Karmaloop sale approved, CEO Selkoe to be replaced

In the end, Kanye West didn’t swoop in to buy online retailer Karmaloop Inc. and founder Greg Selkoe is on his way out as the bankrupt company’s chief executive.

A federal bankruptcy court judge Thursday approved the $13 million sale of the Boston-based online streetwear retailer to a group of senior lenders. The sale marks the end of Selkoe’s leadership at Karmaloop, a company he founded in the basement of his parents’ Jamaica Plain home in 1999.

As recently as this spring, Selkoe said he would keep his job as chief executive of the company and hinted that West was in talks to buy Karmaloop.

But the new owners, Comvest Capital of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Chicago-based CapX Partners, were the only group to submit an offer to buy Karmaloop in a bankruptcy auction process. The firms plan to replace Selkoe and install new management at Karmaloop in the coming weeks, according to Robert O’Sullivan, a partner at Comvest Capital.

O’Sullivan said Selkoe will remain involved with the company in an advisory role. Selkoe said he was “excited about the new capital coming into the business as well as my new role.”

The firms will continue to operate Karmaloop in the US and Europe, as well as the company’s Kazbah marketplace and PLNDR website, O’Sullivan said. The business will remain headquartered in Boston.

“This is a new chapter in the Karmaloop story,” O’Sullivan said. “We’ll be a debt-free business, have a new owner and the ability to put more capital into the business. We’re excited about the brand and we’re excited about owning the company.”

Microsoft Is Using Popular App To Spy On You

If you use Facebook, Twitter, or basically any part of the internet at all, sometime in the last 24 hours you’ve seen Microsoft’s newest tool, the age-guesser. Everyone’s sharing it, using it, and laughing over (or feeling insulted by) the results. But the tool’s rapid spread also accidentally highlights one of the biggest challenges of the digital age: the fine print.

The tool, How-Old.net, has gone viral very fast because of how hilariously wrong it often is. The world-weary baby at the top of this post, for example, was 9 months old when the picture was taken, which isn’t too far off — but the Cheerios on her tray were neither sixteen, male, nor in fact human at all. Plug in fictional characters or politicians, and the results are jokes that basically write themselves.

Microsoft isn’t planning to make age guessing a fixture of its Office Suite anytime soon; the tool was put together quickly as a demo for the company’s Azure cloud platform and services. But buried in the fine print of the Azure terms and services, as Fast Company points out, is a clause that might give Microsoft more power than you want them to have."

Aaron Herandez found GUILTY Of First Degree Murder & Remains Unfazed

Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Hernandez, 25, looked to his right and pursed his lips after the jury forewoman read the verdict. The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.

ISIS Has A Wacky Rap Music Video. No, We're Not Joking.

ISIS recently released a new attack video that aims to shake fear in the hearts of the 'capitalist pigs' in the west through the power of their sweet beats. The video features beheadings and torture while hinting at suicide bombers in Germany and New York City all set to a rap sound track. The video is gruesome and should be taken seriously of course, but its hard to not imagine a masked member of the terrorist organization in their multimedia wing sighing and with a heavy voice asking, "How do I reach these kids?". The video made sure to promise that a lot of pain and loss of life would be coming because that's how you let everyone know you're an Original G in the international community nowadays, apparently.

The video included subtitles in English, though had a few sections in German for good measure.

What do you think will be ISIS next move? Let us know in the comments section below.

Dennis Quaid's Epic Onset Blowup Caught On Tape

Dennis Quaid went absolutely berserk on the set of a movie ... calling his co-workers unprofessional zombies, pussies, and more -- or so it seems based on a video that surfaced on the Internet.

The video starts with Quaid chewing out someone for walking on set while he's running a line -- 'I can't even get a line out until dopey the d**k starts whispering in your ear, you're not even watching anymore.’”

Karmaloop bidding could start as low as $13 million

The starting bid for Karmaloop Inc. could be as low as $13 million, according to court papers related to the bankruptcy case.

Karmaloop, an e-commerce company that sells men’s and women’s streetwear, filed for bankruptcy last week with a plan to sell the business in an auction. The Boston company said it was weighed down by more than $100 million in debt from ill-fated business ventures. Karmaloop said its sales declined to $80 million last year, down from $120 million in 2013. The bankruptcy filing also listed assets of $10 million to $50 million.

A group of Karmaloop’s senior lenders, led by Comvest Capital, plan to offer the initial bid, known as the “stalking horse.” Frank A. Segall, a lawyer for Karmaloop, previously said Comvest would place a modest bid to encourage other parties to participate. Documents indicate Comvest will offer to forgive $13 million in debt Karmaloop owes the company in lieu of cash.

