A friend asked us to find good quality Nordic walking sticks which need to fit in a suitcase when travelling and hiking. We did not know what to expect when buying foldable walking sticks from China.
In our search we have found several walking stick options, non- and foldable, cheap and expensive ones. But due to the number of positive reviews and acceptable price this was in our opinion the best option. The sticks were $22 dollar and delivered from their Chinese Warehouse. After two weeks the sticks where delivered and we were surprised!!
If it was not clear, the sticks have a simple Chinese manual included and a complete manual with a small bag for each stick. Afterwards, we found out that these bags were a gift from the supplier.
Did you know that walking sticks can save up to 30% of normal walking energy and improve 15℅ walk speed.
Reaction of our friend: "This is not what I expected from China but I'm more than happy. Especially the foldable system looks very solid and the sticks are lightweights. Beside that the grip is firm and it easily fits in my suitcase. Did I already say I'm satisfied!"

George Clooney better watch his back around Stacy Keibler
George Clooney and his new girlfriend, former wrestler Stacy Keibler, aren't afraid to fight.
It looks like George Clooney's new lady love Stacy Keibler is a knockout in more ways than one. The actor, who has been dating the leggy model and actress for a few months now, says he's worried about getting into a fight because she is both taller and stronger than him.
"She's very tall," Clooney told E! News at the premiere of The Descendants on Wednesday night, when asked about Keibler. "And she can take me two out of three falls. She can kick my a*s."
But Clooney says he doesn't have to worry too much about feeling the wrath of Keibler's temper because she's such a lovely person.
He said: "She's a nice girl. She really is."
It's not too surprising that Keibler can hold her own while sparring with Clooney, as she wrestled for both World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment. She made her fighting debut in 2007, wrestling in a wedding gown at an event called Bash at the Beach. During her time as a wrestler, Keibler earned the nicknames "Super Stacy" and "The Legs of the WWE."
And while Clooney hasn't been one to kiss and tell about his relationships, he is uncharacteristically opening up a lot about his hot girlfriend. The actor went on the record earlier this month to say that he's not bothered about Keibler's Twitter posts about their relationship.
"She can do whatever she wants," Clooney told Rolling Stone of Keibler's tweets. "I rarely tell anybody what they should be doing with their life."
It looks like Keibler might actually be the one to tie Clooney down (perhaps in more ways than one). The actor introduced his girlfriend to his parents at the movie premiere.

Most men do not fancy owning a wallet; why? Because they fear they may be too careless as to drop it off somewhere and forget it or perhaps have it stolen from right under their noses.
Keeping wads of cash in your pocket is even worse because you just might misplace them when trying to take out your phone or any other thing in your pocket.
Wallets are fantastic accessories to have because they keep your money neat and well-organized and also afford you room to keep other things like your credit and debit cards as well as your official cards and ID cards.
Check out these five (5) cool wallets for men;
- Louis Vuitton Coated Canvas Wallet
The Louis Vuitton Coated Canvas wallet is one cool wallet all men should definitely try out. The wallet is characterized by eight roomy card slots with a compartment for notes and an exterior that is painted in neon Karakorum pattern.
- Mulberry Dazzle Camouflage Wallet
The Mulberry dazzle camouflage was inspired by the dazzle camouflage used during the world war. The mulberry dazzle camouflage is a zip-over wallet which is a perfect fit for those who do not carry large cash around.
- Burberry Camouflage Wallet
The Burberry camouflage wallet is an army-camouflaged wallet that depicts class. You could also go for a brown or black Burberry wallet but if you are looking to stand out, try out the camouflage.
- Canali Wallet
The Canali wallet is also one very cool wallet to own. With a little silver steel touch to it, the Canali wallet is definitely one that depicts class.
- Hackett London Wallet
The Hackett London Wallet is the perfect card holder. With various compartments for cards as well as a slot for keeping money, the Hackett London wallet is the ideal choice for a businessman.

Apps and Hacks for Editing On Your Phone
The secret behind the very best pix on Instagram is that they're not exactly "insta."
Most wow-worthy shots have had some work done.
It takes a few edits to transform a good photo into a holy-smokes-wow photo.
Today, we're bringing you a step-by-step look at one such transformation.
Watch one photo go from neat to woah-woah-wow and pick up some editing hacks and app recommendations along the way.
Learn to Edit like An Instagram Master, All On Your Phone!
STEP 1: Start Strong
Editing isn't going to save a lousy photo, but it will turn an okay photo into an "okay, I want to frame that and hang it on the wall" photo.
So, make sure you choose a photo that is not blurry, is composed well (all the right parts are in all the right places) and if it's going on Instagram, it's cropped square.
We chose this guy. ->
STEP 2: Snapseed
Snapseed (for iOS or Android) is by far our favorite app for tweaking a photo to our liking.
Our favorite feature in Snapseed is selective adjust.
Tap any spot on your image (expand or contract it to your liking) then boost or tone down the brightness/contrast/saturation.
You can place up to 8 edit points to fine tune your pic to your heart's content.
You can even save it to your camera roll. Open it again and edit 8 more spots. We could do this all day…
But we won't. Moving on.
STEP 3: VSCOcam
VSCOcam is the filtering app that has won our hearts.
We prefer VSCOcams filters to Instagrams (and others we have tried) because not only does it feature a great range of filters, it let's you adjust the strength of said filters.
In this shot we liked the C1 filter best, but didn't want to go full strength, 12. So we knocked it down to a 6 for a lighter touch.
Much like Snapseed you can save a filtered photo to your camera roll, open the freshly saved version and filter again.
Layer filters on filters on filters… 'till you can filter no more.
STEP 4: Big Lens
We've found that phone photos tend to pick up noise (a yucky speckledy look) in harsh sunlight, that can sometimes be made more obvious in the editing process.
So, the final step of our editing journey is through Big Lens.
Big Lens is designed to blur part of your photo (to mimic a DSLR's depth of field) and it happens to be out favorite noise killer.
Simply select all but the blank sky, or other noise prone points in your photo, and Big Lens will blur any area you leave outta the red.
Do you hear that? Neither do we. No noise.
STEP 5: Post That Pic
You did it! Your photo looks fantastic.
Now, throw that perfectly edited pic onto Instagram and watch the likes roll in.
Head to our Instagram Feed, to like this very photo.
Meet the Man Behind the Curtain
Special thanks to Photojojo's Head Treasure Hunter, Shelby, for giving us a peek at his editing process for this post!
Connect with him on Instagram, he's @shelbtron, to see more wow-worthy pix, ask him questions, finally admit to that crush you've always had on him, etc.

When Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookies gathered Wednesday for a week of off-the-field work before training camp opens July 27, the head of their class was nowhere to be seen.
S Mark Barron, the Bucs first-round draft pick, is not among the rookies who have reported today to One Buc Place for training camp.- Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) July 18, 2012
Barron, the Bucs' only unsigned draft pick, doesn't loom as a threat to miss much time.
His agent, Jimmy Sexton, already knows the parameters of the deal Barron will receive, according to Roy Cummings of The Tampa Tribune. Look for the former Alabama star to sign a four-year contract with a fifth-year option. The base salary ($390,000) and $9 million signing bonus are no mystery. Sexton knows this because last year's seventh overall pick, linebacker Aldon Smith, received a $8.96 million signing bonus from the San Francisco 49ers.
The NFL rookie slotting system has stripped drama from this process (which is great for fans and teams). With Robert Griffin III signing a four-year, $21.1 million contract with the Washington Redskins, unsigned players at the top of the draft -- seven of the top eight remain unsigned -- have a model for how to proceed.
The wiggle room between Barron and the Bucs comes down to sorting out potential offset language and how his signing bonus will be paid out, but we expect to see him in-house before long.

Breezing Through the Whales
Royal Polaris is out on a nature trip, just lately spending some time with the calving gray whales in the lagoons of Baja. Heres skipper Billy Santiagos latest report.
We had a little wind today, but not enough to make a difference. We started early with our first group going to the Mangroves, then the rest went whaling. Today was a good for photo opportunities, with lots of whales put on a great show. Not much of hugging today, and very little kissing, but it was still a great day. After a long day, it was time to leave and head north to Cedros Island. The tide was low, and so was the bar. With very little sea, it was easy going out.
We are now headed to Cedros Island, and our ETA is 0900 hours. With that note we will keep you posted on our daily events.

|Glamorous: Amber Rose, 32, flaunted her famous cleavage in a stunning bronze halter-neck jumpsuit at SXSW in Austin Texas on Sunday
Amber Rose, 32, flaunted her famous cleavage in a stunning bronze halter-neck jumpsuit at SXSW in Austin Texas on Sunday. The busty beauty was at the world renowned festival to promote her collaboration with 3D animated message app Zoobe, which will enable her fans to portray themselves online as an animated version of the star.
Amber was typically bubbly and confident at the launch, giving a speech, flashing huge smiles and documenting the entire occasion through her Snapchat account. Sporting her trademark shaven peroxide 'do, Amber oozed glamour with her thick golden choker and large hoop earrings. A quirky pair of oversized, rimless shades covered her eyes while her lips were given a slick of glossy pink lipstick.
Her heavily inked arms were proudly on display and the bronze tone of her skin perfectly complemented the richness of her outfit. The figure-hugging jumpsuit showed off her enviable curves while she finished the look off with a pair of shimmering golden heels.
Amber, whose nickname is Muva, received a positive reception from the assembled crowd and there were plenty of her fans hanging around, determined to meet the star.

I was tasked with unlocking our 7 company iPhones... All were unlocked from the Orange network within the timescale quoted and contrary to my expectations, the whole process was simple and easy. I had no further involvement other than submitted the IMEI's, they did everything and I simply received an email confirming the unlock for each handset. Will definitely use for all our unlocking requirements.
A trustworthy company who delivered on time. Definitely recommend.
Cheaper and quicker than most others, I thought there must be a catch. How wrong was I!
This site is outstanding. I am very pleased with this site. I will definitely recommend this site to everyone I know.
This is the best unlock service, super fast I would recommend it to everyone.
Spent about a week being told by local shops and Vodafone that I could not get unlocked, I thought I was stuck with an iPhone that I was never going to get unlocked. Found officialappleunlock this morning and within a few days it was unlocked. Seriously impressed and can highly recommend to others.
I purchased an iPhone from a visitor from England but needed it unlocked for Movistar Spain. On just the 2nd day I received the unlock confirmation and it worked 1st time. I was fearful it would not unlock because I was in Spain but I need not have worried. Great service
I had my doubts at first but I needn't have worried, everything was completed as Id hoped and can definitely recommend this company.
A very good overall experience . The service was quick and simple, your online chat was very helpful. Thank you for a great customer service.
Definitely 5 and not a lot left to say other than it was a lot quicker and simpler than expected. Nothing but an A1 experience and one I will receommend without hesitation. Thank you

