Q: How do hedge fund assets of U.S. households show up on the household balance sheet in the Financial Accounts?Posted: 02/26/2014
The answer depends on whether the hedge fund is onshore (domestic) or offshore (foreign). The following answer is also predicated on the assumption that all transactions are carried out through U.S. brokers.
Onshore: If the hedge fund is domestic (located in the U.S.) then it is easiest to think of them as being consolidated on the household balance sheet (like nonprofits). That is, the household balance sheet will pick up the portfolio holdings of hedge funds in bonds, stocks and any other financial instruments held by the hedge fund, but those holdings cannot be distinguished from direct household holdings of those financial instruments.
Offshore: If the hedge fund is located offshore (like in the Cayman Islands), then the hedge fund itself is part of the rest of the world sector. That is, purchases of U.S. stocks and bonds by an offshore hedge fund would show up in our estimate of net purchases of U.S. stocks and bonds by the rest of the world (thereby reducing U.S. households' direct holdings of those assets). These data on portfolio holdings are collected for the balance of payments statistics by surveying transactions of U.S. brokers/dealers.
If a U.S. household purchases a share of an offshore hedge fund, then it should show up in the data as an issuance of equity by the rest of the world, and therefore, by the residual calculation, it flows through as a purchase of equity by the household sector. This is clearly not ideal; we would much rather have a sector "hedge funds", which--like mutual funds--holds financial assets and issues hedge fund shares that are then held by the household sector and other institutional sectors that are reportedly participating in the market. However, including foreign hedge funds in equity holdings is probably better than missing them altogether.
Caveats/Concerns: Because the data collection process relies on brokers, the financial accounts do not include transactions in offshore hedge funds that do not involve brokers. For example, if a high net worth household bypasses a broker and buys a hedge fund share directly from the offshore hedge fund, then we would presumably not see the issuance of the hedge fund share in equity issuance by the rest of the world (and therefore, the purchase would not be on the household balance sheet). However, if that same hedge fund used a broker to buy U.S. assets, those assets would still be in the rest of the world sector, thereby reducing the assets held on the household balance sheet.
Similarly, any domestic hedge funds that are purchased by foreigners would show up in net purchases of U.S. equity by the rest of the world. However, because equity issuance measured in the U.S. does not include hedge funds, these purchases would distort downward U.S. households' direct equity holdings.
In addition, the level of foreign equity (ROW liability) is calculated based on a perpetual inventory calculation which moves the level forward with price changes based on a foreign equity index (which should not include hedge funds) as well as the flow of equity (which should include the hedge fund issuance by the rest of the world).
Q: How is the Securities Data Corporation (SDC) bond data used to calculate series FA103163003.Q in the Flow of Funds data set? Which categories of the SDC bond data do you focus on, and what are you using as a filter?Posted: 03/07/2013
For the Flow of Funds data, we use SDC to track bonds of nonfinancial U.S. firms issued in U.S. and foreign markets. A firm is a U.S. firm if issuing subsidiary's domicile is the United States. We include both convertible and non-convertible debt issues but exclude medium-term notes (MTNs), Certificates of Deposit, Bank Notes, and government and agency bonds. MTN net issuance is tracked using a separate data source.
Q: I have been looking at the Flow of Funds report Table F.212 - Net Issues and have some questions how the SDC Bond database is used.Posted: 03/07/2013; Revised: 04/05/2013
The SDC Bond data from CM is used only to calculate 103163003 (corporate sector) issuance.
1. The answers to questions 2 and 4 originally suggested that the Flow of Funds Accounts excluded financial bonds. The text has been updated to say that the Flow of Funds Accounts do contain financial bonds, but the SDC bond data from Capital Markets is used only for the "Nonfinancial corporate business" line of table 212, which only includes nonfinancial bonds.

