A friend's son had two goats for his 4H project and, after the exhibitions were over, he lost interest in taking care of them, so they came to join Boots, Raja and Daphne. It made Daphne really happy, one girl and two boys, even neutered boys, is not a good combination. Now she is joined by Shirley, a coal black one and Lucy, a pure white one. They all integrated quite well and with minimal head-butting.
My dog Gussie is so taken with the expanded herd, she spent all day hanging around the goat area, and "herding" them, that is - running along the fence and making sure they stay inside their fenced area. I finally had to call her in, because she is no pup and has been sedentary lately, she got exhausted, but like a true McNab she would not quit. Funny how two small goats can make everyone smile and feel good. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lilo, do goats have an Alpha goat or leader of the pack? If so, what determines it? Whoever is biggest? (My animal husbandry knowledge is appalling!) |
Boots, the biggest boy, is the leader, he is a bit of a bully. Most herds, this one included, also has a "passive leader" usually the wisest female, who leads behind the scene and has a lot more influence than it appears. Daphne is that one. Observing their interactions gives the clues to the group dynamics. |

I am happy for Daphne, one lady against two guys is a bit unequal. Never had any, but I love goats. |

It sounds like a happy time at your place, Lilo. Glad to see that. Lol, limited head butting is a good thing. I guess they had to establish some sort of order in the herd. Makes me smile. |
Thanks for your explanation; as is often the case, a wise woman in the background is a *good thing*. |

This is an exercise (13.8) in Rudin's Functional Analysis.
Let an operator $T$ in $L^{2}(\mathbb R)$ be defined as follows:
$\mathcal{D}(T)=\{f \textrm{ absolutely continuous}\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}): f'\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})\}; TF=if'$.
The exercise is to show that T is self adjoint. Here is what I have done so far:
Let $f,g \in \mathcal{D}(T)$.
Then $\int_{\mathbb{R}}Tf \bar{g}d\mu=\int_{\mathbb{R}}if'\bar{g}d\mu=-i\int_{\mathbb{R}}f\bar{g'}d\mu$ (using integration by parts and the fact that $f(t)\rightarrow 0$ as $t\rightarrow \pm\infty$).
So we have $<Tf,g>=<f,Tg> \forall f,g \in \mathcal{D}(T)$.
Hence $T$ is symmetric, i.e. $T\subset T^{*}$.
It remains to show that $T^{*}\subset T$.
I don't know if the rest of what follows is correct:
Let $f\in \mathcal{D}(T), g\in \mathcal{D}(T^{*})$ and let $\phi=T^{*}g$.
Let $\Phi(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{x}\phi(t)dt$ (Does this make sense? Is $\phi$ absolutely continuous?)
Then $\Phi'(x)=\phi(x)$
Hence $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f'\overline{(\Phi-ig)}d\mu=0$.
Since this is true $\forall f \in \mathcal{D}(T)$, it follows that $ig-\Phi\in R(T)^{\perp}$.
Is it true that $R(T)=L^{2}$? In that case, $g$ is a scalar multiple of $\Phi$ and so $g\in \mathcal{D}(T)$.

Breakfast Topic: Do you treat Azeroth as a virtual extension of the real world? {WoW}
May 19th 2009 3:12PM This definitely applies to me. I lost a lot of my RL friends when I left my husband, as most of them had been mutual friends and they sided with him in the split. So my friends in-game became the closest friends I have. Unfortunately I live in Canada and my closest friends live in OK, TX, NY, CA and SC.
A year and a half ago my company sent me to a course in the US for work, and I was able to choose my location between Dallas and Chicago. It just so happened I had three guildies in Dallas and four more just a few hours north of there, so I chose Dallas and made plans to meet those guildies. We had a drunken good time in one guildie's backyard/swimming pool and the married guild members even brought their kids!
Now we've all gotten together three times. The first time there were 8 of us, the second time 12, and the third time we had 14!! More guild members come every year and we have a blast. I've taken to using my vacation to go there; I can't afford to go anywhere exotic, but I can afford one plane ticket once a year. My trips down to Texas to party with the guildies are pretty much the highlight of my year now and I can't wait to go again.
We don't even play WoW when we get together... and when we are playing WoW together, we all talk about RL stuff like kids, work, houses, etc. I know when my friends move on to a new game I will probably move with them; it's not about WoW at all but really about the people I met there. The game is fun but the people are far more important to me.
And yes I do have RL friends around home now, but still haven't met anyone I've gotten as close to as my guild friends. We've had our drama moments and even some soap opera moments but the core group of the guild is a group of friends that I think will stay together through thick and thin for a long time.

