Arghh! Come on you Cleveland doggies, you might have bean treated with a late/mid-night show, but that is no reason to sleep all morning and have us waiting for the setlist! Bring it on!!
when do you think the 'greatest hits live' dvd will be available?
I didn't keep a song by song list of the shows in Akron or Cleveland, but as far as I could tell he only repeated one song in Cleveland that he'd played in Akron (Make it Rain) - everything else was different. For example, during the piano/bass part of the set in Cleveland he played On the Nickel, Cemetary Polka and I Wish I Was in New Orleans (in Akron, it was Tango Til They're Sore, Tom Traubert's Blues and Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis). I hope someone has full lists of both those shows that they can post - I'd like to be able to remember better myself!
From Blackride.com
Lie To Me Baby (Cant' remember what its actually called, or if we've
figured it out yet)
Sins Of My Father
I went to the Akron show (but not Cleveland) and it did not disappoint! Beautiful old theater with an excited crowd. Show started around 8:35PM with the band walking in 1 x 1 from behind a brightly lit curtain behind the stage.
Tom was a true showman and put on a great show, and his band was awesome.
Towards the beginning of the show, Tom was really good at quieting down the "yellers." "I love you Tom" (his response was something like "I love you too babe, but let's talk about it later. All these people make it awkward."
Someone else yelled out something and he said "hey you're the guy that owes me money. you might want to keep quiet."
Then the piece de resistance, the idiot woman that had a banner she had brought with her. After holding it up numerous times with Tom failing to acknowledge it, she proceeeded to throw it on top of his piano in between songs. He made some comment about how "she returned the shirt he had left and even cleaned it" or something then threw it on the ground and kept playing.
This brings me to my only complaint, the yellers. As the show when on, the "yellers" seemed to get more emboldened and in between every song people would start screaming things at Tom, and I feel like it limited Tom's story telling because he couldn't get through all the yellers.
If you are a yeller, stand back and think about what you are doing. A, you are annoying all the non-yellers that paid good $$$ to hear Tom Waits and not you, and B, you are interrupting the flow of the musicians. I could understand if you were a 12 year old girl at a Dave Matthews show, but come on. Don't you realize you sound like an idiot? Great you can go home to your friends and say "Tom Waits acknowledged me." Get over yourself and keep your yap shut. Enough ranting.
I am not intimately familiar with Tom's work and didn't keep a setlist, but the first two songs were "Make It Rain" followed by "Hoist That Rag."
I believe the last two songs were "Day After Tomorrow" followed by "Sins Of My Father" to end the show.
In between (but not a complete list) among others, we heard "Tom Traubert's Blues", "Get Behind The Mule", "Shake It", "What's He Building", "Eyeball Kid", and "Dead And Lovely". That's all I remember, since I am still tired from the long drive.
Only songs I didn't hear I was hoping to hear (based on other setlists) were "House Where Nobody Lives" and "Going Out West".
Overall, great great night.
The person complaining about the yellers. I had a guy sitting directly behind me at the Louisville show who thought he would sing along with Tom. I didn't pay to listen to him. After 2 or 3 songs, I think he thought it wise to shut up. I was nearly at the point of turning around and telling him to shut up! Inconsiderate people!
From what I've heard, he didn't do a piano-only show, but a regular set.
I can't imagine, he would play many same songs in Akron as in Cleveland.
I spoke to his light-assistance in Memphis and she told me, they performed 42 titels in total.
2x 21 songs, could be it and so a great evening for everyone, who attended both shows!
I had some experience with yellers and sing-alongs, too, soo anoying. That one girl always smiled at her friend and kept saying things like "all the lame assholes here." She sat in the front row and danced and was always angry when people complained, that she was in their sight, she also sang along and on top of that, she did that noise to cheer, ririririr, something like that, I bet, you can hear it every 5 minutes on the chicago-bootleg.
Same happend in...Nashville I think. Some idiot girl kept dancing excessevly all the time, with her arms high above her body.
I hate those people who think they are fancy and the others are lame idiots, just because they don't bother the people around them with their outgoing-ego.
Akron was sweet. Jim Jarmusch was in the audience. He grew up in Akron, btw. 2 encores.
The provisional setlist confirms with my recollection, I think, but for the order of the first encore, which I believe was in this order:
Lie To Me
Auburn said...
first encore was
second was
falling down was the 6th song in before Tom's solo piano portion of the show I believe.
I feel like What's He Building was farther down towards the end of the set, and Eyeball Kid was up before the piano break but my mind could be foggy.
Akron's own, director Jim Jarmusch snuck in right before the show! He went right around me ( 3rd row by the way) and sat back like 15 rows center. I had better seats than Tom's good friend...Ha!
Only a few people knew who the heck he was....but those of us who did were pretty impressed.
Check out his films, Tom's in most of them.
What a GREAT SHOW !
Here's an attempt at a Cleveland setlist. I'll admit up front, I'm missing three titles, so if anybody wants to fill them in for me, I'd be much abliged.
Goin' Out West
219 (My Baby's Leaving on the)
-illegible setlist transcription, help!-
Big Black Mariah (!)
On the Nickel (after someone shouted for it)
Cemetery Polka
I Wish I was in New Orleans
Johnsburg, Illinois (!)
Metropolitan Glide
Heartattack and Vine/Spoonful Medley
It Rains on Me
Don't Go Into that Barn
-no one I was with new this one, help!-
Whistling Past the Graveyard
-he played one more here, I wish I could remember what, help!-
The second song of the 1st encore in Cleveland was Hank William's "Ramblin' Man".
He also played Buzz Flederjohn in the second encore. That might have been the final song.
Ramblin' Man was incredible!
Also played Way Down in the Hole early in Cleveland
I went to both shows and I had a great time at both of them. A few notes not covered.
In section II around row AA there was very nearly a fight that broke out. I wasn't prepared to see something like that at a Tom Waits show. It looked like several people were annoyed by someone that was talking and tempers flared fairly quickly. People began to scream at each other while Tom was playing piano and security had to come and have a talk with a young kid wearing a tie. It was a bizarre experience.
The tone of the Cleveland show was much different. While the Akron show was very much about being quiet, sitting down, and just taking it in, the Cleveland show was very loose and everyone was having a great time. I was overjoyed to be at both, but I have to say I had a better time at the House of Blues.
From the guy who posted House of Blues setlist. Yes, those setlist additions all sound right. "Way Down in the Hole" was the third song. "Hole" turned out to look like "Alone," "Move," and "Mule" on my notes, none of which made any sense so I'm glad it's cleared up. And yes, "Buzz" closed the evening.
I was at both shows last night and, though I'm paying the price for it at work this morning, it was an incredible night. The House of Blues show was a logistical catastrophe. There were 1200 people trying to get into the venue with only will call tickets. The line stretched down the front of building, around the corner and down another street, around the next corner and down the next street. I arrived from Akron to get in line at about 11:15 or so and finally got in the venue shortly after 1. The show didn't start til 1:20 or so. The crowd was excellent, much more raucous and "into it" than other shows I saw this tour. The set was a normal full set instrumentally with all 5 guys on stage. I have the setlist running as so:
2:19 (My Baby's Leaving on the)
Way Down In the Hole
Big Black Mariah
On the Nickel
Johnsburg, Illinois
Ramblin' Man (Hank Williams cover)
Buzz Flederjohn
Both shows were great. I just think House of Blues had no idea what they were getting themselves into by trying to have doors at 11 and the show at 12.
A (slightly) more accurate Akron setlist:
God's Away on Business
Tango Til They're Sore (piano)
Xmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (piano)
Tom Traubert's Blues (piano)
(unsure about exact order of the next 5, but I think this is right)
Sins of the Father (with Wade in the Water at the end)
An interesting side note -- my wife (who had imbibed a little too voraciously before the show) was going outside for some fresh air toward the end of the night when she spotted a guy who worked at the theater. She asked if he could get her one of the concert posters. He was going to do it, but was overruled by one of his supervisers. Just so happens that one of the tour bus drivers was exiting at the same time, heard the exchange, and invited my wife back to the bus. He gave her a "Orphans Tour - Local Crew" tee shirt and a big poster stamped with "Sold Out."
So she's calling my cell phone every two minutes to tell me to get my ass out back and I can't hear her 'cause I'm watching the show. Then AFTER the show as I'm fiddling around inside trying to get a set list, my wife sees Jim Jarmusch walk by the bus, so she opens the door and goes after him to say hi, but misses him (apparently he'd gotten on the "real" bus, which was behind the one my wife was in). So the bus driver comes over to my wife and says "Do you realize you just hit Tom in the back with the bus door?" She turns around and he's already gone.
So yep, that's my story. Had I stepped out of the theater so that I could hear my wife on the phone, Tom could have had the pleasure of meeting me instead of getting whacked in the back by her.
Show-wise, Tom is great and it was a thrill to finally see him, but I was sorely disappointed in the band. No energy, no dynamics. I realize that Tom is the focal point, but come on, in a mostly-blues set like that, the band has to step it up and complement the lead singer better.
By the way -- 'sup, Bake. 'sup, Simon.
First of all, great show - my first ever - and I was hypnotized the whole time. I was lucky enough to have seats ten rows back! A few other notes:
Ditto on Eyeball Kid being the first song after the piano/bass section.
In the first three songs, I couldn't tell if Duke kept dropping his pick or was simply making adjustments, but he kept bending down and when stood, looked frustrated.
Haven't seen anyone mention this, but for those of you interested in Tom's witty stage banter, at the beginning of the piano section he explained: "I went to the Goodyear museum." (Blimp/rubber=Akron.) "Why? Because every time something important in my life happens, a blimp passes by overhead...The first time I robbed a gas station..." and I forget the second one he said. He also told a funny story about a hot dog joint where the waitresses were supposed to be mean to you. This sounded like a spin on a familiar joke. But both were hilarious.
Tom is just ridiculously magnetic. Live, his on-stage gesticulations are kind of economical; he doesn't jump around half as much as these dudes in other bands, but you can't stop looking and listening. The piano section was just beautiful.
I agree that the backing band was a little too laid back. Duke's playing was never thrilling except for a few leads, but it was always 'right'. Casey's drumming was steady if nothing else. Larry Taylor and the guy playing vibes/percussion really stood out to me.
The Cleveland set list looks incredible. Wish I could have gone.
Oh, and Falling Down was indeed after God's Away. Pretty sure about that.
Re: the fight that broke out in Orchestra II...yeah, that was not the place to be sitting. The three people next to us (BB) and two people in the row in front of us (AA) had no interest in, you know, shutting up and watching the show, at all. Given the venue, it was a major distraction and annoyance on what otherwise would've been a great night. And yes, during Tom Traubert's Blues, two people in row Z freaked out at the talkers, at one point turning around and choking the young man. Obviously not the best way to deal with it. Just an unfortunate place to be seated.
Re: the talkers in back row during Tom's Blues....I heard the ruckus, and thought it was becuase Tom flubbed the lyrics on one of the verses...did I imagine that, or did he kinda forget some words and sing part of a prior verse in it's place?
troubadour said...
for anyone there at the show, how was his version of hank sr.'s "ramblin man." I mean, did he do some of the highs, or was it "flattened" to suit his voice. Too, was his voice getting really rough, or was he on. I'm saw him in Atlanta, and his voice was incredible.
here's those last five at the Akron show, in order...
What's he building?
Cause of it all/Til the money runs out
That's the last five before the encores?
What an incredible show. I've been waiting my whole life to see Tom Waits, and can't believe I just saw him a few miles from my house.
I had always pictured him just sitting at a piano and telling stories like on the Nighthawks at the Diner disc, but seeing him take the mic and rock out on his newer material was really cool. I was completely captivated the entire night.
I own Real Gone, but have to admit it's an album I haven't listened to much. But after hearing him play tomorrow and rain it's all i've been able to listen to today.
I really missed the horn on Tango til there sore, and the rice covered snare on shore leave off the albums in a way. But it was also cool to hear him strip down some of the old songs and make due with the limited number of musicians he had with him.
Just curious, did tom play accordian on any of the tour?? I love his accordian playing on some of the songs on swordfishtrombone and frank's wild years; but was disappointed he didn't break one out at any time during last nights set.
don't forget he played waltzing matilda.
The song know as "Waltzing Mathilda" is actually called Tom Traubert's Blues
waltzing matilda is trauberts blues....
anyways great show...in akron i never thought he would stop...!!! wow.
Actually waltzing Matilda is Tom Traubert's Blues.
I concur -- absolutely amazing evening!
Cracker said...
About the accordion -- I first saw Waits shortly after he filmed Big Time. I don't think he actually plays accordion (although somebody out there may prove me wrong.) He had an incredible accordion player on the early 90's tour -- same guy I think that he played with in the movie Big Time.
I live here in the SF Bay Area. Maybe he'll play to his home town crowd sometime soon -- maybe after his Orphans hit the street!
amyinlimbo said...
in the goodyear blimp museum story, the second blimp fly-by was "the first time i killed an endangered species..."
The name of the Howlin' Wolf song that Tom played during the Akron show is called "Who's Been Talkin." It was part of the medley that included til the money runs out....I believe he also included another song of his from Blue Valentine, possibly "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard," in the medley as well. I recognized the words but was unable to write them down due to the fact this was the greatest show ever (it was my first Tom show). But yeah, I'm sure of the Wolf song because I'm listening to it right now...
For the hank question, I can say that he tried to do most of the height if not everyone of them but he began to have somme difficulty with his voice at this time so the pitch wasn't really accurate but it was a real good version, the arrangements where just my taste.
And I must say thanks to everyone who where wearing hats (little clones of tom) it's very nice for the ones behind you and the 2 or 3 next rows who must deal with the guy behind you trying to see the band each side of your hat.
Eyeball Kid, yeah, those were the last five songs before the two encores. the rest of the setlist is spot on.
I was in Akron last night ( my first Tom sighting live) and I was a good girl and didnt bring recording/camera stuff in. Does any one have a nice photo of Tom that night?
I want to put it by my ticket and
frame it.
Even thru the hats, the unwanted kareoke,20 trips to the bathroom by drunk people in my row,
Tom was brilliant
To FRANK: If you really were aware of who Jarmusch was, you'd know that Waits doesn't play in MOST of his films, but only in three of them: Down by law (1986), Mystery train (1989)(only his voice)and Coffee and cigarettes (2003)(only in one segment of it). So stop being a smartass and stop looking down on people who didn't recognize him.
JP Thank You. But please Give the guy a break he was excited. As I would have been.
Great, fun show in Akron.
I'd just add that during Dead and Lovely, Tom flubbed (or maybe just modified?) the final verse with something like:
what's lost can never be broken
three times broken, it's really broken
but now she's dead
Great show, well worth the drive from DC. Have to agree that it was a little more laid back than what I'm used to (the Chicago show for Mule Variations had much more of a carny vibe).
Was surprised there weren't more screamers actually, but there's not much point in complaining about them. Kinda like being angry about getting sand in your shorts when you go to the beach. It kinda comes with the territory. And Tom's been dealing with these folks for over 30 years, he's a pro.
And it didn't suprise me that there was a fight either, considering the amount of booze being carried back and forth up the aisles. The tinkling of the spilled beer bottles was kinda irritating, though. As well as the constant stream of people going to the potty to pee their beer out. Hot tip folks, it's called a pint of scotch. You know what to do.
Fortunately the folks in my section were pretty laid back (no loud singers, talkers, fighters, or cellphoners). Just a broad bunch of fans, from teenagers to quite a few graying hipsters. And a few long-suffering girlfriends who seemed to be there as payback for their boyfriends having to go shoe shopping with them. But he had everybody clapping together for Clap Hands. Beautiful.
I agree with monkeyrotica about the singers/talkers/yellers. I think we have all been to shows where some 'blues hag', dancing out of context, thinks shes part of the entertainment. Cellphone idiots that have to check their messages or talk during the quiet songs. How about the ear piercing whistlers, etc. I always liked to think that Tom Waits fans were a little more enlightened about that shit (the majority is), but unfortunately there is always a few in the crowd that don't get it.
what I liked most about yellers and other kind of idiocy was the way Waits seemed to lightly scorn 'em
Re: Jarmusch.
Actually, it seemed to me that a lot of people recognized Jarmusch. He came out from backstage and walked down the aisle and the entire front section craned their necks backwards to see him. I was lucky enough to be in the front row, so I had a good vantage point to witness this. Then he slapped hands with a few people on the aisles. I got the impression that most people knew who he was.
I'd like to agree that the band, although adequate, was very dull and disappointing, lacking any sort of spirit at all. I was lucky to see Tom on the Mule tour and that show had so much more spark and charisma. Duke is clearly no Smokey Hormel or Marc Ribot, although the vibe this time around was more of a laid back bluesy show so it was sort of appropriate. The Mule tour was much more hardcore newer style Waits, and even Tom was much more animated in general, looking sort of like a deranged marionnete that had rebelled against it's maker. Still, both the Akron and Cleveland sets were very enjoyable albeit a bit different than I expected. I really do think that the in-house mix for both shows was very poor, though. You could barely hear Larry Taylor which is sort of tragic, and the music in general was very quiet in comparison to Tom's voice. Many songs were really missing that edgy guitar sound that we all are used to love on the albums.
I agree that it was the lack of edginess of the guitar playing and Tom's less-spirited-than-usual demeanor that kind of drug down the shows. Beware of saying anything remotely "anti" on this blog, though, you risk being called a "Moron Non-Fan," as I was, by another blogger!
sorry for the delay but I just now have the time to post this -- i took down this set list as it happened at the Akron show:
[at piano]Tango til they're sore
[at piano] Xmas card from a hooker...
[at piano] Tom Traubert's blues
What's he building in there
'Til the money runs out
Encore 1:
Lie to me [cover]
Clap hands [audience clapped along]
Sins of my father [ending with verses from the american hymn "Wade in the water"]
(and yes, in "Dead and Lovely" he made that error in lyrics & commented about 3 times broken per someone's earlier post)
Was at the Akron show and it truly was awesome. My girlfriend and I were exstatic when we got to our seats -- 12 rows back and dead center. The two next to us were vacant until right before the show, when who comes and sits next to us but Jim Jarmusch. He was a real gentleman and treated everyone who came up to him really well.
Ur, I meant ecstatic. Or "really great" if you don't like fancy words.
Old lady said...
I was reading the posts and noticed one referring to me -- I believe it was that I was an idiot because I was waving a banner (it was a shirt) and Tom wasn't paying attention to me. Throwing the shirt to him was a spur of the moment action not calculated to bother other viewers by acting "the idiot". Also, another suggested Tom treated his fans with scorn -- I don't believe so. I'm sure Tom would love singing to a room full of silent fans who wouldn't so much as tap their foot to the tune, who wouldn't yell out in the excitedment and happiness of being at a Tom Waits concert; actually he would probably prefer we fans not even laugh at his jokes. Unfortunately, (for some concert goers) there are those like myself who become caught up in the moment. Folks who can't handle fans who sing along, those who dance, "idiots" like myself (not quite sure of my sin), those who hoot, holler, whistle, etc. might want to stay at home and listen to their c.d.s and leave the concerts for those of us who get carried away with excitement, and that way there is no concern that they will have to be offended and deal with us idiots. Because we're not going anywhere. Thanks -- by the way, I was close enough to see his nose hair.
I wouldn't worry about that too much. I too found many of the talkers/yellers annoying, but saw you throw the shirt up on stage and didn't think anything of it. Like you, I was totally lost in the show and completely caught up.
Thanks -- it was disturbing to see myself referred to as an idiot. I really thought we Tom Waits fans were a little more of a fraternity and just was amazed someone would be so nasty at something like my throwing a shirt up on stage.
live music said...
Some of these posts are bizarre. It's a concert for godsakes! It's not a movie theatre! And certainly it's not a recording studio.
"Those screaming fans ruined my bootleg!"
How do you think Tom feels about the dozen or so bootlegs circulating the world from this tour?
People get excited, I'm sure it wasn't The Beatles at Shea Stadium where you couldn't hear anything.
Music has always been about the shared experience and celebrating life.
You "Ned Flanders types" should stay home and listen to your CDs with some earbuds stuffed in your ears.
I saw Greg Brown a few months ago in Cleveland @ The Beachland Ballroom on a Sunday.
It was absolutely the worst live performance & environment I have ever been in. Everyone sat in chairs like gradeschool and the room had all the joy and excitement of a Wake for a dead pedophile. Really sad.
I love Tom Waits and sure, I'd like to catch every word and all. But Waits is an entertainer & witty improvisor too, don't you think he riffs on stuff from his audiences?

