About this encyclopediaSimulcasting
Christopher H. Sterling
To simulcast is to provide the same program at the same time over two or more electronic media (broadcast, cable, or satellite) channels—a simultaneous broadcast. Most typical is simulcasting of broadcasts over an AM and FM station in the same market, or over both a radio and a television station. But there are many variations and the most common today is a radio station simulcasting its signal over the Internet. The relevance of simulcasting to journalism is found most strongly in sportscasting. The first widespread use of simulcasting in the United States utilized AM and FM stations in the late 1940s. As the new FM service developed, network and AM broadcasters argued that the most efficient way to build its audiences was with popular AM program fare, both news and entertainment. Given that the new service had little or no money to invest in program personnel or content, the idea ...

The Cycle Track Concept for Pacific Avenue |
The City of Tacoma has posted some interesting architectural renderings (A) (B) of two concept designs for the greening of Downtown Pacific Avenue. In both concepts the architects propose additional street trees, rain garden-type storm drainage, and some form of road diet with bicycle right of way. In Concept A, bicycles would get a bike lane on both sides, but they would also have to compete with angled parking. In Concept B, bikes would get their own dedicated right of way to link Old City Hall at S. 7th St. to S. 17th and the planned Prairie Line Trail. Few transit elements appear to be present in this streetscape treatment, but there may be more to this than can be seen from the PDF's posted by the City.
Ken Peachey, a local cyclist, sees an opportunity for the City to live up to its sustainability principles. In an email he sent out this week he cites the recently unanimously adopted City of Tacoma's Mobility Master Plan policy, which was unanimously adopted by the City Council back in June, which states:
the City will give "…precedence to pedestrians, then to bicyclists and public transit. …The City of Tacoma will use this model as a conceptual tool for elevating pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation in the planning and design of streets in a manner that is consistent with the City's Complete Streets policy and Climate Action Plan."Interested people are encouraged to attend the charette scheduled for Thursday and to submit their comments on the plans to firstname.lastname@example.com by 5pm on Friday, December 10th.

If the person carrying it casts the Group Gatestone Teleport spell, they will be awarded the "Tele-fail" achievement at the end of the dungeon. The same can be done with a normal Gatestone. Whenever a player carrying the stone dies, the stone will be dropped onto the floor. A Group gatestone only appears at Complexity 5 and above.
It could be alchemised for 3 coins, and after that players could teleport to the smuggler room if they use group gatestone teleport.
After an unknown dated update you can't sell this to the smuggler anymore or alchemize it, and attempting to do so will yield the message of "You can't sell that item."
- If you use this item on the Smuggler, he will respond by saying he has no idea what it is.
- If you eat food while teleporting to the gatestone, you will appear standing, with the teleport still in animation.
- If you drop the gatestone when fighting Icy bones you might find that the stone rises with the spikes that Icy bones generates from the floor.
- If you place the gatestone on one of the table at the base, teleporting to the group gatestone will be directed towards you as if you had the group gatestone in you inventory even though it is lying on the table.
- If you get pulled into the lava by Kal'ger The Warmonger and died with the gatestone, you will not be able to teleport to it until it is picked back up again.

About Sessions
The Little Sage is all about connecting you with your own inner guidance, equipping you with the tools to rely on your truth and voice. But, I know every now and then it's great to get an objective, external perspective, or an expert's guidance on applying what you've sensed yourself.
A session with me is geared towards empowering you through the insight I share. You can work one-on-one with me in one of two ways: a personalised program of intuitive coaching or a one-off psychic reading.
Given the new direction for The Little Sage, the bulk of my appointments are for intuitive life coaching clients. This gives you access to me over a longer period of time, rather than a one-off reading. Coaching takes a reading one step further – providing you with the tools, means and personalised assistance from me to activate what was discussed in your initial reading. If you'd still prefer a one-off session, this can be arranged but will be dependent on appointment availability around the coaching schedule.

Everyone should have seen this coming.
With Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike" becoming a film hit, the director and the movie's star, Channing Tatum, are headed to Broadway to produce "Magic Mike: The Musical."
Just a couple of days after screenwriter Reid Carolin said a Broadway show was in the works, Deadline reported that Soderbergh and Tatum are on board as producers (along with Carolin, Gregory Jacobs and Nick Wechsler) and "Magic Mike: The Musical" will be ready for next summer.
Good. Now women will have somewhere to put all those dollar bills.
Few details have been released about the production, other than Carolin will write the book. And that there will be mostly-naked men.