Prior to the bankruptcy, Karmaloop hired the Boston financial advisory firm Consensus Advisors to search for potential buyers. Consensus reached out to more than 150 investors and were unable to find a buyer.

Segall said Karmaloop has been in talks with several interested parties since it filed for bankruptcy. Despite rumors, rap mogul Kanye West and entrepreneur Dame Dash have not purchased the company or made a formal offer, he said.

Karmaloop asked the court to set an auction date for May 19.

What It's Like To Live As A Women Under ISIS Rule

Militants working for ISIS' all-female police force in Syria have released a manifesto on the role of women - claiming children as young as nine should be encouraged to get married and condemning beauty parlours as the work of the devil.

The chilling document, titled 'Women in the Islamic State', demands women live a completely 'sedentary' lifestyle and that their role in life should be primarily to remain 'hidden and veiled' and at the service of men, who are described as their masters.

The manifesto urges 'pure' females to ensure they are married by 16, 'while they are still young and active', but insists that children as young as nine can 'legitimately' marry adult men.

It goes on to state that beauty parlours and shops selling fashionable clothes must not be tolerated as they are both instruments of the devil designed to encourage women to spend vast amounts of money to change God's design.

The document is the first of its kind to be released by ISIS' all-female Al-Khansa Brigade and while it claims not to have been written or approved by ISIS' leadership, it provides a disturbing look at the way women living under the terror group's barbaric regime can expect to be viewed and treated."

Freezing and Fighting for Aid: Syrian Refugees in Lebanon

As Syria’s civil war has raged over the past four years, more than a million refugees have fled into neighboring Lebanon. The Bekaa Valley, which serves as the main passageway between Damascus and Beirut, is now home to the largest concentration of Lebanon’s Syrian refugees.

Currently in Lebanon there is one Syrian for every four Lebanese citizens — a population growth that has created a strain on the small villages and towns that bear the responsibility of hosting the refugees. Al Marj, a small city of about 15,000 in the southern end of the Bekaa Valley, is home to a refugee camp where approximately 400 families are living.

VICE News traveled to the Bekaa Valley to see how the refugee population is faring as winter fully sets in, and found that the freezing temperatures are only one of their problems.

Baby Woolly Rhino Discovered In Siberia Is The First Ever Found

Scientists are going gaga over the recent discovery of a baby woolly rhino.

The pristine specimen of the tiny extinct rhino--the only one of its type ever found--was discovered in permafrost along the bank of a stream in Siberia's Sakha Republic, The Siberian Times reported.

"At first we thought it was a reindeer's carcass, but after it thawed and fell down we saw a horn on its upper jaw and realized it must be a rhino," Alexander 'Sasha' Banderov, the hunter who made the discovery, told the Times. "The part of the carcass that stuck out of the ice was eaten by wild animals, but the rest of it was inside the permafrost and preserved well."

Scientists estimate that the rhino--which has been dubbed Sasha--was 18 months old when it died some 10,000 years ago, according to the Times. The specimen includes the animal's wool, an ear, an eye, nostrils, and skull and mouth.

"We are hoping Sasha the rhino will give us a lot of answers to questions of how they grew and developed, what conditions they lived in, and which of the modern day animals is the closest to them," Albert Protopopov, head of the Mammoth Fauna Department at the Academy of Sciences in Sakha Republic, told the Times. "We will concentrate on the DNA, because the carcass was kept frozen and chances are high we will get a better preserved DNA. We are hoping to report first results in a week or two."

NASA Has A Wild Idea To Send A Submarine To Saturn's Moon Titan

NASA is mulling over plans to explore the seas of Saturn's moon Titan, and the possible mission seems like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Titan's surface is covered in vast lakes, rivers, and seas of methane. To discover what secrets lie within these extraterrestrial bodies of liquid, NASA has developed a concept for a submarine that would explore Titan’s largest northern sea, Kraken Mare, which is comparable in size to the Great Lakes.

A new video animation (above) of the concept, which was developed for the space agency's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program, was posted to YouTube on Feb. 3--and it sure is wild.

(Story continues below image.)

The proposed submarine would collect and analyze samples from under Kraken Mare's surface. As the sub would spend long periods under the surface, it would bepowered by a radioisotope generator that converts heat from radioactive pellets into electricity, similar to the Mars rover Curiosity, Discovery News reported.

Why visit Titan? According to NASA, Titan’s hydrocarbon ocean environment may hold clues about how organic compounds in the solar system evolved. And since Titan has an insulating atmosphere and plentiful liquids, some scientists think it could be hospitable to microbial life.

This mission concept is on a list of solar system exploration ideas for NASA to consider by 2040.