Scientific Abstract 19 - 2014
Pulmonary Complications Adversely Affect Long-term Mortality Following Descending and Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Repair
Konstadinos Plestis, Oleg Orlov, Carlos Padula, Mostafa Sadek, Li Zhang, Lankenau Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA
OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary complications are common following the repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA), respectively. This study aimed to determine the effects of postoperative pulmonary complications on the surgical outcomes.
METHODS: Retrospective medical records review was conducted in patients underwent DTAA or TAAA repair between 1998- 2011. The two indexes, including 1) the prolonged ( ‰¥48 hours) ventilatory support (PVS), and 2) tracheostomy were used as the measures of clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: There were 206 patients (age 63 ±12 years, 61.7% male) with 148 (71.8%) underwent TAAA and 58 (28.2%) DTAA repairs. Post operative pulmonary complications developed in 102 patients (49.5%). PVS was necessary in 88 (42.7%), and tracheostomy in 24 (11.7%) patients. The 30-day mortality rate was 8.3% whereas the long term mortality was 29.2% with a mean follow-up of 5.5 ±3.5 years. PVS was a univariate predictor of long-term mortality (p<0.01), and tracheostomy was a univariate predictor of in-hospital mortality (p<0.01). Seven year survival rate for patients requiring PVS vs. those who did not was 50% vs.75% (p<0.001). Seven year survival for patients with tracheostomy vs. those without was 38% vs. 68% (p<0.0001)
CONCLUSION: Tracheostomy was a significant predictor of short and long-term mortality. PVS was a significant predictor of long-term mortality. These complications adversely affected the long-term survival of patients after DTAA and TAAA repair.