On Friday, September 18, the Powell River Campus of VIU was abuzz with activity as students gathered together for study skills sessions. Over 100 students from Culinary Arts, Carpentry, Welding, Adult Upgrading and University programs crowded into the gymnasium where they were welcomed by Educational Advisor, Carol Sansburn. Principal Arlette Raaen outlined some of the opportunities available this year on campus, then a prayer was offered by Elder Elsie Paul.
The Plenary session was hosted by local improvisation group, "The Defrosted Flakes," cracking up the audience with their rendition of skits as they took suggestions from audience members to enact characters such as a blind stripper or a clumsy belly dancer.
After a short but tasty coffee break with treats from Starbucks, students were able to choose from a variety of workshops. Amazing Grammar Tips, Note-taking Beyond the Highlighter, Learning Styles, Finding a Career You Love, and Relaxation 101 were some of the offerings by volunteer instructors.
Student Union representatives, Patrick Barbosa and Steven Beasley bravely started their day early so they could catch the morning ferry. Their presentation was well attended—could it be the many give-aways that were offered? Students were appreciative of the freebies offered by the Student Union: goody bags, a pizza lunch, and one lucky attendee received an Ipod Nano.
Students were able to get their photo I.D., log on to student accounts, and set up their wireless connections for lap tops. Ann Trousdale from the library offered a session to introduce students to its resources and technologies.
Local businesses were generous in offering prizes, so many students received gift baskets, gift certificates and VIU wear.
Opportunities to mix and mingle with students from all the programs are not frequent, so students were able to meet fellow learners. Plans are in place for next year's Campus Kickoff. If you have an idea for a workshop, contact Carol Sansburn at VIU Powell River: email@example.com.

