Big multi-national corporations and Wall Street are driving our national economy. That is, at least, what many consumers of print, radio, and TV news are lead to believe. However, this is far from the truth. In reality, 99.7 percent of U.S. employer firms are small businesses according to the recent 2010 U.S. census.
Small businesses are job creators. Though only 21.5 percent of small businesses actually are employers (U.S. Census 2010) a whopping 49.2 percent of all employees in the private sector of our economy are working for a small business. Small businesses create two out of three new jobs.
These figures are a convincing testimonial for the contributions of small privately-held businesses to our national economy.
So, why not start your very own small business instead of remaining stuck in a dead-end job?
There are multiple answers to this question. But the main objection to starting a new business is that the failure rate of start-up ventures is rather high. About fifty percent of new businesses survive the first five years. Survival rates increase after that.
Yet, proven ways to increase the odds of survival of a new business are often hidden in inconspicuous headlines such as "UPS Franchise for sale" or something to that effect. Starting a new business as a franchise of an established and successful enterprise greatly improves the odds of success because the new business can rely on already established procedures, products or services. They take much of the guesswork out of starting a new business. Your 'new' business instantly advances into the column of enterprises that have survived the first five years or so.
True, it takes cash to buy a franchise. But it also takes cash to start your own business. Your odds are far better with a franchise than going on your own.

A former priest who last year pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a young Northeast boy denied on Thursday he had ever touched the child.
Testifying in the trial of two men accused of molesting the same boy, Edward Avery, 70, told jurors he had not indecently assaulted a 10-year-old St. Jerome parish altar boy. He also said he had only a slight acquaintance with Charles Engelhardt, a priest the victim said had molested him first and that he didn't know Bernard Shero, 49, a former parish school teacher who also is charged with assaulting the boy.
Looking frail in prison clothing, Avery said he pleaded guilty in March 2012 to charges he had molested the boy in spring 1999 because he believed it was the best way to avoid a long incarceration.
ldquo;I didn't want to die in prison," he said.
Avery was sentenced to two and a half to five years in prison. He said he has been incarcerated for about 10 months.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Avery's alleged victim, 24, testified in detail that the former priest had molested him twice after Engelhardt, now 66, had done so once during the same school year. He said he was sexually assaulted once by Shero, his sixth-grade homeroom teacher, in 2000.
The sexual abuse, he said, changed him. A recovering heroin addict, the man said his life has been filled with drug use, drug rehabilitation attempts and arrests.
Before Avery denied he had assaulted the boy, he answered several questions from Assistant District Attorney Mark Cippoletti about his guilty plea, agreeing that he did plead guilty before Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina just days before he was to go on trial with Monsignor William Lynn and the Rev. James Brennan.
The alleged victim had testified last year during Brennan's and Lynn's trial. Jurors couldn't reach verdicts on charges Brennan had sexually assaulted a Bucks County teen. However, they found Lynn, who had served 12 years as the archdiocese's secretary of clergy, guilty of endangering children because he had investigated allegations against Avery, knew he was a molester and had kept him in ministry, thereby putting children at risk. Lynn is serving a prison term of three to six years but is appealing his conviction.
In testimony earlier Thursday, Andrew Snyder, a Philadelphia police detective, told jurors how hearing a thump coming from Shero's Bristol apartment worried him on the day in February 2011 he had gone there to arrest him.
It sounded like a body, he said.
It took some time, but he and other officers eventually got into the apartment and found a woozy Shero. They got him to a hospital. The detective said Shero had told him he had taken sleeping pills. Snyder said he also found a "suicide letter" from Shero to his parents in the man's apartment.
Snyder read the letter in court. In it, Shero apologizes to his parents for the humiliation that had endured because of the allegations against him. Nowhere in the letter read in court Thursday did Shero admit to molesting the victim. ••