The Snow Wolf Alpha Series had a sectional blade, with a 10-foot main blade and optional 1-foot sections to extend the blade to 12 feet. The blade has a dual pivot A-frame, twice the strength of the industry standard single pivot. Built-in oscillation allows the blade to follow contours for the cleanest job possible. The Alpha Series also has a trip edge to protect machine and operator from obstacles hidden under snow. Snow Wolf has made this trip edge in two sections, so the entire blade doesn't trip. Full down-pressure can be applied. This blade is designed to take the abuse of bigger equipment, featuring continuous welded construction and weights of 175 pounds per foot.
A new hand-held Fish-Stik control and a bracket-mounted joystick option are now available for the FISHER EZ-V adjustable V-Plow. One key feature for the new control is that each function has its own button. Also, there is no need to use multiple buttons for straight-blade mode. The buttons are back-lit for night use.
Meyer Products Inc. offers both polyethylene and steel snowplows; however, they recommend the Meyer Max polyethylene snowplow for those serious about plowing because it's more slippery, it's stronger and it won't rust. The slippery surface allows snow to roll off the plow instead of being pushed or caked on the front of the blade, saving wear and tear on your truck and money on gas. Polyethylene also resists punctures and dents.
Plow wings are now available for the 7.5- 8-, 8.5- and 9-foot ProPlus line of snowplows from WESTERN. The options wings add up to 30 percent more carrying capacity and reduce trail-off. There is no installation required. A single pin results in quick attach and detach.
Hiniker Company introduced its split trip-edge Scoop Plow. The unique concave shape of the Scoop Plow captures snow, providing greater capacity, less spillage and faster, more efficient plowing. The Scoop Plow's 20-degree fixed-angle outer ends help the plow capture snow, making it ideal for clearing lots and parking areas. The plow also angles left and right to allow for conventional plowing applications. Available in 8- and 9-foot lengths, the Hiniker Scoop Plow features a high-impact polyethylene moldboard that creates a low-friction, corrosion-free plowing surface. A horizontally trussed moldboard frame supports the poly moldboard. The moldboard frame is strengthened by twelve laser-cut ribs.

