NFL to touchdown in Ireland with Pittsburgh Steelers?
Is American football about to touchdown in Dublin?
The NFL is looking at the possibility of staging a second regular season game overseas, following the success of matches held in London.
Since 2005, the NFL has played a regular season game - a competitive mid-season match rather than a friendly or pre-season game - at Wembley Stadium in London, in front of enthusiastic crowds of around 80,000 each time.
It's an experiment set to continue in October, when the New England Patriots will face the St Louis Rams.
The success and appeal of this 'exported' fixture means that other cities now clamour to host a game, and with the NFL now considering a second fixture overseas, Dublin is emerging as a prime candidate.
Dublin has the stadium, Croke Park, the home of Gaelic games, which has an 82,500 capacity.
It also has an ideal advocate in the form of the US ambassador to Dublin.
Dan Rooney is also the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and is steeped in the history of the sport.
He describes himself as "the last man standing", pointing out that among the 32 families of team owners within the NFL, he is the one who goes right back to the very beginning of the Steelers' existence.
He was aged just one when his father, Art, started the Pittsburgh franchise in 1933.
He grew up among the legends of the game, and freely mentions the likes of George Halas, legendary owner of the Chicago Bears, and Vince Lombardi, the iconic coach of the Green Bay Packers in conversation at the US embassy in Dublin.
The Rooney family also proudly trace their roots back to Newry, County Down.
It's hard to think of a stronger candidate to lobby for bringing a regular season NFL game to Ireland.
"I think it'd be terrific," he says.
"We came over before back in 1997 and played a pre-season game.
Irish heritage
"But now, with the regular season games in London at Wembley proving so successful, and tickets selling out almost as soon as they're put on sale, I would think it would be good to play a game here, at Croke Park, as the interest in the sport is so strong."
A canny diplomat within the sport, Rooney says he has already lobbied Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, playing hard on the fact that Goodell's family heritage also happens to be Irish.
"We've talked about it," he grins.
"This year, with the Olympics in London, it just wouldn't be the year to do it.
"But I think sometime very soon it will happen and I think the commissioner is interested in working something out and, sure, I'd like to see the Steelers involved."
But Mr Rooney and his family represent just one voice among 32 owners of the league's teams.
Any move to bring a game to Dublin will need the consensus of all the owners.
This year, the NFL came to see Croke Park and discuss its suitability as a potential venue.
As Mark Waller, chief marketing officer for the NFL, explains, staging a game outside the United States is a formidable exercise for NFL teams.
He says there are a lot of boxes to tick before a venue is even deemed a feasible choice as host.
"When we bring a team over - we are bringing over at least 150 personnel - that's for each team.
"That's a massive infrastructural move and, I want to stress, with these overseas games it's also in the middle of our season. So, the logistics and planning side are key to the decision."
So, does Croke Park meet the league's criteria?
"We need stadiums that have availability in the middle of our season and the soccer season," says Mr Waller.
"We also need them to be large, able to take the levels of hospitality and corporate entertainment that we generate.
"We looked long and hard before we came to play regular season games at Wembley. Now we're looking seriously at playing two games internationally and, as we do that, Ireland and this venue in particular are very attractive to us."
If the NFL needed any proof of the passion for their sport in Ireland, a college football game between Notre Dame and Navy is being held in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium in September and is already a sell-out.
As ambassador Rooney tells us and will no doubt continue to tell his colleagues around the NFL, Ireland is more than ready to welcome America's Game.

Revival, Vol. 1: You're Among Friends
7:00 pm 7 May 2014
In a small town of Wisconsin in the middle of nowhere the dead people started coming back - not as zombies, but as seemingly normal people. Obviously this creates a nationwide problem: the town is quarantined until the medics are sure the phenomenon is not contagious, the researchers rush in to study it, the pilgrims from all over the world try to enter the town for different reasons. The moment everything calmed down somewhat, things started to get weird - weird to the point where people who flatly refuse to stay dead seem like a perfectly simple and logical occurrence. Now there is a meddling ghost, fanatics, celebrity stalkers, a murderer, an maniacal exorcist, a crazy old lady with homicidal and suicidal tendencies who keeps coming back to life - just to name a few. There is just one person who can stop all of these: Officer Dana Cypress; the rest of the town's small police force is busy blockading the quarantine area.
It really boggled my mind how many seemingly unrelated plot-lines can be crammed into less than 130 pages. Because of this, the overall plot appears to be chaotic with frequent jumps between different people and places. It is also fast-moving which allowed me to overlook its chaotic nature. I also forgot to keep track of time while reading the book, which means I did not get enough sleep before coming to work. I would be interested to see how the story will continue as well as more character development.
The final rating is
4.5 stars

