B.S. reviews – Most of theses reviews were written by the same person. If you look, there are legitimate reviews in 2002, the next one is in 2005, then a couple in 2006 then one in 2008. Then there are 10 reviews in a row giving it 5 stars that were written in a 2 week period between September 6th and 21st 2009. What a load of horse cronkie. Try to be less obvious next time
It Takes a Village – East Village just might be the breeding ground for the next surge of patriotic pride. One visit here and you'll completely forget how upset you were over the sale of Budweiser to that Belgian company.
Unnatural Disaster – The men's bathroom is disgusting. It smells like vomit and pee. It was painted with white primer too. What a low rent place!
East to Wes – I went in there with some of my girlfriends the other night and we sat at the corner table. I was astonished by the arrogance of the bartender, Wes. He acted like he was God's gift to women or something. He must have been having a bad night because he barely said two words to us as he slung our drinks at us. We weren't expecting him to flirt with us but we didn't expect him to be downright rude. We asked for our bill and left. We headed to another bar where we were treated with a little more respect. We wound up spending over $200 that night (and we tipped accordingly). I am telling everyone I know what a lame place East Village is.
Don't beileve the BS – Obviously the owners or managers at EV have stacked some positive reviews to counteract the negative reviews on this site. This place is hardly worth 5 stars. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Today I went in and ordered the maple wings. What I got was the Buffalo wings. I thought, ok, I'll deal with it. The wings tasted terrible. The sauce wasn't hot nor did it evenly coat the wings. Then, about the 5th wing, I found a long blonde hair. I am shaved bald and brown-haired so it obviously wasn't mine. Then on the bottom of the basket underneath the wings I found pieces of food not belonging to my order that were undeterminable origin. I am abslutely disgusted with this place. I am sickened just thinking about my experience here today - so bad, that I am reporting them to the health department. I wouldn't give them one star but I had to so I could publish this review.
Our favorite when in Raleigh – No trip to NCSU would be complete without a stop here for good chow and cold suds. As long as you are "of age", you will be welcomed with open arms by the staff and fellow patrons, as well. Two thumbs up for East Village - and thanks to Jo for her hospitality!
My Favorite Bar – This review is coming from a guy who has been to nearly every bar in Raleigh. During my lengthy tenure at NC State, I went to bars all over the area. Once I came accross East Village, I knew I had a winner. The Coors Light special is tough to beat, and the staff is phenomenal. I will always go back to East Village and have recommend many others to do the same.
#1 Bar in Raleigh – During my time at N.C. State University I spent the majority of my weekend nights trolling from bar to bar in search of a good time. It wasn't until I graduated and was introduced to East Village that I had my own "college bar." East Village is everything you could want: cheap drinks, great food, outdoor seating, and an excellent staff. The staff goes out of their way to ensure you will too call them your favorite college bar. From the smiling faces when you walk in the door to the exceptional service this bar knows how to treat the customer.
If anyone is searching for a great atmosphere, where you will be treated right than East Village is your place. You will not be disappointed you did.
What a great place - with great people!! – I could not agree more with the posting below - the one about a great college bar. I went to Penn State and had a favorite bar there - "The Skeller" - and East Village has all the same great qualities!! Over the last 1o years 3 of my sons have attended (and graduated from) NCSU and this is simply the best place to go to have a relaxing and fun evening with one or more of your kids. The bartenders and waitstaff there are fabulous - they are fun, attentive to your needs, and simply make you want to come back again and again. In all the years I have been going to East Village, I have NEVER seen anything like what was described below in a negative review.
If you are reading this to decide if you want to go to East Village, my suggestion is to go and decide for yourself - you will be glad that you did!!!!
College Bar Great for Parents too – As a father of a son, who is spending his second year at NC State University, I have spent my fair share of evenings enjoying the overall atmosphere that the East Village Deck provides. I wanted to be sure to go out of my way and recommend East Village to anyone that is looking for a good college bar. As soon as I stepped out onto the front deck, it immediately took me back to my days in college at my favorite bar, "The Sloth". There is no subsitution for the feeling you get when you enjoy a cold beer as the sun sets over hillsborough st. Not only is the bar great, but the entire wait staff and bartenders quickly accomodate to every need. In my opinion there is not a better place to get a good meal, and a good beverage after a long day.

SPARKS –– The second of two Nevada fundraising walks in support of the Brain Injury Association of Nevada (BIAN) takes place today at the Sparks Marina, check-in beginning at 9:00 a.m, where Mayor Geno Martini will present BIAN with a Proclamation. The First Annual Statewide Walk for Thought will raise critical funds to provide resources and programs to thousands of Nevadans that live with a brain injury.
"Although there has been recent media attention to brain injury, it remains underfunded, poorly understood and misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, despite the fact that brain injury affects more people than breast cancer, colon cancer and HIV/AIDs," said Teresa Morros, Chairperson of BIAN Walk for Thought. "Brain Injury is a very real and complex medical condition that creates the need for long term or even life-long assistance, which is why we need as much support as possible.
BIAN does not receive any federal or state funding. This organization relies solely on donations. Individuals and teams of family members, co-workers, students and friends are encouraged to raise funds to help carry out BIAN's mission. All donations are tax deductible.
The walk is one to two miles and participants walk at their own pace. There will be music, food and a raffle at the event. Exhibitors will provide information on brain injury and other resources. Registration for adults is $25, students K-12 or person with brain injury are $15 and children younger than five are free. Paid registration includes a Walk for Thought T-shirt.
For more information on BIAN or the Walk for Thought visit www.bianv.org.

