'Modern Family' Cast Documents Being Stuck In Elevator For An Hour

<p><img class="float_right" src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/50ed90d5ecad04674b000002-561/carmelo-anthony-lala-vazquez-full-court-wedding.jpg?maxX=400" border="0" alt="carmelo anthony lala vazquez full court wedding" width="400" /><keyword id="523432" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Carmelo-Anthony">Carmelo Anthony</keyword> <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/video-carmelo-anthony-waited-for-kevin-garnett-at-team-bus-after-in-game-incident-2013-1">tried to confront the Boston Celtics team bus</a> in the bowels of Madison Square Garden after the heated Knicks-Celtics game on Monday night.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Black Sports Online published <a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/01/kevin-garnett-allegedly-told-carmelo-anthony-his-wife-tastes-like-honey-nut-cheerios/">a rumor about what set him off</a>. According to writer Robert Littal, Garnett allegedly told Carmelo that his wife "tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios."</p>
<p>He attributed the trash-talk to "several sources who were in attendance."</p>
<p>It looks like a really flimsy rumor, but it has slowly gained steam over the last 24 hours. Yesterday, Bill Simmons had some fun with it, tweeting out <a href="https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/288694473289003009">a link to the rumor to his two million Twitter followers</a> and recording a podcast about KG's notorious trash talking.</p>
<p>At Knicks practice yesterday, Carmelo refused to reveal exactly what KG said, but <a href="https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedSports/status/288722312298106880">told reporters that it was something</a> "you don't say to a grown man."</p>
<p>And then the NY Daily News went all-out on the rumor today, splashing it on the back page with an accompanying story about how <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/cereal-offender-knicks-star-spats-celtic-cheerios-comment-estranged-wife-article-1.1236078">Carmelo and his wife were having marital issues</a>. The story didn't add any more reporting on the alleged "Cheerio" insult, so right now the BSO story is still all we have about the rumor:</p>
<p><div class="image-container" style="width:500px"><div class="image"><img src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/50ed9064ecad041d49000006-600-750/cheerio-1.jpg" border="0" alt="ny daily news back page" width="500" /></div><p class="source"><a href="http://twitpic.com/btsfyz">twitpic.com</a></p></div></p>
<p>Garnett is a famous trash-talker and has a history of on-court insults, which is probably why the rumor is getting so much play.</p>
<p>Charlie Villanueva alleged that <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nba/news/story?id=5759196">KG once called him a "cancer patient,"</a> something that Garnett disputes.</p>
<p>But still, this rumor is about a "9" on the flimsy scale, so it's surprising that it's on THE BACK PAGE of a big newspaper.</p>

This Rumor About Kevin Garnett Saying Something Horrible About Carmelo Anthony's Wife During A Game Is Going Mainstream

<p class="p1"><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:480px"><div class="image"><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/52160cc16bb3f76e7500002b-596-447/kim-kardashian-celebrity-tweet-1.png?maxX=480" border="0" alt="kim kardashian celebrity tweet" width="480" /><p class="source"><a href="http://twitpic.com/ctpyjj">TwitPic</a></p><p class="caption">Kim Kardashian.</p></div></div><keyword id="965365" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="ShoeDazzle">ShoeDazzle</keyword>, a subscription e-commerce company founded by Brian Lee, Robert Shapiro, and Kim Kardashian, has merged with one of its biggest competitors, <keyword id="1829615" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="JustFab">JustFab</keyword>.</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">PandoDaily <a href="http://pandodaily.com/2013/08/21/justfab-confirms-acquisition-of-shoedazzle-marking-an-end-to-the-la-shoe-wars/">first reported the deal</a> talks Tuesday evening.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Details of the merger aren't being disclosed, although both Lee and JustFab co-CEO Adam Goldenberg claim investors are "very happy." </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">That's hard to believe, given that ShoeDazzle raised $66 million when it was the category leader and was once worth $240 million. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Now its valuation is significantly less. The PandoDaily report pegged ShoeDazzle's new valuation between $10 million and $30 million. That estimate is too low, Lee and his investors say, but they haven't offered a rosier figure either. </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">PandoDaily also reported that ShoeDazzle's investors will only own 4% of the new company. Lee says t</span>hat's "completely wrong."</p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">One of ShoeDazzle's investors, Lightspeed Venture Partner's Jeremy Lieu, told <a href="http://pevc.dowjones.com/Article?an=DJFVW00020130821e98ljurhk&amp;cid=32135017&amp;ctype=ts&amp;ReturnUrl=http%3a%2f%2fpevc.dowjones.com%2fArticle%3fan%3dDJFVW00020130821e98ljurhk%26cid%3d32135017%26ctype%3dts">VentureWire</a> that ShoeDazzle is currently worth "well north of $30 million."</span></p>