Matra to Complete Drilling Operations at Inke Concession in Hungary
Matra Petroleum's Hungarian subsidiary has signed a contract with Rotary Drilling of Hungary for the drilling of two exploration wells on the Inke Concession in Hungary. Rotary drilling has confirmed the availability of its rig 42 at the completion of operations at its current location -- this is currently anticipated by mid-May.
The rig will be used to drill Pamuk-1 and Polany-1. These wells are located within the 2007 3-D seismic survey on the north eastern sector of the Concession. Pamuk-1 will be drilled to a depth of 2000m and is expected to take 20 days to drill and log. Polany -1 will be drilled to a depth of 1600m and is expected to take 18 days to drill and log. The total cost of the two well programme is $5 million gross ($2 million net to Matra).
Both prospects exhibit strong Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI's) based on modelling of the 2007 seismic survey.
At the Company's request Senergy conducted an independent review of the two prospects.
In addition Senergy indicated the possibility of an additional 3 stacked targets also identified separately by DHI's that are not included in the above volume estimate.
Chance of Success -- 28%
Both sets of economics assumed successful discovery, appraisal and development with first gas in mid 2009; a notional gas development using estimated capital and operating costs only; a constant gas price of $11/mcf; and an after tax NPV calculated at 10% discount rate.
Peter Hind, Matra's Managing Director said, "The combination of good fiscal terms in Hungary and the proximity to infrastructure means that discoveries of this size can have a significant impact for Matra. The Senergy report confirms our own view of the prospectivity of the Inke Concession."
Matra has a 40% interest in the Mezocsokonya Exploration License and in the Inke Concession.
The information in this release that relates to technical matters has been provided by Senergy Limited and reviewed by Dr Neil Hodgson (BSC, PhD) Matra's Exploration Director, a Petroleum Geologist with more than 20 years experience and who is a Fellow of the Geological Society and a member of the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain (PESGB).
Estimates of Prospective Resources have been made in accordance with Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) definitions.

PDF Version: Two Alberta Perpetuities Stories
Matters Commented On: Bill 8, Justice Statutes Amendment Act and Gottlob Schmidt's donation to the province of Antelope Provincial Park
This post covers two matters. The first is the amendment to the Perpetuities Act, RSA 2000, c. P – 5 enacted as part of Bill 8, the omnibus Justice Statutes Amendment Act which received third reading on December 9th and Royal Assent on December 17th. The second relates to a story carried in the Calgary Herald about Gottlob Schmidt's generous donation to the province of a block of land for parkland purposes.
Section 9 of Bill 8, the Justice Statutes Amendment Act provides that
(2) The following is added after section 22 [of the Perpetuities Act]:
Rule against perpetuities not applicable to qualifying environmental trusts
22.1(1) In this section, "qualifying environmental trust" means a qualifying environmental trust as defined in section 1(2)(g.011) of the Alberta Corporate Tax Act.
(2) The rule against perpetuities does not apply to a qualifying environmental trust created after December 31, 2013.
The definition of a qualifying environmental trust (QET) is complex since it involves reference not only to the Alberta Corporate Tax Act, RSA 2000, c.A-15 but also to the QET provisions of the federal Income Tax Act, RSC 1985 (5th supp.), c 1. The basic idea of a QET is that it is a trust that is established to meet reclamation obligations principally in the natural resources sector. This amendment to Alberta's Perpetuities Act became necessary (or at least desirable) as a result of the National Energy Board's consideration of the need to make provision for the reclamation obligations of operators of federally regulated pipelines.
In its report, Reasons for Decision, Set Aside and Collection Mechanisms: Pipeline Abandonment –Financial Issues, issued in May 2014, the NEB made decisions about the types of financial mechanisms that it would accept to ensure that regulated companies would have adequate funds in place to pay for pipeline abandonment out into the future. While the Board generally supported the use of QETs as a tax efficient mechanism for achieving this goal, it also noted that any such trusts would need to take account of the applicable perpetuities rules of the relevant jurisdiction. This might, for example, involve commitments to re-settle QETs before the expiry of any perpetuity period in a "wait-and-see" jurisdiction, or it might involve some jurisdiction shopping to establish the trust in a jurisdiction like Manitoba that has abolished the rule (although the Board noted (at 32) that a settlor's choice of law would not always be determinative). However, the Board also noted (at 33) that "Enbridge argued that there is the potential that Alberta will abolish the rule against perpetuities. The Board expects that Enbridge is working to achieve this goal in view of its submissions."
In sum, the current amendment is a response to the concerns identified. Hansard for December 1, 2014 (at 217) records that the amendment was sought by the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association on behalf of its members. The amendment is designed to provide greater certainty for those seeking to establish QETs in Alberta to provide for pipeline abandonments costs. It will make Alberta a more attractive jurisdiction for this purpose since the inapplicability of the rule means that the settlor will be able to avoid the complexity associated with the need to re-settle funds before the end of the perpetuity period.
The second story which caught my attention was carried in the Calgary Herald on December 6th, referring to a generous donation of land by Gottlob Schmidt of native grasslands for the creation of Antelope Hill Provincial Park. What caught my attention was the statement in the story that "The donation from Schmidt comes with the requirement that the province 'preserve the land in its natural state for future generations to enjoy.'" Now I don't know how Schmidt actually structured this gift but this language does ring some alarm bells because of changes made to the perpetuity rules in Alberta in 1972 (effective 1973).
As everybody knows, perpetuities reform in Alberta introduced the idea of "wait-and-see" to Alberta's perpetuities rules as a result of which most contingent gifts will be saved: Perpetuities Act, ss. 2- 4. But the perpetuity reformers of that era (see Institute of Law Research and Reform, Report No. 6, Report on the Rule Against Perpetuities, August 1971) also changed the law on the age old distinction between determinable estates and estates subject to a condition subsequent.
In the pre-Act days it would have been easy to advise Mr. Schmidt as to how to structure this transaction to make it stick for the benefit of future generations. The advice would have been to structure the gift as the grant of a fee simple determinable, i.e. "for so long as the land is maintained in its natural state". That would have left Mr. Schmidt and his heirs with a possibility of reverter and in the pre-Act days that possibility of reverter was not subject to the common law rule: Village of Caroline v Roper (1987), 82 AR 72 (QB). But the Act changed all of that.
Section 19 made three changes to the common law rules on the distinction between determinable estates and estates subject to a condition subsequent. First, s.19 says that the distinction between the two is abolished for perpetuities purposes. Hence, both the possibility of reverter and the right of re-entry are subject to the rule. Second, the result of making both interests subject to the rule is that if the contingent event has not come about during the perpetuity period, the right of re-entry or the possibility of reverter is henceforward void, i.e. in this example, the province's title becomes an absolute fee simple shorn of the private law obligation to maintain the property in its natural state. The result of these two changes is that Mr. Schmidt can no longer structure the deal to benefit future generations but can only structure it to achieve this result as a matter of private law for the perpetuity period. And so third, what is the perpetuity period for this purpose? Well the normal rule under the Act is the (statutory) lives in being plus 21 years for non-commercial transactions (see s. 5) or 80 years for commercial transactions (s.18) – but in the case of s.19 the perpetuity reformers recommended a very short period of 40 years.
The Institute's Report argued as follows (at 56):
We assume that the distinction between a determinable fee and a right of entry applies in Alberta though we know of no case on the subject; and indeed there may be doubt whether either type of interest is registerable under the Land Titles Act. In any case we think it advisable to deal with them. Morris and Leach (209-218) think that both types of interest should be treated in the same way. The next question is whether they should both be within the Rule or outside it. Both England (s. 12) and Ontario (s. 15) have brought determinable fees within the Rule. On balance we agree with this policy. The determinable fee, like a right of re-entry creates a cloud on the title and it may remain indefinitely in favour of some one who can be identified only with difficulty.
The Institute gave a similar reason (at 57 – 58) for preferring the shorter period of 40 years as the relevant perpetuity period, namely the difficulty of tracing the person entitled to benefit from the condition or limitation.
The short answer to this may of course be that it is not up to the grantee (the Province in our example) to trace anybody. It is up to an interested grantor (or his or her successors) to take the initiative if the "possibility" comes about. If they are not interested then that is likely the end of the story. In any event, 40 years does seem a very short period when considered in the environmental context of protecting land and biodiversity values for future generations.
We have seen some piecemeal reform of the Perpetuities Act in the last couple of years to respond to concerns of mineral owners (see the new s.19(5)) and my post on the background to this amendment) and now of pipeline companies (and the landowners who will benefit from perpetual QETs). If we are to engage in a more comprehensive review of the perpetuities legislation then it might be appropriate to revisit the policy behind this particular change that was made in 1972 and ask whether we really want to prevent somebody from trying to ensure that land donated for public purposes will continue to be used for those purposes for more than just a 40 period.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) – The University of Mississippi this week will formally inaugurate Jeffrey S. Vitter as the school's 17th chancellor.
The investiture ceremony is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Thursday at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts. It's the centerpiece of a months-long celebration focused on the inauguration's theme: "The Power of Higher Education to Transform Lives, Communities and World."
The Oxford Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/2f85M23 ) the investiture of a university chancellor formally installs the institution's highest-ranking officer, confers upon him the ceremonial accouterments of office, and gives the larger academic and civic communities an opportunity to convene and celebrate their shared values.
Vitter, former University of Kansas provost and executive vice chancellor, was named chancellor at Ole Miss on Oct. 29, 2015. He took office on Jan. 1.

