Indeed, this works good. However the name suggest it works with grep / regexp. And this is not the case: findstr is used.
After replacing the findstr line with a regexp variant the function did exactly what I wanted.
Thanks John!
thanks for including jcontrolDemo again.
Especially the linking of the various ui elements was very useful for me.
nice well structured example of reading binary data.
After last update jControlDemo was omitted from zipfile?

Our family was very lucky to receive a referral from a friend to contact Scott Sumner of Sumner & Associates. We had multiple legal needs ranging from lifestyle changes to estate planning. Mr. Sumner walked us through the legal process and provided us with solutions that made sense. We will continue to strongly recommend Sumner & Associates to our friends and family!
We used Sumner & Associates, PC to advise and direct us with our family estate planning. We own several properties and Scott was instrumental in providing us with the necessary documents for our Trust to keep our assets protected from the State coffers. Will go to Sumner again for any future concerns, should the need arise. Trustworthy. Honest. Brilliant. A Specialist in managing legal affairs.
We had a child that was being accused of a driving infraction that was trumped up by overzealous local police officers. We chose Scott to represent us as it was clear he knew the law and it's proceedings. We had the best outcome for the situation and would highly recommend him to defend family, friends and acquaintances.
Scott Sumner and his staff have provided me with outstanding legal representation and counseling for over 10 years. He has represented me in a variety of matters, from traffic and driving related, estate planning, and other miscellaneous probate issues. I have also referred Scott to several friends that have all provided me with positive feedback. I feel welcome and confident at the Sumner PC office.
Scott and his assistant were excellent. You can tell immediately he knew exactly what he was doing. They kept me totally informed along the way.
My wife and I were very pleased with Scott Sumner. He walked us through the whole estate plan process, educating us along the way. We feel very confident that when the end of time comes, our estate will be dispersed to our children in an orderly way.
Scott was very patient, kind and knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend him for legal services.

Great results! efficient staff, respectable attorney. Office kept me informed of the status of my case with regular updates. Great value and reasonable rates. Will definitely hire this firm for my next legal venture

In a recent editorial, the Washington Post urged Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley to commute the sentences of the four men remaining on the state's death row, saying, "To carry out executions post-repeal would be both cruel, because the legislation underpinning the sentence has been scrapped, and unusual, because doing so would be historically unprecedented." Maryland is one of three states that have repealed the death penalty prospectively but still have inmates on death row. The others are Connecticut and New Mexico. O'Malley, who is leaving office in January, was a supporter of repeal. Maryland Attorney Douglas Gansler, who opposed repeal, recently said that carrying out an execution in Maryland is, "illegal and factually impossible." The editorial concluded, "In signing the abolition of capital punishment into law last year, [O'Malley] was unequivocal: 'It's wasteful. It's ineffective. It doesn't work to reduce violent crime.' Having made the moral case for abolition so eloquently, he should have no trouble making the practical case for commutation to life without parole for the four remaining condemned men. And he should act without further delay." Read the editorial below.
On November 6, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler (pictured) filed a brief with an appellate court, formally requesting that the death sentence of Jody Lee Miles be vacated. Gansler argued that Miles's death sentence is no longer valid. Miles was convicted and sentenced to death in 1998. In 2006, Maryland's Court of Appeals suspended executions because the state's lethal injection procedures had not been lawfully implemented. In 2013, the state repealed the death penalty for future offenses. Upon repeal, Miles filed a motion to have his sentence changed to life in prison without parole, arguing that the repeal should apply to him, too. However, the appellate court rejected the argument, stating that the repeal only applied to future convictions. Gansler's motion contended that the absence of an execution protocol rendered an execution in Maryland a "legal and factual impossibility." He requested that Miles's death sentence be changed to life in prison without parole, and he noted that a decision on this motion would leave the door "wide open" for challenges from the other three defendants on Maryland's death row.
Maryland's death penalty repeal legislation will take effect as scheduled on October 1, 2013 after its opponents were unsuccessful in securing the number of signatures required to put the issue on the November 2014 ballot. Efforts to put Maryland's death penalty to a statewide vote were led by Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott D. Shellenberger and a group called MDPetitions.com. On May 31, the group announced that it only collected about 15,000 signatures, falling short of the 18,579 signatures required in order to proceed. If the group had met the initial deadline, they would have had until June 30th to collect more than 37,000 signatures from registered voters in order to place the referendum on the November 2014 ballot. "To be reaffirmed by the public, and know that justice is served, is wonderful," said Del. Samuel I. Rosenberg (D-Baltimore), who supported the repeal bill, "This is the most profound thing I will ever do." On May 2, Maryland became the sixth state in six years to abandon capital punishment when Governor Martin O'Malley signed the repeal bill into law.
A recent article in The Nation by David Love, the Director of Witness to Innocence, underscored the important role of people like Kirk Bloodsworth and Shujaa Graham (pictured), who were once on death row and now have been freed. These and many of the 140 other people who have been exonerated from death row have traveled the country, speaking to legislators, students, church groups, and the general public about the risks of executions. Bloodsworth's efforts in Maryland have received wide attention. Shujaa Graham, also a Maryland resident, was exonerated from death row in California after the state Supreme Court overturned his death sentence because the prosecutor had excluded African Americans from his jury. He was later acquitted in a re-trial. Both Bloodsworth and Graham recently attended the signing of the death-penalty repeal bill in Maryland.
On March 15, the Maryland House of Delegates passed (82-56) a bill to abolish the death penalty for future crimes. The same bill passed the Maryland Senate on March 6. Governor Martin O'Malley has pledged to sign the bill, which will make Maryland the 18th state to abolish the death penalty, and the sixth to do so in the last six years. O'Malley said, "I've felt compelled to do everything I could to change our law, repeal the death penalty, so that we could focus on doing the things that actually work to reduce violent crime." Maryland currently has five people on death row, but they will not be affected by the legislation. Prior to 2007, no legislature had abolished the death penalty since the 1960s. The other 5 states to recently abolish the death penalty are New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Illinois and Connecticut.
On March 6, the Maryland Senate passed SB 276 by a vote of 27-20. The bill replaces the death penalty with a sentence of life without parole for future offenses. The bill appears likely to pass the House of Delegates, and Governor Martin O'Malley has pledged to sign it. The bill would not affect the inmates currently on death row. If passed by the House and signed into law, Maryland would become the sixth state in six years, and the 18th overall to abandon capital punishment. Maryland has five people on death row and has carried out five executions since reinstating the death penalty in 1978. There have been no executions since 2005. Connecticut, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, and New Jersey are the other states that have ended the imposition of death sentences since 2007.
On February 21, the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee of Maryland approved (6-5) a bill to replace the death penalty with a sentence of life without parole. In prior years, the effort to end capital punishment was often blocked in this committee. Senator Robert Zerkin was one legislator who changed his mind this year, "As heinous and awful as these individuals [on death row] are, I think it's time for our state not to be involved in the apparatus of executions," he said. The bill outlaws future death sentences and recommends that current death sentences be commuted by the governor to life without parole. There appear to be sufficient votes for repeal in the Senate and the House, and Governor Martin O'Malley has pledged to sign the bill. A final vote in the Senate is expected by Feb. 26. The bill garnered support from a coalition of murder victims' families, communities of color, law enforcement officials, faith leaders, civil rights leaders, and other prominent individuals, including Kirk Bloodsworth--who was freed from the state's death row--Vicki Schieber--a Maryland resident whose daughter was murdered in Philadelphia in 1998--Catholic Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, and Ben Jealous, President of the NAACP. The governor has pledged to use some of the money saved from not having the death penalty to support victims' services. If Maryland repeals the death penalty, it will become the sixth state to do so in the past six years. Other states considering repeal of the death penalty, include Montana, Colorado, Kentucky, Oregon, and Delaware.

