One of the great things about developing for the Web is the low barrier to entry. Many tutorials are available online, and you can learn about CSS and HTML from any website just by inspecting its code in any modern Web browser.
Best of all, when it's time to start coding, any plain text editor - even Notepad - can do the job. So why should you spend $49 on WebStorm, a development environment for JavaScript, HTML, and CSS? The answer is that it might turn you into a better developer.
WebStorm's impressive Live Edit feature is new to version 5. With Live Edit, you can look at your page in Google Chrome as you're editing, and any change you make in your code is instantly reflected in Chrome. You don't have to save the page, nor manually refresh it in Chrome - the update process is just seamless, and is simple to set up, requiring just a free Chrome add-on.
Live Edit also works with CSS and JavaScript, and vendor JetBrains put together an impressive video demo showing how the feature can be used to quickly put together a working JavaScript application.
If you come to WebStorm from an editor such as Notepad++ or Vim, you will quickly recognize that WebStorm is not a text editor. Sure, it has a slick text editor component with autocompletion, code folding, and more; but that's only part of the picture. You aren't supposed to pop a CSS file into WebStorm for a quick edit and be done with it: WebStorm is an IDE, and IDEs work with projects. So the first thing WebStorm wants you to do is to import your existing work as a project. If you maintain a live online site, that means downloading your work and creating an offline project.
The next logical step is to put the project under a version control system, as serious developers usually do. WebStorm is well integrated with several version control systems, including the ever-popular Git. Its VCS menu lets you check in revisions, browse the repository, create and apply patches, and more.
WebStorm helps you start new projects in style, too: It features built-in support for Twitter's Bootstrap framework, for HTML5 Boilerplate, and for a number of other frameworks.
When I asked it to start a new project based on Bootstrap, it asked me what version of Bootstrap I want, and then it pulled the framework's official Git repository, unzipped it, and presented me with a project that was ready for me to start working on. In a previous version, I did have to wait a moment before I could browse in the project folder, because WebStorm was busy parsing it. Version 5.0 solved this problem.
WebStorm's Settings dialog consists of a sprawling tree of categories and subcategories, many of which contain built-in trees of their own. It would have been bewildering if not for one great feature: live search. If you need to change something in the way WebStorm indents your code, simply type indent and the tree will narrow to include only categories related to indenting code. Click a category, and its entries will come up dimmed: Only the relevant setting appears at full brightness, so it instantly pops out at you.
Other parts of WebStorm are similarly keyboard-centric. Want to do something but aren't sure how to proceed? Press Ctrl-Shift-A and just start typing (for example, fold if you want to expand a fold using the keyboard). WebStorm will instantly search all of its menu items and settings for the substring you typed, and will let you execute the action that you need directly from that dialog, so there's no need to hunt through menus.
It will even show you associated keyboard shortcuts, so you won't have to use Ctrl-Shift-A the next time (Ctrl-Numpad-+ expands the current code fold). Webstorm's autocompletion support is excellent as well, right down to converting CSS color names to hexadecimal numbers.
WebStorm solves a problem that many Web developers don't know they have - but once you give it a chance, you may never look back. It may even get you started on your first serious project. At £36 for a personal developer license, this app offers excellent value for money. Also, if you contribute to an open-source project, you may qualify for a free license.

About booking Comedians
Hire a comedian, or comedienne, for your next event and bring smiles to the faces of your guests. Be sure to know the content of a prospective comedian's content before you agree to hire a comic, as there are family friendly G-rated (or PG-rated) comedians, and comedians who are R-rated, concentrating more on an adult audience.

If you're serious about booking a comedian for your upcoming event, follow these simple tips. Ask the comedian that you're interested in if you can view video of past performances. This will help you decide if you're a fan of their sense of humor. You should check and see how much room they'll need to perform, and you should also check if they'll need you to provide anything such as audio equipment or props for the show. Lastly, talk about all specifics you want for your event, and make sure they can provide what you want. Most comedians will be able to tailor their show to fit your event perfectly.

Deep in the Red of Texas, Republicans Fight the Blues
AUSTIN, Texas—Soon after Texas Republicans notched another round of lopsided wins last November, the state GOP sent notice to its local chapters: Please stop holding party meetings in country clubs.
Other advice followed. Please consider hosting Republican recruiting tables at naturalization ceremonies. Word spread among state GOP lawmakers to back off on bills targeting illegal immigrants in the legislative session.
In no state is the Republican grip at once so firm, and under such challenge from Democrats, as it is in Texas. And nowhere is that grip of more consequence to the fortunes of the national GOP.
Republicans have won all of Texas' 29 statewide offices since 1994, the longest streak of single-party dominance in the country. Republican Rick Perry is the state's longest-serving governor. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney took Texas in a walk last year, beating Barack Obama by a margin four percentage points wider than Sen. John McCain did in 2008.
But Republicans here are suddenly looking over their shoulder, worried that demographic shifts and a big push by Democrats to capitalize could soon turn the state into the ultimate battleground between the two parties. One of the most important backroom players in President Obama's 2012 campaign has launched a broad effort to pull the state into the Democratic column.
No one questions the enormity of the stakes. If the country's second-largest state turns blue—a possibility Democrats say is at most a decade away—Republicans could find their most viable path to the White House blocked.
Some Republicans scoff at the thought of Texas ever tipping back to the Democrats. Gov. Perry, in a recent interview, dismissed the idea as "a pipe dream" more far-fetched than the University of Texas adopting the colors of archrival Texas A&M.
"We are not despairing. Far from it," said Steve Munisteri, the feisty chairman of the Texas GOP, who is girding for the fight ahead. "But nor are we taking anything for granted." Among other things, Republicans say that many Hispanics are drawn to the party's more-conservative social stands.

Other party leaders are more cautious. "To call the last national election anything but a wake-up call would be remiss," said Carolyn Hodges, president of the Texas Federation of Republican Women, which has 163 chapters and more than 11,000 members. "If we Republicans don't find a way to remake and repackage ourselves, this state could go from being bright red to blue really fast."
As both parties dig in, neither side disputes the basic facts.
Texas is one of just four states—California, New Mexico and Hawaii are the others—where non-Hispanic whites, at 45%, are in the minority. Hispanics, who went heavily Democratic in the 2012 national vote, now represent 38% of the Texas population. By 2016, nearly a million more Hispanics will be eligible to vote in Texas, more than quadruple the number of eligible new Anglo voters, according to several forecasts. Other new residents continue to pour in from an array of traditionally Democratic states, particularly California.
Meanwhile, Texas has some of the country's lowest voter-participation rates, especially among groups that typically skew Democratic, That leads some Democrats to compare the state to a vast oil field that has yet to be tapped. The state has 13.6 million registered voters. But Democrats say there are nearly three million eligible but unregistered Hispanics and African Americans, and at least half that many who are registered but don't vote.
Mr. Romney won Texas by a margin of 1.2 million votes in November.
Republicans' desire to shore up their standing with this growing Hispanic bloc has some in the party scrambling to change their immigration stance.
The state party dramatically changed its official platform last year, eliminating references to mass deportations and calling for a guest-worker program. In January, the Texas Federation of Republican Women went further, voting to support a federal path to citizenship for millions of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
But both of the state's Republican senators, including the party's own top Hispanic lawmaker, Sen. Ted Cruz, oppose opening a route to citizenship for those in the U.S. illegally.
Sensing opportunity, a band of former top Obama campaign operatives have just launched the most ambitious effort to date to loosen the GOP grip. Their goal: Make Texas competitive by the second half of the decade and eventually tip it for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since Jimmy Carter won here in 1976.
Led by former Obama field director Jeremy Bird, the Battleground Texas project plans to marshal much the same manpower and data-mining the Obama campaign used to swing states such as Colorado and Virginia in the past two elections.
Wiry and bespectacled, Mr. Bird likes to describe how the past two Obama campaigns were littered with foot soldiers from Texas laboring in other states. Texas volunteers made more than 400,000 calls into Florida in the final weeks of the 2012 campaign, he said.
"For years you have been giving to the national campaign," he told a packed ballroom of 300 or so Texas Democratic volunteers in San Antonio recently on his first public swing through the state. "Now it's time the national campaign gave back to you."
Mr. Bird and other Democrats say Texas, because its vote has been so one-sided in national elections, has been all but untouched by the precinct-by-precinct arts of modern voter mobilization. "Texans haven't seen a presidential TV ad on anything but cable since Jimmy Carter," said Mr. Bird. "That should tell you something."
Democrats point to a little-noted mobilization drive called the 21 Precinct Project that the Travis County Democratic Party ran in the largely Hispanic and African-American neighborhoods of East Austin.
In the fall of 2010, the party combed through data to identify 23,452 households where residents were registered, and likely to be Democrats, but rarely voted. A team of 41 volunteers and paid staff then spent five weeks calling and visiting those homes, urging them to vote. The project cost a little over $40,000.
The results were startling: a 54% jump in straight-ticket Democratic voting, and a turnout rate nearly 20% higher than the rest of Travis County.
The conclusion, according to county Democratic chairman Andy Brown, who ran the drive: "People respond if you ask for their vote. And in Texas, millions of people have never been asked."
Austin resident Santos Martinez is one recent convert to the voting process. Born in Laredo, Texas, 46 years ago, Mr. Martinez says he "never really paid attention to voting, never really cared about it." A community activist group convinced him to register and cast his first vote last year, which he did, for President Obama and every other Democrat on the ticket.
"Now I tell my son, 'Don't wait like me,' " said Mr. Martinez, who works as a maintenance man. "'When you get the chance, vote.'"
Over lunch at a packed restaurant south of downtown San Antonio, Mayor Julián Castro beams at the Democrats' chances in the years ahead. After giving the keynote address at the Democratic Party convention in September, Mr. Castro dropped into Virginia, Florida and Nevada as a campaign surrogate for President Obama. What he saw stunned him.
"The sheer intensity of the campaigning there, the all-out effort to find and mobilize votes, was unlike anything I have ever seen in Texas," he said.
Mr. Castro contends the Republican room for growth in Texas is minimal. "But we Democrats," he said, "we haven't even begun to pick the low-hanging fruit."
He and his twin brother, Joaquin, now a freshman member of Congress, are themselves barometers of the shift under way in Texas. Few expect Texas to become truly competitive for Democrats by 2014 or even 2016. The dream among liberals is that both Castro brothers would run in 2018: one for governor and the other for the Senate seat now held by Sen. Cruz.
Mayor Castro, at 38, says he has no plans for now to seek higher office, but he agrees with the time frame. "Texas," he said, "will be competitive in six to eight years."
Republican Gov. Perry's pollster, Mike Baselice, has a different view. Hispanic support for Republican statewide candidates, he says, has hovered around 35% for years—higher than the 27% Mr. Romney got nationally last year. If the GOP can sustain that, he argues, its hold on the state should remain firm until early in the next decade.
Still, the party establishment isn't taking things for granted. At Republican headquarters two blocks from the state Capitol, Mr. Munisteri, the Republican chairman, keeps an 8-inch-thick binder on his desk stuffed with polling data on Hispanic attitudes toward his party. The poll, conducted in December, was the first of its kind ever commissioned by the state GOP.
Some of the poll's findings—that Hispanics largely see the GOP as the party of the rich bent on eliminating the social safety net—underscore the Republican challenge.
But Mr. Munisteri hammers on the positive: how 40% of Texas Hispanics call themselves conservatives, and how Mr. Romney in November got more than 35% of the state Hispanic vote last year, in contrast to Mr. Romney's tepid performance nationally.
Other statewide Republican candidates, the poll found, outpaced Mr. Romney by claiming closer to 40% of the Hispanic vote. "If we can maintain levels like that, we can win elections here until I die," Mr. Munisteri said.
Joe Gomez, a 49-year-old businessman and lifelong Republican in San Antonio, is eager to see his party change and diversify, both in its candidates and its voter base. "We need to change the entire image of who a Republican voter is," he said. "If we don't, the party is heading for disaster and will eventually die."
Several groups have sprung up to recruit and fund conservative Hispanic candidates, including one founded in 2010 by George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush. The younger Bush, whose mother was born in Mexico, recently announced plans to run for Texas land commissioner next year, his first foray into elected office.
His group, Hispanic Republicans of Texas, spent around $300,000 on training and supporting local Latino candidates last year, a sum the group expects will more than double going into the 2014 election.
At the same time, the state party began a drive last year to recruit hundreds of new Hispanic GOP party delegates to the party by calling all Hispanic-surnamed residents who voted in the last Republican primary.
David Zapata, the 30-year-old son of Mexican immigrants who runs the party's Latino outreach, said it isn't enough to win voters.
"Voters are great, but we need active participants," he said. "We need new people, new faces, who will be a permanent part of the party."
The GOP's most palpable shift has come on the immigration front. Republican lawmakers introduced over 100 immigration-related bills in the past legislative session, including measures to deny cheaper in-state college tuition to the children of illegal immigrants and to overturn laws in several Texas cities that offered refuge to undocumented workers.
This session, with the filing deadline now past, fewer than five such bills have been put forward.
"Let's just say we are taking a different tone this year," said Republican state Rep. Larry Gonzalez, who represents a district just north of Austin. "We're focusing on things we can control, like jobs, education and water."
Both parties are now rolling out the full martial lexicon as they brace for the fight ahead. Mr. Bird says his Battleground Texas project will spend tens of millions of dollars to wage a statewide Democratic voter mobilization drive that will focus first on the most promising counties and work out from there.
Speaking of the Republicans, Mr. Bird said with a grin: "If I were them, I would be scared."
From GOP headquarters, Mr. Munisteri said he has heard big talk from the Democrats before. "But if they do roll out the big guns, we won't stand by," he said, "All artillery fire will be responded to in kind."

England v Australia, November 17
Lancaster tips Ashton for strong showing
ESPN Staff
November 12, 2012
England boss Stuart Lancaster is expecting a fired up Chris Ashton this week © Getty Images
England head coach Stuart Lancaster is expecting a fired up Chris Ashton to push his claims for a recall for Saturday's clash with Australia at Twickenham.
Ashton was forced to sit out of England's one-sided 54-12 victory over Fiji at the weekend through suspension with his replacement Charlie Sharples handing Lancaster a welcome selection headache with two of the hosts' seven tries.
However, Ashton is widely expected to reclaim his place in the side and be handed the chance to add to his impressive tally of three tries in three games against the Wallabies with Sharples and Ugo Monye set to fight it out for the other wing berth.
"Chris was desperately disappointed to miss this game (against Fiji)," Lancaster said. "He likes scoring tries and, if anything, this will fuel his hunger and desire to get back into the side. It was a tough lesson to learn.
"We all know the quality of Chris Ashton. He has been one of the in-form players, both in the Premiership this season and since I have been involved with England. (Australia) are a top-three side and we recognise the quality of players we will need to beat them."
Following a word of warning from disciplinary chiefs, Ashton has worked on his tackling technique and England management have stressed the need for self-control and discipline with his recent suspension unlikely to count against him. "He has done some work on this with Andy," said Lancaster. "We know his quality, he tracks the ball well and he is a great finisher. We don't ignore what he has done in the past.
"There are selection decisions to be made," added Lancaster. "It's not a nightmare at all, it's a great position to be in."
Sharples was delighted to notch his first Test tries in his third international appearance but does not believe it will be enough to usurp his more experienced rival. "I wasn't expecting one good performance to push 'Ashy' out when he has played exceptionally well for England for the last couple of years," Sharples said.
"My goal was to do the best I could, put a bit of competition on him and also with Ugo Monye for the other wing spot. It was a good game for a wing. Our attack was firing, I got my hands on the ball and scored two tries. I was happy with the way it went."
Lancaster was not getting carried away with his side's victory - well aware of the sterner challenges that await them in the coming weeks in the form of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. "It was a good start but we recognised the quality of the opposition that is coming around the corner. We will have to step up a couple of levels next week," Lancaster said. "We will have to be at our best. We are going to have to be more clinical."

Shelled hemp seeds
In my last post I said I'd give you my homemade hemp milk recipe, so here it is....
The first recipe is for a very rich, creamy milk that could also be used like cream. It's fairly high in calories. The second recipe is a variation of that recipe, with half the calories and fat, but a nice light beverage. I hope you'll give it a try (maybe in one of the extra recipes that follow)-- it's easy and delicious.
Printable Recipe
Yield: 3 cups
This recipe produces a creamy, pleasant-tasting, rich white milk (or a light creme) with very little effort. When you strain it, there is very little residue-- just the green covering on the seeds that was left behind. I add some sweetener and salt so that it tastes more like dairy milk, which naturally contains sugar (milk sugars) and sodium.
This is a raw milk, so it must be used within a few days, and it needs to be shaken before use. You can double the recipe if you can use it up in that time. For a longer-lasting milk, you can make it in a soymilk maker that can be used with grains and seeds, such as the SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P.
(Update March 2015: I understand that this company is no longer in operation. Here are some recent reviews of other soymilk makers.)
3 cups cold boiled or purified water
1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds (sometimes called "hemp nuts")
1 tablespoon light agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment: (scald everything with boiling water to sanitize before using)
1 blender
1 sieve or strainer
1/ 1 qt. pot or bowl that the strainer will fit into
1 square of very fine (90 weight) cheesecloth to line the strainer, with some overhang
OR you can use a "nut milk bag"
1 whisk
1/ 3-4 cup mason jar with a tight lid
Place the strainer or sieve inside of a pot or bowl, so that it rests on the edge and there is enough room underneath it to hold 3 cups liquid with some room to spare.
Place the water and shelled hemp seeds in the blender and blender on high speed for about 2 minutes.
Pour the blended mixture into your strainer set-up. Let it drip for a few minutes, then bring the cloth up and twist it, squeezing and twisting and "milking" the cloth gently until all of the liquid is released.
You should be left with a thin coating of greenish pulp on the inside of the cloth, which you can rinse off.
To the rich hemp milk in the bowl or pot, add the agave nectar and salt and whisk until dissolved.
Pour the rich hemp milk into the jar, cover and refrigerate. The milk will separate in the refrigerator-- just shake the jar well before using.

Lighter Hemp Milk on the Left, and Rich Hemp milk on the Right
Printable Recipe
Yield: 6 cups
This is a pleasant-tasting, light, white milk for drinking and cooking.
For a longer-lasting milk, make the recipe in a soymilk maker that can be used with grains and seeds, such as the SoyQuick Premier Milk Maker 930P. (Update March 2015: I understand that this company is no longer in operation. Here are some recent reviews of other soymilk makers.)
3 cups cold boiled or purified water
1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds (sometimes called "hemp nuts")
3 more cups cold boiled or purified water
2 tablespoons agave nectar (NOTE: Use organic sugar instead of agave if you are using a soy/seed/grain milk maker because the heat will cause acidity in the agave to curdle the hemp milk.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Equipment: (scald everything with boiling water to sanitize before using)
1 blender
1 sieve or strainer
1/ 1 qt. pot or bowl that the strainer will fit into
1 square of very fine (90 weight) cheesecloth to line the strainer, with some overhang
OR you can use a "nut milk bag"
1 whisk
2/ 3-4 cup mason jars with a tight lid, or a 6-cup glass jug with a lid
Place the strainer or sieve inside of a pot or bowl, so that it rests on the edge and there is enough room underneath it to hold 6 cups liquid with some room to spare.
Place the first 3 cups water and shelled hemp seeds in the blender and blend on high speed for about 2 minutes.
Pour the blended mixture into your strainer set-up. Let it drip for a few minutes, then bring the cloth up and twist it, squeezing and twisting and "milking" the cloth gently until all of the liquid is released. You should be left with a thin coating of greenish pulp on the inside of the cloth, which you can rinse off.
To the hemp milk in the bowl or pot, add the second 3 cups of water, the agave nectar and salt,and whisk well. Pour the hemp milk into the jar, cover and refrigerate. The milk will separate in the refrigerator-- just shake the jar well before using.

Your hemp milk looks great Bryanna! I'll have to give it a try this week.
Have you tried using ICJ in the mayo? I'm wondering if it might work.

Hi, Julie! I did try the ICJ (instant clear-jel) in my mayo and thought it would work ot, but it breaks down rather quickly for some reason!

yum!! would this work as an oat milk recipe, too?

Bryanna, the hemp milk looks promising in a low-carb diet. I'm a diabetic, and the low-carb diet normalized my blood sugar with minimal medications and NO insulin.
Agave nectar is still a glycemic trigger for me. What's the carb calculation on the "light" hemp milk without the agave nectar?
Do you know of any other top-quality nondairy milks that are as low or lower than the hemp milk? Thanks!
- Wed Mar 04, 06:19:00 AM PST

Speedwell: Unsweetened, Natural Organic Silk soy milk might be a good choice for a storebought nondairy milk for you.

Wow, it's easy to make hemp milk, easier than making soy milk (without cooking). Thanks for the recipes! I would think that the hemp mayonnaise would turn darker since the hemp oil is dark.
Great job Bryanna!

This stuff is great! I've been making the lighter hemp milk for a month now... even though I make it every weekend, somehow this last time I forgot that it was HALF a teaspoon of salt. Very important. Don't go by faulty memory and use a whole teaspoon. Ugh. Oh well, now I just have to make another batch and blend them.

I used your mayo recipe but instead of hempmilk and oil I used soy milk and canola/soybean combo oil. It came out to be a nice consistency and flavor. After about 5 days it broke down a little and became looser and more soupy than I'd like. I wonder if I should play with the agar/cornstarch mixture. I also used agar flakes rather than powder so I wonder did that make a difference? I would love to try again with hemp!
- Mon May 11, 05:20:00 PM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Angelina-- this is a variation of my recipe in which I use soy milk and olive oil. And, yes, it does break down a bit after about a week. There seems to be no solution to this, expect to make a smaller recipe more often. I use it in a salad dressing if it gets too runny. I don't think altering the amount of cornstarch and agar will help with that problem-- believe me, I have tried more, less, and in between! You don't want it too firm to start with, after all. Someday I'll find out from a food scientist what is going on! It may be the vinegar-- I just don't know at this point. But, I still like it alot, so I'm making half the recipe at a time now.

Hi Bryanna,
Stumbled on your site too! How NICE! Looks like you're a great chef and giving the world healthy options for their food. Wonderful and good for you. Have you used the Blendtec blender with this? I'm wondering if I could just skip the sifting with that blender in place. Besides, I'm thinking that those bits of Hemp are probably good for us. What do you think? I make raw chocolates, see www.puredelights.com and am also a vegan chef! You're doing a great work here!

i made a discovery!
in my latest batch of the lighter hemp milk i added 2 teaspoons of ground flax seeds to the blender and it's helped a great deal with emulsifying the milk so that i don't have to stir it! (i keep it in a covered jug, i don't have a large enough sealed container that i can shake)
the only thing that settles is the excess fine green shell sediment that my strainer can't catch. otherwise the milk doesn't seem to separate visibly!
i came up with the idea after my friend told me about the tastiest peanut butter he found at Trader Joe's in the states. the only ingredients are peanuts and flax seeds, and he was amazed that the peanut butter didn't have to be stirred. my guess was that it was the flax seed gooeyness that did the trick. ;)

That's a great tip, Jocelyn! I'm going to try it soon! Golden flax would work well, I bet. Thanks so much!

I made hemp milk and tried to heat it in both the microwave and with my espresso steamer, and both times it curdled. Any suggestions for heating it?
- Sun Jun 12, 10:38:00 PM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Julia, the acid in the coffee will curdle the hemp milk if it gets too hot. I think both of the methods you used heated the milk too much. As I mentioned in the Hemp latte recipe, heat it gently in a saucepan over low heat and do not let it come anywhere near a boil! Cheers, Bryanna

By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Several luminaries from sports and show business, Oprah Winfrey among them, signaled interest on Wednesday in buying the Los Angeles Clippers as the NBA set a first meeting to weigh removing Donald Sterling as owner over racist remarks attributed to him.
A day after Sterling was banned for life from the National Basketball Association, two of the league's 29 other team owners, including the governing board's chairman, said they expected to reach the three-fourths majority vote needed to expel Sterling fully, a move unprecedented in NBA history.
The advisory finance committee of the board scheduled a meeting on Thursday to review the next steps for forcing a sale of the Clippers, as urged on Tuesday by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, a league spokeswoman said.
Sterling, who bought the Clippers in 1981 for $13 million when the team was based in San Diego, has not indicated whether he would relinquish ownership without a fight. Experts have estimated that the franchise, which moved to Los Angeles in 1984, could now be worth as much as $800 million.
Moreover, some experts said Sterling's fellow owners might be hesitant to support action they felt could set a precedent jeopardizing their own property rights in the future.
Still, the move to expel Sterling from the league altogether fanned speculation about potential buyers.
Winfrey's spokeswoman, Nicole Nichols, said the talk show host turned media mogul was in talks with leading Hollywood executive David Geffen and the chief executive officer of computer technology firm Oracle Corp, Larry Ellison, to bid for the team if were to become available.
Geffen, who started two record labels and co-founded the DreamWorks film studio, has expressed interest in the Clippers in the past but never tendered an offer. Winfrey's holdings already include stakes in a cable network and a magazine.
Geffen, whose net worth has been estimated by Forbes magazine at $6.2 billion, told sports network ESPN on Wednesday that he and Ellison would run the team, while Winfrey would be an investor.
"She thinks it would be a great thing for an important black American to own (another) franchise," Geffen was quoted as saying. "The team deserves a better group of owners who want to win. ... Larry would sooner die than fail. I would sooner die than fail. Larry's a sportsman. We've talked about this for a long time. Between the three of us, we have a good shot."
Other names floated as possible suitors include former NBA Los Angeles Lakers star Earvin "Magic" Johnson, a part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team who once had a stake in the Lakers and has built a media empire catering to African-American consumers.
"If the time is right, my partners at (investment group) Guggenheim and I will sit down to discuss it," he told a financial conference in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. "The fans have spoken they want us to own the team, but we'll just have to wait and see how it works out."
Two of boxing's biggest names, world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and promoter Oscar De La Hoya, have also expressed designs on the team since Tuesday.
"What better face than my face," De La Hoya said on CNN. "I'm stepping up to the plate and I'm letting the world know that I'm obviously interested."
Although Silver said he would seek to force a sale of the Clippers immediately, the process could take weeks.
According to NBA bylaws, Silver must present a written copy of any allegations against Sterling within three days, and Sterling would have five days to answer. A special hearing of the Board of Governors, consisting of all the owners, will be held on a date no more than 10 days after Sterling's reply.
Sterling was stripped of his seat on the board as part of the lifetime ban imposed by Silver for the "deeply offensive and harmful" racial views Sterling was said to have expressed in audio recordings released over the weekend.
Neither Sterling nor his representatives have commented on the tapes, in which a voice said to be his is heard criticizing a female friend for "associating with black people." In it, he asks her not to invite Johnson to Clippers games.
Silver said Tuesday that Sterling has acknowledged to the NBA that the recording was authentic but did not apologize.
News of the recordings drew outrage from players, fans, politicians - including President Barack Obama - and commercial sponsors, several of whom said they were cutting ties with the team, even after the NBA moved to remove Sterling.
The ban imposed on Tuesday prohibits Sterling from any ties with the Clippers organization or the league as a whole and bars him from ever again attending NBA games or practices.
Sterling, the longest-tenured of the NBA's 30 owners, also was excluded from any team business or player personnel decisions and was fined $2.5 million, the league's maximum monetary penalty.
Asked whether Sterling, 80, could end up an absentee owner if the governing board declined to force a team sale, Silver told reporters, "I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him."
Early indications were that the owners would ultimately rally behind Silver.
"We run a color blind league, and this should not be tolerated," Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive told ESPN Radio. "I would be surprised if this was not a unanimous vote."
Glen Taylor, the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and interim chair of the NBA Board of Governors, said the ideal course of action would be if Sterling just agreed to a sale.
"The problems would occur if he decides that he doesn't want to sell the team and we think that it should be sold," Taylor told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Then we have to make sure that we got the votes and then enforce that."
Taylor said he had not spoken to all of the owners but was "reasonably sure" there was enough support for a forced sale and he expected there would be potential buyers.
Lawyers with expertise in sports law gave Sterling little chance of successfully suing the NBA to block a forced sale, citing league governance rules that all owners must accept.
One wild card could be Sterling's wife, Rochelle.
Asked whether she might exercise an ownership stake in the team even if Sterling himself were removed, Silver seemed to leave the question open on Tuesday.
"There have been no discussions about other members of the Sterling family," he said. "This ruling applies specifically to Donald Sterling and Donald Sterling's conduct only."

Boasting an unexpected quarterly profit, Netflix signaled interest Wednesday in finding new financing for more original programming.
Despite analyst expectations of a fourth-quarter loss, the Los Gatos, Calif.-based streaming service generated $8 million in net income, reaching $945 million in revenues. That sent shares zooming 25% in after-hours trading.
In a letter to investors, Netflix indicated it is looking to raise more money through debt financing to fund original programming, in addition to refinancing $200 million in outstanding notes.
"This is about the opportunity provided by the debt market to get really low cost, long-term capital," said CFO David Wells in a conference call with analysts. "(It's) for us to preserve the flexibility, if we see massive success with originals, to expand that program and develop more down the road."
On Feb. 1, Netflix will launch "House of Cards," the first of at least four original series to hit the streaming service.
The investor letter also indicated there's already enough in Netflix coffers to afford more programming. But it also warned that those costs, which already began weighing on free cash flow in Q4, are likely to get more onerous before improving in the second quarter. Original programming expenses differ from those of licensing because they typically require more frequent upfront payments.
Netflix has an estimated $5 billion in streaming content costs on its books over the next five years, which had prompted analyst skepticism for the quarter and beyond. But Netflix impressed by exceeding expectations with a haul of 2.05 million U.S. subscribers for the quarter, reaching a total of 27.15 million. With overseas adds, that makes for approximately 33 million global subs.
But even as they raised the prospect of doling out more for originals, Wells and CEO Reed Hastings sought to downplay the impact "Cards" et al will have on its balance sheet and subscriber growth.
"When you think about the size of any one original in our multibillion-per-year content budget, it's not a huge risk," said Hastings.
Speaking specifically of "Cards," "We think it will be a pretty small benefit for Q1," said Wells of the potential for the drama series to goose sub numbers.
Hastings held out the possibility that original programming could stimulate significant sub growth. "But some of us are optimistic that may in fact be substantial but we don't know and don't want to count on it until it happens," he said.
Hastings seemed a bit more bullish on the impact of "Arrested Development," the revival of the Fox comedy expected to hit Netflix in the second quarter. "'Arrested' is unique because its already got a big brand," he said. "It's going to be more frontloaded in its overall viewing and attention."
Netflix execs emphasized they had no plans in place for original programming beyond this year until they can study the data from how they perform in the first half of the year.
Another area where Netflix could be spending is for an output deal in the pay-TV window with Sony Pictures, which is currently tied up at Starz but Hastings acknowledged has drawn his interest.
"Our appetite is just like it was for Disney, we'll see how it works out," said Hastings. "There's no specific piece of content that we must have."
Netflix stunned the industry last year by securing its first major output deal with Disney, with new releases coming to the service in 2017 and library fare already available. Netflix previously had access to Disney releases through a licensing agreement with Starz (which ended last year), and at that time the Mouse pics only accounted for 2% of Netflix's streaming hours. Hastings said the Mouse content would be more meaningful to subscribers now that it's exclusive to Netflix.
"It's going to be bigger than it would have otherwise," he said, noting output from Disney acquisitions Marvel and Lucasfilm also drove added value.
Hastings nixed additional funding needed for international expansion, which Netflix is still interested in but has no specific plans in place for anything in the first half of the year.
In November 2011, Netflix sold $200 million in stock to mutual fund manager T. Rowe Price and $200 million in convertible bonds to investment firm Technology Crossover Ventures for a $400 million cash infusion, but didn't specify any particular usage for that capital.

Backtesting the Implied Volatility Long/Short Strategy (7/6/16)/
Post Outline
- Strategy Summary
- References
- 4-Week Holding Period Strategy Update
- 1-Week Holding Period Strategy Update (Target Leverage=1)
- 1-Week Holding Period Strategy Updated (Target Leverage=2)
Strategy Summary
This is a stylized implementation of the strategy described in the research paper titled "What Does Individual Option Volatility Smirk Tell Us About Future Equity Returns?" by Yuhang Xing, Xiaoyan Zhang and Rui Zhao. The authors show that their SKEW factor predicts individual equity returns up to 6 months!
The shape of the volatility smirk has significant cross-sectional predictive power for future equity returns. Stocks exhibiting the steepest smirks in their traded options underperform stocks with the least pronounced volatility smirks in their options by around 10.9% per year on a risk-adjusted basis. This predictability persists for at least six months, and firms with the steepest volatility smirks are those experiencing the worst earnings shocks in the following quarter. The results are consistent with the notion that informed traders with negative news prefer to trade out-of-the-money put options, and that the equity market is slow in incorporating the information embedded in volatility smirks. [1]
Here is the skew measure they use.
My strategy differs in that I arbitrarily chose 1 and 4 week holding periods to study. Additionally this strategy only analyzes a cross-section of ETFs instead of individual stocks. I chose ETFs because liquidity and data quality concerns are minimized. Here are the selected ETFs under analysis.

Subscribe To New Details on 300 Sequel Battle Of Artemisia From Xerxes Himself Updates
I've already subscribed
Rodrigo Santoro, who memorably played the kinky and gold-laden Xerxes in Zack Snyder's glossy gore fest 300, has revealed some surprising new details about the film's in-development sequel, 300: Battle of Artemisia. Speaking with Omelete (via Collider), the What to Expect When You're Expecting star confessed that he may step back into his golden briefs and reprise his role as the Turkish tyrant, saying:
"We are talking about it. Let's see what happens. It's a long story, my friend. A long story."
This is a bit of a shock as recent reports had Animal Kingdom's Sullivan Stapleton posited to play Xerxes, while up-and-comer Jamie Blackley was set to portray the young hero looking to take him down. Does this mean those reports were false or that Santoro's out of the loop? It's hard to say as 300: Battle of Artemisia seems still to be shifting. Though this sequel was originally intended to be a prequel—based on Frank Miller's comic Xerxes--Santoro, who warned the script is still evolving, admitted the screenplay now only has "some of [Xerxes's] backstory," and that it will be tackled very quickly. Instead, the focus of Battle of Artemisia will be on an Athenian—presumably Blackley—who attempts to topple Xerxes's cruel rule. But don't call it a prequel, as Santoro reveals:
"The movie is set at the same time. The idea is to show another point of view. While that battle from the first 300 is taking place, there were others going on…Actually, it's all of this and then there is an intersection point with the first movie. It goes back and then goes beyond that. That was the initial concept."
If Santoro is right, and Battle of Artemisia is intended to take place during 300, then continuity favors his casting over Stapleton's. However, while the idea of expanding the world of 300 appeals to me, I find this meanwhile approach underwhelming. By focusing on another battle that was going on simultaneously as the epic clash displayed in 300, it seems to me the heroics of the first film's warriors will be undermined as the villainous forces being attacked on a second front, drastically lowers the stakes. Beyond that, I don't see the point of knowing Xerxes's background. The unknown is typically way more terrifying that the known, so why reveal the why of Xerxes? Personally, I'm hoping Santoro's woefully misinformed.

Live Kingdom Hall Audio Video Services
In the critical economic times in which we live, it is certainly important to manage rising Kingdom Hall operating costs and preserve dedicated funds. Thus, a willing spirit has moved individual members of Jehovah's Witnesses to provide high-quality telephone tie-ins, phone hookups (sometimes called a telephone link up) and tie lines (known as conference services) at a very low cost to Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses. METROCONF is an example of such a service, and since 2012 it has been providing high-quality video live streaming and telephone tie in (conferencing) services for friends and Kingdom Halls across five times zones in the continental United States and Canada. The purpose of this service is to make it possible to listen to Kingdom Hall meetings at home when illness and old age make it difficult or impossible to attend. Prices start at $7.50 per month per auditorium. Multiple congregations are permitted to share the same service and video services are included in the cost. Kingdom Halls requiring video only (for example ASL) can also subscribe for as low as $7.50 per month.
METROCONF is available in all of the continental United States and Canada (including rural areas), and makes it very easy to listen to the meetings at the Kingdom Hall. Callers are muted (cannot interfere with the listening of other callers) unless the "commenting" feature is used, in which case one caller is unmuted for a brief period of time. Callers use the website, or a toll-free number and receive a call back within minutes after calling the access number. This means that callers never pay long distance charges. A toll-free number is available to all callers in the continental USA and Canada. Kingdom Hall customers are only billed flat rate charges. They are never billed per minute. International callers and callers not wanting a call back may use the New York access number if needed and are responsible for the cost of their own calls. Those friends that have computers, tablets, mobile phones and Internet access may also listen to the meetings over the Internet without any additional charges. They only need to click Listen to Meeting at the top left of this page to start listening.
METROCONF is being provided at a very low cost, and will continue to operate at a very low cost to Kingdom Halls as long as conditions permit. Among the friends that have used the service, the feedback from Kingdom Halls regarding the price and qualify of the service has been overwhelmingly positive. In terms of security and scalability, the video and conferencing service is hosted in a secure data center, meaning that hardware, security, and networking are monitored and maintained by experienced data center personnel. METROCONF ensures high availability, redundancy and scalability, meaning that the same high quality audio is delivered at all times, even during times of high demand. It is expected that further advances in technology will continue to lower video and conferencing (phone tie-in) prices, resulting in further savings in video, conferencing and telephone costs for Kingdom Halls.
Connecting to the Tie-In (Conference) Service for Kingdom Halls
Whether you are calling from a Kingdom Hall to connect a meeting, or from home to listen to a meeting, simply call:
1-844-221-2100 (English Toll-Free in North America)
1-888-971-4092 (French Toll-Free in North America)
1-855-953-4100 (Spanish Toll-Free in North America)
Follow the recorded instructions. No initial registration is needed, and you may start using the telephone tie-in service immediately. You will be given a 1 month free trial period, after which you can subscribe on the left side of this web page or request a invoice and pay by check. You will be automatically given a PIN number when you start using the service. The PIN number is not only for one congregation, but can be used by all congregations and foreign language groups using the auditorium. It can also be used for special events, such as memorials and weddings. Full instructions and billing details can be downloaded here. Customer support may be contacted here.

Immunology may be key to pregnancy loss (updated) by Carolyn Coulam and Nancy Hemenway
The complexity of the immune system can be key in treating both implantation failure and pregnancy loss.
Immunology May Be Key To Pregnancy Loss
Until the last decade, there was little a couple could do if they suffered from recurrent pregnancy losses. Miscarriages that couldn't be attributed to chromosomal defects, hormonal problems or abnormalities of the uterus were labeled "unexplained," and couples would continue to get pregnant, only to suffer time and again as they lost their babies. New research, however, has provided information on the causes of the heretofore unexplained pregnancy losses allowing more effective treatment enabling women to carry their babies to term.

FORT WORTH - A 13-year-old North Texas boy faces a capital murder charge in the death of a 5-year-old boy hit in the head multiple times.
Fort Worth police say the teen was arrested Thursday in the death of Sida Osman. The teen's name is being withheld because he's a juvenile.
His case is in juvenile court. Because he is younger than 14, he is not eligible to stand trial as an adult in the case.
Police say the youngster's body was discovered Wednesday afternoon, a day after he was reported missing by his family.
Sida's body was found in the backyard of a vacant house about a block from the apartments where he lived.
Fort Worth police say the two had gone to the yard and the teen was irritated with Sida.

Bachmann maintains Paul bribed former campaign chairman
Steve Watson
December 30, 2011
Yet more staffers formerly working for a GOP rival of Ron Paul have endorsed the Texas Congressman's campaign this week.
Concord Patch reports that five former New Hampshire staffers of former Governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson announced Friday that they are now endorsing Ron Paul for president.
"Like many political observers, we see clear and compelling differences between Congressman Ron Paul and the other candidates who will garner significant support in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary," the five former staffers said in a statement.
The five, including Johnson's former state coordinator and former communications director, left in October citing "frustration with the national campaign."
Johnson announced earlier this week that he was quitting the Republican race and would be running as a Libertarian.
Noting that Paul and Johnson share some "very similar ideas", Johnson's former communications director Matt Simon said "It's something we'd talked about, and we discussed the timing, and certainly his announcement Wednesday made it easier to go ahead with this,"
"There are two like-minded candidates in this race," Simon said. "At this point it comes down to ideas, and the vast differences between Ron Paul and the other candidates we've seen play out in the last couple weeks."
The announcement comes on the back of that of former Michelle Bachmann campaign chairman in Iowa, Kent Sorenson, who "defected" To the Paul campaign on live TV yesterday.
Bachmann is charging that the Paul campaign bribed Sorenson, a claim that both Sorenson and the Paul campaign have strenuously denied.
"I was never offered money from the Ron Paul campaign or anyone associated with them and certainly would never accept any," Sorenson said in a statement via the Paul campaign.
Calling the allegation "ridiculous", the Paul campaign also cited a statement by Wes Enos, Bachmann's Iowa political director, also denying the bribery charge.
"I can say unequivocally that Kent Sorenson's decision was, in no way financially motivated," Enos said in his statement. "While I personally disagree with Kent's decision, and plan to stay with Michele Bachmann because I truly believe in her, I cannot, in good conscience watch a good man like Kent Sorenson be attacked as a 'sell-out.'"
Enos has now "quit" the campaign, Bachmann herself revealed in an interview with CNN today. It remains to be seen whether he too will join the Ron Paul campaign.
Steve Watson is the London based writer and editor for Alex Jones' Infowars.net, andPrisonplanet.com. He has a Masters Degree in International Relations from the School of Politics at The University of Nottingham in England.

Thought Bachman was just a well meaning fool with an overactive emotional side. Leaning towards her being a lil spoiled b*#ch that shamelessly lies and spreads false rumors when she doesn't get her way.
Bachperson is such a compulsive liar and always thinks everyone is so stupid she'll never get caught LOL so she lied with this thinking it would just be a he said she said deal and ends up someone with a bit of principal and conviction in her own staff called her out on her lies!!

Our clinic has served the Northville area (and beyond) for over 30 years and is known as a small, friendly, country clinic with a warm, happy, and low-key atmosphere. Our clinic is located on the site of an old dairy farm dating back to before the Civil War.
In September of 2000, we opened our new facility located on the same site as our old clinic. Although the building is new, the same 'old' people are running our business! We now have 4 veterinarians and 10 support staff, many of which have been with us for several years or longer.
Over the years, we have established many long-term relationships with our clients. These relationships are very close to our hearts. This is, after all, not just a pet business but also a people business. We are all very fortunate to live in the Northville area where we have easy access to a variety of specialists and equipment, and where we have an outstanding emergency clinic within four miles of our office. We work hand-in-hand with these great folks to keep your pet's medical needs covered 24 hours a day. We hope you will come and meet our fine staff.

The town of Bitetto, Bari, in Puglia, Italy, lists on their website all of the streets in town that they named after fallen soldiers in any war, listed alphabetically. You can find a brief biography of Vincenzo Cianciotta - in Italian - at the bottom of the page for Cianciotta.
Roughly translated, it says:
Born at Bitetto, 16 January 1884, ID number 11587, deceased 8 October 1916 at Vizintini, dying at 11 am at 32 years of age. Son of Saverio and of Arcangela Scigliuto, married to Antonia Occhiogrosso and father of one daughter, residing at via Barberio 19. Died following a bullet wound to the head. Buried at Vizintini. Soldier of the 9th Infantry Regiment.
(I hope that's more or less accurate. My Italian was once fairly good, but I haven't used it in 2-3 years now. I should probably brush up if I'm going to start looking more closely at my Italian ancestors.)
From what I can figure out, Vizintini (or Visintini) is a hamlet in the town of Doberdo del Lago in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which was involved in the Battles of the Isonzo. Vincenzo's date of death falls a couple of days before the Eighth Battle of the Isonzo (10-12 October 1916), so it seems that he was either injured during the Seventh Battle of the Isonzo (14-17 September 1916) and did not die for nearly a month, or he was injured and killed between battles.
I'm going to see what I can learn about requesting Italian military records.

UPDATE: This story was originally published on November 20.
When you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is take a load off, kick your feet up, pour yourself a glass of Pinot, and take in the view. Except, in NYC, you probably don't have a view. And, uh, sometimes when you kick your feet up you might accidentally kick something over. Yes, living in such covetable zip codes often comes at the cost of space, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a single ounce of style.
For proof, we knocked on the doors of five influential New Yorkers (one of whom happens to work at R29) to see how they make the most of their tight square footage—and, of course, we didn't leave without grabbing all their expert tips to making a tiny pad look oh-so-big. From a DIY faux fireplace to a sophisticated loft (yes, they exist), these cribs may not have an XXL tag, but their chicness is off the charts. There's even room for plenty of Pinot—Noir and Grigio alike!

Back style variation
"He loves me... he loves me not…"
We've all played the game before.
Plucking petals off a daisy, one by one.
Hoping… wishing...praying that by the time we get to the last one.
We'll get our confirmation.
That whomever we secretly swoon over.
Feels the same about us.
No shame in this of course - the heart is a wonderfully wild thing.
But how about trying this instead:
Welcome a pair of Daisy Knickers into your life.
When you see yourself wearing them, you'll get something even better:
Confirmation from YOURSELF about what a total catch you are.
There's no need to pluck petals to be certain of that!
This Daisy Thong is made a sheer mesh with daisy embroidered edge.
100% Polyester
Please refer to the garment label for specific instructions on how best to care for your sexy lingerie to give you years of satisfaction and enjoyment!
The general rule for all high-quality lingerie is to hand wash and hang to dry.