Microsoft addressed a gap in its product licensing for businesses that rent out PCs by announcing an extra, one-time fee for Office and Windows.
Although countless kiosks, Internet cafes and business centers already rent time on Windows-based computers, the Microsoft Partner Network Web site indicates that Windows and Office system licenses do not permit renting, leasing, or outsourcing the software to third parties. Those that have done so have not been compliant with license requirements.
"Rental Rights are a simple way for organizations to get a waiver of these licensing restrictions through a one-time license transaction valid for the term of the underlying software license or life of the PC," according to the site.
Microsoft announced the new "Rental Rights" licensing on Jan. 1 for Windows and Office, adding it to the list of license types available worldwide. The company also announced a 30 percent discount on the license fees, available until June 30. With the discount, Rental Rights fees per software copy are $58 for Office Professional, $45 for Office Standard and $23 for Windows.
Enterprise customers won't be affected by the new pricing. However, the Rental Rights costs will be an additional expense for hotels, small businesses and office equipment leasing companies. Unaffected organizations include libraries, academic institutions, internal use (shared PCs) or traditional financing, such as rent-to-own programs.
Microsoft is merely plugging a hole in its licensing, according to Scott Braden, an analyst with NET(net) Inc.
"In the past, these types of business have skirted the gray areas of the license rules -- and in many cases stepped right across the line, since the Microsoft EULAs do clearly prohibit rental of the software," he stated in an e-mail. "I see this as a relatively minor announcement for many customers, but quite significant to those companies who are affected."
While the one-time fee is not significant for many businesses, major outsourcers may take a hit, Braden said. For example, for a company that has outsourced 2,000 PCs, Rental Rights fees will tack on roughly $50 per Office license in volume. The result is an unbudgeted $100,000 cost, due immediately.
Still, rental companies likely will be able to recoup the difference, according to Paul DeGroot, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft.
"I calculate that if you charge an extra 25 cents an hour and a PC gets used two hours a day during business hours, you'll get your money back in a bit over a year," he said.
Previously, companies renting out computers would have had to pay a monthly subscription fee through Microsoft's Services Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA). Microsoft has considered alternatives. In 2006, Microsoft researched "pay-as-you-go" licenses in several countries in which users could choose three- or six-month subscriptions.
DeGroot said that companies that rented out computers without licenses faced a difficult decision in the past -- choosing between the SPLA or shutting down. If enforcement had been too rigorous, DeGroot said, many would have chosen closure or, less likely, would have switched to Linux and OpenOffice.org.
DeGroot calls the new Rental Rights licensing a "velvet glove" approach to enforcement.
"For not a lot of extra money, you can keep doing what you're doing, but with Microsoft's blessing," he said. "I can't see it having much impact on upgrades, but it could have a measurable financial and antipiracy impact."
The idea of Microsoft issuing a new fee for something that was previously tolerated at no charge has met with critical opinion, although industry watchers have been more positive.
DeGroot noted that the agreement allows organizations that rent computers to get legal at a relatively low cost. In addition, Rental Rights are much more straightforward than SPLAs, which require legal review and special software to track license use. "This is a lot simpler, especially for a little guy," he said.
Companies with seasonal businesses involving holidays or tax time may find short-term rentals particularly attractive. Also, DeGroot suggested, because the one-time payment is simple, it could encourage new rental-only computer businesses in places like coffee shops and laundromats.
Both DeGroot and Braden said they were surprised that only Windows and Office are covered under the new licensing arrangement.
DeGroot suggested that Microsoft could consider making a broader product set available.
"People who need Visio and Project only occasionally, for example, might find it handy to sit down at a rental machine for the time they need them," he said. "It would also be interesting to see other vendors get into this game, notably Adobe."

Sorry, the broadcast analogy doesn't hold here since the PC with the already paid for software is always used by only one person at any time, not distributed for simultaneous use by multiple people, in which case charging for additional users would make sense.
Suppose I sell the PC to Person A for a day and buy it back for the price minus the equivalent price of the rental and keep doing this to multiple people, there would be no additional fee due to Microsoft for these kinds of transactions. One is allowed to sell a PC and the license goes with the PC. A rental of the whole PC, in effect, is equivalent to those two transactions.
People from Seattle may feel different.
This is hardly extortion. When you buy a film from Hollywood it doesn't give you the right to re-broadcast that film to the world for free and collect money without paying a fee. Sports bars pay a fee to show televised games that you can watch for fee at home. This is normal licensing.
This is no "velvet glove", it is extortion. Thousands of companies lease PC's each year where the lease company owns the equipment after paying vendor and then lets customer use for the lease period. When you buy the PC from Dell or HP the operating system is INCLUDED in the purchsae price so MSFT gets paid. Now, MSFT wants an ADDITIONAL fee which will make leasing far more expensive because you will be paying again for the same license. If this is fair then Dell and HP should refund the leasing company a portion of the purchase price related to the license that was no good and never used because the lease company new used the equipment. It in unfair to leasing. MSFT was not harmed by the prior process because 1 user (lessee) was using the PC and 1 license had been purchased from the vendor.