<p>"It was less of a question of, 'Is the valuation lower than last time?' than, 'Was it the right decision for the company right now?'" he said.</p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Polaris Ventures, another ShoeDazzle investor, has not returned a request for comment.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Goldenberg and Lee have known each other a long time, and for that reason they say the deal has been "in the making for about four years."  </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">"ShoeDazzle launched, then JustFab. We always competed as friends," Lee told Business Insider yesterday. He also said acquisition talks sped up "a little bit" because his company was eyeing a new round of funding. The negotiations took about three months.  </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">"It was an an opportune time to open up conversations in earnest with Adam," says Lee. "This was definitely the best option for all investors."</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Both companies are optimistic about reaching profitability and generating hundreds of millions in revenue within one year. JustFab North America will be profitable soon, says Goldenberg, and the goal is to make all operations, including ShoeDazzle and JustFab's businesses abroad, profitable by next year. Goldenberg estimates the combined entity will generate more than $400 million in 2014 sales. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">For the time being, ShoeDazzle and JustFab's brands will continue running under two separate teams in two different locations. But Goldenberg says JustFab Inc will be building a new 70,000-square-foot Los Angeles campus to house all employees soon.</span></p>
<p class="p2">Most of the revenue will come from the company's subscription program, which offers monthly rented items to consumers for about $40. The merged company will have 33 million users and users can also purchase one-off items on the site. </p>
<p class="p2">Now that ShoeDazzle and JustFab have merged, another question remains:</p>
<p class="p2">What will happen to Beachmint, the third rival in the LA accessory war? Earlier, there were <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/two-of-las-buzziest-startups-beachmint-and-shoedazzle-were-in-talks-to-merge-2012-9">talks of Beachmint and Shoedazzle joining forces</a>, but those fell apart.</p>
<p class="p2">Both Lee and Goldenberg laughed and replied, "Good question!" when asked. "We like BeachMint," Goldenberg replied. "They're good guys over there and we wish them success. But when you put JustFab and ShoeDazzle together, we have more revenue than all other e-commerce subscription businesses combined."</p>
<p class="p2">Beachmint's CEO Diego Berdakin did not respond to a request for comment about the merger.</p>

<p class="p1">Or, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2016091/" target="_blank">Trey Songz</a> fans came out in flocks.  </p>
<p class="p1">Either way, Lionsgate has another successful horror movie on its hands.  </p>
<p class="p1">"Texas Chainsaw 3D" didn't fare as well opening weekend as the 2003 remake ($23.1 million) but did earn more than its 2006 counterpart ($18.5 million), to show a film with 3D in the title may not hurt its viewing appeal. </p>
<p class="p1">However, Lionsgate also has a history of successful horror releases at the beginning of every year ("Hostel," "My Bloody Valentine 3-D"). </p>
<p class="p1">The rest of the box office was putty for Hollywood blockbusters. "Lord of the Rings" prequel "The Hobbit" and "Django Unchained" continue to flourish near the top of the box office, while the other Christmas release, "Lés Miserables," begins to ease up on its earnings. </p>
<p class="p1">And, Matt Damon's fracking film sees a strong second week to make its debut among the top films. </p>
<p class="p1">Out of the top ten this week are DreamWorks' "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=guardians.htm" target="_blank">Rise of the Guardians</a>" dropping seven spots in its seventh week. The animated film about holiday mascots has earned $278.5 million worldwide.  </p>
<p class="p1">Disney's re-release of "Monsters, Inc." in 3D also bowed out of the top ten in week three. </p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Here are this week's winners and losers at the box office:</strong></p>