RAPD markers indicate the occurrence of structured populations in a migratory freshwater fish species
Terumi Hatanaka; Pedro Manoel Galetti Jr.
Departamento de Genética e Evolução, Universidade Federal de São Carlos, São Carlos, SP, Brazil
Many factors have contributed to the destruction of fish habitats. Hydroelectric dams, water pollution and other environmental changes have resulted in the eradication of natural stocks. The aim of this study was to detect the genetic variation in Prochilodus marggravii from three collection sites in the area of influence of the Três Marias dam (MG) on the São Francisco river (Brazil), using the RAPD technique. The results obtained revealed that the fish in the downstream region nearest the dam have a higher similarity coefficient than those from the other sampling sites that may be related to differences in environmental characteristics in these regions. Additionaly, significant differences in the band frequencies were observed from one collection site to another. These both findings suggest the occurrence of a structured population and have important implications for the conservation of the genetic variability of distinct natural P. marggravii stocks.
Key words: Prochilodus, RAPD, genetic structure, conservation genetic, fish.
Prochilodontidae fish are widely distributed throughout South America and have been reported in almost all South American hydrographic basins (Mago-Leccia, 1972).
Thirteen species of the Prochilodus genus are recognized (Castro, 1990) and three species, P. marggravii, P. affinis, and P. vimboides, live in the São Francisco basin (Britski, 1988), which comprises an area equivalent to 7.4% of Brazil's territory (Paiva, 1982; 1983). The two former species are migratory and are considered very important species for inland fishing in this river basin (Paiva, 1983). However, a dam built in 1960 on the main channel of the São Francisco river in the municipality of Três Marias (MG) prevents migratory fish from lower areas reaching most of the river's upper tributaries. There is no information on the effect of the construction of a new dam on the populational genetic structure of Neotropical migratory fish fauna. It is known that migratory fish require favorable conditions, determined by endogenous and exogenous factors, which guide migration and spawning. Free fish migration across a dam is often imparied and genetic variation and allelic frequency of migrating populations can be changed. Moreover, the environmental conditions prevailing in this region's hydrographic system have undergone profound changes both upstream and downstream from the dam (Sato and Osório, 1986). Drastic environmental conditions, caused mainly by reduced water flow, lower water temperature and oxygen rates just downstream from the dam, may be influencing some of the biological features of the living organisms in this area (Sato et al., 1995). Histological studies of gonads in P. marggravii have revealed reproductive disturbances in the specimens caught in the downstream area nearest the dam when compared to individuals from more distant regions (Sato et al., 1995).
Little is known about the population genetics of Prochilodus. Previous enzyme electrophoresis, used to quantify the genetic variations of P. lineatus collected from three sites in the Paraná river basin, detected no genetic divergences among the three samplings, suggesting a unique genetic pool of P. lineatus spread along the studied area (Revaldaves et al., 1997).
Another useful methodology to assess genetic variations in fish populations is the RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) technique, which is used in fishery management and conservation genetics of wild populations. Based on the amplification of genomic DNA by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) with arbitrary nucleotide sequence primers, RAPD can detect high levels of DNA polymorphisms and can produce fine genetic markers (Williams et al., 1990; Welsh and McClelland, 1990). Nevertheless, RAPD analysis has some limitations that must be considered. It shows dominant inheritance and marker/marker homozygotes cannot be distinguished from marker/null heterozygotes. In addition, it is unable to assign bands to specific loci unless a previous pedigree analysis is performed. In applying this method, it is assumed that populations are under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, that polymorphic bands segregate in the Mendelian way, and that marker alleles from different loci do not co-migrate to the same position in the gel (D'Amato and Corach, 1996).
The potential use of RAPD in genetic mapping and population genetics has been widely documented for a large variety of organisms, including fish (Postlethwait et al., 1994; Foo et al., 1995; Bielawski and Pumo, 1997; Caccone et al., 1997; Dergam et al., 1998; Nadig et al., 1998; Liu et al., 1999).
In order to assess the genetic variation of P. marggravii in the area of influence of the Três Marias dam on the São Francisco river, RAPD reactions were performed on samples from three collection sites. The results promise to be useful for the fishery management, aquaculture and stock conservation of this species.
Material and Methods
Sampling sites
Adult individuals of Prochilodus marggravii were caught in November 1996, January 1997 and March 1997 at three sampling sites along the São Francisco river (Três Marias region). The first site (region A) comprises the proximate area below the dam (with inhospitable conditions caused by the dam's construction). The second location lies between an area approximately 10 km below the dam (Cascalheira) and the confluence of the Abaeté and São Francisco rivers (region B). The third area (region C) consists of a stretch of about 20 km below this confluence in the São Francisco river (Figure 1). Fifty-six individuals of P. marggravii were analyzed: 19 from region A, 20 from region B and 17 from region C.
DNA extraction, PCR and electrophoresis
Genomic DNA from liver tissue was sampled. Standard proteinase-K digestion was followed by phenol:chloroform extraction (Sambrook et al., 1989). A set of 10 decamer oligonucleotides (Operon Technologies) was used in this study as single primers in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) (Table 1). The amplification conditions, slightly modified, were based on Williams et al. (1990), and several tests were carried out to verify the best amplification conditions (DNA and MgCl2 concentrations). PCR was performed in 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris pH 8.3, 2 mM MgCl2, 100 mM each of dNTPs (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), 5 pmol of 10-base primer, 0.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech), and 25 ng of genomic DNA in a final volume of 25 mL. Amplifications were made in an MJ Research thermal cycler, model PT100, programmed for an initial denaturation step, 4 min at 94 °C, followed by 45 cycles of 1 min at 94 °C, 1 min at 36 °C, and 2 min at 72 °C. The program was concluded with an additional 3 min at 72 °C step before cooling to 4 °C. One negative control (absence of template DNA) was included for each set of amplifications. The reaction products were separated by electrophoresis on a 1.4% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and 8% polyacrylamide gel stained with 0.17% silver nitrate. In each case, electrophoretic runs were standardized for a comparative analysis of the band patterns obtained.
Data analysis
Individual RAPD patterns were compared within and between sampling sites. Only reproducible well-marked amplified fragments were scored. For each genotype, the presence and absence of fragments were recorded as 1 or 0, respectively. A pairwised comparison of banding patterns was evaluated by Jaccard's similarity coefficient (Jaccard, 1901), using the NTSYS-PC analysis software (Rohlf, 1993). Statistical analyses were performed in order to test the significance of similarity coefficients for each primer among the sampling sites, using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test of the Biostat 2.0 software program (Ayres et al., 2000), which compares three or more size independent samples. Dunn's post-test of the Biostat 2.0 software program (Ayres et al., 2000) was also used to identify which sites show significant differences from each other. Fisher's Exact Test was performed using the Biostat 2.0 program (Ayres et al., 2000) to ascertain the existence of significant differences in band frequencies among the collections sites.
