Longtime Lyric Opera marketing chief to step down at year's end

Susan Mathieson Mayer, a legendary figure in North American arts marketing and a fixture at Lyric Opera of Chicago for 25 years, will be leaving Lyric at year's end to pursue independent consulting, the company announced Wednesday.
The director of Lyric's marketing and communications department since 1988, she will work with her successor at the Civic Opera House, expected to be named within several weeks, through the calendar year. Afterward, she will continue to work with Lyric as a consultant on marketing and media.
"It is a big, tough job that has been both a great honor to hold and a great responsibility," Mathieson Mayer said in an interview Tuesday. "When I came to Chicago, it never occurred to me that this position and Lyric would become my life and my family for 25 years.
"It did, though, and I loved every minute of it. Now I want more flexibility so I can spend more time with my other family — my husband, Fritz [Friedrich Mayer, from Austria, an international banker], who's now retired."
Mathieson Mayer joined Lyric after a 1988 international search, but working in Vancouver, B.C., she had already met the great guru of not-for-profit subscription sales and one of the handful of people who put Lyric Opera on the international map from its founding, the late Danny Newman.
Working with Newman and his "Subscribe Now!" philosophy at Lyric, Mathieson Mayer presided over 16 consecutive sold-out opera seasons in Chicago from 1989-90 through 2004-05, a unique accomplishment in the performing arts.
Even today, following economic downturns, Lyric has 25,000 season ticket holders, and is an industry global leader in subscription sales and audience development. In fact, Lyric recently announced a 15 percent increase in attendance for the 2012-13 season over the previous year.
"I still believe in subscriptions," Mathieson Mayer said. "They are our bedrock — at 25,000 sold, they are our bedrock-plus. They make possible the security and support for everything that we do.
"But people forget: They still have to be sold and they have to be sold each year. To have a renewal rate of 75 to 80 percent in the current environment is enviable and an endorsement of Lyric and what it does. But it's also a lot of very hard and constant work."
Newman, who died in 2007 at 88, often referred to Mathieson Mayer as "my proudest achievement." She carried over his innovative ideas and bulldog methods in turn.
"Susan was a wonderful mentor," said J. Philip Koester, vice president for marketing and sales at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who worked two stints totaling more than eight years for Mathieson Mayer at Lyric.
"She has a brilliant mind for marketing and communications. She has such a keen understanding of the art and science of arts marketing, of how to write copy and build a campaign. She is hands down the greatest arts marketer of the last quarter century, anywhere."
Indeed, in 2000, Mathieson Mayer was the only arts professional named by Advertising Age named as one of the country's Top 100 Marketers.
From sharply designed brochures to Lyric's trademark multi-tiered information-stuffed press releases to celebrity-focused posters for the annual Lyric WFMT Radio Operathon to a first-ever 2011 billboard campaign "starring" Lyric creative consultant and internationally renowned soprano Renee Fleming, Mathieson Mayer had her hand in anything that came out of the building with Lyric's name on it. More recently this extended to working with Spanish-language media and teaming with The Second City to bring in new audiences for comedy and opera evenings.
Among high points of her career, Mathieson Mayer recalled working to sell the new and highly contemporary Peter Sellars' new and highly contemporary "Tannhauser" -- (characters were recast as corrupt televangelists and one act took place in the then-new United Airlines terminal at O'Hare) in 1988 as a part of her first full season at Lyric. "It was such a new way of thinking about an opera and staging, and such an encounter with a pure intelligence." She also cited Lyric's first-ever full Wagner "Ring" cycle, launched in 1993 and performed in three full cycles in 1996. "So intense and so beautiful and so much fun."
Referring to Lyric's current general director and board president and CEO, "I've loved working with Anthony Freud and Ken Pigott," Mathieson Mayer said. "I've loved the new projects, and the energy to reach and hold new audiences. I'll keep helping out on those things as an independent. And now I'll also have more time for such perks as watching [music director] Andrew Davis lead a rehearsal or attending a performance without mentally counting the house."
"Susan magnificently filled and has filled the big shoes left to her by her mentor Danny Newman," Freud said. "Now she will leave similarly big shoes for her successor."