Five Ways to Float the Cahaba River
Oxbow Trip- Meandering southern rivers occasionally create unique natural lakes known as oxbow lakes. Perry county now has a beautiful park featuring an oxbow that was created by the Cahaba River. This oxbow has gorgeous tupelo and cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss. We should see Prothonatary warblers as well as many other spring migrant bird species. We usually walk out to The Nature Conservancy's "Barton's Beach" too.
Lily Trips- You will see the beautiful Cahaba lilies first hand in their natural setting. These are rigorous outings that require wading and dragging a canoe over shallow rocky shoals. When very low water conditions occur, we alter the trip so we still see the lilies and enjoy the river, but we avoid a difficult hike down the riverbed. These are our most popular outings, so call soon to reserve your canoe.
Day Trips- Day trips are all-day adventures to a seldom seen stretch of the Cahaba River. There will be ample opportunities to stop, explore, and see the sights. Staff will point out wildlife, seine for fish, and discuss the natural history of wildlife and southern rivers when the critters present themselves. It is not unusual for us to spot resident Bald eagles on these trips.
Moonlight Trips- A moonlit evening on the Cahaba is a delightful, unique, and relaxing way to enjoy a flatwater portion of the Cahaba. We usually hear a variety of wildlife, and often see hundreds of glowworms. These outings begin at dusk at the old Highway 280 bridge. We paddle about two hours in the 280 pool and then return to the same place we put in.
Overnight Trip- One of the very best ways to get a feel for the nature of the Cahaba River is to spend a couple of days and a night camping on the river. The first day is much like the Day Trips described above. But instead of crawling out of the river at the end of the day, we find a sand bar, pitch tents, cook a meal, and spend the night by a campfire. Soaking up an entirely different kind of experience on the river is great fun. You must provide your own camping gear and food.

Three American college professors were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics Monday morning for their work on asset pricing.
Eugene Fama and Lars Hansen, both of the University of Chicago, and Robert Shiller of Yale took the top prize for work that "laid the foundation for the current understanding of asset prices," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded the honor, said in a statement.
The work of the three winners was done independently, rather than collaboratively.
The Economics honor is the last of the six annual $1.2 million prizes awarded by various Nobel committees for 2013.
Fama, 74, was honored for his work showing the difficulty of predicting asset prices in the short term; Hansen, 60, won for development of a statistical method for testing asset price movement; and Shiller was cited for his work in showing that stock prices show greater predictability in the long run.
"The Laureates have laid the foundation for the current understanding of asset prices. It relies in part on fluctuations in risk and risk attitudes, and in part on behavioral biases and market frictions," the prize committee noted.

Thinking of moving to Charleston, South Carolina? Here's what you need to know. Many people picture Charleston, South Carolina, as a historic city of cobblestone streets, friendly locals, historic homes and horse-drawn carriages. While all of this is true, Charleston is a lot more than just an homage to the past; it is a swiftly growing city of progress and opportunity.
Who's There?
People joke about the "blue bloods" of Charleston—and, indeed, many families have been in the area for generations—but nowadays, locals range from "Yankee transplants" to hip college students and everything in between. A host of large companies have found a home in Charleston's metropolitan area in recent years, including Boeing, Google and Volvo. As of 2014, the Charleston county population hovered near 400,000. The College of Charleston, one of the nation's oldest public institutions, keeps downtown Charleston humming, along with a bevy of locals and tourists from around the globe.
What's Around?
The "peninsula" is what some people call the city itself, but many refer to the metro area collectively as Charleston, the Low country or the tri-county. Communities to the north of Charleston such as Summerville and North Charleston boost the area's economy by providing a home to larger companies. Meanwhile, the peninsula and surrounding affluent areas, including Mt. Pleasant and the beach communities, are known for an array of independent businesses and unique restaurants. You'll probably want a car in Charleston, unless you happen to live and work downtown. Navigating Interstate 26 can prove challenging, and while CARTA (Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority) offers bus routes, most locals prefer their own automobiles. In recent years, however, bike paths have become more common; local groups such as Charleston Moves are popular among bike activists who want to make their voices heard.
What Do You Do?
Some of the city's most popular events take place in the spring: the Cooper River Bridge Run, Spoleto Festival USA and The BB&T Wine + Food Festival all kick off the season of tourism and warm weather. But Charleston's calendar is stocked year-round with cultural events, festivals and reasons to get the gang together. Locals enjoy outdoor activities such as boating, beaching and hanging out in numerous parks. And the culinary scene, which has recently gained national attention, boasts a wide variety of cuisine from award-winning chefs.

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami Season Finale Review: "Broken Family"Steve Marsi at . Comments
"I don't even know anyone who'd give me their piss anymore." - Scott Disick
Season finales, generally, are supposed to be episodes in which the show goes out with bang, but this one was pretty dull. That's putting it nicely, really. It was very bad.
It's not that it's unwatchable, it's just that it's pointless watching Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, then hand off the Dash store in preparation to head back to California.
For now, things are going so well at the wildly successful store that is never actually open unless they're personally there filming. Wait and see, some HUGE crisis will be staged so the girls have to jet back down eventually and film a third season.
Khloe and Kourtney have taken Miami, and too much of our time.
The point of the whole episode, ostensibly, was to show Kourtney and Scott going through couples counseling. Despite the fact that Kourtney hates therapy, she goes to one of Scott's sessions. She says she wants to support him, but not enable him. Good line, writers.
Kourt speaks privately with the doctor later on about the fine line between the supporting and enabling and breaks down. For someone who is extremely open and runs around practically naked, Kourtney doesn't reveal much of what she truly feels.
Scott seems surprised to see her cry.Kourtney is just used to putting on a face for the cameras. When she and Scott sit down to have a discussion, he constantly interrupts and berates her, sending her further into tears. By the way, it's not easy to cry through that many fake eyelashes.
After everything is packed and Khloe has had her last radio show, Khloe After Dark, the girls are about to leave and Scott comes over to say goodbye. We see Scott shed a few tears and insincerely try and gain forgiveness from Kourtney.
Much to Khloe's happiness, Kourtney tells Scott he needs to get himself together first and she leaves for LA without him. That should last about, oh, seven days or so.
Tune in for the return of the entire Kardashian clan next week!

