SCI Vegas 2012
I have a question for the other hunters out there who have attended the SCI Convention in the past....
My wife and I will be in Vegas on sepaerate business that happens to coincide with the SCI Convention/show. We would like to take in a day at the show and look around. My question is will a full day be enough time to cover the whole show or is that unrealistic? We are not in the market to book a hunt, we really just want to see the various displays by the outfitters & vendors and take in the experience...
Thanks for any input from those that have attended a previous show...

You can skim the convention in one day but I recommend two days to be able to take it all in. If you're already going to be in LV b y all means check it out. Just seeing the taxidermy art is worth it.
Have a great time.

I agree two days at the very least, you can see "most" of the floor if you walk fast and don't stop to look at anything, but that's not going to happen to much eye candy for us hunters, mounts, guns, videos, auctions etc.

You will walk in and say, 'What the-, wholly cow!" One day is just enough to determine that you need the entire show days just to get a handle on what's there. If you've never been- good luck on one day (but it would be fun!!!) If you want only one day, go day 1 of the show. Usually lots less people. Easier to get around quickly. Check prices to compare 1 day as oppossed to several if you have time. Also, if you ever get to Dallas during the Dallas Safari Club show do that one. About half the size but still top quality.

Yeah I think Cliffy has it best described, you will amazed at the vastness of the SCI Convention. One day is really not realistic if you plan to spend anytime whatsoever taking it in. Furthermore, it would be cost ineffective to go for only one day. If I recall correctly there are no one day passes or such. You will have to be a member of SCI to attend and that yearly membership is a bit pricy plus convention tickets.
I would encourage you to go if you can. I spent 2 days at the show last year and really would have liked to have spent one more. There were a number of seminars plus the live auctions that I wasn't able to do with only being there for two days. I did get to Craig Boddington's seminar on lion hunting which was quite interesting. I'll most likely never hunt for lions but it was still interesting and there were several others that I'm sure were good to.Bonse Aba

We are SCI members, and you can get single day passes for around $100/pp...
I actually work for a South African outfitter as a rep here in the U.S. We are not attending the show as outfitters, so we are doing some friendly research on the competition....
Anyway, thanks for the replies. Your input is greatly appreciated.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Smoke Hole Fire near Seneca Rocks burned through 1,611 acres of oak-hickory forest before an army of 190 firefighters brought it under control earlier this week, making it the largest forest fire to occur on the Monongahela National Forest in more than 60 years.
But compared with other West Virginia wildfires that have taken place since the state Division of Forestry began keeping detailed records in 1939, the Pendleton County fire was by no means the hottest spark in the state's woodland tinderbox. A number of blazes have surpassed the Smoke Hole Fire in terms of size and severity over the years, with most of them occurring on privately owned land in the state's fire-prone southern mountains.
On Thursday, the Smoke Hole Fire was considered 80 percent contained, with a small incident team left at the site to guard against possible flare-ups. Firefighters were also beginning to re-seed fire lines with hardwoods, according to Robert Beanblossom, a public information officer for the inter-agency firefighting team that subdued the blaze.
The Smoke Hole Fire, which broke out on Nov. 10, involved the efforts of U.S. Forest Service firefighters from 18 states, personnel from the state Division of Forestry, and firemen from volunteer fire departments in Franklin, Seneca Rocks, Upper Tract, Moorefield and Petersburg. Six fire engines, two bulldozers and a helicopter equipped with a water-dropping bucket were used in the fire suppression effort.
While the Smoke Hole Fire was large and significant, it pales in comparison with other fires that have blazed through the state's forests over the years.
In the fall of 1987, a 19,560-acre wildfire swept through Raleigh County, while another forest fire sent 15,192 acres of Boone County woodlands up in smoke, according to West Virginia Division of Forestry records. In 1987, which proved to be the state's second-worst year on record for forest fires, 416,687 acres -- or more than 650 square miles -- were damaged statewide during the fall fire season alone.
During November of 1987, a wildfire charred more than 6,000 acres in northern Kanawha County near the Clay County line, while smaller blazes worked their way through tinder-dry woods in Kanawha State Forest, and in the Campbells Creek, Brounland and Sissonville areas. KRT buses were used to shuttle volunteer firefighters from fire to fire, according to Gazette accounts of the fires.
Smoke in Charleston was so thick in early November of 1987 that particulate matter in the air was deemed to be 12 times the acceptable level for public health, according to the state Air Pollution Control Commission. The heavy smoke produced numerous respiratory complaints and prompted the regional affiliate of the American Lung Association to urge Charleston area joggers and seniors to stay off the streets until the air cleared.
Gov. Arch Moore ordered state forests, parks and wildlife management areas in 13 southern counties closed to the public for safety and fire prevention purposes.
But the state's worst forest fire to occur since the West Virginia Division of Forestry began keeping wildfire statistics took place in 1952, when 638,000 acres, or about 997 square miles, were charred. Most of the damage happened during a three-week stretch from mid-October to early November.
According to a 2009 Goldenseal magazine article by Beanblossom, West Virginia experienced its third-driest year on record in 1952. By the official start of the fall fire season on Oct. 15, new fires were breaking out daily. On Oct. 18 -- the first day of squirrel season -- 52 new fires were reported, and by Oct. 23, more than 200 fires were blazing across the state.
Personnel from the state Conservation Commission, the Division of Highways and the West Virginia National Guard were mobilized to help Division of Forestry firefighters battle the 1952 wildfires. Coal companies and sawmills released workers to join in the fight. By Oct. 26, more than 5,000 men were fighting the fires.
Smoke from the fires was thick enough to cancel commercial air flights in Charleston and Huntington, and drifted eastward for hundreds of miles, reaching New York City and much of the Eastern Seaboard. The arrival of significant rainfall and snow brought an end to the fire season during the first week of November.