... Emmaus workers have ideas for each other either by telling about their ministry or problem solving together.
Activities planned for the rest of the conference include two more bathhouse visits, a meal in a sushi restaurant where the food travels past you on a conveyor belt, and a midweek meeting in a local assembly.

In his lifetime, Charles Darwin was roundly mocked for suggesting that humans were descended from apes, and even in our own day, the teaching of evolution remains controversial. But in the century and a half since the publication of On the Origin of Species, our increasingly sophisticated understanding of genetics has borne out Darwin's theory: humans share 99% of their genes with chimps (and many even with grapes!).
99% Ape offers an accessible, straightforward introduction to evolution, beginning with Darwin's discoveries and continuing through the latest genetic discoveries. Edited by Jonathan Silvertown, the volume brings together experts in a variety of fields pertinent to evolution, from paleobiology to planetary science, comparative anatomy to zoology, and even—for a discussion of legal battles surrounding the teaching of evolution—law. Interwoven with these varied accounts of evolution and its impact are vignettes from Darwin's life that illustrate the continuity of thought that links Darwin's work to today's cutting-edge research.
Beautifully illustrated, 99% Ape is a perfect companion to the upcoming celebration of Darwin's bicentennial and a bracing reminder of the important role evolution still has to play in our understanding of our origins—and our possible futures.

