Housing: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
By Marie Palumbo - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: DHI, ETH, BX
Institutional investors are financing the housing recovery. In Phoenix, for example, the share of institutional investors in the market increased to 26%, a 10% increase from the previous year. And in Miami, institutional investors funded 30% of all sales. Housing starts are up, home prices are rising, and construction is bustling. However, caveats like slowing furniture sales and rising mortgage rates remain.

America Movil's Challenges Keep Coming
By Joshua Bondy - July 25, 2013 | Tickers: AMX, TEF, BX
The Mexican telecom market isn't known for its quality or affordability. America Movil (NYSE: AMX) is the dominant player, and it has been able to use its strong grip on the nation's infrastructure to fend off competitors. Now, calls for more competition are squeezing America Movil's margins. The company is still a dominate monopolist with strong local connections, but it is important to contextualize its financials.
Single Family Home Giant Grows in a New Way
By Reuben Brewer - July 24, 2013 | Tickers: RESI, ARPI, SBY, BX
Blackstone (NYSE: BX) is following a competitor's cue and is planning to lend to smaller investment buyers in the single family home market. That could be a nice addition to its massive portfolio, but also suggests there's still upside in the nascent single-family home sector.
One of the main hallmarks of the 2007 to 2009 recession and subsequent slow recovery has been a conservative shift by banks. Although more »
Housing Is Back...Observe Thy Leader!

It's always a good idea to pay attention to what the world's largest private-equity firm is doing with its business. That's because it's usually the first canary to sing the song of a new business trend. Back in November 2012, the boss of Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) had called the bottom in the housing market. Specifically, he said that "This is the kind of thing that more »
Underwriting the New Gold Mine on Wall Street
By Alexander Cho - July 23, 2013 | Tickers: BLK, GS, BX
The asset-management industry is probably one of the most lucrative hot spots in the financial sector. This is primarily driven by the fact that stocks are trending higher, and it allows for asset-management companies to reap the benefits with performance fees. Both Blackstone (NYSE: BX) and BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) have been able to benefit from record moves in equity prices.

Are Single Family REITs for Real?
By Reuben Brewer - July 5, 2013 | Tickers: ARPI, SBY, BX
The 2007 to 2009 recession helped usher in a new institutional real estate asset class. Do single family real estate investment trusts (REITs) have legs?
A New Old Market
Investor-owned single family homes aren't new. However, because of the complexities of managing large numbers of single family homes, large investors generally shied away from it. The housing-led recession changed things.
Suddenly, institutional buyers could come in and buy large more »
Is This a Baby Berkshire or Not?
By AnnaLisa Kraft - June 26, 2013 | Tickers: BRK-B, LUK, BX
Editor's Note: A previous version of this post stated that Leucadia had an interest in Fortescue Metals Group and Inmet Mining. This has been corrected.
Leucadia National (NYSE: LUK) has often been called a baby Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B). It does have many similarities to Berkshire and even has a 50-50 joint venture with them in the Berkadia Commercial Mortgage company. But where do the similarities end?

Is Wall Street Behind the Housing Rally?
By Lior Cohen - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: DHI, NVR, BX
The ongoing recovery of the housing market raised the concern that we are heading toward another bubble that could burst in the near future. In a recent article in The New York Times, the authors made the argument that big Wall Street firms such as The Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) might be behind the latest recovery of the housing market. Let's examine this assessment and analyze the recent developments more »
What Will Come Out of the Battle for Dell?
By Mike Thiessen - June 6, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, IEP, BX
Since many seasoned market-watchers were skeptical about the plausibility of the original buyout proposal from the alliance between Silver Lake Capital and Michael Dell, it should come as no surprise that Carl Icahn and other parties have rallied to oppose the deal. However, the fluid situation in which big-name computer manufacturer Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) finds itself has surprised even the most hardened observers.

Earning income from owning profit-producing assets sounds great. It is.

Are you paying down the mortgage on that first house? How about the extra cash to take your family out to dinner? Regardless of the scenario, REITs can be an effective solution to portfolio needs.

Three Housing Plays to Hold Forever
By AnnaLisa Kraft - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: HHC, BX, TOL
As I wrote before, I'm not entirely sold on a housing boom, what with college debt levels increasing and impoverishing what should be a new generation of homebuyers.
However, three companies hold properties that they've either bought at fire sale prices or are upscale enough they wouldn't attract first time homebuyers. Those companies are Blackstone (NYSE: BX), Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) and Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOLmore »)

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Obviously, the attempt was to repair the damage created by offering an open forum for anyone and everyone to rant about everything NOT related to looking for a group. I mean, really, who enjoyed reading all the stupid Chuck Norris crap and comments about everyone's mother in the prior LFG channel? I usually turned it off until I needed to find a group.
The new solution would probably work if you could specify what classes and/or levels you wanted in your group rather than a simple auto-join where you could end up with three warriors in a 5 man dungeon group. They just need to refine the options a little and I guarantee folks will start using it once they get a piece or two of epic PvP armor and the battlegrounds get old and monotonous.