A report from Syracuse University shows Chicago ranks dead last when it comes to prosecuting people for federal gun law violations.
Federal prosecutors in Chicago are challenging the report, claiming most gun cases here are left in county or state courts where offenders can get higher sentences.
NRA officials say it is further proof that law enforcement agencies need to start enforcing the laws already on the books before trying to pass new ones.

Tragedy and success live in big moments and little details alike.
Kirby Hanley experienced that entire spectrum last summer. In the space of a few days, those moments added up in a rush. The Nederland senior point guard lost his father, Rory, to a 12-year battle with cancer. Rory was a big Duke fan, and he and his wife had given Kirby a trip to Duke's summer basketball camp for the previous Christmas.
Hanley, along with teammates Zach English and Jared Lorimier, attended that camp at Duke University. He got to meet legendary Blue Devil head coach Mike Krzyzewski, but two days into the camp, he and his family were called back home after his father's condition worsened.
"When we walked into the gym the first time, me and Zach and Jared couldn't even talk," Hanley said. "We were just looking around like, 'Oh, my gosh.' There's so much history in that gym, so much stuff that's happened. You don't even feel like you should be there, like you're not worthy. It was a great experience."
Coach K reached out to the family, inviting them back to a Duke game of their choice this season. They went up in the fall to see the Blue Devils play Florida Gulf Coast and the moment, in Cameron Indoor Stadium, was a better moment than he could have imagined.
"When I left, I didn't expect to ever go back," Hanley said. "When he emailed my mom, I couldn't believe it. To get a chance to go to a game was so much better than just being up there, it meant a lot to me that he reached out like that.
"It was an experience that every basketball person should have once in their life. The atmosphere of everyone yelling was crazy. The student section, it doesn't matter who they're playing, they're just going 100 percent. It's so loud. It was awesome. You don't realize it on TV, but that place is tiny. To have all those people packed in there yelling, it'd be awesome to play there in that environment."
Through the generosity of Beaumont attorney Walter Umphrey, the Hanleys got to fly to the Duke game on Umphrey's private jet. That was a big moment and full of little surprises all at the same time.
"I'm not used to flying that well," Hanley said. "You're used to going through security and all that. But, with this, you just walk into the little garage where the plane is, get on and take off. It's funny, my mom asked him what how early before we leave do we need to get there. He said, 'Oh, about 10 minutes.' We literally just got there, stepped on the plane and left. It was crazy."
Tragedy and loss on the scale that Hanley suffered make sports insignificant. And yet, basketball gave Hanley something to focus on, gave him a goal to drive towards. Nederland head coach Brian English set a pretty big order in front of Hanley, too.
Hanley would be moving from a bench role into the starting lineup this fall and needed to work on all sorts of little things over the summer to prepare for the move.
"He came off the bench for us last year," English said. "I wanted to move Zach to the two and I thought (Kirby) was ready to play the one. He's handled it pretty well. His ball handling has improved over the year and his assist to turnover ratio is pretty good."
Hanley wanted to make his senior year special, to make it count and worked hard to get there. He's driven, along with his teammates, to expect to win every time they suit up. Hanley brings a lot of that attitude to the team as the "vocal leader" on the court for the Bulldogs, according to English.
"It's definitely an expectation (to win every game)," Hanley said. "It doesn't matter if it's a summer league game, the whole team's demeanor changes if we lose. No one likes to lose, but it's different for us. A loss is just terrible. It's not normal. We've always been good and we've won since we've been little. Losing is not the norm for us, so when we lose we're going to do everything in our power so it doesn't happen again."
Those little details on the court don't escape Hanley, either. While he may not be the best athlete out there, he maximizes his abilities by working in harmony with his teammates. That's never more evident than on the defensive end.
Hanley can make the flashy play, like when he stripped the ball from Port Neches-Groves guard Ramil Glorioso and drove for a layup last week in the fourth quarter of another Mid-County Madness matchup. But, it's his understanding of how Nederland's help defense works that makes a play like that possible.
"They really understand how to play help defense," English said. "That game last Friday against PN-G may have been the best game we've played on defense since I've been here. I had an ex-coach tell me that it was one of the better defensive games he'd ever seen. It's not just one kid, but collectively they really understand it. It's something that's contagious."
Little moments still come and go for Hanley. He's embraced some and is caught off guard with others, when reminders of his father pop up unexpectedly. Hanley has embraced the little things and tries to remember his dad through little touches before every game, like pulling on a jersey bearing his dad's old number.
"I think about him every game," Hanley said. "Basketball is definitely the highlight (of my senior year). I spend time before every game listening to his favorite song. I want to get into the mindset that he's watching me and is going to be there. I've dedicated myself to play for him every game. It's my last year and I don't have anything to lose, so I'm going to leave it out there. Wearing his number (44) is also a part of that, too."
NOTES: The son of Shawn Hanley, Kirby has an older sister, Kaitlyn, who is a student at Texas A&M. … Duke beat Florida Gulf Coast 88-67 in the game the Hanley's attended. … Last season, Hanley was the first man off the bench for the Bulldogs. His slow ascension from the freshman team to JV through being a bench player and into the starting lineup should be an inspiration to all the players in Nederland's basketball program. "You saw where he's been," English said. "Some kids just go the path he did. Some kids start on varsity early, and for some kids, perseverance and patience pay off. Kirby's an example of that. Bottom line is he's a winner."
Five Questions with Kirby Hanley
1. Who is your favorite musician? Kenny Chesney
2. What is your dream job? Being a coach
3. What is your favorite movie? Coach Carter
4. What is your favorite college? Texas A&M
5. If you could play another position, what would it be? Post, so I could dunk

