D-backs skip batting practice for second straight day
PHOENIX -- With his team in a stretch of 20 games in 20 days and coming off a disheartening sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson did not have his team take batting practice before Thursday night's game with the Brewers.
So when the D-backs went out and beat Milwaukee, 5-3, to snap their losing streak, Gibson had them once again skip on-field batting practice and report to the ballpark later than usual Friday.
While most players still took pregame swings in the indoor batting cage, not having to be there early and hit on the field was a welcome respite during the grind of the season.
"I think sometimes BP can be a little overrated," veteran outfielder Cody Ross said. "Obviously it helps just to go out there and get loose and get the blood flowing. That's basically what I use it for, just to get loose. Any time that I want to work on my swing, I try to do it in the cage as opposed to during BP."
The later arrival time also drew smiles.
"It can definitely help rejuvenate a little bit," Ross said. "You get excited when you hear no BP, because it just gets so routine-oriented in this game. You can spend a little more time at home."

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Daniel Winslow is launching his first radio ad, focusing on what he calls his job creation plan.
Winslow says he wants to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 26 percent, which he said would make American businesses more competitive, so they create jobs.
Winslow says he also wants to make taxes flatter and fairer for large and small businesses by repealing billions in what he describes as "corporate welfare and special interest loopholes."

A couple of years ago, a Mac OS X application came along and blew my socks off. I raved about it at the time, and continue to do so just about every chance I get. That app was Papers, which has done for scientific literature what iTunes did for music files. Now, the company behind Papers, Mekentosj, has done it again, this time by bringing its killer app to the iPhone in a timely manner. It doesn't disappoint.
What made the desktop app so great was the way it took all the hard parts of maintaining an electronic literature database and hid them, while at the same time providing a great-looking interface from which to read papers, search for new ones, and even export them to bibliographic apps. The iPhone app works in pretty much the same way as the desktop version, bringing some or all of your desktop library over to your iPhone or iPod touch, along with the option to search for new articles and so on.
Papers for iPhone syncs wirelessly with the desktop app (although you'll need to download the latest version, 1.9). Once both devices are on the same network, you'll need Papers running on your Mac, then just select the appropriate computer name from the list (in the case of more than one) and turn on syncing. The first sync might take a while, depending on how many PDFs you're copying, but subsequently, syncing is incremental and therefore much faster.
You manage the iPhone app in much the same way you would do so in iTunes, selecting Collections you want to move over, and you have the option of syncing bidirectionally or just from the desktop to the mobile device.
Navigating around on the iPhone is as easy as you might expect. The UI works well on the much smaller screen, although large libraries can be slow to scroll, and PDFs can take time to redraw. These are probably limitations of the iPhone HW though. I didn't have access to a newer generation iPod touch, but the slightly faster chips within might reveal better performance.
Reading a PDF works intuitively, either in landscape or portrait mode. As with most iPhone apps, you unpinch to zoom in, pinch to zoom out, with the top and bottom of the screen containing buttons that hide most of the time. Notes that you make on the iPhone will carry over to your Mac as long as you're syncing bidirectionally, so you can preserve those thoughts that come to you on the bus or the beach or in the bath. Finally, you can also search a number of search engines, including PubMed, Google Scholar, arXiv, and so on.
Even if you don't have a copy of Papers for your Mac, or if you use a different platform (Zotero is cross-platform, as is the forthcoming Mendeley), Papers for iPhone will work as a standalone program, although obviously you'll need at least an iPhone or iPod touch.
There you have it. One of the best things I can say about Papers for iPhone is that it works exactly how you think it should work, and makes catching up on your reading that much easier. It's perfect for long commutes on public transport, boring seminars or lab meetings, or any other occasion where whipping out a Macbook might be considered inappropriate.

I think at this point a lot of folks are over on the Pinterest. If you aren't, why the heck not? You should definitely sign up, follow me, and then go browse the food section. That is exactly how I found this gorgeous recipe for Baked Lemon and Thyme Mushrooms by Simple Provisions.
I used fresh thyme growing from the garden. On a side note, I am gonna be pretty bummed out during Winter when you can't just walk outside and get fresh herbs. Anyhow, if you are a mushroom lover, try this one out. It is delicious!
Baked Lemon and Thyme Mushrooms
Makes 2 servings
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 2-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400F/200C.
2. Zest the lemon, reserving the juice for later. Combine the zest, thyme and enough olive oil to make the mixture pourable in a bowl. Clean and slice the mushrooms and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil mixture and season with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the parmesan over the mushrooms and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is lovely and golden.Drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture and some lemon juice (to taste) over the mushrooms.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators proposed setting minimum capital levels that banks and other firms that trade derivatives must hold as a cushion against risk.
The Securities and Exchange Commission voted Wednesday to seek public comment on the proposed rules, which also would set collateral requirements and keeping customer funds separate from a firm's. The financial overhaul law passed in 2010 called for new oversight of derivatives, the complex investments blamed for hastening the financial crisis, and required the SEC to write the rules.
The value of derivatives hinges on an underlying investment or commodity — such as currency rates, oil futures or interest rates. The derivative is designed to reduce the risk of loss from the underlying asset.
The SEC's proposal applies to derivatives based on securities such as stocks and bonds. It is similar to rules proposed previously by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for other kinds of derivatives.
SEC officials said the proposal, which is open to comment for 60 days and could be formally adopted after that, is the final set of rules for derivatives that the agency must put into effect under the 2010 law. The agency has been writing a number of related rules since 2010, and some of them have been formally adopted.
Taken together, "these rules are intended to make the financial system safer, and the derivatives markets fairer, more efficient and more transparent," SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said before the vote.
Derivatives have been traded in an opaque $600 trillion market around the globe. Giant insurer American International Group Inc. nearly collapsed from losses on its derivatives contracts in the fall of 2008 and was rescued by the federal government in the biggest bailout of the financial crisis, $182 billion.
Derivatives trading is dominated by about 20 big banks worldwide, many of them Wall Street firms. Five big U.S. banks — JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. — account for an estimated 97 percent of the derivatives held by the U.S. banking industry.

Filming for Thor: The Dark World started at the Bourne Woods, Surrey, set last week. We have the newest batch of photos after seeing Jaimie Alexander on horseback and Chris Hemsworth's new Thor armor. The new set photos give us a better look at the Marauders, including a close-up of one who's holding some kind of high-tech weapon. Also, that may be the new Fandral (Zachary Levi from Chuck) in the background of the picture above, but more importantly: TWO THORS DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY.
Thor: The Dark World opens November 8th, 2013 and is directed by Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones). I'm liking these set photos more and more. When the costumes, set pieces, and scale of a production impresses me even as a grainy set photo shot between takes from yards away, that's saying something. I think it's saying, "MAKE OUT," but that might just be my brain still focusing on the two Chris Hemsworths. You're right, inner monologue, they should make out.
Hey, how'd Russell Crowe get in here?