Alternative Names
Herpes zoster
Definition of Shingles
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful, blistering skin rash due to the varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
After you get chickenpox, the virus remains inactive (becomes dormant) in certain nerves in the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes active again in these nerves years later.
The first symptom is usually one-sided pain, tingling, or burning. The pain and burning may be severe and is usually present before any rash appears.
Signs and tests
Your doctor can make the diagnosis by looking at your skin and asking questions about your medical history.
Your doctor may prescribe a medicine that fights the virus, called an antiviral. The drug helps reduce pain and complications and shorten the course of the disease. Acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir may be used.
Expectations (prognosis)
Herpes zoster usually clears in 2 to 3 weeks and rarely recurs. If the virus affects the nerves that control movement (the motor nerves), you may have temporary or permanent weakness or paralysis.

WASAGA BEACH – A 49-year-old Wasaga Beach woman died Monday after a snowmobile crash.
Anne Pichler succumbed to her injuries Monday night at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto after police say, for a yet to be determined reason, she crashed into a tree.
She was rushed to Collingwood General and Marine Hospital at about 4:30 p.m. and airlifted to Toronto from there.
At the time of the crash, Pichler was on a snowmobile trail off Freethy Road, west of Klondike Park Road, part of the OFSC "B" Trail.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing, said police, and a post mortem is scheduled today (Feb. 6) at the Office of the Chief Coroner in Toronto.
Pichler will be remembered at a reception at Studs Lonigans Pub in Wasaga Beach Saturday after the funeral service.
Visitation is at Carruthers and Davidson Funeral Home in Wasaga Beach on Friday, Feb. 8 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The funeral will be Saturday, Feb. 9 at 11 a.m., at the same location.
Pichler is survived by husband Kevin Booth, sons Christoper and Bradley, mother Pat, sister Kim and brother Michael.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Pichler's name to the Alzheimer's Society.

New Environmental Protection Agency rules for power plants go into effect on Sept. 20 and a new report details how Texas power plants are one of the leading causes of global warming in the country.
Environment Texas Executive Director Luke Metzger said their study shows Texas is the leading nation when it comes to power plant pollution. Texas is home to two of the dirtiest plants in the United States in the Martin Lake Plant, located south of Longview, and the W.A. Parish Plant, which is just outside of Houston.
The Texas Freedom Network say book review teams for the State Board of Education are pressuring publishing companies to change how climate change and evolution are presented in next year's biology textbooks.
The SBOE set up several groups to review different textbooks and this week their comments and suggested changes have been made public.
Texas Freedom Network's Executive Director Kathy Miller said they suspected that the review teams would go after evolution and climate change.
In the first segment:
September is National Hunger Action Month and campaigns to raise awareness on hunger in America are going on across the country.
The idea of a medical school on the campus of Fox Tech High School has taken a major step forward with an agreement between San Antonio Independent School District and the University of the Incarnate Word.
The letter is currently only agreed-to terms between the SAISD and UIW and the full contract is still in negotiations.
UIW wants to build a medical school, and Fox Tech, now a magnet-only campus, has an empty football field. Per the agreement, the SAISD will supply 2.5 acres of land to the UIW for 25 years. A cash payment of $1.5 million would be made over two years.
A recent Fort Sam Houston ISD Cole High School game found the cheerleaders, pep squad, and band all out in support of their team running plays on the field. And it's likely none of these kids had any idea that their education programs are being threatened by a governmental body that school officials say is not doing its job.
San Antonio's Magik Theatre is celebrating its 20th anniversary season this year and Executive Director Richard Rosen credits the theater's longevity to what the kids get out of it.
"It gives them so much about how to share and how to think together and how to work together," Rosen said.
The Magik creates professional stage productions all year long, performing on the road, in area schools, and in its theater on South Alamo Street.
With Attorney General Greg Abbott now advising the Texas National Guard about the legal side of their refusal to process federal same-sex couple benefits, a group of House Democrats are urging Maj. Gen. John Nichols, the head of the Texas National Guard, to rescind his decision and start processing the benefits.
But the issue is more complex than you might imagine.
The non-discrimination ordinance has passed, but opponents are not giving up their fight.
Opponents of the ordinance are retaliating against Mayor Julián Castro and each of the eight council members who voted to pass the measure -- they are gathering signatures for recall petitions.
On Aug. 10, District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal was holding his regular Coffee with the Councilman event at Linda's Mexican Restaurant #2.
But this time the room was populated with opponents of the LGBT non-discrimination ordinance.
If an amendment remains in place when San Antonio City Council votes on the budget this week, then the doors at city libraries will stay open all week long.
Library board chair Jean Brady cautioned that nothing is final until the city council votes Thursday on the proposed budget. But right now it looks like library funding will be restored to keep branch libraries open.
"If this funding's been restored then that means we'll be at seven days a week doing business as usual," Brady said Monday. "We're delighted."
The UT Health Science Center announced this weekend it had received a gift from the Greehey Family Foundation that puts the Campaign for the Future of Health over its goal of $500 million dollars.
Before an audience of 1,500 attending the president's gala Saturday night, UT Health Science Center President Dr. William Henrich announced the $5 million gift from the Greeheys.
Henrich told the audience that the Health Science Center needed a champion and he couldn't think of a better one for this campaign. The Greeheys also had contributed a record $25 million in 2007.