The job offer may be negotiable, depending on the position. Or the employer and the prospect may have negotiated the details of the offer prior to the formal, written offer.
Here are the steps that an employer takes in making a job offer.
Steps in Making a Job Offer
- The employees who were involved in interviewing prospective employees make their recommendations to the hiring manager who makes the final decision, in conjunction with Human Resources staff, about the candidate to hire.
- The salary and benefits package were decided upon earlier in the recruitment process, often as early as the determination of the need for a position. The hiring manager makes these decisions in conjunction with HR and in consideration of his or her budget for the position.
- With the help of HR, and depending on your company protocol, informal communication about compensation occurs between the hiring manager or HR and the selected candidate. (Occasionally, this discussion occurs in email.) You should always use a point person for the compensation discussion. If several people are involved, the possibility of misinformation, a misunderstanding, and potentially, a lost candidate, increases.
When salary range and benefits have been discussed and understood during the interview process, this step can progress smoothly. - As discussed in tips for a successful salary negotiation, you will have more leeway to negotiate and make counter offers with higher level positions. Beginning to mid-career positions have salary ranges and benefits packages that are standard for new employees. You may experience a potential employee who looks at your salary offer and counter offers with a request for a few thousand more dollars. Depending on how you value the candidate, and your time investment in reopening recruitment, you may agree, or not.
For example, right out of college, a candidate was offered a beginning marketing generalist position at a Washington, D.C. firm. The offer was for $50,000. Because of the cost of living in the area, she responded with a counter offer that requested $55,000, which she eventually received. (This was quite scary for her because she was also concerned that the employer would walk away from the negotiation.) - This informal approach culminates in the preparation of a job offer letter that confirms the terms the employer and the candidate have agreed to verbally and in email for his or her employment during negotiations.
Generally, the candidate signs and returns the letter upon receipt. Once, I had a candidate who decided to reopen negotiations at this point in the process. He made a counter offer to the already agreed upon terms in the offer letter. We learned something about our prospective employee's integrity and we never made a counter offer. - While I recommend this informal approach to compensation negotiation because it builds relationships, saves time and paperwork, and reduces stress for both parties, I know that many employers start the job offer with a standard job offer letter or contract.
- In this scenario, the prospective employee may accept the job offer or make a counter offer that usually asks for a higher salary, potentially expanded benefits, and additional perks that were not in the job offer letter. Senior candidates for higher level jobs are also likely to ask that the terms of severance, if the relationship fails to work out, are spelled out in the employment contract. The more senior the position, the more likely the candidate is to negotiate. The negotiation can last several weeks as a senior candidate – with reason - will generally ask an attorney to review the employment contract.
- When all goes well, the result of the job offer process is an employee who joins your company excited and looking forward to making contributions, getting to know coworkers, and forging a relationship that will last for years. HR, the hiring manager, and participating staff can celebrate the successful recruitment and hiring of a qualified person whose employment they are excited to welcome.

Why Did 'Pandora' Buy
A Traditional Radio Station?
By: Tyler Falk | SmartPlanet.Com
Pandora, the Internet radio service, has over 200 million registered users who listen to the station for 1.31 billion hours per month.
So why did the company just buy KXMZ-FM, a small terrestrial radio station in a city of less than 70,000 in South Dakota?
Turns out it's not a move back in time,
but a way for Pandora to operate like terrestrial radio.

