I had a little apparel blowout myself the other day. A bit too much Panang Curry at the lunch buffet if you know what I mean. Oh, that's not what we're talking about? We're talking about a blowout sale? My bad! But this is good news for me. I need to... um... buy some new shorts.
Ordered three of these shirts for my son. They arrived today, 4/9/14. These are very nice. I think will be keeping them for myself.
Anyone else order the "Fila Women's Performance Plaited Fleece Full Zip Hoody - Orange/Pink" ???
Did you receive it yet? Mine must be lost...

Barbara Loe Fisher is the co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, the oldest and largest consumer led organization advocating for the institution of vaccine safety and informed consent protections in the public health system.
We're in the back-to-school mode and with that comes demands by health professionals to have our children vaccinated. Seems obvious, right? After all, we want to protect the health of our children, but when you consider how the vaccination policy has evolved over the past few decades, perhaps there's reason for concern.
For example, 31 years ago the recommended vaccination schedule included 23 doses of 7 vaccines between 2 months to 7 years of age. These included DPT, MMR and Polio. Today that list includes 69 doses of 16 vaccines between the day of birth and age 18 with 49 doses of vaccines given before age 6.
The numbers for autoimmune and neurological disorders in children are staggering which wasn't the case 30 years ago. Is there a correlation? Barbara believes there is. She feels that the one-size-fits-all approach to vaccine policy and law making assumes that everyone is genetically, biologically and environmentally the same. The fact is, we're not the same. Each of us responds differently to pharmaceutical products therefore what we're seeing is a growing subset of people within the population who are not able to handle this new, aggressive vaccine schedule.
When it comes to vaccines, does government recommended mean government mandated? What are the medical, religious and philosophical exemption options you have in your state? Do you know how to properly report a vaccine reaction? What should you know about the CDC's vaccine promotion? These and other related concerns are dealt with on this vital edition of Crosstalk.

French Socialist Hollande Plans to Seek Gender Parity in Cabinet
Francois Hollande, the Socialist Party frontrunner in France's presidential race, said he would seek to form a government with an equal number of women and men.
Hollande, 57, said he would also work to impose parity for top administrative positions, including in the country's Constitutional Court. He spoke in an interview today with France 2 television. Women make up 29 percent of President Nicolas Sarkozy's current government.
Hollande reiterated a promise to renegotiate the European Union's fiscal treaty, calling for a focus on growth in the Union, "and not just austerity" measures.
France will hold two rounds of presidential elections, in April and in May.

Gas Prices Are On The Rise
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on July 05, 2013 @ 7:14PM
Created on July 05, 2013 @ 5:30PM
One subject most drivers hate to talk about is gas prices. Of course since it's a holiday weekend that many people travel for, those prices have gone up. But that sudden rise may not just be because of the holiday weekend.
"It was $3.20 something here just about 3 or 4 days ago and now it's up to $3.40 something," said Paulette Ferrell, Harrison County Resident.
I was afraid that all our money was going to be spent on gas driving here. We were so shocked that the gas was so less expensive compared to what we're used to," said Barb Bonshire.

AES E-Library
A Technique for Nonlinear System Measurement
A method for measuring nonlinear systems having a Volterra series is presented. The Volterra series is the parallel combination of elements having series input and output filters around a power-law distortion, and may be used to represent a wide variety of systems combining filtering and memoryless distortion functions. The technique is to measure the system using a swept sinusoid at a variety of amplitudes, and to use least squares to first separate the element responses and then identify the unknown input and output filters.

I have been battling with Google and the limited documentation of PDFMiner for the last several hours, and although I feel close, I'm just not getting what I need. I've worked through http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/ and all three of the YouTube videos to gain a better understanding about PDFs and I'm able to output raw text just fine.
I am working on a script to parse multiple PDF pages. Unfortunately, for this project I am dealing with poor quality PDF files, and the only reliable constant I see is the physical location of text strings being exactly the same. Although I've read hints that text strings can be extracted by physical coords, I have yet to see a working example.
Is there anyone out there who could shed some light on how this is done with PDFMiner? I am open to other modules if there is an obvious better choice, however I need to stick with Python for the script.
Additionally, I have tried PyPdf to no success as well (other than basic text output).