Common Stock vs. Preferred Stock: What's the Difference?
In the stock market there are two broad types of stock -- common stock and preferred stock. While they're both called stock, they operate much differently from one another and have very different potentials for profit. Each has a different risk profile and may be suitable for different kinds of investors.
While the name "preferred stock" suggests that it might be the more popular choice, there are many more common stocks than preferred stocks. However, in any case, you can buy both common stock and preferred stock at any brokerage. But before you jump in and buy either, you'll want to understand their key differences.
What is common stock?
When investors talk about "stock," they're almost always talking about a company's common stock, and they simply drop the "common" because it's unusual for a company to have preferred stock. All those reports you hear about a 3% rise at Company X are referring to common stock and never about preferred stock. In fact, the price of preferred stock rarely budges at all. And the major indexes -- the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Nasdaq Composite -- all consist of common stocks, too.
Common stock is the most typical vehicle companies use for equity financing to raise money for their businesses. A company issues common stock in an initial public offering, or IPO, which is a company's first time selling stock to the public, giving buyers an ownership stake in the business in exchange for cash. A company may subsequently issue more stock in a follow-on stock offering if it needs cash for some other reason, such as to acquire assets or otherwise expand. As owners, stockholders have the right to vote in any shareholders' meetings, such as the annual meeting, as well as any other votes that arise. They also have the right to receive dividends, if the company pays them.
It's worth reiterating this point: The holders of the company's common stock have an ownership stake in the business and can enjoy the privileges of ownership, including any gains in the stock price.
In fact, a rising stock price is one of the two main ways common-stock ownership can reward owners, the other being cash dividends. Unlike preferred stock, common stock in a growing and successful company will tend to rise over time. Such a company is increasing its profit, and so it's creating value. Investors see the value being created, and when they anticipate even more in the future, they bid up the stock. The best stocks have returned more than 20% annually for decades, a truly amazing record. Even the S&P 500 index, consisting of the top American companies, has averaged a 10% annual return over time.
Cash dividends are the other way common stocks reward shareholders. A cash dividend is typically paid quarterly to investors who hold the stock as of a certain date. The annual dividend is typically no more than about a few percent of the stock price. However, the best American companies keep the payout growing over time, sometimes by as much as 10% annually. Many investors buy only dividend-paying common stocks, because they tend to be more stable than stocks held for capital gains.
Why do companies like common stock?
Companies use common stock as a way to relatively quickly raise a lot of capital, sometimes billions of dollars. So common stock allows companies to expand quickly and potentially have an advantage over smaller, private companies with less financing. In addition, having a common stock listed on an exchange gives companies a potential source of funds if they need to raise money in the future. They can often turn to the market and sell more stock in a follow-on offering. That access to funding creates stability and provides a higher level of prestige for the company and its employees.
To understand another reason companies like common stock, you have to understand something about the other major way for a company to raise money: issuing debt. When a company sells a bond, it promises to pay a preset amount of interest annually for the life of the bond and then repay the bond's principal when the bond matures. Debt can be a risky way to finance a company, because if the company is unable to pay the interest it owes, the company can go bankrupt and forfeit all its assets.
With common stock, however, a company has no such financial obligations. It doesn't even have to pay a dividend. So a company financed only with common stock and no debt won't go bankrupt. That's much safer for the company, but it's much more risky for shareholders, who are not promised any return at all, in contrast to a bond, with which they're promised some level of annual return.
If shareholders are dissatisfied with the return they're receiving on their stock, they can either sell the stock or try to change the management team. The latter course of action is tremendously difficult and often requires having many dissatisfied shareholders work en masse to dislodge management.
Why do investors like common stock?
The biggest reason investors like common stock is for its potential to make its owners wealthy. Because stockholders are owners of the company, they enjoy the stream of profit the company earns, although they aren't able to take it out of the business. Investors look for companies that are likely to succeed in the future, establishing dominant positions in thriving industries. Such businesses are likely to grow their earnings, and their stocks are likely to rise in the future, often many times in value. A successful company held for decades could even return an investor's initial investment hundreds of times.
In addition to capital gains, many common stocks also pay a cash dividend. Dividend-distributing companies are particularly popular among investors who need regular cash income today and don't want to wait for a stock to go up (or down) in the future. Dividend stocks are particularly popular with retirees, and the best ones -- those that have a well-covered dividend and can increase it over time -- are great because they offset the effects of inflation, which diminishes the purchasing power of money.
Common stocks also have a tax advantage over preferred stocks. The investor isn't liable for taxes on any capital gains until the common stock is sold. The stock could be held for decades tax-free, increasing in value many times. However, any dividend the company pays will incur a tax. You can't win 'em all.
What is preferred stock?
While it carries the moniker "stock," preferred stock is much more like a bond than a stock. Like a bond, preferred stock pays set distributions on a regular schedule, usually quarterly. It also has a par value, typically $25 per share -- the price at which the company can redeem the preferred stock -- compared to a bond's par value of $1,000. Finally, like a bond, preferreds tend to be sensitive to interest rates, falling when rates rise and vice versa. The prices of already-issued bonds and preferred stocks rise as interest rates fall, because these investments pay relatively better than newer lower-yielding assets. Conversely, when rates rise, already-issued bonds and preferred stocks are relatively less attractive.
So why is it called preferred stock? Because whenever the company pays dividends or other distributions, preferred stock receives its full payout before common stock receives anything, but after the company's bonds receive their payout and anything else they're due. If the company is unable to pay a distribution on the preferreds, then common stock receives no payout and will continue to receive no payout until the preferred stock receive its due. This seniority structure makes this class of stock preferred over common.
But while preferreds and bonds share some similarities, preferreds have some other interesting features that investors should be aware of.
Preferreds often pay more than a company's bonds. That's because they're perceived as being riskier than the bonds. And it's true, because preferred stock receives distributions only if the bonds receive their payouts. But riskier doesn't necessarily mean risky. For example, the bonds and preferred stock of a highly rated company can both be considered safe, even though the preferreds are relatively riskier than the bonds.
Preferreds can be perpetual. Unlike bonds, preferreds can remain issued in perpetuity, with no maturity date. In other words, they can remain outstanding forever. For a company that needs permanent capital, this feature can be useful. Because preferred stocks can be perpetual, the company may never redeem the stock, meaning the owner can hold it indefinitely, enjoy the payout, and not risk it being bought back.
Dividends can be skipped and postponed indefinitely. One of the most unusual features on preferreds is that the issuing company can skip the dividend, and it can do so indefinitely. That will cause the preferred stock to drop in value, and it will mean the common stock won't receive a dividend. But it's not a default, as it would be with a bond.
Preferred dividends can be cumulative or non-cumulative. If a company does decide to skip a dividend, it may or may not have to pay that dividend back later. That depends on whether the preferred stock is cumulative or non-cumulative. Cumulative stocks require the issuing company to pay all missed dividends, while non-cumulative stocks don't have this provision.
These features make preferred stocks a much different beast from bonds.
Which industries typically use preferreds?
Very few companies use preferred stocks, and they're only usual in a few industries. The most typical industries are real estate investment trusts (REITs), banks, insurance companies, utilities, and master limited partnerships.
Many financials rely on non-cumulative preferred stock to fund themselves, and preferreds are a useful option because they don't count as a liability but as equity. That means a bank can bolster its equity even though it's issuing what is essentially a debt-like security.
Among REITs, it's much more common to see cumulative preferreds. These REIT preferreds are especially attractive because REITs exist only to distribute their earnings as a dividend. So the REIT has to get into serious trouble before it cancels the dividend. If the company's performance is weakening, it can often issue new common stock to buy more property, potentially hurting the dividend on common stock but improving the dividend coverage of the preferred stock.
Why do companies like preferred stock?
Preferred stock is an attractive financing vehicle for companies because it gives them a lot of flexibility:
Since preferreds can be perpetual, they can potentially offer permanent capital for a company.
They also allow the company to miss a payment without causing a default.
Since preferreds are considered equity and not debt, they don't usually count against a company's debt ratios and actually improve them.
If they're past their call date -- the earliest date the company can redeem them at par value, typically five years for new issues -- preferreds can be refinanced, so if the interest rate is lower at the time, a company can move down to an even lower rate, potentially in perpetuity.
If there's a downside for companies using preferreds, it's that preferreds pay dividends after tax, so all those payouts are not tax-deductible. However, that's not really a problem in the REIT world, where there's little or no tax anyway. And it's another reason REITs issue preferreds.
Why do investors like preferred stock?
Preferred stock is popular with investors for one main reason: The yield is high. But there are others:
In addition to the high yield, preferreds are less risky than dividends on common stocks, because they get paid before.
Preferred stock doesn't get diluted , as does common stock, so preferreds are less risky than common. Dilution occurs when a company issues common stock and buys assets that earn less than they should, hurting the value of all the common stock and the potential future return. With preferred stock, however, the company has an obligation to pay the dividend, and issuing more preferreds doesn't remove that obligation.
In companies that exist to pay dividends, management can always issue more common stock to shore up earnings, a move that helps the preferreds even if it hurts the common stock.
One major downside to preferreds is that companies can refinance them just as they're paying attractive relative yields. In other words, when interest rates are low, preferreds past their call date can be expected to be refinanced at lower rates. In addition, preferreds have limited upside and typically will not appreciate much higher than par value.
Common stock vs. preferred stock -- Which kind of stock is right for you?
So let's sum up some of the key difference in what an investor can expect from owning each of these stock types.
While there are always exceptions to these guidelines -- for example, preferred stock purchased at a substantial discount to par value can rise significantly, but not usually higher than par -- this table lays out the key distinctions between the two classes of stock.
How do investors buy common stock or preferred stock?
Investors can buy either type of stock through any online stock broker. The key difference is in the ticker symbols, with preferred stocks having a specific type of symbol to differentiate them from common stock.
While a company usually issues only one kind of common stock, it may issue many different series of preferred stocks. These series are named after the letters of the alphabet, starting with A. Each series has its own specific terms, conditions, and expirations, so you have to know which exact series you want to purchase. As you're entering your order at the broker, be careful that you've entered the right ticker.
Take the REIT Public Storage (NYSE: PSA), for example. It's listed on the New York Stock Exchange and has a three-letter ticker, typical for stocks listed there. (Stocks listed on the Nasdaq usually have a four-letter symbol.) The company also has many series of preferred stocks, too, and they're listed on the same exchange. The preferred tickers use the base symbol for the common stock -- here PSA -- and then adds a suffix to distinguish the preferred series. For example, Yahoo Finance shows the following:
PSA -- for the common stock
PSA-PD -- for Series D preferred stock
PSA-PE -- for Series E preferred stock
PSA-PW -- for Series W preferred stock
And the list goes on, because Public Storage is one of the most prolific issuers of preferreds.
It's also worth noting that brokers use various suffixes to designate preferred stocks. While Yahoo! Finance uses "-PD", one broker might use "-D" or ".D" or even "PRD" to indicate the same Series D preferred stock. It can become confusing, especially if you use more than one broker to buy preferreds.
As with all investments, whether common stock or preferred stock (or both) is right for you depends on your financial situation, your temperament, and your needs. Common stock is great for those who have a long time horizon and many years before they'll want to use any capital gains from their investment, whereas preferred stock is better for investors who need dividend income now or in the immediate future. Of course, if you want a little of both, you can build a portfolio that suits you best.