Stephenie Meyer, whose books inspired the "Twilight" (2008) movies, now presents a new way for true love to struggle against itself. In the "Twilight" world, characters were invited to become vampires to share more fully the lives of those they loved. "The Host" presents a possibility that, if anything, is a deeper commitment. Earth has been invaded by a race of "souls" who inhabit human bodies, stripping them of their memories and identities. It's the way the alien race survives and spreads.
We meet Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), who through some sort of glitch, is inhabited by an alien soul but still retains, there inside her mind, her own identity. This leads to interior conversations between the Soul Melanie and the Earth Melanie. Soul Melanie (known as Wanderer) falls in love with Earth Melanie, even though in theory this isn't possible because the Wanderer has become Melanie. This intimate form of self-love leads to dialogue that will possibly be found humorous by some people. When Wanda is about to kiss the boy she loves, for example, the film uses voiceover to warn her: "No, Melanie! Wrong! No! He's from another planet!"
True, in our own lives, we pick up warnings on that frequency: No! You'll get pregnant! No! He's from the other side of town! No! He's your best friend's boyfriend!" I imagine this as a version of one of those debates where little angels with harps and devils with pitchforks perch on your shoulders.
Much of the film is set in New Mexico, where a band of surviving humans hides inside an "almost" extinct volcano. Using sunlight reflected by walls of mirrors they can crank up and down, they raise crops for their agrarian eco-system.
Melanie and her soul venture forth to find her other Stryder relatives. They are united with Jeb (William Hurt, a bearded patriarch), Maggie (Frances Fisher) and young Jamie (Chandler Canterbury). They hide from soul patrols in search cars and helicopters, allowing "The Host" to get by with a few simple sets, including a tunnel that always looks like the same tunnel. The Souls are determined to track down all evaders, and at the outset I gather they've already enlisted more or less all the humans on Earth, except for members of the Stryder family.
"The Host" was directed by Andrew Niccol, who co-wrote the script with Stephenie Meyer. Niccol is attracted to films about humans living (whether they realize it or not) in artificial societies. He wrote "The Truman Show" (1998), about a man living inside his own reality show and observed on TV by humankind, and directed "Gattaca," about another kind of artificial society. His films' ground rules limit the depth and variety of possible relationships, and "The Host" is top-heavy with profound, sonorous conversations, all tending to sound like farewells. The movie is so consistently pitched at the same note, indeed, that the structure robs it of possibilities for dramatic tension.

iRobot® Roomba® 595 Pet Vacuum Cleaning Robot
Item #657550
This item may currently be in stock at your local Costco warehouse for immediate purchase at a cash and carry price.
Robotic vacuums are not to be used as a primary vacuum. They're meant as supplemental cleaning between regular vacuuming.
The Roomba® 595 Pet does the vacuuming for you. Using its patented three-stage cleaning system, Roomba removes dirt, pet hair and much more while automatically adjusting to clean carpets, hardwood, tile and linoleum floors as it moves through your home.
The Roomba 595 Pet utilizes AeroVac™ technology to maximize air flow through its cleaning head, pulling hair and debris off the brushes and evenly into the bin. The new simplified brush design utilizes innovative composition and technology for easier, stress-free maintenance.
iRobot's iAdapt® Responsive Cleaning Technology, an advanced system of software and sensors, allows the Roomba 595 to respond to and engage with your home environment so it can vacuum more of your room more thoroughly. Roomba vacuums every section of your room multiple times, getting into areas you can't easily reach, including under furniture and around everyday obstacles, vacuuming until the job is complete.
The Roomba 595 can be easily scheduled to clean whenever you want—up to seven times per week. The included Virtual Walls® confine the robot to specific rooms and areas so it cleans only where you want. Once Roomba has finished cleaning, it automatically returns to its Home Base® to dock and recharge between cycles. All you need to do is press "Clean" and let the robot do the work.
The Roomba 595 Pet delivers an enhanced value to pet owners; everything you need to maintain Roomba is already in the box including extra AeroVac™ filters, brushes and cleaning tools.

Iranian researchers suggest that increasing intake of whole grains may reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
A total of 827 participants (357 men and 470 women), aged 18 to 74 years, volunteered dietary intake information to the researchers using a food frequency questionnaire. Average consumption of whole and refined grains was 93 and 201 grams per day, respectively.
"Both men and women reported higher intakes of refined grain than of whole grains," write the researchers.
Participants who ate more whole grains had lower prevalence of metabolic risk factors. Those who ate more refined grains had higher prevalence of metabolic risk factors, except for diabetes.
Higher consumption of refined grains was also associated with higher odds of having high cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

"Come visit and let us create together vacation memories full of joy and laughter."
Gary and Cathy Reinards friends and business associates often comment on how different they both are, that they are complete opposites, like two bookends each with their own strengths and weaknesses that need each other to hold everything together.
Gary and Cathy met over 25 years ago through their jobs, as Cathy was selling bearings to the Power Transmission distributor Gary was a manager for. Copake KOA is the third business Gary and Cathy have owned together and the second campground. Their professional corporate backgrounds gave them the expertise to successfully operate their own businesses.
Gary and Cathy love camping. In fact that was one of the major reasons they sold their first campground they never got to camp anymore themselves. Lucky for them this campground is seasonal which does give them some time to go camping in their fifth wheel toy hauler during the off season when Gary is not doing a renovation project with the winter staff. Camping at other campgrounds always brings them home full of ideas from other campgrounds to implement at their park.
It took multiple visits to this previously independent campground which could best be described as a diamond in the rough before Gary and Cathy decided this was the one. They purchased this campground in the Fall of 2009. Gary immediately began renovating and upgrading the park with the goal to become part of the KOA family.
Cathy and Gary love being campground owners and are always willing to share their stories, dreams and ideas with anyone who is thinking about owning their own campground. They know they would have never been campground owners without the help and advice of other campground owners. In their minds the best thing about the campground business is that your so called competitors are truly your friends.