History lesson: What Ronald Reagan saidBreaking News
Mitt Romney: "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
..[B]ecause Republicans have frequently likened President Obama to Jimmy Carter, we were curious to learn how candidate Ronald Reagan responded to the worst foreign policy disaster on Carter's watch — the failed mission to rescue U.S. diplomats in Iran, resulting in the deaths of eight servicemen.
In April 1980, Reagan was still battling George H.W. Bush for the GOP nomination, while Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was challenging Carter for the Democratic nomination. This is excerpted from The Washington Post reporting on the political fallout:
Carter's presidential rivals were charitable. Republican George Bush supported the president's actions without reservation. Ronald Reagan and Edward Kennedy offered sympathy to the families of the dead troopers and called for national "unity."...

Protecting electronics from moisture
In the upcomming season in Belgium, I would like to start flying of water with my SIG 1/6 cub on Hobbyking 83cm floats and want to know how you guys protect your electronic equipment ( ESC, Rx, battery, motor,...) from getting wet?
Welcome, This is a comon problem, Planes can be sealed, and components can be held in the center of the fuse, to limit splashing, but eventually, things get wet. Fresh water is very workable, but salt is very tricky.
Most people seem to find Corrosion X works quite well on ESC's and RX's, I have used various epoxies and silicones too, which can work if properly applied. Batteries can take some dunking, as long as the water is clean. Opinions are mixed on servos, I have used corrosion X, which seems to work fine, though some have reported problems.
You can use the search function to look for other threads on the topic.
I've heard people have had problems with plasti-dip on ESC's it holds heat and it can develop leaks after a season of thermal cycling. If you use silicone it has to be electronics safe many hardware store silicones releases corrosive vapors as they cure. CorrosionX is the best for protecting Rx's and ESC's I've heard mixed results with servos and motors. As for the motor I use alcohol in a squirt bottle to displace water if it takes a dip along with a very light bearing lubing from time to time. I wouldn't recommend WD-40 it is a degreaser and dielectric insulator not to mention it leaves a sticky residue after it drys. I use a very, very light coating of Vaseline on the exposed surfaces of my servos just enough to make water bead. If your servos take a dunk you may want to disassemble them so water doesn't sit in them they generally come back after they dry. I use a CPU muffin fan after flights to thoroughly dry out my electronics bay. If you find your fuse is taking on water you may need little spray skirts on your floats to redirect splashes.
CorrosionX underwater ESC demo
List of International CX distributors
As for floats in general here are some things to keep in mind. If your floats don't protrude past your prop far enough your plane will want to nose over as it accelerates my float plane needs 2 inches but this will vary with float displacement. This has to be balanced with the fact that your float step should lineup with your wing CoG. If you find that your plane won't get off the surface your float position and angle might be wrong. Your plane needs to maintain proper wing incidence angle at speed to generate proper lift.
P.S. Salt water is really hard on your equipment I'd stay away from it.
Here is a thread with some float placement tips

You got it, I use a wide mouth jar with CX in it just keep the lid on it and it will last a long time. I completly submerge my esc's for a few days lightly aggitating the jar every now and then. Lrt the esc drip then pat it down and you are good to go. I do not recomend using CX in the spray can, the only time I have burned up an ESC was when I just sprayed it. After treatment I have found that I need to mount the ESC with wire ties as nothing will stick to the wrap on the ESC. Also you want the CX in the red container.
That's the way it has worked for me. I bought the pump spray version because it is easier to decant into a container that you can soak your components in. I use a type of food canning jar known as a Mason jar. With the lid on it allows me to agitate the parts without spilling. Most ESC's are wrapped in shrink tubing you want to make sure any air bubbles are shook loose from under the shrink so all the components are fully coated. Some people remove the shrink wrap and replace it after the treatment but I just use a little light agitation and time some people let their parts soak overnight or longer I do it for about an hour myself. If your Rx is in a hard case you might want to disassemble it if possible so you can just soak the circuit board it will be less messy. Also I'd remove the crystal so it won't fill with CX. After the treatment I hang the parts over the jar overnight to drip dry and then I blot up any residue. Many people will retreat their components at the beginning of each season just to be sure of their protection. Also I've had good luck using contact cement to attach Velcro to CX treated surfaces. I first wipe the surface with some rubbing alcohol then I apply the contact cement to both surfaces and let it dry I get pretty good adhesion.
I have had my plane completely submerged and it still worked just be aware you don't want to motor your plane if the propeller is submerged or the plane is full of water the increased drag can burn out you motor or ESC in short order.
Also you want to give a thought to errant aircraft retrieval if you are flying off a small pond a tennis ball hooked to a good sized fishing pole works pretty good but if the body of water is larger a small boat may be necessary. Sometimes the wind is your friend it helps to be aware of where your plane will go if it is at the mercy of the wind it may not be where you want to go.