Left Out in Turkey
"In Turkey we have no minorities," the leading official in a poor district in one of the poorest provinces of eastern Turkey told me in April. The official was in his late twenties; he had studied public administration at a Turkish university, then received training in Ankara and spent a few months at a language institute in England's West Country. He enthusiastically practiced his English on me. There was not much use for it in his district, where most people speak one of two Kurdish tongues, Kirmanji or Zaza, and many of the old people do not know Turkish.
The Kirmanji speakers in the district are Sunni Kurds, of which there are at least 10 million in Turkey. The Zaza speakers are members of Turkey's roughly 12-million-strong Alevi community, heterodox Shiites of Turkmen and Kurdish lineage. Neither of these groups, the official went on, should be called a minority; that would imply that there is discrimination against them, which is not the case. He told me this with the assurance of someone who knows that he, and his view of the world, enjoy the sanction of a large and powerful state. You can find young men like him throughout Turkey sitting in government offices, where a cast of the death mask of Kemal Atatürk, the republic's founder, is hanging on the wall behind them.
The Turkish Republic's attitude toward minorities only makes sense if you have an idea of the contribution that the nationalism of those minorities made to the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Starting in the eighteenth century, Europe's Christian powers assumed the role of protectors of their coreligionists in the empire. By the nineteenth century, they were promoting nationalist movements among them and protecting the newly independent states that had been created from former Ottoman territories, such as Greece, Serbia, and Romania. The process of making new nations was lethal for the empire and very often for those Muslims who were caught up in it; millions of Muslims were forced out of those newly independent states (besides the new autonomous territory of Bulgaria) and fled to Anatolia, the empire's heartland. By the eve of World War I, Anatolia had become a refuge for dispossessed Muslims from the Bal- kans and from the Caucasian territories that Russia had won during the Russian–Ottoman War of 1877–1878.
But Anatolia also had large non-Muslim minorities, including the Orthodox Greeks and mostly Gregorian Christian Armenians. These minorities looked to outside Christian powers for protection, especially to Greece (in the case of the Greek Orthodox) and Russia (in the case of the Armenians). Many of them were uneasy about the Ottoman decision during World War I to side with Germany against their own protectors, while the Ottomans viewed them as potential fifth columnists.
In 1915, following severe military defeat at the hands of the Russians and an Armenian uprising in the eastern city of Van, the Ottomans ordered the deportation of Armenians from Anatolia. Well over one million are thought to…