"Eveyone I have shown this to agrees this is a beautiful invitation. I am very happy with the look, feel and quality of the images on the invitiation. I will order from them again for all my party invitations, thank you notes and cards in the future."
"I bought this invitation for my daughter's second birthday. I choose the rounded edges and pearl paper. The card was gorgeous. Everyone complimented on how nice it looked and how perfect it was for her county fair themed birthday party. Very happy with this card, super adorable and playful."
"We recently ordered our 3 year old daughters birthday invitations from Tiny Prints. The party is at a Pony Farm so naturally we chose. 'Just Horsing Around'. They were delivered right on time and they were adorable. The invitation quality is fantastic! The print is good... Cannot complain. Envelopes were superior quality and I do appreciate the fact Tiny Prints were very open with the possibility of extra postage for our envelope size/shape, I'm not sure I would have caught that! They are exactly what I expected! I will most definitely order again in December for our next child's birthday!"
"I ordered this design for my daughter's 2nd birthday and i love it. Not only i like the design but the delivery of tiny print is so fast. Thumps up to you guys! Thank you!"
"I used this design for my daughter's first birthday party and everyone loved it!! I really like how the design allows you to add multiple photos and change the text. I had my invitations sent directly to the guests and they were all mailed quickly. My only minor complaint is that I used professional high quality photos but still found the print quality to be a little grainy (which is not surprising since it is printed on top of pink paper, not white). I would have also liked to have seen additionals options for glossy printing and heavier card stocks. FYI - This product includes 5 additional copies that will be sent to your home address. This was not obvious in the product description so I added myself & my husband as recipients to make sure we had extras. In the end, we had plenty!"

Law and Development Practicum in Kampala
May 28 to June 20, 2014 — four (4) units
The Law and Development Practicum is a three-week program in Kampala, Uganda, that combines a seminar and work on a project. Students will work together in teams in a court, with a government agency, with a private law firm, or with a non-governmental organization. All placements will have a legal focus. The seminar will run concurrently with the projects. The seminar will focus on development issues in an emerging economy and particularly on the importance of legal infrastructure. Seminar topics will vary each year, but may include the justice sector, commercial law, environmental law, corporate law, or other areas that are evolving in East Africa. The projects and seminar will be supervised by a Pacific McGeorge professor and the staff of the International Law Institute-African Centre for Legal Excellence (ILI-ACLE).
Students will work in the court or other project site approximately 20 hours per week. Each team of students will meet with a Pacific McGeorge Professor once a week to discuss the specific project on which they are working.
In the seminar portion of the program, law students from East Africa will study with the American students, so there will be an opportunity to get to know students from another country. Professors, lawyers, and judges from East Africa will be guest lecturers in the seminar. ILI-ACLE has a strong relationship with universities, courts, government agencies, and private law firms throughout East Africa so the seminar will include highly accomplished guest speakers. Students' grades will be based on a combination of the written work product from the project and either an exam or another method of assessment for the seminar.
Enrollment in the Law and Development Practicum is limited to 25 U.S. law students. In 2013, eleven students, all from Pacific McGeorge, participated in the Practicum. In 2014, the program must enroll a minimum of 17 students to operate the Practicum. In addition, up to 10 law students from Uganda and nearby East African countries will be enrolled in the seminar.
Instructional Excursions to Local Legal Institutions
Visits to two legal institutions will take place during the program. Kampala is a national and regional center. The major Ugandan courts are in Kampala as are the key government agencies. Possible excursions include the High Court, Parliament, the Amnesty Commission, and the Ministry of Justice.
Recreational Excursions — Safari for 2014
In addition to the legally-focused excursions, at least one recreational excursion will be organized by the program. A safari is planned for 2014. Other optional activities include rafting on the Nile River and seeing the rare mountain gorillas.

Boat Pose (Naukasana)
Nauka = Boat, Asana = Posture or Pose
This yoga posture has been named after the shape it takes – that of a boat. Naukasana is prounced as NAUK-AAHS-uh-nuh.
How to do Boat Pose (Naukasana)
- Lie on your back with your feet together and arms beside your body.
- Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, lift your chest and feet off the ground, stretching your arms towards your feet.
- Your eyes, fingers and toes should be in a line.
- Feel the tension in your navel area as the abdominal muscles contract.
- Keep breathing deeply and easily while maintaining the pose.
- As you exhale, come back to the ground slowly and relax.
It also forms a part of the Padma Sadhana sequence, where this yoga pose is practiced after Dhanurasana (Bow Pose).
Benefits of Boat Pose (Naukasana)
- Strengthens the back and abdominal muscles
- Tones the leg and arm muscles
- Useful for people with hernia
- Do not practice this yoga pose if you have low blood pressure, severe headache, migraine, or if you have suffered from some chronic diseases or spinal disorders in the recent past
- Women should avoid doing Boat pose (Naukasana) during pregnancy and during the first two days of the menstrual cycle.
Yoga practice helps develop the body and mind bringing a lot of health benefits yet is not a substitute for medicine. It is important to learn and practice yoga postures under the supervision of a trained Sri Sri Yoga teacher. In case of any medical condition, practice yoga postures after consulting a doctor and a Sri Sri Yoga teacher. Find a Sri Sri Yoga course at an Art of Living Center near you.