It's Countryside- Life outside Cairo
A fantastic short film shared by Zawia magazine documents life outside Cairo, particularly in Sohag in Upper Egypt. While the south generates massive state income from tourism in addition to providing much of Egypt's food, wealth has been in the hands of too few and the money never circulates back into these local economies. Egypt's highly centralized system has had severe impact on the economy and development of small and medium sized cities.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Attorney General Greg Abbott is conceding that learning where dangerous chemicals are stored in Texas can be a challenge.
The Republican nominee for governor has faced scrutiny since a May ruling by his office that tightened public access to information about chemical stockpiles in their communities. He told reporters this week that most people could still identify chemical facilities with a "drive around" their neighborhood.
But in an interview Wednesday, Abbott told The Associated Press that the information is "challenging to get."
He's proposing that fire stations replace the state as the first stop for citizens who want to know whether large quantities of dangerous chemicals are nearby.
A spokesman for Democrat Wendy Davis, Abbott's opponent in November, mocked that plan and accused Abbott of scrambling after a backlash.

Comments about Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm, Light, 1.18 fl oz:
Wanted to try a BB cream and thought I would give this a shot. I've been using it daily for about 3 week and really, really like it! It's light-weight and goes on very smoothly. I bought the light shade for my fair skin, and it almost is translucent when it goes on. I blend it with a dab of serum and don't even have to put moisturizer on! The finish is natural and matte-ish, but not cakey at all.
My only complaint is that if you stand the tube on its end, a lot pools into the cap - easily resolved with a Q-tip, but a bit of a pain
- Skin Tone:
- Fair
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great quality cat food...top of the line!
posted 5 years ago
I was feeding this to my cats until we discovered my youngest was allergic to chicken and had to find a duck based food. My cats looked great and shed very little. They loved it!
Pros: No grains, quality ingrediants over all #1
Cons: very expensive

Cats love it
posted 5 years ago
My cats come running as soon as I pop open the can. They love this food far better than any other canned food I have fed them. I wish the store I buy it from had more of a selection. I am not even sure if there are additional flavors but their selection was poor. It costs a bit more but I feel better knowing they are eating a nutritious food.
Pros: No grains
Cons: Costly

Defiant Try to stay on the subject without your constantly evading the issue. Typical ploy of one that has no answer, no substance and no facts.<quoted text>
These bleeding heart morons like Blarney and his ilk are only using Martin and Zimmerman to further their anti-gun agenda. They did it with the massacre at Sandy Hook and they are still looking for any excuse to
Echoes Of Zimmerman
Stand Your Ground law illuminates its basic fundamental infrastructure that cast shadows, where the vigilantly seek their sanctuary.
Why even mass killers could seek sanctuary within the Stand Your Ground laws. Citing they feared for their lives from there victims.
Milwaukee gives us an example; A jury has been selected with one back person selected to decide the fate of the convicted John Spooner of first degree intentionally homicide.
John Spooner {white} shot and killed a 13 year old {black} Darius Simmons in May of 2012. Darius was retrieving his families garbage cans when John Spooner approached him.
John Simmons demanded that Darius return his 4 shot guns, that he suspected, that Darius stole from his home 2 days prior. Darius denied any knowledge of those 4 shotguns and their theft. John then shoots and kills Darius.
Presently the defense of John Spooner moves the trial into its second phase requesting that John Spooner {76 Year Old} was not responsible due to his mental health.
Milwaukee has demonstrated, through their police department, on occasions, of racial insensitivities.
One example; the police denied a 22 year old {black} Derek Williams, was demonstrated, when he collapsed in the back of their police car, complains of unable to breath. Denying him CPR, until after he died. A more recent example; Dariuss Mother was denied to accompany her child to the hospital. Holding her in the back of police cars for questioning, lasting an hour and half !
Police then search her home and find no evidence linking Darius to the theft of the 4 Shoot Guns. They then arrest Dariuss brother for 5 municipal warrants.
Internal police investigators found none of its police policies were violated. Admitting only that A dimension of racial insensitivity that negatively influenced the trust of some members of the community!
Mr. Gimbel, defense lawyer for John Spooner stresses that this is not a racial issue. Fearing links to the Zimmermans acquittal will have negative effects on the juries decision. Producing several neighbors from the neighborhood, of all races that John Spooner was well liked and not racial.
Voices on the street are passing the conceptions of their populace. There wouldnt be no loopholes if the roles were reversed and If John Spooner gets off like Zimmerman, then this whole system is a mess.
Now when will Defiant grows a set and becomes defiant to his own nonsense and lack of any authority.

Personal Windmill Turbine: Democratic Ecology
Coming this September - a nifty little device that supposedly can generate 20-60% of the energy needed to power a home. The designer is Philippe Starck, the manufacturer is Pramac and the selling price is a not totally crazy...
...400 euros, or approximately $633.
Introduced this year at Milan's Greenergy Design show, the "Democratic Ecology" windmill design is elegant and the concept of personal mini windmills providing renewable wind energy to homes is so engaging - we can't wait to find out more.
We have a few big questions right off the top - for instance, what else will be required to convert the power or attach it to the grid and what will the installation costs be like? But for now, we are intrigued and look forward to more info on the product in the coming months.