Hey guys I have a question what do you guys think the future for web developers and designers is looking like at the moment. Il tell you why I ask.
Little site builders like wix and weebly and even wordpress now allow the average person to create a site with some decent functionality. Now I myself am designer programmer and seo guy and i know there are a ton of shor comings to these sites in certain aspects. If you are a small business and just want something online to refrence people to or even sell , shopify you could probably do al;right.,
What ive noticed is while the program "does the coding for you" its not the best coding if you are looking to grow scalability. And in the ling run i think these sites cost businesses more.
from the design perspective man ive seen some bad stuff and image searches and content searches show so much duplicates around the web.
This means to me your ui may not be good at converting and google probably dislikes you a little and as a brand you may have trouble seperating yourself.
Despite all this I know there are some cool things that im not listing here pros to using wix again for smaller businesses with some creatives.
I am seeing a drop in requests for websites but the clients that I do get are more upper end type work do you think that wix will kill the industry? or that its going to raise the bar for us ?
I just dont a\gree with a one click solution when we have billions of businesses struggling to stand out and when the web experience is becoming increasingly about personlisation.

For the last two years a major immigration issue has been Arizona's law SB1070, which among other things authorized local law enforcement to detain undocumented immigrants in case of any law violation, even as trivial as a traffic infraction. Also the police could demand documentation of anyone they suspected of being undocumented. It would be a crime in the state if an immigrant failed to carry papers demonstrating he/she was authorized to be in the country. SB1070 also made looking for employment a crime for the undocumented. There were other features related to harboring them.
Proponents of the law argued that, since the federal government had made a mess of immigration by not vigorously enforcing existing law, the states had to act. Their approach would amount to"deportation by attrition', since many undocumented quickly fled the state. Other states soon developed SB1070 look-a-likes. Immigrant advocates challenged the law in court and its gut provisions were overturn in federal court at the district and appellate levels. Immigration was deemed the exclusive turf of the federal government. Wednesday (April 25) the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on appeals, and willcome to a decision soon afterward that is expected to be published in late June.
There is much speculation how the court will decide. This is a very political court and adjudicates in an especially partisan political season. It has been regularly divided 5-4 on controversial cases, usually deciding in favor of the Republicans. Precedent would favor federal exclusivity, as well as common sense — in that the country can't have fifty state immigration policies. Now a fever running among Republican is for restricting immigration and, more fundamentally, for curbing the powers of the federal government in favor of the states. That is similar to the argument being made on Obamacare.
There is, however, some doubt that a conservative Republican majority will respond in lockstep with the GOP right. Justice Anthony Kennedy is viewed as a more moderate swing vote and the legal precedents are strong – going back to the 1830s and 1840s when nativists pushed through state legislatures laws restricting the rights of Irish and German immigrants. That may influence Chief Justice John Roberts. Though conservative and Republican, the majority on the court are still jurists. The liberal minority will be weakened, because Justice Elena Kagan recused herself. She had work on the Arizona case when she was solicitor general. But only one of majority joining the minority justices is needed to overturn SB1070. A tie (4-4) upholds the lower court decisions.
Both the Arizona decision and the Obamacare decisions will come down just before the presidential nominating conventions. Whatever their results, they are sure to stir and embitter the fall campaign. Already Mitt Romney has expressed his support for the Arizona law and so run afoul of Hispanic voters. He has attempted of late to nuance his support, but to no success in narrowing the enormous gap among Hispanic voters with Obama. The president, while enjoying this advantage, ironically has set records at deportation – 400,000 a year. Meanwhile, the Pew Hispanic Center reports that immigration, at least from Mexico, has come to a standstill.

New products introduced over the last week include a new fund launched by Natixis and the acquisition of Swiss Re Private Equity Partners by BlackRock.
In addition, Advantus Capital filed with the SEC to introduce a new fund in September.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Natixis Global Asset Management Launches Vaughan Nelson Select Fund
Natixis Global Asset Management (NGAM) announced the launch of a concentrated equity fund, the Vaughan Nelson Select Fund (VNSAX), from Vaughan Nelson Investment Management and managed by Vaughan Nelson's value equity team, on June 29; the lead portfolio manager is Scott Weber and co-managers are Chris Wallis and Dennis Alff.
VNSAX invests in undervalued companies across the market capitalization spectrum. It holds between 20 and 40 stocks, has the ability to hold preferred and convertible securities and can short equity securities tactically.
2) BlackRock to Acquire Swiss Re Private Equity Partners AG
BlackRock, Inc. announced Tuesday that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Swiss Re Private Equity Partners AG (SRPEP), the European private equity and infrastructure fund of funds franchise of Swiss Re. BlackRock and Swiss Re have also entered into a strategic alternative investment relationship agreement, centered on BlackRock Alternative Investors (BAI), which reinforces Swiss Re's current investments in SRPEP products and establishes other future Swiss Re commitments to the BAI platform.
SRPEP will be integrated with BlackRock's existing private equity fund-of-funds group, BlackRock Private Equity Partners (BRPEP). The transaction extends BRPEP's investment capabilities into infrastructure investing, expands its European and Asian footprint, and establishes the unit's presence in Switzerland where BlackRock has a long-standing presence and history of service through employees in Zurich and Geneva.
Russell Steenberg, managing director and head of BRPEP, will continue to lead the combined unit. Christian Hinze, chief executive officer of SRPEP, will join BlackRock as deputy head of the combined business. No changes are expected to the investment strategy, style or members of existing portfolio management teams. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2012.
3) Advantus Capital Plans Fund Option for Dividend-Income Strategy
Advantus Capital Management filed with the SEC on June 22 to add the Advantus Strategic Dividend Income Fund to its product lineup. Institutional class shares are expected to launch September 12. The fund's objective is to seek above-average income and long-term growth of capital, with a secondary objective of reduced volatility compared to broader equity markets.
Under normal market conditions, the fund advisor, Advantus Capital Management, intends primarily to invest in dividend-paying equity securities, including common and preferred stocks of utilities, infrastructure-related, real estate-related and other companies. The fund will be managed by the portfolio management team of Joseph Betlej, Lowell Bolken and Craig Stapleton.

