Visible Gold In Hole MG1221
MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK--(Marketwire - Dec. 28, 2012) - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SXL)(OTCBB:SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to report preliminary results for 9 additional diamond drill holes completed at its wholly owned Menneval gold project in New Brunswick. Holes MG1215 to MG1223 all intersected a mineralized quartz vein at hole depths ranging from 6 m to 29 m. The drilled thickness of the vein intercepts range from 0.1 m to 0.5 m.
Assays are pending on holes MG1201 to MG1223. A small fleck of visible gold occurs in a 0.2 m core interval of quartz vein intersected at a depth of 15.9 m in hole MG1221. This gold-bearing hole is located 250 m west of hole MG1201 which also contains visible gold close to the original discovery site of the Maisie zone. The collar data is summarized in the following table:
After MG1223, the drilled moved 200 m east to line 4360E for hole MG1224, a 20 m step-out designed to test the zone between MG1206 and MG1201. The 50 hole drilling program continues to trace the Maisie Zone on a pattern designed to delineate a potential near surface resource that would be amenable to open pit mining methods. A 40 x 20 m grid has been established to provide spatial control for the drilling sites. The target vein and control grid are shown on a map at http://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/menneval. The Company reported numerous sites of visible gold and bonanza grade assays uncovered as it traced the vein system over a 700 m strike length.
Qualifying Statements: SLAM Project Manager Sara Lloyd, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. Samples were sent to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario to analyze by fire assay with AA finish followed by fire assay with gravimetric finish for gold values above 3.0 g/t.

One of my biggest frustrations with school is how much time it takes up. My oldest chose to remain in school, and I haven't managed to support him on any self-led projects on nights and weekends, which fly by so quickly. The school describes its curriculum as "project-based," but their definition and implementation is somewhat different than mine. Recently, my son completed a school project on organic farming. The curriculum is pre-planned, and my son chose the topic from a pre-set list. The projects had certain requirements—for instance, each student had to interview someone local pertaining to their topic, asking at least five questions. Interviewing somebody is great—if the student decides that's the best way to get information that otherwise is unavailable. But assigning an interview takes away so much of the learning process…What do I want to know? How can I find it out? What resources are available to me? Instead, it seems like somebody else decided fifth graders should interview "experts."
Several weeks ago, my son and I had a conversation that went something like this:
Him: I think I want to make a movie for my project representation.
Me: That sounds cool. None of us have experience with that. Can Miss [x] mentor you as you figure out how to do that? [Because that is what is supposed to happen in project-based learning; the student has a mentor.]
Him: I don't know. I think there's a video camera I can borrow?
Me: That's a start. Do you have an idea of how you want your movie to be?
Him: Well, I want to start with a scene of fields, you know, with the crops.
Me: Okay. It's December, though. You won't be able to film that here, unless you're okay with, you know, dead-looking fields.
Him: But that's not what I want.
Me: Could you draw a background for that, maybe? Or perhaps try stop-motion? I can show you some examples.
Him, beginning to sound frustrated: I don't have a lot of time to figure all that out! Maybe I'll just do a poster.
Me, after a long thinking pause: I can understand, given that you have a deadline for this, why you would want to do a poster. I won't think less of you if you do. But it makes me sad that you have an idea and don't feel you have the time or support at school to see it through. I'll do whatever I can to mentor you, if you want to try a movie. I hope, if you don't do a movie for this project, we can come back to it when you have more time to dig into it.
And we left it there, for the most part. It seemed my son had decided on a poster. He let me know the materials he'd need (my role in his homework is mainly procuring supplies when necessary). For Christmas, we gave him the book Unbored, which I'd hoped to look through myself, but I can't get it out of his hands! After his first day back at school, he told me he was going to do a movie after all. Unbored has a chapter on stop-motion, he told me, and now he had a better idea of what he needed. Awesome, I said. Make a list, and a storyboard. A storyboard? "Draw out each scene—figure out what you want to show and say. Then you can figure out what props you need."
And this he did, in detail. After looking at his storyboard, I pointed out that it didn't seem stop-motion would work, but perhaps a series of photographs? He brainstormed props. I thought I remembered a Duplo farm set…we checked his sister's LEGOS and yes, indeed, she has not only a bus and a mailman but a farmer with flowers, a chicken, a pig, and a tractor. He received her permission to borrow her farm LEGOS. He figured out solutions for his other scenes—he transformed a bottle of spray fixative into a pesticide bottle by drawing a new label. We added an acorn and butternut squash to the shopping list. He painted grains of rice black, to represent harmful insects on the plants. We lucked out with a sunny Sunday afternoon, he set up each scene in natural light, took multiple shots, and chose the best ones.
I'd have liked to set him loose to figure out Movie Maker on his own, but given the time constraints, I tried to figure out the basics ahead of time so I could help him. Together, we added his photos, edited the duration of each shot, and recorded his narration, which had to be matched to each scene just so. He typed up the title and credits, and we strung it all together. It is amazing. If this were a home-based project, more time would have been spent on figuring out the program and investigating different methods of movie making. It's hard for me to accurately describe what I see as the difference in school projects and home projects, but I'll try:
School is more interested in showing what was learned about the assigned topic. The movie is a means to prove he learned about organic farming.
I am just as interested in the learning going on to create the representation. Learning about a topic is one part of the learning; acquiring skills to share information in a chosen way is just as (if not more) important. He drew a storyboard, wrote a script, arranged his scenes, photographed them until he was satisfied. He had a vision and manifested it. He struggled with the computer program, worked through that, we figured it out, and he created a finished product which pleased him. All of this is more important to me than the facts he acquired about organic farming.
I still hope he returns to this interest when he has more time to dig into it for the sake of digging into it rather than as a means to fulfilling a school requirement. I will nudge, and I will mentor. And I am so glad he chose movie over poster after all.