Anonymous Launches Cyber War On ISIS

Activist hacking group Anonymous has posted hundreds of Twitter accounts, Facebook pages and email addresses it says are tied to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“ISIS; We will hunt you, Take down your sites, Accounts, Emails, and expose you,” the group said in its post to Pastebin, a frequent repository for hacked content. “From now on, no safe place for you online ...”

Anonymous declared digital war on all Islamist extremists following the terrorist attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo last month, in which attackers with loose ties to ISIS and al Qaeda killed 12 people.

Monday’s posting includes over 800 Twitter accounts, 12 Facebook pages and upwards of 50 email addresses. Most of the Twitter and Facebook pages appear to have been taken down by Anonymous.

Iran can prove Bin Laden was dead long before US raid – Iranian minister

Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi claims that Osama Bin Laden died from an illness before the US raid on his compound in Abbottabad. Iran has documents to prove it, he said.

"We have credible information that Bin Laden died some time ago of a disease," Moslehi said on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Sunday, as quoted by ISNA news agency.

"If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed Bin Laden, why don't they show him [his body]? Why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?" Moslehi asked rhetorically, FARS news agency reports.

Moslehi labeled the US raid in Abbottabad as a “PR campaign”, created to divert the attention of its citizens from domestic problems, such as the “fragile” state of the US economy.

"We believe that what the US is seeking, by dictated media programs, to overshadow the recent awakening in the region through the release of such reports," ISNA quoted Moslehi as saying.

Bin Laden was killed on May 2 in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad, north of the capital Islamabad, during a special operation carried out by US Navy Seals. President Barack Obama announced the news in a special address to the nation.

The news of “justice having been done” sparked mass celebrations in the United States and then ignited a new wave of conspiracy theories after Washington refused to release Bin Laden’s postmortem photographs, claiming that they might instigate a new wave of radicalism.

The Last Farmer in Fukushima's Post-Nuclear Wasteland: VICE INTL (Japan)

Two years since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant went into full meltdown, and the resulting 20km evacuation zone was enforced, one farmer still remains behind braving high levels of radiation and loneliness to tend to abandoned animals.

His name is Naoto Matsumura, and he is the last man standing in the ghost town of Tomioka. Another farmer, Kenji Hasegawa's town of Iidate was also evacuated due to high levels of radiation, he sought refuge in temporary housing. Faced with a post­nuclear world both these men share brutally honest views on the state of their lives, TEPCO, government inaction and some of the hardest situations they have had to face in the midst of overwhelming radioactivity.

Tesla is creating a battery pack to power our homes

No one can accuse Tesla CEO Elon Musk of failing to dream big, and now his next venture will see the electric car company produce a battery to power our homes.

Tesla considers itself as much a battery production company as it does a car maker, and this point was clarified by Musk this week who, after the company posted a loss for the fourth quarter of 2014, said design of the home battery is complete and production could begin in six months.

Although vague for now, the battery pack could resemble the system used by the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered car which lets owners remove the battery and use it to power their house; when fully charged, Toyota claims the battery can power an average home for a week.

Alternatively, Tesla could follow the Nissan Leaf, an all-electric car which can be used as a temporary generator to power a home in an emergency.

On an earnings call last year, Musk announced his plans to power consumers' homes, not just their cars. "We are trying to figure out what would be a cool stationary [battery] pack. Some will be like the Model S pack: something flat five inches off the wall, wall mounted, with a beautiful cover, an integrated bi-directional inverter, and plug and play."

During that same call, Tesla's chief technical officer, JB Straubel, said long-term demand for stationary energy storage is "extraordinary," adding: "We've done a huge amount of effort there and have talked to major utilities and energy service companies."

It seems that Tesla is getting closer to revealing its plans for a greener, all-electric future in our homes as well as on the roads, and down the line its electric car business could merely be a branch of something much larger.

The company is still deciding on an exact date to release the home battery pack, but for now Musk describes it as "really great."

Sun News Network shuts down

By: The Canadian Press, Published on Fri Feb 13 2015

The Sun News Network went off the air Friday morning after negotiations to sell the troubled television channel were unsuccessful.

No on-air announcement was made as the screen went dark and was replaced moments later with the Sun TV logo.

The closure of the conservative-angled news channel follows months of uncertainty surrounding its fate, after Postmedia Network Canada Corp. announced plans to purchase the Sun Media newspapers and websites from Quebecor for $316 million.

The Sun News channel was not included in the deal, which sparked outsiders to suggest the network could fold after years of struggling in the ratings.

In a news release to coincide with the early-morning shutdown, Sun Media Corp. said it spent months actively seeking a potential buyer.