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Mathieson Mayer, who is in her late 50s, studied advertising and journalism. She started her career writing ad copy at a radio station and working at an ad agency before starting her own arts marketing firm and heading marketing for the arts festival of the 1986 Vancouver World's Fair, which sold out 102 of 106 events. While at the Vancouver Symphony in the 1980s, where Newman had been a consultant, she built the world's largest orchestra subscription base at the time with 42,000 season ticket holders.
After she steps down, she and her husband will remain based in west suburban Willow Springs.
Andrew Patner is critic at large for WFMT-FM (98.7).

E: Morning sun, this little one and her books.
Joining with with Jodi at Practicing Simplicity. Last week I loved this shot and these too. There's something far trickier about capturing older children when they are so much more aware of the camera.
Keeping up so far! Feels good. I've been taking so many pictures lately and I love having my trusty old point and shoot in hand again (one day DSLR, one day). x

This is a big ol' slice of Coca-Cola Cake at the Main Street Cafe in Madison, Alabama, near Huntsville.
It's really just a very rich chocolate sheet cake made with all the usual ingredients plus nuts and Coca-Cola, but let me tell you, I could not finish it. There was sort of a German Chocolate Cake taste to it, and it was "slap your Mama" moist and mouth-melty.
The Main Street Cafe building used to house city public safety offices and two jail cells (now fixed up as tiny private dining rooms) and the whole menu is full of unique dishes like this, so save room for dessert.
Disclosure: The Huntsville-Madison County CVB hosted my lunch while I was in town to run a communications workshop for them. We also tried the cafe's Hummingbird Cake and Strawberry Crushed Pretzels, and were so stuffed we couldn't finish any of it.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 638 - 02 October, 2007
Written Answers. - Pupil-Teacher Ratio.
Deputy Martin Ferris Deputy Martin Ferris
Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Education and Science the recent measures that have been taken to reduce class sizes here. [21478/07]
Deputy Mary Hanafin Deputy Mary Hanafin
Deputy Mary Hanafin: As the Deputy will be aware, major improvements have been made in staffing at primary level in recent years. There are now 5,000 more primary teachers than there were in 2002. By the 2006/07 school year, we had reduced the average class size in our primary schools to [1125] 24, while the pupil teacher ratio was 16.4:1, including resource teachers etc. In that year, schools were staffed on the basis of a general rule of at least one classroom teacher for every 28 children. Given that the national average was 24, many schools benefited from much more favourable staffing ratios than this.
Extra teachers were provided by the Government for the 2007/08 school year to improve primary school staffing so that schools would generally get at least one classroom teacher for every 27 children.
A further initiative in recent years that has been of direct benefit to primary schools has been the change in the criteria for developing schools. For the current school year the threshold for getting a developing school post was reduced specifically to help schools that are seeing large increases in enrolments each year. Over 350 such posts have been sanctioned in the 2007/08 school year compared to 280 in 2006/07.
The improvements we have made in school staffing in recent years are absolutely unparalleled. The Government is committed to providing more teachers to our primary schools over the next five years. We will also continue our focus on measures to improve the quality of education in our primary schools to ensure that increased resources lead to better outcomes for our children.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The measurement of ionizing radiation is sometimes expressed as being a rate of counts per unit time registered by a radiation monitoring instrument, of which counts per minute and counts per second are commonly used.
This measurement is only of the rate of events registered by the measuring instrument, not the rate of events at the point of original emission. For radioactive decay measurements it must not be confused with disintegrations per unit time (dpm), which represents the rate of atomic disintegration events at the source of the radiation.
Count rates are normally associated with the measurements of particles, such as alpha particles and beta particles. For gamma ray and X-ray dose measurements a unit such as the sievert is normally used.
Counts can be expressed as a total amount integrated over any time period, but cps and cpm are generally accepted practical count rate measurements. They are not an SI unit, but are a de facto radiological unit of measure. Note that radiation intensity is the count rate which takes into account the energy levels of the radiation being measured.
Counts per minute (cpm) is a measure of the detection rate of ionization events per minute. Counts are only manifested in the reading of the measuring instrument, and are not an absolute measure of the strength of the source of radiation. Whilst an instrument can display at a rate of cpm, it does not have to detect counts for one minute, as it can infer the total per minute.