You can read briefly about small scale wind power at Wiki:
More depth info here:
We can supposedly make our own, but I'm just not getting excited about generator shopping:
They suggest getting creative. I am wondering how many of these it would take to make some power:
Probably reasonable to suppose that nothing more will be required to connect it to the grid will be the same sort of power inverter that one uses with solar panels. I just want to know if there are any ordinances that would prohibit putting this on a Brooklyn Brownstone provided it is not visible from the street.
whoops - meant to say "nothing more will be required to connect it to the grid THAN the same sort of power inverter "
It would be amazing if this was actually inexpensive AND worked well. Seems like it would have gotten way more press if it was as good as they're saying.
Yes, lots of questions, like how much power does it produce? That is the most important question, and of course it's not mentioned at all. 20-60% of all electricity needs is a generic statement. People need to be very careful and skeptical with small scale wind turbines. They are typically much too expensive for a realistic payback, and that money could be used towards other renewable energy devises, better insulation, geothermal, solar panels etc. How well these work also are heavily dependent, obviously, on installation location & local wind speeds.
I just dream of when this kind of stuff regularly gets more mainstream press. When I suggested to my dad that he look into wind or solar power after he was b*&ching about the power bill the other day, he suggested that it may detract from his home value or that the city would not approve the installation...
Needless to say we got into an argument about what a stupid mindset that was, but my point is that there are just too many close-minded people still out there. I love hearing about this stuff and can't wait until this stuff is mainstream and easily compatible with many systems, which will not be soon enough!
Keep it coming!
I won't make the assumption that I would have gotten more press, because products that are TRULY green and help people take measurable steps toward greener living tend to get less publicity than the ones that encourage baby steps. If this works and is easy to use, there would be very little argument for not using it. It seems like a great alternative energy solution. Maybe one this days "alternative" energy will be the rule and not the exception.
I'm very interested in this idea of small, rotor wind turbines (as opposed to the windmill kind). This is something I can see popping up and being very effective in both urban and rural settings. I've seem some better looking ones than Starck's tho.
I would get one of these in a heartbeat if we could hook it up to our home and save on power costs. Unlike many AT'ers, we don't have space or zoning problems -- benefits of living in the country.
For the folks complaining that this didn't make mainstream press, Starck's wind turbine was featured on NPR this morning. That leaves me wondering what people mean by "mainstream" news. Do you mean channels like MSNBC or FOX? I guess I just think of those stations as police chases and celebrity gossip.
I wasn't trying to be close minded, sorry for the misunderstanding... Being in the green building profession it's my job to design energy efficient green homes. It's important to be critical and question the marketing because there are a lot of companies who are taking advantage of the green fad and consumers who don't do their homework. A lot of turbine claims are based on very unrealistic wind speeds. I'd like to see some performance data and feedback from user experience. For example what is the kWh rating? What is the lowest average windspeed required for it to be feasible? How loud is it? How large is it?
As I previously stated, it would be great if this wind turbine truly only cost $600 and could power 60% of a home's electricity. If this is the case, this product is a huge breakthrough which is why it should be getting way more press. Most turbines cost between $5000-$30,000... I think there's a lot of cool looking turbines out there, but unfortunately most of them, on a small scale, don't create enough power and cost too much to be green and cost effective. Until the technology gets better put your money into other energy saving techniques.
Good link to how this works:
If it works, people in Kansas should be cornering the market for these.
Buildings, especially residential ones don't particularly like wind turbine towers mounted directly on them. The oscillations can be crazy, even on a vertical-axis unit like this. Better to have it on its own tower with plenty of unobstructed area to capture wind. In urban situations, I think photovoltaics and solar thermal hot water and space heating tend to make the most sense. Has anyone tried permitting these things in a city? Not easy. Not impossible either, but there are a bunch of factors to deal with b/c of their height, visibility, noise potential, not to mention what would the neighbors think. I'll admit though, this is one of the most beautiful VAWTs I've ever seen.