To make wood floors shine, sweep them daily to prevent grime from scratching the surface, mix a homemade cleaner, mop the floors weekly using the cleaner, and buff the floor to a shine using a towel. You need a broom or dust mop, a spray bottle, a mop, distilled vinegar, vegetable oil and an old towel to complete this project.Continue Reading
Use a broom or dust mop to sweep the floor daily, and remove any dirt or grit from traffic. Install doormats at all entrances to trap dirt before people entering the room track it onto the floor.
Mix equal parts of distilled vinegar and vegetable oil. Apply the cleaner with a household spray bottle. Only mix the amount of cleaner that you plan to use for the day. Otherwise, the solution separates and the oil goes rancid. The vinegar helps to remove dirt and stains from the floor, while the oil conditions the wood to keep it from drying out.
Using freshly mixed cleaner, spray a small amount of cleaner on the floor. Use a clean, dry mop to mop the floor.
Use an old towel to buff the floor and restore the shine. Buff in a circular motion, turning the towel as necessary to remove any excess oil and shine the floor.

Why Kishore Biyani is scared of start-ups
Correction or not, there's very little that's sexy about starting up in India. Especially for first-generation entrepreneurs, against whom much of the Future Group founder's ire is directed
More From Opinion »
Have start-ups in India become too sexy? Yes, in the opinion of Kishore Biyani, the 56-year-old founder and group chief executive of retail giant Future Group. Biyani, speaking on Wednesday at The Economist India Summit in New Delhi, also said he thinks, according to multiple media reports, that 90% of the country's start-ups are not going anywhere. "They are hopeless," he says, according to a PTI report.
To be fair, up until a few months ago, it did feel a lot like a wild party was underway in India's start-up market. A lot of that had to do with the copious amounts of capital sloshing around. Everybody was in the mood to talk up start-ups—investors, entrepreneurs, the media, even the government. The exuberance on all fronts, except maybe for the government, has lately died down with the advent of a correction in the funding market.
But here's the thing. Correction or not, there's very little that's sexy about starting up in India. Especially for first-generation entrepreneurs, against whom much of Biyani's ire is directed. Funds are scarce. There are just about 20 active venture capital firms in the country and less than five venture debt firms. Compliance is still a nightmare and then there are horrors like a tax on capital raised from angel investors. There are middlemen to deal with at every step in any business. And socially, it still remains far from acceptable compared with most other career choices. Even within hip start-up hubs such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Gurgaon and New Delhi.
Yet, every year, more and more people from predominantly middle-class backgrounds take the plunge and start up. Some quit jobs that pay reasonably well. Others start straight out of college. By software industry lobby Nasscom's estimates, there are currently over 5,000 technology start-ups in the country, funded or not by venture capital. More than 90% of such ventures are indeed doomed for failure. Often within a year of starting up. The high failure rate isn't specific to India. It's the standard anywhere in the world where entrepreneurs, usually first generation, have tried to disrupt traditional markets.
What's important to remember, though, is that it takes only the surviving 10% to make all the difference. Let's set aside the e-commerce sector, everybody's favourite whipping boy these days, for the moment. Instead, take the example of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. India's BPO start-ups were born in the shadow of the dotcom bust. Out of the hundreds of BPO companies that started up at the time, 90% failed or wound down operations due to lack of funds. But the less than 10% that survived, among them Daksh eServices (acquired by International Business Machines Corp.), Spectramind (bought by Wipro Ltd) and Customer Asset (acquired by Firstsource), became the foundation for a $25 billion industry, turned India into the world's back-office, and now employs millions of people.
Coming to e-commerce, the poster child of the current start-up wave in the country, there's no doubt that there's been some excess in terms of the capital that has been gobbled up by start-ups in the space. Most of that money has in the past chased valuations rather than profits and many in the start-up ecosystem fear that the irrational exuberance that existed could still prove costly in the long term. It doesn't help that a certain e-commerce company in Bengaluru, that seems to be losing value, on paper, ever too frequently these days, is perceived as being on the verge of collapse.
Yet, despite those drawbacks, the verdict is still out on e-commerce start-ups and the overall well-being of the start-up ecosystem. The correction in the market has ensured that 'tourist entrepreneurs', as one venture capitalist in Mumbai put it half in jest, are being weeded out. As long as the 10% who survive continue to push through, it will be more than enough to prove that start-ups have and will always matter. As for Biyani, Alok Goyal, co-founder of recently minted venture capital firm Stellaris Venture Partners, summed it up best in a tweet on microblogging platform Twitter, "He (Biyani) should be worried about the remaining 10%!"

A quarrel over the name Levitt -- synonymous with residential construction to many -- erupted Wednesday when a South Florida home-building company threatened legal action to keep developer William J. Levitt from using his name in connection with his Poinciana Park housing project in Osceola County. Levitt Corp., corporate successor to the famous Levitt & Sons home- building operation, charged that ''negative publicity and confusion'' surrounding the Poinciana development have tarnished the Boca Raton company's image.
''He's confused the issue about who's building what where,'' said Elliott M. Wiener, president of Levitt Corp. ''People are relating it to our company, and we want to get it straightened out.''

Tomorrow's country concert sold out
A country music concert in Kilcullen tomorrow night is a sellout, writes Brian Byrne.
Arranged to raise funds for the Special Olympics project, the concert features Nashville singer-songwriter team Leona and Ron Williams, along with Tony Kerr, Just Two, and Kilcullen's own Jimmy Aspell.
Organisers Carmel Aspell and Tommy Lawlor are delighted with the response. "We could have sold it twice over, such was the demand," Carmel told the Diary today.