Эрнст Леопольд Кристиан Мильк (; ,  — , ) — финский композитор.

Биография
Сын немецкого предпринимателя Теодора Вильгельма Милька (1854—1914), торговца зерном и владельца мельницы, и его жены Ирены (1857—1925), урождённой Фабрициус, сестры композитора Эрнста Фабрициуса. По линии матери троюродный брат композитора Ильмари Крона.

В десятилетнем возрасте начал учиться игре на фортепиано у выборгского педагога Альберта Титце (Albert Tietze; 1818—1904). В 14 лет поступил в берлинскую Консерваторию Штерна, где его педагогами были Генрих Эрлих (фортепиано), Арно Клеффель (композиция), Роберт Радеке и Людвиг Бусслер (теория). С 1895 года частным образом также занимался композицией под руководством Макса Бруха.

Осенью 1894 г. дебютировал в Выборге как пианист, исполнив Первый фортепианный концерт Феликса Мендельсона и выступив в составе фортепианного трио с Францем Гильдебрандом и Александром Вержбиловичем, также аккомпанировал на нескольких концертах певице Айно Акте. Этим же годом датировано первое сочинение Милька — Романс для виолончели и фортепиано. Основной корпус сочинений Милька — десять пронумерованных опусов, созданных в 1895—1899 гг., центральное место среди них занимает симфония фа минор Op. 4 (1897), в том же году с большим успехом исполненная в Хельсинки оркестром под управлением Роберта Каянуса. Годом позже в Берлине в исполнении Берлинского филармонического оркестра под управлением Йозефа Ребичека прозвучали та же симфония, Драматическая увертюра Op. 6 и концертштюк для фортепиано с оркестром ми минор Op. 9 (солировал автор).

Мильк умер от туберкулёза, не дожив двух дней до своего 22-летия. Биографический очерк о нём, написанный , был опубликован под названием «Короткая жизнь художника» (; 1901).

Сестра композитора — Эдда Аделаида Эрнроот, урождённая Мильк, оперная певица. Брат, Эдоард Юлиус Мильк (1879—1925), архитектор и предприниматель, основал в Выборге производство поныне популярных в Финляндии овсяных хлопьев .

Great write-up! I loved this documentary too. Jodorowsky is such an interesting fellow!
One of my favorite films of the year and easily on my top ten list.'m in the camp that says if his Dune was ever made it would've been awful big time. It would've been visually stunning, but I think Jodorowsky's narrative style as a director doesn't mesh well with Herbert's Dune.
Oh my god, I didn't know this. Imagine how amazing Lynch's version would have been.
Yeah, I wonder what his version of the Ewoks would have been like!

Q: Inverse Derivative: Error/Intuition Problem is to find $[f^{-1}(4)]'$ given $f(x)=\frac{x^3+7}{2}$.
Way One: Switch $x$ and $y$ to find inverse function. So, $x=\frac{y^3+7}{2}$. Therefore, $\sqrt[3]{2x-7}=y$ (i.e. our inverse function). So, $f^{-1}(x)=(2x-7)^{\frac{1}{3}}$. So, $\frac{d}{dx}f^{-1}(x)=\frac{2}{3}(2x-7)^{-\frac{2}{3}}\implies \frac{d}{dx}f^{-1}(4)=\frac{2}{3}.$
Way Two: Switch $x$ and $y$ to find inverse function. So, $x=\frac{y^3+7}{2}\implies 2x=y^3+7\implies 2=3y^2\frac{dy}{dx}\implies \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}y^2}=\frac{dy}{dx}$.
Now, this to me seems like the inverse function is $\frac{d}{dx}f^{-1}|_{x=3}=\frac{dy}{dx}|_{x=3}=\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}y^2}$ when $x=3$ we know $y=f(3)$ which isn't our answer. So, what am I doing wrong here? Can someone explain what is incorrect with this reasoning? I feel like I am missing something when doing these problems.

A: It was tricky for me too so I started doing these problems the following way. You know that $f(f^{-1}(x)) = x$ so differentiating both sides gives you $$f'(f^{-1}(x)) \cdot \frac{d}{dx} f^{-1}(x) = 1 \implies \frac{d}{dx} f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x)) }.$$ Now $f^{-1}(4) = 1$ so $$\frac{d}{dx} f^{-1}(4) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(4)) } = \frac{1}{f'(1)} = \frac{1}{3(1)^2/2} = \frac{2}{3}.$$

A: You already know that after switching variables
\begin{align*}
\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}y^2}\tag{1}
\end{align*}
Since we want to know $\left(f^{-1}(4)\right)^{\prime}$ we obtain again after switching variables from $x=\frac{y^3+7}{2}$ evaluated at $x=4$:

\begin{align*}
4&=\frac{y^3+7}{2}\\
8&=y^3+7\\
y&=1
\end{align*}
putting it into (1) we get
\begin{align*}
\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|_{y=1}&=\left.\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}y^2}\right|_{y=1}
\color{blue}{=\frac{2}{3}}
\end{align*}
in accordance with the first way.