I know I've said all kinds of things about Athena. Mostly bad things. Okay, all of them were bad.
Let me tell you, though, that this episode is full of win. Maybe it's some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, or maybe it really was the most entertaining episode since it begun. Either way, Athena found its way out of the dark woods of "No Development", and entered the "Insane but Fun" territory which can never be a bad thing in my books.
Episode 12 recap
So, thanks to Hye In, Son Hyuk is finally arrested and taken to the NTS. When asked how she got there so quickly, she explains that she was already on her way to the hospital when she received NTS' text. Therefore, she got there first. Her story seems legit, so they let her off the hook. For now.
With Son Hyuk on the verge of death, Kwon's position is higher and more powerful – more so considering that they sure have some shared history on their backs. Once Son Hyuk is out of danger, it'll be his time to be questioned not by USA's agents, but by the NTS. After hearing this news, Jung Woo is shocked – why should they lead the investigations? Easy, that's their only way to continue their ongoing inquiry on Athena and those pesky double agents.
In conclusion, Jung Woo will be the leader alongside Jae Hee and Joon Ho as his partners, while Kwon buys some time for them. No one else should know about this. Well, good thing you emphasized this, or else he would've ran to Hye In and tell her these details. Hmph.
The fact that they're doing this without the DIS' authorization makes some noise in Joon Ho's head – they'll eventually find out, and they'll be in a difficult situation. His concerns only underline their need to be efficient and fast in their mission.
Hye In's absence is also noticed by Joon Ho. He claims it to be weird that, since she was the one responsible for Son Hyuk's arrest, she's not part of the special team. Jung Woo only tells him that these were his direct orders, but looks a teensy bit conflicted. Either way, he instructs Joon Ho to do his job.
It's clear that Jung Woo is conflicted over Hye In's participation in the whole thing. From afar, he looks at her and remembers her words when she dumped him. Meanwhile, she's not so focused on him as she's on Son Hyuk's last words before being arrested.
Son Hyuk: I was planning to cut my ties to Athena when this project was over. The headquarters agreed. They gave me their word that I would live the rest of my life as I please. But it's no use. It's all over for me. But as for you, you must live.
Now that her tutor-boss is biting some bitter dust, her future doesn't seem so smooth as before.
At the Blue House, Kwon's maneuver isn't so well received – a potential diplomatic conflict is something they should avoid. It only takes him to mention the obstacle Athena would represent to their nuclear power exportation to make the Secretary agree (albeit doubtfully). He's urged to be as quiet and fast as possible.
The Special Team is at full speed in order to complete their job. Jae Hee and Jung Woo spend some time at their Special Team Room, where he wonders whether she found something useful while controlling Son Hyuk. She gives some roundabouts and file information (studies, etc) – being a bright man, it's puzzling how he went to the dark side so imprudently.
It's the power of money that rots even the best of men, Jung Woo affirms.
Well, DUH. Are they trying to give us some IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT LIFE here?
It's time for Jae Hee to rub some salt into Jung Woo's wound. She's the first person to mention Hye In's suspicious behavior, and how she supposedly entered that shack not caring about the protocol. That would be pretty dumb of her, right? Unless–
"She was a Black Agent, they work alone", Jung Woo explains.
All of us know he's trying to auto-convince himself of her innocence, but it should be about time for him to stand up and investigate her. At least, google her, dammit. Jae Hee rolls her eyes in disbelief and shuts up – what's the point, right? If he's a damn secret agent who doesn't find the need to check someone's past, life will eventually teach him that lesson.
Kwon, on his visit to the Blue House, runs into Director Han, who's still ignorant on recent events regarding Son Hyuk. He's not given as much information as he would've wanted to, but senses something in the air. Maybe he's being left out of some big developments?
Meanwhile, the Special Team is finding it tricky to find anything useful. The doctor's kidnapper was a professional camera avoider, so her face isn't clear either.
Facing a serious dead-end, Jung Woo visits Son Hyuk. It's a shame Jung Woo has his typical loser posture and Son Hyuk is drugged (?) or weak, because it would've been a great moment to give us watchers the intense eyefucking and hottie face to face we deserve.
SO. Jung Woo goes to Son Hyuk and instead of being a bit dense on the "TELL ME SOMETHING THAT'S USEFUL" part, he tells him about his mission to find that Athena agent that's working within the NTS. Oh, sorry peeps, I forgot to say that his mission was secret.
Wait, Jung Woo forgot it too.
Is he some kind of homo sapiens with the brain of a chimpanzee? I mean, seriously, tell me how that's smart of him. His only intention is to brag in front of a handcuffed enemy? Whatever.
The relationship with the North ain't going well, either. The Blue House Secretary is cancelling all of their meetings, detonating a furious rage in the envoy. They feel they're not being taken seriously, and that this is a declaration of war.
The clock's ticking for Ki Soo too. He has to wrap up his special task sooner than soon in order to keep the Lt. General happy. Another ingredient is added when Ji Young (the special envoy who warned him of the Lt. General's arrival in episode 11) mentions that he hasn't forgiven him and that, if he wants his mother to be safe, he must do what he's ordered.
It's time for him to betray Jung Woo's trust, then (not that he doesn't deserve it). Alongside Mr. Chang, they go directly to the bank where that security box was, posing as NTS agents, and ask the manager to give them full access to the CCTV.
Hye In takes her phone, using a second chip, and sends cryptic messages to an agent. Everything would be fine IF Joon Ho hadn't detected that the same chip Andy used to contact someone while on the run is now in motion. Busted.
2 plus 2, hands in blue, and we have a clear path to Hye In!! Finally!! They don't know it yet, but I'm crossing my fingers.
The suspect is in the NIS, so Jung Woo and Jae Hee rush there aided by Joon Ho, who's left checking the map to give the exact location. They chase the car to a parking lot, where the person who received Hye In's text (let's call him X) is headed (she's on her way there, too – exciting!).
Jae Hee takes the same elevator as X, takes note of the floor he'll go to (B4) and informs Jung Woo, who's waiting in a second elevator. Hye In, meanwhile, takes a third elevator to B4 too.
Everyone is about to be reunited in a lovely robbers and cops fashion until Jae Hee's reflection on a car is noticed by X! GAHHHHH!!! Hye In quickly hides, before anyone could see her while X tries to run. Jung Woo follows him, but he catches him too late – he's taken a suicide pill.
