signed and the council can approve an at-will contract between the two parties.
Speer indicated that the past few weeks had not afforded him the time to look at the agreement, in large part due to meetings.
Speer has served as interim city manager since Aug. 2012 when the previous one, Kurt Wilson, left after two years to take a position as deputy city manager in Stockton.
Speer filled the position in addition to his role as the city's public works director.
When Speer officially steps into the role at a future date, he will also be continuing his role as public works director.
"For the time being Mr. Speer will continue those duties as the city cannot afford to replace that position just yet," Lemieux said. "But the goal is to as expressed by the city council would be to have that position filled as soon as it was financially viable."
The city forewent a decision to recruit a permanent replacement through a corporate firm, instead relying on more traditional avenues like advertising in professional journals and newspapers.
Lemieux said that Speer's position would be based on a salary of $158,000 per year to begin.
Resident Al Huey, while commending the council's selection of Speer, criticized the salary given the city's current austere budget situation.
Lemieux said that Speer was making a lot less than Wilson while wearing an additional hat as public works director.
"For what it's worth the city is getting more value and bang for the buck," Lemieux said.
Resident Michael Neel commended the council on the decision.
"I really appreciate this decision and I think you got the best man for the job," Neel said. "Congratulations."
Following the meeting, Speer confirmed that it was not yet official until the paperwork was signed.
"I think it is an awesome responsibility and I do hope to live up to their expectations" Speer said. "Playing this dual role as City Manager and Public Works Director is primarily a cost-saving reason. We are going to continue that until our heads are above water."

Re: My Feature Requests
Hi Jon,
I like ViEmu more and more. You did (do) a good job.
But after playing a couple of weeks with it I start to miss some features.
Well, here is my personal list of feature requests. The list is fairly
complete. Not all of the feature requests are new - for some I found
requests in the forum archive - but nevertheless, perhaps mentioning
them again raises priority... ;-)
The list is sorted from missing extremely to missing:
- Virtual edit: Allows to move cursor over the end of a line in visual and normal
mode. In insert mode this works already (I suppose since VS does it, if enabled).
I don't like the nervous jumping of the cursor when scrolling up or down.
This makes me nervous too. The life of a programmer is hard enough. I really
do not need a cursor which jumps from left to right and right to left ....
just in front of my nose. It's enough if the customer changes requirements in
the same frequency as the cursor jumps when scrolling up/down. So please
please please please add support of virtual editing. I will pay the
update price just for this feature.
(Hmmmm, perhaps the customer's requirements become more stable if the
cursor is more stable? Perhaps this relationship is an unknown law of
nature? Implement it to get out and perhaps someday you will get the
Nobel price. Perhaps not 42 is the answer... but virtual edit. )
(in vim see :help 'virtualedit')
- In the status line of ViEmu the current cursor position is shown (line and column).
This is ok so far. In addition Vim can show the number of visually selected characters
or the number of visually selected lines.
This is very very useful if you want to measure something, e.g. the length
of a string or the number of lines of a text extract or whatever.
Since I have found this feature in vim I never have counted how many characters
a string has.
E.g.: "bla bla bla bla bla and bla and once more and bla again"
I just move the cursor over the string and press vi" and vim shows me 55.
(oh my goodness, I don't want to know how many ViEmu'ler now start to count
the number of characters in this example to see if vim is correct ;-) ).
Whether vim shows the number of selected characters or the number of selected
lines depends on the type of selection: If characters within a single line
are selected vim shows the number of selected characters. If more than one
line is selected vim shows the number of selected lines.
- As I mentioned already in another thread: An undo with a higher granularity
would be very welcome. In best case an undo like Vim 7 provides.
- Start scrolling before the cursor reaches end or start of screen.
This way some context is visible around the cursor while scrolling.
Very helpful.
(in vim see :help 'scrolloff')
- Support to map a key sequence, not just a single character.
- Support emulation of ":set selection=inclusive"
ViEmu: If the visual block mode is entered (ctrl-v) you have to press
cursor right/left two times to select two columns.
Vim (default): When pressing right/left once after entering visual
the second column is selected.
(in vim see :help selection)
- Support confirm flag in substitute commands. If this flag is set,
ViEmu asks whether the current match should be replaced or not.
(in vim see :help :s_flags)
- Support ctrl-A and ctrl-X: Increase and decrease the number under
the cursor.
- Support ctrl-Y in insert mode: Insert the character which is above
the cursor.
Jon, what are your thoughts?
Any chance to implement (some, all) of these features someday?