With so many exotic and unusual flowering plants, including the King and Pincushion Proteas from South Africa, and the Grass Trees (

When flowering plants first appeared, Australia and South Africa were conjoined as part of the supercontinent called Gondwana, which started to break up around 180 million years ago. Continents Apart also explores how plant families that originated in Gondwana and are still common to Australia and South Africa, like

KIM ROSS - May no longer be under the radar
The strangest thing happened to me this week. A series of events that I am sure are completely unrelated and coincidental but none the less, strange enough to make a person take pause. Now I am not a big conspiracy theorist, but I have my fair share of thoughts on the capabilities of intelligence agencies and their ability to gather information in a Casper the ghost type fashion. The technology is vast and abundant and we have given the powers that be the ability to track our every move since the inception of the internet and the creation of wireless web. I don't in any way think I am important enough to be of any concern to our U.S. and national intelligence agencies, but it is a good possibility that this week I may have come under scrutiny due to a few phone calls and some web-based research. So let me tell you a little story. Recently, I found myself needing to confirm information I received with several military organizations. So in order to do so, I reached out by telephone. An overseas call to NATO then the International Security Assistance Forces, a second call to the Department of Defense, a few emails later and visit to the Afghan Interior Ministry webpage to obtain a released statement, and it all begins. While I am on my computer checking my email for replies from the various organizations I contacted, my cursor breeds a life of its own and begins opening all my emails one at a time but at a high rate of speed. Virus check — nothing attacking my computer. What is going on? So I restart the computer and all appears to be well, for a little while. I get home that evening and low and behold, my wireless network is gone. My phones won't connect to the wifi, my Apple TV is inoperable, the Xbox 360 is down and out, so I call my internet provider. They show no outages in my area so we go through the standard actions to determine the problem, which none appear to be fixing the broken network. So the technician on the other end of the line attempts to remote connect with my system to do an analysis for repair. You guessed it — access denied. So a few days later a technician shows up at my house, checks out the equipment and viola — it's fixed. Network name had changed and the password was different — that's all! Hello — who changed my network name and my password. I was assured the changes were most likely a corporate action and not to worry. I am sure it was probably just a series of unfortunate events that just oddly enough happened moments after my first contact with an overseas military installation. It's enough to make you go Hmmm.

Going to the movies will never be the same thanks to the newly remodeled luxury theater UltraLuxe, owned by San Diego-based UltraStar Cinemas. Located on Indian Bend Road and the 101 in Scottsdale, the renovation of the former United Artists theater was completed by DeRito Partners, an Arizona brokerage firm specializing in retail.
The grand opening was Nov. 16 with former Diamondbacks star Luis Gonzales serving as the guest of honor to cut the "film" to open the theater.
The theater, know as UltraLuxe, is located in the Scottsdale Pavilions Shopping Center just behind the new Diamondbacks spring training facility in Scottsdale. It will feature 11 auditoriums showcasing state-of-the-art Pure Digital Cinema, which UltraStar Cinemas describes as the crispest motion picture technology available. Each house will have stadium or luxury VIP seating in high-back reclining chairs.
UltaLuxe also will include special D-BOX enhanced motion chair technology, which moves the seats with the motion of the screen. For example, if there is an explosion in the movie that occurs on the left side of the screen, the seats move to the right to simulate the blast — creating a true movie experience.
There will also be five "Star Class" auditoriums, which will include seating reserved for guests 21 and older, special VIP viewing rooms with extra large leather chairs, menus and a call button for servers. Menu items include flavored popcorns, hummus, pizza and a selection of panini sandwiches. Specialty coffees, Italian sodas, beer and wine, and desserts will also be available in the Café and Star Class auditoriums.
If these delicious incentives and exciting amenities don't get you into the theater, maybe the affordable prices will further entice you. Ticket prices are $7.50 for an adult matinee; $9.75 for an adult evening ticket; $7 for seniors and ages 12 and under; $8.75 for students and military with I.D.; and $5.50 for "early bird" tickets to the first matinee showing of each movie. 3-D, D-BOX seats or star class auditoriums add $2 to $8 to each ticket price.

Julia's Refreshed Bedroom on a Budget
Name: Julia Cristina
Location: Washington DC
My sister asked me to redecorate her bedroom — since we are on a tight budget (she is 17) we decided to do most of the changes by painting the walls, color coordinating, and finding alternative uses for old furniture sitting around the house.
Her new "bedside table" is a plain chair painted to match the bed, and the mirror was a gaudy, gold plated mirror we painted white. We also painted the low ceilings the same as the wall to make them seem higher. Art work was made by my very talented sister.
The goal was to keep everything really crisp, natural and clean to discourage mess and knick knack accumulation.
Thanks Julia!