Ten primers were tested prior to the analysis, with the amplification products ranging from 300 to 3000 bp. A low variable pattern was observed among P. marggravii individuals when the OPP-4 and OPP-18 primers were used, while the remaining primers produced polymorphic patterns (Table 1). No characteristic and/or diagnostic bands were found for any sampling site. All the primers examined produced reproducible RAPD fragment patterns. Figure 2 shows an amplification pattern obtained with the OPP-12 primer. Four of the 10 tested primers were chosen (OPP-7, OPP-10, OPP-12, OPP-15), based on profile sharpness and on adequate variation levels for statistical tests. A total of 31 loci were analyzed and the results of Fisher's Exact Test revealed five loci with significantly different frequencies among the sampling sites (Table 2).
The similarity coefficients of Jaccard (1901) within and between sampling sites are given in Table 3, which shows that the lowest value of the similarity coefficients within samples was obtained for individuals from region C (0.442), whereas regions A and B presented Jaccard's coefficient values of 0.636 and 0.604, respectively. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed that the mean similarity coefficients of Jaccard for each primer among the sampling sites were statistically significant (KW = 7.538; p = 0.011). Pairwise comparisons (Dunn's Multiple Comparisons test) demonstrated that the differences observed between regions A and B and between B and C were not significant (p > 0.05), but a statistically significant difference was found between regions A and C (p < 0.05), indicating a considerable genetic discrepancy between these regions. Jaccard's coefficient used between sampling sites showed a higher value between A and B (Table 3).
RAPD can be an efficient tool to differentiate geographically and genetically isolated populations, and has been used to verify the existence of locally adapted populations within a species that may have arisen either through genetic selection under different environmental conditions or as a result of genetic drift (Fuchs et al., 1998).
Since homozygotes cannot be distinguished from heterozygotes by the RAPD technique, the absence of amplification of a band in two genotypes does not necessarily represent genetic similarity between them. Jaccard's similarity coefficient, which excludes negative co-occurrences, has been widely employed for statistical analysis of RAPD markers (Duarte et al., 1999). In the present study, our statistical analyses showed considerable genetic variation among individuals of P. marggravii from collection sites A and C.
Populational genetic differentiation can be driven by ecological, evolutionary and historical factors. In Barbus neumayeri, genetic differentiation among sampling sites that presented different oxygen rates could represent the effects of selective pressure (Chapman et al., 1999). The well-developed homing instinct of salmonid fish seems to be a decisive factor leading to strong population subdivisions (Ryman, 1983). An evolutionary unit can be identified for each tributary, with particular genetic traits possibly related to local adaptation and/or to inbreeding. In Oncorhynchus nerka, genetic differences were found between two populations inhabiting regions with distinct environmental conditions (Hendry et al., 2000). Furthermore, some river or lake systems contain metapopulations composed of distinct breeding units (Carvalho, 1993; Hansen and Loeschcke, 1994).
Although further studies are required to confirm the repeatability of the patterns observed, at least three hypotheses can be put forward to explain the possible genetic structure observed in the P. marggravii in the Três Marias region.
First, the fish downstream from the confluence of the Abaeté and São Francisco rivers (region C) comprise a panmictic population (panmictic population model). During the reproduction period, one fraction migrates towards the dam; the higher similarity coefficient observed in individuals downstream from the dam (region A) is the result of genetic drift (Figure 3a).
Second, the findings reported on here possibly reflect the homing behavior of P. marggravii individuals, similarly to wild trout populations (Ryman, 1983). In this case, animals from region C comprise a metapopulation with distinct reproductive populations, which historically complete their migration to different parts of this hydrographic system (Figure 3b). Genetic differences are determined by different evolutionary pathways of breeding populations in each tributary, while the remaining genetic similarities represent the putative genetic pool of a common ancestor stock.
In a third hypothesis only a minor fraction of this metapopulation completes its migration towards the dam (region A) during the reproductive period, while the majority possibly migrate to locations with environmental conditions more favorable for reproduction (structured population model). Individuals from different populations present co-migrational behavior during the reproductive period (Figure 3c).
Competition for greater resources is very common in nature. Considering that the area downstream from the dam lacks the optimal conditions for reproduction, the most vigorous individuals are expected to take over the best habitats, establishing territories and leaving the less favorable habitats for the weaker individuals during fish migration (Krebs and Davies, 1996). Previous studies have demonstrated that specimens collected from region C, which offers more favorable reproductive conditions, are larger than the fish in regions A and B. At its confluence with the São Francisco, the Abaeté river supplies the former with higher water temperature, flow and oxygen rates than the conditions downstream from the dam (Sato et al., 1995). It is well known that hydroelectric dams create new obstacles for the natural dispersion of migrant fish, directly affecting their survival and reproduction by changing thermal and hydrodynamic conditions (Agostinho et al., 1992).
Findings similar to those observed here in P. marggravii have also been reported for other migratory fish species studied in the same area. In Brycon lundii, the presence of a characteristic band in 100% of specimens from regions A and B, albeit in only 27.3% of individuals from region C, also suggested the occurrence of structured populations (Wasko and Galetti, 2002), reinforcing the argument that the model of structured populations is probably the one best suited to illustrate the distribution of P. marggravii in the Três Marias region on the São Francisco river.
These ideas highlight an important aspect of the genetic conservation of this species. The practice of releasing cultured fish into the wild is widespread, but without a careful genetic analysis, it may damage the goals of preservation, leading to the homogenization of populations and decreasing species diversity (Taggart and Ferguson, 1986; Fritzner et al., 2001). Furthermore, it is important to recognize that different scenarios require different measures. Hence, the aim of conservation programs should be to develop an integrated strategy that conserves as much genetic diversity within the species as possible, and ensures the presence of utilizable fish resources (Hansen and Loeschcke, 1994).
The findings reported in this study nevertheless reveal important implications for the fishery management, aquaculture, and stock conservation of P. marggravii in the Três Marias region of the São Francisco river basin. The scenario, however, is not complete and further samplings from additional sites, mainly along large tributaries such as the Abaeté river, taken during different seasons of the year, should be analyzed.