Display at Sutter Memorial Hospital Showcases Site's Future
A large display showing the future of the Sutter Memorial Hospital site has been installed near the hospital's main elevators on the first floor. The display shows the proposed neighborhood of up to 125 homes, a small mixed-use building, plus the many engaging park areas. Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento partnered with StoneBridge Properties to conceptualize and entitle the redevelopment, referred to as Sutter Park. Sutter Park was designed with much community feedback and contributes to the livability and character of the surrounding neighborhood. For more details on the project, go to www.sutterparkneighborhood.com.
Famous Fred Uhl Ball Artwork in Sutter General Hospital to Remain
Sacramento art lovers, we have great news: The 50-foot copper enameled mural depicting the Sacramento River and neighboring landscape that was commissioned for the opening of Sutter General Hospital will continue to adorn the lobby walls as SGH is remodeled into the Ose Adams Medical Pavilion.
The mural, titled "The Great Sacramento Valley," was the last work of celebrated enamel artist Fred Uhl Ball of Sacramento, who died in September 1985 a few months after being assaulted in his studio. Ball had designed the artwork and, at the time of the attack, was creating the copper pieces that were shaped to fit together perfectly to depict the patchwork look of the farmland and river scenes. Ball's mother and an associate completed and installed the piece, and it was unveiled in December 1986, a few months before Sutter General Hospital officially opened.
And in an ironic twist: Ball's first public art show was with local artist Jerald Silva, who was commissioned to create artwork for the new Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center. Some of Silva's large "Steamy Windows" watercolors of Sacramento landmarks are already installed on the second floor of SGH, near the spanning structure.
The Sutter General lobby is currently being renovated and, when the Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center opens next year, it will become the lobby for the expanded Emergency Department. All other inpatient and outpatient registrations will occur in the Women's and Children's Center lobby when it opens.
The Future of Sutter Memorial Hospital
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Sutter Memorial Hospital, which was originally opened in 1937 as Sutter Maternity Hospital. When built, Sutter Maternity was situated on the "edge" of town with 20 acres and 52 "air conditioned" beds. It was an immediate success. Over the years, the hospital name changed and the scope of services and the number of buildings expanded. Today, we are expanding once again and in 2014 all the services currently housed inside Sutter Memorial Hospital will be transitioning to the new midtown campus.
In preparing for the transition, we have partnered with StoneBridge Properties, LLC, a subsidiary of Teichert Land Co., to advise on the best strategy for redeveloping the Sutter Memorial Hospital site in East Sacramento. StoneBridge specializes in planning and redeveloping former industrial properties into uses that benefit the larger community, and for this project we are focused on designing a quality development that reconnects the existing neighborhood and is sensitive to the needs of the community.
As part of its early due diligence, StoneBridge conducted a thorough history of the site and engaged in extensive neighborhood and community outreach. The outreach included focused conversations with neighbors and community groups, with more than 750 people involved to date.