Coupling reactions are typically performed at room temperature overnight by
using N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and Tris-HCl or PBS Buffer (pH 7.0–7.5) as
solvent. It may be advisable to carry out the reduction of disulfide bonds by
adding a 10-fold molar excess of a reducing agent such as DTT or TCEP. If DTT is
used, then dialysis is required to remove the excess of DTT prior to the
addition of the reactive malemide.
Example Reaction: Coupling of BG-Maleimide to a 5´
thiol modified Oligonucleotide:
Figure 1. Reaction of
BG-Maleimide with thiol groups. The 5´-thiol modified oligonucleotide (43 nmol)
was reduced by incubation for 1 hour at room temperature with 10 mM DTT in 200
µl 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5. The DTT was removed by gel filtration and the
oligonucleotide eluted in PBS buffer (pH 7.4). The most concentrated fractions
were combined giving a total of 800 µl. Three hundred microliters of
BG-maleimide solution (2.5 mM in DMF) was added and the reaction mixture
incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with
water to a total volume of 2 ml and excess maleimide removed by gel filtration.
The BG-maleimide-oligonucleotide conjugate was then purified by HPLC (solvent A:

Quarterly Report
We consider portions of this report to be "forward-looking" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to our expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements do not discuss historical fact, but instead include statements related to expectations, projections, intentions, or other items relating to the future; forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performances, results, or events. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance our expectations will be achieved. Any statements contained herein which are not statements of historical fact should be deemed forward-looking statements. Reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements as they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors beyond our control and could differ materially from our actual results and performance.
Factors which may cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
• volatility in capital and credit markets, or other unfavorable changes in economic conditions could adversely impact us;
• short-term leases expose us to the effects of declining market rents;
• we face risks associated with land holdings and related activities;
• difficulties of selling real estate could limit our flexibility;
• we could be negatively impacted by the condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;
• compliance or failure to comply with laws, including those requiring access to our properties by disabled persons, could result in substantial cost;
• competition could limit our ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rental income;
• development and construction risks could impact our profitability;
• our acquisition strategy may not produce the cash flows expected;
• competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire properties;
• losses from catastrophes may exceed our insurance coverage;
• investments through joint ventures involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole investor;
• we face risks associated with investments in and management of discretionary funds;
• tax matters, including failure to qualify as a REIT, could have adverse consequences;
• we depend on our key personnel;
• changes in litigation risks could affect our business;
• insufficient cash flows could limit our ability to make required payments for debt obligations or pay distributions to shareholders;
• we have significant debt, which could have important adverse consequences;
• we may be unable to renew, repay, or refinance our outstanding debt;
• variable rate debt is subject to interest rate risk;
• we may incur losses on interest rate hedging arrangements;
• issuances of additional debt may adversely impact our financial condition;
• failure to maintain our current credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of funds, related margins, liquidity, and access to capital markets;
• share ownership limits and our ability to issue additional equity securities may prevent takeovers beneficial to shareholders;
• our share price will fluctuate; and
• the form, timing and/or amount of dividend distributions in future periods may vary and be impacted by economic or other considerations.
These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements because of subsequent events.
Executive Summary
We are primarily engaged in the ownership, management, development, acquisition, and construction of multifamily apartment communities. As of September 30, 2012, we owned interests in, operated, or were developing 209 multifamily properties comprising 70,871 apartment homes across the United States as detailed in the following Property Portfolio table. In addition, we own other land parcels we may develop into multifamily apartment communities. Property Operations
Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflect an increase in rental revenue as compared to the same period in 2011, which we believe was primarily due to a gradually improving economy, favorable demographics, a modest supply of new multifamily housing, and a decrease in home ownership rates, which have resulted in increases in realized rental rates and average occupancy levels. Same store revenues increased 6.5% for the first nine months of 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. We believe U.S. economic and employment growth will continue during 2012 and the supply of new multifamily homes will continue to be below historical levels. However, we believe significant risks to the economy remain prevalent, and while there have been increases in employment levels in the majority of our markets, the unemployment rate remains at higher than historical levels. If economic conditions in the United States were to worsen, our operating results could be adversely affected. Development Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed construction of six development projects containing 1,495 units, including one community containing 244 units in one of our discretionary funds in which we have a 20% ownership interest. As of September 30, 2012, three of these projects had achieved stabilization. At September 30, 2012, we had a total of six development projects under construction containing 2,040 units, including one development project containing 276 units in one of our discretionary funds, with initial occupancy occurring between 2012 and 2014. Excluding the development project in one of our discretionary funds, we have remaining expected costs to complete of approximately $178.0 million on the five consolidated projects as of September 30, 2012.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we acquired sixteen operating properties in five transactions totaling approximately $583.1 million, including assumed debt of approximately $272.6 million. Twelve of these operating properties were former unconsolidated joint ventures in which we acquired the remaining 80% ownership interests. On September 30, 2012, we also acquired the remaining 75% noncontrolling ownership interest in a fully-consolidated joint venture for approximately $10.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we acquired approximately 16.7 acres of land in two transactions for approximately $16.7 million. We intend to utilize these land holdings for development of multifamily apartment communities. We funded these acquisitions through cash generated from operations, proceeds from our at-the-market share offering programs ("ATM programs"), proceeds from an equity offering completed in January 2012, and proceeds from property dispositions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, one of our funds acquired one operating property and two land holdings totaling 18.7 acres which it intends to utilize for development of multifamily apartment communities. In November 2012, we acquired approximately 2.4 acres of land located in Plantation, Florida for approximately $9.0 million. Dispositions
During the first quarter of 2012, we sold three operating properties consisting of 1,033 units for approximately $55.6 million and recognized a gain of approximately $32.5 million on these sales. In August 2012, one of our funds sold one operating property consisting of 253 units located in Austin, Texas for approximately $54.4 million. Our proportionate share of the gain was approximately $2.9 million.
During October 2012, we sold two operating properties consisting of 473 units for approximately $26.6 million. In October 2012, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures also sold an operating property consisting of 596 units located in Kansas City, Missouri for approximately $40.7 million. Future Outlook
Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to look for opportunities to expand our development pipeline, and acquire existing communities. We continually evaluate our operating property and land development portfolio and plan to continue our practice of selective dispositions as market conditions warrant and opportunities develop. We also intend to continue to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by continuing to focus on our core fundamentals which we believe are generating positive cash
flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios,
and controlling overhead costs. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements
through cash flows generated from operations, draws on our unsecured credit
facility, proceeds from property dispositions and secured mortgages, equity
issued from our ATM programs, and the use of debt and equity offerings under our
automatic shelf registration statement.
As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $5.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $455.1 million available under our $500 million unsecured line of credit. As of the date of this filing, we had common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $123.6 million remaining available for sale under the 2012 ATM program. We believe our remaining payments on debt maturing in 2012 are manageable at approximately $190.3 million, which represents approximately 8% of our total outstanding debt and includes scheduled principal amortizations of approximately $0.6 million. On October 1, 2012, we repaid a $31.5 million secured third-party note payable which was scheduled to mature in August 2013. This secured debt related to a fully-consolidated joint venture in which we acquired the remaining noncontrolling ownership interest in September 2012. We believe we are well-positioned with a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity to cover near-term debt maturities and new development funding requirements. We will, however, continue to assess and take further actions we believe are prudent to meet our objectives and capital requirements.