Christine Eckles, the longest tenured girls basketball coach in the High Desert League and second longest in the D-I North behind Douglas's Werner Christian, turned in her letter of retirement in late-January. She will finish out this season, and doesn't have any immediate plans to pursue another coaching position.
"I love coaching. I love the kids and competing," she said. "As for right now, it's time for my life to take on some new things. I don't know if I would say that I never will coach again. For now, I think it's the best decision for me and for Spanish Springs girls basketball.
"Definitely my kids and family are my priority. My son is getting older and I want my daughter to have opportunities to do things as well. I have some other professional goals that it's time for me to do. Another big piece of it for me is just taking better care of myself. There are really a lot of reasons that I think are all great reasons."
Eckles started her coaching career at her former high school, coaching the Reed freshman girls team in 1995-96 season and the Reed girls JV coach a year later.
She coached the Sparks girls varsity squad from 1999-2001 before taking over the fledgling Cougars program.
During her time on the sidelines at SSHS, the Cougars have gone 159-137. Spanish Springs qualified for the postseason in its third season -- the quickest any large school had reached the playoffs in northern Nevada in the past 40 years.
Sustained success was hard to come by in the early going. However, since the 2006-07 season, the Cougs have accumulated a 122-72 mark and are in the midst of seven straight winning seasons. Spanish Springs has not had a losing season since Eckles returned for the 2006-07 season following a one-year hiatus after the birth of her first child.
As a non-teacher, Eckles also works longer days and had to take time off from work to do basketball stuff. Eckles is looking forward to having some time that's not rushed.
"I work until 4, run home to get my kids and have dinner. Then I run practice from 7 to 9. I literally get about an hour and a half at home before going to practice and then going to bed and getting up to do it the next day," Eckles said. "Having more time to do that, it's going to be nice. I have to take time off from work to do basketball stuff, which I love to do. But this will give me the opportunity to do other things, and that's exciting.
"The amount of hours coaches put, in with summer ball and camps, watching film and stuff, a lot of times goes unnoticed. It's going to be interesting. I really like being busy, so it will definitely be a transition for me to have a little bit more free time. I think most importantly my kids will benefit from having their mom home more often."
The three-time HDL Coach of the Year has coached one Northern Region player of the year and 28 all-league kids. The quality of kids coming through the program is going to be the part she misses the most.
"I'm so grateful for the relationships my kids have had with my players and their families. The kids and their parents have loved my children and have brought great things into their lives," Eckles said. "To me, one of the saddest things about not coaching is that in order to give more time to my kids, my kids are going to miss out on those relationships with my players."
Eckles said she had always hoped that there would be a group of kids that she would enjoy less than others and it would make it easier to step away. That never happened during her stint at SSHS in which she is one of two head varsity coaches that has been on the sidelines since the school opened.
"There is always a great kid to replace another great kid. There are really great kids still left in the program that are very hard to walk away from and leave," Eckles said. "It became a reality to me that I would never have a group that I didn't like and didn't respect and didn't have good relationships with. So it ended up being a decision about what was best for me. It's a fantastic group to walk away with, kids that mean a lot to me and I have a ton of respect for."
SSHS Athletic Director Art Anderson said he won't post the job opening until after the season and hopes to have a new coach in place by the end of March.
He knows Eckles leaves some big shoes to fill.
"It's extremely difficult to lose a coach who has built a program and has been as dedicated and passionate to the program as she has been over the 12 years," Anderson said. "I've known Christine since when the school first opened and I was coaching right along with her and then becoming athletic director. It's been a pleasure to work with her the whole time. It was a difficult decision for her to make, and it will be a difficult process for us when we move forward in order to search for a new coach to replace her because the program is identified with her. We're entrusted with a difficult task to hopefully find somebody who is as dedicated and passionate as she was."

Why should you do a transformation? That's what YOU have to decide. Unless you have a really good "why," chances of you finishing and doing well are low. This is the most effective plan of its kind in the world, simple but not easy. You must have a really good reason to stick with it. As Porter Freeman always says, "you have to want it.
"H.O.W." you should do a transformation!
H onestly: This is self-honesty, not cash register honesty. This is making an agreement with yourself that you will not lie to others or yourself. Lying to yourself, by saying that you will do certain things, and then not doing them, has the same effect on you as someone else lying to you. You will lose confidence in yourself, and you will no longer have faith that you can accomplish what you set out to do.
O penly: This is agreeing that you will not hide from others. This is agreeing that you will not overeat in secret. This is being willing to quickly admit it when you have been wrong or gone wrong. This openness will free you from the chains of shame and guilt, and will help you have the energy to see this through.
W illingly: This is being available to others, both physically and emotionally. This is participating when you'd rather be sleeping. This is the exact opposite of hitting the snooze button. This is hitting the "here I go" button. This does not mean faking a good attitude. This is creating a good attitude by doing the next right thing in front of you.
HOW is not new with me—it's just an acronym to help you remember that these are three of the corner stones for living a consistent and joyful life. What would be the fourth cornerstone? For me, I think it would be "Helpfully." Someone who is helpful is seldom bored, deprived, upset or forgotten. Most all that is good in life is done or at least begun by helpful people. Helpful people are those who naturally think that they were placed on the earth in order to make it and those who dwell here better, happier and more effective. If you set your sights on being helpful, every problem you thought you had will have died of neglect by the time you return to it.
Good stuff, Mike!
"What you put in, is what you are going to get back."