Market selloff will stop when the 'smart money' quits sellingMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli11 days ago
The stock market will stop quaking when the smart money is through selling. That might sound glib or obvious — something that's more or less true by definition of each market drop. But it's a particularly fitting observation now, because the current market tremors are more a matter of Wall Street's elephants running from risk than the ground giving way underneath the economic recovery. The dominant themes of the sharp pullback have been a reversal of the winning investment trades of 2013 (which got very crowded and expensive), a rush by startup-backers and buyout artists to jam stock offerings into new investors' hands, and heavy selling of shares by corporate insiders. This is all on the up-and-up, and all are typical features of a bull market. Yet there was just too strong a sense in recent weeks that those early to many winning ideas were done pressing their bets and wanted to – or were forced to – cash them in. Consider: The first quarter saw the highest volume of initial public offerings since 2000, with 70% of debuting companies having yet to turn profitable. About a third of the deals in the past month had traded below their offer price, a sign that supply was swamping demand or that the quality of the companies was slipping. The offering for Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY), while a relative victory for the U.S. government, which rescued it with a big investment during the financial crisis, has sagged in its first two days on the market, a decent example of supply-driven action. For good measure, Kenneth Moelis, the veteran investment banker who began at Michael Milken's Drexel Burnham Lambert ion the 1980s, is looking to take his 7-year-old advisory firm Moelis & Co. public at a $1.5 billion valuation. Private-equity firms have been exiting rapidly from companies they bought in recent years. According to data tracker Dealogic, buyout firms have raised $13 billion this year in 31 IPOs of their portfolio companies, a record level to this point in any year. Blackstone Group's secondary offering of 15 million SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. (SEAS) shares — about one-sixth of all outstanding equity — as the company reported weak results further sent a message of the sharp guys ringing the register. Corporate insiders have been selling heavily in recent months, as executives take advantageof all-time highs in many stocks and the big indexes. While this isn't a great market-timing indicator – and selling always tends to be active ahead of the tax deadline following a great year for stocks, as 2013 was – it fits neatly with the story that those with the best knowledge of businesses are not seeing good value in their shares. Perhaps most important to the day-to-day action, certain popular hedge-fund positions — no doubt amplified by margin-borrowing balances at all-time highs — have been upended. Merrill Lynch global strategist Michael Hartnett points out that the winners so far in 2014 (emerging-markets stocks, bonds and gold up) match exactly
As Twitter insiders prepare to cash in, investment firm vies to helpMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli13 days ago
When Adam Nash mentions that he twice hit the Silicon Valley IPO jackpot as a tech-startup employee before age 40, he doesn't expect anyone to feel sorry for him. Still, the experience of being enriched as a senior executive of LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD) in 2011, and before that as a project manager at e-commerce software maker Preview Systems Inc. in 1999, presented its own unfamiliar challenges. Like thousands of other young members of fast-growing companies, he suddenly found himself with a block of an employer's stock representing a large portion of his net worth and facing a variety of questions about whether, how, when and how much to sell, what to do about taxes and where to put the proceeds. Now, as CEO of the fast-growing software-driven investment firm Wealthfront, Nash is helping create a product to handle this process for the current generation of IPO beneficiaries, beginning with a large group of Twitter Inc. (TWTR) insiders who will be able to sell an aggregate $20 billion worth of shares come May 6. The company is unveiling a single-stock diversification service, initially for Twitter employees only but eventually for all clients, which automates the process of selling shares, covering taxes and reallocating the proceeds among spending needs and a long-term investment portfolio. While a limited number of Twitter-insider shares were freed for sale in February, on May 6 the broadest restrictions on selling by current and former employees and early Twitter investors will be lifted. A total of some 475 million shares, valued at $20 billion based on the stock's current price of $42.41, will be unlocked for potential sale.
'Irrational' sense of fairness fuels furor over high-frequency tradingMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli14 days ago
Any parent knows a surprise treat will draw complaints from the kid with the slightly smaller piece of candy. And grownups love a cheap lunch – unless we think someone else is getting a free one. It's an established fact of behavioral research: Even if people are getting a good deal they did nothing to earn, they tend to become indignant when they think others are getting a better one.
This helps explain part of the public's stance of righteous outrage over high-frequency stock trading practices, which have been thrown into harsh light by the release of Michael Lewis's book "Flash Boys" and the author's repeated characterization of the market as "rigged" in favor of these algorithm-wielding middlemen. Small investors, whether they acknowledge it or not, are tremendous beneficiaries of the cutthroat cyber-jockeying among electronic trading firms. Competition for public orders and a huge investment in the technological plumbing of the markets have given stay-at-home investors $8 commissions and instant trade executions at the best available price for a stock or exchange-traded fund.
As Sears cuts Lands' End loose, investors should hold fastMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli18 days ago
Like emails pushing discounted polo shirts and beach totes, shares of Lands' End Inc. will arrive unbidden in the accounts of Sears Holdings Inc. (SHLD) shareholders Friday evening. Such investors should welcome the gift and hang on to Lands' End stock, given its sturdy brand, prospects for financial improvement and the broadly favorable track record of investing in corporate spinoffs. The deal is good news for Sears, too, representing further progress in chairman and principal shareholder Edward Lampert's long effort to realize the value of the company's better business assets and store real estate as the core Sears and Kmart retail operations continue to erode. Before liberating Lands' End, which Sears bought in 2002 for $1.9 billion, Lampert had hived off most of Sears Canada Ltd., Sears Hardware and Outdoor Stores Inc. (SHOS) and Orchard Supply (which later filed for bankruptcy), and the company has also said it might look for ways to separate or sell its automotive-service unit and a warranty business. All the while, Sears is actively marketing many of its 2,000 stores (of which it owns 700) for sale, re-lease or redevelopment. Sears shareholders of record as of March 24 will receive 0.300795 shares of Lands' End for each Sears Holdings share they own. Lampert, importantly, will own 48.4% of Lands' End upon the distribution of shares, matching his ownership of Sears. Lands' End shares, which will begin trading formally Monday on the Nasdaq under the symbol "LE," have already been trading on a "when-issued" basis for the past couple of weeks, under the ticker "LEDMV". At a recent share price of $32, Lands' End carried a market value of $1 billion – near the upper end of the anticipated range based on several comparable companies. In February, I suggested Joseph A. Bank Clothiers Inc.'s (JOSB) deal to buy Eddie Bauer (which was later terminated when Men's Wearhouse made a $1.8 billion cash deal to buy Jos. A Bank) offered a rough gauge of Lands' End potential value, and arrived at $1 billion as the higher end of fair value.
Rising food prices pinch consumers, but could enrich investorsMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli19 days ago
Drought and severe cold mean hardship for farmers and headaches for strapped consumers facing higher grocery prices. But on Wall Street, the severe California water shortage and extreme winter weather conditions across the country are among reasons to warm to agriculture-related investments, which appear well-positioned to continue recovering after having spoiled in the commodity bust of recent years. Large harvests and cash exiting from the once-popular "commodity trade" among fund managers led to a serious slump in crop prices last year. But so far in 2014, the PowerShares DB Agriculture exchange-traded fund (DBA) has climbed 15% in price. This fund invests directly in a broad spectrum of crop and livestock commodity futures. This likely means an end of the brief reprieve from food inflation U.S. households were granted in 2013. The USDA forecasts retail food prices as a whole are likely to climb 2.5% to 3.5% in 2014, driven largely by drought-impacted supply strains on fruits, vegetables, dairy products and eggs.
No, the stock market isn't 'rigged.' A primer on speed tradingMichael Santoli at Michael Santoli21 days ago
Life is too short to waste time worrying over computer traders that sift the stock market for pennies with millisecond maneuvers. The phenomenon of "high-frequency trading" has gone from obscure cyber-nuisance to popular phantom menace in recent days. Credit — or blame — the release of Michael Lewis's book on this Wall Street subculture, called "Flash Boys," and his comments in a 60 Minutes segment Sunday that the stock market is "rigged" against ordinary investors and in favor of predatory software fraudsters exploiting arcane trading rules and enormous computing power for easy gain. This burst of media focus on the electronic scrum that occurs in suburban server farms was followed Tuesday by news the FBI is investigating potential insider-trading violations by unnamed HFT players who might have acted on information slightly ahead of when it becomes public to most investors. These storylines reinforce an abiding mood of public suspicion toward Wall Street institutions — one stoked in the tech bust more than a decade ago and fed potent fuel by the credit fraud and recklessness behind the 2008-'09 financial crisis. Yet the narrative of crooked computer sharpies feasting on the retirement accounts of grandma is simplistic and mostly wrong-minded. While certain HFT practices are of questionable value, and all unfair information advantages should be eliminated, here's a bit of perspective on this issue. While the U.S. equity market is maddeningly convoluted and open to all sorts of loophole-seeking gamesmanship, the fact is that, for small investors, trading stocks has never been cheaper, faster or fairer. Meanwhile, the middleman profits collected by HFT players are a fraction of their peak a few years ago and represent a trivial cost for investors as a whole.
Could Jos. A. Bank's Eddie Bauer buy boost Sears?Michael Santoli2 mths ago
For years now, an investment in Sears Holdings Inc. (SHLD) has mostly hinged on how much the company's various bits and pieces were worth to someone else on the open market. The next bit of Sears merchandise expected to hit the market is Lands' End, the venerable direct seller of clothing and outdoor gear the company acquired for $1.9 billion in 2002. Sears is now preparing to spin Lands' End off to shareholders.
Fed's in retreat, but shortage of safe bonds persistsMichael Santoli2 mths ago
Even after the world's most voracious consumer of bonds pushes away from the table, there still probably won't be enough safe, nourishing government and mortgage-backed debt to satisfy investors' appetite for it.
This reality should dampen or forestall any rise in interest rates, while also squeezing some investors into somewhat riskier investments than they would prefer -- or, in a worst-case scenario, riskier than they are equipped to handle should financial markets become unsettled.
The Federal Reserve began scaling back its purchases of Treasury and federal-agency mortgage securities in December, reducing its monthly buying to $75 billion from the $85 billion pace that had been in place since September 2012. That was cut further, to $65 billion, last month, and, barring severe erosion in economic growth indicators, the Fed is expected to continue this "tapering" process until bond-buying sunsets by the end of the year.
'Old Tech' could be on the verge of a new shakeupMichael Santoli2 mths ago
Old folks' yard sales feature spare parts of what once were important life pursuits.
Similar wistful divestitures are occurring in the more mature neighborhoods of the technology industry. Aged giants are busy selling off once-exciting businesses now disused or faded, as they seek to simplify and perhaps fund a livelier new life phase.
The leaders of technology in the 1990s or earlier – the winners of the personal-computer, business-software and cell-phone revolutions – have, since the deflation of the tech bubble in 2000, become cash-rich, low-growth manicurists of a legacy that holds little innate appeal to today's investors.
Of the 10 largest tech stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, a sector tracked by the Technology Select Sector SPDR fund (XLK), eight were public companies before 2000. Those stocks – with Apple Inc. (AAPL) the largest and Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) the smallest – have an average forward price-to-earnings multiple of 11.4, compared with more than 15-times for the S&P 500 as a whole.
If this were 2013, the market correction would be over. But now?Michael Santoli2 mths ago
If the 2014 stock market were playing by the rules of 2013, then the recent gut-punch decline has been swift, deep and fright-inducing enough to reset over-optimistic expectations and gather up strength for a renewed climb before too long.
This, admittedly, is a big "if." Last year's tape was among the kindest to investors in recent decades, a broad and steep 30% advance in the headline indexes with only the briefest and most modest downside interruptions.
With Federal Reserve policy in transition to a less-generous mode, stocks somewhat more expensive based on corporate profits and the bull market another year older, 2013 might indeed prove to have been the"easiest year of this bull market," as I wrote here in November. Marginally less Fed stimulus, hints of a less-aggressive Bank of Japan and several other measures imply this could be a year with somewhat more volatility in the indexes and churning beneath the surface.

