Has Redbox already peaked?
The parent company of the video-rental service sees profits plunge 27%, and isn't expecting much growth anytime soon.
There's a theory that many new technologies become obsolete about 18 months after they're introduced -- as soon as the updated, next-generation devices are rolled out. That concept can certainly be applied to computers -- and perhaps to video-rental delivery systems as well.
Coinstar (CSTR) announced lower-than-expected revenue in its fourth-quarter earnings report on Thursday, with profits for the quarter down 27%. It also offered a flat forecast for the current quarter.
The parent company of the automated coin-counting machines also owns RedBox, a self-service kiosk that rents out movies and video games at more than 42,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
Some analysts downgraded the stock on Friday, and it fell nearly 7% in trading to close at $48.47. Part of the issue for Coinstar appears to be the new methods of accessing videos.
Remember how Blockbuster destroyed your local, mom-and-pop video store? Nearly all those video-rental stores faded away with the introduction of video streaming and DVDs available both though the mail and by automated kiosk.
In fact, the brick-and-mortar video rental industry declined nearly 14% between 2007 and last year, according to industry analysts at IBISWorld, as online technology replaced in-store rentals.
And now, with Netflix (NFLX) as the dominant player in the online movie-rental landscape, competitors like Coinstar are looking to take a bite out of that rapidly growing market.
Coinstar is launching its own video-streaming partnership with Verizon (VZ) called "Redbox Instant by Verizon." As Mashable's Christina Warren notes, "Redbox Instant has a long way to go before it can compete with the likes of Netflix and Amazon (AMZN). Still, I'm not willing to write the service off just yet."
If the service takes off, "and Redbox claims that hundreds of thousands of people have requested access to the beta -- this story will turn itself around," says Rick Aristotle Munarriz in The Motley Fool. But he also believes Netflix might have too much of a head start for Coinstar to catch up.

I agree that streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon are not the most popular movies, but for a measly 8 bux a month the content offered isn't half bad. I do enjoy Amazon now since they are starting to stream movies I heither have not seen and intended to and movies I have not seen in a long while.

11 U.S. Code § 748 - Reduction of securities to money
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2614.)
Historical and Revision Notes
senate report no. 95–989
Section 748 requires the trustee to liquidate all securities, except for customer name securities, of the estate in a manner consistent with good market practice. The trustee should refrain from flooding a thin market with a large percentage of shares in any one issue. If the trustee holds restricted securities or securities in which trading has been suspended, then the trustee must arrange to liquidate such securities in accordance with the securities laws. A private placement may be the only exemption available with the customer of the debtor the best prospect for such a placement. The subsection does not permit such a customer to bid in his net equity as part of the purchase price; a contrary result would permit a customer to receive a greater percentage on his net equity claim than other customers.

Jeannie Kwon
Director of Communications and Strategic Initiatives
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Capital Construction Company
Tell us about your current public service work. Can you briefly describe your employment organization and position responsibilities, as well as any relevant volunteer or entrepreneurial activities?
I am the Director of Communications and Strategic Initiatives for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Capital Construction Company. Most New Yorkers experience the MTA via the subways, buses or commuter rail. MTA Capital Construction is a separate agency with one mission – to build transit infrastructure. We are building the Fulton Street Transit Center hub, the No. 7 extension, the Second Avenue Subway, and the East Side Access project, which is the largest transit expansion portfolio in the nation of $15B. In my role, I oversee internal and external communications, lead and assign Presidential initiatives, and assist and advise the President on a wide array of issues. Currently, my extracurricular activities include Career Advisor for the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service (FELPS), which provides young leaders in public service with a very robust career planning program.
Please summarize your professional and academic background. What has been a highlight?
I've worked in various policy and planning capacities, but the highlight so far of my professional career has been working in the subterranean world of New York City Transit Subways division as a Superintendent and a Deputy Line General Manager. The number of people and sheer logistics it takes to move New York City and maintain service is breathtaking. Prior to going to NYU, I received degrees from Simon's Rock College of Bard and Oberlin College.
What led you to pursue a master's degree in Public Administration? Why did you decide to study at Wagner?
In order to advance my career, I knew I would need a master's degree. Wagner was the right fit because of its reputation, faculty, location, and it afforded many classes in the evening, which allowed me to continue to work full-time.
In your current position, how do you use the knowledge and skills that you gained at Wagner? Which skills do you use most frequently?
Leading and managing a team is a discipline that can be learned on the job, but the theory and exercises I gained from faculty who are respected practitioners in their field have made me a better manager. Also, adapting mental models of work in accordance with shifting priorities - whether they are political, cultural or technological, have been vital to my success. Wagner provided me with toolkit to do that in a reflective and thoughtful way.
Reflecting on your academic experience, what Wagner courses, professors, and / or projects had the greatest influence on your professional development? How?
Wagner emphasizes teamwork, which is incredibly useful in the real world, since most of us work in team-based environments. All of my team exercises were followed up with feedback from team mates. If you can get past the brutal honesty, you'll find they are incredibly constructive and powerful leadership tools.
In terms of professors, Dr. Roy Sparrow had the greatest impact on me at Wagner. He's a brilliant professor and I miss his classes. I walked into Wagner with a narrow view of leadership and management styles and his courses deeply challenged my understanding of executing these concepts in ways I still apply at work today.
Reflecting on your time outside of the classroom (social events, orientations, trainings, etc.), can you describe one or two key moments at Wagner that impacted your passion for public service?
My passion for public service began as a social and economic rights activist long before I came to Wagner, and after moving and living in NYC, shifted into an interest in mass transit advocacy and policy. At Wagner, I met many people with the same interests in transportation. A bunch of us started the Wagner Transportation Association. We took day trips all over looking at rail cars and transit networks. One weekend we toured transit systems in NJ and PA. That level of wonkiness, I think you only find in NYC.
How are you involved with the Wagner community as an alumna/us (i.e. attending events, mentoring students, maintaining connections with other alumni, recruiting at Wagner, etc.)?
I mentor Wagner students, look for interns, attend events, and keep in touch with a group of my peers who also work in public service or in the transportation industry.
Prospective students have expressed interest in learning how alumni funded their living expenses and education during their time as a Wagner student. If you feel comfortable, would you please tell us how you made it work?
I attended part time, so my tuition was paid for with student loans. I also received several scholarships, which helped offset the cost of tuition.
Do you have any advice for current students looking to make the most of their time at Wagner?
Don't wait until your last year in school to develop a career plan. Exhaust Wagner's career services and your peer network. Conduct a lot of informational interviews and don't be afraid to introduce yourself to people on LinkedIn. When you do, make sure you are professional, formal and thoughtful. I've been the recipient of several information interview requests on LinkedIn, and for the most part, they've been great, except when the photo shows a person showing off their tattoo.