Counts per second (cps) is used for measurements when higher count rates are being encountered, or if hand held radiation survey instruments are being used which can be subject to rapid changes of count rate when the instrument is moved over a source of radiation in a survey area.
In Radiation Protection Instrumentation practice, an instrument which reads a rate of detected events is normally known as a ratemeter, whereas an instrument which totalises the events detected over a time period is known as a scaler. This colloquial use stems from the early days of electronic counting, when a scaling circuit was required to reduce count rate to that which mechanical counters could register. [1]
Count rate does not universally equate to dose rate, and there is no simple universal conversion factor. Any conversions are instrument-specific.
Counts is the number of events detected, but dose rate relates to the amount of ionising energy deposited in the sensor of the radiation detector. The conversion calculation is dependent on the radiation energy levels, the type of radiation being detected and the radiometric characteristic of the detector.
The ion chamber instrument can easily measure dose but cannot measure counts, as it operates as a continuous current instrument. However the Geiger counter can measure counts but not the energy of the radiation, so a technique known as energy compensation of the detector tube is used to produce a dose reading. This modifies the tube characteristic so each count resulting from a particular radiation type is equivalent to a specific quantity of deposited dose. Proportional counters and scintillation counters can measure the energy level of each count, so dose can be automatically calculated by the instrument.
Dose rate is a complex subject and more can be found at absorbed dose and equivalent dose.
Disintegrations per minute (dpm) and disintegrations per second are measures of the intensity of the source of radioactivity. The SI unit of radioactivity, the becquerel, is equivalent to one disintegration per second. It is included in this article to show that it should not be confused with cpm. Becquerels is the strength of the source of radiation, but cpm is the number of counts received by an instrument from that source.
The efficiency of the radiation detector (e.g. scintillation counter) and its relative position to the source of radiation must be accounted for when relating cpm to dpm. Dpm is the number of atoms that have decayed, not the number of atoms that have been measured as decayed.

James Bond keeps his Aston Martin DBS
by Alex Nunez (RSS feed) on Dec 11th, 2007 at 8:56AM
Click image for DBS photo gallery Ever since Ford sold Aston Martin earlier this year, there was speculation as to whether the marque would provide James Bond's company car again when the 22nd installment of the movie series hits theaters next November. Speculation over. Aston Martin announced today that its flagship DBS would return to play the hero car alongside Daniel Craig as 007 in the still-untitled film (Bond 22 is the working title). Since Ford still has one flick left on the three-picture deal it signed with the producers, we expect to see cars from the Oval populating the screen... Read More

While 2009 was a tough year, I must say that it was nice to see a number of our portfolio companies have blow out 4th quarters for bookings and growth. Despite that, I am still taking a cautiously optimistic approach to 2010. There are still conflicting reports on the growth of the economy and it […]
Startups and financial models for SAAS companies

in Entrepreneurship, On Demand
The other day I met with an entrepreneur I was advising as he prepared to raise his next round of funding. In the meeting, he wanted me to narrow in and focus on his financial model. Financial models for startups are important from a big picture perspective, but I never like to get mired in […]

You Know You're A Diabetic Nurse When....
- 11
Here's a slightly twisted look at some of of the little absurdities (not to mention indignities) of being a nurse with a chronic health issue. Caution: Not for the squeamish or those who lack a sense of humor..........You sit through your diabetes ed class and catch yourself instructing your fellow patients how to care for themselves, what to eat, when to call their physician, etc. etc., but when it comes time for you to plan a meal program at home or start on a new medication, you suddenly go stupid and everything you've learned about the disease over the past fifteen years is AWOL.
.........You plot your entire day around when and where you can eat, just in case your sugar crashes and burns.....even if it hasn't been under 150 since the day you were diagnosed.
.........You find yourself drooooooooling over a stale piece of banana bread left over from last Friday's potluck. You may even reach for it in your desperation for something sweet. And if you're a new diabetic like me who's still scared enough of the disease to muster some self-discipline, you consult with your glucometer.....which seems to know exactly what you are thinking and produces a number that would make an endocrinologist cringe.