Sounders gaining ground thanks to healthier bodies, grittier minds
Seattle's five-game unbeaten streak is due in part to players returning from injury, but coach Sigi Schmid also credits renewed passion and determination on his team.
Seattle Times staff reporter
FC Dallas @ Sounders,
7:30 p.m., Ch. 5
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Weekend Watch: Must-see matches from around the world NEW - 1/30, 12:21 PM
The Sounders are back.
They have won three out of four games and gone unbeaten in five. They are jumping up in the standings and soaring in MLS power rankings leaguewide.
For the first time this season, Seattle isn't at least tied for the fewest points in the Western Conference coming into the week.
So what exactly led to the turnaround?
"Something we started talking about was, 'We've got to find our passion and our determination and our grit,' " coach Sigi Schmid said after Saturday's 4-0 home win against San Jose.
"If we can find that part of our game, as I told the team, the soccer will follow."
That passion, determination and grit came on a three-game road trip earlier this month, according to Schmid, when the Sounders went 2-0-1 in visits to Colorado, Philadelphia and Kansas City. Each result had a fair share of luck, and Seattle easily could have gone 0-1-2, but the tenacious, scrappy attitude was back — a stark contrast to a docile start to the league season.
The team's quality finally caught up to effort in Saturday's four-goal demolition of the Earthquakes, who boasted the best record in MLS last year and had won four in a row against the Sounders.
"I am very proud of the team and the hard work we have been doing," said midfielder and captain Mauro Rosales. "It shows because we want to get better and be a tough team."
Seattle was winless in five games to the start the year, though goalkeeper Michael Gspurning said the slump was not as bad as it looked "because we had chances and we had good games. We just didn't have a (win)."
With one more win or tie this weekend, Seattle will match the third-longest unbeaten streak in team history.
Schmid called the matchup "a really good measuring stick for us."
Where the Sounders continue to struggle is with injuries, though team health has been improving.
Forward Obafemi Martins, who has been battling a knee injury, played most of the second half against San Jose and scored the final goal in the blowout. Fellow designated player Shalrie Joseph, coming back from a hamstring strain, played 90 minutes in Sunday's reserve game against Orlando City SC. Midfielder Steve Zakuani, on his way back from a groin injury, went 55 minutes with the reserves.
But the turnaround has been just as much about attitude as personnel.
"There is a lot of pride in that locker room, and there was a lot of disappointment when we didn't get off to the start we wanted," Schmid said. "We had a little bit of a distraction called the Champions League, as well, that held our focus, and we accomplished some things there. We were the first U.S. team to knock off a Mexican team head-to-head, and I think that can't be minimized.
"We were one goal away from possibly advancing to the (CCL) finals. We did well there and maybe our focus was a little too great on that in those games sometimes. I just think the guys know their quality, they know they're better than that, and since (the CCL run), everybody's sort of been very determined about turning it around."
• Sounders FC fell to 1-2-1 in the MLS Reserve League with a 2-0 loss Sunday against Orlando City SC of the USL PRO. The game was played at Tacoma's Cheney Stadium as a way to test the market as the Sounders explore possibilities for their own USL PRO affiliate. The next reserve game for the Sounders is June 2 at Chivas USA.