Police have arrested a former roommate in connection with the death of an East Point police officer.
Danielle Parker was arrested Tuesday evening in the shooting death of Chrystal Parker.
Chrystal Parker's father, Joseph Parker, would not comment on the relationship between Danielle Parker and his daughter. He said that he did not know Danielle Parker very well.
CBS Atlanta News found records that Danielle Parker had changed her name in Feb. 2012 from Darma Dixon.
"We have not determined if this was a break up of a couple," Cpl. Kay Lester said. "However, she was determined to be an ex-roommate and ex-house guest at the location."
The officer's home had been burglarized on June 16, according to investigators. They are working to determine if Danielle Parker was involved in that case. Chrystal Parker had recently kicked Danielle Parker out of the home, according to police.
"She told me $1,400 cash was taken from her house and all her jewelry was gone," said Prince Clement, who lives next door.
Clement said he was home Sunday but heard nothing unusual since people were setting off fireworks all night.
"There were fireworks going everywhere," said Clement. "You can't tell if there were guns shot or something."
Chrystal Parker was awarded East Point officer of the year in 2012. Police Chief Woodrow Blue said she was a huge asset to the department.
"She was also as field training officer, trained a large segment of new officers coming into department," Blue said. "I had slated her for temporary appointment to sergeant when I first came in as police chief because of the outstanding work she had done in the community."
Investigators said evidence found at the murder scene and tips led them to Danielle Parker.
"Chrystal was a great friend, great sister, a great cop," Joe Parker, her brother, said. "Right now, we are wrapping up the final details so they [police] can finish their case."
The family said it has not yet made funeral arrangements. She was booked into the Fulton County Jail Tuesday night.
Danielle Parker is due in court for bond hearing on July 24.