Note: It might be easier to calculate way two without switching variables after all.

Funcom Launches Free-to-Play Secret World Legends With New Trailer
ffronw
1 POSTED: 26 Jun 2017 12:48
Funcom's MMO The Secret World has re-launched as shared-world RPG Secret World Legends, and there's a new trailer.
Funcom launched The Secret World, a supernatural MMO, back in 2012. Although the game showed promise, it failed to find the commercial success that Funcom was hoping for. Rather than ditch the game, Funcom decided to take the premise, rebuild and rework it, and re-launch it as Secret World Legends. You can still play the original MMO, and now you can play Secret World Legends as well.
The new shared-world RPG launched today, and Funcom says it features "well over 100 hours of story-driven content." You can play through the game on your own, or you team up with friends.
Executive Producer Scott Junior says of the new game, "From the ambitious scale of its storytelling to the quality of quest design and voice acting, Secret World Legends delivers an experience unlike any other you can find in gaming. It's a captivating journey into the unknown with an adult setting and tone perfect for fans of deep, rewarding RPGs. And if you want, you can experience all of it with friends and strangers in this huge online world we've built. Or you can go at it alone - it's completely up to you."
You can get all the info on Secret World Legends, sign up to play for free, and download the client over at the game's official site. It will also be available on Steam, but not until July 31.
The Rogue Wolf
The original was interesting... at first, but eventually gave in to the usual MMO trappings and DLC paywalls. I might have to take a look at this little offshoot later.
aceman67
I find it hilarious that even today, My local walmart is STILL selling this game for CAD$60.
Setch Dreskar
The Rogue Wolf:
Don't, it still has the soul in it but whoa boy is it a terrible experience to play now. The combat system is far worse, littered with RNG, lucky boxes are everywhere, dungeons don't drop loot anymore just lucky boxes that need keys to open, the game is classed based [sort of, you can change if you were a legacy account or grind to unlock a new weapon], and free to play restrictions are pretty severe.
Dalisclock
So how did they change it with Legends?
I still have a vague interest in this game. If it had been single player oriented, I would have no doubt snapped it up when it came out. I even tried it at a friends house(who was playing it and trying to get me to make an account) but it didn't do anything for me.
Reqviemus
Mostly the combat. It's now reticule based and, while still not great, feels much better than before.
Plus all of the story content that was charged extra before is now free, only cosmetics and boosters and such are paid extra.
If you have interest in the setting and the story (this is the main draw of the game), give it a go.
CellShaded
Maybe I can motivate some of my pals to give it a spin.
Thomas Hunt
I'm playing it and enjoying it. Much more solo friendly.

Exclusive: Spencer Smith Reveals New Members Of Panic! At The Disco
Band carrying out Blink-182 tour dates with members of the Cab, the Brobecks.
James Montgomery 07/29/2009
For two weeks, Spencer Smith sat idly by while his former bandmate, guitarist Ryan Ross, spoke at length about leaving Panic! at the Disco and venturing out on a career of his own. Late Wednesday (July 29), that all changed.
Smith spoke with MTV News about splitting with Ross and bassist Jon Walker — echoing Ross' sentiments, he called the decision "beyond amicable" — and his and Brendon Urie's decision to carry on under the Panic! at the Disco mantle.
"I suppose it's inevitable that our two bands will always be linked now ... sort of like what happened when Blink-182 split, with Angels & Airwaves and +44, or At the Drive-In split into Sparta and the Mars Volta," Smith said. "But that's just a media thing, really, a way to add something to the story. Brendon and I are still friends with Ryan and Jon, we really like their new band [the Young Veins, they really like our band, and we hope fans like both of them. There's thousands of songs on my iPod, there's room for both our bands on it.
"And with Brendon and I, really, there was never any doubt that we were going to carry on as Panic! Honestly, we wanted to move forward as the band," Smith added. "We're working on an album now that, hopefully, takes the best parts from both of our records ... because we love them both and are really proud of them."
But before Smith and Urie could move forward as Panic!, they had to come to terms with the past — something that's proven to be tough, given the reaction most fans have had to the split.
"It's one of those things where, it's sad for us to know, but at the same time, it's sort of heartwarming to know there's people that love your band that much that they would genuinely be upset that we were splitting apart," Smith said. "And I think that there was absolutely no way to get around that, and we have to keep reminding ourselves of that. And also knowing that it was the right decision, and as me and Brendon are moving forward and I'm sure Ryan and Jon are moving forward too. ... It's unfortunate that there's no way to sort of get around the initial fan reaction, but it makes sense, and it's amazing that they care about our band that much to really feel that way. Hopefully over the next few months, the music will amend that."
Oh, and about that music. Smith revealed exclusively to MTV News that — for the immediate future, at least — he and Urie have tapped a pair of their friends to join the band for their upcoming dates with Blink-182. Replacing Ross on guitar is Ian Crawford, who spent time with Panic!'s Decaydance labelmates the Cab. And on bass, it'll be singer/songwriter Dallon Weekes, mastermind behind Utah-based indie act the Brobecks.
"Yeah, we've taken on a couple of new guys for the tour. They're friends, so the decision was easy. Plus, we're really excited to play with them as musicians," Smith said. "Ian is probably the most talented guitar player that me and Brendon have ever played with, and Dallon is a really nice guy and a really great bassist. It's new. Like I said, we're really excited."

Deep Blue made history yesterday as it became the first computer to defeat a world chess champion in a serious match -- crushing Garry Kasparov in a stunning 19 moves.
A scowling Kasparov bolted away from the board after he resigned -- and later charged that the IBM-backed machine had an unfair advantage.
"It was nothing to do about science ... It was zeal to beat Garry Kasparov," he said.
"When a big corporation with unlimited resources would like to do so, there are many ways to achieve the result. And the result was achieved."
The hourlong loss -- the shortest in Kasparov's 20-year career -- gave Deep Blue two wins, three draws and only one loss in the six-game match.
The machine's research fund received the $700,000 winner's share from IBM, while Kasparov received $400,000.
But that was no consolation to the 34-year-old Russian who said he was "ashamed" at his own play -- and hinted that Deep Blue was receiving illegal help from humans.
"I ask you and everyone else to study the printouts," he said at a post-game press conference.
Asked if the machine was cheating, Deep Blue team manager C.J. Tan shot back: "The answer is no, N-O."
Kasparov said he "cracked under the pressure ... because I'm a human being."
He said he had "major, major problems" in concentrating after it was revealed a week ago that he had resigned the second game in the match in a drawable position -- an unprecedented blunder.
But he said "in a real match, in competitive chess, the machine would be badly, badly beaten."
Kasparov repeatedly said the match was not "competitive chess" but didn't explain why.
The match was played under the normal international time limit, in which each side had two hours to play 40 moves.
He said he was forced to play inferior opening lines -- "crap" -- because the machine would be too well prepared for his best weapons.
In the final game Kasparov adopted the solid Caro-Kann Defense but went wrong by the seventh move, allowing a strong and well-known sacrifice of a knight for a pawn.
By the 17th move Kasparov's pieces were in a mess and he decided to give up his queen the next move -- and the game a move after that.
The match was not just man vs. machine but the United States vs. Russia because two of the top American grandmasters, John Fedorowicz and Nick deFirmian, had been secretly preparing Deep Blue in the weeks before play began May 3.
Kasparov, who has never lost a serious match, had defeated Deep Blue by a 4-2 score last year and predicted he would win the rematch easily.
Organizers said a third match would be discussed over the next few months.
Kasparov said he wouldn't play again under IBM's sponsorship.
"Competitive chess has no room for friendly relations," he said.
In contrast to Kasparov, Deep Blue's programmers took the result calmly.
"We on the IBM Deep Blue team are indeed very proud that we've played a role in this historic event," Tan said.