Kiss lead singer opens up about connection to 'Phantom of the Opera'
Kiss frontman Paul Stanley feels a strong connection to the title character of "The Phantom of the Opera," and not just because he's spent nearly 40 years onstage with his face covered in paint.
"Here's somebody who has a disfigurement that they're covering and they're trying to reach out to a woman and, as much as they want to do it, they don't know how. Well, that pretty much summed up my life, you know. Only I wasn't living in a dungeon under an opera house," Stanley said.
That's because the 62-year old musician was born with a congenital deformity that left him deaf in one ear, making it hard for him to communicate or do well in school.
The recently inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famer describes his long, and sometime painful, journey from his "less than optimal childhood" in New York City to the mega-success of rocking all night and partying every day with Kiss in his autobiography, "Face the Music: A Life Exposed" (Harper One).
"This isn't a Kiss book. This is really a book about my life. I was steadfastly against the idea of doing it for decades, because the great George Orwell once said that the autobiography is the most outrageous form of fiction," Stanley said. "But I realized it could be inspiring to people."
Stanley wants to show people that despite having the deck stacked against them, it's possible to overcome adversity. But it took him a long time to do so.
"I was an angry, dysfunctional kid with a real image problem and a hearing problem that put me under constant scrutiny," Stanley said. "Growing my hair was the start of covering it up."
Stanley says stardom and wealth only masked the problem, and it wasn't until realized that the key to his own happiness was through family and friends.
Along the way, he also found a calling in a different type of stage performance when he appeared in the Toronto production of "The Phantom of the Opera" in 1999.
Despite his long career in one of music's hardest rocking bands, Stanley said his musical appreciation always covered a lot of ground, including being an ardent fan of musical theater.
"I grew up with a greater appreciation of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Stephen Sondheim," Stanley said. But he regards the composer of "Phantom of the Opera" above them all.
"Andrew Lloyd Webber is actually more than rock. He's much closer to, I believe, Puccini and Verdi. Some music snobs would take issue with that, but that's why we're not on the same wavelength," Stanley said.
Stanley regards his stint as the Phantom as a turning point in his career. After seeing the London company perform the show in 1988, he said it changed his life.
"I had this momentary revelation, an epiphany where I went, 'Wow, I can do that,'" he said. "And it was the same thing I did when I saw the Beatles. I was a fat little kid who couldn't play an instrument but I looked at them and said, 'I can do that.'"
Eleven years later, Stanley got a call from his agent asking if he'd be interested in auditioning for the part of the Phantom and got to play him with the Toronto company, what he calls "the hardest work I've ever done." When that ended, he went back to concentrating on his highly successful band, but gained an even greater appreciation for the art form.
After the experience of performing eight shows a week, Stanley had this to say: "Anybody in rock 'n' roll who actually complains about the discipline and the workload should actually be flipping burgers because we have a lucky, lucky life."

The Life of Buddha, by A. Ferdinand Herold, tr. by Paul C Blum [1922], at sacred-texts.com
p. 100 p. 101
p. 102
p. 103
THE Buddha never moved. He remained under the tree, his legs crossed. He was filled with bliss at having attained perfect knowledge. He thought, "I have found deliverance." One whole week he remained under the tree of knowledge, without moving.
The second week he went on a long journey; he travelled through all the worlds.
The third week he again remained under the tree of knowledge, and he never once blinked his eyes.
The fourth week he went on a short journey, from the eastern sea to the western sea.
It was then that Mara, whom defeat had left inconsolable, went to the Buddha and spoke these evil words:
"Blessed One, why do you tarry, you who know the path to deliverance? Blow out the lamp, quench the flame; enter nirvana, O Blessed One; the hour has come."
But the Blessed One answered:
"No, Mara, I shall not quench the flame, I shall
p. 104
not enter nirvana. I must first gain many disciples, and they, in turn, must win others over to my law. By word and by deed I must silence my adversaries. No, Mara, I shall not enter nirvana until the Buddha is glorified throughout the world, until his beneficent law is recognized."
Mara left him. He was crestfallen, and he seemed to hear divine voices mocking him.
"You have been defeated, Mara," they were saying, "and you stand wrapped in thought, like an old heron. You are powerless, Mara, like an aged elephant stuck fast in a swamp. You thought you were a hero, and you are weaker than a sick man abandoned in a forest. Of what avail were your insolent words? They were as futile as the chattering of crows."
He picked up a piece of dead wood, and began drawing figures in the sand. His three daughters, Rati, Arati and Trishna, saw him. They were taken aback at the sight of his grief.
"Father, why are you so melancholy?" asked Rati.
"I have been defeated by a saintly man," replied Mara. "He is proof against my strength and my cunning."
"Father," said Trishna, "we are beautiful; we have seductive ways."
"We shall go to this man," continued Arati; "we
p. 105
shall bind him with the chains of love, and we shall bring him to you, humbled and craven."
They went to the Buddha, and they sang:
"Spring is here, friend, the loveliest of the seasons. The trees are in blossom; we must be merry. Your eyes are beautiful, they shine with a lovely light, and you bear the marks of omnipotence. Look at us: we were made to give pleasure and happiness to both men and Gods. Rise and join us, friend; make the most of your shining youth; dismiss all solemn thoughts from your mind. Look at our hair, see how soft it is; flowers lend their fragrance to its silkiness. See our eyes wherein slumbers the sweetness of love. See our warm lips, like fruit ripened in the sun. See our firm, rounded breasts. We glide with the stately grace of swans; we know songs that charm and please, and when we dance, hearts beat faster and pulses throb. Come, friend, do not spurn us; he is foolish, indeed, who would throw away a treasure. Look at us, dear Lord; we are your slaves."
But the Blessed One was unmoved by the song. He frowned at the young girls, and they turned into hags.
In despair they returned to their father. "Father," cried Rati, "see what he has done to our youth and our beauty."
"Love will never hurt him," said Trishna, "for he was able to resist our charms."
p. 106
"Oh," sighed Arati, "how cruelly he has punished us."
"Father," implored Trishna, "cure us of this hideous old age."
"Give us back our youth," cried Rati.
"Give us back our beauty," cried Arati.
"My poor daughters," replied Mara, "I grieve for you. Yes, he has defeated love; he is beyond my power, and I am sad. You plead with me to give you back your youth and your beauty, but how can I? The Buddha alone can undo what the Buddha has done. Return to him; admit that you were blameworthy; tell him that you are repentant, and perhaps he will give you back your charms."
They implored the Buddha.
"Blessed One," said they, "forgive us our offense. Our eyes were blind to the light, and we were foolish. Forgive us!"
"Yes, you were foolish," replied the Blessed One; "you were trying to destroy a mountain with your finger-nails, you were trying to bite through iron with your teeth. But you acknowledge your offense; that already is a sign of wisdom. O maidens, I forgive you."
And the three daughters of the Evil One left his presence, more beautiful than ever before.
The fifth week the Blessed One remained under the tree. But, suddenly, there blew a bitter
p. 107
wind, and a cold rain fell. Then Mucilinda, the serpent-king, said to himself: "The Blessed One must not suffer from the rain or from the cold." He left his home. Seven times he coiled himself around the Buddha, and he spread his hood above the Buddha's head to shelter him. And thus the Buddha suffered not at all during this period of bad weather.
The sixth week he went to a fig-tree where goatherds often forgathered. There, some Gods awaited him, and they humbly bowed as he approached. He said.
"Meekness is sweet to him who knows the law; kindness is sweet to him who can see; meekness is sweet to all creatures; kindness is sweet to all creatures. Blessed is he who has not a desire in the world; blessed is he who has conquered sin; blessed is he who has escaped the torture of the senses; blessed is he who no longer thirsts for existence!"
The seventh week he remained under the tree of knowledge.
Two brothers, Trapusha and Bhallika, were returning to the northern countries. They were merchants and had five hundred chariots in their train. As they came near the tree, the chariots stopped. In vain did the drivers try to encourage or goad the beasts that drew them; they could not advance a step. The wheels kept sinking in the
p. 108
mud up to the hubs. Trapusha and Bhallika became alarmed, but a God appeared who reassured them and said:
"Walk a little way, O merchants, and you will find one to whom you should do homage."
Trapusha and Bhallika saw the Blessed One. His face was radiant.
"Is it the God of some river or the God of the mountain?" they wondered. "Could it be Brahma himself?"
But upon looking at his garments, they thought:
"It must be some monk. Perhaps he would like something to eat."
Trapusha and Bhallika went to the chariot that carried the provisions. They found flour and honey cakes, and they brought them to the Buddha.
"Take them, saintly man," they said, offering him the cakes, "take them and be gracious to us."
The Blessed One had no bowl in which to receive alms. He did not know what to do. The Gods, who were watching at the four quarters of the earth, saw his perplexity, and they quickly brought him bowls made of gold. But the Blessed One said to himself:
"Truly, it would be unseemly for a monk to receive alms in a golden bowl."
And he refused the golden bowls. The Gods then brought him silver bowls, which he also refused.
p. 109
[paragraph continues] He likewise refused emerald bowls, and he would only accept bowls made of stone.
He then received the cakes the merchants offered him. When he had finished eating, he said:
"The blessing of the Gods be with you, merchants! Prosper and be happy!"
Trapusha and Bhallika bowed, and they heard a God say to them:
"He who is before you has arrived at supreme knowledge. This was his first meal since he found the path to deliverance, and to you fell the signal honor of offering it to him. He will now go through the world and teach the true law."
Trapusha and Bhallika rejoiced, and they were the first to profess their faith in the Buddha and in the law.