To look at how food choices may be associated with physical and emotional health and social functioning, researchers collected information on diet and other health habits from 11,015 new college graduates in Spain. This information was collected again two and four years later. These young adults were categorized according to how closely they followed a traditional Mediterranean diet and by whether they maintained this dietary pattern over time.
The more vegetables, legumes (beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas), fruit, nuts, whole grains, and fish a person eats, the higher his or her Mediterranean diet score. People who eat fewer of these foods and those who eat more meat and dairy earn a lower score.
Drinking 5 to 25 grams of alcohol per day for women and 10 to 50 grams of alcohol per day for men also contributes to a higher Mediterranean diet score compared with drinking more or less alcohol. For comparison, one drink contains 14 grams of alcohol and is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces of malt liquor, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.
The scores were then grouped into four categories: low, low-moderate, low-high, and high. After following the participants for four years, researchers discovered that compared with the low, low-moderate, and low-high categories, people with a high Mediterranean diet score had significantly better physical and social functioning, general and emotional health, vitality, and less bodily pain.
Compared with participants who had the lowest scores at the start of the study, and whose scores stayed the same or became even lower over four years, people who improved their initial high diet scores had significantly better physical functioning, general health, and vitality.
This study is observational, and therefore shows an association--not cause and effect--between following a healthy, Mediterranean diet and better, physical, emotional, and social health. Still, the findings agree with many other studies suggesting we gain major health benefits from going Mediterranean. Try our tips to mix more Mediterranean into your daily fare:

Hi everyone! I seem to be asking so many questions lately. This one has to do with the cutout for our (Electrolux gas 5 burner) cooktop in a Silestone countertop. I am not clear about two issues in particular: 1) The Silestone manual recommends radii at the corners of the cooktop cutout because otherwise the quartz might crack; when I asked my fabricator about it, he first said that Silestone just says that to cover themselves, then he said when straight cuts are made, they may go over each other at the corners and that will cause possible cracking, so he will" do a slight radius". Please give me your feedback. Is a radius an angled cut? What is normally done for cooktop cutouts in quartz counters? What is an 'usual' radius at each corner? 2) He said one just drops the cooktop in, into the cutout, and that's it- connect it to the electrical outlet and we're good to go. Nothing more needs to be done. I can't believe this - is this true? Don't cooktops have to be supported somehow, in the countertop? Forgive me my ignorance :-(. Thanks! |

a radius cut is a curve, not an angled cut |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 4:30
Usually the units do not require any other support. Some have clamps to hold them in place, some dont use them |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 8:04
Why are you having doubts about what your fabricator is telling you? He's 100% correct. |
- Posted by boone_2009 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 20:39
new-beginning: yes, of course, I wasn't thinking, duhhh. Sorry - my only excuse is that I'm fatigued. weedmeister: thank you, reassuring to know. hollysprings: I guess because I am a stupid over-thinker! |

Catamounts get jump on New HampshireFebruary 07,2013MENS BASKETBALL
Vermont 63, UNH 48
BURLINGTON Luke Apfeld scored 16 points and Vermont jumped on New Hampshire early en route to a 63-48 win over the Wildcats Wednesday night in an America East game.
The Catamounts (15-7, 8-2), last years A-East champions, stormed to a 34-16 halftime lead over New Hampshire (7-15, 2-7) and coasted home. This was much easier than Vermonts 64-51 win at New Hampshire on Jan. 2.
Apfeld, whose 16 points included two 3-pointers, helped the Catamounts build a 27-8 lead. He got help from Clancy Rugg, who also hit two treys, and Ethan ODay. They scored 13 and 10 points, respectively. Bryan Voelkel grabbed 14 rebounds.
The Wildcats hurt themselves from 3-point range. They made just 3 of 14 treys, all three from Scott Morris in five attempts. Vermont was 7 of 22 from long range.
Patrick Konan led New Hampshire with 15 points, shooting 7 for 15 from the field.MORE IN Wire SportsSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Full StoryNot so long ago, we came to praise the New England Patriots.

'Flashdance' ice buckets
Twenty dancers, instructors and a few parents involved with The Dance Factory performed a number from "Flash Dance," and then dumped buckets of ice water on themselves for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Monday. Dance Factory owner Tina Hirchkorn said everybody thought her dancers would perform hip-hop but she wanted to recreate an iconic scene from the 1983 movie, incorporating elements of jazz and modern dance. Raquel Salazar, Drayden Haunt and Treslie Ball were the featured dancers in the piece, and teachers Jessica Kratochvil and Casey Mincoff helped with choreography.