FAMILIES and businesses struggling with rising energy bills could soon save hundreds of dollars a year, as the NSW government announces a comprehensive energy relief package.
The bill proposes increasing all energy rebates by 20 per cent, along with discounts on energy efficient appliances, which the government says could save small businesses up to $1900 a year. Energy rebates for concession cardholders will also be increased by $50 per year to $285 and rebates for other eligible households will rise by $30 per year to $180.
As an example, the government said a household could receive a discount of about $200 for an energy efficient air conditioner to replace an older heater, that will save them about $225 a year on their bill.
A butcher could receive a $400 discount on replacing an old refrigeration system with a new energy efficient cool room which, combined with other measures, could lead to bill savings of up to $1900 per year.
However, Tamworth Business Chamber president Jye Segboer said the savings weren't enough for most businesses to justify such a large capital outlay.
"Cash flow is paramount to the survival of any small business," Mr Segboer said. "If they don't have the funds readily available, they're certainly not going to look at it."
The package also includes penalties for electricity retailers who don't move rebate recipients to a better deal and an end to unnecessary charges such as fees for paper bills.
In August, The Northern Daily Leader's social media was overwhelmed with stories from residents about recent power bills increasing by hundreds of dollars, often more than double previous bills.
"This bill I got a couple days ago read $320, my last bill three month ago was $120 – it's gone up $200," pensioner Kevin Peno wrote on The Leader's Facebook page.
"No more air conditioner for me anymore."
Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson said the package was about giving people "a fair go".

United Kingdom
United Kingdom
Economic Profile
The British economy has recorded a significant upswing since 2013 after a deep recession. However, the economic output per capita has come back to the level before the financial crisis. In 2014, UK's gross domestic product grew by 2.9 percent to stand at 2.490 trillion USD, the 5th highest in the world.
A relatively high proportion of this GDP is generated by services (79 percent), with the financial sector playing a crucial role. Following the sharp economic downturn due to the international financial crisis, the British government sought a sectorially and regionally balanced economy. In this regard, the government strives to strengthen the North of England in particular by attracting industries and research centers to this oft-neglected region.
The manufacturing sector accounts for a share of about 14 percent of GDP. Aeronautics, vehicle manufacturing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals production are important facets of this sector.
Foreign trade also plays a significant role for the British economy. Services occupy a high proportion of the UK's total exports at about 30%. UK has a good international competitive position in high-tech industries such as telecommunications, information technology, and biotechnology, as well as pharmaceutical and chemical industries, vehicle manufacturing, defence industries and electronics. 50 per cent of the country's export goods go to the EU.
Why invest in the United Kingdom?
- UK outranks many of its European counterparts in terms of ease of doing business and is ranked 7th worldwide. The country is also ranked at 19 in easy of starting a business, ahead of major regional economies.
- UK is home to one of the best, if not the best, higher education system in Europe. This allows for a viably skilled workforce to be pumped into the labor market annually. In addition, the UK workforce is ethnically very diverse owing to the waves of immigrants that came to the country in the latter part of the last century.
- The United Kingdom has the lowest corporate tax rate among major European economies, at 23 percent.
- The country also encourages Research and Development and offers attractive tax credits to companies engaged in R & D activities.