HOUSTON --The Houston Police Department reminds the public that while the holidays are generally a time of giving, it is also the time cyber criminals prey on those who do their Christmas shopping over the Internet.
The following are the Top 10 Holiday Internet Scams for 2012:
- "The Charity Tricksters" - Watch out for communications from charities asking for contributions (phone, email, text, tweets, standard mail or even people ringing the door bell). Make sure they are legitimate by asking for identification It is safest to donate to known charities and refuse all the rest.
- "The Grinch E-Card Greetings" - An email has an attachment that looks like an e-greeting card with pretty pictures. Malicious e-cards are sent by the millions and especially at the office. Never open those as they might infect the workstation.
- "The Fake Gift Card Trick" - Internet criminals promote a false gift card through social media. What they are really after is personal information, which is then sold to other cyber criminals, who use it for idenitity theft. A recent example is a popular social media site offered a free $1,000 gift card to a local electronics store to the first 20,000 people who signed up to the store's fan page, which was actually a copy of the original.
- "The Copied Site"- Cyber criminals build complete copies of well-known sites, send emails promoting great deals, sell products, take the credit card information, but never deliver the products. These sites live only a few days and the money usually goes abroad. The credit card company will refund the purchase but apart from not receiving the gift(s), the credit card number is now compromised and will be sold and used by other cyber criminals. Always check for the https:// rather than just http://
- "The Direct Message (DM) Scam" - You tweet about a particular holiday gift you are trying to find and then you receive a DM from another user offering to sell one. Stop, look and think - because this could very well be a sophisticated scam. If you do not know the person, be very careful before you continue, and never pay up front.
- "The Extra Holiday Money Fraud" - Cyber-fraudsters are always offering work-from-home scams to those looking for extra money during the holidays. Some of these make you fill out a form where confidential information, such as a Social Security number, is given out, which results in identity theft. The worst of them offer work where money from a cyberheist is unwittingly laundered.
- "Fake Recession Relief" -Internet swindlers target people vulnerable due to the recession with pay-in-advance scams and credit offers. Spam emails advertise "prequalified, super-low interest" credit cards and loans if a processing fee is paid, which goes right to the cyber-criminal's pocket.
- "The Search Term Trap" -Cyber-criminals do research amd find out what people want and then build a site that professes to have the item. That site is pushed high onto search engines to have users click on the link. The site contains malware and will infect the PC. Make sure your web browser is fully updated and will warn if the site is unsafe.
- "The Evil Wi-Fi Twin" - You bring your laptop to scout for gifts at the mall and then check if it can be purchased cheaper online. Cyber-criminals are also online shopping for your credit card number and put out a Wi-Fi signal similar to the free one you always choose. Choose the wrong one and the hacker can steal your credit card data while you buy online. When you use Wi-Fi in a public place, it is best to not use your credit card.
- "The Black Friday Racket" - Black Friday is the start of great holiday shopping deals. Unless they are too good to be true and you get tricked into buying an iPad for a 90% discount. Be extra careful with online buying starting the day after Thanksgiving.