We need to cure chronic "smartest guys in the room" syndrome.
Congress is holding hearings to find out how we got to the point of pushing for a $700 billion-plus bailout that has many people outraged and feeling as if they just got sucker-punched. Some of the tidbits coming out of these hearings absolutely nauseate me. It all reminds me of why our society simply has to stop excusing -- and in good times, idolizing -- selfish losers who display no trace of personal responsibility and accountability.
First of all, while Lehman Brothers' Dick Fuld did express some weak version of being "sorry," that sentiment doesn't seem to complement the rest of his testimony. First, there's the gist of the whining going on: Why didn't we get a bailout, too? Fannie Mae
Then there's the blame game. Fuld blamed rumors, short-sellers, and bad regulations for the company's demise. He left out poor decisions entirely. It's everybody else's fault.
"Special payments" are "special," all right
Check out some scary signs of entitled attitudes, to boot. Apparently, Lehman sought millions in "special payments" for several executives who were leaving -- even as it was pleading for government financial assistance. I don't know why these clowns just don't get that if you're dipping your hand into the public-funds cookie jar, nobody should be leaving with millions in "goodbye" pay.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that some people at Lehman subsidiary Neuberger Berman suggested that executives could take pay cuts to "send a strong message to both employees and investors that top management is not shirking accountability for recent performance." Apparently, the very notion was viewed as absurd. George H. Walker, a member of Lehman's executive committee -- and President Bush's cousin -- was quoted as being "embarrassed" at the notion and said in an email, "Sorry, team. I am not sure what's in the water at" Neuberger Berman.
So, some sense of ethics and fair play means somebody's water's been laced with wacko juice? The implication just blows my mind.
Last but not least, Fuld himself was caught pooh-poohing the idea of conciliatory pay cuts. He said in an email on the topic: "Don't worry -- they are only people who think about their own pockets."
Um, yeah, I guess it takes one to know one, buddy.
Blatant disregard
AIG's CEOs have also taken their turn on the hot seat, with Hank Greenberg blaming subsequent CEOs, and those dudes pointing to mark-to-market accounting rules. Even worse, it came to light that after the government in effect nationalized AIG, executives went on a resort/spa retreat, living it up with spa treatments, banquets, and golf, to the tune of $440,000. I guess when your company just got bailed out by taxpayers, there's simply nothing for it but a pricey massage on the taxpayers' dime. You have got to be kidding me. (Please note that AIG has since clarified and defended the event, saying it was for independent agents, and only included 10 AIG employees, none of which were executives from AIG's headquarters. Still, any such lavish party thrown after the nationalization of a company would inevitably raise eyebrows, not to mention provide a bitter reminder of the high-rolling attitude that has been so prevalent.)
Bill Mann made a good point in his commentary "Sunset for Sociopaths": "Wall Street is full of people who would step over their grandma's body to grab another buck."
Indeed, check the definition of "antisocial personality disorder" from the Mayo Clinic, and peruse some of the symptoms, such as "indifference to the needs of others," as well as a "blatant disregard for what is right and wrong." I think we're seeing plenty of symptoms that could rightly get folded into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Getting over "smartest guys in the room" syndrome
This behavior is exactly what I railed about in my recent article "Trashing Milton Friedman." Our marketplace is screwed if ethics and fairness continue to be considered quaint, out of vogue, or even kind of nutty in business dealings. Fuld's flippant "pocket" comment really fries me, but he was kind of right in one sense: An awful lot of people have let short-term profits lull them into excusing all sorts of behavior. We all need to search within and remember that we are part of this equation, too. Shareholder activism and good corporate governance are ways we can start trying to push back, and we must begin in earnest. Rewarding bad behavior has to stop.
It's difficult to get over the sick feeling and the distinct impression that our culture learned nothing from Enron and WorldCom -- the "smartest guys in the room" syndrome (as coined by the 2005 movie on Enron by that name). Now we face a recession that will probably be extremely painful as we wring out the excesses that have built up in recent years. Maybe this time, we'll focus once again on the difference between honest success and greed, and why humility, personal responsibility, and accountability -- indeed, at times, shame for screwing up -- need to come back into style.

The boys hadn�t beaten the Victory in Melbourne in six years and had never chalked up a win at AAMI Park. However despite having history against them, another great team effort by the Roar secured a 3-0 win which now gives us a seven point gap at the top of the table.
With Berisha still out Brisbane have scored eight goals in two matches, half of which have been netted by Dimitri our new Ace. Next up we have a date with Adelaide, the boys are back at home and need to prep well as this is a real sucker-punch game for our troops.

Cougar Swimming Sweeps Double Dual Meet with Nevada and UC Davis
Nov. 1, 2008
RENO, Nev. - The Washington State University women's swimming team posted a one-two finish in the 400 freestyle relay to come from behind and defeat Nevada 136-126, Saturday. The victory coupled with a 184-78 win over UC Davis gave the Cougars a sweep of the double-dual meet. The win over Nevada was the first for WSU in nine tries on the road against the Wolf Pack.
The Cougars' 'A' relay of Rugile Mileisyte, Talor Whitaker, Sierra Burton and Jessie Craig won the 400 free relay in 3:30.83 and the 'B' combination of Michaela Ahlin, Jennifer Dean, Elyse Peterson and Emma Neely was second in 3:32.48.
The performance capped a bookend day for the WSU relay teams as the Cougars' 'A' team won the 400 medley and the 'B' team was third in the day's opening event. The victorious team consisting of Mileisyte, Peterson, Whitaker and Burton finished in 3:51.49. Afton Pickett, Craig, Ahlin and Neely were third in 3:55.02.
'Our relay teams set the tone in the 400 medley and capped the win with a great performance in the 400 free,' Cougar Head Coach Erica Quam said. 'Our 'B' teams stepped up and beat some 'A' teams. Nevada was a tremendous team today and it was really tough at home. Anytime we can get in a meet where it comes down to last relay is a great experience for us. I am really proud of our performance today.'
Following the opening relay, Rachel Krager gave the Cougars a second place finish in the 1000 freestyle in a time of 10:46.12. Burton (1:53.01) and Mileisyte (57.58) followed with wins in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, respectively.
WSU racked up points with the second place finishes in each event. Peterson swam a 1:04.86 in the 100 breaststroke, Ahlin recorded a 2:05.63 in the 200 fly and Whitaker clocked a 24.51 in the 50 free. In the ninth event of the day, Whitaker (52.32) and Burton (52.73) teamed for a one-two finish in the 100 free to give the Cougars their fourth event win of the meet.
'The 100 free was a big event for us,' Quam said. 'Nevada had a momentum with three-straight event wins and coming out of the 15-minute break, Talor and Sierra's performance was huge.'
Pickett (2:06.63) second in the 200 backstroke, Craig (2:25.87) third in the 200 breaststroke, Michelle McDonald (5:14.61) third in the 500 free, and Ahlin (56.88) second in the 100 fly were WSU's top performers in the next four events. That was followed by Shawna Keller (2:09.24), Pickett (2:10.38) and Kristin Marceau (2:16.96) turning in solid efforts in the 200 individual medley setting the stage for the final relay.
'Michelle stepped up to earn a third in the 500 free and Afton, Shawna and Kristin did a great job of not giving up in the 200 IM at a time in the meet when every point mattered,' Quam said.
Of note in the meet, because of the altitude in Reno, times in the 100 free (-.10 seconds), 200 free (-1.2 seconds) and 1000 free (-11.2 seconds) can be adjusted for consideration among the season's best. The Cougars will take next week off before hosting Northern Arizona, Saturday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m.

Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts was at Chicago City Hall, choosing to skip his team's opener in Pittsburgh. Meetings involvingg cubs officials, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office and 44th Ward Alderman Tom Tunney continue, according to sources. So far, they have not reached a deal- even as Ricketts set Monday as the deadline.
"I did not set the deadline...They did and they're a party to the conversation and I believe when all the parties have something to say, they'll say it," Emanuel said.
Earlier this year, Ricketts said his family was willing to foot the bill for the five-year project if long-standing restrictions on night games and advertising were lifted.
Because of its location in a residential neighborhood, the Cubs are limited to 30 home night games a season and the team can't play night games on Friday or Saturday.
The Cubs areo the only major league team that faces advertising limitations, because of the 99-year-old stadium's status as a historic landmark. It's the oldest ballpark in the majors behind Fenway in Boston.
The Ricketts family wants to remove the restrictions to bring in more revenue to help offset the renovation costs and said an April 1 deal was needed so work could begin by the end of the 2013 season.
The stadium overhaul includes a large increase in restrooms and an expanded concourse. More than 50 million pounds of concrete and steel will be removed.
All of the historical aspects of the field will be retained, including the ivy, center field scoreboard and marquee.
Meanwhile, some have expressed criticism for the delay in reaching a deal. Marc Ganis has worked on dozens of stadium deals around the country. He believes Emanuel plays a key role.
"This is quintessential Chicago and it is among the reasons why Chicago and Illinois have a very poor reputation for bad governance. Everyone believes Mayor Emanuel could step up and say this is the deal, we're getting it through. He's just chosen not to. That's his choice," said Ganis.
And while Cubs officials involved in the negotiations were silent Monday night, Cubs president Theo Epstein said the following before Monday's game in Pittsburg:
"The deal is fundamentally important to get us to the next level as an organization."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The undertaking is a dating service all done over the phone. But enough about that. Carroll is a great talker, as displayed by this interview in The New York Observer. Here are some choice quotes. On a college sex survey she conducted: "I was going to write a book, but I was so overwhelmed with the data. Sixty percent of college kids have tried anal sex. That threw me for such a loop, I couldn't write… I don't know what I expected, BUT MY GOD! Apparently, porn has had a huge influence, so everyone wants to try it, right? By everybody, I mean dudes." On Tawkify's safety features: "One of the reason why so many women signed up is because they're protected. Nobody sees their picture. So creeps and jugheads and assholes are not sending them messages." On how the site will stay small: "I am not going near people like this guy who emailed —are you ready for this? This is what he wants in a woman: 'Not a whore. Not fat. But an intellectual.' [laughs] Now I am not going to match him! I don't care how much money he pays me, he is not going to get a match."

A Million Dollar Christmas
with… "The Killer, Cash and the King "
On December 4th, 1956 an event occurred that was to become music legend. A jam session started at Sam Phillips' Sun Records Recording Studio that featured Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley.
The jam session seems to have happened by pure chance when all of these Sun recording artists dropped by to give Sam Phillips a holiday visit on that same day. When Elvis wandered over to the piano and started playing a seasonal song… the others joined in and the jam session began.
Cowboy Jack Clement was the sound engineer that day and he remembers saying to himself "I think I'd be remiss not to record this" and so he did and the rest is history. After running through a number of songs, Elvis and girlfriend Linda Evans slipped out as Jerry Lee pounded away on the piano. Cash claims in his autobiography that "no one wanted to follow Jerry Lee, not even Elvis." During the session Phillips spotted an opportunity for some publicity and called a local newspaper, the Memphis Press-Scimitar. Bob Johnson, the newspaper's entertainment editor, came over to the studios accompanied by a photographer.
The following day, an article about the session was published in the Memphis Press-Scimitar under the title "Million Dollar Quartet." The article contained the now-famous photograph of Elvis seated at the piano surrounded by Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. The recordings of this event are collector's items and the fame and celebrity of the "Million Dollar Quartet" is very well documented.
The Killer, Cash and the King: The Sun Records Superstars pays tribute to the these legendary Sun Records recording artist's music from that original night as well many other hit songs by Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley that have stood the test of time… 90 minutes of rockabilly, country and pure 1950's rock and roll portrayed by the world's leading tribute artists and played the way it is supposed to be played.
More Information & Video at www.KillerCashKing.info
***Tickets will be mailed up to 10 business days prior to the event***
Please be Advised: There are no refunds or exchanges on tickets.
All patrons over the age of 1 years old must have a ticket in order to enter the auditorium.