Jim Harbaugh has the Midas touch, and we're not talking about mufflers.
Harbaugh climbed out of a UFO two years ago and took the 49ers' job, and turned San Francisco's bumbling losers into instant winners.
He touched washed-up quarterback Alex Smith and turned him into a gunslinger disguised as a CPA. Then Harbaugh replaced the red-hot Smith with Colin Kaepernick, the kid from nowhere (actually Turlock, a suburb of Nowhere).
Gold, gold, gold.
And Saturday night, a golden win for the ages.
There are wins, there are impressive wins, and there are statement wins.
Then there is the Saturday Night Special, the 49ers' 45-31 win over Green Bay Packers. The 49ers, who have struggled in recent weeks, blew their cover. The word is out: Fear the 49ers.
Or at least respect them to the point of excess stomach acid.
The 49ers play for the NFC title next Sunday against either the Seahawks in San Francisco, or the Falcons in Atlanta. Winner goes to the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 3.
Only really good teams are left in the hunt, but no other team has a coach like Harbaugh and for sure nobody has a quarterback like Kaepernick, the Turlock Tornado. The combination can be stunning.
Kaepernick and the 49ers spotted the great Aaron Rodgers a 7-0 lead, on a Kaepernick interception, then, well, let Frank Gore tell it.
"It was good we stayed together" after Kaepernick's interception, said Gore, who ran for a tidy 119 yards himself. "We got rolling, and the game got kind of crazy."
Kind of crazy? Kind of like a tsunami or avalanche.
Colin was nimble, Colin was quick, Colin ran wild at Candlestick.
Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for 181 yards and two more touchdowns, breaking all kinds of NFL records, which seemed to impress him as much as did the postgame box lunch.
Everyone knows Kaepernick has a rocket arm and sprinter speed. But until Saturday, that speed has been more of a lurking threat than a reality. Then: Mama mia.
Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, heretofore reluctant to fully exploit Kaepernick's running ability, possibly to protect him, took off the leash.
Kaepernick sprinted for a 20-yard touchdown to tie the game 7-7, on a designed pass play. In the third quarter he gave the 49ers a seven-point lead with a 56-yard sprint. He ran amok.
"It helps when your quarterback runs a 4.3 40"-yard dash, offensive lineman Joe Staley said.
Two things are sure at this point:
-- No team wants any part of Kaepernick. He was phenomenal and unstoppable, a new mutant strain of NFL quarterback.
-- Nobody has coached up his team better than Harbaugh, whose decision to move Kaepernick into the starting role set off the hottest, angriest debate in recent Bay Area sports history.
Weird dude, that Harbaugh. But how's he doing?
(By the way, Jim's brother John is still around, too, coaching the Baltimore Ravens to a playoff win Saturday. Could an all-Harbaugh Super Bowl be looming?)
Of course, Harbaugh and Kaepernick aren't the entire story.
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree, the Crustacean Sensation, caught nine passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns. The way he's playing, Crab could get open in a broom closet.
Defensive lineman Justin Smith, the One-Armed Bandit, his left arm held together with duct tape and paper clips, played a hugely inspiring role in leading a defense that was able to limit the league's No. 1 quarterback to a very pedestrian (for him) game. The Packers' offensive linemen attacked Smith's left arm like hungry hounds fighting over a meaty bone.
Ancient running back Gore punched holes in the center of a Packers defense made doughy by being stretched beyond limits by Kaepernick.
Roman seemingly installed an entire new playbook between the 49ers' last regular-season game and Saturday, and Kaepernick ran it to perfection.
Can the 49ers do this again? Why not?
There was some fear on the part of fans that the playoff pressure would reveal Kaepernick's inexperience. What is his fear level?
After the interception, his teammates were watching.
"You want to see what his body language is" after the interception, center Jonathan Goodwin said. "It was good."
Nerves? Butterflies? Not for the Turlock Tornado. He doesn't talk much, but he wears garish, look-at-me football cleats, he celebrates touchdowns by Kaepernick-ing - kissing his biceps - and when he was double-team tackled at the end of a run, a crunching hit, Kaepernick leapt to his feet and spiked the ball and snarled, drawing a penalty for taunting.
Kaepernick has aced every test. So has Harbaugh.
Finals are looming.

St. Charles Seminary
Saint Charles Seminary was a Catholic seminary run by the C.P.P.S located in Carthagena, Ohio, United States. It is now a retirement center for clergy and lay people.
The first buildings on the site of Saint Charles Seminary were the former buildings of the Emlen Institute. The institute was a board school for African-American youth.
In 1861 the Missionaries of the Precious Blood purchased 200 acres of land and the former Emlen Institute since the institute had failed and the grounds and building had fallen into disuse.
The first building constructed on the premises was called the Old Abbey. In 1878 a new building was constructed and became the seminary. Then, in 1922, the construction of the seminary was completed which replaced a lot of the functions of the Old Abbey and previous seminary. Around this time enrollment peaked at 120 students.
The seminary closed in 1969 as a consequence of declining enrollment. Theology students for the order now study at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
Present day[edit]
In order to accommodate the retiring priests, which peaked in 1980s and 1990s, the former seminary was converted into a retirement home. The center is now in the process of being converted into a retirement home for lay seniors as well.

Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards catches a pass behind the defense of Lions cornerback Alphonso Smith. / JULIAN H. GONZALEZ/DFP
When we last saw Alphonso Smith, he was busy earning conference player of the week honors for his opponents. Smith, a Lions cornerback, got burned so often by the Patriots on Thanksgiving that he led the league in carbon footprint.
So Wednesday, I asked Smith about the Thanksgiving game, and ...
"We had a Thanksgiving game?" he asked.
Yes. It was against the Patriots and --
"Did we?"
Um ...
"I don't know anything about that game," he said with a smile. "I know we have a game this week versus the Bears."
Welcome to the life of an NFL cornerback, where yesterday didn't happen. Understand: Smith is not ducking responsibility. When the wounds were still fresh last Thursday, he said: "I take full responsibility. I'm a thumb pointer. I'm a guy I'm never going to point any fingers because the reality of the situation was I pretty much gave the Patriots the whole game."
So I'm not here to blame Alphonso Smith. He already blamed himself. And I wasn't really interested in rehashing the Lions' loss to the Patriots, because as I say about the Lions: Once you've seen a hundred ugly losses, you've seen 'em all.
My question is this: How do you feel when you hear Smith say he doesn't remember the Thanksgiving Day game? Do you see a likeable young player who is trying to forget a bad day at the office -- a guy you can root for? Or are you still angry at how he played? Do you think he should apologize from now until the Lions' next victory? I think these are the kind of questions you have to ask if you're a Lions fan.
It's easy for the passion to turn into anger, a feeling that there must be something fundamentally wrong with these guys for them to play that bad. The feeling is not exclusive to fans. Pretty much every Lions coach comes in determined to "change the culture."
I used to think this was the Lions' biggest problem, especially in the years when Shaun Rogers would eat a pregame meal before his pregame meal. But the culture is not close to the Lions' biggest problem. They just haven't had enough talent.
At some point, you have to decide if you're angry at Alphonso Smith or if you feel bad for him and want him to play better. If you decide you're angry, take my advice: Don't talk to him. You'd probably like him.
This conflict will play out on a grander scale when Drew Stanton starts at quarterback Sunday. I've written this before: I don't think Stanton is an NFL quarterback. I wrote it the day the Lions used the 43rd pick in the 2007 draft on him. (Three of the next four players picked -- Sidney Rice, LaMarr Woodley and David Harris -- became Pro Bowl-quality players.) Nothing in the past three-plus years has made me change my opinion.
And yet ... even if you agree with me, don't you want to see Stanton play well? He's a local guy, he has played through injuries, and he never complained when the Lions kept bringing in other quarterbacks to play instead of him. Stanton's ability is why three Lions offensive coordinators have never seriously considered him a starter. His attitude is why the Lions have kept him around anyway.
The Lions might be decent next year, but meanwhile, what we have is a big pile of losing buried under a heap of lousiness covered in a layer of wow-that-was-bad. Try not to mistake the players who are losing for losers.