Minnesota has a graduated driver's licensing (GDL) system, which is designed to ease inexperienced drivers into the driving environment. The first phase of the GDL system is to obtain an instruction permit.
Graduated License ProgramThe graduated driver's license law (GDL) compliments the existing driver's license program by introducing a provisional license stage for young drivers. It is a multi-tiered program, designed to ease young novice drivers into the driving environment.
The Graduated License Program provides three phases of licensing for persons under 18 years of age:
Phase I - Instruction PermitApplicant Qualifications:
The permit is valid for two years and may be renewed.It is illegal to practice driving without a valid instruction permit. When you drive, the instruction permit must be in immediate possession.Phase II - Provisional License
The provisional license is the second phase of the GDL system. Anyone 18 years of age or younger must hold an instruction permit for at least six months before taking a skills (road) test. When you have passed the skills (road) test, you may apply for your provisional license.To qualify for your provisional license you must:
This license is valid for two years from the application date and has restrictions that do not apply to a full driver's license. Every occupant must wear a seat belt or use a child passenger restraint system and you may not use or talk on a cell phone while driving. This includes using a hands-free cell phone device. Provisional drivers are subject to nighttime and passenger limitations.
Applicant Qualifications:
Parent's Role in Developing Safe Teen Drivers
Skills (Road) Test Checklist To qualify to take a skills (road test), you must:
Establishing Rules for Newly Licensed TeensStudies have found that the risk of a crash and ticket is highest during the first year of licensure. A natural strategy for mentoring new drivers comes from the combination of progressive privileges and rational consequences. Some parents find a written contract enhances the agreement they make with their teen driver about driving privileges (sample contract).
Step 1 Daylight conditions only
No passengers or limited number of passengers
No cell phone use
No cell phone use
Step 2 Nighttime driving, with a curfew and no passengers
More daytime passengers allowed
Step 3 Nighttime driving with one passenger
Step 4 All road and traffic conditions allowed
Step 5 Unrestricted privileges to drive

Vanessa's Law In memory of Vanessa Weiss, killed just days before her 16th birthday in May 2003, Vanessa's Law was passed a year later. She was a passenger in a vehicle driven by an unlicensed 15-year-old. Under Vanessa's Law, your provisional license will be revoked because of an impaired driving crime or crash-related moving violation; you lose your license until you are at least 18. If you commit these crimes as an unlicensed driver, you cannot apply for a permit until you are 18.
Provisions of this law:
An unlicensed teen who was convicted of a crash-related moving violation or an alcohol/controlled substance-related violation (a violation of one or more statutes, including DWI, Implied Consent, Open Bottle or Underage Drinking and Driving/Not a Drop Law will not be given a license, an instruction permit or provisional license until age 18.
After turning 18, s/he must meet the reinstatement requirement listed on the withdrawal notice(s), pass the knowledge (written) test for a class D driver's license and then make application for a Minnesota instruction permit. Once in possession of a valid instruction permit, the person must hold this instruction permit for at least six months before taking the skills (road) test (or at least three months if age 19 or older).
A provisional license holder whose driving privilege is revoked due to a crash-related moving violation or an alcohol/controlled substance-related violation cannot regain a license until age 18 or until the withdrawal period has concluded, whichever is longer.
At that time, the person must complete these steps to obtain a full driver's license: Comply with all requirements for reinstatement listed on the withdrawal notice. In most cases, this will be:serving the withdrawal period
passing DWI knowledge (written) test
paying $680 reinstatement fee
applying for a Minnesota driver's license
Complete a 30-hour classroom driver education course (an online computer course is unacceptable)
Apply for a Minnesota instruction permit (in addition to the driver's license, as above)
Once reinstated, hold the instruction permit for three months
During this three-month period, complete six hours of a behind-the-wheel driver education
If you have questions about Vanessa's Law, call (651) 296-2025. Read the letter sent to violators.Not A Drop Law (Underage Drinking and Driving Law)Not a Drop says that if an officer observes you operating or in physical control of a motor vehicle and determines that you have been drinking, and the court determines that you committed this offense, your driving privileges will be suspended for either 30 or 180 days. The length of suspension will depend on your prior record. Provisions of this law:
It is illegal for a person under age 21 to operate a motor vehicle while consuming alcoholic beverages or in the physical condition of having ingested an alcoholic beverage. If a person's alcohol concentration level is 0.08 or more, regular DWI laws may apply instead of the underage consumption-while-driving offense.