- New chef?joegolfguyDined on 9/30/2014Benihana's is our go-to place for special occasions (birthdays, anniversary, etc.) so we have experienced a wide variety of chefs and food standards. While our food was good, the lobster was overcooked and a few pieces of my wife's filet mignon were very rare, instead of the requested medium. Our chef seemed to have difficulty keeping the orders straight and got flustered, at times. He was, however, very observant and refilled my wife's ginger sauce well before the end of the meal, when I usually have to request more sauce.Special Features:
- Fun lunch dateChelsDined on 9/27/2014We went for a lunch date and had a great time. We waited for a while for our cook to come, but he was worth the wait! The food was delicious and the presentation was great! My husband and I thought it would be fun to bring friends next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BagginsVIPDined on 9/18/2014Food was excellent. the chef was a lot of fun. We had a group of seven and were celebrating a birthday. we ordered Vegetable Tempura and it was crisp and hot. tasted wonderful. The special chicken fried rice was also very good. everyone remarked on how tender the steaks were and the shrimp were wonderful. We had a great time and will definitely returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An experience.SLCFoodieDined on 9/6/2014Benihana is a fun restaurant with great food. The service is outstanding. My girlfriend noted on the way home that just as she thought that she wanted some water a waiter was already in the process of giving her a glass. The waiters seem to appear out of nowhere with anything you could want. The beverage choice is outstanding, with the cheaper options having free refills. The chefs are very accommodating with your orders. I heavily recommend getting the chicken fried rice.Special Features:
- Fantastic Foodfoodluvr4Dined on 9/5/2014It's been a while since I've been to Benihana with my husband. It was exactly like I remembered. Friendly service, excellent food and a fun environment. So glad we decided to make reservations and go while we were in town for Comic Con. It was a much welcomed retreat from the chaos at the Salt Palace. Thank you!!!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/1/2014Parking was not available (Labor Day). The facility is terrible and with the construction and no parking very hard to get to. The cook was good but not outgoing enough. Only positive was the food, it was very good.Special Features:
- Back to the CityBruceTexasVIPDined on 8/22/2014As the vacation ended we took the kids to hibachi at Benihana. It was great just like always. This was our first time to the Salt Lake City venue. The area is under construction, yet it is easy access.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Benihanas still worksCobopDined on 8/7/2014The downtown Benihanas was a great choice for our pre-concert gatnering of eight people for drinks and dinner. Our waitress, Maria was exceptional at taking care of all our needs (including seperate checks) with brilliant efficiency and a terrific personality. Mario, our chef, was entertaining and a culinary artist. The food, every morsel, was delicious: freshly cooked, perfectly seasoned and ample. The ambience was clean, architecturally pleasing and welcoming. It's been a while since I visited a Benihana, but they haven't lost their touch. If anything, they've gotten even better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luvtoeatDined on 8/2/2014Really good food and lots of it combined with the cooking and show. Benihana has been around for a long time and this is the reason why.. Always a fun place to spend time with family and even friends. Lots of birthday celebrations for young and old.. Good for first time visit and worth going back if you have not been there in some time..Special Features:
- Benihana is a long-time favoriteBenihanaBdayBunchDined on 7/18/2014I've been going to SL Benihana over the last 20 years and it has always been fantastic. It's much better than the other tepanyaki table-cooking style restaurants in Utah. Their sauces and salad dressings are amazing, sushi and spring rolls are delicious. My absolute favorite is the hibachi fried rice. Benihana is fun for lunch and you can save a little on the lunch specials. For dinner they offer reservations which is rare these days and definitely nice on a Friday or Saturday night. The big tables are nice when you have a large party. I've always had great service and if it's your birthday they sing to you, bring ice cream, and take a picture that you get to take with you. I live 80 miles away and gladly make the drive to Benihana!Special Features:
- fantasticsomeplacenewDined on 7/10/2014Very much enjoyed dinner, the chef was great. He even took time to show us how to use the chop sticks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good for kidsCasalf04Dined on 6/15/2014It has been some time since I ate at a Benihana. Went there for Father's Day Dinner with kids. Overall we had a great experience the kids loved the show. Very good service and food was also very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Be Aware - terrible service!LeotangVIPDined on 6/6/2014We made an reservations at 9pm for 5 people, arrived on time (857pm at the reception). We had to wait for a while before we got the service, and eventually received our appetizer around 935pm, and later the entrees. Around 1010pm, while we were still eating, the waitress indicated that we need to wrap up and leave. Even though, I still gave her a reasonable tip which was more than 15%, suggested at the bottom of the bill. After we paid and received the validated parking ticket, we left the restaurant around 1025pm. When we drove the car out of the parking lot at 1037, we were told the restaurant only validated us for 1.5 hour. Then we had to pay another $2 before we can leave.
- Very expensive for quality of food!luv2dine2Dined on 6/5/2014I expected to absolutely love the food for how expensive it was. The filet (which is a very tender cut of beef) was almost tough. Overall our party of twelve said their were two good things - the shrimp & the service. My daughter had just graduated & was in a white dress & the waiter spilled red fruit punch on her dress! It did come out in the wash luckily but that kind of summed up the experience. We were disappointed with the quality of food!
- Awesome!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/4/2014We had a great time. The table sat 8 and we had 8 dinning. The atmosphere was great since we were their for my daughters graduation ceremony. The price was around 25 dollars per person, which for the food, atmosphere, and fun was unbeatable. Will do this again, My teenage son has ohhhh and ahhhh all evening at what the chef was doing at the table. It was awesome!!Special Features:
- The following 208 reviews are from the Benihana - Salt Lake City reviews archive.
- Great food!readytodineDined on 5/29/2014It had been a long time since we dined at Benihana (in LA), so we thought it would be fun to give it a shot. The menu was complete, with lots of seafood, beef, seafood, and combination entrees. I had the Hibachi steak and chicken, which was very good. My wife had the Teriyaki chicken and jumbo shrimp -- also excellent. The tangy dressing on the accompanying salad was really good! We really enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Left something desiring this timeAaronsspiceyreview8Dined on 5/16/2014I've been to benihana's before and it was awesome... this time, it was not so much. the food was good. the service was good. The cooking show wasn't as good as last time. In fact, it seemed like the chef didn't even try to put on a show this time. Which disappointed me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun, delicious, and entertainingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/15/2014My husband and I went to Benihana for my birthday dinner, and we also brought our 8 month old. They were very accommodating for our daughter, which was a definite plus. The food was great, and the chef was entertaining.They brought me ice cream with a candle in it and sang me Happy Birthday. We had a great experience, and can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Expected betterFamilyGuyDined on 5/10/2014After navigating a construction site to reach the building. Normally be a problem, but the poorly constructed ramp, with duct tape rails gave me a splinter. After introducing ourselves and notifying the hostess of our reservation, you acted disinterested and just pointed to some stairs and said "they're ready for you up there." we navigated the steep stairs to be seated. Our server was polite but didn't seem familiar with the menu when we asked questions. Our chef continued the mediocre experience. He looked like a drummer for a garage band and acted like he wished he was somewhere else. No flair, no performance, just boring narrative. The food was okay, but not great enough to make up for rest. Tepanyaki is better for less.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014We wish the chef would have been a little more interactive and fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the riskMommasGoingOutDined on 5/8/2014I recently dined at Benihana in SLC with coworkers. Once we were inside the building, the experience was fantastic, but there was construction which diverted foot traffic down an alley, then up a makeshift ramp. I was very glad not to be alone, it was unsettling. The food and service were enjoyable, however ending the evening down the alley after dark was not. I'll definitely wait to return until the proper sidewalk is reopened.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodFoodieDined on 5/7/2014Food was great and so was the chef. By far the best lobster I've ever eaten!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Love itbabycake12Dined on 4/28/2014We come here on a regular basis. They are pricey but we love the taste of the food and the show that you get with your food.Special Features:
- Cold Shoulderame69Dined on 4/24/2014The room was very cold. I wish I had worn a sweater or jacket because it was so cold, and that made it difficult to enjoy the meal to the fullest. But, the food was very good, and my dining companion (who had never eaten there before) loved the show and food. The only other thing I didn't really like was that our chef made the shrimp first (we had a duet lunch) and by the time the steak and scallops were done, the shrimp was cold and rubbery. I would like to have had it served at the same time as the vegetables. Have eaten here many times and really enjoy it!Special Features:
- Fun DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/16/2014Benihana is always been a family favorite our ours. We have always made it a place our family goes on special occasions. We love the food and the fun atmosphere. The chefs are always very entertaining and the quality of food is superb. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. You can even have a nice romantic dinner for 2. My husband and I have come on anniversary dates also and it has been a great place to celebrate. I highly recommend Benihana for the food, atmosphere and fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently Very Goodnbc1VIPDined on 4/11/2014We eat there regularly and always enjoy the food. It's also amazing how often we end up at a table with really nice people. They also have a great birthday program and they go out of their way to help celebrate a special occassion.Special Features:

It just so happened I booked it for this special weekend unbeknownst to me about his comment. It was all that I expected and more. The chef was talented, fun, and personable. The food was outstanding. The special birthday song for one of my girls was just plain fun. What a night they'll always remember.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Friend's birthday celebration!MadisonBDined on 3/28/2014We dined on a Friday evening and the food was tasty and the servers/cooks were all very friendly. The downside, which was a big downside for an enjoyable evening, was that we ordered two sushi rolls for appetizers, and they didn't deliver them until after the cook brought out all the ingredients to cook our meals, even though I had specifically asked them to give us some time before cooking the dinner, they must have forgotten and hurriedly brought out the rolls and started cooking dinner about the same time. Consequently there was just too much food on the table at the same time and no elbow room at all. As an apology, we received free ice cream for dessert, but what we really wanted was time to enjoy our meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Like its circular cousin, the Big Stitch Crocheted Rug, this knit version is made out of Bag Smith's Big Stitch Alpaca. It seems to say, "Make me into a gorgeous rug!". Seventy percent alpaca reinforced by a touch of wool and nylon, this yarn is ready to withstand rigorous duty with dignity and beauty!

Bind off loosely and weave in your ends.
54 Responses to Big Stitch Knit Rug
I'd like to make a 10X12 version of this. Would the magnum work and how much would I need? Would it be more cost effective to buy the rug already made?
So, is this actually knitted in the round or flat? I know, silly question, since it calls for circular needles but since it's a rug I figured it would be knitted flat.
Hi Kristen-
This is knit flat. The circular needles are used in this pattern just as you would use straight needles. The cable that connects the needles is used to hold the substantial width of the piece.
Thanks so much for getting in touch!
Love your work

The trash talking regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao doesn't only go one way.
Floyd has been active on social media the past week talking all kinds of trash. Prior to Christmas, he sent out his "Christmas card" that totally ripped Pacquiao. A few days later, Floyd shared a photo on Twitter of a guy who he said looked like a cross between Pac-Man and Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach:
Manny Pacquaio mixed with Freddie Roach. Meet my friend, Manny Roach pic.twitter.com/CCFAaeWza7
— Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) December 25, 2013
I have to admit, that guy does look like Roach.
Well Freddie wasn't about to let Floyd make him look like a dufus without so much as a response. He took a shot at Floyd's dad and trainer, Floyd Sr., by comparing the man to "Predator":