Total School Days
Total number of days in which the district provides at least 5 hours of instruction to students.
This graph shows the total number of days in which this district provided at least 5 hours of instruction during the school year. The state average is included for comparison.
The minimum legal length for an Illinois public school's year is 176 days. The number of actual calendar days varies from district to district. Districts that increase total school days have more time to improve students' learning experience inside and/or outside their academic interests. The effect of a longer school year depends on how a school utilizes the additional time.

Daniel Henninger: The Obama M.O.
Barack Obama's modus operandi is: I think, therefore you do.
We should admit the obvious: Barack Obama is the most anti-political president the United States has had in the post-war era. Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter (even), Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush. All practiced politics inside the tensions between Congress and the presidency that were designed into the system by the Founding Fathers. Not Barack Obama. He told us he was different. He is.
Mr. Obama doesn't do Washington's politics. Disappointed acolytes say it is because he is "passive." That underestimates him. For Mr. Obama, the affairs of state are wholly a function of whatever is inside his mind.
Some things remain in his mind, like the economic benefits of public infrastructure spending, which appeared one more time in Monday's post-Navy Yard speech on the lessons of the financial crisis and Congress's obligations to agree with him. Some things enter his mind and then depart, like red lines in the Syrian sand.
From where he sits, it is the job of the political world outside to adjust and conform to the course of the president's mental orbit. Those who won't adjust are dealt with by the president himself. They are attacked publicly until they are too weak politically to oppose what is on his mind.
This is the unique Obama M.O. For historians of the Obama presidency, this September has been a case study in the 44th president's modus operandi.
Early in September, President Obama surprised Washington by announcing he would seek a congressional vote of support for taking action against Bashar Assad in Syria. This came after the red line went. In an account of that decision, The Wall Street Journal reported that after taking a 45-minute walk with his chief of staff, Mr. Obama told his staff, "I have a big idea I want to run by you guys."
After meeting with the president, two significant political figures in Washington expressed public support for his announced plans to act against Assad—House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
The president's decision to intervene wasn't popular with the American public or with members of Congress, so the Boehner-Cantor commitment was a big deal. It was a public expression of political support at the moment the president needed all the political support he could get.
A week and a half later, Mr. Obama reversed course. He would not seek congressional approval. Instead it occurred to him that he could negotiate a Syrian chemical-arms reduction agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The merits of that decision aside, ABC's Jonathan Karl reported that neither Mr. Boehner nor Mr. Cantor got a heads up from the White House on the U-turn toward Russia.
Throw a dart at the names of the other 11 post-war U.S. presidents. Would any of them have hung a Speaker of the House out to dry just before heading into negotiations with that speaker on funding the government, extending the debt ceiling or the future of your legacy achievement—ObamaCare? Barack Obama did. No problem.
Related Video
On Monday, Mr. Obama delivered what the White House called "Remarks by the President at the Five-Year Anniversary of the Financial Crisis." After waving in the direction of the Navy Yard shooting and then the 2008 financial crisis, Mr. Obama spent most of the speech's nearly 4,000 words ripping into the congressional Republicans.
You have to read it to get the flavor. This passage should stand as a classic of the Obama politics of anti-politics: "The problem is at the moment, Republicans in Congress don't seem to be focused on how to grow the economy and build the middle class. I say 'at the moment' because I'm still hoping that a light bulb goes off here." (Laughter from the invited props.)
Gridlock? He's sucking the political oxygen out of the city.
There's plenty more. "The last time the same crew threatened this course of action . . . ." The same crew? As a bonus, we're getting a post-modern presidential vocabulary.
". . . they're willing to tank the entire economy."
"Are they really willing to hurt people just to score political points?"
The GOP leaders "haven't put forward serious ideas" on entitlement reform. And: "I put forward ideas for tax reform—haven't heard back from them yet." As with much else here, everyone in Washington knows that statement about taxes is false. But in the Obama post-politics apocalypse, what difference does it make?
Twice he announces, "I will not negotiate." But he is negotiating with Vladimir Putin something infinitely more difficult than a debt deal with John Boehner.
Trace elements of normal politics are inevitable in any presidency. But this one over five years has floated beyond the American political tradition. The Obama modus operandi is reducible to this: I think, therefore you do. Everyone else who still does real politics—from one side to the other—is left to gape.

Seminary Dean Signs Cooperative Agreement with Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Romania
24–25 February 2013 • Off–Campus • Virginia Nieuwsma
At the invitation of His Eminence Nicolae, archbishop of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese in the Americas, The Very Rev. Dr. John Behr, dean of St. Vladimir's Seminary (SVOTS) traveled to Bucharest to sign a cooperative agreement between SVOTS and the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, University of Bucharest. His visit, blessed by His Beatitude Daniel, archbishop of Bucharest, metropolitan of Muntenia and Dobrudgea, locum tenens of the throne of Caesarea of Cappadocia, patriarch of Romania, began on the Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee when he celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the Patriarchal Cathedral of Ss. Constantine and Helen.
On Sunday afternoon, His Beatitude hosted Archbishop Nicolae and Fr. John for an extended meeting at the Patriarchal Residence. Patriarch Daniel presented Fr. John with a pectoral cross and in return, the seminary's Dean offered His Beatitude several SVS Press books and an icon of St. Vladimir depicted with the seminary's Three Hierarchs Chapel. Father John expressed his gratitude to the Patriarch for having blessed the project between the two schools of theology in New York and Bucharest.
"I'm gratified to see that our plans for partnering with overseas schools is bearing fruit," said Fr. John. "Through these collaborative efforts we will be able to serve the various Orthodox churches in the United States more effectively by enriching the formation of our students, and we will lay the groundwork for ongoing and sustained dialogue with Orthodox schools of theology overseas." The agreement with the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Orthodox Theology is the second one to be formalized this winter; on February 12, 2013, Fr. John and SVOTS Chancellor/CEO The Very Rev. Dr. Chad Hatfield signed a formal agreement with the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade to establish a Serbian House of Studies at SVOTS.
In that same spirit of collaboration, Fr. John led a conference for faculty and students in the University's Great Hall on Monday, centered on the topic "Becoming Human," the theme of his soon–to–be–released SVS Press book. During the busy morning, he also met with Theology Faculty Dean The Rev. Dr. Stefan Buchiu and other faculty members, signed the document outlining the cooperative agreement, and joined his Bucharest colleagues for a celebratory lunch.
"In the USA, the Orthodox faith is two centuries old, and the Orthodox faithful come from all over the world, from Romania, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Middle East, so that we all live together," noted Fr. John in his remarks during Sunday's Divine Liturgy. "Living together with various nations, traditions and cultures, our place is a very special one which encourages the experience of the Orthodox faith.
"We are all pilgrims in this world, as one of the fathers of the second century used to say," added Fr. John. "This same early Christian sent a letter to Diogenet in which he said of all Christians: 'Any foreign country is their homeland and any homeland is a foreign country for them.' I am in a foreign country, but I feel as if I am at home in my own country."