Background, aim, and scope
Today, the effective integration of life cycle thinking into existing business routines is argued to be the most critical step for more sustainable business models. The study tests the suitability of an input–output life cycle assessment (IO-LCA) approach in screening life cycle impacts of energy-using products in companies. It estimates the life cycle impacts of three products and assesses the suitability of such approach in a company environment.
Materials and methods
The multiple case studies evaluate the suitability of an IO-LCA method in a company environment. A comprehensive life cycle cost and impact study of three product systems (building ventilation system, information and communication technology (ICT) network product, and welding machine) is conducted and the life cycle phases with highest economical and environmental contribution are determined. Scenario analysis is performed in order to assess the sensitivity of the results to major changes in the studied systems. Finally, the usability of the IO-LCA approach for environmental evaluations in companies is assessed by collecting data on workload and interviewing the participating workers and managers.
The results showed that the use phase with operating energy was environmentally important in all evaluated energy-using products. However, only in one case (ICT network product) the use was the single most significant life cycle phase. In two other cases, the sourcing was equally important. The results also indicated that the IO-LCA approach is much easier to adapt by current management of companies because it automatically links life cycle costs to environmental indicators and, by order of magnitude, reduces the workload in companies.
It appears that the IO-LCA approach can be used to screen environmentally significant life cycle phases of energy-using products in companies by utilizing readily available accounting or other documented data. The IO-LCA approach produced comparable results with the ones published in traditional process-based LCA literature. In addition to the main results, some practical benefits of using the IO-LCA could also be suggested: the approach was very fast to use and would thus allow an easier adoption of environmental evaluations in companies as well as wider environmental testing of products in early conceptual design phase.
The results indicated that the IO-LCA approach could clearly offer added value to the environmental management of companies. The IO-LCA was found to provide a very fast access to the key life cycle characteristics of products. Similarly, it offered practical means to integrate life cycle thinking into existing business routines and to activate the decision makers in companies by giving them easily comprehendible results.
Recommendations and perspectives
The results would suggest that similar environmental IO tables, besides the US ones used here, would have value and should be collected for other major geographical and economical regions. The tables would enable a much larger share of companies to manage their environmental issues. It also seems that, because the user profile is so dominant in the case of energy-using products, more studies, both theoretical (How to valuate the future behavior in environmental studies?) and empirical (What really creates value for users?), should focus on the behavior of users.

Never miss another 'Morning Glory' show
Morning Glory
M-Glory is a group of New York City musicians who came together in the interest of making music fun for themselves again. With roots deep in the politi-kil punk scene of the Lower East Side and Brooklyn, MG's lyrical content never strays far from the things they see as axiom, tho it tends to be more personal than other bands and projects they've been in over the years.
The music is heavy and melodic and meant to be played out doors under the sun. Big anthemic choruses and sped up verses bring it somewhere in between early Oasis and The Clash, yet they defy and abhor labels, preferring just to write what they hear in their collective head.
Morning Glory tour dates
Anti Vigilante
Anti Vigilante are a four piece skacore mash up from Milton Keynes. Since forming in 2004, they have built a rock-solid reputation based on ferocity - both on stage and on recording - and good old-fashioned hard work.
Anti Vigilante tour dates
In Evil Hour
In Evil Hour have been playing together in various guises since 2003. Featuring gravelly vocals, energetic live shows and hard-hitting punk rock melodies, they are a volatile hardcore-inspired collision between punk rock and politics driven by a disdain for the apathy and ignorance that pervades modern culture.

A story of Apple getting caught up in a legal battle may certainly not be very newsworthy, except that the tables have turned this way against Apple.
Apple has been ordered to shell out a huge fine for copyright infringement by a court in Beijing, to the tune of 1 million yuan which comes to about $165,000.
According to the report by the Xinhua news agency, Apple is paying the penalty for having hosted a third-party app on its iTunes store which was apparently selling a number of pirated copies of popular Chinese books.
Eight Chinese writers and two companies will be getting compensation for theft of their intellectual property, as per the directions of Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court.
Pirated books sold through iTunes store
A team of authors had launched a lawsuit against Apple earlier this year alleging copyright infringement of their books, and demanded damages up to 10 million yuan.
The authors are apparently still not too happy with the ruling, because they feel that Apple should have been fined a much bigger amount.
"We are disappointed at the judgment. Some of our best-selling authors only got 7,000 yuan. The judgment is a signal of encouraging piracy," Bei Zhicheng, a representative for the group, reportedly said to Reuters.
Meanwhile, Apple has simply said in a statement that it takes copyright infringement very seriously, and is always updating its services to make sure that the rights of content owners are honored.
Piracy deeply rooted in China
The ruling highlights the growing menace of piracy in China. Every year, software companies lose millions of dollars in counterfeit sales.
It goes without saying that copyright infringement is quite rampant in China, although the Chinese government has stepped up its efforts to curb the menace.