Thanks for the reply Heretic!
With things like "Experimental Deflector" will these just give us rewards with quality based on success (Green success, blue super success) or will these actually be new or unique items that we couldn't get from a standard drop pool.
I guess a more simplified version of that would be; Are the rewards unique to the Assignment system or are they just pulled from standard loot tables?
Is there a chance of us seeing these experimental items offer perhaps upon a "Crit Success" a special unique that is part of a set with set bonuses that are only available through a Crit success on these various missions?
It'd be great to go into some desolate outpost and get an assignment that says "Volatile Eperiment - Deflector" and get an assignment with a high fail and crit fail rate that can give me a crit success reward with great advantages...something I could do say once a week...

New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed that Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff visited the White House only "twice, in 2001 and 2004," citing recently released Secret Service visitor logs. But as Media Matters for America previously noted, the White House has acknowledged several Abramoff visits not mentioned in the logs, and the White House and the Secret Service have both admitted that the records released "would not present a complete picture of Abramoff's" visits.
Fox News' Jim Angle uncritically reported Karl Rove's assertion that President Bush's "personal approval rating is around 60 percent." In fact, recent polling shows that Bush's favorability ratings have been in the 30s and 40s in 2006, not the 60s.
The White House released a series of statements, reportedly initiated by new press secretary Tony Snow, attacking specific media reports and editorials as misleading. Conservatives in the media have touted the statements as indicative of a new willingness on the part of the White House communications office, led by Snow, to call the press on its misinformation. But Media Matters for America has found that, of the six "Setting the Record Straight" releases issued from May 8 to May 11, at least four are highly misleading.
Fox News' Jim Angle misleadingly compared Bush's "approval rating" in a recent New York Times/CBS News poll to the "favorability rating[s]" of Sens. John Kerry and Hillary Rodham Clinton, noting that, while 31 percent of respondents approve of President Bush's job performance, just 26 percent hold a favorable view of Kerry and 34 percent hold a favorable view of Clinton. Angle neglected to mention that 55 percent of respondents view Bush unfavorably.
In a "newsbreak" report on the indictment of Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher on charges of conspiracy, official misconduct, and violating a prohibition against political discrimination, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith failed to identify Fletcher as a Republican.
In reporting on Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson's claim that his account of having denied a qualified publisher a government contract because of his alleged animus towards President Bush was merely "anecdotal" and did not actually occur, The New York Times and the Associated Press did not note that Dustee Tucker, Jackson's spokeswoman, had already twice indicated that Jackson was referring to a real contract.
In reporting and editorializing on the Senate Judiciary Committee's May 9 hearings to consider President Bush's nomination of White House staff secretary Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, The Washington Post and The Washington Times each offered incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading portrayals of Kavanaugh's nomination and of Kavanaugh himself.
CBS News' Jim Stewart minimized former CIA executive director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo's involvement in the burgeoning corruption and bribery scandal centered around defense contractor Brent Wilkes. Noting that Foggo had resigned his position, Stewart reported that Foggo "had been somewhat linked to a contract scandal in Congress, but people say that is not the reason he left. He simply decided that with his boss gone, it was time for him to leave as well." But Stewart's statement "somewhat" understates Foggo's connections to the "contract scandal."
On ABC's Good Morning America, Republican strategist Bay Buchanan falsely claimed that House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (CA) is "letting everybody know that she's going to spend two years with impeachment hearings" if Democrats win control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections. In fact, as The Washington Post reported, Pelosi has "vowed 'to use the power to investigate' the administration on multiple fronts," but she has "denied Republican allegations that a Democratic House would move quickly to impeach President Bush."
On Fox News Sunday, NPR's Mara Liasson again falsely claimed that Democrats received money from disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. As the weblog Think Progress first noted, she claimed on the May 7 show that "it's Democrats, not just Republicans, taking money from Abramoff." In fact, Democrats received contributions from Abramoff's clients and associates, but none from Abramoff directly.
On Meet the Press, Tim Russert cited a flawed AP article, which omitted key facts that undermined its suggested connection between Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, in order to link Reid to "money from Jack Abramoff."
A Washington Post article on the ethics-reform bill passed by the House of Representatives buried a crucial fact: The bill had provoked widespread criticism from Democrats and government watchdog groups. In addition, the article noted that eight Democrats crossed party lines and voted for the bill, but did not similarly note that more than twice as many Republicans crossed party lines to vote against it. Other major print outlets similarly omitted crucial context regarding the House bill.
NPR's Andrea Seabrook reported that one of Democrats' "big problems right now" is "convincing voters that the so-called 'culture of corruption' is a Republican thing." According to Seabrook, "there's a growing list of ethics allegations against Democrats in Congress," and as examples, she noted: "Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid [D-NV], Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow, and others took campaign contributions from Indian tribes that were associated with [disgraced former lobbyist] Jack Abramoff." In fact, neither Reid nor Stabenow are facing allegations of ethical misconduct regarding Abramoff contributions, and the mere receipt of contributions from Abramoff clients is not an indication of corruption.
Major media outlets have largely ignored reports by The Boston Globe's Charles Savage documenting President Bush's apparent willingness to disregard congressional authority through the use of "signing statements" asserting "that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution." The media have also ignored the response by Democrats to Savage's reports.
On The O'Reilly Factor, nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham claimed the "supposed mainstream media" are "making the same bet that [Sen.] Ted Kennedy [D-MA] is making" by supporting a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Ingraham maintained that just as Kennedy supports granting a path to citizenship because it will "redound to the Democrats' benefit," presumably through votes, the media -- which she claimed "tilts to the left" -- support citizenship because it will bring "new viewers, new listeners, new customers to the more liberal viewpoint" to which the media purportedly cater.