On 7 June, the iconic Sydney Opera House called all angels and experienced drops of Jupiter as Grammy award winner Train were in town to perform their best hits in one of the best live music venue worldwide.
The concert hall was full of people from all ages wearing the iconic California 37 t-shirts. The night started with an opening act courtesy of special guest, American singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson who performed about 40 minutes in front of a very respectful crowd.
After a short break, people went back to their seats as around 9pm lights went off and the California 37 Logo was fully displayed on stage – Train came on stage in such an energetic way opening with Going to California and 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, rocking the whole house down! There was Front man Patrick Monahan, Scott Underwood on the drums and Jimmy Stafford on the lead guitar alongside the new band members and backup singers.
Singer Patrick Monahan has a unique personality and despite his status of world-class musician, he is a very down to earth guy, interacting with everyone in every song, taking photos with fans while signing autographs throughout his performance, not losing his pitch at all…just totally amazing!. Monahan even joked about his voice, saying he wanna sing without microphone because he is in the best venue in the world but as he was about to do it, somebody from the crowd screamed something which made him laugh: "How can that guy have better voice than me…haha…I`ve always had the experience of bringing people on stage to sing something with me and they are very confident to do it after 4 drinks, until they jump here and freak out ha ha ha"
Monahan continued surprising fans, asking a few people to go on stage, including 2 kids to play with him. The seats were no longer individual spots as many fans jumped in front and went near the stage while others stood on their seats for the rest of the show.
The band continued their list of hits, including Ordinary, You Can Finally Meet My Mom, Calling All Angels, Save Me, San Francisco and Mermaid, just to name a few. They also had a very special guest, Australian singer and The Voice judge Delta Goodrem who went on stage to perform Bruises with the band, making the crowd go wild.
Following Delta's performance Patrick Monahan joked with the crowd saying "we should do that at the end…because nothing can beat that…hold on unless…ladies and gentleman Nicole Kidman!…ha ha ha" (Obviously Nicole was not there).
Train continued their performance with Marry Me, even doing a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On to see all the rockers leaping, a perfect moment for a little break for Patrick and most of the band, as a courtesy of Scott Underwood who did a very energetic drum solo.
Delta came back on stage one more time to sing Drive By, leaving the stage ready for Train to perform California 37, as Pat Monahan said that Train don't do encores as they don't like to keep fans waiting and clapping for them to come back.
Obviously, Drops of Jupiter is a must and the band did it with the Sydney crowd as their back-up singers in a very magical moment towards the end of the night, while Train had one more song up their sleeves, Sing Together to close this magnificent event at one of the best music venues in the world.
Here, enjoy some postcards of the venue below:

Reblogged from thesurvivalplaceblog:
Harry Reid said on Tuesday he hopes have a bill to address gun violence on the Senate floor soon after the Easter break. He also confirmed that measure will not include an assault weapons ban.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told reporters Tuesday she is disappointed that her assault weapons ban will not be part of a larger bill, but acknowledged it will likely make it easier to pass gun-related legislation through the Senate.

Two road-construction projects near Tacoma's new LeMay-America's Car Museum likely will complicate matters for people heading to the museum's grand-opening festivities Saturday.
Exit 133 from north-bound Interstate 5, the normal route to the city center from the south, is closed for renovation, and some surface streets immediately north of the museum are closed for construction of a Sounder commuter rail line.
Museum officials say they're expecting more than 10,000 people at the grand opening, which begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.
To get around the freeway construction, visitors from the south are advised to take Exit 132, the previous northbound exit.
Stay in the right lane of the exit, and instead of going onto state Route 16, drive straight and join the collector/distributor that leads to Interstate 705 and the city center. Make a right turn on 26th Street and follow signs for parking.
Southbound visitors should take I-5 south to Exit 133 for I-705 and the city center. Turn right onto 26th Street and follow signs for parking from there.
Parking near the new museum also will be challenging.
Museum officials are encouraging visitors to avoid the area closest to the Tacoma Dome and to park elsewhere in downtown Tacoma and ride the Link light rail from there.

Hey Anna at Union Hall
Hey Anna
Union Hall
New York, NY
January 19
The East Coast based band, Hey Anna, played Union Hall last Thursday along with This Frontier Needs Heroes and Amanda Jo Williams. The group came on an hour late but it was well worth it when the quintet immediately exploded into a catchy indie number fronted by Erin Rauch-Sasseen against a background of red lights. Hey Anna's three sisters (Erin, Katie and Anna Rauch-Sesseen) took turns on bass, keys, guitar and vocals, and displayed similar pin-straight brunette hairstyles with understated outfits. The two male members brought the sound together with Bryan Tobin holding down the beat on the drums and Andrew Smolin keeping the music fresh with skillful guitar solos.
Erin's lullaby whispers were reminiscent of Feist and the vocal experimentation of all three girls was akin to Regina Spektor. The crowd was sparse, but it was to the band's benefit as this allowed for an intimate setting to engage in the music and bounce along to the catchy melodies. The sisters switched off on lead vocals, with the remaining two providing back up vocals and flawless harmonies. Although all three girls had beautiful voices, it was Erin Rauch-Sasseen who stood out the most with a voice not only practiced in precision, but with a tonal quality that ranged from a whisper to a high-pitched wail.
Andrew's guitar complemented the music well, but at times Bryan kept the beat too fast and the music became discordant. At times the melodies incorporated a reggae/island quality, which was pleasant but out of place for a wintery Thursday night in a basement lounge. The fourth song of the night, "Super Glue" was a sweet lullaby with cutesy lyrics like "You don't need any superglue/ to keep my lips on you." For the next song, Andrew took to the microphone for a turn at the lead vocal and performed surprisingly well. The banter between songs was fun and easy and the band quickly won over the audience.
The second to last song amped up the group's energy and the girls began clapping to the music and the audience joined in. The final offering started off slow but had a wonderful build up that ended the performance on a high note. The bands that followed couldn't keep up the energy, charm, or foot-tapping quality of Hey Anna and the crowd dwindled even more.
The brother/sister duo, This Frontier Needs Heroes shared the familial appeal of the first group, but their banter strayed from playful to nagging. The Lead singer/guitarist/harmonica player went into a tirade about politics that made the room uncomfortable and the songs seemed incomplete. Amanda Jo Williams followed with tight instrumentals but maddening vocals sounding similar to a crying child. Hey Anna stood out above all and it wouldn't be surprising to see them move on to bigger and better gigs.

brands under fire
Posted by Abe Sauer on March 26, 2013 12:19 PM
One year after the Moscow show that landed Russian punk band Pussy Riot prison time (and global fame), a German lingerie brand is using the anniversary to sell racy undergarments. Crass commercialism? Of course. But that's not the problem. The problem is backfire. Backfire is what another lingerie brand, Victoria's Secret, also faces with its latest marketing push.The brand, Blush, debuted a not-so-safe for work video on YouTube, saying, "On the first anniversary of the Pussy Riot concert in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Berlin based Lingerie label blush supports the free pussy riot movement with a sexy protest march through icy Moscow (-15° C). Support Freepussyriot.org!"Continue reading...

The world's financial situation isn't exactly peachy keen just yet, but the global population appears to be up for traveling. Both luxury and budget brand hotels are popping up across the world.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which came in at the top of its category in the recent 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend, "expects to have enough cash in the next three years to add another global luxury brand bringing their total to ten."
Mitzi Gaskins, VP/global brand manager for JW Marriott, noted that the "luxury space is growing a lot" and is "anticipating 50 percent growth over the next four to five years with 79 JW hotels up and running by 2015." Less than half of the 30 or more hotels that the brand has in the pipeline are in the United States. Gaskins told Fortune that the luxury markets that are growing fastest are "top tier destinations and gateway cities," noting that the JW brand was opening soon in Cabo, Turks & Caicos, Macao and Hanoi, and had "just launched" in Venice.Continue reading...