Family Of White Woman Shot By Black Cop Awarded The Largest Settlement For Police Violence In Minnesota History
Nappy Newz 4 years ago 2 min read
Philando Castile's family, of the same state, received just a fraction of that amount.
The family of a white woman in Minneapolis who was shot and killed by Black police officer Mohamed Noor has been awarded $20 million. The payout will be the largest of its kind in Minnesota history.
Justine Ruszczyk Damond was shot as she approached Noor's patrol car to report a possible rape behind her Minneapolis home on July 15, 2017. The 40-year-old was unarmed and a jury determined she did not pose a threat to Noor or his partner who accompanied him on the 911 call Damond made.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey says the unprecedented circumstances of the conviction played a role in the settlement. "There was not a clear threat before the use of force was made," he said. "This is not a victory for anyone, but rather a way for our city to move forward." Noor is the first police officer in Minneapolis history to be convicted of an on-duty shooting.
$2 million of the payout will go toward combating gun violence.
The $20 million settlement is in stark contrast to the $3 million Philando Castile's family received. The officer who shot and killed Philando was not convicted even though the incident was captured on video. Damond's family also reportedly received the money immediately, while it took three years for Castile's to receive the payout.
Philando Castile's mother Valerie Castile took a large part of the settlement to wipe out school lunch debts for thousands of children. She also began the Philando Feeds the Children fundraiser that raised $150,000 and eliminated school lunch debts across the entire St. Paul public school system.
Both Philando Castile and Justine Damond's lives were unnecessarily wiped out. Their aftermaths though, both in criminal justice and financial compensation, speak volumes.
Mohamed Noor is facing 30 years in prison.

Many of us would have listened to fairy tales during our childhood days..While growing up, I loved to listen and also read many stories which took me to another world..I adored and believed those stories when I was young..
There are totally seven stories in this book..I enjoyed reading all the stories but my favorite ones are "Of Mice and Horses" (This story is different version of Cindrella) ,"The frog who would be King" (talks about a princess who refuses to marry a prince), "The beans of Avarice"( a story about boy, magic beans and magician) "A tale of one city" (about the piper) and "What the hobglobin did" (a very little man who helps a girl).
Overall, I feel that this book is interesting and refreshing with a different point of view to read..Kudos to author for thinking out of the box!!!
Disclaimer: I received a digital copy of book in return for my honest review..I didn't receive any monetary compensation for the same.
Thanks for the review, Sadhuvi.

Notes to Make the Sound Come Right: Four Innovators of Jazz Poetry
T.J. Anderson III
University of Arkansas Press, 2004
Library of Congress PS310.J39A53 2004 | Dewey Decimal 811.509357
In "When Malindy Sings" the great African American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar writes about the power of African American music, the "notes to make the sound come right." In this book T. J. Anderson III, son of the brilliant composer, Thomas Anderson Jr., asserts that jazz became in the twentieth century not only a way of revising old musical forms, such as the spiritual and work song, but also a way of examining the African American social and cultural experience. He traces the growing history of jazz poetry and examines the work of four innovative and critically acclaimed African American poets whose work is informed by a jazz aesthetic: Stephen Jonas (1925?–1970) and the unjustly overlooked Bob Kaufman (1925–1986), who have affinities with Beat poetry; Jayne Cortez (1936– ), whose work is rooted in surrealism; and the difficult and demanding Nathaniel Mackey (1947– ), who has links to the language writers. Each fashioned a significant and vibrant body of work that employs several of the key elements of jazz. Anderson shows that through their use of complex musical and narrative weaves these poets incorporate both the tonal and performative structures of jazz and create work that articulates the African journey. From improvisation to polyrhythm, they crafted a unique poetics that expresses a profound debt to African American culture, one that highlights the crucial connection between music and literary production and links them to such contemporary writers as Michael Harper, Amiri Baraka, and Yusef Komunyakaa, as well as young recording artists—United Future Organization, Us3, and Groove Collection—who have successfully merged hip-hop poetry and jazz.
Notes to Make the Sound Come Right
Four Innovators of Jazz Poetry


Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
Words can lift people's spirits, make them laugh, inspire someone to greatness, and can wipe away tears. But words can also break people down; they can literally kill. Think of the numerous stories you've heard of someone who had been verbally abused and it led them to commit suicide. Words have so much power. What are you doing with that power?
The mouth we use to proclaim God's love is the same mouth we use to curse or slander someone. The mouth that praises God on Sunday is the same mouth that denies him to friends when they start to make fun of you for your beliefs. There are so many verses in the Bible that tell us about the power of the tongue and how we should be careful what we say. But are we being careful?
Make a conscious effort today to take note of what you're saying. Are you frivolous with your words? Do you talk too much? Here's something to think about: would you say those same words to your church friends on Sunday? Someone once told me, "Handle words carefully, for they have more power than atom bombs." So how will you handle your words?
QUESTION 1. When was a time that someone used words to build you up? What about to break you down?
QUESTION 2. Do you talk the same way in church as you do outside of church? Are you living a double life?
CHALLENGE: Think about what you're saying and weigh your words carefully. Instead of saying words that can kill, or words that mean nothing, speak truth and love and speak them often. The world needs truth and love now more than ever.


Loaded with versatile features and crisp Fender tone.
In this video you can see Domhnaill standing in front of his Champion 100. This is the first amp Domhnaill ever bought and it is his main amp.
Simple to use and versatile enough for any style of guitar playing, there's a Champion amp that's right for you whether you're looking for your first practice amp or affordable stage gear. The 100W, dual-channel Champion 100 features two 12" Special Design speakers, with great amp voices and effects that make it easy to dial up just the right sound - from jazz to country, blues to metal and more.
I recently got it in brand new condition in an amazing price. I can get the great Fender tone found in most fender tube amps. But not as bright as the tube ones. I say this amp is great for everyone who wants clean, loud, awesome tones.
surprisingly good review of a piece of budget kit!
Loud and provides the sound desired, does the job and does it well.
Great sounds, way too heavy though!
Super great sounding amp for £226, but I find it hard to transport.
No matter what you're using it for it'll do, its never perfect for what you're going for but no matter what you'll get close. Its got a nice warm vintage tone. Loads of voices and effects to mess around with. Good thing this is.
great review of this budget fender!
nice to hear that! I don t have used it for gigs but it seems reliable.
Good for a practice amp but could easily be loud enough for a small gig.
This amp is perfect for someone who is just starting to get into being in a band and maybe even do a little gigging. It is easy to get a great tone out of this amp, there are so many to choose from. My personal favorite is the British sound on channel 2 with the gain turned up to about 7.
This amp is absolutely the best around for the price. It is loyal overtime and everywhere, always sounds true and has amazing cleans , even if "he" is not a tube amp. I think that he is the best friend ti carry everywhere, he doesn't ask much,and behave in an amazing way.
I use this amp for my larger gigs I mean you always need a PA yet this wonderful amp with its effects and large size is a double edged sword!
I use it not only as an amplifier but also as a micro amp and reverb pedal, it's awesome, there are so many options to choose from when you confront the voices and effects of this amp. Includes aux so you are able to play backing tracks from your phone. Stunning!
I use this with my Fender Rhodes Mk1 and very pleased with the sound and tone.
Bought in sept. 2016. Not yet used for a gig. it seems fine. I use it most with headphones, plenty of gorgeous sounds with its included effects.
I just love the sound of it, on both channels. The effects that are already in it are accurate, and it's more than just "giggable".
As a starting out musician, this amp has been a great learning pathway. Its loud enough to play any gig and with built in FX and amp styles, its great fun to play around with.
Best sounding amplifier I have owned!
This is my main amplifier, I use it for all gigs in the punk rock band "Unwired Society", I used it for the recording of our EP "Punk Is Alive". I got it in order to achieve a professional guitar sound to go with my telecaster, I wasn't happy with my guitar sound and wanted a professional sounding amp, it is the best sounding amp I have ever owned and the best amplifier for Punk Rock.
The amp is the most versatile thing I have ever owned, I could play it on a Green Day song, a Blink 182 song or a Beatles song, or a U2 song. It contains so many options, different sounds and different effects, you don't have to buy a load of pedals, it's all in the amp. You could plug in maybe two pedals but then use an effect in the amp as a third effect. Or if you only want one effect then you don't need an pedal, as long as you have a footswitch with the amp.
I am happy to own this amplifer and I can't think of a more versatile, professional sounding amp that works for all genres, mainly punk rock.