That's it, time out. I was genuinely excited for the possibility of Hye In being captured, only to be disappointed by Jae Hee's lack of hiding abilities. They burst my pretty bubble, booo.
The Special Team's plan was completely ruined – not only they lost X, Hye In is now aware of their mission and has got ridden of the chip. Apparently, she (or someone close) informs Director Han of X's death, and he instructs her to ask for a plan B from the headquarters. He gets rid of his special chip too.
In an elaborate attempt to get the final information on the security box, Ki Soo fakes an internal audit by the NIS. He asks Sang Chul (he must have seen him in the CCTV record) to go to his mahjong place, where he is all worried and handcuffed. After a brief chat, they're separated in order to be questioned. Sung Chul is accused of hiding slush funds in the safety box so they can find out the real contents of it. He's reticent at first, but eventually gives in.
My heart weeps for your soul, Ki Soo.
At the NTS, per Kwon's orders, Son Hyuk receives one nasty injection. There are two things that must be clear when talking about them: Son Hyuk is planning not to say a word, and that he deeply regrets not having killed Kwon in the past. Today, Kwon will give him the chance to set things right and confess.
Time's running short, he'll have to decide.
After his visit, Kwon summons Jung Woo and asks him about X. His name and affiliation are finally revealed – Han Sang Jin from the NIS – but there's not so much more information. They both think that Son Hyuk won't talk even under torture, but Kwon wonders why he gave up without fighting or committing suicide. He wonders and leaves it there, as a string for Jung Woo to grasp.
Tragedy keeps falling on the Special Team's head, as a folder from Han Sang Jin that was supposed to be their great breakthrough, is protected with an auto-delete algorithm. They found only one clue: the IP address to which he sent information was the Presidential Secretariat in the Blue House. That's really a big deal, since a lot of people work there, and all of them are potential Athena members.
Jae Hee visits Son Hyuk too (at this point, he's like the celebrity of the NTS), and asks why he approached her. WELL, DUH. Did she think there was something there that wasn't "I need to control you because you're my potential enemy"? He represses a laugh and dismisses her reproaches.
Director Han is more nervous by the minute. He goes to the NTS to check if they've found Son Hyuk. Kwon quickly denies having caught him, but his unusual serenity and confidence are noticed by Director Han. Something's fishy around here.
And suddenly, unexpectedly… Jung Woo starts to gather other people's doubts over Hye In and Son Hyuk and the strange bond that might exist between them.
Let us all sing alleluia!!!
Adding to his puzzle, Joon Ho gives him an old photo he found while looking through Son Hyuk's belongings – there's a younger Son Hyuk with a little girl. On the back, it's written "Yu Jin's first birthday". He immediately goes to Son Hyuk to ask about this Yu Jin. The latter is shocked but doesn't utter a sound.
Therefore, their next task is to find out who this girl is. With an old photo and a name? Good luck with that.
Hye In, who hasn't had an important role in all this but feels that there's something developing under her ignorant nose, finally breaks into the Special Team's room (using her magical phone that has the "NTS passwords cracker" app installed). He finds a lot of papers and the surveillance computer that transmits Son Hyuk's state live.
Have you stopped singing alleluia? Please, resume the singing, because Jung Woo has finally had the guts to formulate a theory of his own. After being told that the photo is insufficient, he visits Son Hyuk again.
Jung Woo: That person in the photo… We both know her, right?
Me: *throws confetti*
Too bad their time is up, USA has found out where Son Hyuk is, so they'll have to deliver their evidence wrapped up in shiny paper. Joon Ho, as always defending his country's pride, protests – will they give up so easily? So it seems, kid. Kwon ain't happy either, but they'll have to let go.
One that is particularly unhappy is Hye In, whose concerned eyes don't go unnoticed by Jung Woo. Mmm, sizzling! His newly found instinct tells him he has to double check those CCTV records from the hospital. He captures a partial image (from nose up) of the kidnapper and puts it through a face recognition software.
(Didn't they do this before?)
Anyway, on his way to the airport, Son Hyuk is retaken by his guys, as half of the supposedly good spies were Athena boys in fact. This was bound to happen, and Son Hyuk has his lovely first killings after being captured too! He must have had withdrawal symptoms.
Bring it on.
Good news is, Andy's back too! Yay. Now, the universe is balanced again – the good guys are following strong clues, and our baddies are back in place, contemplating the world and how to destroy it.
After reviewing all of Hye In's past interventions within the NTS, Jung Woo is ready to face his final challenge. He waits for her, by her car and calls her name. The real one.
Jung Woo: Yu Jin.
Personal Comments
OMGOMGOMG!! I feel like I've been waiting for this episode for ages!
One can't say that Athena is good in any objective way (it isn't), but we've finally reached a point in which the game is ON (YEAHS!). This is what we wanted when the drama started, a ridiculously packed action drama that was fun and intriguing; with intelligent hot spies who know how to do their jobs and have crazy thingies that allow them to enter top secret places. The plot is shaky, the acting goes randomly from so-so to awful, there are lots of wasted opportunities for hilarity or development of some of the supporting casts; but may I go to hell if I say that this episode wasn't full of excitement.
Jung Woo graduated from Spying School at last! I'm so proud of him, all of our suffering, our pains seeing him fail constantly, enduring that biatch's betrayal, have led us to this final showdown. His stare is strong in contrast with hers, that seems like a scared kitty. HAH! Let's see where this goes in the next episode, and whether he continues to grow into a useful agent.
What about Hye In, then? Now she's as good as a dead person, found out by the NTS and insecure regarding her affiliation with Athena. She's in despair, her cover blown out, her real name out in the open! Her reaction could be both interesting and unexpected, always keeping her prime objective – her own survival.
And, as a final observation, my favorite from this episode is Kwon. Oh, Kwon, he who seems like the omnipresent puppet master. From day one, he's been that fairy godmother for Jung Woo, always trying to send him through the right path; and in general, the only sane person there but surrounded by idiots. He gives clues, cryptic glances and waits, he always waits for his team to do something right. He behaves as if he was only hoping for them to discover what he has already discovered. I like that, even when he's not omnipresent and this is all my personal fabrication. His almost mystic presence fills me with joy because he talks as if he knew the ending to all this.
If things go as planned, Athena should pick up pretty quickly from now on, splattering its insanity all over the place.
Let the bloodbath begin!