Many of us have received Taxol as part of our chemotherapy regimen. You likely know that it is generally given in one of two ways: either 4 times in the Dose Dense regimen (meaning an infusion every two weeks), or a smaller dose weekly for 9 or 12 weeks. The total amount of Taxol given is the same, but the dose can vary a lot depending on the schedule. This study, just presented at ASCO, suggests that the two schedules are equally effective, and the smaller weekly doses are much easier to take--fewer side effects. The disadvantage is that one has to show up for chemo every week, but many of us would choose the increased visits for fewer side effects.
Here is the beginning of the story from Patient Net and then a link to read more:
.. .. .. ....Two Commonly Used Paclitaxel Chemotherapy Schedules are Equally Effective for Early-Stage Breast Cancer, but One Has Fewer Side Effects
..Women with higher-risk, early-stage breast cancer who received weekly chemotherapy with paclitaxel (Taxol) after surgery as part of a clinical trial lived for the same amount of time without the cancer returning as those who received higher doses of the same drug every two weeks (known as dose-dense therapy). However, the researchers found that the women who received chemotherapy every week experienced fewer and less serious treatment-related side effects.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells, which work by stopping the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide. Drugs like paclitaxel are often given after surgery for breast cancer to kill any cancer cells that may remain in the body. Paclitaxel is usually given to patients either weekly or every two weeks, at a higher dose. Although doctors currently use both treatment schedules, this is the first time researchers have looked at whether they have different results for patients

Share the joys, disappointments and cravings two protein loving farm kids, David Jones and Carrie Isaacson, experience as they embark on an adventure to discover firsthand what it is like to be vegan. Follow @carrie_isaacson and @david_jones for more!
Probably, the biggest inspiration for our adventure into veganism is that so often we try to ask consumers to understand our perspectives as agriculturalists, when we don't attemp to understand their choices. This week will be an exercise in "walking in someone else's shoes," if you will. So join us if you want, make your attempt at veganism. Try to understand why someone would want to engage in this lifestyle. If we can do this, maybe, just maybe, we can be a little closer to gaining some common ground with consumers, understanding perspectives and communicating our positive messages as agriculturalists.
Until next time,
As always you can follow our adventures and see exclusive content on Facebook, on Carrie's blog or David's blog. Follow us on Twitter, @carrie_isaacson & @david_jones_.

The NFC South rivalry is legendary in the south, and fans from both sides converged on the Georgia Dome early Thursday for some intense tailgating. In the shadow of the Georgia Dome, one self-professed prophet called for a Falcons victory. "Holy Moses," as he is known, said the Falcons are "headed for the promised land"-- the Super Bowl. Others told us for them, it's all about revenge after the Saints handed Atlanta their only loss of the season thus far. Many Saints fans said after a disappointing season so far, their goal is to keep hope alive—playoff hopes, that is.

"So You Think You Can Dance" has been great for Utah dancers. Not only has the show come to town for four auditions, but Utahns have had a lot of success on Fox's reality/competition series.
In fact, Utah has been overrepresented. Locals have made the finals in six of the eight seasons, including one in Season 5, two in Season 2, three in Season 6 and four in Season 4. Utahn Sabra Johnson won the title of "America's favorite dancer" in Season 3. The state's most recent finalist was Tadd Gadduang in the 2011 season.
'So You Think You Can Dance'Season 9 of the reality TV series premieres Thursday, May 24, at 7 p.m. on Fox/Channel 13. It moves to its regular time slot on Wednesday, May 30, at 7 p.m. This year, the show will air once a week instead of twice.

Yet not everyone in the profession is enamored of the dance reality show. At the end of last season, The New York Times gathered a group of professional dancers to evaluate the show. In writer Elaine Stuart's story, they mocked the judges and the dancers, called the competition aspect "obscene," "cringed at the excessive kicks, splits and spins" and insisted, "These dancers wouldn't stand up to dancers in New York."
Creator/executive producer Nigel Lythgoe sounded indignant when he talked about the story's condescending tone.
"What I love about art in general is it has no barriers," he said. "There's no social barriers, no ethnic barriers. But art can create its own barriers. Which annoys the [expletive] out of me. Whatever way you can bring kids into the world of dance and have them passionate about it is the most important thing for me."
That's an opinion shared by Adam Sklute, artistic director of Ballet West and a former Joffrey Ballet dancer. "I love that dance right now is getting that much exposure," Sklute said. "I really think that, no matter what, that's beneficial to all of us who are in the business."
As for "So You Think You Can Dance" in particular, "I watch it all the time," Sklute said. "It's great."
It's a TV show » Dancers in the Times story criticized "SYTYCD" contestants for showing too much emotion. "This is totally for ratings," said one.
Well, yes, it is a TV show.
Gadduang acknowledged that dancers belittle the show — until they're cast in it. "When I got cut Season 5, I had that mentality — 'Oh, it's not a dance competition,' " he said. "Which is true. It's a television show."
But then he made the cut for the 2011 season. "You definitely do dance. I can attest to that," he added with a laugh. "They really make you dance. Did you know we were on IVs backstage? They dance you until you pass out."
"SYTYCD" is "unashamedly a reality show," said host Cat Deeley. "But you have to remember it's an entertainment show. Essentially, what we do is we find great characters and personalities and it's all about their stories. And dance is the narrative that runs through it."
Personality matters » Part of the reason the show crowns the "favorite" instead of the "best" dancer is that dancing talent alone won't win it for a contestant.
"A lot of it is personality," said producer Jeff Thacker. "We always say, 'Every smile's a vote.' It's about who you are as well as what you can do."
Personality plays a massive part in the competition, Deeley said. "Every year we have somebody who's a bit different or a bit quirky or has a great story," she said. "Because people who aren't necessarily into dance, that's what hooks them in."
Those stories have hooked Christiana Bennett, a principal dancer with Ballet West.
"I love that show!" she said. "I get so excited. I get really involved in the dancers. I get very invested in these people."