StoneBridge, on behalf of Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, recently submitted an application to the City of Sacramento. The proposed project has been heavily shaped by community input and proposes reintroducing a mixed-residential and multi-generational community that reconnects the existing neighborhood. The land plan facilitates walking and cycling and provides for unique outdoor spaces and experiences. Over the next 12 to 18 months, the project will be further refined by feedback from the City, as well as continued neighborhood dialogue, and will undergo environmental analysis to better understand the project's impacts.
For more information, please contact Randy Sater with StoneBridge at (916) 484-3200 or Keri Thomas, regional director, Community and Government Relations, Sutter Health Sacramento Sierra Region at (916) 454-6697. For additional details on the neighborhood plan, go to sutterparkneighborhood.com.
Recent News Coverage Highlights Expansion Project
A story on Sutter Medical Center's midtown expansion project by writer Lance Armstrong in the East Sacramento News is the top Web story this week for the publication group, Valley Community Newspapers. It also includes some nice photos of the project. It can be viewed here: http://www.valcomnews.com/?p=6043.
Teichert Helps Pave Way for Sutter Expansion, Is Honored with Name on Motor Court
As a pioneering company that for 125 years has been dedicated to building the infrastructure of our community, Teichert Construction has paved much of the Sacramento region. So it's fitting that a stretch of pavement that leads to historic Sutter's Fort will now bear the Teichert name.
Recognizing the generous $1 million gift by Teichert Foundation in support of the Sutter Medical Center Midtown Expansion Project, Sutter Medical Center Foundation on Oct. 6 unveiled the new Teichert Motor Court sign at the Sutter Capitol Pavilion, 2725 Capitol Ave.
Teichert Motor Court – a one-block-long drive through street connecting Capitol Avenue and L Street and located between 27th and 28th streets – is the main entrance to Sutter Capitol Pavilion. Patients enter Teichert Motor Court from Capitol Avenue and exit onto L Street directly across from historic Sutter's Fort.
"The generosity of the Teichert Foundation will be felt by generations to come," said Carrie Owen Plietz, Chief Executive Officer for Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento. "Not only is this a great addition for our patients, it is a positive step for the community as it will help traffic flow more smoothly. This donation allows us to continue to provide easy access and quality service to our patients and continue to be a good community partner."

UK – Wolverine & the X-Men Signing
October 15, 2012 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, England, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Jason Aaron signs at Gosh Comics on November 15, 2012 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.
Press Release:
Jason Aaron is a frequent and easy recommendation here at Gosh!: there's his Native American crime series Scalped from Vertigo to point at, plus all the stuff he's done on Ghost Rider, Punisher Max, and Wolverine. Most recently he's been dishing out what our own Nathaniel calls "proper comics" in Wolverine & The X-Men, another oft-recommended title. If you're a CV-enthusiast you can count his Eisner and Harvey nominations among his credentials too.
In November, he's coming to England and you've got not one but two opportunities to meet him. If you're the kind of person who thinks it's alright to go out in nowt but a T-shirt in February, you can catch him in Leeds as part of increasingly brilliant Thought Bubble festival (along with dozens of other top names like Kate Beaton and that). But if you're staying down south with us, make sure you're here on the 15th of November at 5pm to get your stuff signed by an American in a beard.