Rain for Rent's portable, high performance and cost effective wheel wash systems from MobyDick eliminate jobsite track out and protect public roadways
[Bakersfield, CA – May 1, 2013] – Rain for Rent, a leading provider of temporary liquid handling solutions, has entered into an exclusive partnership with MobyDick, the world's top provider of wheel wash and truck cleaning systems, to address jobsite challenges that can impact neighboring environments and potentially breach EPA regulations.
Dirt and mud tracked out from jobsites onto roadways, particularly in wet conditions, is a threat to public safety and can incur costly cleanup. Rain for Rent's MobyDick Conline Wheel Wash offers a cost-effective and highly portable solution. The Conline drive-through series can efficiently remove dirt, mud and debris from up to 300 trucks daily in numerous settings – from construction projects, quarries and mines to landfills, power plants and environmental remediation sites.
"The Conline Wheel Wash system is easy to install, fully automated and highly adaptable to varying terrain", said Bob Lodi, North American Sales Director, MobyDick. "With its advanced spray technology, optimized truck throughput, and water recycling module, it's a cost-effective alternative to labor-intensive street sweepers and pressure washers."
When jobsite track out involves hazardous materials, it can pose a critical threat to public safety and the environment. A contractor in the eastern U.S. preparing to excavate a site with hazardous material installed a Conline Wheel Wash system to prevent the tracking of any material off the jobsite. With up to 150 daily truck washes for medium soiling in all weather conditions, the tire wash system fully removed any jobsite pollutants and enabled a fast, portable transition to the next jobsite.
"In some cases regulators require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to minimize erosion and run-off of pollutants on a jobsite", said John Paul Lake, Director of Marketing, Rain for Rent. "The Conline Wheel Wash system can be an important component of this plan, and you can also rely on us to solve any other liquid handling problem that arises on your jobsite".
For more information on Conline Wheel Wash systems, visit rainforrent.com or mobydick.com.
About Rain for Rent
Since 1934, Rain for Rent has been setting the standard with industry-leading liquid handling solutions that address the needs of a broad range of industries and applications. With over 60 locations in the U.S. and Canada to provide local support, Rain for Rent delivers proven results through Liquid IngenuityTM, an approach that puts expertise and innovative thinking to work with technology, products and integrated services.

The senior class of Eastwood High School in El Paso, Texas, know how to make graduation -- arguably the most memorable day in a student's career -- a true spectacle.
Grad ceremonies can often be long and boring, but these teens added some excitement to the event that was student, parent and faculty-approved.
The school's principal introduced the graduating class, explaining that in a final show of solidarity and celebration, the senior class of 2012 wanted to show their appreciation to their friends and family in a synchronized celebration, entitled "I Had The Time Of My Life And I Owe It All To You."
The students launched into a flash mob dance to a mash up of Little Richard's "You Make Me Wanna Shout," Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes', "I Had The Time of My Life," the Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited," the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta A Feeling," and other songs.
Kudos to the grads for co-ordinating that many students during such an exciting and busy time for seniors.

Ryan Raymond's Football Career Over
Oct. 18, 2000
PULLMAN, Wash. -- - The football career of Washington State University senior offensive lineman Ryan Raymond has come to an end because of an apparent congenital condition of his spinal canal, Cougar head coach Mike Price announced Wednesday.
Raymond, from Moses Lake, was discovered to have a very narrow spinal canal following an MRI Monday, according to Bill Drake, WSU's head athletic trainer. The MRI had been ordered by the team medical staff after Raymond suffered a stinger last Saturday inWSU's game at Arizona.
'The average person has a spinal canal width of about 13-16 millimeters, but in Ryan's case it is about eight millimeters,' Drake said. 'The decision for Ryan not to play football was made after this information came to light and after discussions with a sports medicine spine specialist.'
The end of Ryan Raymond's football career comes nearly a month after his twin brother Reed, also a starter on the Cougar offensive line, suffered a season-ending knee injury during the California game Sept. 30.
Ryan Raymond started six games last year as a junior and had started the last five games this season. He missed WSU's opener against Stanford after suffering a knee sprain during fall camp, but returned to the starting lineup at Utah.
His brother Reed had started 24 games in his Cougar career, all 11 in 1998, nine last season and the first four this season.
'It would seem these two outstanding young men are having the worst of bad luck right now,' Price said. 'While I feel real bad about Ryan not being able to play any more football, it is very important his health problem was discovered now and for that I am thankful.'
'The one thing I can promise both Ryan and Reed is this staff, this football program and this university will do everything we can to help them and their family in every way possible,' Price added.

RAHWAY—The Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum Association will hold their annual "Ghosts of the Past" Rahway Cemetery Tour over two days, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 3 and 4, from 1-4 p.m. in Rahway Cemetery, St. Georges Avenue in Rahway.
Visitors will walk through the circa 1724 cemetery to meet the "ghosts" of the some of the city's long-ago residents and learn about the history of this city from the stories of the people who lived it.
Tour participants will visit the graves of over 15 past citizens, and through interpreters in period dress, they will hear their real-life stories that helped shaped local, state and national history. Alex Shipley, Rahway's city historian noted that this cemetery holds almost three centuries of the remains of city residents that were famous, interesting or even bizarre.
Shipley explained, "Walking through the cemetery you will find a signer of the Declaration of Independence, multiple veterans of virtually every war, a famous mystery writer, world-famous sculpture, slaves, captains of industry plus the body of a murdered woman who was never identified and her killer never found. There are so many other interesting people it was hard to choose who among them who we would portray. This year we've added some new ones with surprising but long forgotten life stories."
Shipley also noted that next year the museum association will once again focus the tour on the murder mystery of the unknown woman, one of the most popular cemetery tours the museum has ever hosted.
All tours begin at the Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum located on the corner of St. Georges and Westfield Avenues in Rahway, next door to the Rahway Cemetery.
Tickets can be purchased at the museum both days at $10 for adults, $8 for members and seniors, $5 for students and children under 12, and free to children under 5. The cost also includes refreshments and access to all the museum exhibits. All proceeds benefit the continued restoration of the museum buildings and grounds.