A short par 5, this opening hole doglegs right to left. The drive is slightly uphill to a narrow landing area, guarded by one prominent bunker. Accuracy is the key to setting up your second shot to the elevated green. With out of bounds to the right and bunkers to the left, an aggressive second shot will reward with a birdie chance, but most players will lay up with an iron. Risk & reward or play safe? Either way, a great start to the course is 'on'.
A difficult par three hole and the first of the four short holes on the course. The green nestles in the hillside against a stunning back-drop of mature trees. A good strike is required to carry the deep bunkers that threaten to the left and front of the green. If in doubt, lay up and chip close for par.
With a dogleg right to left around two majestic Lime trees, this is a tough par 4. Setting up the drive is crucial to keep the green in sight. The green sits below fairway level so good judgement is required for the second shot. Trouble lies to the left and back of the green so beware, but positive shots will be rewarded.
This long, straight par four demands a good drive down the middle of the fairway to open up the green for a medium to long iron approach shot. Trouble awaits either side of the fairway along the length of the hole and bunkers thirty yards short and to the left of the green must be avoided. A great par 4.
A slightly elevated tee provides this par 3 hole with a good view of the green and spectacular views of the River Clyde. The green is guarded by an expansive bunker to the left side and is situated close to the river walk and out of bounds so an accurate tee shot is required if you are to walk away with a par.
This straight par 4 plays alongside the river walk towards the green which is dominated by mature trees to the right. A strong drive is needed to avoid the fairway bunker and pond on the right hand side and to open up your approach to the green. The putting surface is large and undulating so club selection will be important to make sure you stay out of the greenside bunkers. Two well-placed shots will be rewarded.
The mature trees that dominate this part of the Earl of Mar estate determined the layout and design of this par four hole. A decision has to be made at the tee - if you drive to the right, the hole is narrower between the trees that shape the hole right to left; or play straight away and the fairway is blocked with rough and mounding but will ultimately be more open and forgiving. The green is surrounded by bunkers so a shorter second shot may be the best way to play the hole - the challenge is yours.
This short par four plays slightly left to right but the fairway slopes from the right which helps keep the ball away from the rare Turkey oak tree guarding that side of the hole. Watch out for the big bunker as this will catch shots pulled to the left. The green is elevated and well protected with deep bunkers so aim to use a short iron or wedge for control on your second shot.
The front nine concludes with a straight par 4. Two good shots are required to reach the green and a well-placed tee shot is a must if you are to avoid the big bunker on the right hand side of the fairway. A good drive will open up the green but beware of the large tree in front and to the left on your approach. The putting surface is elevated and well protected with deep bunkers.
A very short par three, this opening hole on the back nine requires an accurate tee shot. The green is surrounded by mature trees giving a well defined target but trouble lurks with bunkers on both sides and a steep run off adds to the challenge. It may be the shortest hole on the course but it should not be readily dismissed.
This long par four enjoys an elevated tee position. A drive favouring the left hand side of the fairway should give the best line into the green. A bunker guards the putting surface so go for a long approach shot as anything short and to the right will land in trouble. You'll need two good shots to walk away with par.
Another tough par four, this hole plays uphill and into the prevailing wind. The fairway landing area is generous but the second shot is the key to the hole and must be struck well to carry the large bunker in front and to the left of the green. Short and to the right will leave a tricky chip to the raised green. The putting surface is quite dangerous and falls quickly off to the left hand side.
The thirteenth is a medium to short par four with a slight dogleg left to right. The left hand side of the fairway runs parallel to the upper woodland area and provides the best approach into the green. Several well positioned bunkers and steep terrain threaten on the right so do your best to stay left and take advantage of the large green.
This short right to left par four is one of the most picturesque on the course. Flanked by mature trees and the backdrop of the river and Kilpatrick Hills beyond, the hole runs slightly downhill and requires a drive favouring the right hand side of the fairway. The bunkers will catch the straight shot or someone trying to cut too much off the dogleg so beware. A well positioned drive opens up the green and gives the best line into the flag. A well struck short iron or wedge will be rewarded.
The 15th offers a great birdie opportunity but trouble lurks all the way down the left of this hole so keep your drive to the right side of the fairway. This is a relatively easy par five laid out between several mature trees which point the way to the green but those trees can also cause problems for the errant shot. Avoid the trees and the green will provide some interesting putting and more good scores.
A generous fairway that doglegs right to left looks easiest and most attractive to hit on the right, but favour that route and you'll only lengthen the second shot and give yourself a more difficult approach. The ideal line is as close to the fairway bunkers as possible, allowing a shorter and more elevated second shot. The green is narrow from front to back so club selection is important here. The pin positions can also be tricky so the middle of the green is a good result.
The last of the par three's on the course is dominated by a mature oak and acer tree to the left and a back drop of Sitka spruce trees. A bunker guards shots from the middle to the left hand side of the green so the challenge and difficulty on this hole depends on the pin position. The ball can gather from the right hand side so it may be worth considering an approach with a long iron or rescue wood.
This closing hole doglegs left to right, and requires a well positioned drive to avoid the fairway bunkers and mature oak tree. The second shot is uphill to a large platform green that slopes quickly from back to front, providing some interesting putts for the gallery in the clubhouse. En route, the fairway slopes from right to left providing some assistance for the ball to gather and roll and offering good views of the putting surface. Accuracy from the tee and a positive second shot with plenty of club is required to finish the course on a high note.