The Rashomon Effect
Was The Young & The Restless's Executive Producer Josh Griffith fired? Did he quit? Is he still there? All of the above, according to my sources. I may end up with egg on my face like all the others who have ventured into this morass, but I'm going to take the plunge. Apparently, Griffith voiced his displeasure with head writer Maria Bell's stories to TPTB including the man who cuts his paycheck, Bill Bell Jr. At one point he wanted to quit, but then he reconsidered. It didn't make for a harmonious workplace. Finally, Bell Jr. decided to put everyone out of their misery by letting Griffith go. He has been informed and is still on the job until his contract expires in early September. The WGA did phone the show about the allegations that he was rewriting scripts, but that was not a major factor in his dismissal. Tomorrow everyone could kiss and make-up, and I'll look like an idiot. Each person, myself included, who has reported on this has relied on sources who only knew part of the story. Every version has some elements of the truth but isn't a complete picture, like the movie Rashomon.
I have a feeling a something similar happened at Days of Our Lives. I read Ed Scott's interview with Michael Logan. He denies the allegations that he was rewriting the show. As someone who worked with him for years, I believe him. But someone else who I trust swears that the allegations were accurate. This is where the Rashomon effect comes into play. What seemed like the dialogue tweaks that occasionally happen over the course of rehearsing and shooting a scene to one person were major rewrites to another. This is why it's so important for writers and producers to have a close relationship. When everyone is communicating properly, the producer phones the writer to make sure it's okay to change some lines – and then learns that the lines in question are actually important to future story. When the producer and writer aren't getting along, they don't have those conversations. Mistakes are made and you end up where we are now – with people fired and rumors flying.
Where Have All The Laura Spencers Gone?
Today, I'll be tuning in to General Hospital to watch Genie Francis return to her iconic role as Laura Spencer. I'm hoping this time she'll be back for good – and finally cured of her mysterious catatonia. Francis's return has generated both mainstream media attention and fan buzz. But GH shouldn't have to reach into its past to generate excitement. It should be making the characters on its canvas as compelling as Luke and Laura. ABC soaps managed to do it throughout the 90s. GH's Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) and All My Children's Leo DuPres (Josh Duhamel) are two examples of characters that viewers tuned in to see even if they weren't doing anything but eating breakfast.
As much as fans complain about newer characters displacing veterans, the shows need both to thrive. Every character was once a newbie. When utilized properly, new characters generate new story for longtime favorites. To cite a recent example, think of the shot in the arm the arrival of Jonathan (Tom Pelphrey) gave to Guiding Light's Reva (Kim Zimmer). My few I-will-watch-the-show-just-to-see-this-character newcomers of the past five years include As The World Turn's Luke (Van Hansis) and the early days of Gwen (Jennifer Landon, ATWT) and Days of Our Lives' EJ (James Scott). Unfortunately, these characters aren't being cultivated the way they would have been in the golden days of soaps. Gwen's sweet slow-burn love story with Will was sped up and became less appealing. College-aged Gwen developed baby rabies and dealt with a clichéd crazy lookalike. Despite tremendous popularity, Luke is often relegated to the backburner due to what I can only conclude is a misguided belief that much of the daytime audience is homophobic. Instead of creating an EJ/Sami/Lucas love triangle that could have echoed GH's classic Luke/Laura/Scott triangle, the show squandered EJ's potential by turning him from morally ambiguous to a violent villain and rapist. (Luke raped Laura, but that was before America understood that rape was a violent act of degradation, not a crime of passion.) EJ then became a good guy without undergoing any on-screen redemption. EJ's personality has changed so many times that his only character consistency comes from the strength of Scott's performance.
Landon and Pelphrey have already left daytime. It's probable Hansis and Scott will when their contracts expire. They're young, talented and gorgeous. They'd be crazy not to attempt primetime or movie careers. It's wonderful that it is no longer difficult for actors to transition from daytime to other mediums, but the genre is the poorer for it. Talented newcomers often choose to leave at the end of their first contract making it difficult for shows to tell the multi-year stories that used to be the hallmark of the genre. America got to watch Luke & Laura's love story unfold slowly. If Luke and Laura's original story had happened today, Francis and Geary might have left the show before their characters had a chance to get married. In my opinion, this actor flight is part of the reason why soaps have become so fast-paced and plot driven. I hope that GH's Powers-That-Be will be inspired by the positive response to Francis's return. Maxie (Kristen Storms) has what it takes to become a must-see character. She's spunky, self-aware and not afraid to fight dirty. As an added bonus, Storms has already starred in a short-lived primetime series and may be willing to commit for the long haul. The show should write a serious, frontburner love story for Maxie and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). If it is well-crafted, viewers would have a reason to tune in to GH besides nostalgia for its glory days.