Ken Danby
Life Path Number 5
Ken Danby is a male celebrity.
He was born on Wednesday March 6th 1940, in Sault Ste.Marie, Canada,.
The key to Ken's personality is freedom. Ken loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Ken Danby loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Danby likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Ken has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Ken Danby likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Ken is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Ken Danby can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Danby's success. Without these, many of the tasks Ken begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Ken Danby may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Ken's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Ken Danby should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Danby's body will promote security and confidence within him. Ken yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Ken Danby finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Danby will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.

About Ken's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Ken Danby's birth. In that instant, Ken stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Danby's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Ken Danby's life.

UK economy slowed at the turn of the year The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) GDP estimate released today showed growth slowed around the turn of the year, hit by weak industrial production. The GDP slowed to 0.4% in Q4 from Q3 reading of 0.5%. So far, the bearish data has been ignored by the markets, since the slowdown is well-known and priced-in. The focus now is on the QA session at Yellen testimony before congressional committee. GBP/USD Technical Levels The immediate resistance is seen at 1.4513-1.4519 (5-DMA and 23.6% of 1.5930-1.4079 + 38.2% of 1.5230-1.4079), above which the spot could target 1.4546 (Feb 8 high). On the other hand, a break below confluence of support around 1.4450 (hourly 200-MA + hourly 50-MA) would open doors for a drop to 1.44 levels. For more information, read our latest forex news.

I debated whether to just let the day pass unnoticed, however it seemed I should at least acknowledge that today the blog is five years old! On January 31, 2006 I posted for the very first time here on my then new blog, In Spring it is the Dawn. I started very small, and unknown (that hasn't changed all that much). With frequent photos, very short thoughts on the books I was reading (I can't even call them reviews), and very very few comments. Over the years, my posts have gotten longer (not sure about better, although I like to think so), I found a little corner of the internet to call my own, and made some wonderful book friends.
However, life then interfered. Last year was not a good year for me personally and it became harder and harder to keep up with blogging. Between posting sporadically, and failing to comment on even my favourite blogs, I felt like I wasn't really a part of the book blogging world anymore. Several times last year I considered calling it a day. Yet, I could never quite bring myself to officially retire the blog. A good thing I suppose as, so far this year, things are definitely looking up.
I don't have a fancy giveaway to celebrate today, rather I just want to say a very big thank you to everyone who reads my blog. I'm sad at those blog friends that have faded away, no doubt having given up on me over the last year. But I truly treasure those of you who have stuck around despite everything. And I welcome anyone who is new to the blog. I hope you know that you all mean so much to me, and that your support is what encourages me to continue. I'm sure that when I first posted here five years ago, I never imagined I'd still be blogging after all this time. And even though the blog has had its ups and downs, I'm looking forward to sharing with you many more books, and bookish moments in the coming year(s).
Thank you, truly!

My baby girl was as red as a cherry though by the time we left.... she does not do well with the heat. We had alot of fun though and got some much needed exercise in.

tired and ready to go... lol.... shes so red
Lunch: 1/2 grilled turkey and cheese sandwich on double fiber bread..... 1/2 apple.... yoplait light key lime pie yogurt (yum! I splurged and got cups of yogurt instead of the big bulk container lol) - 333
(And I erased my darn photo... grrrrr!)
Snack: Fiber one oats & chocolate bars - 140

I have not tried them yet... I saw the 90 calorie ones but the regular ones had 6 per box instead of 5 and ended up being way cheaper once I added in the coupon I had. Usually the 50 extra calories is not gonna matter that much anyway and I find most of the higher calorie stuff tastes better.
I might try them out eventually though. I think I am going to skip getting the fiber one bars for a while after these are gone. I thought I could handle them being in the house but the temptation to have more than one a day is reeeealy getting strong. These are one of my weak foods that I just dont think I can keep in the house in bulk.