A father in New York City is facing criminal charges after he admitted to police that he was using heroin in the bed where his 1-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son were sleeping, WPIX reported.
Edgardo Rodriguez, a 20-year-old Bronx resident, and his mother woke up early Saturday and realized the 1-year-old girl wasn't breathing, ABC News reported. The baby girl was unresponsive by the time they got to the hospital.
She was given Naloxone and Narcan, opiate antidotes that reverse the effects of overdose, ABC News reported.
Rodriguez told police that he was using heroin before his kids laid down and "some of it spilled," before he went to sleep, according to court documents obtained by WPIX News.
"I don't know how my daughter got in contact with the residue on the bed because I was high," he told police.
Police found white powder substance on the bed where the two kids slept and more than one gram of heroin on Rodriguez, the New York Daily News reported.
On Saturday, Rodriguez was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a child, according to online court documents.
Days later, another 1-year-old girl in the Bronx overdosed on heroin, the New York Daily News reported. Her parents told police they saw their daughter with a plastic bag in her mouth when she was in her stroller. She was rushed to the hospital and treated with Naloxone. No charges have been filed in that case.
Children and babies accidentally exposed to heroin and fentanyl is becoming more and more common in the United States, according to recent statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. A baby suffering from opioid withdrawal is born every 25 minutes in the United States.
In July, a 10-year-old Miami boy died with fentanyl in his system hours after he visited a public swimming pool, according to the Miami Herald. CNN and NBC both reported that it was suspected the boy died from touching fentanyl. But later, experts said it was "highly unlikely" given the timeline of how quickly he became sick and died.
From 2016 to 2017, more than 20,000 people in the U.S. died from fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, which was double the amount of deaths from 2015 to 2016, according to the CDC.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — Some investment guy holed up in Florida claims he can get Facebook FB, -3.00% , LinkedIn US:LNKD , Groupon GRPN, +5.96% and Zynga ZNGA, +0.84% stock before these companies go public.
All he needs to buy this stuff is your money.
Sound like a deal?
Manhattan's U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara had a 71-year-old Odessa, Fla., man arrested on Tuesday for making this promise as part of a scam. "Craig Berkman seized on the interest in a highly coveted investment opportunity to swindle investors out of millions," Bharara said in a press release announcing the arrest.
Berkman was in custody and his attorney didn't return a request for comment. Berkman also faces parallel civil charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which were also announced on Tuesday.
He allegedly told investors he had a fix on these stocks, took their money, and then converted most of it for his own use. Prosecutors estimate the alleged scheme took in about $8 million.
Berkman was once a venture capitalist in Oregon, creating funds that invested in start-up Internet companies such as 800.com, which sold consumer electronics on the Internet. But he's since moved on.
In 2005, he purchased a $3.9 million home near Tampa, Fla., as his investors put together a lawsuit against him alleging fraud. Publicly, his investors complained he was skipping town to live in a state with one of the strongest laws protecting luxury homes from creditors.
During a month-long trial that generated plenty of newspaper articles, Berkman admitted that he took $5.2 million from investment funds he founded and covered it up for years. The trial resulted in a $28 million judgment against him.
A 2008 editorial in The Oregonian newspaper called him "a liar and a thief." A news article in the same paper raised the obvious question of why he wasn't being criminally prosecuted after he admitted misappropriating funds. It wasn't, after all, his first financial folly. Other news articles over the years had pointed out his previous run-ins with regulators, including a $10,000 fine he paid with Oregon's securities regulator to settle charges he sold unregistered securities — neither admitting nor denying guilt.
Now facing criminal charges, it seems Berkman has lost his membership in the neither-admitting-nor-denying-guilt class.
In 1988, he gave $100,000 to George H.W. Bush and Dan Quayle and went on to become one of their top fundraisers. He was chairman of Oregon's Republican Party from 1989-1993 and ran unsuccessfully for chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1996. He also ran unsuccessfully for Oregon governor in 1994 and explored making yet another gubernatorial bid in 2001.
He also raised money for the next President Bush, and even as his investors were suing him for fraud in 2005, he was reportedly still raising money for then-GOP presidential hopeful John McCain.
During his time in politics, he openly accused Oregon's Democratic Party of election law violations and financial misdeeds. "I think you had a systematic effort. .. over a long period of time to launder money back and forth," Berkman said of Democrats in a 1989 interview with The Oregonian.
When billionaire Ross Perot announced he would run as an independent candidate against Berkman's friend George H.W. Bush in 1992, Berkman grabbed headlines by declaring, "Goofy's back in the race."
He also warned Oregon delegates to the Republican National Convention about a candidate named Bill Clinton. "If this guy is elected, your taxes are going to go up, the deficit will increase, he will be reckless in foreign policy and he might get us into another Vietnam."
While stumping for governor in 1994 he declared, "I don't think they want a wuss in the governor's office." And, "As a businessman, I sink or swim based on a reality. It's called results."
So much for results.
Millions of dollars Berkman raised with his stories about social networking stocks went to pay defense lawyers and victims who won a previous court-ordered settlement, prosecutors allege.
"Berkman blatantly capitalized on the market fervor ... to fleece investors whose cash flow he treated like an ATM to fund his own living expenses and pay court-ordered claims to victims of his past misdeeds," said the SEC's Andrew M. Calamari in a press release.
He's accused of running an alleged scheme to pay for his last alleged scheme. This is how it goes in a regulatory culture where admissions of guilt are rarely demanded.