Kansas plays the good and the bad in the rout of UNC
SAN ANTONIO -- Danny Green's 3 was on its way through the rim. And somehow, preposterously, the national semifinal had gone from game over to game on.
There were 8 minutes and 14 seconds left in a national semifinal of wild mood swings. A shocking 28-point lead had dwindled to five, seemingly in record time.
North Carolina was surging. Kansas was collapsing. A Final Four fold-up of epic proportions was in the air. Jayhawk Nation was facing a scenario so nightmarish it would make Bucknell a minor disappointment: Roy Williams was going to come back from a four-touchdown deficit to beat the school he jilted. Bill Self was going to be on his way to Stillwater under cover of darkness.
As soon as Green's shot dropped through the net, this would be a one-possession game. The pressure on the Jayhawks was about to spike.
Except Green's shot never did drop. It went as far in as any shot I've ever seen without going in, then it spun off.
"Went all the way in and came back out," Williams said.
The rebound dropped softly, almost straight down, into the hands of Carolina freshman Will Graves. Why was Graves in the game at a critical juncture of the Final Four? I have no idea, other than that the Dean Smith Coaching Bible says you play a million players, sometimes at the oddest moments.
Graves played one minute in Carolina's Sweet 16 victory over Washington State. He took a DNP in the regional final against Louisville. But here he was, getting clock in the first half and the second half against Kansas, and with the ball in his hands.
Then Will Graves did what Will Graves would be expected to do under the basket against a Kansas front line that had mauled Carolina's all night. He turned the ball over.
And then Cole Aldrich (?) made two free throws, and Sasha Kaun (!) dunked a lob, and everyone in Kansas could stand down from DEFCON 1. Carolina never again got a shot at reducing the game to a single possession. The Jayhawks closed the game on a 26-13 run. Kansas went back to being awesome, went on to beat the Tar Heels 84-66 and now moves on to the national title game against Memphis on Monday.
If Good Kansas shows up to play the Tigers, the River Walk will belong to Rock Chalk. Good Kansas made a 23-minute appearance at the Alamodome on Saturday night -- the first 15 minutes and the last eight -- looking like the Celtics. Good Kansas outscored Carolina by the staggering sum of 66-25. Good Kansas took the No. 1 team in the nation and slapped it silly.
Good Kansas is Brandon Rush slashing to the basket over and over, on his way to 25 points and seven rebounds. Good Kansas gets 10 steals. Good Kansas bludgeons the nation's best rebounding team by nine on the glass. Good Kansas holds the nation's No. 2 scoring team to 23 points below its average.
Good Kansas was so good out of the gate that it looked like fiction. Good Kansas led 40-12, overwhelming the tournament's overall No. 1 seed. Good Kansas treated the lordly Heels as if they were Nebraska.
"To start the game, it didn't feel like we had 10 hands out there," coach Self said. "It felt like we had 14 or 15."
Bad Kansas played the middle 17 minutes, at times bearing a marked resemblance to the shaky team that had staggered past outmanned Davidson in the regional final the previous Sunday. Bad Kansas turned the ball over. Bad Kansas jacked up bad perimeter shots as soon as possible, lengthening a game it should have been ending. Bad Kansas was outscored 41-18.
"We went brain-dead for a little bit," Jayhawks big man Darnell Jackson said.
If Bad Kansas shows up for an extended period Monday night, Memphis will win its first national title. Bad Kansas is backup point guard Sherron Collins committing seven turnovers. Bad Kansas is Rush missing five 3-pointers. Bad Kansas is 6-foot-11 Aldrich missing a dunk.
"He tried to get crazy with the dunk," Self said. "He would have finished that if he just tried to dunk it normal, but he tried to get cute with that."
The freshman played a long and remarkable stretch for Good Kansas, though. The fourth man in Self's post rotation was pressed into extended first-half minutes because of foul trouble, and he responded with a "Psycho C" performance that outdid the national player of the year, Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbrough.
"He was the best player on the floor for three or four minutes," Self said.
In the first half, Aldrich had six points, six rebounds and three blocked shots -- all of which more than doubled his season averages -- for Good Kansas. He made a turnaround jumper. He followed a miss. He made free throws. He ripped rebounds away from Hansbrough, which happens approximately never.
"Cole was unbelievable," Self said. "He was as good an inside performer as we had tonight."
That's part of what makes Good Kansas so good. Good Kansas has an endless supply of guys who can play.
And Good Kansas has a guy in charge who can really coach. Williams was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, but Self owned their matchup Saturday night.
His team was so much better prepared to start the game that it was almost laughable. The Jayhawks' offensive execution was nearly perfect; they hit 13 of their first 17 shots from nearly every spot on the court. And if possible, their defense was better, aggressively doubling Hansbrough without fouling him.
Big picture, bottom line: This game should have ended the Roy Envy in Lawrence and across the state of Kansas. Self earned himself this moment in the sun, sans the shadow of his predecessor.
"There is no jealousy, no animosity between Coach Williams and myself, at least on this end," Self said.
His constituency should be over its hard feelings toward Ol' Roy now, too. It can move on magnanimously now that the team has moved on while Williams has gone home.
But if Green's 3 had dropped, the story line might have veered from celebration to devastation.