.........You've reached an age when you'd finally earned the privilege of NOT carrying a handbag full of Kleenex, kids' stuff, and feminine products, and then you wind up trading in your cute little handbag for a purse that's big enough to hold all your medical supplies: your meter, your glucose tablets, your Glycemic Index book, a couple of extra lancets, a three-months' supply of Glucophage, and a dilapidated pack of saltines you scored from Denny's ages ago.
.........Your co-workers can guess your approximate FSBS by the way you handle the following situations:
1) Being waist-deep in a project when the boss "suggests" that you switch priorities STAT;
2) An irritating family member who buttonholes you and peppers you with petty complaints just as you're sitting down to lunch;
3) Stepping in poo.
.........Speaking of which: you know you're a diabetic nurse when you notice changes in your body and find yourself wondering about things..........like whether your particular medication is supposed to turn stools green ("Holy God, it looks like freaking ALGAE!!"). But you're too embarrassed to ask, and besides, you're supposed to KNOW all this stuff. Remember?Last edit by VivaLasViejas on Apr 2, '11

......you wear the biggest pads you can purchase to contain the leaks caused by hyperglycemia, and the 'can't drink enough/can't pee enough' syndrome that comes up after eating even just one jelly-filled doughnut.0Apr 1, '11 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideThank goodness I haven't had the former problem, but I'm far more familiar than I'd like to be with the latter!6Apr 2, '11 by JulieCVICURNThanks for this. I'm a diabetic nurse and I'm lucky in that even though my diet is horrendous (I could live on chocolate) my numbers are under pretty good control. I know my time to be bad is quickly running short, but it's so hard to give up the sweets!
I would add that you know you're a diabetic nurse when you become understanding of the reasons patients give for non-compliance, because you know first hand how hard it is to be good.6Apr 2, '11 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideQuote from JulieCVICURNIsn't THAT the truth! I have a married couple at my ALF (both A & O, both on insulin) who have major control issues. They like to do their own FSBS, then ask the med tech to give them SSI on the basis of [I]their[/I readings instead of ours, even though they never calibrate their home machine and have been known to fib about the numbers. They also complain incessantly because I won't let them get away with bullying the staff into chasing their blood sugars between meals (which usually happens after they've consumed all the starches and sweets they can lay their hands on).I would add that you know you're a diabetic nurse when you become understanding of the reasons patients give for non-compliance, because you know first hand how hard it is to be good.
Now that I'm in something of a similar predicament, I get where Bob and Jenny* (names changed to protect their privacy) are coming from. Diabetes, by its nature, forces us to give up a HUGE amount of control over our lives as it is; suddenly we have to think about everything we do, from what we eat and drink to what kind of shoes to buy. I never knew how freaking complicated this disease makes everyday living, and I'm not even that bad off......Bob and Jenny don't even have as many choices as I do, seeing as how they are in assisted living rather than their own luxurious home (I've seen the pictures) and have so many more physical limitations because of their DM. So, I don't let Jenny's lady-of-the-manor attitude get under my skin as much these days, and I find myself reminding the staff that she does it mainly because she's lost control over just about everything else. Who wouldn't be PO'd about that?1Apr 4, '11 by HolisticHealthRNHi Viva,
You have a great sense of humor. Having said that, it is a strange twist of irony that we have educated our patients on subjects of nutrition, choices, blood sugar testing and compliance and then we find ourselves in the same boat. Just wondering if you have ever heard of Ayurvedic Medicine? It might be something for you to investigate.
Despite my holistic training and my own energy work, as well as homeopathy, I needed something more for healing myself (see last post). I do not think that total will power always works. I think that the idea of "having to make a change" and "giving up" food that you like/love to eat feels very overpowering, in addition to the diagnosis. Don't you? In addition, there might be an element, still, of disbelief, and a grieving process that one has to go through...as there is this idea, "What has happened to me...to my once healthy body?" So treating yourself gently and lovingly is also very helpful and important.
Ayurvedic medicine is wonderful. The consultation, by the doctor or counselor, trained in Oriental medical methods, utilizes pulse taking, and spends over 1 &1/2 hours getting to know you as an individual. Coupled with a detailed history, covering physical, mental and emotional symptoms, your Aurvedic Constitutional type or Dosha is determined, which is personalized for you. There are herbal remedies, dietary additions and modifications recommended as well a self-care techniques, which, once you start doing them, you will look forward to it, as you are nurturing yourself.