The Ghost of Faffner Hall
this wiki
The Ghost of Faffner Hall was a music education series which ran on ITV and HBO for 13 episodes in 1989.
Faffner Hall is a grand music conservatory where the residents -- human, animal and monster -- enjoy making music of all types. After the Hall's founder, Fughetta Faffner, dies, her ghost continues to haunt the hall. Eventually the Hall falls into the hands of her villainous, music-hating great-great-grandnephew, Farkas Faffner. He moves in, and wants to rid the Hall of its collection of musical instruments. Fughetta's ghost is forced to work overtime to defeat Farkas's schemes.[1] Fughetta is aided by youngsters Mimi and Riff, and the eccentric Wild Impresario.
Each episode studies a certain music curriculum created by Candian University of York professors John Paynter and R. Murray Schafer.[2]
Louise Gold starred as Fughetta Faffner, with Mak Wilson as Farkas, Richard Hunt as the Wild Impresario, Karen Prell as Mimi and Mike Quinn as Riff.
This show featured puppets made both by the Creature Shop and the Muppet Workshop; it was taped at the Newcastle-upon-Tyne facilities of ITV contractor Tyne Tees Television, which co-produced the show and distributed it across the ITV network.

Undefeated WBC welterweight titlist Floyd Mayweather, boxing's top pound-for-pound fighter, signed a blockbuster six-fight deal with Showtime on Tuesday, ending a 23-fight affiliation with HBO Sports.
Mayweather's first fight in his 30-month deal with the network will be May 4 on pay-per-view against Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), 29, a four-division world champion who has publicly sold himself as an opponent for Mayweather for the last few years.
Showtime vice president and general manager of sports programming Steven Espinoza, who has headed of the premium channel's sports division since November 2011, told USA TODAY Sports "It's the biggest deal (for Showtime) since (Mike) Tyson. I put it up there on the same level of importance. Floyd is far and away the most popular, well-known and talented fighter in the sport. It is absolutely critical for the . . . network that we secured him."
HBO Sports released a statement that said: "We made an aggressive and responsible pay-per-view offer. Now we move on. We are focused on the best boxing franchise in the television business. We are proud of the roster of superstar fighters and emerging stars who are scheduled to appear on the multiple HBO television platforms this year."
Mayweather, who will turn 36 on Sunday, is 43-0 with 26 knockouts and is the current WBC welterweight titlist and WBA super welterweight champ. His fight against Guerrero will be his first since defeating Miguel Cotto in May. That time away included two months in jail on a domestic assault charge against the mother of his children.
His first Showtime fight is expected to take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to The Los Angeles Times. Espinoza said the deal with the MGM Grand was not yet finalized.
Espinoza also would not reveal the dollar amount involved in the deal, but said the process has been ongoing for awhile. "Floyd and Al Haymon (Mayweather's business manager) looked at the proposal and came back with many questions and many comments.
"Ultimately, after a lot of discussion, a lot of thought, we were able to come up with a package that brought him over here."
Espinoza said Showtime's parent company, CBS, was instrumental in bringing Mayweather to the network. "It was announced as a joint deal, and that was because CBS is very involved in this deal, in the sense of supporting it with all its various platforms, and that was important to Floyd as well."
Espinoza said he understood that Mayweather "is very committed to being very active at this stage in his career. I feel he has plenty left in the tank. He always stays in tremendous shape. He's one of the hardest-working guys in the sport. He hasn't been in very many 'wars,' so to speak. Floyd is still at the top of his game, no question."
Mayweather is expected to be trained for his fight with Guerrero by his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., who trained his son in the past but the two have recently been estranged. Roger Mayweather, Floyd's uncle, has trained his nephew for several years. But Floyd Jr. tweeted on Valentine's Day that his father would train him for his May 4 fight.

Paul Weller cool and eclectic as ever at L.A. gig
November 4th, 2010, 3:37 pm by GEORGE A. PAUL, FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERPaul Weller is definitely a rare breed among musicians who started their careers in the '70s. Few of his contemporaries from British punk rock's first wave (apart from ex-Clash man Mick Jones) still have the restless energy and creative drive necessary to make an adventurous studio album like Wake Up the Nation, which arrived on Yep Roc Records in April.
Alongside electronic DJ Simon Dine (Noonday Underground), Weller's frequent collaborators sought to create a claustrophobic city-life vibe -- sans the acoustic instrumentation prevalent on 2008's equally ambitious 22 Dreams -- and basically succeeded. Some longtime enthusiasts might be initially puzzled by odd noises and instrumentals in a genre-splicing collection that crams 16 tracks into a 40-minute timeframe. Successive listens, however, reveal all its sonic nuances and hidden charms.
Guest musicians include drummer Bev Bevan (once of ELO), guitarist Kevin Shields (prime mover behind My Bloody Valentine) and Weller's former bandmate in the Jam, bassist Bruce Foxton, marking the pair's first recording together in more than 25 years. Earlier this year, Nation was nominated for the U.K.'s esteemed Mercury Music Prize, though it lost out to the xx's self-titled debut. But Weller also snagged an Ivor Novello, England's top songwriting award, honoring his lifetime achievement.
An invigorating Wiltern Theatre gig Wednesday night, part of a quick mini-tour with just one Los Angeles date and two in New York City, found Weller, 52, still in peak vocal and musical form. The venue was nearly full, a testament to his continued cult following here; back home in the U.K., arenas are the norm.
A few years back, the Modfather (as Weller is affectionately called) jettisoned his longtime touring band, culled from Ocean Colour Scene, but retained masterful lead guitarist Steve Craddock. This group -- keyboardist Andy Crofts, bassist Andy Lewis and drummer Steve Pilgrim -- were tight throughout the night. Each of them pitched in on background vocals, which made a big difference amid more soulful numbers like "Have You Made Up Your Mind" and a sweeping, Phil Spector-esque "No Tears to Cry."