As criticism raged Tuesday over surprise news that wrestling would be eliminated in the 2020 Summer Games, another Olympic controversy wasn't getting as much attention: How have so many tickets to the upcoming Winter Games already disappeared?
Tickets for the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia went on sale this week, priced from 500 rubles (about $16 USD) for the ice hockey group games and up to 50,000 rubles (over $1,600 USD) for the opening ceremony. The Games in the Black Sea resort city will feature 98 medal events — 12 more than the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
Surely, the Olympics are undoubtedly popular. But some wondered how the majority of a tickets available online could possibly sell out within the first few hours after being made available on Feb. 7.Continue reading...

The relaunching of Vitaminwater in the U.K. relies on the confluence of two big developments: the growth of the Vitaminwater brand in what has become an important new market, and the rise of stevia-based beverages in Europe.
Glaceau is introducing fresh and more nutritionally informative new packaging for Vitaminwater in the U.K. and a new formula including stevia sweetener that cuts calories by 30 and reduces sugar levels by 30 percent. The company also is altering its nutrient blend in some varieties as well, boosting vitamins and minerals.
"Being able to keep the products tasting great, but with fewer calories and introducing" stevia and more nutrients "is a fantastic step," Philippa Classey, a marketing manager for Vitaminwater, said in a Glaceau press release.
Stevia — the super-sweet extract of a bush native to South America — has been slower to penetrate the European beverage market than the U.S. in part because European regulators were slower to approve the low-calorie ingredient. But major beverage makers also including PepsiCo lately have been ramping up their use of the natural sweetener there.Continue reading...

brand revival
Posted by Dale Buss on October 2, 2012 01:14 PM
How low can you go? If you're Carlos Ghosn, you want to build a car cheap enough that Nissan finally can compete in the very lowest-priced segment of auto sales throughout the developing world. So as promised earlier this year, Nissan — up 30 percent on Interbrand's just-released 2012 Best Global Brands report — is moving forward with a plan to delve into the ultra-low-cost car market by offering a model for about $3,000 to $5,000.
And the Nissan-Renault alliance has promised to do so through a revival of the Datsun brand. Nissan plans to offer six Datsun vehicles, beginning in 2014, at a price range lower than all but a handful of smaller car makers in China and India, Ghosn told the Wall Street Journal. A $3,000 Datsun would be about one-third of the price of the currently least expensive Nissan, the $8,000 Tsuru compact.
By not doing so previously, the CEO of Nissan and Renault said that the company has left itself out of about 40 percent of the potential market in countries including India, Indonesia and Russia. "We just see an opportunity," Ghosn explained earlier this year. "Today, in all the markets we are present, there is a level of price below which we cannot compete, we have no offering. The risk is to do nothing."Continue reading...

auto motive
Posted by Dale Buss on August 10, 2012 05:03 PM
The future of the auto industry is made of BRICS, so global manufacturers increasingly are getting serious about making and selling their vehicles all over the developing world.
And some are defining BRICS — as in Brazil, Russia, India, and China, which have been "acronymed" into a sort of representation of promising, emergent national markets — more broadly, to include Africa and Southeast Asian nations.
Frustrated by the slow-growing domestic economy, a strong yen, and a problematic North American market, for example, Toyota has decided to build an engine factory in Brazil to cater to increasing demand in the world's fourth-largest auto market, as noted by Automotive News Europe (and Japan's NHK, above). General Motors and Ford have been players in Brazil for many years, and now increasingly Toyota and Nissan are expanding there.Continue reading...

London 2012
Posted by Mark J. Miller on July 17, 2012 05:25 PM
With less than two weeks to go before the Summer Games kick off, London Olympics organizers have suddenly discovered that they've got a major problem on their hands: Security. And rain. A backlash to the so-called "brand police." And what to do with thousands of tetchy journalists?
Post-Cool Brittania, We Stand on Guard for Thee
After spending years prepping to make the Olympics a shining moment in the city's history that should help make its brand shine, London is hurting for security help. Nick Buckles, the head of the firm that is providing what security will exist, G4S, admits that the whole thing has been a "humiliating shambles," according to the Guardian. Even so, London city officials are hoping that somehow they can turn things around quickly in hopes of rescuing the city's brand.Continue reading...