I think that is what many women in the healing professions, often forget about doing. I don't know where you live, but I live in Rye, NY. If you are interested in a resource for Ayurveda, let me know and I can send you a link. In the meanwhile, it might be worth googling for more information.
I think your attitude is excellent. The fact that you are looking at this as an opportunity for healing and taking care of yourself is very important. You will learn so much on your journey. It is my belief that we can heal ourselves by accepting, allowing, and loving ourselves, coupled with excellent knowledge, alternative resources and faith! Sending you healing energy. Best, Holistic Health RNLast edit by HolisticHealthRN on Apr 4, '111Apr 4, '11 by classicdame GuideI find myself planning meetings around my meal times. Otherwise I have to bring snacks and if someone objects, too bad. Same with plane rides. I tell my seat partner I need to take an injection. Most say they do not mind. The others I tell to close their eyes (I am doing it anyway).0Apr 4, '11 by HolisticHealthRNI believe that it is really important to take care of yourself. Bringing snacks with you to meetings and your medication when traveling is paramount, so you do not have a problem. I think it is good that you are considerate to your seat partner if you plan on giving yourself an injection, in case they need to excuse themselves vs fainting!2Apr 4, '11 by TheMuffinsI would caution against Ayurveda and Homeopathy. They are pre-scientific methods that gained popularity in the past because they were better than bloodletting, but have no scientific basis in reality. The 1 1/2 hour meeting and assessment is key: it's a wonderful caring person who wants to hear all about your problems and has all the time in the world, just for you. It has an effect because the practitioner is the therapy: mental health therapy. How many patients feel so much better after simply talking to their doctor? Plus, Ayurvedic medicines are often contaminated with Arsenic. As for homeopathy, if this therapy had any basis in fact, all our tap water should be considered homeopathic medicine.2Apr 5, '11 by country momThank you, insightful as always. I hope when folks read this, they can be more understanding of why it's so hard to live with diabetes and be more forgiving of so-called "noncompliant" patients. A decade in diabetes education, and I can tell you, most people already know what they need to do. But doing it is hard, and there are always roadblocks that get in the way of success. It's not an easy road.

With the TV Season Well Under Way, What Went Wrong for NBC?
We're in the sixth week of the new TV season, and you know what that means: All the excitement surrounding the slew of new fall shows has been replaced by cold, hard reality. Such as: Dinosaurs are not enough to make for compelling viewing; Charlie's Angels should've remained in TV heaven; and despite your undying love for Sarah Michelle Gellar, you're probably never going to get around to watching those episodes of Ringer that are clogging your DVR. And Vulture has looked beyond these three immutable truths, taking stock of the 2011–12 season to date to figure out just what we can learn from how the networks have fared so far. All this week, Vulture will check in on how each of the Big Four networks are doing, starting today with NBC, which remains stuck in Nielsen hell. How bad are things? Read on.
What's working: Well, Sunday night football continues to draw massive tune-in. And against most preseason expectations, the new Will Arnett–Christina Applegate–Maya Rudolph comedy Up All Night is not struggling in its role as the lead-off hitter for the network's Wednesday comedy outpost. While it's hardly a breakout hit, it often draws the same or better adults 18 to 49 ratings than any other NBC 8 p.m. weeknight show; it makes you wonder how it'd be doing if NBC had spent nearly as much time hyping it as it did Whitney. While the show needs to find a consistent voice (is it a family comedy? A 30 Rock spinoff in LA? A Cougar Town–ish meditation on grown-up Gen Xers?), there's no reason Up can't evolve into a modest success. As for the aforementioned comedy from Whitney Cummings, well: NBC has given it (and Up) a vote of confidence by ordering a full season of episodes. Call us single-camera snobs, but we're not convinced Whitney is clicking with Thursday-night viewers any more than Outsourced did last fall.