Comments about Uniflame 5-Bar Stainless Steel Fireplace Bar Grate - 23 inches:
Here in North Florida it's humid most of the time, but the fall and winter are great outdoor fire weather. We just built an outdoor fireplace, so adding accessories, and I thought "Stainless Steel Grate - sounds like the way to go for outside" and the description says "durable silver finish"... Well, don't count on it. One misty rain later and this grate is covered in rust spots. I guess I should have known, since it doesn't specify which grade of stainless. I'll keep it anyway just due to the hassle of sending it back and getting a standard old iron one that I knew would rust, but not really what I expected.

June Hedge Funds: Best, Worst, Biggest
Larry Robbins usually describes the approach of his $6.4 billion hedge-fund firm, Glenview Capital Management, as "suggestivist," cultivating amicable working relationships with corporate management to propose shareholder-friendly changes. Now he's becoming an activist for the first time, challenging one of his holdings in a proxy contest that is under way.
The switch in tactics isn't the result of any shortfall in Glenview's performance. Its flagship, the $4.8 billion Glenview fund, returned 26.8% last year, and over 10 years has provided an annualized 13.4% gain to its investors, due in large part to Robbins' focus on health-care stocks. His 13-year-old firm today has 72 employees and occupies the 44th floor of the prestigious General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue.
Top performer Robbins is getting more aggressive, waging his first proxy fight—against one of his many health-care holdings. Roger Hagadone for Barron's
There, he and his team conduct bottom-up research, searching for long-term investments in large-cap growth companies that have advantages beyond the direction of the economic cycle. The team makes pretty big bets: As of June 30, the Glenview fund's top-10 positions represented about two-thirds of its total assets.
Robbins, 43, started buying health-care shares in 2004, after President George W. Bush signed the Medicare Modernization Act, which mandated that the government increase reimbursements for companies that serve the elderly. About 40% of his firm's assets are now invested in health-care related companies, including Tenet Healthcare THC 5.904211395540876% Tenet Healthcare Corp.

He's the rare Wall Streeter who likes the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which extends insurance coverage to all U.S. citizens. "There were a lot of irrational fears around Obamacare," he says. Investors, for instance, initially sold shares of insurers before realizing they wouldn't necessarily fare badly.
Most recently, Robbins, who named his firm after his suburban Chicago youth hockey team, has been bullish on hospitals: One of his main investment themes is labeled "beds in 2014," highlighting the expansion in insurance coverage that starts next year. As he notes, "Customers receive care from those hospitals regardless of insurance."
But previously, the hospitals "collected only four cents on the dollar from the average cost" of an uninsured patient. By next year, the hospitals could be reimbursed for as much as 100% of those costs.
"This reform math supports a 10% uplift in Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] at for-profit hospitals," he says. Historically, the industry has averaged 6% organic annual growth in Ebitda. Starting next year, that should jump to the low- to midteens and continue until 2016, when it "may revert back to mid-single-digit growth." If immigration reform occurs and gives new citizens access to health care, that amounts to "a free call option" on hospital stocks.
ROBBINS' PUSH FOR changes stems from his belief that hospitals are "underleveraged" and should be buying back stock. "In early 2012, when we entered hospital stocks, they were trading at mid-single-digit multiples of Ebitda, and had the ability to lever [by offering debt] that four times," he says.
An example of what's possible is hospital owner Tenet Healthcare, of which Glenview is now the largest shareholder. When Glenview first took a stake, Tenet had so much cash and debt capacity it "could have bought back every single share in about 19 months," he notes. Tenet executives realized they could "allocate capital to share repurchase while maintaining responsible leverage," he says. "To their credit," they already had bought back 26% of the stock. And after talks with Glenview and other shareholders, Tenet went further, issuing $800 million in bonds in October 2012, using $500 million to buy more shares and $300 million for acquisitions.
The stock price has more than doubled, to $43 today.
In the case of his proxy target, Health Management Associates, the hospital company could repurchase 47% of its common equity by the end of 2014 by raising leverage to 4.5 times Ebitda from 3.7 times, and using excess balance-sheet cash and free cash flow for share repurchases. HMA stock trades at $15 a share, just 6.5 times Glenview's 2014 Ebitda estimate, and Robbins estimates the stock could be worth twice that in two years.
He says he doesn't care whether HMA boosts its share price via a takeover or by buying back stock. Thus far, Robbins and his team haven't been allowed to meet with management to suggest improvements, he says.
So, the former University of Pennsylvania hockey player is taking his case to other shareholders. Glenview holds just under 15% of the common and has put forth a slate of eight board members. He believes that the stock's less-than-1% return over the 10 years ending Dec. 31, 2012 demands change at the top. Robbins has spoken to some of the other investors. "As a careful organization," he says, "we wanted to know that we weren't the only ones dissatisfied with a lost decade of performance and lack of focus on issues we believe are critical." Institutional Shareholder Services, which advises institutions on proxy votes, is expected to come out with its recommendation in the first week of August, and the final date to vote is Aug. 19.
Robbins emphasizes that his hedge fund doesn't want a controlling stake in HMA, because it doesn't want to run companies. Instead, he points to talks Glenview has initiated with Tenet, medical-instrument maker Thermo Fisher Scientific TMO 2.204055462050172% Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.