"Gourmet leftovers," these the words of friend John, suggesting that Friday would be a good time for us to get together with them for yet more turkey.
"As soon as I get back from Anaheim," I replied. I knew he had to be thinking one of two things—either "they got good Black Friday deals down there?" or "you Canadians and your hockey." Why else would I not be part of the shopping extravaganza happening in L.A. and head thirty miles south? It was hockey.
When I got there, the buzz was not good. "It's time to do some housecleaning." I overheard that in the parking lot. Keep this in mind when you think about the Ducks' recent record: 2-10-4 in the past sixteen games. Something's gotta change. Some people are talking about the coach, as I suspect was the case in the example just cited. Others are saying it's time for the GM to bet busy. At the least, the team needs to move its AHL-calibre players back and forth more often.
At the moment, they have a few youngsters who go up and down (or in and out of the big team's lineup), namely Nate Guenin, Matt Beleskey, Nick Bonino. Throw Kyle Palmieri and Patrick Maroon into the mix, along with Dan Sexton. Recent draftee Devante Smith-Pelly hasn't made a trip to Rochester as of yet, but he might be next. But would that solve anything?
When the team gets out to a bad start, it generally loses despite often coming back and tying or nearly doing so. When it jumps out to a lead, as it did Friday, often that is squandered, as it was Friday.
After the games, the players say what they're supposed to. The coach also. These days, his language has tended more toward words like "compete" as in, "we've got to compete at a higher level," according to a recent newspaper story. In fact, he used four different versions of the word in one paragraph.
Because the Ducks are all saying what they need to, you might rightly conclude that nobody's given up yet. So why the need to change anything? Did you look at the record cited above? Have you looked at a league standings table of late? That reminds me of something else I heard in the parking lot. "They're nearly down to where the Islanders are," the voice said, "and pretty soon that's exactly where they'll be." What else can be done?
Fire Randy Carlyle. I'm not saying that's my idea. But it is what people are thinking. What people? The heartless buggers who have forgotten their history. Carlyle has been beloved since he led the team to the Stanley Cup in 2007. It's not just for his success, but also for his candor. He handles the media (and by extension communicates with the fans in a way that's unique in the league. Simply put, he's not going to shine you on with cliches, but rather gives at least one meaningful comment—sometimes a jab at a player, sometimes a specific compliment—every time he talks.
Yet at some point, that means nothing unless the team wins some games. Friday, they came out flying and scored the first two goals against Chicago before three minutes had elapsed. Then they steadily gave it back, first in the form of a goal by Patrick Sharp which was really the result of Captain Jonathan Toews' hard work coming from the left boards to the slot to knock a loose puck back to Sharp after the latter had hit the post with his first attempt. Then the Ducks gave back the momentum by taking a couple of penalties, in a row, and letting the Blackhawks close the shot differential.
It might have been a tie game but for the Hawks taking a penalty of their own and allowing Finnish assassin Teemu Selanne to cruise to the low right slot, tee up a puck, and fire a slap shot off Duncan Keith's stick and up over Corey Crawford's shoulder. It was Selanne's second point of the game, his 21st of the year.
The Ducks took another penalty with 4:01 left in the period and the shots at 11 for them, seven for Chicago. By the end, it was nine, and the last one was a goal. The puck came to Dave Bolland from a pass off to the right of the net. Bolland had put the puck into the space behind the cage to start with. A few seconds later, it came off of Andrew Brunette to Bolland to bury in the left side of the net.
So it was 3-2 Ducks after a frame, and they'd blown an early two-goal lead. They'd taken penalties right and left. They'd done, in other words, everything they know they ought not to do, and everything they keep saying will not be their pattern anymore.
At some point, see, it can't just be about what they say. What must matter is the actions on the ice. And this team is seemingly bent on undoing whatever good they do nearly as soon as they do it.
Period two was more like it should have been. While Chicago steadily took over in terms of shots on goal, the scoring was restricted to what the Ducks managed to do, which was to pot another one to lead 4-2.
It all went to heck in period three. The Hawks by the time there were six minutes gone had pulled out a 34-17 advantage in shots. The Ducks hadn't had a shot in the period, and they had registered only five in period two. But they managed to surrender three goals, unbelievably enough. These came in the first 3:33 of period three. On the third, by Patrick Sharp, the hats flew. In fact, one hit Jonas Hiller on his way to the bench. And there were only about ten or twelve of them out there.
The Blackhawks added one more near the midway point, and the Ducks put on a push to end the game, with Bobby Ryan diving through the crease to chase one and just putting it wide, but there wasn't enough there, and with the other side having gotten up by two by that point, it was out of reach. The Ducks did add a goal with 7.2 seconds left, though after the game, Carlyle said, commenting on what had gone right for his team, "We scored four goals, well, that last one made five, and we should have protected that lead."
In other words, what the Ducks did in trying to come back was a bit too little, way too late.
Jonathan Toews had a career-best five points on the night, though he said, "You don't keep count of them while you're out there; you just know when you're down that you've got to go get another one" and he added that he had been glad to have beaten the Ducks' top line.
In fact, his line scored the one that had tied it and also the fifth one, both against Getzlaf's line. Bobby Ryan admitted to that being unacceptable in his post-game comments. "It's amazing how quick the tempo changes," he began. "They scored two goals, and we kind of accepted our fate."
He also added what might be the most telling comment of the evening: "We've addressed it to exhaustion in here, and we're obviously not taking out of the room what we're supposed to take out of here."
Coach Carlyle, I had hoped, would come out and make some kind of a comment that would either make sense of things or make light of them. It would even have been OK to use sarcasm. Nothing of the sort came out of his mouth. "If we had the answer, we'd be trying to correct it right now." He then cited energy and consistency, talking about what his team had done right early. But in the end he made a diagnosis: "It was like we were freezing up, like we don't want the puck. It's unbelievable from a coaching standpoint that you can't get through the neutral ice on a simple trap."
He talked some more and went back to the freezing up metaphor. A couple of times, in fact. Is that the key? The Ducks better thaw out by Sunday, when Toronto comes to town.
So back it was to I-5 for me. You've likely gathered that the game Friday was not an evening affair, but a matinee. 1pm local time, after the Ducks spent part of Thursday serving American Thanksgiving dinner to thousands of people at the arena. So in fact, I did make it back up the freeway for those leftovers, and despite that word not having the best connotations at other times of the year, on this day, they were superb, even if they hockey hadn't quite been.
Bobby Ryan left the ice near the end of period two Wednesday night against Phoenix with a hip injury. He showed no signs of pain on his goal Friday afternoon, storming across the crease following his own shot and getting the rebound, then sweeping it past the goalie. His coda: going to the right glass and jumping into it with his chest in celebration. It was his tenth point of the season on six goals.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
Neurodiagnostic technology assists in diagnosing problems with the brain, nervous system, and sleep habits of humans. Someone in this profession uses complex diagnostic equipment to perform tests that target these three areas of the human body. The neurodiagnostic technologist can be referred to as a neuro tech or tech. He works in a hospital or outpatient clinic setting. He is usually the person who discovers abnormalities that allow the physician to diagnosis and treat a patient's problems.
A neuro tech is responsible for doing a variety of tests that look at how the brain, nerves, and muscles work. He talks with patients and prepares them for testing by explaining what is going to occur, how it will affect them, and why the results of the testing will assist the patient's physician. He performs the test then ensures that results are accurate. He recognizes and corrects abnormalities caused by sources other than the patient.
The neuro tech will review, edit, and offer explanation for test results prior to sending them to the physician. He needs to ensure that the information the report relays has value and is easy for the physician to interpret and apply to the patient's clinical condition. He will need to account for normal variances versus abnormalities in testing results.
Would you make a good neurodiagnostic technologist? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
The neuro tech is capable of performing a variety of advanced diagnostic tests. He can perform electroencephalograms that measure electrical activity of the brain. He can perform nerve conduction studies that measure how the brain conducts messages to various nerves throughout the body. He can also do electromyography, which measures the electrical activity of skeletal muscles. He can also do intraoperative monitoring of nerves and muscle responses. These are just a few of the studies that the neuro tech can assist with or perform independently.
A neuro tech must be comfortable working with people and be able to communicate effectively. Interpersonal skills help the neuro tech convey instructions and allay anxiety. He must be able to employ active listening and problem solving to encourage cooperation.
The tech must also be comfortable working with other members of the healthcare team. He must interact with physicians and surgeons who want the test results. He must be able to explain the testing results and answer any questions the physician may have. Accurate results are the cornerstone of the testing process.
Other desirable traits include exceptional fine motor skills, adequate hearing and vision, and critical thinking abilities. He will need to understand and utilize personal protective equipment and universal protective and safety precautions.
An associate degree in electroneurodiagnostic technology is the entry-level educational requirement. This degree can be obtained at a community college. There are a number of colleges across North American that offers this program.
Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, N.C. offers an eletroneurodiagnostic technology degree. Prospective students should have a strong background in sciences such as biology. It takes the average student approximately 24 months to complete all the coursework needed to graduate. Classes such as anatomy and physiology, medical law and ethics, and general psychology will complement clinical training.
The British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, Canada offers a Diploma of Technology in Eletroneurophysiology. The program prepares the student to enter the world of neurodiagnostic technology with the skill and confidence to do the job. The program takes about 24 months to complete. Students will learn how to perform the tests and the correlating anatomy and pathology.
Neuro techs can expect to work in a hospital, outpatient clinic, research facility, or sleep study labs. The workspaces are clean but often small. The machinery takes up a large portion of the space leaving a relatively small space for the patient and tech. Work areas cool due to the heat put off by the machinery.
The neuro tech can expect to wear scrubs and a lab coat or jacket. When leaving the area most companies require a lab coat to cover the uniform. Hair will need to be short or pulled back at all times. Body piercings are usually not allowed due to safety reasons. A professional appearance is essential to gaining the trust of patients.