What's not: Pretty much everything else on NBC. Seriously, the Peacock is having a truly awful fall. Not only have most of its launches fallen flat, but perhaps even more worrisome is how some of the few remaining tentpoles left over from the
General Zod Zucker era are also crumbling. The Biggest Loser is down about 22 percent versus last fall and has shed young viewers almost every week this season. Law & Order: SVU is down about 20 percent and is getting its butt whipped by both CSI and ABC newcomer Revenge. By comparison, The Office is doing pretty well: While its season premiere was the show's lowest-rated since the series' 2005 opener, its ratings are off a relatively modest 10 percent or so from last fall, and on a par with where they were last May (right after you-know-who departed). It's also the only show on NBC right now that regularly cracks Nielsen's top twenty with viewers under 50. As for the frosh, The Playboy Club and Free Agents were canceled after a couple of airings, while Prime Suspect is only sticking around because, well, it's a good show and NBC ain't got much else. Finally, one more sign of how NBC is truly rolling in the deep: The Peacock's most-watched series is sophomore Harry's Law, and during the week ending October 16, it just barely cracked Nielsen's top 40.
What's next: Prayer — plus the return of The Voice and the promising Smash. The good news for NBC is that in this time of crisis, it appears to have a steady hand on the till. The old NBC regime likely would've blown up its entire schedule by now; by contrast, Peacock chief Bob Greenblatt seems to be the model of calm. While he's wisely cut bait when it was clear no hope existed (see Agents and Playboy), he's doubled down on shows he thinks might yet have a future. That's why Prime Suspect is airing at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday this week. It's also why he didn't rush Fear Factor on the air to artificially pump up ratings in the meaningless November "sweeps," but is instead waiting until December, allowing plenty of time to get viewers stoked for its return (hey, lots of people watch Wipeout). Greenblatt's big hope now is that The Voice returns in February at least as strong as it exited last June, and that Smash can appeal to those who don't regularly read Playbill. Before that, NBC's only two remaining hopes this calendar year are that Grimm (bowing this Friday) is a sleeper hit and that folks still have a soft spot for Fear Factor.

The federal estate tax (a.k.a. the federal death tax) is a tax that applies to estates worth $1 million or more. Since 2002, the estate tax has gradually been on its way out. Exemption levels are increasing, while the tax rate is decreasing, and by the power of these elements combined, in 2010 the estate tax will be nothing more than a mere memory for a little while at least. Once the federal estate tax is repealed, any inheritance that a heir sells will be subject to capital gain taxes, and the capital gain won't just be taxed on the value gained after the inheritance (like it currently is), but on value gained since the original purchase. These include property, stocks and bonds, which are currently considered capital assets.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable life insurance now.
With the new rules, if someone bought a bond for $20, then after you inherited it, its worth rose to $200, and then you sold it for $300-you would be required to pay capital gain taxes on the bond totaling $280. You end up paying taxes on the total amount you gained from the inheritance, minus the original purchase price. With the old rules, you would just pay $100 of capital gain taxes, because while it was in your possession, it grew $100 in worth.
This isn't a permanent feature though. In 2011, the estate tax will be back in action, but the exemption level will drop back down to $1 million or more, while inheritance will once again be taxed at 55 percent. Below is a copy of the Federal Estate Tax Repeal Schedule:
|Federal Estate Tax Repeal Schedule
|Tax Rate
|Exemption Level
|$1 million
|$1 million
|$1.5 million
|$1.5 million
|$2 million
|$2 million
|$2 million
|$3.5 million
|Tax Repealed
|Tax Repealed
Exemption Clause
To make everything more complicated, there is an exemption clause in the tax legislation regarding the federal estate tax repeal. According to financial experts, this "exemption clause" in the capital gains tax could potentially be offset by an exemption of up to $1.3 million per individual, with an additional $3 million exemption for transfers to a spouse. How do you know what qualifies for this exemption? This exemption would work the same as the $20 bond example above, by changing the base value of asset to the current value at the time of inheritance.
Pros and Cons
One of the pros of the law is that long-term planning may become more stabilized. A con is that with the inheritance status change, record keeping and estate planning are going to be even more difficult. With new exemption clauses and spousal transfer issues, the federal estate tax code will be more complicated than it is now.
Should you brace for a big impact?
As long as your financial plan for the coming years is flexible, there is no reason to fret. It's too early to say whether or not you will be affected by the changes in the law, but if buyer's remorse for purchasing a second to die policy is eating away at you, remember this: having alternate life insurance policies will only help you and give your beneficiaries an added cushion when you pass away.