The numbers say the Great Recession ended way back in June 2009. Somebody needs to tell the economy that. Growth isn't accelerating as it normally would during a recovery. The U.S. economy in 2012 is expected to grow a scant 2 percent (unchanged from 2011). While 2 percent may keep us from dipping back into recession, it won't make much of a dent in unemployment. It follows, of course, that with more people out of work, fewer people will be buying, and thus the retail sector will decline.
Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of GDP, has been positive but shows no signs of driving a sustainable recovery. The economy will remain vulnerable to possible shocks, such as war, terrorism, oil price hikes, or natural disaster. Any one of these could tip the U.S. into recession.Retail sales are expected to grow about 10 percent in 2012, a slightly optimistic uptick from the 8 percent expected in 2011. One unpredictable factor that might lower 2012 sales is the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, which could keep markets volatile and consumers concerned about the future. Still, a reliable disconnect between consumer confidence and actual spending bodes well for retailers. Sales began to climb in October 2011, due in large part to a 3.7 percent jump in electronics sales (the largest monthly increase in two years) even as confidence fell to its lowest level since 2009.
If the euro crisis spins out of control, fear of a new credit crunch may deter spending by business owners. Another factor that could lower next year's forecast is slower-than-expected growth of personal income, which hasn't been keeping up with the rise in retail sales. If lower wages and high unemployment persist during the second half of the year, expect retail sales growth to slow even further.

There are lines of credit for business and each one of them needs to be properly considered. Credit for small business will be available in various options, checking the options and make the right decision is a must. Right now, some people hesitate to refinance mortgage loan or not.
Refinance is basically an option that can be applied by creditors who have adjustable-rate mortgage. It will change the mortgage into fixed-rate mortgage. There are several reasons of applying for this change in rates; one very obvious reason is to get the lower rates. Lines of credit for business can have the lower rates and the mortgage balance will be reduced. Changing the mortgage rates is beneficial but borrowers need to consider the right time of doing it. Checking the available mortgage rates every day will be needed prior to taking decision of refinancing or not.
For the time being, it is an excellent choice to refinance mortgage loan because the recent low mortgage rates although that the rates are slowly climbing up again. For now, the mortgage rates are still considerably low. Therefore, when the credit card small business wanted to be refinanced, this is a real good time. Considering the situation now, there will be more benefits those will be acquired considering the current low rates. Applying for refinancing will be good to be done as soon as possible because the mortgage rates are slowly climbing and one day the rates will remain in the higher state.