"Do It Anyway" is a 2012 song by Ben Folds Five. The music video features the Fraggles (Gobo, Mokey, Boober, Wembley, Red, and Uncle Traveling Matt) along with Ben Folds Five (a trio, despite the name: Ben Folds, Robert Sledge, and Darren Jessee). Also seen in the video are Rob Corddry (as a sound enginer), Chris Hardwick (as the studio gate guard), and Anna Kendrick.
The video is introduced in the manner of the "Postcards from Traveling Matt" segment, as Uncle Matt finds a magical door opening to where the Silly Creatures make music. As the band performs, the sound causes a disturbance in the rock and the Fraggles end up in the studio (Mokey joins on piano at one point, Gobo pairs with bassist Sledge, and Wembley pops up behind drums). The video features a closing tag with Folds, Hardwick, Corddry, Kendrick, and Red Fraggle singing the "Fraggle Rock Theme Song;" Boober pops up to deliver the traditional closing line, "down at Fraggle Rock."
The video was filmed at the Henson Company Lot on August 19, 2012, produced by Nerdist Industries, and directed by Phil Hodges, with Hardwick and Lisa Henson as executive producers. Featured performers are Dave Goelz (Uncle Matt), Karen Prell (Red), Sean Johnson (Boober), and Patrick Johnson (Wembley).

"In '94 [NYR Coach Mike Keenan] figured he had a championship team he was putting together, and he needed a real quarterback for the power play," Potvin said. "Brian Leetch was there, but he asked if I would be interested in coming back."
Potvin was retired six years at the time.
"My immediate thought was, 'Come on, you can't be serious,' but then as it turned out he was serious," he said. "I was 42 years old at the time, and he thought that I might be able to come back in a month or two, because I stayed in pretty good shape until then. And I thought, 'I don't know — six years is a little ridiculous.'"
But Potvin gave it some consideration.
"At first I thought he was joking," he said. "And then all of a sudden when I realized he was serious, I thought, 'Oh my god, can I do this?' So I went out skating, and I thought, 'Nope, I can't do this.'"

Akai MPC Fly: Akai's 3rd MPC for NAMM 2012
Lay it flat, on your lap or back to back.
Start it on the Fly, finish when you get back.
The NEW Akai MPC Fly
Unveiled today, the MPC Fly is the latest instalment in Akai's highly acclaimed and anticipated fresh range of MPC's (Music Production Controllers). The MPC Fly is the first MPC to be designed specifically for the Apple iPad 2 and is most likely going to warm the hearts of musicians and techies the world over.
The MPC Fly does exactly what it says on the... well, the flexible, protective and incredibly stylish case! It transforms your iPad into a professional beat making powerhouse, for music production on the move. The laptop-esque casing stores an iPad in the top compartment and features the familiar bank of MPC trigger pads on the bottom half of the folding design.
The Fly includes its own long lasting lithium battery, and when your controller is plugged into the mains it will charge your iPad at the same time, now that's convenience!
Just like its siblings, the ultra-slimline Fly is designed to work with a special software application with everything you need for quality production wherever you are. The MPC Fly allows you to sequence four tracks simultaneously with the built in multi-track mixer, and record and overdub sequences to create and edit your own programs.
Coming together with numerous built-in effects including delay, compression, EQ and more, the MPC Fly houses a library of samples and drum kits with the option of sampling your iPod library with its turntable interface. Your compositions can also be transferred to your Mac or PC to play with some more in a different DAW, or if it's ready to go then you can just bounce 'n' burn, or furthermore, you can share it on SoundCloud, Facebook and twitter.
Whether you're a producer on the fly looking for an interface that can actually keep up with you and your constant buzz of creativity, or a hardcore hardwarian just after a change, the MPC Fly, (and in fact the entire new MPC range) may just be the renovation that you need.

New Jersey's booming multifamily and mixed-use markets are giving the self-storage subsector leverage to build interest among investors for existing properties, according to real estate experts.
"Even into 2010, there weren't a whole lot of trades for self-storage properties, in large part due to economic conditions and vacancies running up. People were concerned about their jobs and began to realize they were spending $150 a month for units, so they were thinking, 'Do I really need that stuff?,' " said Michael Fasano, vice president and regional manager of Marcus & Millichap's Elmwood Park office. "But I think that has sailed itself out … as vacancies in multifamily and multitenant retail have collapsed, indicating more consumers will be demanding storage units than before."
In the third quarter of 2012, several commercial real estate firms with offices in New Jersey announced self-storage transactions across all regions of the state, including Marcus & Millichap's August sales of a 52,000-square-foot facility property in Neptune and a 66,750-square-foot facility property in South Harrison, as well as HFF's September sale of a 10-property portfolio in New Jersey and New York.
Aside from healthy multifamily and mixed-use markets, Fasano said increased sales activity for self-storage properties can be attributed to lenders freeing up financing for the transactions.
"Before, no one wanted to come off the sidelines and go out in the market because they knew they couldn't get financing," Fasano said. "Then, in 2009, lenders started lending again for multifamily properties, and then in 2010, they did the same for retail. Now, there are more dollars available for specialty products like self storage, and that's brought investors back into the marketplace."
Michael McGuinness, CEO of the New Jersey chapter of commercial real estate association NAIOP, said another reason why investors have turned their attention to specialty properties like self storage is "because there's not much else out there for investors that's giving them a reasonable rate of return."
"I think there's a broader trend going on with investors looking to real estate for a return, so they're investing in certain types of properties that they feel are comfortable investments because there's a demand for it on the consumer side, like multifamily and self storage," McGuinness said.
In terms of development, Fasano said he's "not aware of any new additions or new construction of self-storage properties coming out of the ground since the ramp-up years of 2002 to 2007," and he noted any possible future construction "will be only centered around new apartment construction — and that's primarily in Hudson County."
But McGuinness said potential self-storage groundbreakings would not be "limited to Hudson County by any stretch, because multifamily and mixed-use stuff is real hot right now and finding its way all over the place."
"Any sort of established community that has a decent quality of life and a downtown near mass transit — like Morristown, Red Bank, New Brunswick and Princeton — is very attractive for investors and developers," McGuinness said. "With aging baby boomers, we have a large sector of the population who don't want to drive so much, who want to live near the train and decide to downsize to a smaller co-op or apartment, but still have a lot of stuff they want to keep. They're looking for self storage ... so investors are probably seeing that as a solid type of investment."
Still, Fasano said, "with occupancy at existing properties just recently starting to improve, and no robust job creation in the state, we're not seeing anybody take on the risk to build self-storage units from scratch yet."
Instead, Fasano said investors have begun taking advantage of "a better business opportunity in converting somewhat obsolete warehouse space in urban markets to self storage."
"I think any self-storage construction is going to be driven by a need in a specific community," Fasano said. "If a community has some vintage warehouse space and a need for more self storage, then I think investors are willing to take advantage of that opportunity."