Commentary: No Fish? No Worries
Not Being at Work is enough of a Lure
You've heard the old saying, "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work."
I'm here to tell you just how timelessly true that old saying really is.
My family took a vacation recently in the tiny north-central Maine town of Vienna. (Which is next-door to Mt. Vernon, and not far from neighboring Rome, and Belgrade. You sometimes have to remind yourself just where you are up there.)
We were drawn to little Vienna (pronounced locally as "VI-enna") by equally little Kimball Pond. (Pronounced locally as "KIM-ble," surprising enough.)
We had no real idea what to expect. I'm familiar somewhat with the Kingfield/Mt. Sugarloaf area a bit further to the north. And I've been through the largest town in the area, Farmington, about fourteen miles northwest of Vienna.
But Vienna was new, and Kimball Pond was a blank slate for us.
We'd arranged to rent a small house on the pond built and owned by a Vienna native, Robert Ames. He also built the long dirt road that runs down off of Rt. 41 alongside the pond. We followed it, dust swirling behind us, and turned in toward the house.
Best move I've made in a long time.
Behind the lovely little house with the screened-in back porch and the tall fieldstone fireplace, a wooden walkway winds down to the little wooden dock that juts out into the little placid pond.
Where my two, young running daughters no doubt spooked the two resting loons who were floating passively on the pond's glass-like surface. Their warbling wails and calls were like music to my ears for the next two weeks. That, and the relatively constant croaking of the frogs of every size imaginable which dotted the rocks and shoreline at the water's edge.
Beforehand, my wife and I fretted about having no Internet. After a few days, we found we weren't fretting. It turns out that, barring an emergency, being always wired in is hugely overrated. (And I say that as an inveterate news junkie.)
My daughters would have slept in the water, had we let them. They canoed, tried kayaking for the first time, and fished for the first time. OK, some of the great outdoors lessons—like the fact that big bullfrogs will swallow smaller frogs whole—they could have done without. But they never asked to go on the computer. And we managed.
In fact, I hadn't fished for years. But Bob Ames was nice enough to leave a couple of rods and some favored lures at the house for me. Each morning, I canoed out into the middle of the quiet pond, dropped my line, and waited. In vain.
And each evening, I was forced to look up at the wall next to the fireplace at the three enormous brown trout, each on their own shiny plaque, that Bob Ames had caught in the very spot I was daily doing nothing but sitting on the water holding a fishing rod for no apparent reason.
But it was okay. And when I looked out at the loons watching me, and the pine trees beyond lighting up with the rising sun, and then at my watch, reminding myself that at home now I would be in a line of cars at a light on my way to the office, it was even more okay.
I won't say that we avoided all civilization for two weeks.
We did go into Farmington once or twice, and I did buy the New York Times. Along the road, we bought great local corn and blueberries. And we found a great little coffee shop in Mount Vernon (owned by an exile from Newton, Mass., no less) that made delicious muffins with those same local blueberries.
We even went to the Skowhegan State Fair ("The nation's oldest continuously-run agricultural fair!"), where my older daughter and I shared a bumper car, were tempted by a deep-fried candy bar (we passed), and we patted a pig the size of a Subaru.
But mostly, day in, day out, we cozied up to Kimball Pond. We never missed a sunrise or a sunset, or a loon's cry or a frog's croak, or missed a chance to paddle just a little bit more before the light faded, and we never missed the web we were blessedly unconnected to.
I did miss, however, never catching a single fish. Worse, I'm not sure I ever had a single nibble.
Still, it sure beats working.

In its first transaction since its launch last year, AMG Wealth Partners announced Tuesday that it will acquire a majority equity interest in Veritable LP, a wealth management firm that handles more than $10 billion for about 200 ultra-high-net-worth families.
Veritable, a Newton Square, Pa., open-architecture wealth advisory with 84 employees including 36 investment advisors, will hold a significant equity interest in the business and continue to direct its day-to-day operations when the transaction closes.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but AMG Wealth Partners President John Copeland said Veritable managers and employees who have made long-term commitments to their firm will hold a significant equity interest in the business. AMG Wealth Partners, based in West Palm Beach, Fla., is a subsidiary of Boston-based Affiliated Managers Group Inc. (NYSE: AMG), whose investment structure involves revenue-sharing agreements.
'A Lot of Noise Around Consolidation, Acquisition and Roll-Up'
Copeland characterized the deal as a succession planning opportunity for Veritable.
"There is a lot of noise around consolidation, acquisition and roll-up in the independent advisory space. None of those terms apply to us," Copeland (left) told AdvisorOne In an interview on Tuesday. "In the life cycle of a firm, as the founders begin to think about succession planning, they have to contemplate how they, as majority equity owners, gain liquidity and in what form, and how important it is to them to have the firm remain what it is."
At the same time that AMG provides liquidity, it helps ensure that shareholders remain invested in the business over successive generations, Copeland said. "We want to make sure all other important partners remain invested, and we want to make sure over time that there's a program in place as people want liquidity in their stock in 10, 15 or 20 years, and that equity gets reinvested in the business," he said.
Copeland joined AMG Wealth Partners last June from Morgan Stanley, where he was a senior partner for one of the firm's largest private wealth management teams. He was brought on to the newly formed AMG subsidiary to focus on investments in boutique wealth management firms.
During the course of his 23-year wealth management career, Copeland was a managing director at Lehman Brothers in the firm's private investment management division. He also served as a managing director for e-commerce and wealth management at Credit Suisse First Boston, where he oversaw the development of a wealth advisory platform. Prior to that, he spent 12 years in the private client services group of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
Ensuring Liquidity and Equity for the Future
"We are excited to join AMG Wealth Partners as we believe their unique approach serves the best interests of our clients, partners and employees," said Veritable CEO Michael Stolper, who founded the firm in 1986, in a statement. "Veritable's success is based on our firm's culture, objectivity and commitment to client service, and our partnership with AMG ensures the preservation of these core principles – now and for future generations."
Affiliated Managers Group isn't a private equity firm, and it doesn't "flip" companies that it invests in. AMG's permanent partnership include the first investment that the firm made in 1994. As of Dec. 31, the aggregate assets under management of AMG's Affiliates were approximately $338 billion in more than 350 investment products.
"Over the next decade, the wealth management industry will benefit from favorable demographic trends, which will result in a significant increase in the number of high-net-worth individuals and drive growing demand for institutional-quality wealth advisory firms," said AMG Chairman and CEO Sean Healey in a statement. "Veritable's decision to join AMG Wealth Partners underscores the strength of our investment model and our reputation as the partner of choice for boutique firms."