Top Six (6) Driving Risk Factors for TeensStatistics show that the leading cause of death in Minnesota's 15-17-year-olds is traffic crashes. The top six (6) driving risk factors for teens are:
Farm Work Licenses A qualified applicant (15, 16 or 17 years of age) may test for a farm work license at any time after receiving an instruction permit and completing behind-the-wheel training. The applicant must present a farm work affidavit and a property tax statement or rental agreement with the property tax statement for the rental property, along with a course completion card and an instruction permit at the time of the skills test.The farm work license is a provisional, under-21 license with a farm work restriction. The restriction on the license will read: "Valid for farm work, daylight only, 20-mile radius of farm, no driving in cities of the first class, or must be accompanied by licensed driver 21 or older."An applicant holds a farm work license and instruction permit for six months from the issue date of the instruction permit, or until age 16, whichever is longer, before removal of the farm work restriction. At that time, the applicant may apply for a duplicate provisional under 21 license if s/he has met the supervised driving requirements (30 hours/10 at night) and been conviction-free for the preceding six months, as required by the graduated driver's license law.A provisional, under-21 license will be issued, and the applicant then will follow the established path of the Graduated Drivers system (see above Policies and Procedures).If the applicant has reached the age of 18, s/he may apply for an under 21 license without further requirements.
Effective January 1, 2014, the driver's license filing fee which pays for the costs of the services provided in the driver's license/ID card issuance process, increases from $5 to $8, as required by Minn. Stat. 171.061, HF 1444, Chapter 117.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A strong effort, the 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron is the softest of all Delas's 2009 Northern Rhones, offering up notes of black olives, lychee nuts, raspberries and black currants.

There is good freshness and verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that exude a finer minerality that continues onto the gorgeously long finish. There is so much..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a taut wine, touched by yeast and warmed by ripe yellow fruit. Flavors of melon and spice from the new wood give it an open feel. It is ripe, already rounded and full bodied."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Less prominent oak fights less with the very fresh red pinot fruit and stone aromas.

By Gary Brown
Marquette Athletics Director Larry Williams is a high achiever. He has to be to keep up with his family.
Williams, a four-year letter-winner in football at Notre Dame with nine years directing athletics programs at Portland and Marquette under his belt, is surrounded by success.
He and Laura, a star tennis player herself when she met her future husband in South Bend, have five children, three of whom have played football at Yale. Sean graduated in 2010, Scott just finished his senior season and Eric completed his freshman campaign. The oldest child and only daughter, Kristin, graduated from Santa Clara in 2009, got her law degree at Marshall and recently accepted a job at Tulane. Youngest son Louis is in high school.
The gaggle of uber-accomplished offspring only bolsters Williams' commitment to the collegiate model. "I have a passion for the student-athlete who excels from a diverse set of experiences," he said.
The apples didn't have far to fall from a tree that began growing in Santa Ana, Calif., where Williams was enough of a football prodigy in high school to attract collegiate attention in the late 1970s, including from the Fighting Irish and Stanford. But most people might have assumed the accomplished lineman was headed to nearby Southern California, where the Trojans were churning out stars like Brad Budde, Anthony Munoz, Bruce Matthews and Don Mosebar (the latter two hosted Williams on his recruiting visit).
But Williams left the Golden State to soak up the aura of the Golden Dome on a fall football Saturday, which was unlike anything he had experienced on the West Coast. So were the pants he had to begin wearing once the smitten prospect signed.
"I had never been farther east than Arizona," said the man who previously never had to don much more than shorts. "It was an odd feeling to have pants that rubbed against my calves."
The outer wear didn't deter Williams' inner spirit. He flourished in South Bend at a time the team didn't meet expectations under Gerry Faust. But there were some peaks to accompany the valleys, like a road vanquishing of top-ranked Pittsburgh and a visit to Baton Rouge, where the football tradition was a little different than Williams was accustomed to.
"You take a bus to the stadium with a police escort of about 20 motorcycles that are going a million miles an hour and everyone is paying attention to it all – so the atmosphere is really ramped up – and you come out of the locker room and turn right to go into the stadium and there's a big stinkin' Bengal tiger in a cage right there – scared the bajeezers out of me," Williams said.
Williams was intimidating enough himself to be drafted by the Cleveland Browns, where he learned the difference between the collegiate and professional models the hard way.
Always with his nose to the grindstone, Williams earned a law degree while he was playing in the NFL and went into private practice after he hung up the cleats in 1992. Being a lawyer replaced his original goal of being a sportswriter upon entering college.
"It wasn't until I got out of school and into the pros and had spent a bunch of time around sportswriters that I realized … hmmm … maybe not what I want to do," Williams deadpanned. But hanging around lawyers didn't cut it for him, either. He missed the intense competition of athletics, particularly the collegiate kind.
So he went back to South Bend to direct the licensing and product marketing efforts at his alma mater from 1999 to 2003. In 2004, he landed the AD post at Portland, where he facilitated a championship women's soccer team, a nationally ranked men's basketball team, a Rhodes Scholarship finalist and several Fulbright winners.
Williams was named vice president and director of athletics at Marquette on Dec. 5, 2011. He took the reins from interim AD Mike Broeker, who is now the deputy AD.
"Larry is a high-integrity individual who believes heavily in the student-athlete model," Broeker said. "He has a definitive vision for the holistic approach to student-athlete development parallel to our university's Jesuit mission."
The Jesuit tradition has been a pattern for Williams, from Notre Dame to Portland to Marquette.
"That's part of who I am," Williams said. "It's not exclusively who I am, but I take great value from living in an environment I believe in, and I hope it makes me a better administrator."