<p class="p1">10. After a 25 theater start last week, Matt Damon's franking film, "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=promisedland2012.htm">Promised Land</a>," opens into more than 1,600 theaters this past weekend bringing its gross to $4.3 million. </p>
<p class="p1">9. Seth Rogen's "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=mymotherscurse.htm">The Guilt Trip</a>" drops one spot with $4.5 million. In three weekends the film has earned $31.2 million of its $40 million budget. </p>
<p class="p1">8. "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lincoln.htm">Lincoln</a>" continues its slow descent out of theaters with another $5.3 million. Steven Spielberg's historical drama has earned $143.9 million in its nine-week U.S. run. </p>
<p class="p1">7. Judd Apatow's latest comedy, "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=apatow.htm">This is 40</a>" takes in $8.6 million in week three. Though the film has far exceeded its estimated $35 million budget, its $54.5 million gross to date barely makes a splash in the box-office water when compared to 2011's "Bridesmaids" ($288.4 million worldwide). </p>
<p class="p1">6. Tom Cruise's "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=oneshot.htm">Jack Reacher</a>" earns $9.3 million in weekend three. That finally sets its domestic total of $64.8 million ahead of its estimated $60 million budget. This is one of Cruise's few films to not earn more overseas than at home. Worldwide, the film has made $120.4 million. </p>
<p class="p1">5. Billy Crystal's "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=parentalguidance.htm">Parental Guidance</a>" brings in $10.1 million. In two weeks, the comedy has earned $68 million worldwide on an estimated $25 million budget. </p>
<p class="p1">4. "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lesmiserables2012.htm">Lés Miserables</a>" earns another $16.1 million. The film, which opened Christmas day, has now earned $170 million worldwide in two weeks. </p>
<p class="p1">3. "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hobbit.htm">The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey</a>" earned $17.5 million in week four – more than any of "The Lord of the Rings" during the same week. Most of the film's $824.8 million worldwide has come from overseas ($561 million). </p>
<p class="p1">2. "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=djangounchained.htm">Django Unchained</a>" narrowly misses holding off "Texas Chainsaw" with $20.1 million. That finally sets the film's gross ($106.4 million) over its hefty estimated budget of $100 million. </p>
<p class="p1">1. "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lesmiserables2012.htm">Texas Chainsaw 3D</a>," the sequel to the 1974 classic, surprised with $23 million opening weekend. In comparison, that's more than previous horror films released by Lionsgate in the same month, 2009's "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=mybloodyvalentine09.htm">My Bloody Valentine 3-D</a>" ($21 million) and 2007's "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hostel.htm">Hostel</a>" ($19.6 million).</p>

<p>But it could have been a lot worse.</p>
<p>Thanks to the warnings from the National Hurricane Center days in advance, many were able to evacuate.</p>
<p><keyword id="6359992" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Weather">Weather</keyword> forecasters can predict the path of a storm with amazing accuracy, thanks to better satellites, smarter computer models and faster <keyword id="6387283" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="computers">computers</keyword>.</p>
<p>Weather organizations, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collect "on order of billions" of pieces of data every day in order to predict the weather, Bill Lapenta, acting director of the environmental modeling center for NOAA told Business Insider.</p>
<p>But the process isn't easy and forecasters don't make people evacuate their cities unless they're sure.</p>
<p>For instance, in the seven-day <keyword id="44566" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Forecast">forecast</keyword> before Hurricane Sandy, U.S. forecasters didn't sound the alarm, even though the European forecasters were already seeing a big, bad storm coming our way. This situation lead <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83293.html">to some criticism</a> that NOAA doesn't have the resources it needs to warn of life threatening storms fast enough.</p>
<p>The U.S. team tweaked their model and five days before, "The U.S. and European models were locked in and consistent and forecasters had a high level of confidence that said something unprecedented was going to happen," Lapenta said.</p>
<p>The fact is, he says, predicting weather seven days in advance is still pretty difficult to do.</p>
<p>Predictions actually start with airplanes and a group of brave pilots who call themselves the "Hurricane Hunters."</p>