This week In the Hot Seat with Larry LeBlanc: Seth Goldstein, chairman and co-founder, Turntable.fm.
Seth Goldstein creates companies.
One day earlier this year, his partner in several ventures, Billy Chasen told him about an idea for a chat room with avatars and music.
Goldstein's reaction was, "Hey, that's genius."
As a result Turntable.fm was launched by the pair with a single tweet on May 19th, 2011. With little fanfare it hit 140,000 users within the month.
Today, the service is attracting 50,000 unique visitors per day, and is hitting a million songs a day streamed.
Meanwhile, Goldstein has raised $7 million in support of the service from such luminaries as Guy Oseary, Troy Carter, Jimmy Fallon, members of the Roots, former Myspace Music executive Courtney Holt and venture capitalist Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures, who is also a member of Turntable.fm's board.
Just unveiled is an iPhone app that, unlike the web-based version of Turntable.fm—which requires users to be Facebook friends with a turntable user to access the site—is open to all comers. Any Facebook user can access Turntable.fm.
Chasen has said that Turntable.fm was spurred by "the need to bring the social value back to digital music."
Turntable.fm is, in fact, a formidable communal online music service in which users can create or join rooms where music is played. There, they can take turns spinning tracks for one another from one of five DJ spots represented by their avatars.
Rooms are equipped with a chat box, and users can rate the songs they hear, as well as purchase them through iTunes or Amazon's music store or add the songs to the Spotify queue.
Navigating the maze of rooms is simplified by Turntable.fm's integration with Facebook. When users enter the site, they start at a lobby. At the top of a list of rooms are the ones in which their Facebook friends can be found.
Turntable.fm enables listeners to follow other users and receive emails when they start DJing. DJs earn points when listeners approve of their songs.
An entrepreneur and investor, Goldstein has long focused on the business and design of social applications on the internet.
After receiving a B.A. in Dramatic Literature from Columbia University's Columbia College school in 1993, he started Riverbed Media that created interactive projects with contemporary American artists Robert Wilson and William Forsythe.
In 1995, Goldstein founded Sitespecific, which pioneered online advertising solutions for companies like Duracell and Travelocity. It was acquired by CKS Group in 1997.
In 1999, he became an entrepreneur-in-residence at Flatiron Partners, where he built a practice in "pervasive computing," investing in companies Kozmo, Modo and Vindigo.
In 2002, Goldstein created Majestic Research, the first Wall Street research firm to mine primary data for hedge funds to forecast the financial performance of public companies. Majestic Research would be acquired by Investment Technology Group in 2010.
In May 2005, Goldstein handed over the reins of Majestic Research to a new CEO in order to focus on Root Markets with trader Lew Ranieri and the Chicago Board of Trade, creating the first financial exchange for online mortgage leads.
Two years later, he moved in San Francisco, started SocialMedia.com, a leader in online display advertising. SocialMedia was acquired by LivingSocial this year.
In 2010, Goldstein and Chasen launched Stickybits which connects digital media to real-world objects via barcodes. But after it failed to connect with consumers, they switched to Turntable.fm.
Turntable.fm is headquartered in New York, where Chasen, its CEO and co-founder, is.
Living in Marin County, California, Goldstein regularly commutes to New York, and Los Angeles.