Keep in mind also that although the federal estate tax will be repealed, there will still be a state estate tax in effect. Depending on when you die, the value of your estate, your financial status and the laws that are in effect at that time, it may be beneficial for you to have a survivorship policy or alternate life insurance policy to aid your family in paying off any remaining estate taxes or debt that are not covered.
If the federal estate tax has you concerned, and you want to be sure you have adequate life insurance coverage in the event of your death, or if you are just interested in getting a life insurance quote, log on to Insurance.com. Here you will be able to evaluate multiple rates from best-in-class life insurance providers - helping you find the best life insurance coverage for you and your family.

Durata Therapeutics Relocating Corporate Headquarters To Chicago
Durata Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRTX) is working with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to relocate Durata's corporate headquarters to Chicago from Morristown, N.J. The State of Illinois' news release below provides additional details and background.
Governor Quinn Announces Durata Therapeutics Moves to Chicago
Biotech Start-Up Relocates from New Jersey, Plans to Create Up to 100 Jobs, Cites Talent Pool as Draw
Governor Pat Quinn announced today that biopharmaceutical company Durata Therapeutics is moving its global headquarters to Illinois from New Jersey. The drug development company's relocation to 200 S. Wacker Dr. in downtown Chicago is expected to create up to 100 new jobs in the next three years and bolster Illinois' expanding biotechnology industry. Governor Quinn has worked diligently to advance the biotechnology industry in Illinois."The life sciences sector is an important part of the 21st century global marketplace, and this high-growth industry has great potential to bring more jobs to our state," said Governor Quinn. "Durata Therapeutics' decision to move to Chicago is a testament to Illinois' role as a hub for biotech innovation." Since taking office in 2009, the governor has directed time and resources to support scientific research and life sciences development across the state. In 2011, Governor Quinn spearheaded the establishment of an incubator at the Illinois Institute of Technology for startups focusing on life sciences, biotechnology and other high-tech fields. The Biotechnology Industry Organization, a national trade group, named him "Governor of the Year" in 2011 for his economic development efforts. The Illinois biotech cluster includes more than 3,400 establishments and more than 80,000 employees, according to the Illinois Biotechnology Industry Organization. Illinois universities and colleges spend about $1.3 billion on biosciences research annually, according to the National Science Foundation. "Several of our executives have ties to the Chicago area, so the idea of building a biopharmaceutical company in Illinois is important to us," said Durata Therapeutics CEO Paul R. Edick. "We also are quite familiar with Illinois' deep talent pool in the pharmaceutical and hospital sectors. We look forward to recruiting many experienced employees to join our Chicago-based team over the coming years."

Mary King - as you've never seen her before! (photographer: Samantha Baker)
By Larissa Chapman
General news
31 August 2011 17:01
Top names from the worlds of eventing, show jumping, dressage and racing have stripped off for the Riders Revealed 2012 calendar - all for a good cause.The calendar, featuring top riders including Mary King, Geoff Billington, Mark Todd and Piggy French, will raise money to help the inspirational eventer Claire Lomas get walking again after a freak riding accident in 2007 at Osberton Horse Trials left her paralysed from the chest down.
Claire is determined to walk again and hopes to raise £35,000 for a ReWalk suit that will help her to achieve her goal. This new robotic suit will soon be available in the UK and Claire hopes to have one in time for the 2012 London Marathon, at which she plans to walk the 26-mile route.
Riders Revealed 2012 will be officially launched at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials this week in the celebrity talk arena. It's taken five months to produce with riders being photographed all over the country and it's now available to purchase for just £10 plus p&p at www.ridersrevealed.co.uk "I can't believe how brave the riders have been, the photos are fantastic," said Claire."I'm so grateful to everyone who has helped with the calendar, and to everyone who buys it."Claire's grit and determination has inspired many. Since her accident, she's achieved some truly remarkable goals including taking up skiing and subsequently being selected for the British Disabled Development Squad. She's also set up her own jewellery business, married her partner Mark and together they now have a beautiful little girl, Maisie.To find out more about Claire's fund raising campaign, visit: www.get-claire-walking.co.uk
Any profits over and above Claire's target amount of £35,000 will go to Spinal Research so please support this fantastic cause if you can.