I absolutely love this story, keep going, I do like imagining Dudley as a wizard who's power wasn't realized.
I really enjoyed this story - but, I really wish that you would finish it! It's been a couple of years - I think it's time!
I feel like it's an extension of hp..from jkr's pen :D LOVE. can't wait for the next one :)
this was amazing! it must've been painstaking work, literally putting together all newspaper articles we've come across since the first book. Hats off :)
OMG!!! How unusual? But fortuitous. If they can teach him something to help protect his parents. SS came to miind, when they were teaching Duds Wingardiun Leviosa. Hermione corrected Ron about the pronunciation too!. I do hope you write the next chapter quickly as I and your other readers are hungry to see Dudleys lessons. Of course Vernons reaction is going to be legendary!!
Oh my word! I supposed Augusta got the idea from the fact that Duds was able to play Wizards Chess. If Dudley was magical he too would have gone to Hogwarts. But who knows? I will go on, as I cannot wait to see what happens next.
It wouldn't be the year of DH if they were out of danger that fast. For being a former big lump of mean, Dudley sure thought fast on his feet and helped loads! Petunia will be so proud, Vernon on the other hand will be livid. I must go to the next.
And the Plot thickens. I know it was probably after this that Dean had to run and met up with Ted Tonks and Griphook. But what about Duds?
At last Petunia admits just what is the basis of her hatred of Magic. Dean Thomas has arrived. He will be another source of information for Dudley. This will be a very interesting circumstance.
PS When will someone langlock Vernon again?
Fascinating! I wondering if putting Dudders in the attic will lead to a bit of weight loss? I am a bit curious. Why would Neville be in the least room in the Mansion? I'm sure there are more rooms than that. Unless Nev likes his privacy. I wonder if Neville and Duds will meet up? Hmmmmm?
I think Dudley must be getting smarter. He has already caught on that the Twins sense of humour is a bit warped. Now I do believe that a confrontation between Augusta and Vernon will be highlly entertaining. I also believe he will be cowed. Must go on.
The fat walrus still doesn't get it. I realise he is scared of Magic, but now it's what will save his life. Life is about to get even more interesting.
I think Petunia would have treated Harry better, if it weren't for Vernon. Before they left, it seemed that Petunia wanted to say something to Harry, but stopped. Family is so very important. Perhaps if she and Duds knew more they could somehow convince Vernon how much danger they are in? I have hope.