Dear AAVSO Members,

It is a major fear for many Americans. In fact, there is excellent research to support the idea that Americans fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death. Moreover, while one may argue about their relative fearsomeness, the retirement fears themselves are extremely well-founded.
The wealth-to-income ratio for current workers is a good way to gauge their retirement preparedness, as the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College has pointed out. While that ratio maintained remarkable stability across all ages for many years before and leading up to the 2008-09 financial crisis, a report the CRR released in August discloses that these ratios dropped substantially in 2010, signaling even more serious problems ahead for future retirees.
The CRR's research is based upon the 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, the Federal Reserve's comprehensive triennial survey of household wealth in the United States in relation to prior such surveys (which began in 1983). The ratio in 2010, in the wake of the financial crisis and ensuing recession, was "way below" that for all the other survey years (and which wasn't all that hot to begin with).
The CRR emphasizes that retirees actually need to increase their wealth-to-income ratios well beyond previous levels for four reasons that are well-known to those of us who pay attention to such matters: significantly increased life expectancies; the shift from defined benefit plans, typically pensions, to defined contribution plans, typically 401(k)s; rising health care costs; and much lower real interest rates.
This research again shows what we have known for a long time. National retirement preparedness is not nearly what it needs to be and has been deficient for quite some time. Moreover, the recent financial crisis and ongoing economic difficulties have made a bad situation much worse.
An important new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research authored by James M. Poterba of MIT, Steven F. Venti of Dartmouth and David A. Wise of Harvard further demonstrates that these retirement fears are well-founded, but this time not from the perspective of retirement preparedness, but from the perspective of actual end-of-life experience. The astonishing (and terrifying) finding of the NBER study is that 46% of American seniors die with less than $10,000 in financial assets (including the present value of pension and annuity income).
Think about that for a moment. Nearly half of all Americans die essentially broke and entirely dependent upon Social Security payments and the kindness of others for support. Not only are they unable to withstand financial upheavals such as medical needs which are not covered by entitlement programs, but because Social Security payments are generally relatively low—they were never designed to be one's sole source of retirement income—these seniors live out their lives every single day in serious financial peril. Not surprisingly, this group was also in disproportionately in poor health during retirement too.
Most financial advisors and most retirement research understandably focus upon saving enough money for retirement and upon how to deal with that money during retirement. This new NBER research takes a unique approach by looking at how things actually play out and turn out.
Unfortunately, the data are clear that things play out and turn out quite poorly far too often and thus mirror the retirement preparedness research quite accurately.
The NBER study was centered on people who were age 70 and older in 1993 and kept looking at these seniors and their financial situations every two years for as long as they remained living (through 2008). It relied upon data collected in the ongoing Health and Retirement Study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Interestingly, the financial outcomes among three different sorts of retiree were often quite disparate. As a whole, married couples are far better off than single people. Only 26% of people in two-person households had annual incomes of under $20,000 and less than $10,000 in other financial assets at death. The number of retirees in that category among single people who had been married in retirement increased to 36% and, among those who had been single throughout retirement, the proportion increased to fully 52%.
The NBER study also provides some other interesting findings. For instance, those who enter retirement with more money live significantly longer. Moreover, retiree home equity declines substantially in the years just prior to death on account of major events such as the death of a spouse or entry into a nursing home facility. The basic findings of most retirement research are confirmed once again.
For obvious reasons, people without significant assets do not get a lot of attention from financial professionals. But it is clear that the message that we all need to save more and probably a lot more for retirement is not getting out and not being heard. Unless and until it does, financial professionals will not have a pool of prospects that is nearly as large as they would like and those they have will not have nearly as much money as either the advisors or the clients would like. To make matters worse, for the reasons described by the CRR research noted above and on account of a shaky economy since 2008 (which period was not covered by the NBER research), we can expect that the number of retirees without significant wealth can only increase, perhaps by a lot.
It is perfectly understandable that we in the investment management and financial planning businesses tend to focus our time and energy on investing retirement savings and on how best to distribute those asserts during retirement. However, it is also in our best interest to work at getting the message out about the "golden rule" of investing: save as much as you can as early as you can. As William J. Bernstein points out in his book The Investor's Manifesto: "Each dollar you do not save at 25 will mean two inflation-adjusted dollars that you will need to save if you start at age 35, four if you begin at 45, and eight if you start at 55. In practice, if you lack substantial savings at 45, you are in serious trouble."
Bernstein notes that while a 25-year-old should save at least 10% of his or her salary, a 45-year-old would need to save nearly half of his or her salary to get the same effect. "Most 45-year-olds will find this nearly impossible," he writes, "if for no other reason than the necessity of paying living expenses, payroll taxes, and income taxes."
Working toward the implementation of this golden rule would be a great thing for the economy (more investment) and the future (better retirement prospects). As Michael Burry (profiled by Michael Lewis in The Big Short) pointed out in his recent UCLA commencement address, we tend toward the "gospel of drunk drivers and cheating spouses" by taking on enormous long-term risk for short-term and limited gain. Instead, may we work toward and find effective means of reversing that tendency by emphasizing, reiterating and demonstrating the need for all of us to begin putting first things first.

CBOE Staff Knew of Problems in Advance
CBOE Holdings Inc. technology staff knew of software issues in the hours before the largest U.S. options exchange suffered a three-hour outage, according to people briefed on discussions among CBOE officials.
Staffers at the company, which operates the Chicago Board Options Exchange, were confident they could fix the issues, CBOE executives have told colleagues and others outside the company. One area of focus by CBOE Thursday and Friday has been whether the exchange should have moved to a backup system to be safe, the people briefed on the discussions said.

Gainward GTX 560 Ti Phantom is almost 19cm long, compared to the reference 22,9cm (9 inches). However, Gainward's card is wider – Phantom cooling is 2.5 slots wide whereas the reference card is two slots wide.
Phantom cooler comes with 4 heatpipes and two 80mm fans. The fans are placed inside the large heatsink so a glance at the card would suggest that the card is passively cooled. The fans are very quiet so we guess there would be no harm in assuming that.
As far as video outs go, we have here the classic Gainward's Quattro-ports design, i.e. two dual link DVIs, HDMI and VGA out. Note that only two video outs can be used simultaneously. Nvidia included an HDMI sound device within the GPU, so there is no need for connecting the card to your motherboard's/soundcard's SPDIF out to get audio and video via HDMI.
GTX 560 TI comes with one SLI connector. This means you can combine up to two GTX 560 Ti cards in SLI mode for improved performance or image quality settings.
The Gainward Geforce GTX 560 Ti Phantom uses 1024 MB video memory. The chips used are K4G10325FE-HC04 parts from Samsung. They are specified to run at 1250 MHz (5000 MHz GDDR5 effective).
OnSemi's NCP5395T is a cost-effective voltage regulator. It does not offer I2C voltage control, but a VID based control is available through API in NVIDIA's driver.
The card has two 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors.
The GTX 560 Ti Phantom's packaging is similar to that of GTX 580 Phantom cards, only smaller. As you can see from the picture below, the larger box (GTX 580) says Phantom 3, meaning three fans. Our GTX 560 Ti Phantom comes with two fans.