Extraterrestrial Legal Advice, Alleged Legal Malpractice, Twin City Firm Out of The Crosshairs
Update #3 (June 6, 2012): Two years of uncertainty from a pending claim of legal malpractice is settled while the U.S. District Court's decision in favor of the Maslon firm was pending on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals. The appellate briefs are here and here.
For many reasons, legal malpractice claims are some of the most difficult claims to win in civil litigation. It is not difficult to prove that lawyers are human (generally). It is not difficult to prove that they make mistakes (ever). What is often extremely difficult to establish, for a host of reasons, is that a person's damages were caused by a lawyer's professional malpractice.
If you think you or someone close to you has been harmed by attorney malpractice, call for a free consultation ((612) 234-7349).
Update #2 (January 31, 2012): Minnesota Litigator jumped the gun with the statement that the Maslon law firm had defeated a malpractice claim. Not just yet. Plaintiffs' counsel agreed to dismiss the still viable claims after U.S. District Court Judge Susan R. Nelson's October 2011 order on defendant's motion to dismiss so it could seek immediate appeal to the U.S. Court of Appealsfor the Eighth Circuit on those claims that were dismissed.
Update #1 (October 21, 2011): Minnesota Litigator recently covered a legal malpractice claim brought against Minnesota "Big Law," and, this week, a decision in another legal malpractice action against another large Twin Cities firm came down.
Maslon escaped a legal malpractice claim because plaintiffs, relying on the fact that they brought suit in Nevada, forewent Minnesota's requirements on the "affidavit of expert identification." (The case was transferred out of Nevada by the federal district court there to Minnesota.)
After a lengthy choice-of-law analysis, U.S. District Court Judge Susan R. Nelson (D. Minn.), while acknowledging the harshness of the rule, nevertheless held that the Minnesota "expert disclosure statute" was applicable in this case before her and required dismissal of the legal malpractice claim against Maslon with prejudice (and plaintiffs' additional claims "derivative" of the malpractice claim).
However, some of plaintiffs' claims (aiding/abetting breach of fiduciary duty, aiding/abetting misrepresentations and omissions) survived Maslon's motion to dismiss.
Original Post (July 30, 2010): For transactional lawyers in particular, there is inevitable uncertainty when a transaction concerns dealings out of state as to when, exactly, one is out of bounds, that is, when one is engaging in the unauthorized practice of law in the out-of-state jurisdiction (assuming, of course, the lawyer is not licensed in that other state).
And what happens when the out-of-state transaction did not go so well and the Minnesota lawyer finds herself (or her firm) sued in the foreign land?
The Minnesota law firm of Maslon, Borman, Edelman & Brand has the misfortune of first-hand experience. The U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Gloria M. Navarro, J.) determined that the Court did have personal jurisdiction over the firm. On the other hand, the Court concluded that the case should be transferred to the District of Minnesota, where it is now before U.S. Dist. Judge Susan R. Nelson (D. Minn.).
(Query: will the Minnesota rule requiring an affidavit of expert review for legal malpractice actions be tacked onto the case? Under Ferens v. John Deere, presumably not. So Plaintiff's unsuccessful attempt to sue the case out in Nevada was perhaps not a complete failure.) (UPDATE: This issue was addressed at length by Judge Nelson in her 10/18/11 Order and the answer is that the affidavit was required.)


Just wondering what kind of amps Zakk used from his high school days straight into No Rest for the Wicked. And did it change when he did No More Tears? I know that he's alll about the JCM800, but was that his weapon of choice when he was younger?
Yeah man, like I just want to know how I can hint at his solo tone for a few songs like Devils Daughter, and thought this'd be the appropriate place to ask haha.

Market researchers have come to a consensus that the bursting of the A-share bubble in June/July is unlikely to damage China's economic and financial systems.
Global financial contagion is also well contained, as the A-share market has a very low correlation (averaging 0.15) with the 10 most-traded global markets (excluding Hong Kong).
So why did Beijing intervene so heavily to obstruct market clearing in an attempt to salvage the stock market?
Since President Xi Jinping took office, he has implemented a series of financial reforms in all major areas, from the domestic banking system to the external capital account.
These measures had only just started to earn the trust of many China skeptics before the heavy intervention in the A-share market quickly destroyed Beijing's hard-earned credibility regarding financial reform.
The international community is now questioning whether China is ready to let market forces run the system, as well as Beijing's policy transparency and consistency and its willingness to tackle moral hazard.
From the perspective of a foreign investor or regulator, these questions boil down to two key problems — transparency and liquidity — which organisations such as the International Monetary Fund and MSCI want to see China improve before considering any change in the role of the renminbi and renminbi assets in international official reserves and international investment.
Observers have offered various explanations for Beijing's intervention, including installing a "Xi Jinping put" to pre-empt a financial meltdown; ensuring a rising stock market to help attract foreign investors and advance renminbi internationalisation and domestic structural reforms; and shoring up the leadership's reputation.
While these notions are valid to some extent, in my view they all miss the most important point of local political economy.
At the heart of Xi's vision for reform is the need to strengthen the foundation of the Communist Party's political control.
To do that he needs to reconstruct China's social contract, which Beijing has been using to govern the country since the start of economic reform in 1978.
For the people, the deal is for the party to retain a monopoly on power in exchange for economic freedom that has delivered unprecedented economic growth and reduction of poverty.
For the [arty, the "red line" is anything that it perceives as a threat to its survival.
However, things have changed, leading to the breakdown of the social contract.
Years of lopsided economic growth have deepened inequality in income and wealth, creating a big economic divide between the rich and the poor.
This has raised the awareness of the grass-roots population that the corruption and incompetence of local officials are only a small part of the problems that prevent them from sharing the benefits of economic reform.
The major problem, which the government is now trying to fix through structural reforms and anti-corruption measures, is rooted at the higher levels.
This has, in turn, prompted the intellectuals and the wealthy to take more interest in politics and the reform process, either to fight for their interests or to exploit rent-seeking opportunities to enrich themselves.
Signs of China's social contract fracturing are ample, including the yawning inequality between rich and poor, rampant corruption, serious environmental damage and human rights abuses.
Thus, the key objective of Xi's administration is to reconstruct this social contract to restore the political monopoly and legitimacy for the Communist Party.
The president and the party are very conscious of the "Gorbachev syndrome".
When Xi hands over power to the next generation of Chinese leaders in 2023, the Communist Party will have ruled China for 74 years, exactly the same length of time as the Communist Party ruled the former Soviet Union before it fell apart.
From this perspective, the stock market plays a pivotal role in helping to restore the legitimacy of the party's rule and divert public grievances.
Rising stock prices provide ordinary Chinese with an opportunity to improve their income, just as economic liberalisation did in the 1980s and '90s, thereby reducing the likelihood of political and social unrest.
That is why Beijing is so keen on protecting the A-share market even at the expense in the short term of some of its credibility as regards reform.

Softball�??s Margeaux Smith, Baseball�??s Charlie Allbritton Named Lady and Gent of the Year

The Lady and Gent of the Year awards annually recognize the male and female athlete who best exemplifies perseverance, character, and determination in everything they do. According to the award language, the Lady and Gent of the Year Award highlights athletes who "give positive support and encouragement throughout the school year in practices and competition on campus and in the community."
The Centenary Student-Athlete Advisory set up the award criteria and every athletic team put forth a nominee. All student-athletes voted on the slate of nominees. Athletes were ineligible to vote for an athlete on their own team.
Smith has appeared in 31 games this season, including nine appearances in the circle. She has a 4-2 record with a save and a team-leading 3.03 ERA. This past weekend against Dallas, she hit her first collegiate home runs while also picking up a pair of wins. Smith also threw her first career complete game in Centenary's 9-1 win in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday.
"Margeaux is one of the leaders on our team. She is well respected, dependable, and always willing to help others," said softball head coach Mark Suire. "She's the definition of a true student-athlete. Margeaux has represented herself and the softball in here time at Centenary."
Allbritton has played in 14 games for Gents baseball, primarily as a pinch runner. He has one hit in five at-bats and two runs scored - none bigger in the bottom of the ninth in the Gents 6-5 win against Southwestern on April 7.
"Charlie is so deserving of this award. His work ethic, team first attitude, and passion for Centenary has been a blessing. He truly exemplifies what it means to be a Gent," said head baseball coach Mike Diaz.