Biblicism, an approach to the Bible common among some American evangelicals, emphasizes together the Bible's exclusive authority, infallibility, clarity, self-sufficiency, internal consistency, self-evident meaning, and universal applicability. Acclaimed sociologist Christian Smith argues that this approach is misguided and unable to live up to its own claims. If evangelical biblicism worked as its proponents say it should, there would not be the vast variety of interpretive differences that biblicists themselves reach when they actually read and interpret the Bible.
Smith describes the assumptions, beliefs, and practices of evangelical biblicism and sets it in historical, sociological, and philosophical context. He explains why it is an impossible approach to the Bible as an authority and provides constructive alternative approaches to help evangelicals be more honest and faithful in reading the Bible. Far from challenging the inspiration and authority of Scripture, Smith critiques a particular rendering of it, encouraging evangelicals to seek a more responsible, coherent, and defensible approach to biblical authority.

Jerry Cantrell in Alice In Chain's "We Die Young"
Hope Is On Its Way For Alice In Chains
Welcome to Forgotten Videos. For some, these videos are forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. Whichever category you fall into, each week we'll feature a video that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. Or vice-versa. … We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.
Alice In Chains
"We Die Young"
Aside from perfectly blending crunching, sludgy guitars and the confusing yet brutish imagery that so defined the grunge-era aesthetic of the early '90s, Alice In Chains' lead track from their 1990 debut album, Facelift, is painfully ironic. "Scary's on the wall/Scary's on his way," warns late frontman Layne Staley, who died at the young age of 34 in 2002. Staley's death was followed by another scary incident in 2011 — the passing of original Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr at age 44. While it's no secret that the deaths of Staley and Starr were in some way a result of the devastating effects of substance abuse and addiction, these cases serve as a sober reminder about the importance of MusiCares, The Recording Academy's nonprofit health and human services organization dedicated to providing a safety net for music people in times of need.
On May 31 at the 8th Annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert, Alice In Chains guitarist/vocalist and co-founder Jerry Cantrell will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund. Cantrell will also be recognized for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process.
Getting back to the music, "We Die Young" isn't completely brutish — it helped propel Facelift, which spawned band's first GRAMMY nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal for "Man In The Box," to No. 42 on the Billboard 200. Showcasing the band performing around people who appear to be drowning in blood, the video was directed by Rocky Schenck, who would direct more videos for the band, including "Them Bones." The album was instrumental in establishing an audience for grunge and alternative rock fans, and made Alice In Chains one of the first Seattle groups to break through to a wider audience.
Dirt followed in 1992, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and garnering the band a second GRAMMY nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal, followed by a self-titled album in 1995, which garnered two Best Hard Rock Performance nominations for "Grind" and "Again" in 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Following a hiatus after the death of Staley in 2002, Alice In Chains added vocalist William DuVall and in 2009 released Black Gives Way To Blue. The album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and garnered Best Hard Rock Performance nominations for "Check My Brain" and "A Looking In View" in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
"It's cool to get here," Cantrell said in a recent interview with GRAMMY.com. "It's cool to know that you can get here and it's nice to be [proof] that no matter where you find yourself in life you've always got a chance to turn it around."

The building: Victorian pile, rebuilt in the 1950s after being bombed in World War II. It has a rather nice reredos (see picture below) and a bright, airy interior.
The neighbourhood: St James is on a busy shopping road. When North Belfast was segregated in the 1970s, St James was left on the wrong side of the tracks, surrounded by strongly Republican, working class Victorian terraces. The activities of gunmen has given the area a nickname: 'the murder mile'. One fifth of all murders related to 'the troubles' have occurred within a mile of this church.
The cast: Rt Rev Gordon McMullen, retired Bishop of Down and Dromore.
What was the name of the service?
Morning Prayer.
How full was the building?
Around 70 people in a church that could hold five times that with ease. The overwhelming majority were above retirement age.
Did anyone welcome you personally?
The guy handing out prayer books knows me from political circles and welcomed me eagerly. So did a lot of other people, for whom I was a new face.
Was your pew comfortable?
The pew was fine.
How would you describe the pre-service atmosphere?
Chatty. Lots of people came to talk to me, or were talking to the people next to them.
What were the exact opening words of the service?
'Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.'
What books did the congregation use during the service?
The Church of Ireland Alternative Prayer Book 1984, and the Irish Church Hymnal (equivalent to Hymns Ancient & Modern).
What musical instruments were played?
Organ and 15-member, four-part choir.
Did anything distract you?
The sun was shining straight through plain glass windows into my eyes, which was a little irritating.
Was the worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what?
Fairly traditional and as close to 'central church Anglican' as you could ever get.