As always, the SHOT Show – that is the Shooting Hunting Outdoors Trade show, in Las Vegas was a great get together of industry and retail players and this year didn't disappoint. Here are the trends we have seen most clearly. Upgraded steel is really the major theme. Cold Steel is upgrading their whole line and that is the major reason at we have so many of the older ones at such great prices so please don't delay in getting any models you want at the ridiculously low prices they are at. Quartermaster has a smaller Roper model that is lighter and smaller and really a usable version of a great knife. It has lots of great new features. Then they have some new models titled after the Back to the Future movies. More details later.
Folders with replaceable blades were all over either using the same standard staple blades that Havelon uses or a proprietary one like Outdoor Edge. Cast hatchets were popular from many vendors including SOG Gerber and others. Kershaw has some really extraordinary models all made in the USA. they are priced right too and we will eagerly await their arrival. ZT models coming out are really smaller than they have been and really will fill the niche for people who want a carry knife for their pants pocket. Benchmade is solidifying their hunting products with more fixed blades as well as a new lock system. Look for all the new items at the KnifeCenter first!

ZAATARI, Jordan (AP) — Western efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad shifted dramatically Wednesday, with Britain announcing it will deal directly with rebel military leaders and Turkey saying NATO members have discussed using Patriot missiles to protect a safe zone inside Syria.
The developments came within hours of Barack Obama's re-election, with U.S. allies anticipating a new, bolder approach from the American president to end the deadlocked civil war that has killed more than 36,000 people since an uprising against Assad began in March 2011.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, visiting a camp Wednesday for Syrian refugees in Jordan, said the U.S., Britain and other allies should do more to "shape the opposition" into a coherent force and open channels of communication directly with rebel military commanders.
Previously, Britain and the U.S. have acknowledged contacts only with exile groups and political opposition figures — some connected to rebel forces — inside Syria.
"There is an opportunity for Britain, for America, for Saudi Arabia, Jordan and like-minded allies to come together and try to help shape the opposition, outside Syria and inside Syria," Cameron said. "And try to help them achieve their goal, which is our goal of a Syria without Assad."
The Turkish official who reported Patriot missile discussions between his nation and its allies, including the United States, said planning for the safe zone inside Syria had been put on hold pending the U.S. election.
The foreign ministry official spoke on condition of anonymity because of ministry prohibitions on contact with the media.
He also said any missile deployment might happen under a "NATO umbrella," though NATO has insisted it will not intervene without a clear United Nations mandate.
"With the re-election of Obama, what you have is a strong confidence on the British side that the U.S. administration will be engaged more on Syria from the get-go," said Shashank Joshi, an analyst at London's Royal United Services Institute, a military and security think tank.
On the ground in Syria, rebels were making a new push into the capital Wednesday, clashing heavily with troops in the suburbs of Damascus, including Ghouta and Harasta. The regime's capital stronghold has seen a surge in violence this week with some of the fiercest clashes in months.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees said the Syrian military was shelling another suburb, Beit Saham, with tanks and mortars, killing at least 18 people in that neighborhood alone.
In London, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said talks with rebel military leaders would not involve advice on military tactics or support for their operations. Hague also insisted that Britain would not consider offering weapons to Assad's opponents.
Face-to-face meetings with military figures will take place outside Syria, Hague said. Diplomats from the U.S., Britain, France and Turkey are already scheduled to meet with Syrian opposition groups on Thursday in Doha, Qatar, though there has been no announcement that those talks will include discussion with rebel fighters.
He said U.K. diplomats will tell rebel commanders to respect the human rights of captured Assad loyalists, amid concern over abuses carried out by both sides.
"In all contacts, my officials will stress the importance of respecting human rights and international human rights norms, rejecting extremism and terrorism, and working towards peaceful political transition," Hague told lawmakers.
At the Zaatari camp, which houses about 40,000 of the estimated 236,000 people who have fled into Jordan from Syria, Cameron said he would press Obama at the first opportunity to drive forward efforts to end the 19-month-old conflict.
Cameron plans to convene a meeting of Britain's National Security Council in London devoted entirely to Syria and discuss how the U.K. can encourage Obama to pursue a more direct strategy.
"Right here in Jordan I am hearing appalling stories about what has happened inside Syria, so one of the first things I want to talk to Barack about is how we must do more to try and solve this crisis," he said.
Talks with those who had fled the violence had redoubled his "determination that now, with a newly-elected American president, we have got to do more to help this part of the world, to help Syria achieve transition," Cameron added.
He flew to the camp by helicopter with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh and announced that Britain would offer an extra 14 million pounds ($22 million) in humanitarian aid, bringing its total funding to 53.5 million pounds ($85.5 million) — making it the second largest donor after the United States.
Cameron later held talks with Jordan's King Abdullah II in the capital, Amman.

"Justified" is my favorite show in the world that I've only seen 3 episodes of. I don't remember if Joelle Carter was in the episodes I've seen but she looks kind of familiar so let's all get excited that she's been added to the cast of the upcoming Lionsgate film "Jessabelle". Carter will play the mother of a girl who's forced to return to her father's home after she loses the use of her legs. I hope she knows the "I Have No Legs" song.
Marc D. Evans has gone on record that the plan is for "The Strangers 2" to begin production this fall and that a director will be chosen shortly. I don't believe him. Let's move on.
Have a loved one with an upcoming birthday you want to ruin? Well good news! "A Serbian Film" will finally see a limited unedited US release on May 22nd. The news comes after months of legal issues and forced edits to get the film ready for US shelves. Why this giant mess is being allowed I have no idea but I assume the discussion went something like, "fine if you pricks want to cry yourselves to sleep for a week then be my guest!"
Edward Norton, Gael Garcia Bernal and Rebecca Hall, and Sean Penn are all apparently in talks to take on roles in the upcoming "Robocop" remake. I mean they're all looking to play different roles. Although that would be kind of awesome if they all played Robocop. Like some sort of giant weird Hollywood Voltron. I'd like Ed Norton to be the head, please. I just like the cut of that guy's jib.
Moon the police and then taunt them with your genitals and you will get tasered. That's simple math. It's in all the text books.
Now that we've all agreed that global warming is kind of awesome the "ass dial" has become the biggest problem facing the world today. Case in point, this Washington man who stole a car and accidentally dialed 911 from the phone that was in his pocket.