For a few days, you might have heard a hip-hop station called Streetz 102.9, which disappeared on April 8 as mysteriously as it arrived. (The Web site is gone, too.)
Here's a possible reason why: litigation and accusations of employee misconduct, breach of contract and stealing of proprietary computer data.
Radio One, which owns Hot 107.9, sued the purported operators of Streetz, first on March 20, but amended last week on April 16 to include more details. Kevin Ross over at radiofacts.com broke the news of the lawsuit, which is also on his site.
The defendants include two former Radio One execs Steve Hegwood and Wayne Brown. (Except for his quick comment to me April 8 denying his involvement with Streetz, neither he nor Brown have returned calls to me or anybody else I know of in the press. I've also left messages with the respective attorneys on both sides.)
The lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court alleges that Hegwood, while employed with Radio One as operations manager of the Atlanta market, stole the music library, including special mixes created by Radio One of particular songs (two in particular: "Pop Champagne" by Ron Brown and "Stoopid" by Gucci Mane.) He also allegedly signed on as a Radio One employee a month after he left and accessed Hot 107.9's confidential radio research and database.
"Hegwood is believed to be the principal and driving force behind Streetz 102.9," the lawsuit said. "Hegwood has actively concealed his participation in Streetz 102.9."
Hegwood resigned from Radio One on Feb. 17, saying he would focus on his Albany radio station and a consulting firm. After he left Radio One, the company in the lawsuit said it learned that Hegwood's Extreme Media Group acquired two FM translators. One, W250BC, was picked up from Clark Atlanta on September 2007 for $100,000. More recently, the signal was licensed to Cumulus Broadcasting to start 99X at 97.9 in exchange for a Georgia radio station outside of metro Atlanta.
The lawsuit said Radio One discovered that Extreme Media received the 102.9 translator in December 2008 while Hegwood was still employed with Radio One. But the name on the documentation was Hegwood's nephew Keenan Heard. Heard's address matched that of Hegwood. Heard, the lawsuit said, was there to "obfuscate [Hegwood's] participation."
Extreme Media acquired the rights to W275BK at 102.9 for $235,000, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said his boss Brown was aware of his activities but did nothing to stop them and alleged that he was involved in the whole situation.
Here's Kevin Ross of Radiofacts.com's take:
Many in the industry are left scratching their heads and wondering why [Hegwood] would leave the Atlanta station and start his own company IN HIS OWN NAME and use Radio One property to get the station off the ground remains to be seen. At this point, few if any people have heard from Steve or have been able to reach him for any quotes. Alfred [Liggins of Radio One] is not giving up and this is not a pretty situation.