So I need to have the user be able press 2 buttons/objects at the same time. It is a game controller: one to look around and one to walk around.
I know that we still (or at least could) can not check this through the emulator but I am using the tablet for debugging and I still can not get it working.
I have this line as the first line of my main:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
And my buttons have these lines:
MyButton.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, MyFunction);
The function is defined as:
private function MyFunction(event:TouchEvent):void { //Do something }
Yet, I still can not press two of them at the same time. I must also add that there are also mouse-based buttons in the app. Any input is more than welcome.
I use multitouch in several of my apps, and it works fine. Though the only things I do are as following:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, onTouchTap);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
I don't add the touchevent to specific elements, I add them to the stage (performance is ok, running in gpu mode)
In my event handler, I additionally need to read event.stageX and event.stageY to get the correct coordinates. Then I take my elements and check if they were in the touched zone(s)
Hmm never thought of adding event listener to the whole stage... I wonder if it makes the difference.
I also have TOUCH_BEGIN,TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END and TOUCH_OUT they work as they should with a single finger...
02-26-2013 10:13 PM - edited 02-26-2013 10:14 PM
On the PlayBook I used them on Objects as well without an issue.
I saw a lot of good iOS tutorials on YouTube for AS3 + Multitouch that also work on QNX if you need some code examples.
Edit:. I used tbese when first starting on multitouch and PB.
After rewriting the app without objects I realized that I had written the code such that whenever a button is pressed the values that other buttons are sending become 0... So multitouch has been working..

Importance of muscle mass03/17/2006 |
Is it true that it is important to continue lifting when trying to lose weight? I have heard that the muscle mass is what burns the calories. But I also know that muscle weighs more then fat. How can I get that balance and see the numbers drop?
Yes, it is true that you need to combine strength training with your routine and muscle does weigh more than fat. You need to switch your focus from decreasing weight to decreasing fat. Lowering your percent body fat and increasing your percent non-fat is key to lifelong health.

NewWave Pilates Apparel Designs for Men and Women
Men who've worried about finding appropriate Pilates wear, fret no longer. There's a new clothing maker out there with your needs in mind. NewWave Pilates Apparel is taking aim at the virtually untapped Pilates menswear market with a combination of high-tech, green fabrics and design specifically configured for Pilates movement. NewWave also has a full line of women's clothing, too. BASI Pilates™ founder Rael Isacowitz and Audrey McCann, owner of apparel line Pilates by Bonnie , teamed up to launch NewWave last year. The inspiration for the menswear comes straight from Isacowitz's own personal experience. Though he's had a decades-long Pilates career, he never quite found clothing that fit the right formula. "Over the years it has been difficult for me to find appropriate clothing for Pilates, both to teach and practice. It was either dance clothing, athletic clothing, yoga clothing, martial arts clothing…none felt right," he says. McCann concurred, pointing out that most men's active wear is either extremely loose, like basketball clothing, or extremely tight, like cycling wear. Under Isacowitz's direction, NewWave's clothes are designed to hit that not-tight, not-loose sweet spot and "stay with the body" as it ... |

Erika Bloom Launches Organic Pilates Clothing Line
By Lauren Charlip Tired of spending your waking hours in workout-wear fabrics that don't breathe, in colors are that are just a little too…colorful? Manhattan Pilates studio owner Erika Bloom launched a new line of Pilates apparel in April, designed so that you don't have to. It features camis, tees, tanks and pants in simple cuts and muted colors, with a trace of ballerina elegance—all made from organic cotton. Indeed it is one of the most subtle-looking fitness clothing lines we've seen. She's finding that her formula for versatile, low-key Pilates-wear is a winner. "What we really wanted to do was have basics that are super-flattering that people can wear while doing Pilates that are also super-flattering on the street," Bloom says. "I wear fitness clothes all day long. At a certain point you get tired of wearing the same thing over and over. Now I can greet my clients that come in off of Madison Avenue in their couture clothing, and I can still feel good." Fortunately, the Pilates client does not have the "high-tech" workout-wear performance needs like a biker or runner does. "For Pilates, you really want something form-fitting that you can move in, but you don't need something super-athletic to whisk away sweat," Bloom says. All of the pieces are simple, with no loose pieces or strings that can get caught in any of the machines or get in the way. For the street, the different pieces are great for layering with other clothing. The line's gauzy organic tees are long, so that your tush is covered if you're wearing leggings. And if coverage is not your desire, they also look great scrunched up above the hips. The seamless cami is a sexy, strappy top that could be worn straight out to dinner with some jewelry to jazz it up. The colors are what Bloom describes as "variations of neutral without being black and white…I'm a little bit of a typical New Yorker—I wear a lot of black and white. I chose colors where people like me still feel comfortable. I'm not a bright color type of person." One of the trickiest parts of developing the line was finding the right organic fabrics, said Bloom. Regular organic cotton was often too rough, she found, or too fragile—one wash and it woul... |