The amount of insurance rates that people have to pay on regular basis can be quite frustrating. You need health insurance to cover your family's medical expenses, car insurance which is a necessity if you want to drive it at the public road, home insurance to protect your hard to earn asset from any risk of danger, and many more.
Those examples of insurance are just the basic ones. There are still many other types of insurance which are actually purposed to protect you from sudden bankruptcy, but turn out to be very hard to pay with your limited amount of salary. If you don't have any other option but applying for the insurance, you can still save yourself from financial trouble by trying to get them at low premium.
Check your insurance score first in order to find out your eligibility. This score will determine whether if you will be charged with high premium or not. There is a chance to fix some flaws to help making your insurance score low. If you need to know about insurance more, you can check this site : http://www.esecapital.com/

On the determinant and the holonomy of equivariant elliptic operators
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information Abstract: Let M be a closed oriented smooth manifold, G a compact Lie group consisting of diffeomorphisms of a principal G-bundle with a connection and D a G-equivariant elliptic operator. Then a locally constant family of elliptic operators and its determinant line bundle over Z are naturally defined by D. Moreover the holonomy of the determinant line bundle is defined by the connection in P. In this note, we give an explicit formula to calculate the holonomy (Theorem 1.4) and give a proof of the Witten holonomy formula (Theorem 1.7) in the special case above.

Learning to Love What IS
1. Acceptance: take a good hard look at your situation with objective eyes. Acknowledge what's true and accept that you are in this situation so you can learn some kind of life lesson. With acceptance comes the possibility of loving what is.
2. Learn the lesson: whatever it is, it's to teach you to love yourself more. Whatever version, whether it's "I'm unworthy," "I'm unlovable," "nobody understands me" or something else, at it's core it's about learning to love yourself just as you are in this moment. Once we understand the lesson we can experience gratitude for the situation, even if it's negative or painful. We can begin to learn how to love what is, even if it's not what we might prefer.
3. Decide what someone who loved themselves more would do, and do that. For example, if you're overweight from eating unhealthy food, you might decide that if you loved yourself more, you would cook healthy foods instead. Alternatively, you might decide that if you loved yourself more, you would make time to exercise five days a week.
4. Commit to doing that thing for one day. And then commit again the next day, and the next. It sounds trite, but it really is important to take it one day at a time. If you lay out a big plan for how you're going to change your life, your ego will tell you all the reasons it won't work and will try to sabotage you again. If you try it for just one day, you'll find less resistance.
While you're working on this new strategy, you can remind yourself that you're learning how to love yourself more. You can focus on those things you already love about yourself, and express gratitude for their presence in your life. And you will find yourself, one day at a time, learning to love what is. Eventually, what is on the outside will be a beautiful reflection of the self-love you experience within.

Word of Life is an international organization with active ministry in over 60 countries and over 1,100 missionaries. Last year alone, over 160,000 people made professions of faith through the various ministries around the world. To God be the glory...great things He is doing!

My SupportEzra 7:10 - For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
About William Mac-BGod blessed me with a Christian mother, and I grew up having an idea of who Christ was, while attending a Catholic church since it was closer by home. I started going to bible clubs with Child Evangelism Fellowship and got saved every week since I didn't really understand the message of salvation. In 1990, I attended my first Word of Life camp and trusted Christ as my personal savior after I was taken through the Romans road and clearly understood the gospel and assurance of salvation. Five years later, I dedicated my life to Christ at the same Word of Life Camp.
Through the Camp Director, I started attending camps on Scholarships and grew spiritually over the years. After high school, I attended a Short Term Word of Life Bible School and started volunteering in the bible clubs ministry while doing my computer studies in college. I joined the staff of Word of Life Mombasa in 2004 as a bible clubs assistant and later became the Camp and Bible clubs coordinator. It was exciting for me to see the young people give their lives to Christ. In January 2008, God opened an opportunity for me to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute, and I have learned a lot.
The Lord laid in my heart a burden to reach the youth of the world with the truth of the Word that never changes. I am excited to see what the Lord is about to do through me in the ministry in Kenya, and Africa, as I continue reaching the youth with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Twitter Opens the Books, But Facebook's IPO Looked So Much Better
- Friday October 4, 2013
Twitter had as much time to bulk up for its IPO as Facebook. So why are its revenues, earnings, and user base so much weaker?
Twitter had as much time to bulk up for its IPO as Facebook. So why are its revenues, earnings, and user base so much weaker?
Twitter has announced, via Twitter, that it has filed the paperwork for its long-anticipated initial public offering.
If you were a consumer internet company, lousy would be one word to describe the IPO market in 2012. Just ask Facebook. Then again, if you were an enterprise technology outfit or a financial services firm going public this year, life was pretty good.
Shares of solar panel installer, sales and leasing company SolarCity (SCTY) had a stellar Nasdaq debut Thursday, climbing from $8 to end the day at $11.79, a 47 percent gain.
SolarCity prices its shares at $8, down from its original $13-$15 range.
After postponing its public market debut because of Superstorm Sandy (the irony of that can't go unmentioned), SolarCity is on the verge of an IPO. Seven months after filing its prospectus, the company has priced its IPO shares between $13 and $15, according to its SEC filing. The San Mateo-based solar-energy company is selling 10.07 […]
Expectations were high when Workday co-founders Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange this morning, marking the company's public debut. So far, it looks like they're being met.
You hit the IPO jackpot, but you're only 25 and don't trust guys in suits to tell you what to do with your money. Silicon Valley veteran Andy Rachleff's company, Wealthfront, has some advice: Let our software take care of it for you.
What did Trulia have, or do, that made it ideal for today's market? Three things: Its traffic keeps growing; it has plans to turn a profit; and it priced its shares just right. What's required to go public is always a moving target, but for this investing moment, Trulia nailed it.