For instance, when Thermo Fisher stock hit a price in the mid-$50s, Glenview urged the company to buy back shares, which it did. Once Thermo Fisher's share price hit the $80s, the company issued new shares to finance acquisitions. "Shareholders were clearly willing and able to finance that, because they knew the company would properly allocate capital."
HMA, says Robbins, has spent all its capital on acquisitions, but none on share repurchases. Management, he adds, gets compensated based on growth, rather than "EPS or value per share." He'd like to see more attention paid to shareholder value.
The HMA board filed its own findings with the SEC late Thursday. In a statement released to Barron's the board said it "believes strongly that stockholders should reject Glenview's efforts," and insisted that it has created value for investors.

GLENVIEW IS UNUSUAL among the bigger hedge-fund outfits in holding stocks for years and not employing stop-losses, as do funds that trade frequently. Robbins analyzed the 76 times the firm has owned a stock that went down by 25% or more in the past three years. "If we had sold, we would have avoided $98 million in losses. But that would have cost our investors $2.2 billion in gains. Stop-losses would have cost us that," he says.
Robbins has more conviction. "The hedge-fund industry acts like traders, not owners. Lower prices have induced selling, not buying, in the marketplace. The rationale has been to preserve capital because the system could crash," he says. Glenview approaches the stock market the way Warren Buffett or John Malone do, says Robbins, adding, "Think like an owner, not like a trader."

Sunday morning and I am finally feeling a bit better than I have been, actually yesterday I felt pretty good too, good enough that we went out and did some shopping for the wedding that I have to go to next weekend and I sort of hit a milestone that I had not expected at all and honestly haven't thought about. As we were walking around wify said "lets check out the mens section, who knows they may have something for ya" and me being me and not being able to shop in a "regular store" since I was about oh I don't know 18? I thought sure we can look but nothing will fit and off we went to the mens section where I ended up buying a button up shirt! this may not seem like something of a big deal to someone that can shop in normal stores but I cannot remember the last time that I walked into a store and bought anything clothing related right off of the shelf, it has either been in a "big and tall" shop or ordered out of a catalog so this is kind of a big deal to me. I am right on the size line with my pants as well, I am comfortably in a size 46 waist and most stores stop at 44 waist so I am close to being able to buy some new jeans at a "regular store" as well. the store we were in had jeans in my size but it was just not the style that I wear so I passed on the jeans for now but I bought something in a regular store! so I am a little bit excited about that.
Ok ok enough about the shirt, my intake from Saturday was very odd because we ended up out and not really in a position to get food when we should have made time and I ended up eating only 1275 calories with 85 of them coming in around mid night in the form of an orange, I don't feel hungry or anything today and I partially blame being under the weather for not having an appetite as well as the wrong place at the wrong time and not being able to get a meal in when I should have. Intake is pretty good otherwise and I am still happy with my losses and rate of loss and all of that and believe that raising my calories a bit has helped kick my metabolism into gear again.
I was thinking about how I stay driven and motivated during this entire time where I have been losing the weight and getting healthy and it dawned on me that I really don't know how I am staying driven, I don't have a go to plan or a panic switch that I hit when the going gets tough, I just keep doing what I am doing no matter the circumstances and it seems to be what has worked up until this point. I do think that having my lovely wife by my side with the same health goals in mind helps a lot, she is there to remind me when I am about to make a mistake and grab that bag of beef jerky off the rack at the store or to remind me that I wanted to ride the bike a second time on a certain day so having her there as support definitely helps but I think what keeps me on track the most is the fact that I know what I have to do and there I just about nothing that I can think of that is more important than that to me right now because if I do not correct it I might not be here to see the rest of what is important for very long, that and the fact that I believe once you can slip into a state of mind where knowing that you don't NEED the pizza or knowing that you do not NEED to eat those extra fries with dinner it becomes easier and easier by the day, and the exercise becomes an addiction, at least it has for me in the past couple months, I have been not feeling well for the past few days and I am going nuts because I want to ride the bike or go for a walk..something! anything! just sitting here is not cool! with all of that said I think it comes down to being in that State of mind and knowing no matter what, you have to stay on track because it is what must be done and failure is NOT an option, at least thats how I look at it. so maybe I stay driven because I know that I made a decision to lose the weight and I am the type of person that when I make a decision to do something I feel that I need to have the follow through to complete the task, or maybe I reflect back to the first day in my adult life that I actually felt fear when I read that a WLS came with the chance of death and until that point had came to the conclusion that it was my only option to lose weight, I don't know for sure. what I do know for sure is that I have to lose this weight, I have to be around for my wife and kiddos and I have to be around to see all of the things to come in this life and at 534 pounds I feared it wasn't going to last much longer, here I sit at 394 pounds typing out an entry on a blog that I started almost out of desperation and maybe just to put it out there even if only to strangers that I was in fact more than one quarter of a ton in weight and hoped to be embarrassed into submission, I don't know, all I knew is that something had to be done and here I am doing it. does that explain how I stay driven? again I don't know but its what came out when I asked myself that question so I guess maybe it is. There is no easy way to do this, there is no miracle pill and wishing won't make it happen either. the bottom line is that a lot of hard work and a lot of discipline will need to be found and put to use if success is to be found and staying driven is all a part of that, am I driven? Yes I am.