Overheard In Restaurant: "Make Mine Cottonseed"
While many consumers identify with the cotton plant because its fiber has clothed them for most of their lives, Cotton Incorporated Director of Cottonseed Research & Marketing, Tom Wedegaertner, is working with Oregon State University's Food Innovation Center (FIC) to expand the miracle plant's status as a great source for glandless cottonseed food products.
Before thinking unfavorably of this idea because of commercialization failures with glandless cottonseed in the past, be aware – things have changed.
"First approved by the FDA for human consumption in the 1970s, glandless cottonseed, as a commercial variety for planting, didn't work out because it lacked the natural pest deterrent gossypol, and there were processing, quality control and marketing issues," says Wedegaertner. "New technology will overcome those issues."
Scientific Progress Rewarded
Fast forward to 2006 when, after multiple years of Cotton Incorporated funding, Texas A&M Plant Biotechnologist, Dr. Keerti Rathore, successfully used a gene-suppression technology, Ribonucleic Acid Interference (RNAi), reducing levels of gossypol in the seed while allowing it to be retained in the plant and roots. A major enzyme was silenced with this process and is the same enzyme that is missing in the naturally occurring, gossypol-free, glandless plant.
Glandless cottonseed was discovered in the 1950s and since then, interest in growing it in New Mexico (due to low bug pressure) and using it has led to food processing and product utilization research. As a result, Cotton Incorporated and the FIC have been conducting research and development to bring edible cottonseed to market.
New Food Products
During the August Cotton Board & Cotton Incorporated joint Board meeting in Portland, FIC presented a wide range of potential food products including hummus, high-energy snack bars and Tabouli. Cottonseed has also been used as a dairy products substitute.
"The cotton plant is one of the most versatile plants in the world," says Taylor Slade, North Carolina cotton producer and Cotton Incorporated director. "It's encouraging to see the work with cottonseed reach this stage of development."
Now that Cotton Incorporated is armed with such a wide range of marketable food applications for cottonseed, the subsequent order of business will be to find a food developer to commercialize the products in New Mexico. The team, including Wedegaertner and the FIC, will travel to that region in September to work toward that goal.
The end goal for Cotton Incorporated is to achieve a mainstream product availability of cottonseed via the gene-suppression research conducted at Texas A&M. Although a few years away from reality, edible cottonseed, and the product development and utilization research surrounding it, will continue to be explored in New Mexico in anticipation of increased product availability in the future.
The Cotton Board, which administers the Cotton Research and Promotion Program conducted by Cotton Incorp-orated, contributed information for this article.

I spent most of yesterday cruising the back-roads close to the Nicaraguan border hoping to come across new nectar plant species, but the whole lowland area is parched through lack of rain. One spectacular sight during the day was this beautiful Guanacaste tree, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, the national tree of Costa Rica.
Following a particularly colorful sunset, viewed from the butterfly farm, the manager and his staff had some success in our search for the beetle we are trying to bring into a sustainable captive breeding program.
Megasoma elephas , the elephant beetle, is a spectacular insect and we hope that bringing it into such a program will allow the butterfly farm to diversify somewhat. There is definitely a demand for these wonderful beetles as live exhibits in insect zoos etc. around the country. Shown are a minor male (with greatly shortened 'horn') and a female.
Accompanied by a small Eco-tour group lead by the reserve manager, Ernesto Rodriguez, and our long-time friend and collaborator Mark Deering, we returned to the slopes of Volcan Orosi for another night of observations and photography.
|'White witch' moth, almost 10" wingspan
The air was a little less humid, the temperature a little higher and consequently we observed many different moths and other invertebrate species coming to our lights.
A beautiful large katydid, approximately
4 inches in length.
What an amazing diversity of insects there is here, no two nights are the same; fascinating!
Harlequin beetle, Acrocinus longimanus,
trying to blend in with Ernesto's sneaker...
Despite the lack of rain at this lower elevation, a morning walk in the forest reveals many interesting plants, a few of which are featured here.
Palms of many species proliferate, interspersed with towering, yellow-flowering Tabebuia chrysantha, Bursera simaruba and a host of others which I do not recognise from their bark alone.
Nocturnal surveying at Estacion Pitilla on the slope of Volcan Orosi (at 700 meters above sea-level) using mercury vapor lights to attract all manner of insects yielded a rich diversity of beetles, moths and katydids. Above and below are two particularly spectacular specimens.
I awoke this morning to the sound of Howler monkeys; it really is gratifying to know that the conservation efforts here at El Bosque Nuevo are having a positive effect. This existing natural forest, and the areas being re-planted with native trees, are a haven for all manner of wildlife whose habitats are being threatened more and more by land clearance for citrus plantations.
Welcome to El Bosque Nuevo, one of Fairchild's major butterfly suppliers. Two breeding cages, as shown below, are used to produce over 2,000 eggs of Morpho peleides every day.
The rains have not yet started here in the Guanacaste region, so nocturnal surveying for moths and beetles, starting tonight, will be focusing on the forested slopes of the Orosi volcano. Check back and see what we find tonight!
Learn more about El Bosque Nuevo here: http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=9fe56309b82ab73b272277ca5&id=7bd6fc15f3
Did you know that Fairchild has butterfly pupae shipped from around the world nearly every day? The Wings of the Tropics exhibit is home to nearly 3,000 exotic butterflies native to Central and South America, and Asia, all of which are sent to Fairchild Garden to create this truly unforgettable paradise!
For the next week Fairchild's exhibit Manager Martin Feather will travel to northern Costa Rica and visit one of Fairchild's most important suppliers, El Bosque Nuevo. Join Martin on this journey and follow his posts as he surveys beetles and moths by night and searches for plants and their seeds by day in the Guanacaste region of this beautiful country.