Time to grind!
KHHHHHHHHHHAAANi for one like these ach's and what they suggest.anyone notice the Titan's face on Ra'den's immortal type achievement?
Khan will be rare as Alliance... Why? You cant even win one ToK as Alliance. Its always loose... Other hard ones will be BoG and TP. But I guess one is going to take very long time... I'm talking about IoC disarm achie... Takes more then month...So its going to be very rare... At least on Alliance.
To have access to a discontinued model? Totally acceptable to cost an arm and a leg.
Nice ref for One-Up.
Any word on how to obtain the bat-mount yet?
Let 5.2 begin we are all ready for it:)
Genetically Unmodified Organism's description is wrong. It has the same one as From Dusk 'til Dawn.
Thanks for adding this list will be nice to refer back to, I'm to the point where I can't wait for 5.2 to go live for some of the changes especially to Sha & Galleon. My server is getting harder to get a group for Sha, just not as many bothering...maybe they forgot there is a mount possible.
Wow becames more interesting
These all seem quite nice and all, specially the pretty new raptor. But it would be nice to have feats of strength that are obtainable by the casual player. Ones that don't require a fairly hardcore raid group, or advanced level of PvP. That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be easy.It just seems like all the best rewards these days are for players who have the time/ luck to do the very top level content.
Oh good. More achievements I can get once the next expansion comes out :/

Following the story of multiple authors all claiming credit for creating Hannah Montana, a few folks have sent in the news that an Italian writer claims that she actually wrote a story that was the basis for the hit movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The woman claims she wrote and copyrighted (but never published) a short story in 1994. That should strike quite a few people as odd, as most people know that the movie is very loosely based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story that goes by the same name as the movie... which was published in 1921. You would think that if the filmmakers really wanted to make a movie based on this unknown Italian office-worker's story, it would have been a hell of a lot cheaper than paying for the rights to the Fitzgerald story. Again, though, like the Hannah Montana case, the basic conceit of the story (someone aging backwards) is hardly that original, and is an idea that lots of people have had over time. It seems pretty silly to claim ownership of it.

I smell a 2nd lawsuit...
Perhaps the Fitzgerald estate should sue this woman for stealing his story? -
Anonymous Coward, 4 Feb 2009 @ 10:27amI thought it was based on a Star Trek Voyager episode...that was based on a Buck Rogers episode.
Anonymous Coward, 4 Feb 2009 @ 10:32amNo, no, no.
Based on Merlin in Le Morte d'Arthur (1485). The estate of Sir Thomas Malory should take notice.
And of course, if anyone ever figures out where the Arthurian legends originate, someone else will be up to sue everyone else... -

Oh please
Piers Anthony, Chronos, the "Incarnations of Immortality" series, circa late-80's. Similar mechanism, main character ages in reverse time to everyone else, so he lives backwards. This is hardly a new idea. The IDEA cant be stolen, just the IMPLEMENTATION. Did her story have a man named Benjamin Button? Did her character experience the SAME things as in the movie? The SAME set pieces, characters he interacts with, time, date, etc? Because just a "similar idea" isnt enough with all the prior art, sorry. Fitz got there before everyone else, suck it up. -

wrote and copyrighted?
Just a detail, but you don't 'write and copyright'. As soon as an idea is in fixed form, it is automatically subject to copyright. The US, alone in the world, requires registration before you can start an infringement action, but this does not 'create the copyright', it just gives you documentation necessary to file an action. Come on guys, this is basic. -
Re: wrote and copyrighted?
Just a detail, but you don't 'write and copyright'.
To be clear, she wrote and *registered* the copyright. -
bikey (profile), 4 Feb 2009 @ 7:57pm
Re: Re: wrote and copyrighted?
There's no such thing as 'registering' the copyright (except to bring an action) outside the US and after 1989. -

Public Domain
If Fitzgerald's story was publishing in 1921, it is likely in the public domain already, and wouldn't have to be licensed by the film-makers. -
SuperSparky, 4 Feb 2009 @ 11:34am
Re: Public Domain
Only if the Copyright was not renewed. Which you could do even before the time was extended for Disney's sake. -
LostSailor, 4 Feb 2009 @ 3:25pm
Re: Re: Public Domain
Actually, since this was first published in 1921, it would have been eligible for one renewal after the first 28 year period, but even then, would not have been eligible for further extension even under the 1976 copyright act (falling short by a year or so). I'm pretty sure this is in the public domain and no rights would have to have been secured by the filmmakers. -
DanC, 4 Feb 2009 @ 3:36pm
Re: Re: Re: Public Domain
Correct. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was collected with other short stories into the book Tales of the Jazz Age, is in the public domain, and available on Project Gutenberg. -
bikey (profile), 4 Feb 2009 @ 7:55pm
Re: Re: Public Domain
Renewal was only relevant when the term was 28 years. After 1976, it was 50 years, and then and then and then, but renewals no longer relevant. -

Not again
A story like this comes up every time a popular movie comes out. How many movies were "written" by people who either want to blackmail the studio to give them money or they want attention.
I forget the name of the previous movie, but something like 10 people came forward to say they came up with the idea and should be paid, when the movie was written by a single screenwriter, based on his own book! -

Yeah. Original.
Bckwards aging was also the concept behind Merlin, I believe, where he was born old and hence had wisdom beyond his "years."
This is all bunk.