In September 2011 a set of 50 (fifty) new students were admitted to train in different skills till August 2013. All have shown strong passion for learning. What one can practically see coupled with reports from their teachers,Monitoring and Evaluation Officer show that some can produce standard materials that can compete favorably in the market. We expect that in the next six months most of them would be perfect while others meet market standard production.Pictures from some sections are included.
We remain grateful for the encouragement given to us through donations.We would continue this transformation and integration of people with disabilities into the main stream of the society. We have embarked on discussions with other Organizations and Companies that can attract jobs after training. Our students went on excursion to Covenant University Ogun State Nigeria to show case their products and for sight seeing and socialization to justify,"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy".
The plan for their attachment to artisans in the Community is concluded. They will be posted to crafts men of their skill types as quickly as they start their second and final year in October/November 2012.

ON THE NET: Single Ladies Mania
Beyoncé music videos dominate YouTube
Published: Friday, January 9, 2009 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 9, 2009 at 11:50 a.m.
A number of high-profile musicians have made enormous dents on YouTube: Soulja
Boy, Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers and Chris Brown among them.
But Beyoncé is giving them all a run for their money.
Her video for If I Were a Boy has been watched by more than 34 million on the video-sharing site. In it, Beyoncé imagines life if gender roles were reversed between her and her boyfriend (a fictional boyfriend, alas, not Jay-Z).
This offers the particular thrill of seeing Beyoncé as a police officer which, if it ever happened, would surely cause such a rash of speeding (with the hopes of a ticket from the pop star) that roads would resemble Grand Theft Auto.
The popularity of If I Were a Boy is matched by Beyoncés Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It). That video has yielded at least 22 million views and inspired countless bedroom copycats.
Whereas If I Were a Boy is conceptual and has a narrative, Single Ladies is simple, imitable and iconic. Its just Beyoncé dancing in a black leotard and heels (and a bizarre metal glove), flanked by two similarly dressed female dancers on a plain white studio set.
The video has spawned dozens and dozens of amateur versions, from the mimicking of a toddler named Arianna to more aggressively serious attempts, like that of a 20-year-old North Carolina native who identifies himself as a Staples employee named Chris or Angel Pariz.
Beyoncé has spoken about how bowled over she is by all the imitations and met some of the dancers. She also joined the Saturday Night Live parody of the video with Justin Timberlake and cast members Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan. (That video also has been watched by millions online.)
Beyoncé and her record label, Sony/BMG, surely hope her latest video, Diva, also hits a nerve. Released Dec. 24, it returns the singer to the simple style of her and two dancers in a plain setting this time an empty warehouse.
Its a grittier and less-catchy song, though, and the video hasnt sparked the same attention, drawing less than one million viewers on YouTube so far.
But the popularity of Beyoncés videos only reinforce how important music videos are to the Google-owned YouTube. Many of the most-watched videos in YouTubes short history are music videos. (Remember how OK Gos treadmill clip was such a hit in YouTubes infancy?)
Earlier last month, though, videos by artists signed to Warner Music Group began disappearing from the site after contract negotiations broke down between the music company and YouTube. The takedown included many fan-created videos, as well.
Its a somewhat ironic development for a medium the music video originally created as an advertisement to sell records (and thus something labels wanted played as much as possible). But as album sales have declined, all revenue streams are more important to labels.
At the same time, YouTube is aware of how much music videos are part of its lifeblood; the site promptly posted a blog entry explaining the situation to users.
Theres competition in being an online broadcaster of music videos, too. Artist pages on MySpace increasingly host music videos, and MTV earlier last year launched the beta version of the impressive MTVMusic.com, a player that hosts seemingly every music video.
And naturally, Beyoncés Single Ladies is one of the most-viewed videos at MTVMusic, too.

Featured review from Albert RowuinRed Velvet

The acting, particularly by the female lead, were my favorite parts of this. I'm no prude, but the scenes with nudity were gratuitous and were some of my least favorite. This was a fairly interesting play and had me engaged trying to understand what was motivating the boy lead to do what he does. Not sure I'd ever see this again though, or whether I'd recommend it to others.

The Maverick is a fun place to visit. The staff are always friendly and the shows are great! This was a more serious topic but totally gripping and well acted!

The acting was wonderful, but could have skipped the nudity part. We enjoyed it but had a hard time hearing the starring woman.

Another great performance at the Maverick. I love this theater and I appreciate that they aren't afraid to do some of the darker side of life.
This show contains nudity and strong language, and is not intended for audiences under 17.