State revenue down 13% in February, down $41m for the year so far
Revenues for January and February are $28 million below estimates.
Although February is a small month for revenues, the state took in $71.1 million, $10.7 million less than budget writers' estimate of $81.8 million.
For the fiscal year to date, revenues are down $41.1 million, or 3.8 percent, although $34 million of the shortfall is from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax hospitals pay for in-patient services. The hospitals and the state disagree over how much is owed.
The most significant shortfall in revenue for February is the telecommunications tax which produced $2.5 million, while estimates were for $6.6 million, a 62 percent decrease. For the year to date, the levy is short $13.2 million.
Lawmakers last year barred the state from taxing Internet access. Department of Revenue Administration Commissioner Kevin Clougherty predicted the change in law would cost the state between $18 million to $19 million.
Business taxes are down $4.4 million, which includes $4.3 million in refunds. For the fiscal year, businesses taxes are $6 million below estimates of $268.6 million.
Refunds of $1.3 million in interest and dividends taxes also impacted revenues for the month.
Tobacco taxes continue to perform below estimates of $15.4 million, returning $13.2 million. The tobacco tax was reduced in the last budget by 10 cents a pack.
Department of Administrative Services Commissioner Linda Hodgdon said the good news for the month are the real estate transfer and rooms and meals taxes, both continue to surpass expectations.

5 funds to buy for rising interest rates
Protect yourself through a number of fixed-income strategies.
Looking at the state of the fixed-income markets lately, it is apparent many participants have gone from blindly trusting that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates low, to second-guessing just how hawkish the Fed could get before yea''s end.
Although the transparency of the Fed's intentions has been unprecedented, that hasn't exactly been a good thing for bond investors. As a stronger-than-expected labor market continues to gain momentum, institutions and individuals have been spooked out of their fixed-income positions over fears that the taper timetable could imminently be moved forward.
So, if you depend on a reliable income stream from your portfolio, how should you navigate the remainder of 2013? In my opinion, now is the time to follow all investments very closely, and not simply buy and hold your way through what could be a very serious storm in both the equity and fixed-income markets (fabiancm.com).
On a percentage basis since the most recent low, the rise in interest rates has been awe-inspiring. Although we could very well be nearing a point of stabilization in the very near-term, I think it's prudent to put forth solid investment options that could serve as a life raft in the event we are just in the eye of the hurricane.
A few funds that I find appealing if we continue to see volatility in interest rates include:
Rydex Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy
One of the purest forms of protecting your portfolio from the ravages of interest-rate risk is to add a fund that shorts Treasury bonds.
My favorite fund in this arena is the Rydex Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy (RYJUX). This mutual fund seeks to provide investment returns that inversely correlate, before fees and expenses, to the daily price movement of the current Long Treasury Bond.
Put simply, when long-term treasury bonds fall by 1%, this fund will rise by 1%.
One of the benefits of owning RYJUX is that it allows you to profit from rising rates without having to use excessive leverage or shorting strategies. You can use this type of fund to hedge your existing long bond positions, but I would only recommend doing so as a short-term trading opportunity. Whenever you are shorting the market, you want to be sure you don't get caught on the wrong side of a swift reversal.
PIMCO Low Duration Fund/DoubleLine Low Duration Bond Fund
Conservative investors not looking to hedge existing positions, but simply lower their risk and exposure to interest rates, should consider a low-duration bond fund.
Although not completely immune to forces at work in the fixed income markets, low-duration bond funds simply offer lower risk in exchange for lower reward. The yield and volatility of these vehicles are roughly half their intermediate duration brethren. This option could present an excellent safe harbor (fabiancm.com) for retirees or minimum-volatility seekers who aren't concerned with a few months of reduced coupon payments.
Two funds that I favor in this space are the DoubleLine Low Duration Bond Fund (DBLSX), and the PIMCO Low Duration Fund (PTLDX). Both options present competitive fees, excellent diversification and great track records. The current SEC yield of each fund is 1.69% and 0.69%, respectively.
An excellent strategic approach to making use of low-duration funds is simply holding them while you wait for rates to ultimately rise to levels that present lower prices and higher yields. Then elongate duration through an intermediate- or long-term bond fund. This strategy could work great if timed precisely, thereby increasing your yield once interest-rate volatility subsides.
Osterweis Strategic Income Fund
Managed by the boutique investment management firm Osterweis Capital Management, the the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund's (OSTIX) strategy seeks to provide capital preservation in concert with long-term total return.
The fund typically invests in short-duration high-yield bonds, as well as convertible bonds, to achieve its objectives. However, the strategy carries the flexibility to allocate anywhere in the fixed-income universe. This type of flexibility presents a great value proposition since it isn't forced to hold longer-duration Treasury and agency MBS holdings that make up the Barclays aggregate bond index.
It is a "risk-aware" strategy, meaning it will adapt to changes in interest rates, or move to cash in an attempt to shield its investors from an unfavorable investment outcome. This is precisely what OSTIX has done for investors in the month following the recent Fed-induced volatility.
Fidelity Floating Rate High Income
One of the easiest ways to shelter your income portfolio from rising interest rates is to shorten the duration of your holdings.
Floating rate notes make an excellent alternative to traditional fixed income because they contain an adjustable coupon feature that resets every 90 days according to an interest rate index such as Libor. This makes them less susceptible to interest-rate volatility. However, the key trade-off with senior loans is that you are swapping interest-rate risk for credit risk, as most loans are rated below investment grade.
My favorite floating-rate note mutual fund is the Fidelity Floating Rate High Income (FFRHX) which has a current 30-day SEC yield of 2.83% and is actively managed to capitalize on opportunities in this market. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.71% and currently holds more than $6.8 billion in assets. FFRHX has diversified its holdings across many different sectors, and consistently holds higher-quality notes than many more aggressive strategies.