I only wish Petunia could have heard it. Perhaps she would have more respect for Harry.
Oh my! It's great that Duds is taking an interest. I must go to the next.
Terrifc, just terrific!
I decided to reread your story so that I can read all the updates in my email box. After reading this first chapter again I remember just how much I enjoyed it the first time. Of course anytime someone puts a langlock on Vernon gets high praise from me. I must go on.
pls update

The 24" West Slope Cutthroat - British Columbia
|Towards the end of the day on August 16, 2005,
I was fishing a tributary of the Elk River in British Columbia. I'd already
caught my share of nice fish but the late afternoon action had slowed down
quite a bit. I had another hour or so to fish before heading back into Alberta
with the group of fishermen we had brought here to fish with.
As I rounded a bend in the river I caught a glimpse of very large fish
about 40 yards away on the far side of good sized flat rock just above
the water line. I sat down on the bank to see if he would come up again.
Sure enough, he rose several times in a period of 10 minutes. Interestingly
enough he was the only fish in this section of the creek that was rising.
I started looking for my box of spinners. As luck would have it, I'd left it in the car - an hour round trip. How long will the fish keep rising? I decided to try to make do. Over a period of an hour I tried a variety of patterns including several jury rigged spinners. Every so often the fish would rise and reject the offering. After each cast I'd rest the fish before trying again. I wanted to catch him on the top so I stayed away from any sub-surface imitations.
After 45 minutes or so I tied on a brown beetle pattern with a bright
green underbody and black legs. On the first cast he took the fly without