Another year gone by, another year wondering when that first test win will come. The passing year had its ups and downs. Starting at Zimbabwe and then the West Indies series where Bangladesh had a chance in all the games. Those two series were good for a claim about test status however it was all forgotten after the Asia Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and New Zealand series. Then, when we thought Bangladesh were about to hit rock bottom came Mohammad Ashraful with a magnificent 158*. That inspired Bangladesh in the one-day series and they finished the year with a bang, becoming favorites for the Zimbabwe series. 2004 was a year of comebacks, milestones, birth and the victorious rebirth.
2004 Stat Fact
by James Stedman
Published: 1st January, 2005
Bangladesh (Test Performance):
8 tests played, 6 tests lost and one washed out draw and the first earned draw. Still doesn't read too well. They had the upper hand in only 1 test of the year. Four different centurions for the year, 3 come in the same match. That match at Gros Islet was the highlight of the year for sure resulted in the only draw that was earned. Highest total in an innings of 416, three centuries, a declaration and a first innings lead. None of the other tests came even close to that sorts of achievement. There was only one more century that year which came in December by Mohammad Ashraful and they didn't pass 400 again. Nor did they declare or have a first innings lead. They conceded their largest total in an innings of 559 against New Zealand and the most they could restrict a team to was 352, nothing like the 175 of the previous year. This shows that Bangladesh bowled worse than they did last year and the averages will prove that point. In 2003 the bowling average for Bangladesh was 45.7 while in 2004 the bowling average was a disgraceful 56.1, nothing to write home about. However the batting was better, averaging 22.8 as opposed to 20.4 last year.
Bangladesh (ODI Performance):
Five years of waiting ended with the first one-dayer of the year and the first match under the leadership of Habibul Bashar. Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by 8 runs. They could have won that series with some unlikely heroes coming forward. Tareq Aziz and Khaled Mahmud. The only difference between the sides was the experience of Heath Streak, a presence that will be missed in 2005. On to the West Indies, rain affected shortened matches. They almost started that one as they did against Zimbabwe, losing by a single wicket. Manjural Islam played his best game to date. Bangladesh had a chance in the other two but the West Indies showed off their talent and won comfortably. The Asia Cup did start with a win thankfully. You would hope that they would beat Hong Kong and they did so easily. However the rest of that series, the Champions Trophy and the New Zealand series shouldn't be talked of. However they could have won the first game against New Zealand, chasing down just over 200, Bangladesh reminded us of what they're capable of, collapsing to be 87 all out. Against India in the first match they never looked like winning however some late order hitting made the result look closer than the game was, losing by 11 runs. Then on December 26 they got what they wanted, a victory over India, the win was due to some great fielding. Due to Rajin's fine fielding he kept his place in the team and finished the year with a fine 82 to see Bangladesh past 250 for the first time in 3 years. Three wins after a drought of five years. 19 matches, 3 wins and 16 losses read a lot better than 2003's 21 matches, 20 losses and one no result. 2003 reads better in that the most they conceded then was 323 as opposed to the 348 of 2004. The batting average for the year was 19.2 a whole two runs better than last and the bowling average 32.1 is far better than 43.5 of the previous year. 2004, the year Bangladesh learned the one-day game.
Khaled Mahmud:
Another up-and-down year for the ex-captain and the rollercoaster ride continues. After being dumped as captain, Khaled Mahmud abruptly retired from international cricket. This caused tears from several players and the BCB convinced him to change the decision, making him available for the one-dayers. He made himself count taking 17 wickets at 32.64. It took him past 50 for his career and he almost won Bangladesh the series against Zimbabwe taking 4-19, his first 4-for and the best ODI figures for Bangladesh at the time. He has been instrumental in all 3 wins against test playing nations and so is a proven match winner. Even better he conceded 4.63 an over, a great econ for the one-day game. He has made vital cameo innings, having a whack around at the end against India, Hong Kong and playing a great supporting role to Mohammad Ashraful's 31 ball 50. However for every good innings there was a bad one, finishing the year with 181 runs at 13.92 and a highest score of only 34*. The decision to come out of retirement was proven to be a good one and now he makes the team purely as a bowler
Mashrafe made immediate impact on return
Mashrafe Mortaza:
Missing for 11 months of the year, Mashrafe returned from a career threatening injury against India and straight away being regarded as the best Bangladeshi bowler, he troubled all the batsmen, dismissing Dravid with a beauty on his return. He bowled many overs, showing he was fitter than ever. He took 5 wickets in the two innings he bowled in at 37 runs per wicket. He was overworked in Dhaka and so in Chittagong he bowled shorter spells and it worked for him. Taking 3-60 and made his presence felt. In the second one-dayer at Dhaka he really showed how much he was missed, taking 2-37 and hitting a magnificent 31* his highest score at the time. Also taking a great catch, Mashrafe had a great allround game and claiming "man of the match" honors as Bangladesh produced a historic victory. The next day was a different story, a full strength India hit him for over 60 runs and he went wicketless. However he didn't stop producing with the bat though, hitting a very quick 39. From the two one dayers he played he scored 70 runs at a strike rate of 118.64.
Mohammad Ashraful:
After some time off Mohammad Ashraful returned to take the field against Zimbabwe and almost returned in the best possible way. He played adventurously and was unlucky to be dismissed for 98. He hit half-centuries in his first innings against West Indies, New Zealand and India and being the most productive batsman of the year. But no-one would have imagined what was to come in Chittagong. He took on Harbhajan and was on top of the attack, playing a sensational 158* off about 190 balls. He didn't get enough support due to some poor umpiring decisions but it was the highest score by any Bangladeshi batsmen in the history of international cricket and helped his team score over 300. Ashraful hit 520 runs in 2004 at 40, much more than any other Bangladeshi with 1 century and 4 fifties. He hit two half centuries in the shorter form of the game, one a mature 66 against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup and the other came off 31 balls, the fastest fifty for Bangladesh which won Bangladesh their first game in five years. Ashraful finished the year with 332 one-day runs at 18.44.
Mohammad Rafique:
It was an interesting year for Mohammad Rafique. He didn't dominate as he did in 2003 but he was always performing and taking wickets. He was unlucky to finish the year with only 1 five wicket haul. He was robbed of several wickets in one innings against New Zealand and produced one spell against India that ripped through their middle-lower orders. In 2004 he took 25 test wickets at 39, not a patch on his 33 last year but still more than any other Bangladeshi and broke into the PWC's top 20 bowlers list. His bowling didn't raise as many eyebrows as his batting, hitting his maiden test century against the West Indies at Gros Islet. He batted with the tail and got great support from number 11 Tareq Aziz to hit his highest first-class score and take the total over 400. He scored 377 runs in 2004 at 26.94, only bettered by Mohammad Ashraful. His one-day batting wasn't that good though, being moved up the order against India. At the end of the year Rafique had 150 runs at 10.71. The left arm spinner grabbed himself 17 one-day wickets at 37, taking him past 50 in his career and claiming his first 4-for against New Zealand.
Aftab Ahmed:
Picked from the under 19's Aftab Ahmed made his test debut against New Zealand. He didn't do anything special hitting 28 and 20, but in a year of surprises his one-day bowling performance certainly came out of the blue. Bowling for the first time in an international match Aftab ran through the New Zealand batting lineup and claimed 5-31, the only 5-for by a Bangladeshi. He finished the year with 6 one-day wickets at 20.16. He played one more test in 2004, at his home ground in Chittagong scoring 43 and 5, finishing with an average of 23.75. He was picked as a batsman and he proved that with 65 against India and in the same match a direct throw at the stumps to end the match on December 26 with a historic winning note. An exciting batsman and fielder and only 19 years old, Aftab is a good prospect for the future.
Habibul Bashar:
His batting let down many a fans and he got criticism for his captaincy. But through it all he has become the most successful captain in just a year. Suffering from thumb and toe injures, Bashar only managed 6 tests in 2004 and didn't produce what was expected of him. Throwing away his wicket time after time, it is apparent that Bashar has learned nothing. His annual average of 27.09 was lifted significantly by his highest score, 113 in Gros Islet. It was a fine innings in a lousy year for the captain and his lack of runs in the one-day game continued, hitting 266 runs at 16.62. It can't be easy having the weight of a nation on your shoulders, and a fifty out of the blue, the much needed wins and lack of a replacement has been enough to ensure that Bashar retains the captaincy and a regular slot in the first XI.