<p>Here's a breakdown of how they gather data and save lives:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Storm chasers fly airplanes to "conduct tropical storm reconnaissance,"</strong> explains the <a href="http://www.hurricanehunters.com/mission.html">Hurricane Hunters Association</a>. These Hurricane Hunters are members of the Air Force's 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (53rd WRS) out of Keesler Air Force Base near Biloxi, Mississippi. They can fly up to 3 storms at a time. Many of the pilots work part-time for the WRS and are civilians with regular jobs.</p>
<p>Plus NOAA has its own aircraft that make similar flights out of MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.</p>
<p>These pilots will literally fly into a hurricane (at 10,000) feet to gather data.</p>
<p>Here's a look at the Hurricane Hunter planes and the people.</p>
<p><table class="image-container click-to-enlarge" width="200"><tr><td><div class="image"><a title_source="Hurricane Hunters Association" title_caption="Hurricane Hunters" class="zoomin" href="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/50f46c146bb3f78720000019-960/hurricane-hunters.jpg"><span class="click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span><img src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/50f46c146bb3f78720000019-256-298/hurricane-hunters.jpg" border="0" alt="Hurricane Hunters" /></a></div><p class="source"><a href="http://www.hurricanehunters.com/people.html">Hurricane Hunters Association</a></p><p class="caption">Hurricane Hunters</p></td></tr></table></p>
<p>2. <strong>Pilots drop capsules from their airplanes into the hurricanes.</strong> The capsules are called "dropsondes" and they transmit a constant stream of weather data. Here's what the dropsondes looks like.</p>
<p><table class="image-container click-to-enlarge" width="200"><tr><td><div class="image"><a title_source="NOAA" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/50f464a7eab8ea7a4b000027-960/dropsondes.jpg"><span class="click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span><img src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/50f464a7eab8ea7a4b000027-306-253/dropsondes.jpg" border="0" alt="Dropsondes" /></a></div><p class="source"><a href="http://www.aoc.noaa.gov/instrumentation.htm">NOAA</a></p></td></tr></table></p>
<p>3. <strong>Weather forecasters also use satellites to watch the storm.</strong> During Sandy, the Hurricane center was taking satellite images every 7 1/2 minutes, <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/10/31/164046039/high-def-storm-models-yielded-accurate-predictions">reports NPR's Jon Hamilton</a>.</p>
<p>Here's what Superstorm Sandy looked like on satellite as it hit the coast.</p>
<p><div class="image-container click-to-enlarge" style="width:319px"><div class="image"><a title_source="NY Post Twitpic" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/508e9c7eeab8ea7516000003-960/satellite photo sandy 11am.jpg"><span class="click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/508e9c7eeab8ea7516000003-888-568/satellite photo sandy 11am.jpg" border="0" alt="Satellite Photo Sandy 11AM Monday" width="319" height="203" /></a></div><p class="source"><a href="http://twitpic.com/b8hvy5">NY Post Twitpic</a></p></div></p>
<p>4. <strong>Doppler radar is another tool for storm watching.</strong> It detects rain associated with a hurricane and can help forecasters figure out how big a storm is and will become.</p>
<p>Here's what Sandy looked like via Doppler radar images.</p>
<p><div class="image-container click-to-enlarge" style="width:349px"><div class="image"><a title_source="Forensic Weather Consultants" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/50f46e12eab8ea4063000019-960/sandyref_324-resize-380x300.jpg"><span class="click-to-enlarge-icon" title="Click to enlarge"></span><img src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/50f46e12eab8ea4063000019-380-253/sandyref_324-resize-380x300.jpg" border="0" alt="Hurricane Sandy Doppler radar" width="349" height="232" /></a></div><p class="source"><a href="http://www.weatherconsultants.com/got_doppler/index.cfm">Forensic Weather Consultants</a></p></div></p>
<p>5. Weather scientists take those billions of pieces of data, combine them with the latest scientific knowledge about the atmosphere, seas, ice, land masses<strong> to make models of the weather pattern</strong>. These models let forecasters visualize how the storm is forming and what direction it will move.</p>
<p>NOAA wrote their own software for this, some 30-odd years ago, using a popular mainframe language of the day (which is now considered a dinosaur) called Fortran. That software has been updated and kept fresh over the years to take advantages of the latest advances in hardware, Lapenta says.</p>
<p>6. The models run on <strong>powerful supercomputers.</strong></p>
<p>Here is a photo of NOAA's brand new supercomputer center in Wyoming.</p>