About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Features
- Game Editions
Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure combines combat, action, adventure and stealth as the main character, Trane, sets out to prove that he's the best graffiti artist around. It's really not that easy, however, as the game features something called, "Get In, Get Up, and Get Out". Gamers will need to use stealth in order to "get in" to restricted areas, dexterity and agility in order to scale tall objects to "get up", and the ability to think on your feet as you run from the powers that be in order to "get out". The city of New Radius is a living character in Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure; it sets the tone and offers the thematic boundaries that oppress Trane from the opening cinematic to the dramatic conclusion.
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1
- Memory Card
- Rappers like Talib Kweli, MC Serch, and P. Diddy provide voices, as does BATMAN legend Adam West.

Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is speaking out against the Department of Homeless Services and its plan to open a large-scale shelter on the Upper West Side.
Stringer said the city opened the shelter too quickly with virtually no community consultation.
He is calling on the DHS to suspend its efforts to move about 400 people into two buildings on West 95th Street.
"You cannot simply put 400 people in two buildings on a narrow street and just think this is going to solve the homeless crisis that plagues our city," Stringer said.
"We need to have shelters throughout the city, including on the Upper West Side, where we can provide strong programs that work with people who live there to get back on their feet and work with the community to make sure that we don't impact negatively the neighborhood around the facilities," DHS Commissioner Seth Diamond countered.
Stringer's office said the buildings being used as shelters operated as illegal hotels as recently as last year and were fined $600,000 by the city.

I am sure someone could come up with a way to make boring products linkworthy but for me I would actively go and get some links and get it over and done with rather than waiting for people to link to me. Then again there is more than one way to get backlinks, so each to his own. The main point being that you need them to rank, content on its own 99% of the time will not be enough.
EFV's point is fine if you have an info site as he does but does not do you much good if you have a commecial site on indsutrial washers as the appeal is just not there. So I think it depends on what you write about whether it is link worthy or not.

Gym Class Heroes Perform "The Fighter" With PS22 Chorus
The guys of Gym Class Heroes performed at Wagner College in Staten Island this Monday along with some special guests: the chorus of PS22.
It is one of many high profile appearances for the 5th graders from Staten Island. They have previously been invited to perform on the 2011 Oscars, were guests on Oprah's show, and have earned accolades from most of the stars whose hits they've covered including Adele, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Gotye, and Lady Gaga. The kids covered the Gym Class Heroes track back in November, after which they earned their accolades from singer Travie McCoy.
Shout out and tons of love to The PS22 Chorus For their cover of THE FIGHTER, this video brought me to tears. bit.ly/rtZCfq GOOD JOB!
— Travie McCoy (@TravieMcCoy) December 20, 2011
Since they obviously knew the song already and were nearby, it was easy to incorporate the kids into this special live performance of the song. An official video for "The Fighter" will be released in May. The song also features, and was co-written by, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.
The kids of PS22 can also be seen in a new documentary, Once In A Lullaby, that debuts at the Tribecca Film Festival this year.

Allbritton's TV Revs Dip 10%, Blames Political Ads
Stripping out political revenues, local and national advertising dollars fell nearly 10% at Allbritton Communications in the last three months of
2012. But the company said in a government filing that was principally the result of political advertisers eating up the space.
The figures seem to bear that out, as Allbritton
collected about $21 million in ad dollars in the quarter, pushing its total ad dollars up 39% versus the last quarter of 2011.
Allbritton owns ABC stations in six markets, including
Washington, where political dollars were ripe with heated campaigns in Virginia.
Net income in the quarter jumped to $22 million from $6.5 million in the same period in 2011.
In the quarter, subscriber fees increased 48% to $8.6 million. The company said it renewed retrans consent deals, which propelled that figure. Several deals have been renewed at higher
rates that started coming in last month.
Programming expenses increased as Allbritton had to fill an additional daytime hour as ABC returned the time to affiliates.