This Ducati S2R 1000 weighs in at 394 pounds. and because spark only allows one upload on a blog you can check out my blogpot @ zeusmeatball.blogspot.com/2008/08/weighing-in-and-couple-more-pounds-gone.html to see what weighs as much as I have lost...er sorta this week :)
Upon waking this morning I feel worse than I did yesterday, I will say that first. But onto business, I hopped on the scale and it said 394.4 pounds twice so I will call it 394 and a loss of 2 pounds this week and at that I am a bit surprised I must admit. I have done no exercise as I said in my last post and upped my calorie to 1700 this week and somehow pulled off a 2 pound drop all while being sick for the past 5 days so I am happy about that. one thing I am going to for a day or two to attempt to get better faster is eat a few oranges and not count them in my 1700 calories if I can help it, maybe some orange juice as well as its always seemed to help me get better faster in the past and being sick isn't fun and worth the extra intake.
My intake came in at 1550 calories yesterday mostly because I wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like eating and the fact that we had a later than usual dinner so I called it a day and did not make up the last 150 calories, no worries. and with that I give you yesterdays menu.
2 cups shredded wheat 380
1 cup 1% milk 110
3 slices light rye bread 120
4oz deli turkey breast 110
1 T Miracle whip 35
dill pickle 10
1 hebrew national hot dog 45
1 slice light rye 40
relish/mustard 20
8oz ground turkey 320
2 80 cal rolls 160
6oz sweet potato fries 150
ketchup 20
condiments 30
Grand total of 1550 calories and a 2 pound loss this week, I'll take it, and other than being sick I guess its not been too bad a week where my weight loss is concerned but I am missing the exercise part of the equation which is not something you would have heard me mutter just seven months ago but at the same time maybe my body needed a rest and is why I am sick currently, who knows? not me, but as soon as this congestion and sore throat is gone I will be back outside hiking and riding my bike in the evenings again. This weeks 2 pound loss is great and I am constantly chipping away at the extra weight, I am looking forward to lighter days.

Natalie Coughlin
The title says it all, I am sick as a dog, sore throat, cough, stuffy head and feeling tired as anything and I have just been sitting around trying to feel better hence the lack of posts in the past few days. I have done zero exercise since the walk at my MIL house mentioned in my last post but I decided to keep the calories at 1700 per day anyways just because I honestly believe that I need the extra intake. things intake related are on track I did have one day where I went over by 32 calories because a beer was needed and I am not even worrying about going over by 32 on one day, I have stayed off of the scale so I am not sure how it will look in the morning, I am hoping for a loss of course but with the week that I had I am not expecting anything and I know that the smaller guy inside me will tear his way out because it is already happening, even as I type this.
I have been watching as much of the Olympics as I can and told my wife that I want to start swimming, swimming being what is keeping me interested in watching right now. My wife was a competitive swimmer from age 6 to 18 and it has always impressed me with the way she swims, when wify is in the water is when she looks the strongest to me and well if I am being honest its hot, so I think part of my interest stems from that as well, in fact I will admit to having a bit of a lets call it a crush on one of the swimmers this year Natalie Coughlin and someone brought it to my attention that there is a resemblance between my wife and her and I wonder if thats where it comes from, but enough about that. I think a lot of people watch something like the Olympics and get motivated and its doing just that to me because I know that I will start swimming soon enough, one because its a great way to get Cardio into a day, two I am not really what you would call a strong swimmer, I can swim just not as good as I would like and three it is something that wify could/would get into more if it were to happen. so to sum that up I am enjoying watching the Olympics this year and I am actually getting motivation from it so though I am sick I am enjoying myself.
I have to admit that I have a bit of cabin fever because of being sick and I am just pining away to go out on a hike or a long walk or something and its been beautiful here in New England the past few days so its doubly frustrating to be under the weather. I mentioned that I was going to start deficit tracking this week but with the not being able to workout I was not able to start it but as soon as this cold or whatever this is passes I will jump right in there. did I mention that I am going nuts for a hike or something? oh yeah I did...
I plan on weighing in tomorrow morning and getting a weigh in post up fairly early so look for that and I hope to have a loss or at least stay the same as last week but I would not be surprised at a small gain just because I upped the calories and the exercise was non existent this week, we shall see, Thanks for reading along while I drop a whole person from my body.

