Many landlord tenant issues are legal matters and attorneys are great resorces. There is something called pre-paid legal. You pay monthly dues and basically can call an attorney without having to pay for their time. DUI's and Divorce do not apply. If you need leagle representation they offer you substantial discounts but still charge fees.
I do not sell their product but have purchased it since 1997. They have written up my will and revise it every year. They have given me lots of answers to tenant questions and looked over my lease.
Just thought some may want to know. Not trying to advertise as I don't sell but wanted to inform.
Well its not really free... I pay my monthly dues. Its like insurance.... You never know if you need an attorney.
The last time I was in any sort of trouble was fall of 1996 (speeding ticket) Since being a member in 1997 I have called them 15-20 times. My questions have been mostly about rental disputes. I was managing a upstairs condo for a friend and the association said I was breaking the rules by alowing a child to live on the second floor. It was even in their by-laws but I knew it was discrimination. They even had the attorney that drew up the rules call me direct. I argued with him and had my attorneys write them a letter. Last I heard on the issue.
The drawing up of a will and changing it as my life changes more than pays my dues.
In Europe its as common as car insurance here. I could care less if anyone gets it or not. Just wanted to inform people its out there.
Its also about the same cost as renters insurance. Next to nothing.

Here is a great piece by Ken French on the subject of active management fees: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1105775
The game of financial intermediation begins with framing. Consider how fees are framed by money managers: fees are expressed as a percentage of assets under management. Take an actively managed stock fund with an annual expenses on the order of 1.5% of assets under management (the so-called "expense ratio"). At first glance, this may not seem like a large number. Yet, if we scale such fees against a rate of return earned, they can appear dramatically higher. If your return is, say, 5% (and in a world of ultra-low yields that's not bad), then a 1.5% fee is a full 30% of the return generated. Intuitively, to us anyway, that seems like an excessive portion of what may be a generous estimate for near-term stock market returns. In fact, Wes mentioned to me a while ago that his retirement plan offered the PIMCO bond fund at 70 basis points for the fixed income option. The yield on the fund was around 100 basic points, which means 70% of the return was eaten by fees. Aye, carumba!
Taking a step back, what is it exactly that you are buying for this 1.5% fee? The answer, at least for most people, is that you are paying to outperform the market. But in order to even match the market, the active manager has to therefore outperform the market by 1.5%. Is that easy to do, or hard to do? Here's a back of the envelope perspective. A recent Morningstar study tracked 682 actively managed funds in the large cap, value/growth blend category over a 10-year period, and calculated the standard deviation of returns at 1.52%. This is practically identical to our typical 1.5% fee. This suggests that a fund must generate performance that is a full standard deviation above the mean in order to match the market, and the standard normal distribution suggests that about 84% of funds will fall below this threshold, meaning 16%, or about one out of six, will match or exceed this one-sigma figure. One out of six. Think about rolling a dice and coming up with a six. You never get one when you need it, right? So investors are paying this 1.5% fee in order to get exposure to this longshot 1 in 6 chance they will beat the market. That's just nuts. The vast majority of investors will lose this bet. But wait, it gets worse. We are just considering the expense ratio – we could also assess the effects of taxes, as well as trading commissions, which are not reflected in the expense ratio.
For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.
– Warren Buffett
French estimates that the average turnover of actively managed funds, based on total assets, is over 200%. Why are turnover rates so high? Perhaps the main reason is that managers believe they can beat the market by trading more often. Portfolio turnover is a subtle beast, as it destroys returns in two ways.
[From French's paper] The results are hypothetical results and are NOT an indicator of future results and do NOT represent returns that any investor actually attained. Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect management or trading fees, and one cannot invest directly in an index. Additional information regarding the construction of these results is available upon request.
First, there are taxes – federal, state, and local. Turnover generates a return-killing blend of long and short-term realized capital gains. It is safe to say that the average actively managed fund is highly tax inefficient, and the higher the rate of turnover, the greater the tax inefficiency. Second, all the trading involved while turning over the portfolio 2X per year also increases the costs of managing the fund through trading and transaction costs. The SEC does not currently require commissions to be factored into expense ratios, but the numbers can be comparable, with commissions/impact/spread costs totaling 100+ basis points per year, or more.Another related category of expense that can be reflected in commissions: the particularly odious "soft dollars," which involve hidden costs. Soft dollars are payments made by means other than the payment of "hard" dollars (cash). A quick example will make the point. Let's say your money manager wants five new Bloomberg terminals. One way for him to get them is to simply pay for them himself, out of the fees he is charging you. But we know he doesn't want to do that, since he would rather buy himself a Porsche. A second way is for him to pay for them, and expense them to you directly. But he doesn't like that option either, since you might object. Therefore another attractive way for him to proceed is to make an opaque soft dollar arrangement with his brokerage firm. It works like this. He says to the brokerage, "I will direct all of my trading to your firm over the next six months, if in return you let me use five of your Bloomberg terminals." The manager gets the Bloomberg terminals, and the broker gets a bunch of trading commissions that more than offset the cost of the terminals, and the investor loses--a Wall Street Love Story in the making.
Again, if the money manager pays cash, there is an entry on the books, and the manager has to either a) pay for the terminals himself, or b) disclose and expense them out to the investors. In this example, if the manger uses soft dollars, he can avoid disclosure, and simply pay by directing business to his broker or paying slightly higher commissions. The bottom line? The new Bloomberg expense gets buried in trading costs, and the investor foots the bill even though they can't directly see it.
Then there are sales charges, with initial, deferred and redemption fees, as well as penalties for not maintaining a minimum balance, or market timing. You couldn't dream this stuff up if you were a Hollywood writer. We could go on, but we are starting to feel ill talking about all these fees.
We look to a money management heavyweight, David Swenson, for a synopsis of the all-in effects of all these various fees:
A miniscule 4 percent of funds produce market-beating after-tax results with a scant 0.6 percent (annual) margin of gain. The 96 percent of funds that fail to meet or beat the Vanguard 500 Index Fund lose by a wealth-destroying margin of 4.8 percent per annum.
-David Swenson, CIO of the Yale University Endowment
We roughly approximated that perhaps 1 out of 6 funds could beat the market after a 1.5% management fee, but when we add the effects of taxes, commissions and other expenses, David Swenson estimates that ratio falls to perhaps 1 out of 25. Holy schnikes!
Still think fees aren't completely out of control, on average? We had our minds completely blown away by this recent news piece, which describes how many mutual funds are beginning to hold….wait for it…ETFs in their portfolios. Yes, you can now pay that 1.5% expense ratio for the privilege of having your fund manager pick for you the right ETF, which of course has its own separate fee, leaving you paying fees on fees. As an astute market observer puts it in the article: "It's just being lazy. Buy stocks. It's what people are paying you for."
At the end of the day, what sensible investors should seek are a few very simple things. Minimal expenses. High tax efficiency. Transparency. Intelligent investment process. It's not that hard. It is reasonably argued that mutual funds, in the aggregate, are a tremendous disservice to the investing public, because of the factors discussed above. Unfortunately, you as an investor are on your own to navigate your way through dangerous financial straits, and avoid the fees and turnover that can sink your ship. The task can be daunting, but knowledge goes a long way. Stick with Turnkey and we'll try and increase your knowledge base. Snake oil can be a great product, but we'd prefer you avoid it whenever possible.