I pretty much agree that the black urban music market does not need another radio station in atlanta. There's already 3 (Beat 95.5, V-103 and Hot 107.9)but only one 1 lite music station (B98.9). Whats up with that.

I agree with you Ghost on the Wall. Atlanta: The City Full of Complainers, I never seen a place with so many complainers. How can you complain about an urban radio station if you're not listening to it? LoL

What the ATL needs is a smooth jazz replacement. 107.5 was a great smooth jazz. What station do we have for smooth jazz…91.9 is definitely not the one.

Never heard the station while it was on the air, but if it was the same format as 107.9 and others, then it will not be missed. A hip hop format that would play underground with a blend of classic old-school hip hop or international artists would be more inovative.
WLCK 91.9 is a "real" jazz based diversified station that does not focus on that weak so-called "smooth" jazz
April 28th, 2009

91.9…REAL JAZZ…PLEASE!!! Myles Davis, John Coltrane—Old school great, but not easy to understand. Give me Dave Koz, Norman Brown, Fourplay, etc. any day over those guys
April 29th, 2009
7:10 pm
I definitely agree with Kim. We need more real jazz stations. It's a shame that 91.9 is the only jazz station in Atlanta, but nonetheless an excellent station. FYI; G-Man, you need to be educated in real true jazz. And it's Miles Davis…

There are way too many colon clensers on the market. What is the best and most natural colon cleanser out there? Has anyone had any previous experience with one? How much weight did you lose?
You are right! The market is flooded with them but unfortunately most of them are terrible. In fact, you will be lucky to find a natural cleanser. I personally used Purity 12 and lost almost 9 pounds of weight. I was surprised because I tried quite a few cleansers previously and none of them worked. I actually recommended it to one of my work mates who was struggling to lose a few pounds and it worked a treat for him as well. I think they have a free trial offer at the moment here http://rds.yahoo.com/**http%3a//tinyurl.com/qfwfw5 so you can actually try it out for free for 30 days and see how much weight you lose.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/222272These are three great questions so let's take them one at a time.
First, there are many important steps you'll take when investigating any franchise but the three most important are: 1) contacting the company directly to receive its franchise information including the federal mandated disclosure document (the FDD), 2) carefully reviewing all of the information you receive to make sure it sounds like a business you are interested in, and 3) calling a number of the existing franchisees to learn much more about the franchise business from their perspective.
Second, the size of the franchise system isn't nearly as important as other factors, unless it is a new brand. You should focus on a franchise that has at least some track record of success with other new franchisees if you want to minimize your risk.
Third, the fit is critical. This is the most common mistake that people make -- they fall in love with the product or service of a franchise and purchase it only to figure out later that the business is not a good fit for their skills or temperament.
Each of these topics is covered in much greater detail in articles that I've written for Entrepreneur and that are archived in the Franchise section of their website so you can get much more extensive answers there. Good luck in your search.