But it said “no party capable of taking over the channel was found” and that in view of the financial losses “there was no alternative to closing Sun News.”

“This is an unfortunate outcome; shutting down Sun News was certainly not our goal,” said Julie Tremblay, president and CEO of Media Group and Sun Media Corporation.

“Over the past four years, we tried everything we could to achieve sufficient market penetration to generate the profits needed to operate a national news channel. Sadly, the numerous obstacles to carriage that we encountered spelled the end of this venture.”

Adding further questions about the future of the network was a short-term agreement with Postmedia which allowed Sun News to licence the rights for its existing logo for only a year before Postmedia required the broadcaster to distance itself from the brand.

“The closure is regrettable for the Canadian broadcasting system, which is losing a distinctively Canadian voice in the national news space,” said Tremblay.

“We thank all employees for their daily efforts and the talent they have contributed to the channel. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Sun News Network hit the airwaves in April 2011 with heightened expectations and the watchful eyes of media observers who nicknamed it “Fox News North.”

The channel promised to balance the “lefty bias” of traditional Canadian media, but its operations were plagued by tight production budgets which often left it with limited on-the-ground reporting and a large portion of its airtime dedicated to commentary and heavily editorialized news coverage.

But it also quickly drew controversy with its occasionally combative on-air approach.

One of the most famous examples happened when former “Canada Live” host Krista Erickson drilled Quebec-born dancer Margie Gillis about whether she could receive government money for her dance performances. The segment went viral and drew a record number of complaints from viewers who felt Erickson was being unfair, but the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council eventually ruled the “aggressive” interview was acceptable.

Last September, Sun Media’s outspoken right-wing host Ezra Levant faced the ire of the Liberal party when he criticized Justin Trudeau for kissing a Toronto-area bride in a wedding photo. The bride later said Trudeau secured the groom’s OK beforehand.

Levant’s commentary also slurred Trudeau’s mother, Margaret, and his late father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Sun News issued an apology after Trudeau said he would no longer speak to the outlet’s reporters until there was an appropriate response.

The channel also got behind Ford Nation, a commentary series hosted by Rob and Doug Ford, that was pulled from the schedule less than a day after it premiered.

Despite plenty of media attention, Sun News was never able to translate the spotlight into a ratings boon.

Executives at the channel argued that at least part of that reason was the country’s broadcast regulator decided against allowing Sun News to be carried on basic cable.

In 2013, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said Sun News didn’t meet the criteria for mandatory carriage.

Sun News responded by saying the decision would spell the end of the channel.

Losses had mounted at the network, according to CRTC documents, which said it lost $17 million in 2012 and $14.8 million in 2013.

Last December, a report in the Globe and Mail quoted a source “familiar with the negotiations” who said that Moses Znaimer’s ZoomerMedia Ltd. was negotiating to acquire the network.

However, an official bid for the channel never surfaced.

ZoomerMedia operates print, TV, radio, digital, consumer shows, and conferences aimed at the over-45 demographic, and Znaimer is known as one of the creators of the Citytv brand.

Minutes after the station went dark, an on-screen message from Rogers Cable read: “Sun News Network is no longer available, at the discretion of the programmer.”

VICE: Prohibition in Northern Canada: VICE INTL (Canada)

Officially founded in 1999, Nunavut is the youngest territory in Canada. It's only been two generations since Canada's stewardship of the land forced the Inuit people out of their semi-nomadic way of life and into a modern sedentary one. But while the introduction of contemporary conveniences seem to have made life more comfortable, the history of Canada in the arctic is mired in tragedy, and the traumatic effects of residential schools and forced relocations are still being felt.

Today, Nunavut is in a state of social crisis: Crime rates are four times the national average and the rates of suicide are more than ten times higher than the rest of Canada.

If you ask people here what the driving force of the problem is, a lot of them will say: alcohol. Even though alcohol is completely illegal in some parts of the territory, it's been reported that 95 percent of police calls are alcohol-related.

VICE NEWS: Yemen: A Failed State

Since 2011, when Yemeni youths took to the streets and sparked the eventual demise of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime, the country has fallen to pieces. The new embattled government is now struggling to cope with a bevy of issues, including sectarian rivalries, CIA drone strikes, and one of al Qaeda's most sophisticated branches. It now risks presiding over the failure of one of the world's most fragile countries.

In "Yemen: A Failed State," VICE News visits some of Yemen's most dangerous and hard-to-reach places and groups, including the national Army in the country's lawless East, the Houthis in Sana'a, and the Popular Committee in the South, to find out how both the government and the West's policy toward Yemen have gone wrong.