(Editor's note: The following has been updated with comment from Ikea.)
About 80 percent of furniture maker Ikea's revenue comes from its stores in Europe — not the idea place you want to depend on your cash flow these days as the continent's collective economy struggles to stay above water.
So Ikea is keeping itself busy expanding into – where else? – Asia, where it made $31.4 billion in its last fiscal year, which ended Aug. 31. Ikea had been opening one store a year in China but has now upgraded that to three, according to Bloomberg. And it is waiting to see what happens with legislation in India in hopes of entering that country's retail space as well.
"Cautiously we are adding new markets," Ikea CEO Mikael Ohlsson told Bloomberg. "We have big interest in opening in India. When the conditions are ripe in India we can start to prepare for an opening there."Continue reading...

Discovery Launches! February 24, 2011
Posted by Lofty Ambitions in Space Exploration.Tags: Space Shuttle
Moments ago, Space Shuttle Discovery launched for its last mission. We were not there to witness the launch in person. We watched on NASA-TV. The shuttle has now traveled far enough that it cannot return to KSC, should something go awry. "All systems are continuing to operate as expected." Good luck to Discovery's crew.

OCC Releases NPR for Appraisals for Higher-Risk Mortgage Loans
Oct. 16 - The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and the National Credit Union Administration issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking on Aug. 15, 2012. The proposal would implement new appraisal requirements for higher-risk mortgage loans under the Truth in Lending Act. These requirements were imposed by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
The proposal implements new Truth in Lending Act requirements, which prohibit a creditor from extending credit in the form of a higher-risk mortgage loan to any consumer without first:
- Obtaining a written appraisal performed by a certified or licensed appraiser who conducts a physical property visit of the interior of the property.
- Obtaining a second appraisal from a different certified or licensed appraiser if the purpose of the higher-risk mortgage loan is to finance the acquisition of a property from a seller within 180 days of the acquisition of that property by that seller at a price that was lower than the current price of the property. The second appraisal must include an analysis of the difference in acquisition prices, changes in market conditions, and any improvements made to the property between the date of the previous acquisition and the current acquisition.
- Providing the applicant, at the time of the initial mortgage application, with a statement that the appraisal prepared for the mortgage is for the sole use of the creditor and that the applicant may choose to have a separate appraisal conducted by an appraiser of the applicants choosing at the applicants expense.
- Providing the applicant with one copy of each appraisal conducted in accordance with these requirements without charge, at least three days prior to the transaction closing date.
A higher-risk mortgage loan is a residential mortgage loan secured by a consumers principal dwelling with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the average prime offer rate for a comparable transaction as of the date the interest rate for the mortgage is set:
- By 1.5 or more percentage points, for a first-lien residential mortgage loan with an original principal obligation amount that does not exceed the conforming loan amount in effect as of the date the interest rate is set.
- By 2.5 or more percentage points, in the case of a first-lien residential mortgage loan having an original principal obligation amount that exceeds the conforming loan amount in effect as of the date the interest rate is set.
- By 3.5 or more percentage points for a subordinate lien residential mortgage loan.
Several exclusions from the definition of higher-risk mortgage are explained in the proposed rule. The proposed rule would implement the requirements of the statute. It would apply to national banks, federal savings associations, and their respective subsidiaries that originate higher-risk mortgage loans. The notice of the proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on Sept. 5, 2012, at 77 Fed. Reg. 54722. Comments are due by Oct. 15, 2012.

Reader Submission!
Hey! I wanted to show you a photo of how my hair is looking these days. There you go! That's with no (professional) hair cut in 5 months. I have trimmed my bangs and the back twice now with your help. That's so awesome for me! I absolutely love how the asymmetry keeps it looking soft and feminine. Who knew a badass hair cut like the "dragon tattoo cut" could grow out to be so perfectly girly? This is the first time I've grown it out in about three years. I always thought I couldn't have long hair because it was too dry and unmanageable but now that I am ShamPHree-ing and not using heat tools or hair products I'm realizing my hair actually kinda rules ;] I was just holding it back (and frankly torturing it) before.
I've been debating finding a new stylist because the back of my hair is being awkward and I want to try funky bangs but I'm starting to think that I need to just trust my hair (the back especially) to grow out and be itself and be beautiful and maybe soon I'll trust myself enough to try some crazy new DIY bangs. Thanks again for the help and confidence!
Erika, we think you look smashing!