Fmr. U.S. Security Advisor: 'Reasonable' That Pakistan Knew Bin Laden's Location
(CNSNews.com) – Former U.S. National Security Advisor retired General James Jones told CNSNews.com that it is "reasonable" to think that the Pakistani government at "some level" knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding.
"I don't want to add any fuel to the fire on that one. There definitely are some questions that have to be asked and answered by both sides and it is reasonable to think that there is a possibility at least at some level there was knowledge," he told CNSNews.com after his speech at a National Press Club luncheon on Monday.
"But I think we should sort out the intelligence, do the investigation with all of the materials that we have and sit down and have some very honest discussions with our Pakistani friends and see where it goes."
U.S. Navy Seals killed bin Laden during a raid of his compound in Abbottabad near Pakistan's military academy.
In his remarks at the National Press Club, Gen. Jones said Pakistan's actions have prolonged the U.S.-led war on terror.
"The undeniable fact is that since their deeply flawed decision to not put their army along the border with Afghanistan – this in 2006, thinking that the tribes would in exchange for the army not being present would patrol the border and prevent illegal crossings – Pakistan has become a selective safe haven for terrorists and terrorist leaders and this fact alone has resulted in prolonging the efforts in Afghanistan and continues to cause us and our allies to suffer many more casualties and to deplete our national treasure at a time when obviously we can ill afford to do so," he said.When asked if the U.S. should cut off all foreign aid to Pakistan, Gen. Jones said the U.S. should take a "longer view" in determining the "strategic importance" importance of the region.
"There are going to be some calls for that because it's a feel good thing, sometimes it's a knee jerk reaction. I think we should take a longer view in terms of the strategic importance of the region," he told CNSNews.com.
"But I do think it's fair to expect that as we have these discussions that Pakistan needs to make a decision as to what path it's going to take. You can't play both ends against the middle and you have to, for what is on the table for them, for their future, economically and otherwise, it's maybe my logic or an American logic but it's hard for us to understand why that wouldn't be to Pakistan's advantage but we'll just have to see what happens."

Client attrition report
A client attrition report will show you how many clients you're losing—and why. You can download it below in Related Links. Here's how to set it up. First, develop a protocol that requires team members to document all instances of clients requesting medical records for any reason. Use a simple form that lists the date, the client name, the reason for the request, and the name of the staff member who handled the request.
After documenting the information, the team member should alert the practice manager, who performs any needed follow-up with the client and classifies the client as inactive when appropriate.

Simple and original game, well suited for both adults and children; the goal of the game is to compose, using only the gravity force, all pieces of a picture that has been messed up. Pieces can be moved by tilting the iPhone (or iPod) up and down, trying to move them to their original position, being driven by the sketch that is visible in the background.
Pieces move according to physics laws, some colliding each other, some sliding each over the other.
Circular and quasi-circular pieces must be placed by approaching the center of the original circle; all other pieces can be "hooked-up" by moving a vertex (or some other point of the perimeter) close enough to its original position; after that, the piece can be easily rotated to the right position. All pieces moved to their correct positions stay fixed, unless you need to unblock them again.
This can be done by "double tapping" on the piece, gesture that can solve other situations when a piece is stuck or cannot be rotated to the right orientation for lack of space.
33 different pictures included, classified as easy, medium, hard. Many more will be added in the next versions. Look at the user guide for more information (www.geomago.com).