Tort Reform
Summary of Achievement
Frivolous lawsuits are not only one the top job killers in America, but were also hurting the quality and availability of healthcare across the state. Under Governor Perry's leadership, Texas enacted several key legal reforms that are protecting the state's economy and improving the availability of medical care.
These reforms freed doctors from excessive medical liability insurance premiums that had been driven many doctors out of Texas and some out of medicine altogether, depriving Texans of needed medical care. They also stemmed a tide of frivolous and excessive litigation by ending class action abuse, protecting innocent parties from expensive product liability suits, reining in excessive punitive damages claims and cracking down on phony asbestos suits. Ultimately, the reforms imposed reasonable limitations on lawsuits while still allowing Texans with valid claims their day in court.
Abuse of the state's legal system, including frivolous lawsuits and excessive settlement demands, had transformed Texas courthouses from places where neighbors could peacefully resolve disputes into forums for a seemingly endless flow of questionable claims. They also significantly decreased the number of physicians practicing in the state due to skyrocketing malpractice insurance premiums.
Over several decades, Texas had developed a well-deserved but unfortunate reputation for big jury verdicts in frivolous lawsuits against the businesses that provided jobs and created prosperity for Texans. As a result, businesses were leaving Texas while those that stayed were reluctant to expand or invest in their operations. These constraints cost Texas jobs and diminished our economy's ability to grow and benefit Texas citizens.
Economists estimated that as a result of frivolous lawsuits the average family was paying $2,600 per year in higher prices embedded into the costs of the goods and services. This "tort tax" siphoned money out of the economy that was needed to create jobs and fuel economic growth. Eliminating part of that tort tax would essentially be like giving every Texan a pay raise.
In 2003, Gov. Perry led the effort to pass sweeping lawsuit reforms so that innocent employers could put their money into job growth rather than damage awards. In 2005, Gov. Perry signed a law cracking down on junk asbestos claims that were forcing innocent employers into bankruptcy and putting thousands of people out of work. He also signed a law to prevent trial lawyers from suing restaurants on the charge of obesity-related health problems, and another to stop venue-shopping which had allowed lawyers to sue dredging companies in hostile forums hundreds of miles away from the site of their operations. A leading economist projected that 240,000 new jobs would eventually be created as a result of these reforms.
Key provisions of the 2003 reforms include:
- Defendants can appeal class certification directly to the Texas Supreme Court to decide up front, not after years of costly litigation, if the plaintiff has a class action.
- Law ensures that lawyers are paid in coupons if clients in a class-action suit get paid in coupons.
- A new standard to ensure sued parties pay only their proportionate responsibility.
- Reformed product liability laws so retailers are not liable for a manufacturer's mistake.
- Enacted liability limits for good Samaritans, volunteer firefighters, charity volunteers and teachers.
- Closed loopholes that allowed trial lawyers to venue shop.
The Outcome
As a direct result of Texas' tort reform efforts, filings of frivolous lawsuits have been vastly reduced, allowing employers to put their money into economic growth and creating jobs rather than litigation.
Tort reform has improved access to medical care in Texas, particularly in underserved areas, and has removed a large threat to job creation and economic growth that had been created by excessive litigation.
The Texas reforms, combined with Governor Perry's emphasis on economic development, have helped foster an environment of job growth, economic opportunity and prosperity for the people of Texas. In fact, last year Texas created more jobs than any other state in the nation, and is consistently ranked the best place in the country to do business.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDRB) -- The movement to legalize industrial hemp in Kentucky is hitting a major roadblock. One of the most powerful men in the legislature today blasted the idea.
The message from House Speaker Greg Stumbo is essentially this -- show me the money. Stumbo says he wants to see the evidence. He's unconvinced by claims that industrial hemp could become a major cash crop for Kentucky's farmers.
"You wouldn't want to turn them away from profitable crops and ask them to grow something that there's no market for," said Stumbo. "And quite frankly, the evidence that we've seen indicates that there's not much of a market for industrial hemp."
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer is a driving force behind the hemp movement and refuted Stumbo's claim. "I don't know who's giving them their economic information, or their agriculture information. It may be Manti Te'o's girlfriend, I don't know. But it is not accurate," said Comer.
Comer insists there are companies waiting to invest millions in the hemp business in Kentucky. "Here's an industry that we can be on the forefront on, Kentucky can be a leader in. We don't want any economic development incentives. All we're asking is that government get out of the way," he said.
But Stumbo says there's no need to rush. Hemp is still illegal by federal law, and he dismisses the effort by Republican Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell to lift that ban.
"I don't think Rand Paul's passed a bill since he's been up there. And McConnell's notorious for killing bills, but he hasn't passed a whole lot either," said Stumbo.
Supporters of industrial hemp did score a major victory on Thursday when the State Senate overwhelmingly passed the hemp bill. And Comer calls Stumbo's claim that he's protecting farmers "insulting."
"If they can't make a profit growing it, they're not going to grow it. And they don't need a big government agency to hold their hand and make a decision for them," said Comer.
"Kentucky farmers have a right to know what they're buying into," said Stumbo.
Stumbo has assigned the hemp bill to the House Agriculture Committee for a possible hearing. The question is; will it die there?

Examination and Study Kit Fee Discount Program
The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) Board of Directors and the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Board of Governors are pleased to offer a measure designed to provide financial relief to eligible candidates of qualified countries. The Examination and Study Kit Fee Discount Program began in January 2001.
There are two versions of the program:
- Joint CAS/SOA Fee Discount Program for Exam 1/P, 2/FM, 3F/MFE and 4/C
Although the SOA will process all applications for joint CAS/SOA Preliminary Actuarial Exams 1/P, 2/FM, 3F/MFE and 4/C, the CAS will finance the program for any eligible property/casualty candidates writing these examinations. The SOA maintains a similar program for its examinations that are not offered jointly with the CAS. Candidates who are not specializing in the property/casualty or general insurance practice may direct any inquiries about fee discounts on the SOA upper-level examinations to email@example.com at the SOA.
Details and Application for the Joint CAS/SOA program for Exams 1/P, 2/FM, 3F/MFE and 4/C.
- CAS Fee Discount Program for Exams 3L and 5-9
The eligibility requirements are the same for both discount programs, but the CAS version includes additional countries in its eligibility list and has a tiered discount structure.