Supportive Medication for Liver Problems in Dogs
It might be pertinent to mention at the start that there is no specific medication available for liver disease in dogs and cats. In most cases, medication only plays a supportive role and is prescribed according to the symptoms that are present. Various symptomatic treatments are used to manage the challenge thrown by different liver problems in cats and dogs.
- Corticosteroids : These are primarily used for reducing inflammation. They also provide a sense of well being. Corticosteroids must be given under the strict instructions of a veterinarian because overuse of this class of drugs actually causes liver disease. Any negligence of the part of the owner may aggravate the condition rather than curing it.
- Penicillamine and zinc acetate : To reduce the amount of copper in the liver. Certain breeds have a typical problem brought about by the inefficiency of their liver to eliminate copper, which leads to excessive accumulation of copper in the liver.
- Antibiotics : For treating liver infection or managing risk of secondary infections.
- Sucralfate and Cimetidine : These are indicated where symptoms like nausea and vomiting are shown by the dog. These are also used to prevent secretion of stomach acids that may cause ulcers.
- Diuretics : To decrease the accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity. A bloated stomach is a common symptom of liver disease, a condition known as ascites. If ascites is not treated it can cause difficulty in breathing by pressurizing the diaphragm.
- Intravenous or sub-cutaneous fluids : To compensate loss of water due to excessive urination, preventing dehydration and providing sufficient nutrition.
It is a typical situation when in comes to the drug treatment for liver problems in dogs and cats. The liver has to metabolize medications and if it is not functioning properly, it may require lower doses so that the medicine remains in the body for a longer period. Another challenge is added when liver disease is accompanied by other diseases like pancreas diseases in dogs and cats that spread to the liver.
No liver medication can be complete without proper dietary management. Liver problems are a direct result of the body demanding more work from the organ than it is structured to handle. Ingestion of foods that are rejected or unsuited for the dog's body should be avoided. Dogs require a properly balanced diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in fats with a moderate quantity of high-quality proteins.
In some cases there may be a need for a breed specific diet. For example, some breeds have a hard time metabolizing copper such as terriers and Dobermans. These breeds should especially be kept on a diet low in copper. That means restricting most commercial pet foods since they tend to have high levels of copper. Many types of liver diseases are not curable and a good management of the condition with supportive care, symptomatic treatment, and change in diet can allow the animal to live a comfortable life.

" This was a gift and it was by far the most valuable thing I was ever given for my son.

It goes on so easily, and I can get him off while asleep and remain asleep. None of the buckles..." --Pumpkin_Pie
Patapum Toddler Carrier
" We got this carrier because at 6 months my daughter was 22 pounds, and we knew we would want to carry her past the weight limits of some of the other carriers. I used this carrier until she got to be tall enough to hit the back of my knees with her feet, which was at around 3.5 years old. I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