Superintendent finds his focus
Frossard honing WFISD
In the one month that John Frossard has been at the helm of the Wichita Falls Independent School District, the new superintendent has targeted one area for immediate improvement that was never mentioned or tweaked by former superintendents George Kazanas or Dawson Orr.
He'll streamline the district's downtown administrative office operations.
He already cut eight administrative budgets by a combined 32 percent for the next fiscal year in his first two weeks on the job. Now he'll re-structure the web of services provided at the downtown center.
"I'm seeing lots of (downtown) departments that operate in silos," Frossard said. "They may be very good at what they do, but there's not the necessary cross-communication that you need to be an effective organization."
The district already has a team of hard-working principals and teachers on the campuses, he said.
But every day they face a blizzard of uncoordinated demands from the district's central office that divert their attention from the day's most important duties with children, he said.
Tackling the administrative infrastructure, then, is the first step in his stated mission of creating a district that's so high achieving that it will be a national model.
To fix it, he'll create a portal, through which all approved announcements, directives and information will flow to principals.
Then he'll do the same for teachers.
He'll also create one principal meeting that will address any business pertaining to principals. "You don't call your own meeting. You get on the agenda at THIS meeting," Frossard said. "The goal is to not pull (principals) out of their school repeatedly. They're pulled in too many directions."
No longer will one administrator's whim suddenly become the newest priority for teachers. No longer will one staff member attend a conference and return with a new program to implement.
"We've got to re-examine our practices and make sure that we're making things easier for classroom teachers, not adding more burdens to them," Frossard said.
The focus of the past two superintendent administrations — a total of 10 years under Dawson Orr and then George Kazanas — was to consolidate duties among downtown Education Center staff as vacated spots went unfilled to save money.
"There have been additional duties for everyone," said Renae Murphy, public information officer under both administrations. "But streamlining them and making them more efficient? No. That hasn't been part of the equation."
Frossard told educators at the Back-to-School rally that all curriculum specialists would now spend 80 percent of their time in the classroom instead of at their desks in the Education Center.
He wants curriculum specialists, who oversee a specific subject area — such as math or science at all the secondary schools — to analyze all test data and identify the classrooms that need the most assistance, then visit the classrooms to help.
"We don't want to leave all of that on the schools (to figure out). That becomes one more thing they have to make time for — to meet and plan. We need to take some of that burden off them. That should be our role," Frossard said.
The curriculum specialists will also be in the classroom to verify the accuracy of teacher complaints about CSCOPE, the district's two-year-old curriculum. Some say they struggle to keep pace with the curriculum activities because what CSCOPE says will take 20 minutes actually takes longer, and they say they're falling behind.
"That's another reason to have curriculum people out in schools more often so they can help determine what is real and a problem for everybody, and what is isolated and a problem for a few," he said.
Frossard reviewed the district's goals that were adopted by board members but found none had specific, measurable objectives.
He will write a strategic plan that incorporates the goals, hook it to "goal champions" and make them accountable, he said.
By the spring, Frossard also wants school counselors to tap College Board tools to identify a new segment of secondary students who should be challenged with rigorous Advanced Placement classes. He also wants more students to take the PSAT test earlier than their junior year.
"We should not be selling anybody short, not making a bunch of assumptions of what our young people can and can't do," he said.
His main job in these early days of the school year is to build relationships with community leaders, parents and students.
Meanwhile, Frossard said he is investigating some of the district's oddities, such as why the elementary schools dismissed at 1 p.m. on the first day of school.
Frossard, whose son attends West Elementary, was unaware of the early dismissal on Monday until he toured an elementary campus that morning and saw a sign announcing it. He quickly called his wife to alert her.
"Early release on the first day? That's new," he said. "I'm sure we have our reasons. But we'll look at that more closely for future years."