Starting any new business is exciting.
It's like having a kid, though it's not nearly as important. But, it's hugely exciting. There's a period where you are planning, and you are plotting; and you have huge ambitions and expectations. Then you put it together, and you launch and the reality seeps in terms of what you have brought to the world, and what people think of it. To a certain extent, like your children, you think that your kids are the cutest things in the whole world. It doesn't mean that everybody else always thinks that.
So, as it relates to Turntable, what's been nice is that everybody else does think it's the cutest kid in the world. We are not bragging about it because other people seem to be so excited about it.
Have you been involved with other music-related ventures?
God no. Why would...the history of music startups is littered with bodies. Going into this is the last thing that we wanted to do—or the last thing that I would want to do as an entrepreneur would be to get into the online music business. Every entrepreneur I have met along the way that has done various forms of music startups, they looked like they came out of World War II or Viet Nam.
It's a dicey time to invest in a music-related service. The music industry is at a crossroads, and there are rights issues. Where's the money for an investor?
I don't think they are looking at investing in music per se because there are huge taxes (costs) in terms of overheads of labels, in the licensing, and everything else associated with it. However, what investors have been trained to do in recent years is (understanding) the value of engagement. You see it with Facebook, right? You see it with Twitter. You see it with these services that have really captivated the attention of the consumer. Since a lot of these companies don't monetize day one, the proxy for monetization is engagement. How long is a consumer staying on a service, and how often are they coming back? Then, in the case of social media, how viral is it? Can the (service) market itself by the virtue of the fact that friends are telling friends about it? So, when you factor in those different perimeters, music is really an important glue that can hold people together in a sustainable kind of media service.
But the revenues generated…
I would say that Pandora has made a number of investors wealthy who had no ulterior motive other than making money. Pandora doesn't have direct licenses. They are not hanging out with the stars. Spotify is doing quite well. It is raising more capital in increasingly high valuations. YouTube is not a music service per se but there's a ton of music that goes through it. I think that there are more startups that have figured out how to incorporate music as a key engagement mechanism.
For Turntable.fm, you have raised $7 million. That doesn't sound like much.
Considering the fact that we only have eight people (as employees) and that our costs are modest, it's plenty. The thing that I have learned, and the people around me have learned, is that the more people you bring on, and the more complicated things get, the more product development slows down. So we are trying to be very mindful of doing as much as we can with as little as possible. We want to make sure that we have a decent runway. As we scale our costs in terms of licensing; in terms of international expansion; in terms of infrastructure build out; those (costs) will increase, and it wouldn't surprise me if we raise more capital down the line.
Was it you who brought in Guy Oseary, Troy Carter, Jimmy Fallon, members of the Roots, and former Myspace Music executive Courtney Holt as investors.
You also brought in Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures, who is now also a member of the company's board.
Billy is in New York, and he has long wanted to work with Fred. They are only a couple of blocks away.
How did you and Billy meet in 2005?
I met him because I came across one of his interactive art pieces on the web that really fascinated me, so I reached out and we built a relationship. It was an online art project that kind of visualized peoples' click streams. I thought it was beautiful, and I tracked him down.
We started spending time together.
We worked on a project called Downfly in 2006 that was a mechanism for people to pass down websites that they liked to their friends. The more time they got passed down, the higher they would rate. It was kind of a new way of surfing the internet.
[Downfly, a Firefox extension, allows users to email webpage links to one or more friends, without having to cut-and-paste the URL in their email message. Downfly can track where those links go, if friends forward them to others.]
Then I decided to move out to California with my wife and my kids, I had wanted to live out in San Francisco for awhile, and my wife (Tina Sharkey) got a job opportunity to run BabyCenter (as its chairman and global president) for Johnson & Johnson. I went to California to start SocialMedia, and Billy and I put things on hold. He went to an incubator called Betaworks, and became the founding engineer. The two of us took our project, and we merged it into Betaworks, which is very, very popular and successful. We are both investors in Betaworks.
Billy built Chartbeat (Chartbeat.com), which is a fantastic product. He was there for a couple of years. Then as I was building out SocialMedia, I brought in an executive, and Billy and I re-connected in 2009, and plotted the concept of Stickybits.
[Chartbeat is a real-time analytics service that enables people to understand emergent behavior in real time and exploit or mitigate it. It is used by some of the most popular sites on the web, including the Onion, Mahalo, Pitchfork, and DailyKos.]
What went wrong with Stickybits?
We didn't have the consumer adoption. It was a little early in the market as far as bardcode scanning.
[Stickybits launched in March, 2010. The Stickybits app allowed users to scan bar codes of purchased products, or develop bar codes of their own, in order to connect physical objects with online content and contests. Basically, the first person that attached to the code was considered the moderator, and could delete anything added afterwards.
Prior to Stickybits, Billy Chasen, who has a Batchelor of Science in computer science from the University of Michigan, co-founded Betaworks, where he created Chartbeat.com, a real-time analytics service, and Firef.ly, a chat service.]
What impressed you about Turntable.fm when Billy brought it to you?
Of course, I've had had a long-standing relationship with him so I know that he's extremely talented and visionary. I am very open to his ideas, and we have been collaborating for awhile. I guess in February, he talked about this idea that he had been sitting on. We talked it through. It seemed promising as a small project. It didn't seem like it would turn out to be the big play that I think we have in front of us now.
Why did you think it would be only a small project?
It seemed very niche. If you described it in a vacuum, it's chat rooms with avatars and music, right? So there's no sense that this is going to be the next great online music platform. It was more about this is more of a novelty. People will think it's kinda cute. But clearly it taps into something so much deeper.
What online models are you following? Obviously, Facebook.
The models are clearly with Facebook and YouTube, Twitter, fourSquare and Instagram consumer services. We are totally committed to the consumer experience. We just grew organically with minimalist advertising.
It started with just a single tweet on May 19th.
There was a single tweet. Basically, that's how it started, and it just grew. It was very much organic, and viral and all of those good ways of marketing a service very authentically. So we weren't talking to the press. We weren't advertising, obviously.
Why has Turntable.fm caught fire so quickly?
One (reason) is that people like to promote their tastes. Not everybody, but certain people. When they start DJing, they like to promote what their tastes are. Their intent is based on their own ego to tweet it, and share it by Facebook. Secondly, the more friends that are on the service, the better it gets. If you are in a small room with five friends, and you are listening to music together, it is an extremely compelling experience.
How many visitors per day?
We have around 50,000 users a day. We are streaming a million songs a day. We cover a lot of people. If you start playing a song on Turntable, and if you Facebook that out to your newsfeed, it will show up in front of 100, 200 or 300 of your friends on Facebook. So we have great coverage that way. It doesn't mean that 60 million people (from Facebook) are using Turntable. Far from it. But we have an audience (at Facebook) that we can go after.
What is the average time for a user on the service?
I don't have a session line. There are people who spend 10 hours a day, but I don't think that is our average. Our challenge is that we need an experience that is both intensive for those who want to spend hours but also something that is more passive for those that really use us as a music service, as a radio service.
There are already complaints of user burnout which you are going to have to address.
Absolutely. People sort of throw themselves into it for a couple of weeks; they lose a ton of productivity; and they just shut it down. So we have the high class problem of how do we turn down the addictiveness, and stretch it out so that we titrate the engagement as opposed to requiring people to interact so intensely.
These are still early days for Turntable.fm. As you build on different features, it will change.
I think so. We are going to be very careful about things like advertising monetization. We are very focused on—first and foremost—respecting the audience that we have; making them feel like we are listening to them; and that we are committed to supporting the kind of experiences that they have had and want to continue to have. At the same time, we want to expand the audience and introduce new people into the service. We have some ideas this Fall for activating college campuses who aren't on the service and who don't read TechCrunch or read Billboard.
The audience remains quite exclusive.
It is small. It is the sort of sophisticated, urbane San Francisco, New York, and L.A. music and technology scene. It's a great place to start. A lot of the key influencers are there. We are fortunate to have as investors some great leaders from the industry—celebrities, record company executives etc.—and we've got great venture capital behind us. We are making solid progress in our conversations with the (music) industry in terms of licensing. That is going well, but (the service) is still niche. We have ambitions to have tens, if not hundreds of millions of users. But that is going to take a fair amount of time, and it will require that we cross the chasm.
An iPhone app is just now available.
It has done exceedingly well.
When will an Android app be available?
We are working on it.
With the emergence of digital, music virtually stopped being a social experience.
It is just an evolution. Music was always social. Then, with digital, it was more convenient, but it could also be much more individualistic.
We put our headphones on to hear music, and we ignore what is around us.
Originally, music was social, whether it was Mozart playing in the chamber of his patrons or concerts or us playing vinyl in our living rooms. It always had a social component. Then digital music arrives, and it is more convenient but that also led to a certain kind of isolation and alienation. You've got this great technology. You've got music you can bring anywhere. It is incredibly convenient. You can download it, etc. But you get these images of people tuning out to their surroundings on a train in Manhattan with listening (to music) with their ear buds in. With Turntable, I think we can make the digital music experience social again.