How about a magic trick? Ta-daa!
Lately I find myself thinking about how things were 7 months ago and earlier when I weighed 138 pounds more than I do now and the things that I couldn't do then back then, and more so I think about the things that I can do now compared to that time in my life. over the weekend as I took a walk with wify and the kiddos I found myself thinking back to last summer and how I could not make a 1/4 mile walk to see a broken bridge, and I have mentioned that day in this blog before but I feel that it is one of the moments in my life that made me really think about just how over weight I was so it sticks in my thoughts, anyways we were walking around a lake that is close to my Mother in laws house and ended up walking for two and a quarter miles so just about two miles further than that attempted bridge walk last summer and it dawned on me what I had accomplished, here I am walking more than 2 miles and I have zero back pain, I am not out of breath and the only thing that was a slight annoyance was a small spot on my foot where my sneaker was rubbing because I had on old socks that have thinned a bit and then Sunday we had a sitter and decided to go see a movie, we went to see The Dark Knight (which was a great movie) BUT the worry that I had was the theater seats, I had never been to this place and was worried that they would not have the seats where the arm rest lifts up so I was thinking about how this may just be a very uncomfortable couple hours worth of fidgeting around trying to enjoy the movie and when we got there indeed the seats arm rests did not lift up "here we go" I thought to myself as I ran up (yes I ran up the stairs) to the back row, sit down and wow I thought its not the most comfy thing in the world and I will admit that I was wiggling around a bit but I was able to sit in the non movable arm rest style theater seats which to many people may seem like a so what kind of thing but I honestly can't remember the last time I was able to go to a movie that did not have the arm rests that lift so this is a good thing. I have come a long way in the past few months and it was a lot of hard work and a lot of retraining myself to not look at food as anything more than fuel for my body, with the occasional treat of course but thats the key to losing weight I am finding, it is a very simple formula of eating enough to fuel your body without leaving an excessive reserve, who wouldda thunk?
Ok now for that movie and only because it was so good I feel like a review is in order, I will admit that I went in thinking it was going to be a good movie because all of what I have heard and I heard a lot of people all say that it was a good flick but Man! it was awesome. Heath Ledger was amazing in it and thats the part that I thought was all hype before going to see it for myself, I thought that because of his death that he was being hyped, now that I have seen it myself I can say that he did an excellent job in that role and I was already a fan of his because of the movie "A Knights Tale" its sort of one of the movies that makes me think of my wife because we both love that movie so much. from his magic trick in the beginning of The Dark Knight straight on up until a Nurse with a silencer He really did have the crazy motherfuc... role nailed down perfectly, I absolutely loved him in this flick it is truly a loss to the world of movies that he passed. I highly recommend that if you didn't see this movie that you do so.
Intake for the weekend was a bit meh, but over all I think it was not too bad I did have some take out Chinese food on Saturday (General Tso's chicken with white rice) which I do not know how many calories was in it but I don't care either, its not a terribly bad thing to have a treat now and again and thats how I look at that meal, I did have 815 calories to spare at dinner so if I went over I couldn't imagine it was by much. Sunday I hit 1700 calories on the nose, well I shouldn't say "on the nose" because I am not exactly sure how many calories were in the pop corn I had at the movies, My wife and I shared a medium popcorn during the movie and I ate about 1/3 of that (small) medium bag and we guessed it at about 200 calories after looking up a few calorie websites, so take my "on the nose" with a grain of salt. here is a look at that menu.
2 cups of honey bunches of oats 320
1 cup of 1% milk 110
less than half of med movie popcorn 200
2 multi-grain english muffins 200
2 wedges laughing cow cheese 70
1 serving turkey pepperoni 70
sliced tomato 15
5.5oz roast chicken breast 275
3/4 cup white rice 150
1/2 cup black beans 100
light sour cream 20
1 apple 100
1 fudge pop 70
Grand total of 1700 calories for Sunday and theres another day down in the trip to the half, I also wanted to mention that I am going to give deficit tracking a go, I figure with all of the exercise that I am trying to get into my days that I may as well track it and see what I am burning, it may just push me to do a bit more work which can only be a good thing so it shall be so, I will start counting today and see what I end up with by the end of the week and then set a goal for myself for next week and see how I do with it, maybe it will be something that helps me or maybe it will be something that I discard after looking at it for this week we will see. Thanks for reading and all that jazz.

This GS500F weighs in at 396 lbs
Today is the day that the Olympics start as well as the day that I weigh in, when I woke up I went straight to the scale and hopped on and I have a loss this week of 3 pounds, its actually more than that but I only count whole numbers usually last week I weighed 399 and this morning the scale said 396.o for the first number and then 395.4 and then 395.6 so I will call it 396 for the weight this week so a 3 pound drop from last week and I have finally kicked 399 to the curb for the first time in 2 weeks and I have to admit I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders no pun intended. this is with me upping my intake by 200 calories per day and exercising more consistently and I hope to see another drop for next week but thats getting ahead of myself and I am just glad to see 399 gone for now.
Intake was good for Thursday coming in at 1653 total calories and I had to eat a Zone bar around 8pm to get all of them in but I don't mind that as Zone bars taste awesome. and I did get some movement in on my stationary bike, I rode for 25 minute in the am and then again last night for another 20 minutes so 45 total minutes and it looks like rain again for today so the bike will be how I get my workout in today as well and I want to have it completed before the Olympics start tonight o that I can relax while watching the opening ceremony. here is the menu for Thursday.
2 slices whole wheat bread 140
1 T peanut butter 95
1 T Grape jam 50
1 pear 85
Tuna/pasta smart ones meal 250
1.5 oz pretzel sticks/mustard 163
dannon light and fit yogurt 60
1 pear 85
2 cups home made soup 300
2 multi-grain english muffins 200
1/2 T Smart balance spread 25
1 caramel zone bar 200
Over all I am pleased with my progress in the last 7 months and will continue on with the current plan of 1700 calories for another week, and if I lose again next week 1700 will become the normal intake amount and I will keep the exercise where it is because I can 100% feel myself getting stronger by the day where my endurance is concerned, and that wraps up another weigh in day and 3 more pounds gone. Thank you for following along and as always kids, tune in again same bat time same bat channel to find out how the good fight goes.

State Budget Woes
Oklahoma City, OK – We have the latest on the Oklahoma State Budget.
The revenue numbers continue to trend downward. Governor Henry would still like to hold off until the regular legislative session before dipping into the rainy day fund.
But, for the first time, the Governor is hinting he may not be able to deal with Oklahoma's cash crisis. He says the state will need to dip into the rainy day savings account soon.
He admitted to reporters the budget strain is increasing on state agencies and may need to be addressed before February.