Neighborhoods: Old City, Downtown Oakland
Awesome – There is a lot of bad press out there about Oakland but sitting either inside our outside of "B" you will wonder what it is all about. Great food, company and service.
best waiter ever! – I frequent this area often and Leonard at B is my favorite server down there. He is always spot on with his suggestions and will even try to accommodate my co workers special diets. The pork chop here is so good. Their take on pizza is really interesting. I love the way the cold mixed greens and warm dough combine to make for refreshing twist on a classic. The outdoor patio area is great during the summer months. If you haven't been to the old Oakland area, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Wow – I am rarely wowed by restaurants. Many are very good, but not wowed. B hlt a home run. We had the seared scallops as an appetizer, and they were wonderful. The brined pork chop was the best pork chop I have ever eaten. Two inches thick and every bite was juicy. We also had the roast quail, which was very good, but not as absolutely wonderful as the pork chop. The portion size was very good. Finished with the chocolate mousse with pumpkin seed brittle, and I am looking for the words to describe this dessert. "Out of this world" and "Nervana" seem trite, but only begin to describe it. When I'm in Oakland, B is my new spot.
b deserves an a+ – i heard of b through friends who had been to the SF location. so i got a group of my boyfriends together on a friday night and headed out for some dinner and drinks. we got to b right as dinner was getting into full swing..and were seated in a few minutes..our hostess (misty, i think) recommended we try the love on and the don riley, two of their specialty drinks..one was deliciously sweet, raspberry vodka and champagne, and the other a more subdued lemony tart iced tea concoction...the drinks were fantastic, and let me tell you friends, i know my drinks...we were greeted promptly by our fantastically gay waiter leonard...the menu was amazing!! tons of starters to share..we ordered mussels in pernod, with fennel and shallots, delicious veal meatballs that came in an unexpected roasted red pepper sauce, and the spinach salad with pancetta vinegrette, and smoked salmon salad with mache, and citrus creme fraich, all recommended by our waiter...did i mention he's a hottie too? the food was complex yet simple, rich and yet sublime...the first course was a knockout, so we ordered a bottle of wine...if you don't try the lemelson pinot noir, you are a fool! the restaurant was full, and the energy was amazing..entrees ordered were a meaty and firm swordfish with an arugula smashed potato and a citrus dressing of some sort, a beer braised shortrib that melted in your mouth finished with cranberry and orange gastrique, and one of the most delicious and fresh tasting broccoli rabe and ricotta cheese pizzas..light, crisp, and piping hot..the crowd was mostly young, hip thirty somethings, but there wasn't a pretentious vibe at all..the servers were calm and collected in the middle of a busy friday night..top notch service, amazing, well crafted food, great ambience, and an eye opening new view of what oakland has to offer..i was surprised to find the owners disguised as the hostess and pizza guy ( which is so cool) and can't wait to have another night at b!! i give them an a+
Great Place to Eat – Finally a place in Oakland that I like. the food is always delicious. If you are tired of shuffling over to the city on weeknight just to get a decent (unfried) meal then let me welcome you to the best of Old Oakland. The food and drinks here are delicious, I especially like the "Love On" with its delicious blend of champagne and vodka and raspberry puree.
Overrated, overrated, overrated – I work in downtown Oakland, and was excited to try this place - the space & location is great, and they have an outside dining area that looked appealing. I've been here on several occasions over the past 8 months, going for team lunches or business meetings, and this review is based on the multiple visits I've made.
The service is slow - even when you make an exception for the fact that there are 5-6 people in your party which might take longer than 2, it's ridiculously slow. The waiter doesn't write down your order (probably to maintain some level of ambience), then forgets half of the things. We had to remind him of what we ordered (drinks!), ask for water to be re-filled, asked for bread to be brought to the table, ask for the check....
The food is mediocre - you'd be better off foregoing the atmosphere for one of the Vietnamese or Thai places nearby, which have better food. The last time I was there, I ordered a grilled sandwich, which arrived cold and somewhat soggy. Our food took nearly 30 minutes to arrive AFTER the appetizers came out (we all ordered sandwiches and one person ordered pizza). I think I'm done with this place - I've given it the benefit of the doubt for too long, and I'm ready to support the mom & pop restaurants in the area instead.
Editorial Review – Downtown Old Oakland location of the popular Boxed Foods eatery features a more upscale setting and the same local-ingredient-driven cuisine.
Over-Priced and Under-Portioned – "B" provided a disappointing experience. The small space had a noise level that was deafening, making conversation impossible. Our cheery but inattentive server was rarely seen, never offering to refrresh our drinks or offer the cracked pepper she carried with her. Our meal started with a plate of four slices of bread sliced so thin they crumbled when picked up. A scant tablespoon of olive oil was included. Our appetizers and entrees were well executed but ridiculously tiny. We paid the outrageous bill and left the space still hungry!

About Us
How we started...
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra League, Inc. (CSOL®) is a multi-talented group of dedicated volunteers whose purpose is to support the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. We have done this for more than 40 years through music education programs, audience development, and a number of fundraising projects.
In 1964, a small group of women known as the "Women's Association," began soliciting funds for the symphony. Since 1983, when the name was changed to the CSOL®, this group has grown to become a diverse membership of more than 300 men and women who have provided an incredible amount of support for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
League members share their talents and expertise by contributing thousands of hours in planning and producing a wide variety of special projects. They include our annual "Benefit Ball", festive "Revels" parties, car sponsorships, plus house tours, including the League's annual "Symphony Designer Showhouse," and the promotion of our acclaimed cookbook, Music, Menus and Magnolias.
The CSOL® actively supports music education and funding for the arts, annually awarding: the $2,500 David and Karen Stahl Scholarship and $2,000 Student Scholarships to high school seniors who plan to major in music; $250 Matching Grant Awards to members of the Youth Orchestra of the Low Country; Summer Study Awards to talented Lowcountry music students; and Professional Scholarships available to members of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra for advanced study.
Our Arts Advocacy Committee works with state arts advocates to enhance the study of arts in our local schools, and with government officials to promote the support of fine arts throughout the state. During the concert season, League members also serve as ushers and provide refreshments for the musicians.
We hope you will want to learn more about the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League, Inc. and how you can become involved. Help us keep the music playing!