Trying to Put Lipstick on Ulta? (Reality Check $)
This company can't turn back the hands of time.
Greenberg: Should Probe at 200%-Lender, World Acceptance, Be a Surprise?
The body slam of World Acceptance's shares, after it disclosed it's being investigated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, shows how some stocks are elevated from here to kingdom come on air and (at the first sign of trouble) weak-kneed investors. World, which I originally red flagged in 2012, has been an expert at keeping itself inflated on buybacks. That points to an inherent flaw in buybacks: The prospect that shares will fall below the buyback price. That's especially true at companies like World, which are walking a thin line in a world of controversy and use buybacks to keep their shares from falling.
Greenberg: What to Expect from Herbalife Probe
A hard reset of the business models of multi-level marketers is possible. So much for those who laughingly insisted the FTC would never launch an investigation into Herbalife. An investigation is underway. It won't be over anytime soon and the outcome is uncertain. But in the meantime, what to expect? Beyond the broad and deep request for documents, which is likely to be part of a civil investigation by the FTC, the bigger issue is what the ramifications are for Herbalife and the entire industry, regardless of whether the investigation from Herbalife's perspective is a win, lose or draw. In two years of researching the industry, I've been struck by how multi-level marketers, as a whole, have slipped through regulatory cracks....
What to Expect from Herbalife Probe (Reality Check $)
A hard reset of the business models of multi-level marketers is possible.
Greenberg: Twitter IS Too Arcane
Let's start with the obvious disclosure: I love Twitter. As I've written numerous times, it has become my primary news feed and I use it for disclosure and conversation. But as the company appears to struggle with user engagement, especially with its stock in the nosebleed section of valuation, several things are clear. I believe the company needs to do a better job marketing to users who don't realize they never need to tweet. But there's something else for those who do want to tweet: Outside of merely posting a simple tweet, Twitter is not user-friendly. I started thinking about this after watching CNBC's Carl Quintanilla's interview Tuesday with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. Stone, who doesn't work at Twitter any longer, said he believes there is 'plenty of room' for improvement. (Easy for him to say!)
Greenberg: What You May Have Missed
What you may have missed, including takes on Nu Skin, Clean Harbors and pharmaceutical mega mergers. It was a light week as I am working on new stories, but here is a roundup from last week's Reality Check. Plus, as an added bonus, there is a new red flag. Keep an Eye on Nu Skin - The next date that counts will be March 18, which is the deadline for the company to file its delayed 10-K. As I wrote on here last week, the company disclosed that its audit committee had hired "outside counsel" to help with an internal review of Nu Skin's China operations. But why would the audit committee be involved in a review of the company's China operation -- whose operations are being probed by the Chinese government? And why would the audit committee hire outside counsel?

BEIJING (AP) — China's consumer inflation held steady in January, easing pressure on communist leaders to control living costs as they launch ambitious economic reforms.
Data on Friday showed consumer prices rose 2.5 percent over a year earlier. The rise in politically sensitive food costs decelerated to 3.7 percent, down from December's 4.1 percent.
Lower inflation should ease pressure on communist leaders and allow them to focus on ambitious promises of sweeping reforms aimed at making China's economy more productive and keeping incomes rising.
Low inflation also leaves room for Beijing to stimulate the economy if growth drops too low. Last year's economic expansion tied 2012 for the slowest since 1999 at 7.7 percent and growth looks set to decline further this year.

I have long suspected that much of any genetic influence on a gender gap in an academic/occupational field might be as much or more about innate interest in a type of activity as it is about innate ability. A new psychological theory (supported by some research, so it is more than idle speculation) supports that hunch.
The press release, Technical aptitude: Do women score lower because they just aren't interested? contains these nuggets:
Smart people, researchers have found, are able to learn the requirements of any job if they are motivated to. And research shows that men and women do not differ, on average, in general intelligence.
Frank Schmidt, author of the paper outlining the theory . . .
posits that this difference stems from sex differences in interest in technical pursuits, which leads people to acquire technical experience, which in turn increases technical aptitude scores.
Excellence follows interests by way of learning experiences. Of course, culture can play a role in how a field is presented and taught,making it more interesting to one gender or another. Social factors can also determine how accessible and attractive types of learning experiences are to one sex or the other. Engineering, nursing, etc. If females are interested, they will gain experience and acquire aptitude. If males are interested, ditto. Those uninterested will not, or at least not as much.
Of course, allow me to add, "it seems" & "in general." Greater confidence in the proposed relationship between variables awaits further research.