The successor to Intel's current Atom processor will be part of a collaboration based on Intel's silicon and the Linux Moblin v2.0 software platform.
Intel says smart phones powerful enough to play a 1080p HD movie while you're video conferencing -- and power-smart enough to last 10 days on standby -- are on the way
Qualcomm has a chip called Snapdragon. Intel has Atom and Moorestown.
At CTIA, AT&T announces it will sell a tablet that will run, like the iPad, on its 3G network, but will be powered by Intel's upcoming Moorestown Atom processor.
The LG smartphone based on Intel's upcoming "Moorestown" chip does multitasking, a feature Apple's forthcoming iPad tablet lacks. A leg up for the Intel camp?
You'll need megapockets to hold the new LG GW990 -- a beast of a phone with a huge screen and the first outing for Intel's new, more powerful Moorestown CPU
The chipmaker is adding HSPA support to its upcoming "Moorestown" smartphone platform. Plus: More details on Nehalem.
Moorestown, due in 2009 or 2010 will be--for Intel--a highly integrated chip, bringing it more in line with silicon designs in the smartphone market.
From the UrbanMax concept PC design to the Moorestown and Nehalem processors, there was a lot to take in at this year's IDF.
The Moorestown motherboard will likely be the main launching pad for Intel into the mobile phone market--what the chipmaker calls "MID phones."

FAO Food Price Index
The FAO Food Price Index is a measure of the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities. It consists of the average of five commodity group price indices, weighted with the average export shares of each of the groups for 2002-2004.
Monthly release dates for 2014: 09 January, 06 February, 06 March, 03 April, 08 May, 05 June, 03 July, 07 August, 11 September, 09 October, 06 November, 04 December.
Please note that the November 2013 release of the FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) introduced a number of revisions to the way the FFPI is calculated, including changes to its commodity coverage. The changes introduced did not significantly alter the values of the series. The revised FFPI has also been extended back to 1961.
For more detailed information (in all languages) please see the special feature article of the November 2013 issue of the Food Outlook. An expanded version of the article, which contains more technical background is available in English only.
The FAO Food Price Index fall to its lowest level since September 2010
Release date: 11/09/2014
» The FAO Food Price Index averaged 196.6 points in August 2014, its lowest level since September 2010. In August, the index registered its fifth consecutive monthly decline, down 7.3 points (3.6 percent) from July and 7.9 points (3.9 percent) from August 2013. Except for meat, all the other food sub-indices dipped markedly in August, with dairy values falling most, followed by oils and sugar.
» The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 182.5 points in August, down 2.8 points (1.5 percent) from July and 24.2 points (11.7 percent) from August 2013. The Index has been falling continuously since May, largely on excellent crop prospects and abundant supplies of wheat and coarse grains. Another record world production this year weighs on international wheat prices which slid in August to their lowest value since July 2010. Similarly, maize prices have fallen to a 4-year low, amid almost ideal growing conditions while stocks are already at very high level. However, rice prices remained on the rise reflecting the return of several traditional importers to the market and the failure by Thailand to offload large volumes from public stocks starting in August, as originally announced.
» The FAO Vegetable Oil Price Index averaged 166.6 points in August, 14.5 points (8 percent) less than the previous month and the lowest level since November 2009. It would also be the fifth month of consecutive drops in the index. Much of the August decline reflects the pattern of palm oil prices, which have weakened under the combined effect of improved production prospects in South East Asia and lower than anticipated import demand, primarily from China and India. The other major oils (soy, rape and sunflower) also remained on a downward trend, reflecting prospective ample supplies in 2014/15.
» The FAO Dairy Price Index averaged 200.8 points in August, down 25.3 points (11.2 percent) over July and 46.8 points (18.9 percent) less year-on-year. Quotations for all dairy products covered in the Index fell. The decline reflected both abundant export availability and reduced import demand. Export supplies have increased in the EU and conditions are favourable for a strong start to the new season in Oceania. The prevailing tendency for prices to decline was further exacerbated by the Russian Federation prohibition, at the beginning of the month, on imports of dairy products from several countries. More generally, slackening importation of whole milk powder by China (the largest importer) has also contributed to market uncertainty concerning demand over the coming months.
» The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 207.3 points in August, 2.5 points (1.2 percent) more than its revised value for July and 25 points (14 percent) above last year. The increase principally reflected a strong rise of bovine meat prices in Australia, where herd rebuilding has reduced export supplies, and continued strong import demand in Asia, particularly China. Average quotations for poultry were little changed, while those for porcine and ovine meat fell back somewhat.
» The FAO Sugar Price Index averaged 244.3 points in August, down by 14.8 points (5.7 percent) from July, but still 2.2 points (1 percent) higher than in August 2013. The significant drop in prices was triggered by improved production prospects in India, the world's second largest sugar producer, as well as the European Union and the Russian Federation. In addition, reports of lower than expected import demand by China weighed negatively on international prices. The downgrading of production in Brazil, the world largest sugar producer, was not sufficient to offset the downward price pressure.

text: An out of court settlement has been reached between and Epson and Environmental Business Products regarding the sale of Epson-compatible cartridges. Epson brought High Court proceedings against Environmental Business Products for: infringement of a number of patents and registered designs belonging to Epson in respect of Environmental Business Products Ltd's acts of importation and supplying. Environmental Business Products, who are one of the largest importer and distributor of printer cartridges compatible with Epson products in the UK, will now have to pay Epsons legal costs and damages. Pat Stead from Environmental Business Products Limited said: We have ceased importing and supplying Epson-compatible cartridges because we are not confident of finding Epson compatibles that do not infringe one of more of Seiko Epsons patents and registered designs. Mr Seiichi Hirano of Epson said: We will continue the enforcement of our intellectual property to protect our innovative products against importers supplying infringing products.