Turntable.fm is like having a great record and inviting some of your best friends over saying, "You've got to hear this album."
Yeah, I think that's very consistent. The other thing happening in some of these rooms is that there are some great fun games. During Hurricane Irene, there was a hurricane room and people had to play everything from Bob Dylan "Hurricane" to "Here Comes The Rain Again" (the 1984 hit by Eurythmics).
There's been rooms where you share the music you first heard the lyrics to. I was up (on the site) and somebody played A Tribe Called Quest—it was clearly someone younger than me—and I chose between Blondie's "Heart of Glass, and the Rolling Stone's "You Can't Always Get What You Want." I chose the Rolling Stones, and I chatted a bit, about that is what my parents played for me when I was asking for things (as a kid). It created an emotional connection that transcended the music itself.
Facebook is trying to evolve; Turntable.fm will evolve as well in time.
Well, yeah. I think that the most important thing is getting broader market appeal, that people find it and they stay engaged. On the monetization side, there are some really good examples out there like Zynga in terms of virtual goods that have figured out ways of making money that not only don't hinder the consumer experience but actually enhance it.
Can this service get too big? Is that a concern?
It is something that we try to manage with regards to room size. We don't allow more than 200 people in a room. Even 200 is a rather noisy experience. I think that the best experiences are with 20 people; not 20,000 people. So our challenge is, how do we scale to become a truly mass market music service while at the same time maintain the level of intimacy and vulnerability and emotional conversations that happen in these smaller rooms?
You are an expert in advertising on the internet. How will advertising playing a role in monetization of the service?
I don't think that it (monetization) will take the form of ads. I think it will be in the form of sponsorships. I think that brands will have an opportunity to bring great artists into Turntable to sponsor their music, and their DJing to our audiences. It's good for the consumer because the consumer will get access to musicians; and it's good for the brand because it will be associated with that good experience. Then the artist will be able to get paid.
What type of brands?
I'm thinking more like traditional advertisers as how it relates to record companies and the agents and the managers, working with all of them (artists) first and foremost to share some of the best practices that other artists are doing to stay in participating on the platform. The other week Lady Antebellum, through Borman Entertainment, had their new album ("Own the Night") coming on Tuesday (Sept. 13th) morning, so Monday night they were all in a room playing music from the new album to 200 fans. Everybody in the room was giggling and talking about how they couldn't wait the album the next day at Wal-Mart.
You are talking to labels on several levels: the promotion and marketing departments; and the business affairs department for licensing.
Yeah. The business affairs, and the legal conversations preempt a lot of the creative marketing conversations because we really can't go down the path of integration with the labels until we are on solid footing, and until we're all on the same side of the table. The relationship with the industry is very constructive. We definitely want to continue to make our service more interactive, and introduce new features that might require direct licensing. So we want to pursue that, but at the same time we have got the service that we have that is compliant with the DMCA, and can be thought of as an internet radio service.
[Turntable.fm operates under the U.S. Digital Copyright Millennium Act which enables companies to stream music from content libraries without charging for it, but does put some restrictions in place.
Under the DMCA, non-interactive webcasts, and online simulcasts of terrestrial radio can play music without directly negotiating licenses with labels and music publishers.
Instead, they can play music under a statutory license that requires them to pay rights-holders a per-stream royalty through SoundExchange, the sole entity designated to collect royalties operating under the Section 112 and 114 of statutory license.
To be considered non-interactive, a service must satisfy certain requirements, including that listeners not be allowed to pick songs to hear on-demand.
If a service streams records where the customer can choose what is to be heard—which would constitute an interactive or an on-demand transmission—or provides advance play information, the service operator must get permission directly from the sound copyright owner, and negotiate a fee.]
Turntable.fm had to pull down its international service because of licensing issues.
Exactly. DMCA doesn't cover international territories. So it was cut and dry. Frankly, I think that one of the overriding interests on our behalf of securing direct licenses is to have access to international markets.
Turntable.fm has to be international. What are your plans?
I think that it is going to be tied to securing licenses. One of the benefits of building direct relationships with the labels is being able to secure international access which you can accomplish through being a statutory rate.
What has to be in place for Turntable.fm to offer international licensing? Besides needing direct licenses, you would have to have significantly more revenue.
It really depends on how we do it. There's structuring. Without getting too much into it, I think that the labels are aggressive. They believe in the full value of the content that they own, and they want full value for it. That being said, they are reasonable. They don't change their minds. They are not irrational. They just believe that what they own is extremely valuable.
So it is really an economic conversation. In so far that we are succeeding in growing, and they don't want to kill the goose. As they want any kind of promising online music service—they want them to grow and prosper so they can pay more money to them down the line.
Are labels more accepting of new online businesses? Is there a new attitude?
I don't know if it's new. It's an insider industry. So if you work with the right people who have worked with the right people before…it's almost like a family business. I think that it's a lot about trust. They have been taken advantage of in the past. Companies have come in and really tried to fleece them or they have agreed to things, and then regretted it. There's a cautiousness from where they are coming from.
Labels don't want to build another business like they felt they built MTV.
Correct. And they built YouTube.
How did you come to focus on the business and design of social applications when you have a B.A. in Dramatic Literature at Columbia University?
It is a longer conversation, but I was a child actor, and I developed a real interest in directing, which is really all about engaging an audience and different forms of interactivity, onstage. From there, I started developing CD-ROMs with contemporary artists like Robert Wilson and Bill Forsythe. That was through 1993 and 1994. Then the web emerged, and I had good skills producing multi-media.
You started one of first online technology companies, Sitespecific.
I never thought of it as technology per se. I just thought of it as different forms of multimedia, and interactive media. It just led sort of naturally…Sitespecific, as a name, really refers back to avant garde of the '60s and '70s in terms of land art and performance art. That's how I was raised. And I was always curious (about interactive media and technology).
Your father is a technologist.
He's a software engineer. In time, I got more interested, not just in the human interaction, but how do investors work and operate? How do you make money to startup? How do you sell a business? That led me to work with Fred (Wilson) and Flatiron Partners as an entrepreneur-in-residence.
Was being at Flatiron a turning experience in your career?
It was an opportunity to get onto the other side of the table. I had been the entrepreneur that was always looking for capital. Initially I was an entrepreneur-in-residence there. Then I became an investor; and I became the investor looking to give capital. Deciding that was really interesting in terms of understanding the dynamic. It was also a totally bizarre moment, and probably an unique moment in our history in terms of being in internet venture capital in 1999.
[Founded in 1996 by Fred Wilson and Jerry Colonna, Flatiron Partners was the first New York venture-capital firm dedicated exclusively to the Internet. It invests in content, e-commerce, services, and software companies.]
Things were changing in 1999.
It was the tip of the bubble. I was investing all of the way up to the top, and I was watching things explode all the way down to the bottom. It was exciting, and it was one of a kind (experience) and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but it wasn't sustainable. I walked in and made money faster than I could imagine. Then I lost money faster than I could imagine.
Quite a jump going from being an entrepreneur to investor.
I didn't have the patience for being an investor in the end. I was too young. Some people are built to be more patient, and really being able to enable other entrepreneurs. I still had a lot of entrepreneurial energy in me. And, it's very important as an investor not to compete with your entrepreneurs; not to solve things, but to listen to their solutions. If they are wrong, let them make mistakes. I think that being a dad has probably made me a much better and a much more patient investor, and manager. And I am pretty active. I have been active as an angel investor and an investor in early stage venture funds.
An investor has to have patience, but he also has to be able to walk away from a project that is not working, and be prepared to lose an investment.
Yep. You have to be able to take risks.
Majestic Research was developed to mine primary data for hedge funds to forecast the financial performance of public companies.
There was a lot of data out there. Companies can't say anything (about business) except at the end of the quarter, and Wall Street is kind of retracting so hedge funds are blossoming. So you put that all together, and say if you can systematically find and extract data about internet companies and consumers companies across the internet, and turn it into research, and there are more and more hedge funds out there with more and more money, it's just good business.
Markets keep emerging due to the internet.
I am always looking for interesting problems out there. They are going to get bigger and bigger. You want to invest in markets that are going to get bigger, not smaller. So to be able to create solutions now for problems that are going to get bigger, you are by definition adding value.
Will the evolution at Turntable.fm be intentionally gradual so you can maintain, and better grow the service?
Yeah, we have had a lot of conversation about, "How do we stay cool? How do we stay authentic?" We want to grow because in order to build a business, we have to have ultimately millions of engaged users. But if we build too quickly, we are going to alienate the core audience that has been there for us.
Are you a music person yourself?
I think we are all music people.
C'mon, you are really a business person.
I love music. I have never been in the music business. I have never played music. And I am having a great time. Doing this when I am 41, as opposed to when I was 25, I'm not taken by the celebrities, and the personalities that I am meeting. I have met with the head of every label, and with many of the legends out there—both on the talent and the label side. They are great, but they are just like everybody else. In the end, I have to build a business, and return capital to my investors.

When it comes to banana bread, I always hit up the same recipe (this one, in case you're curious). It's loaded with chocolate chips, it's not too sweet, and it's never dry or Wonder Bread-y. But sometimes, I don't want to deal with all of those ingredients. Or, more accurately, I don't want to buy all of those ingredients.
After staring at a bunch of brown-speckled bananas, just dying to be turned into banana bread, I turned to my cupboard and wondered: What if I modded out a cake mix to whip up a batch? I had a plain white cake mix in my pantry, and on the back, I looked at the ingredients. I'd keep the eggs, as the package suggested, but I'd replace the Greek yogurt (or, in other box mixes, water) with three mashed bananas and butter (or, in other box mixes, oil) with peanut butter … just because I love peanut butter, and I wanted to balance out the sweetness of the cake itself.
It's A Cake Mix Miracle!
I expected a decent banana cake, but I was blown away by the results. People raved about this banana bread, saying it was my best batch ever. Little did they know my shortcut.
I used a Foodstirs white cake mix, because that's what was in my pantry. From what I've read online, this should work with Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker mixes too.
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- 1/3 c peanut butter
- 1 1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- As it heats, combine the cake mix, eggs, mashed bananas and peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour into a loaf pan. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top has risen and is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
- Let cool before slicing and serving.

It's also not advisable to visit traditional loan companies because they provides you with an estimate in the limited selection of guaranteed financial loans they need to offer. The easiest method to have an accurate quote would be to complete a complete application giving all of your particulars to some company that may compare 100s of guaranteed financial loans in your account and they can provide an accurate quote.
Another factor to be cautious about when using for any guaranteed loan is personal protection insurance.