Gudgeon are much used as bait when trolling for jack, and as a live bait for various large fish. When the fisherman requires them for this purpose, he seldom has recourse to the rod and line, but employs the casting-net, which soon supplies him with as many as he wants. Old anglers tell us that the gudgeon are on the decline in the Thames, both as to number and size. They "remember the time" when eighty dozen were to be taken in the day by the party in one punt. "Now, at the present time, in a take of fifteen or sixteen dozen, it is seldom a really sizable fish gets in the wells. If the extremity of the bye-laws of the fishery were carried out, every gudgeon fisher, as he carries away his fish, would be indictable for taking unsizable fish. The gudgeon are largely required as bait for the anglers, and where minnows are not always to be had, they have to supply their place. Thousands upon thousands are annually used as bait for night-lines, and every effort should be made to prevent such an annihilating agency from being employed at all. In addition to the frightful destruction of gfudgeon and other small fry, trout and other valuable fish are caught on the nightlines. Let the fishermen be permitted to lay their weels in any portion of the river, but make the laying of night-lines a punishable offence. The eels themselves consume vast quantities of grudgeon. Some few years ago a fisherman cut open two eels in my presence, and we found nearly a dozen gudgeons in them." (W. H. Brougham. The Fields Sept. 20, 1873.) — Robertson, 133-34

Blackhawks coach Brian Sutter wouldn't have flunked a lie-detector test Sunday after saying, "Five on five, we were a better hockey team."
But the outcome of the game at the United Center was determined by what the St. Louis Blues did in the first period during five-on-three power-play situations.
With Hawks watching from the penalty box, the Blues exploited their manpower advantage by striking for three unanswered goals in a span of 5 minutes 21 seconds, two in five-on-three situations. That was all they needed to secure a 3-1 victory and bolster their hopes of making the playoffs.
The Blues are seventh in the West, two points ahead of Nashville and three behind Calgary.
Starting when Jason Strudwick was sent off for holding at 5:04, the Blues were on the power play for an uninterrupted 7:26. During that time they had a two-man advantage for 4:21.
"Some were deserved, and some were marginal," Sutter said of the penalties charged to Strudwick, Mikhail Yakubov, Eric Nickulas, Steve Poapst and Jim Vandermeer. "The referees [were] a determining factor in the outcome of the hockey game. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out."
When the Hawks finally got back to even strength, the shots-on-goal ratio attested to the ordeal that goalie Adam Munro had gone through12 for the Blues and one for the Hawks.
"He was just fine," Sutter said of the 21-year-old rookie making his first start since Thursday night's 8-2 drubbing by Minnesota. "I think the first two [goals] hit his stick and changed directions. One was going up and hit his stick and went down, and one was going down and hit his stick and went up. And the third one was on a cross-crease pass.
"After that he made a couple of big saves, but he really didn't have a lot of work."
While Munro stopped five shots in each of the last two periods, St. Louis goaltender Chris Osgood had to make 30 of his 36 saves in the same span to stymie the Hawks' vigorous attack.
Osgood lost his shutout in the second minute of the second period when Shawn Thornton, the rookie winger recalled from Norfolk for the third time this season, scored his first NHL goal.
"Shawn came up and gave us a big boost," Sutter said. "He was good for us."
Thornton was recalled to fill the void created when center Scott Nichol was suspended Saturday for two games without pay for breaking the right index finger of Minnesota's Filip Kuba with a slash late in Thursday's rout. To make room for Thornton, rookie defenseman Michal Barinka was sent back to Norfolk.
Berard honored: Defenseman Bryan Berard has been nominated by the Chicago chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association for the Masterton Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL player whose career is epitomized by perseverance and dedication. Last season, when Berard played for Boston, he was runner-up to Detroit's Steve Yzerman.

GameFront: "A Youtuber has made a pretty big claim: that Treyarch "stole" (as in stole your bike, your phone; thievery) some art concepts and the overall design for a map titled "Origins," part of Black Ops 2′s upcoming Apocalypse DLC."
The carrier multiplayer map on Black Ops 2 looks just like the map on Haze the PS3 game.
wow thats scary.Very similar artwork its hard too deny the connection...
If it is indeed stolen... Francisco Fruiz should get a cut from the DLC being sold from Treyarch and Activision!
But if it was me, I'd take it to court!

Figure 1. Model "BC" Carburetor
The Model "BC" Carburetor incorporates several distinct new features. Foremost of these features is the concentric float bowl, which completely encompasses the main bore of the carburetor. This float bowl concentricity in conjunction with the centrally located main discharge nozzle prevents any fuel loss on road inclines. Regardless of any angle the car may assume, the fuel level is at all times below the nozzle spill point.
A second feature of the Model "BC" Carburetor is the unique design of the Main Well Assembly. This assembly contains the main metering jet and power valve. It is attached to the carburetor air horn and suspended in the float bowl.
In the Model "BC" Carburetor, due to the suspension of the main well in the bowl, engine heat cannot be directly transmitted to the main passageway through the main metering jet.
The Model "BC" Carburetor incorporates the conventional six systems of carburetion: Idle, Part Throttle, Power, Pump, Float and Choke. Each of the systems is basically simple and can be readily traced and understood.