Barry University's Dr. Robert Snyder co-authors article in prestigious medical journal
Barry University's Dr. Robert Synder has co-authored an article detailing the results of a [mid-stage] phase 2b trial for a unique cell-based therapy in venous leg ulcers. Synder is director of Clinical Research & professor of podiatric medicine.
By: Barry University
The article and findings were recently published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet.*
The study evaluated HP802-247, an investigational allogeneic living cell bioformulation containing keratinocytes and fibroblasts currently being developed by Healthpoint Biotherapeutics for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
Venous leg ulcers affect approximately 2.5 million Americans and are caused by high blood pressure in the veins. These wounds, which typically occur on the lower legs, are increasingly common and costly, and a cause of prolonged pain and suffering for patients. Because many venous ulcers fail to heal with standard treatment, the availability of innovative and more effective treatment strategies for such high-risk wounds could provide tremendous benefits to both patients and society.
The trial results showed that approximately 70 percent of subjects in the active treatment group receiving the optimal observed dose of HP802-247 achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks compared with 46 percent in the vehicle control group.
"These significant findings are a hopeful sign for the millions of patients and their families who are currently suffering from these often debilitating wounds," noted Dr. Snyder, who also serves as president of the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care.
Following the favorable results achieved in this trial, a multicenter Phase 3 study for HP802-247 is scheduled to begin later this year. Snyder and the Paul & Margaret Brand Research Center will again be a participating study center.
For more information on the Phase III trial, contact: Robert Snyder, DPM, 777 East 25th Street, Suite 316, Hialeah, FL 33013 Telephone: 305-836-
*Citation: Kirsner RS, Marston WA, Snyder RJ, Lee TD, Cargill DI, Slade HB. Spray applied cell therapy with human allogeneic fibroblasts and keratinocytes for the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers: a phase 2, multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

The New Lenox Citizen Corps Council, working through the New Lenox Police Department, has developed and implemented the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program for the New Lenox community. This program has been launched in many communities throughout the state with the assistance of the Illinois Citizen Corps Council, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The CERT program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.
The CERT course is taught in the community by a trained team of first responders who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course conducted by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. CERT training includes disaster preparedness, fire safety / suppression, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue operations, CERT organization, disaster psychology, and terrorism. CERT training also includes a course review, written examination and a disaster-related exercise which tests basic CERT skills taught during the course.
For those interested in taking the FREE 20-Hour Basic CERT Course or for additional information, contact Daniel Martin, Safe Community Coordinator, at (815) 462-6493, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to visit the New Lenox CERT Facebook page too!

We fly directly to Frankfurt from London Heathrow. Choose British Airways for award-winning service and excellent flight deals with no hidden charges.
Filled with shiny glass and steel skyscrapers, Frankfurt am Main is often called Mainhattan by locals due to its spiky skyline and urban edge.
Continental Europe's main financial centre has an international reputation for being rather faceless, but under the surface Frankfurt remains an ancient, cultured place dating back to Roman times. Among the 40 odd museums that line its riverside, the 200 year old Städel is one of Germany's top four old master collections, while the city's small old town gives Frankfurt a convincingly antique core despite only being fully reconstructed in the 1980s. Beyond the city centre's glitter, the lanes of the Sachsenhausen area are full of old pubs serving apfelwein (local cider), while the gritty Ostend Docklands have some of Germany's best nightlife after Berlin. Frankfurt's hinterland is worth exploring too. The forested Taunus Mountains, a favourite location for bankers' villas, have views across the city, while the nearby spa town of Wiesbaden has kept its pre-war elegance.

UPDATE: I get inactive from time to time but it doesn't mean that I'm leaving the wiki for good.
DISCLAIMER! Why Naruto is the best:
|Naruto has the most complex story line, everything that happens is connected with each other. All characters have a back story which make sense and make you realize why this happens etc. You only have to be patient, the anime is really slow but the manga is the best. I believe you also have to be quite intelligent to understand the story and most of all have a heart. There are so many heartbreaking moments in Naruto and it has got the best morals, which are to never give up, never seek revenge, accept death, friends are really important, parents are really important, it motivates you, helps you to accept who you are and also accepts others for who they are, every villain in Naruto has been good at one point which shows you that nobody is evil you just have to know which path to take, what love means, success is only achieved with hard work, failure do happens, and lots more. I chose Naruto because these lessons you learned from Naruto will help you through your lifetime.