Madrid continues Spanish infusion with Illarramendi signing
It's a rare day when you can say Real Madrid are taking some inspiration from Barcelona, very rare indeed -- and Madridistas won't thank me for saying that. With Asier Illarramendi, however, comes Madrid's fourth summer signing and their third from the Spanish U21s, along with a sense that Los Blancos are attempting to copy the successful Spanish-led midfield that has seen the Catalans on top in La Liga in recent seasons.
- Real Madrid announce Illarramendi signing
- Train: Quiet summer suggests long-term approach
Over at the Camp Nou, Barca have thrived with the midfield trio of Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, and that success has been transferred to the national side, too. They've grown old together, spent years finding out their strengths and weaknesses and forming a natural partnership that has helped lead Barcelona, and Spain, to trophy after trophy.
Now Madrid are seemingly looking to follow suit. Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi may be the present for Spain, but Los Blancos are very much planning ahead, and not too far ahead, either. In Illarramendi, Isco and Daniel Carvajal, Los Blancos and Florentino Perez have swept aside their reputation of signing Galacticos this season and have instead opted for Spain's best young players to take them forward.
Madrid has still splashed the cash. Signing top youth isn't cheap these days. Confirmation of Illarramendi's move to the Bernabeu came through on Friday, for a fee reported to be £34 million, while Isco arrived from Malaga for a reported £23 million and Carvajal returned from a spell in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen for £6 million. Add Casemiro, now a permanent fixture from Sao Paolo, into the mix and Perez has still let almost £70 million out of his wallet. Cash that could have gone towards a certain Mr. Bale.
It's wrong to say these players are for the future, but Madrid is planning long-term. Isco and Carvajal are both 21 and Illarramendi is 23. All three featured in Spain's successful European championship campaign in Israel this summer and all three are expected to be crucial cogs in Spain's senior side sooner rather than later.
Only Carvajal may have come through the club's youth ranks, as opposed to the aforementioned Barca trio who all progressed through La Masia, but all three of Madrid's Spanish signings have plenty of time on their side to develop, improve and grow old together at the Bernabeu.
They already arrive with good reputations and the qualities to cement a place straight in Carlo Ancelotti's starting XI. One of Madrid's problem areas last season was at full back and Carvajal, after receiving plenty of plaudits in the Bundesliga, can slot in nicely at right back. Isco, too, has shone with Malaga and helped them to the latter stages of the Champions League last season. A battle with Manchester City for his signature should mean Madrid are keen to give him plenty of first-team football next season.
What for Illarramendi? At £34 million from Real Sociedad the Basque-born player is the most expensive Spanish player Madrid has ever signed, exceeding the £30 million shelled out for Xabi Alonso, and for that kind of money you would expect him to be handed plenty of minutes next season.
Many have compared him to Alonso and it's easy to see why. As with Alonso, Illarramendi came through the youth ranks at Real Sociedad and helped the Basque club to an impressive Champions League finish. He has a superb midfield engine and his passing is exceptional, whether it be from deep or in attacking situations. He has an old head on a relatively young body and should be able to handle the pressures in the all-white shirt. Throw in good tackling, positioning and free-kick taking and Illarra could well be one of world football's best midfielders in time (no pressure there, then).
It'll be interesting to see if Ancelotti throws him straight into the first team or gradually edges the tried-and-trusted Alonso out, eventually with a view to moving him elsewhere when his contract is up. Illarramendi is seen as the perfect replacement for Alonso but it remains to be seen whether they can complement each other in the starting line-up. Only time will tell.
Despite a disappointment among Madrid fans that Gareth Bale is yet to swap North London for the Spanish capital, Madrid have done some good business this summer for my money. Cash has been splashed, but for me it's been splashed wisely, on young Spanish players who can grow old together at the Bernabeu. Illarramendi and Isco formed a brilliant partnership for Spain's U21s this summer and that bodes extremely well for Madrid.
Of course, in a perfect world Madridistas would love to see their club produce its own talent from its cantera, such as Carvajal and Alvaro Morata. It's cheaper, and in a romantic way it's more satisfactory to see "one of your own" representing the team you support out on the pitch. It's what fills Barca fans with pride thanks to the success of their youth set-up, and it's what Madrid strives to do. Maybe that will be handed more importance with the arrival of Ancelotti and the new role for Zinedine Zidane.
It's also somewhat fitting that the Frenchman is helping Madrid sign these young Spanish stars. It was when he graced the Bernabeu pitch that Madrid pledged to sign Galacticos but also produce top young players. The "Zidanes y Pavones" era. The "Pavones" part of that may have failed somewhat, and only one of the three Spanish signings this summer may have been made in Madrid, but Madrid's focus on building a team around young Spanish players is healthy and bodes very well for the future.