"i was hoping to avoid any extra stuffers in our inviations if it were possible, but there are certain things you should inform your guests of, so i added info about parking and arrival times and gift registraion type stuff... the only thing that wasnt perfect(for me), would be the back side of this card. the diagonal stripes Do Not go all the way to the bottom of the card (artist choice) , it just seemed unfinished to me, so i asked that they add a "text box" to the space and using the same font and color; add our names & wedding date to fill it out. when they arrived it was exactly as i asked for and i am a happy girl :)"
"I chose my wedding invitation in the watermelon color which was a neutral pink. I absolutely love them. Complimentary review was included and my invites arrived earlier than expected (this was with standard shipping). I am very pleased with Wedding Paper Diva."
"We also did a redesign on the direction card because we are having the wedding / reception at one location and a huge after party immediately following at a different location. We were able to easily able to redesign to have only the name, address and start time for each event on the card. The designer did a wonderful job getting the wording properly lined up and balanced on the card. Very, very pleased."

STEVENS POINT, Wis (WSAU) About 80 Stevens Point teachers are asking the school board not to renew the contract of superintendent Attila Weninger. The school board says they'll wait August to decide.
Weninger's contract runs through the end of the 2014 school year. But if the board didn't take action last night, the contract would have automatically renewed.
Many teachers spoke during the public comment session, complaining of Weninger's managerial style - saying he hasn't solved many of the district's problems like growing class size and tighter budgets. Some teachers say they'll continue to speak out at future board meetings.
Weninger was at last night's board meeting, but didn't respond to the teachers' complaints.

Police believe a 72-year-old Sandwich man was suffering from some kind of medical emergency when he crashed his 2005 GMC Envoy into the back of another vehicle on Route 130 Friday evening and then, a bit further down the road, into a tree.
The man, who was not identified by police, told investigators that he had no recollection of either collision and was not sure where he was coming from or where he was heading to.
Police first learned of the incidents when a caller reported that the Envoy had crashed into a tree on Route 130 at 6:28 PM.
When police said when they arrived, they found the truck against the tree. The truck had heavy front-end damage. The police report states that there were no skid marks in the road.
While on that scene, police learned that the same truck had earlier crashed into the rear of a vehicle at the corner of Route 130 and Jan Sebastian Drive.
No one was injured in either crash, however paramedics took the man to Cape Cod Hospital for medical evaluation.

My Brother's iPod Case
My brother is a huge Coheed and Cambria fan. Last year, my parents got it in their heads that they'd buy him a new iPod for his birthday, and they mentioned that to me, I offered to chip in for a customized case: polished steel on one side with his name etched on the cover, and the Co & Ca "Keywork" logo airbrushed on the back. I knew a shop in Madison that could do the artwork, so I bought a case, left the instructions, and was told to come back in a week to pick up the finished product.
I went back to the store to retrieve the case, but I was mortified to discover that my brother's name as misspelled on the cover: "Tim Buaman." I pointed out the error, but while the manager offered to fix it for free, it would be another week before I could get the case and mail it back to New Jersey—I'd miss my brother's birthday by several days.
So I went home and sent my parents an email that started something like this:
