The battle between Verizon wireless and AT&T over Verizon's ads mocking AT&T's 3G coverage has been a contentious one. AT&T took Verizon to court claiming the ads deceived the customers. While it lost the first round, being denied an injunction, AT&T will have another chance to plead its case at a December 16 hearing.
AT&T's public relations representative, Seth Bloom (an employee with Fleischman-Hillard), contacted us, looking to give us his company's views on the debate. We were happy to get some interesting responses to our questions. Our dialog is given below:
DailyTech: Is Verizon's map of your 3G coverage incorrect? (I'm talking specifically about 3G coverage, not misinterpretation.)
SB: They chose geographic coverage. What the maps don't show is that about 75 percent of Americans – 233 million people – can access AT&T 3G services today where they live and work. AT&T offers 3G service to roughly 81% of the customers to whom Verizon offers 3G.
DailyTech: Accuracy aside, do you feel the coverage map is deceiving? Also, as it says 3G coverage, why do you feel customers won't be able to figure it out, if that's the reason why you feel it's deceptive?
SB: Yes, we feel the coverage map is deceptive and independent research has shown that Verizon's commercials mislead some consumers into thinking AT&T does not offer any wireless service in a vast area of the country. In addition to the 75 percent of Americans – 233 million people – who can access AT&T 3G services today where they live and work, all of the activities shown in the Verizon television advertisements can be done on AT&T's 2.5G EDGE network, which is available to more than 296 million people where they live and work and across the vast majority of the United States. The ads undermine the public's confidence in the coverage of AT&T's network and in how we represent that coverage.
DailyTech: What's the worst dropped call rate posted by AT&T — by your internal metrics — for a city? The best?
SB: I can only share national figures. 3G dropped calls are down 12 percent over the previous year and nearing a 1% level, and 3G blocked calls (unable to complete on first attempt) are down 30 percent.
(Ed. Note -We tried to follow up with a second request for more information, including total dropped calls, dropped calls on the EDGE networks and dropped call rates for New York City (or New York state). We also tried to get an answer whether these studies were conducted internally or independentally by a contractor. Mr. Fleischman was unable to provide us with that info, thus its hard to say whether reports of 30 percent dropped call rates on the iPhone in NYC via Apple representatives at a NYC Genius Bar was accurate. It is clear though that most of AT&T's network doesn't have this many dropped calls, though the exact number remains unclear, based on the limited info provided.)
DailyTech: What steps is AT&T taking to upgrade its 3G network?
SB: AT&T invested more than any other U.S. public company in 2008, and plans to spend between $17 and $18 billion this year, with billions dedicated to the wireless network. AT&T is setting expectations and standards for the technology community, encouraging them to develop the more sophisticated hardware, software and standards to handle the volumes and applications we're seeing on our wireless network.
- We're deploying the next generation of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 3G technology – HSPA 7.2 – to considerably increase the mobile broadband speeds on our 3G network.
- The network improvements include backhaul enhancements that will deliver more bandwidth to thousands of cell sites this year.
- We're also in the midst of an initiative to substantially expand the wireless spectrum serving 3G customers in hundreds of markets across the country, using high-quality 850 MHz spectrum, which expands network capacity and improves in-building reception. Deployments of this 850 MHz spectrum are about 90 percent complete today.
- We're adding about 2,000 new cell sites to our network in 2009, expanding service to new cities and improving coverage in other areas. o We're enabling widespread Wi-Fi connectivity via the largest hotspot footprint in the country with more than 20,000 hotspots in all 50 states. Wi-Fi access is free to qualifying AT&T smartphone and broadband customers, allowing them to take advantage of the best available AT&T mobile broadband connection.
- We're preparing for field trials of 4G LTE wireless networks next year, with deployment planned to follow in 2011. This schedule aligns with industry expectations of when a wide variety of compatible 4G wireless devices will be available.
DailyTech: Would it be correct to say that perhaps the wild success of the iPhone and the growth in subscription (in the U.S.) caught your company a bit off guard, and that may be one reason for the struggles? If this is true or perhaps partially true, does this mean that with time these issues will go away as the high speed (3G) capacity catches up?
SB: The iPhone is an iconic device that has changed how people access information, and our tremendous success with the iPhone is clearly driving the data traffic on our network. But keep in mind that the demand for mobile data bandwidth is also being driven by a wide range of smartphones and emerging applications and devices, so it wouldn't be accurate to pin the growth we're seeing today solely on a single device.
At the same time, it's important to note that we've maintained the nation's fastest 3G network throughout, and we're investing heavily and working tirelessly to enhance and expand our network to stay ahead of demand. (And that demand has been nearly 5,000 percent in the last 12 quarters.)
To answer your question more directly: Yes, we're seeing strong results from the network investments that we've made to date and that will continue. In addition to the improved dropped call rate I mentioned above, AT&T's 3G reliability is 96.67% and 3G retainability is 98.1%. (Both are within ½ percentage point of VZ.) Customers are noticing our efforts. AT&T added more subscribers in 3Q thanVerizon, and more customers left Verizon than AT&T in the same period. (AT&T: 2M adds, 1.43% churn vs VZ 1.2M adds, 1.49% churn). Our total churn rate has steadily decreased by 14 percent over the past two years, while Verizon's has increased by 24 percent over the same period.
DailyTech: If AT&T can't win a decision to take the ads off the air, what strategies might be employed to counter the bad publicity? Might AT&T turn to fighting fire with fire, perhaps picking at lacking aspects of Verizon's network or phone offerings in new ads?
SB: Our new ad, which began airing last night, is one way we're doing just that. We are also continuing to talk directly to customers. We want customers to know that our 3G network has unique attributes that Verizon and other competitors cannot match: AT&T has the fastest 3G network and that it allows for simultaneous talk and Web surfing. We also talk about our unrivaled stable of smartphones (not just iPhone) – Bold 9700, Bold 9000, Curve 8900 and other Blackberries; HTC PURE, HTC Tilt 2 – both running WM 6.5; Nokia E71x & Surge; Garmin nuvifone, and more. Twice as many smartphone users have chosen AT&T over any other US carrier.
DailyTech would like to thank Mr. Bloom for graciously accepting our request for interview and answering the majority of our inquiries in depth.

I'm pretty excited about the top 100 players of 2013... hawks should have a pretty strong representation! The show premiers saturday april 27th
I thought it would be fun to do a just-for-fun .net game with it -
Golf type scoring - lowest score wins.
1.) Name the players from the Seahawks (including off-season adds) that you think will be in the top 100 players of 2013, along with which spot you think they'll be chosen in.
2.) Points are given for every spot away from your pick the player is chosen. For example if you say Russell Wilson will be 50th but he is 70th, you'll get 20 points. Or if he goes 30th instead, you still get 20 points.
3.) Automatic 10 point penalty for naming a player that doesn't end up on the list at all, or leaving off a player that is on the list.
4.) Automatic -10 point bonus for getting all seahawks players, in the correct order. No bonus if you name or leave off any players.
5.) Automatic -5 point bonus for every exact answer (if RW goes 50th after you predict he goes 50th, -5 pts for you)
6.) Rookie QB's Bonus -5 pts bonus if you correctly identify the order that Wilson, Luck, and RG3 will appear on the list from Highest to lowest (highest meaning closest to #1)
7.) U mad bro bonus -5 pts during each players spot they often have a couple guys talk about the player. Since we can assume Richard Sherman will be on the list, predict one of the players (one submission only) who will provide commentary on Sherman.
8.) Wilsonism Bonus -5 pts "if" RW is on the list, predict what Wilson catch-phrase we will hear during his spot. If we get multiple wilsonisms they all count for points, but only one submission per entry.
Good luck! sorry if my scoring is goofy or in advance if it takes me forever to add up everyone's scores but this is just for fun.
Feel free to edit your posts until the premier of the show; anything edited after the fact won't be counted.
#95 Max Unger
Nobody hit that one exactly but KK84 was 1 point off with a 94 guess.

"Will Asian online game publishers Nexon and NCsoft buy blockbuster publisher Valve?" asks VentureBeat in an article based on a rumor in a "major" Korean publication. Joongang News reports Nexon and Valve met in Hawaii yesterday to discuss a possible merger. Nexon was also involved in acquisition rumors earlier this year when reports emerged it was bidding on EA. Valve's Gabe Newell has expressed no interest in selling the company when previous such rumors have emerged, but neither company has commented on this report yet.

For Season Ticket and Group Licensees: If you're a Season Ticket or Group Licensee and selling through My Yankees Account - please login to your My Yankees Account. Select "Manage My Tickets." Select the event and check the box for the tickets you want to sell. Click "Sell." Clicking the "Sell" button directs you to Yankees Ticket Exchange where as a first time user you will be prompted to register for an account. Note that it is important to use the same email address for your Yankees Ticket Exchange account as this keeps the two systems in sync.
For non-Season Ticket and Group Licensees: You can start by visiting Yankees Ticket Exchange and clicking on the "Sell Your Tickets" banner. From there you can click "Get Started" to begin listing your tickets. Drop-down menus will appear for you to choose your specific event. Then choose the event and location according to what's listed directly on the tickets. In order to post your tickets with Yankees Ticket Exchange, you will need to create an account. You can sign up for a free membership during the listing process.
In general, you are able to set the price of your tickets without limitation. You have three choices from which to choose: Fixed Price, Decreased Price, and Market Price. Here are some more details on the following pricing options:
For example:
If the maximum price is $100 and the minimum price is $20 for a listing that will expire in 20 days, the price of the tickets will be reduced by $4 each day ($100 - $20 = $80 divided by 20 days = $4). The tickets will be listed for $100 on day one, $96 on day two and so on.
The formula for calculating the market price is performed by taking the average of all retail ticket prices in the same section. For example: if the initial price you set was $100 and the average price for tickets in the same section as yours is $120, your price will be change to $120 the next day.
For Season Ticket or Group Licensees: Click on the update edit link within your My Yankees Account and you'll be brought to Yankees Ticket Exchange, where you can select the tickets you wish to edit on the Current Listings tab.
For non-Season Ticket and Group Licensees: Login directly to Yankees Ticket Exchange and go to "My Listings." Make sure you are on the "Current Listings" page. Once there, you can view your Sold, For Sale, and Inactive ticket postings. Click on the button "Edit Listing" to change any of the following information:
Price: Under the "My Listings" tab, click the "Edit Listing" button next to the ticket listing for which you want to change the price.
Contact Info/Shipping Address: Under the "My Profile" tab you can update your billing address and other contact information.
Email Address: Under the "My Profile" tab you can update your email address. Important: If you're a Season Ticket or Group Licensee, you'll need to update both your My Yankees Account email address and your Yankees Ticket Exchange email to the same email address in order to keep the two systems synchronized.
Direct Deposit Info: Go to "My Profile" and edit your banking information.
List Until Date: Under the "My Listings" tab, click the "Edit Listing" button next to the ticket listing you want to change the "List Until Date."
Go to Yankees Ticket Exchange and click on the "My Listings" tab. Once there select the individual ticket posting you want to remove and click "Remove".
You will select the list until date and time during the posting process. We will also send you a Listing Expiration email reminding you know when your posting will be removed if it does not sell. Postings with a "List Until" date prior to the event date will be removed during the early morning hours on the date you have specified as your "List Until" date.
We want you to sell your tickets, and also want to provide you with sufficient time to use or make other arrangements for unsold postings.
For Ticketmaster Verified Instant Delivery and Electronic Delivery, your ticket barcodes are already entered so you don't need to worry about shipping or approving a ticket sale. Your tickets will be reissued electronically to the buyer. However, you will need to retain your original tickets in case of cancellation. If the event is cancelled, the reissued barcodes are not valid for refund and you will be required to return your original tickets to the original point of purchase for a refund.
No, you are not responsible for any shipping or delivery fees as they are paid by the buyer when the tickets are purchased.
You have a few payment options:
Direct Deposit - Typically within 7 business days after the buyer has received the tickets, your payment will be deposited electronically to the account you provide. If for any reason, the payment is not correct or you do not receive your payment in a timely fashion, please contact us immediately.

It is completely free to list tickets for sale. At the time of listing your tickets for sale, you will be notified of the exact commission value prior to the posting of your tickets. No charges will be incurred unless and until a sale is made. Your payment will reflect the deducted commission amount. Be sure to keep this in mind when pricing your tickets at a specific price. This commission is subject to change at any time.

Ok, quick take: what do you think of the iPad? Is it truly the "third category" between your laptop and your iPhone? It is overblown, overpriced, and overhyped? Or is it like the iPod: something most people thought was "kind of neat" at first, but which ended up revolutionizing the consumer industry?

February is the shortest month of the year. It's Black History Month. It's the month when it rains in California. And at Hill Street Center in Santa Monica it's MONTH LONG ZEN AND SEX MONTH!!! (Thanks eMily)
That's right, starting this weekend I will deliver a series of lectures about Zen and sex. These lectures will be a warm up — or perhaps I should say "foreplay" — to the publication of my book SIN SEX AND ZEN in the Autumn of 2010. I've spent the past year writing and researching the matter of Buddhism and its relationship to sex, and vice versa.
There have been books about the subject of Buddhism and sex already. The Red Thread: Buddhist Approaches to Sexuality is a good one, and so is Lust for Enlightenment: Buddhism and Sex. But these books deal only with the history of Buddhism as it relates to matters of sexuality. They go into great and very interesting detail about how Asian Buddhists in the ancient past have dealt with these matters.
It's important to be aware of this. In Buddhism we have great reverence for how wise people in ancient times solved the same problems we face today. Kodo Sawaki often spoke about how he simply followed the path of the ancients.
But, at the same time, we are not Asian Buddhists of the distant past. Even if some of you reading this might be Asian, you're still living in different times. The ancient solutions may indeed be best. But many of us today are unable or simply unwilling to accept them and live our lives accordingly. Are we, then, bad Buddhists? Should we give up the practice entirely, knowing full well we can never be as pure as it seems to require us to be?
In Buddha's time, all monks were supposed to be strictly celibate. Even masturbation was forbidden. Male and female monks lived in separate quarters. And homosexual relationships were strictly forbidden.
And yet none of these restrictions came from the point of view that sex was a sin. There is no concept of sin in Buddhism, no matter how hard many Western Buddhists try to shove it in there. No amount of lube is gonna make that sucker slide in! There simply isn't any way to make the concept of sin compatible with Buddhism.
The restrictions came from the idea that in order to devote oneself fully to the practice one had to avoid sex altogether. It was too distracting.
During the Meiji Restoration the Japanese government declared that Buddhist monks could legally marry. In many ways this just acknowledged what had already been a fact for a very long time. Buddhists monks often had long term relationships and even children. In any case, this touched off a new era in Buddhism and sexuality.
This is especially relevant in the West where so much of our Buddhism has been imported from Japan. And yet we're also seeing Buddhist denominations from other countries coming Westward. These denominations have much less liberal attitudes towards sex than the Japanese. It's all very confusing!
The thing I wanted to know when writing the book is; How can Western Buddhists today deal with sexuality? Most of us have no interest in becoming celibate monks. The general attitude towards sex has changed drastically in the past 2500 years. A truckload of juicy hardcore pornography is only a mouse click away from you right this very minute, all absolutely free of charge. We live in a world of seemingly unrestricted access to all kinds of sexuality.
As Buddhists how do we navigate this? It's all well and good to say, "Just avoid contact, and maintain purity of body and mind." But who among us can really do that?
I don't claim to have the answers. But I do think it's important to open the matter up for discussion.
If you're interested in participating, please come to Hill Street Center for the next four Saturdays and join in. All the info you need is at this link. I hope to see you there!
And if it's any further incentive, this lecture series will be the final chance you'll get to participate in Zen practice and discussion with me at Hill Street Center for a while. Those of you who live in the area but have been saying, "Aw, Brad's always there. I'll just go another time," might want to show up. More on this later. But you can look at my growing slate of gigs for 2010 for a clue.
Oh! And buy the damned Dimentia 13 download dammit!
See ya!

A suspected crack cocaine dealer was arrested Friday morning after drug officers found him hiding under garage bags and clothes in a bedroom closet of a Butler home, authorities said.
Mausee S. Brown, 34, was nabbed in a second-floor apartment during a warrant search at the house in the 300 block of Brown Street, where investigators believe he was using to sell drugs.
The Butler County Drug Task Force led the search that turned up nearly $5,000 in currency and other drug-related evidence.
"He's a pretty good source of crack cocaine in town," county Detective Tim Fennell, who heads the task force, said of Brown.
Two other men, including the apartment's tenant, also were arrested in the search shortly after 6 a.m.
Fennell said officers for the past month have been conducting surveillance and making controlled drug buys at the apartment.
"We started looking at that house after neighbors complained about the constant flow of (suspected drug) customers, in and out," he said.
Brown is in the county prison on $100,000 bail.

It is clear the league is changing and the Seattle Seahawks is changing with it. You can see it across the board in this 2013 draft.
I believe the rookie cap will be the ultimate un-doing of fan favorites & beloved vets. I predict in another 10 years (or less), only QBs will be making the obscene money many vets (Revis) enjoy today. Vets will be forced to settle for 'realistic' money, or they will be replaced with 2nd or 3rd year men (and so on). If all owners play this the same way (and they will) the public won't even detect a drop off.
Strikes, threats of strikes and hold outs, have seen the owners feet held to the fire for many years. Now, the writing is on the wall and the owners will surely get the last laugh (the rich always get richer).
Sooner than later, we will see this up close and personal with our beloved Seattle Seahawks. Most are not going to appreciate it when this reality hits home (Sherman). This is what I'm seeing, but I'd actually like to be wrong, so your (intelligent) counters will be welcomed & appreciated.

It is long since overdue that Congress reduce — and eventually eliminate — agricultural subsidies. The small steps the Senate recently took must not be reversed. Agricultural subsidies, which forcibly take wealth from one segment of the population and redistribute to another, may buy votes but come at the cost of creating mal-investment in the economy, as well as violating individual rights to maintain this socialist mercantilist program. There is nothing wrong — in fact, it would be beneficial — for Americans to purchase their food from farms located in other countries which do not require forcibly seized U.S. taxpayer wealth to sustain their viability.
Subsidies harmful

210-520-6400 Called?
Ready to stop telemarketering calls like phone calls from 210-520-6400?
Based on the 117+ complaints we found online, it's probably a scam. Learn how to stop getting unwanted calls from numbers like 210-520-6400.
There are several resources on our website that can help you reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive. For example:
- If the call was from a US company, learn How to Sue a Telemarketer.
- If it was a robocall, learn How to Block Telemarketing Calls.
- If you talked to a person, learn What to Say Next Time They Call.
- Learn How to Report This Number to the FTC. (the Do Not Call List)
- Learn why you should report 210-520-6400 to the FCC. (Not the same as the Do Not Call List – see below.)
We want to stop telemarketing calls. Period. Please educate yourself on the tactics above and help save everyone from these annoying phone calls.
We searched other "Call Complaint Websites" and added up the number of online complaints posted on those websites.
Number of Online Complaints Found for 210-520-6400:
Over 117 Online Complaints Found.
Originating Call's Location:
City: San Antonio, State: TX
FCC Complaint Status:
210-520-6400 does not have enough complaints filed with the FCC for most phone carriers to block this number.
More Info: On October 21, 2015, the FCC enacted new rules which allow your phone carrier access the FCC's files of telemarketing complaints. The phone companies can now legally use that information to block unwanted calls from ever reaching your phone. Depending on the carrier, if there are enough complaints filed with the FCC for a phone number, they will block that phone number from ever reaching your phone. However, very few of the billions of robocalls ever get reported to the FCC, so your phone keeps ringing. Note: A complaint filed with the Do Not Call List is not the same as a complaint filed with the FCC.

Boston is a city filled with American history, present day energy, and more hometown pride than anyone can shake a stick at. But amidst the piles of seafood, first-rate art collections and museums, and brownstone buildings is another section of Boston's appeal worth noting: the city's capacity to host one beautiful wedding.

Baratang Island
Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Southern India : Andaman and Nicobar : Baratang Island
Baratang Island is part of the Andaman and Nicobar group off the coast of India.
This is one of best part of your trip to Andaman Islands. Here you get to see the wild nature as well as its beauty. Andaman trip will be incomplete without a trip to Baratang and Jirkatang.
Get inIt is about 90 km away from Port Blair. Regular bus services are available from STS Bus Terminal, Aberdeen Bazar. Journey takes about 2 hrs and 30 minutes from Port Blair to Middle Strait and the fare is just Rs. 45. From Nilambur Jetty at middle strait ferry [[Image:Middle_strait_jetty.jpg|thumb]
This is one of the most exciting part of journey, where you will see the tribes (Jarwah). They are short height, black in complexion, with reddish eyes. They feed on roasted pig meat mainly. Fish and fruits being the other part of their diet. Civilization has not yet touched this part of the world, and the Government of India has taken every steps to ensure that no one interferes with their freedom. Offering food items to Zarawah is strictly prohibited, once when they were offered food (generally fried and spicy as we normally eat), some of the people in the tribe started dying. Forest department (Andaman Adi Janjati Samiti) also provides them with clothes. On your way to Middle strait jetty you might still find a lot of people among the tribes particular young men asking for food. Please do not pay any heed. Always speak to your driver before doing anything.
Interacting with the Jarwahs is strictly prohibited as is taking their snaps. There are stories as well as facts of tribes attacking tourists/convoy with bows and arrows and harassing trespassers. So please keep away from them and enjoy the experience.
The vehicles have to leave in convoys. There are 8 convoy throughout the day from Jirkatang (6.30 am, 7am, 7.30 am, 8 am, 9.30 am, 11.30 am, 1.30 pm, 2.30 pm). [1] So please take care of the timings. You cannot cross the forest unless you are in one of the convoys. At Jirkatang check post there is a toilet/bathroom with all facilities. So if you have left from you hotel/lodge at around 4am you will reach there by 5.15 am and you can get fresh and alight your bus/vehicle by 6.30 am before the 1st convoy leaves for Baratang. In the convoy 2 wheelers/bicycles are not allowed. Only 4 wheelers are allowed. The 1st vehicle in the convoy is always a bus, with 1-2 gunned policemen. And the Jarwahs do fear the forest police. Police though does not have shoot order from government of India. Once again if you are an Indian tourist, you will find enough reasons to be proud to be so. Its is simply amazing to see how two worlds (civilized and uncivilized) coexist in this reserve forest with some amount of discipline. Hats off to the Andaman Adi Janjati Samiti.This is the only road connecting to North Andaman to places like Kadamtala (28 kms from Baratang jetty), Rangat (71 kms from Baratang jetty), Mayabunder (141 kms from Baratang jetty), Diglipur (203 kms from Baratang jetty). Here it is interesting to see how buses/vehicles alight the jetty to reach either side of the middle strait.
Get around
SeeAt Baratang you can see Mud Volcano
Another must-see attraction is Parrot Island. The experience at Parrot Island at sunset, when all the parrots are returning home is indeed a mesmerizing experience. For this a night's stay is required at Baratang.
Some points to note :
At the same time visiting Baratang can be more memorable if the trip is taken with a night stay at Baratang. The early morning journey which generally starts at 3:40AM in the morning can easily be avoided. The main reason for any tourist opting for the early morning hectic trip is only because of improper guidance from the Port Blair tour operators. There are regular bus services to Baratang. Book your seat in any bus with your convenient timings and visit Baratang Island. APWD guest House, Forest guest House and Panchayat Guest house are some of the places for the night halt. The only good private property at Baratang is Dew Dale Resorts. By doing so you can also add Parrot Island trip at Baratang in your itinerary, which is really a breathtaking experience. Do visit Baratang Island which is one of the most beautiful parts of Andaman & Nicobar Islands but only with a night halt to avoid the hectic 3:40AM trips.

Jason Bateman's past lies in front of him, on a piece of paper, face down. Typewritten on the flip side is a quotation of his from 1987, when he was a teen idol starring in "Teen Wolf Too."
"Ugh," he says, turning the paper over. "I probably thought I was pretty hot s--- then."
The quote — first printed in the Hollywood Reporter, reproduced this February afternoon by the guy sent to write about Bateman — is hugely aspirational and brazen in its ambition, especially in the shadow of a quarter century gone by.
He recites his own words softly, without emotion.
" 'Teen Wolf Too' doesn't represent what I want to do in the future," the bygone 18-year-old says through his present 45-year-old self. "I'd like to play a dramatic role like Timothy Hutton did in 'Ordinary People.' What a great vehicle that was. I want to be a great actor."
"I remember I was in the green room for Merv Griffin's TV show and it was full of stereotyped Hollywood people chattering away. Then the news was announced that James Cagney had died."
"Everyone stopped talking. They were touched by the passing of a great talent. That is the kind of career I want to establish.''
Jason Bateman, in his new film "Bad Words," plays a boorish man-child who at one point smears ketchup on the chair of a middle school girl to cripple her with pubescent embarrassment during a spelling bee.
"Bad Words" is not exactly "White Heat."
And its director is not exactly Robert Redford. It is Jason Bateman, making his feature film directorial debut.
Bateman sets the paper back on the table, next to his non-fat dirty chai latte, in a corner of the bar at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. That 18-year-old is "somebody who clearly was more focused on respect and longevity as opposed to fame and fortune and being a celebrity," says Bateman, standing by his youthful cockiness. "And, you know, certain choices I've made in my career are consistent with that, and others aren't."
Jason Bateman is handsome in a cozy way, like he's just finished unpacking his winter wools from an oak chest in the pages of a J. Crew catalog. In person, he's pleasant but not phony, prickly but not distant. He's a gentler version of his on-screen persona, the exasperated straight man who toggles between wholesome deadpan and gallows humor. And when confronted with his teenage stardom, he doesn't recoil. He demonstrates how exquisitely well-adjusted he is today, how he has a firm-yet-supple grip on the rudder of his career, even as he lets out its sails.
"I've witnessed some people very close to me that have made decisions that are too far in either direction," he says. "Either too precious, too I'm-not-gonna-work-for-the-Man — and they've been unemployed for years — or those that grab the low-hanging fruit because they think fame and fortune is the way to relevance and longevity. And neither really works. You have to strike a balance, all the while having very limited choices."
Bateman has wanted to direct a movie ever since his father took him to the cinema instead of the park as a child. Imprinted on his frontal lobe are "Apocalypse Now," "Kramer vs. Kramer" and other acclaimed box-office hits of the late '70s and early '80s, just before he entered the business at 12 years old with a role on "Little House on the Prairie." Child stardom both stunted his directorial ambitions and girded them with years of on-set experience. Once he got comfortable in front of the camera, he started to observe and absorb what was going on behind it.
Long before "Bad Words" came along, though, Bateman had to experience three moments that define many Hollywood careers: The moment he knew he was in, the moment he knew he was out and the moment he knew he was back.
The first: "When NBC gave me my own show called 'It's Your Move' [in 1984], which was on the heels of 'Silver Spoons.' "
The second: After "The Hogan Family" ended in 1991, "I was auditioning for pilots or looking to be worked into pilots. . . . I remember [my attorney and I] talking numbers, and I said: 'Boy that sounds low to me. Does that not sound low to you?' And there was a pause and he said, 'You know, you're just not that hot anymore.' "
The third: It "was after 'Arrested Development' started to get its first wave of critical acclaim [in late 2003]. So it wasn't just getting hired on that show, which was a very, very big deal for me, but it was once I knew the show was now being embraced by those who could perpetuate a career. . . . And we got nominated for a Golden Globe and the Emmys. And now basically my stink had been washed off, and I was on something that was critically acclaimed, and I was validated."
A string of mainstream film comedies with respectable box-office receipts allowed him to accumulate "just barely enough capital as an actor" to be a "tolerable financial risk" as a director. In "Bad Words," his character exploits a loophole in the bylaws of a spelling-bee organization to compete against spellers who are 35 years younger. On the one hand, it's a predictable, bilious addition to the misanthropic frat-pack genre that is now a decade old (and rotting). On the other, it's a calling card for a promising director whose confidence manifests in the sleekness and precision of his first self-made product.
Nicole Kidman, after she saw "Bad Words," called Bateman and asked him to direct and star in a movie adaptation of the darkly comic novel "The Family Fang." Preproduction begins in May.
"That was exciting, to say the least," he says of Kidman's overture. "I'm always shocked that anyone knows I'm on the planet."
His planet is "very normal and predictable," which maybe explains why his humor is often tinged with dread. He lives in the Hollywood Hills with his wife, Amanda, and his two daughters, ages 7 and 2. He drives the 7-year-old to school in the morning and then, if he's not shooting, tends film and TV projects at his production office at Universal Studios. His motto is balance, his goal to marry commerce with quality. If "Bad Words" and "The Family Fang" enable a full-time directing career, he will gladly bet his relevance and longevity on that.
The screams of teenage girls echo in his past.
The fruitful but fickle nature of Hollywood defines his present.
And the future — a robust second career behind the camera? Or a second dance with oblivion? It doesn't matter, he says. He long ago detached his ego from fame.
"This is probably going to sound trite, but I wanted to do three things," Bateman says. "I wanted to be a dad, a husband and direct a movie. That's what I wanted to do."
Check. Check. Check. So what the hell is he going to do now?
"I'm gonna go jump off a bridge," says the well-adjusted family man.

Senate OKs bill to raise minimum wage
Hartford — The Senate voted 21-15 Thursday to raise the hourly minimum wage to $8.70 from $8.25 on Jan. 1, 2014, and to $9 from $8.70 by Jan. 1, 2015.
"The very least we can do is pass this very modest increase to give them some increase starting in 2014 and a slight increment again in the following year," said Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven.
The bill was essentially Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's minimum wage proposal, not the one proposed by the Labor and Public Employees Committee. That panel's bill would have increased wages more substantially and continued to increase the wage based on the Consumer Price Index.
Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, the committee's co-chairman, announced the bill in the Senate and described how the price of food had increased with inflation, whereas wages had not. "I was looking at the old restaurant menu (of her parents' business) … from the early 1960s, and on it, an English muffin sold for 15 cents, and the minimum wage was $1.25 in 1963," she said.
Osten said she went to a couple of Norwich restaurants to find out how much the price of an English muffin had increased over the years due to inflation.
The Olde Tymes Restaurant charges $2.01 for an English muffin, and The Spa at Norwich Inn charges $7.50 for an English muffin with butter and jelly, she said. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, as English muffins have, the hourly minimum wage at those two establishments would be $12.44 an hour and $53 an hour, respectively, she said.
"We're not asking for $53 or $12.44 an hour or anything close to covering the cost of inflation over decades," Osten said. "We're asking for 75 cents an hour over two years."
Many Senate Republicans opposed the bill and said it would hurt businesses and result in job losses.
State Sen. Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said he supported increasing the minimum wage when he first joined the legislature in 2003. "We had a booming economy, a surplus in the state, and businesses were thriving," he said, adding that there's a huge difference today from a decade ago.
State Sen. Joe Markley, R-Plantsville, said, "I hope we all realize what a desperate situation we stand in here in the state of Connecticut."
State Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, and Looney, who supported the bill, argued that raising the minimum wage could help the economy.
Meyer said a report by the Economic Policy Institute stated that "raising the minimum wage means shifting profits from the employer, who is much less likely to spend money immediately, to the low-wage workers, who are much more likely to spend immediately, thus increasing the demand for services."
Consumer spending would lead to new jobs to keep up with increasing demand, Meyer said.
Osten, state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, and state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, all voted in favor of the bill.

Opponents of Amendment 64 say legalizing the recreational use of marijuana will make Colorado a drug mecca with a massive industry fueled by laws more liberal than those in the Netherlands.
Proponents say legalization will end the drug war, put the Mexican cartels out of business, and save millions of dollars the police and courts now spend on convicting and incarcerating pot users.

There still may have been snow covering the baseball practice field at Yreka High on Monday, but it was not a problem for the Yreka Miners.
The Yreka baseball program now has an indoor batting cage installed in the small gym at the high school.
Now, the team can begin hitting early and not wait until the weather improves or endure weather conditions where it can be difficult on some days to hold a bat for a long period of time.
Monday was the first day the batting cage was up. A second batting cage is expected to be put up sometime next week, head varsity baseball coach Jason Freitas said.
Senior Cody Hoff was ecstatic to be able to have batting practice so early.
"It's awesome," he said. "It's freezing outside."
Hoff said that getting an early start will help him and his teammates be more prepared when the season begins.
A total of 14 varsity and JV players showed up on the first day on Monday. Participation is voluntarily, Freitas said.
He was impressed that a good number of players showed up despite the first batting cage session being put on at the last minute. Freitas plans to continue to offer the indoor batting cages a few times during the week and hopefully on Saturday's on days when the gym is available this month and next month.
Freitas said the Miner baseball season begins on Feb. 28 at a tournament at Foothill High in Palo Cedro in the Redding area. Another highlight for this upcoming season, Freitas said, is the fact that the team is playing in a tournament the first week of April in Anaheim.
Freitas said that the baseball program has been looking for awhile for a way to have batting practices indoors and get a head start on the season. He said that the two indoor batting cages are being donated by Rick Swenson and Greg Pucker. He also thanked superintendent Mark Greenfield for suggesting the small gym at the high school as a good location to install the batting cages.
Last weekend, Freitas and head JV coach Brian Wagy went to work getting the needed equipment to put up the cages.
"It will help us to be able to be indoors and work on hitting individually," with the players, Freitas said. He added that while they have tried to hit outdoors in the winter, the number of days can be limited and the cold weather conditions does affect the players, "When it's cold it's miserable to hit," Freitas said.
This is Wagy's first year as head JV coach. He previously was the assistant varsity coach.
Last year's JV coach, Mike Luckey, is now in Wagy's old position with the varsity squad, Freitas said.
Wagy said that it's great to offer players who are interested the chance to get in more hitting time to help make "early adjustments."
"It's going to be a big help," Wagy said.
The Miners had a very successful season last year. Yreka earned the Northern Athletic League title for the first time since 2008 and made it all the way to the Northern Section Division 4 title game. Yreka finished the 2012 season 22-10.

About Ian Coble
Ian Coble, originally a student of anthropology, quickly realized he was spending all his time outside instead of in the classroom and decided to reevaluate his career path. Turning an eye toward his passion of skiing, he started carrying a hand-me-down SLR in his ski pack and sporadically snapping photos over the course of the day. When that started yielding shots that were running in the magazines, he committed his life to shooting photos of the sports he loved. A passionate outdoorsman, a skier, a biker, a lousy surfer, an amateur cook and a beer drinker, he calls Seattle his home with his wife, Karlee, and their lazy dog, Maddy.Website: http://www.iancoble.com

The BrikVerse is a really big place, filled with an ever expanding and motley collection of not only ideas made manifest but also the diverse personalities that make them so. Scattered across the space of a billion worlds and the infinite expanse of alternate dimensions and nether regions, they appear to give voice to the conceptual thoughts that, in turn, give rise to the incredible realities that collectively help shape the future of BrikWars.
Legends and Leaders
These are the creators of the BrikVerse, the leading voices that shape its reality, and the celebrities of the Far-Ums.

For good or ill, these are the crowd favorites of the Far-Ums, the faces and heels of the BrikVerse. Their opinions and thoughts hold weight and influence. Or, at the very least, they don't get ignored. Regardless of their fame, all have contributed in some significant fashion to the BrikWars canon or community.

BrikWarriors in the Universe
A BrikWarrior is a Human player of BrikWars. They have the option of participating in the Far-Ums, the BrikWars Chat, and the BrikWars BrikWiki.
The Rejected
These are the Humans that have been excluded from any of the above categories by the community or the leaders of the community.
SigFigs are the minifigure representations of Human personalities, their avatars within the BrikVerse so to speak. As with anything BrikWars, their development and evolution as a whole is chaotic and subject the whims of individual players and the needs of their particular stories. Many display powers above and beyond the ken of anything in the BrikVerse, even the powers of some deities, but this is not necessarily a defined feature of all SigFigs. The only truly defining feature outside of being an avatar is that they also represent awesomeness and are of an epic disposition. SigFigs are some of the most important characters in the BrikVerse and their deeds directly shape the narrative and canon of the community.