From 103 losses in 2016 to the playoffs was a winning ticket for Twins manager Paul Molitor. He was named American League Manager of the Year on Tuesday, edging out Cleveland's Terry Francona and Houston's A.J. Hinch. The award is voted on after the regular season. Molitor finished with 18 of a possible 30 first place votes.
Molitor also earned a 3-year contract extension, an impressive feat when considering his future last November.
Molitor did his best work after the Twins sold assets Brandon Kintzler and Jaime Garcia in late July at the non-waiver trade deadline. The Twins played great in August and September, earning the A.L.'s second wild-card berth.

A timely investment in urban planning
Giving News
By Amy Crossette
Dallas civic leaders Deedie and Rusty Rose have donated $1 million to UT's School of Architecture to fund a professorship and a graduate fellowship in urban planning. Both endowments will focus on reconnecting the planning profession with the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design.
By integrating the strengths of these disciplines, says Fritz Steiner, dean of the School of Architecture, the school can holistically tackle some of the 21st century's greatest planning challenges, including rapid urbanization and population growth, coordination of transportation and land use, and the need to conserve energy and curb the use of greenhouse gases.
"Deedie and Rusty have a long history of community involvement and a tremendous understanding of the issues we face as a society," Steiner says. "These funds will enable us to pursue transformative methods to help change the urban environments in which we live."
Deedie Rose, an alumna of Texas Christian University, is a longtime supporter of the School of Architecture and is a life member of the Architecture Advisory Council. She is honorary co-chair of the school's capital campaign. Her long involvement with the University includes serving as a board member for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and as a founding member of the Fine Arts Council.
Among her many civic contributions in Dallas is her notable leadership with the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. She is a principal of two existing UT architecture endowments, the John William Potter Endowed Fund for the Encouragement of Risk Taking and the Lawrence W. Speck Excellence Fund.
Rusty Rose, a UT graduate in engineering science, is president of Cardinal Investment Company. He was also co-owner and co-managing director of the Texas Rangers baseball team from 1989 to 1998 and is chairman of Drew Industries, Inc.
"It is important to see the beauty in the world around us, while at the same time realizing that as humans, we are responsible for making the world a beautiful — and healthy — place for generations to come," says Deedie Rose. "To renew our world, we must renew our thinking. I'm confident that with our support and the support of others, institutions like the School of Architecture at UT will help lead the way to a more sustainable, livable future."

Kuna School District has filled four administrative positions within the school district for the 16/17 school year. We are excited to welcome Anna Lovelady as an administrator at Kuna High School. Kyle Aurdahl and Lisa Dugan will both be joining the Kuna Middle School as administrators and Alex Jensen will be working part time as an administrator at Crimson Point Elementary. You can learn a little bit more about them below in their mini bio's.
(Left to Right - Lisa Dugan, Kyle Aurdahl, Anna Lovelady, Alex Jensen - Photo credit - Cheri Carr)
ANNA LOVELADY - Born and raised in Melba, Idaho, I never veered too far from home; I have been in the teaching profession since graduating from BSU in 1996. I made the move to Kuna High School in 2008 teaching junior and senior language arts. My husband of 23 years, Patrick, and I also make our home in Kuna with our three daughters. Kuna has been the perfect spot to enjoy a small town atmosphere while still being close to one of my favorite sports - shopping. As part of the Kuna School District, both my family and I have been provided with joy, adventure, and fulfillment. I'm looking forward to pursuing the next phase in my career in education as an administrator at the high school.
KYLE AURDAHL - Hello Kuna Kavemen! My name is Kyle Aurdahl. For the past 10 years I have worked in the Vallivue School District where I taught social studies, served in various committees, supervised summer school, coached 3 different sports, and earned my master's degree in educational leadership. I am a native of the Oregon Coast. I graduated with my undergrad from Brigham Young University-Idaho. I am married to my best friend and we have 5 wonderful children. I am very excited to join the Kuna School District and the Kuna community. I look forward to partnering with you as we work to guide our students in the right direction.
LISA DUGAN - I came to Kuna School District four years ago from Moscow, Idaho. I love the small town feel and vision of the district. I have my Masters in Teaching from Washington State University. I have taught Kindergarten at Silver Trail Elementary. I wanted to move into Administration to have a bigger impact on student growth and achievement, and to support teachers in their professional growth. This May, I graduated from the University of Idaho with my Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. I wanted to stay in the Kuna School district because I like the community of Kuna. Next year, I look forward to working with 8th Grade students and the teachers at Kuna Middle School.
ALEX JENSEN - I recently finished my tenth year in education, six of those years teaching half time High School and halftime Elementary School Physical Education in Kooskia Idaho. The last 4 years of my career have been spent at Kuna High School teaching and coaching Varsity Girls Basketball. The reason I applied and accepted the Dean of Students position at Crimson Point is because I miss being in the elementary setting. Elementary Education is a great place to be, students are excited to be in school and excited to see you. I am so blessed to have such a great opportunity to learn from all of the great teachers and staff at Crimson Point Elementary school.
The Kuna School District inspires each student to become a lifelong learner and a contributing, responsible citizen.
Working together with parents, community resources and educators, each student who graduates from the Kuna School District will have the knowledge and skills necessary to be able to have the future he/she desires.
