Underage Bieber hits up 3 NYC clubs

Justin Bieber was a man — or at least a 19-year-old — out on the town last night!

The pint-sized crooner hit three of Manhattan’s hottest night clubs, even though he’s two years under the legal drinking limit.

1Oak confirmed the “Baby” singer was at their Chelsea club late last night or early this morning.

TMZ reported that Bieber was also partying at Avenue and Marquee during his Manhattan club crawl.

Nightclubs typically only allow guests who are at least 21 and have a valid ID.

Nightclubs have the right to admit guests of any age — as long as booze is only served to people 21 and older, a State Liquor Authority rep said.

Bahama Mamas (and Papas): Spur staff takes well-deserved vacation to tropical …

Bahama Mamas (and Papas): Spur staff takes well-deserved vacation to tropical location

Katie Stromme

Editors of the SMSU Spur goofing around in the Bahamas.

Maria Gilland, Sports Editor
April 4, 2013
Filed under News, Top Stories

What is hot and sunny with writing all over? The Spur staff’s trip to the Bahamas, of course! This past spring break, the Spur’s writers and editors took a break from slaving away to produce the bi-weekly issues to soak up some sun and enjoy a few pina coladas (virgin, of course).

“It was a much needed break,” said news editor Kim Watkins. “We never take group trips, so we had the outlandish idea of splurging on a tropical vacation!” The trip was paid for with club funds, revenue from ad sales, and a generous allotment of spontaneous request money courtesy of SAFAC. “It worked out great too, since we weren’t really sure what we were going to do with the thousands of dollars of extra club money we had lying around—oops, don’t print that,” said editor-in-chief Katie Stromme.

The staff enjoyed many activities during their trip, including swimming with dolphins, zip-lining, skydiving, and visiting locations such as Pink Sands Beach, Thunderball Grotto, and Deadman’s Reef. They also immersed themselves in the Bahamian culture by learning dances such as the Quadrille and the Heel and the Toe Polka.

The Spur staff also trotted out their contemporary dance moves at some of the area’s hottest night clubs. Live tweets from the group’s night out appeared on the Spur’s Twitter account, including “SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS” and “drank so much I forgot how 2 format d8s in AP style.”

“All our adventures in the Bahamas were great inspiration for our writing,” explained AE editor Amber Casperson. “It was just what we needed to fill up our tanks to finish out the rest of this semester.”

“I got the chance to continue my research on the culture of strip clubs, which was really fantastic,” said commentary editor Dan Kilkelly. “I think this will go a long way towards improving my credibility as a journalist.” Kilkelly reportedly left various “research locations” with lengthy interview notes as well as an empty wallet.

Mysteriously absent from the trip was the club’s advisor, Ryan Wendland. Bringing an adult like Wendland along would have been “a real bummer, to be totally honest,” mused Stromme. “He’s just so old, like, he’s got to be almost forty or something.”

“Those ungrateful bastards,” said Wendland, upon hearing about the club’s trip. “I give them six years of my life and they don’t even ask if I want to come.” Wendland will reportedly not be returning as advisor for the Spur for the 2013/2014 school year.

So what’s next on the agenda for the Spur staff?

“We’ve been thinking about a trip to China,” said Watkins. “Based on the paper’s impressive local success, we’ve been considering selling it at various locations around the globe, so we’re pretty sure there will be sufficient funds.”

April Fools!

SubtleData™ Debuts Developer Platform, Announces CEO Appointment and …

SubtleData has integrated with the leading Point of Sale systems, and put various interfaces into a single, standardized interface available from the company’s cloud platform.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 13, 2012

SubtleData™ Inc., the company that connects mobile applications to Point of Sale systems, today announced the general availability of their platform for Point of Sale applications, along with a new Chief Executive Officer appointment and an oversubscribed seed round of funding. The news comes as the company has been experiencing global adoption of their technology within the developer community.

The company announced that over 200 companies are developing applications on the patent-pending SubtleData platform, which makes it simple for developers to tap into the most common Point of Sale systems in use at service industry locations nationwide. The range of applications being developed empower consumers to split checks at restaurants, purchase drinks for their friends, track loyalty and rewards points, and even connect with other people at the hottest night clubs.

“Working with SubtleData has been a pleasure for our development team,” said Jeff McGregor, CEO of Dash. “Their depth of knowledge was clear the first time we looked at their API documentation. The SubtleData technical team even wrote custom API calls for our use, a tremendous added value. They easily cut our time to market in half.”

Dash is a smartphone application that allows users to open, view, split and pay their restaurant and bar tabs, as well as receive targeted loyalty offers from their favorite venues, and share information through leading social media outlets.

With hundreds of Point of Sale companies in the U.S., the process of developing mobile applications that interact with bar, restaurant, hotel, or retail store systems is incredibly complex and time-consuming. SubtleData has integrated with the leading Point of Sale systems, and put various interfaces into a single, standardized interface available from the company’s cloud platform. This allows any developer to utilize the write-once and deploy-many platform to reduce time to market, easily integrate their applications across a wide range of Point of Sale systems, and expand their potential customer base.

Kyle O’Connor, CEO of Me+1, a Washington, DC-based mobile payment application targeting bars and restaurants said, “We estimated that it was going to take us six months and over six figures to get our app to integrate with just one Point of Sale system. With SubtleData we were instantly integrated with all of the major POS systems with no upfront costs.”

SubtleData also announced the addition of Bryan Menell as Chief Executive Officer, joining Richard Bagdonas, company founder and Chief Technology Officer, on the executive team. Mr. Menell most recently spent three years as an executive at the Dachis Group in Austin, Texas, and has previously founded several technology companies including publicly-traded Perficient®. Mr. Bagdonas has been a founder and executive at several technology companies previously including Remote Operations™ and publicly-traded company Prosoft Training.

While funding is a challenge for any company, SubtleData leveraged the popular social investor network AngelList to raise seed funding. During the fundraising process, the company was the #1 trending company on AngelList, helping drive the company’s $500,000 Seed Round to quickly be over-subscribed.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have a group of investors that are bringing key customer and developer relationships to us along with their investment” said Bryan Menell. “This provides us with significant momentum as we continue to expand our Point of Sale integrations and number of mobile developers.”

The SubtleData platform is available to developers today. For more information, please visit: http://subtledata.com/

The company continues to add support for new POS systems and versions within those POS systems.