I like the looks and body language of this bike. The Ritte Ace is taking over the road racing lineup, utilizing true one-piece monocoque construction, positive molding with a T700/T1000 Carbon Layup and integrated Di2 or mechanical cabling setups. Because bigger is better, the Ace will also fit 25mm – 28mm tires, depending on rim width and manufacturer's specs.
Not everything is new with the Ace, however. Ritte adopted the geometry from their Vlaanderen model for familiar handling. See more specs and photos below.

You can select any major you want if you're willing to take electives to meet medical school prerequisites. School requirements vary somewhat, but there's generally a strong emphasis on math and science. The Association of American Medical Colleges recommends one year each of biology, English and physics, and two years of chemistry, including organic chemistry.
The Best Majors for Admission to Medical School
There's no single major that will increase your chances of getting into medical school. Instead, admission is based on a variety of factors, most notably your grades and Medical College Admissions Test or MCAT score. You'll need to meet certain medical school prerequisites before you can enroll, but you can meet these requirements through a variety of majors.
The Piecemeal Approach
Natural Science Majors
Natural science majors in biology, physics, chemistry and similar fields are natural fits for medical school and can help you meet most medical school prerequisites. Data compiled by the American Institute of Physics, AIP, from the Association of American Medical Colleges, indicates that, as a group, physics majors applying to medical school in 2012 did better than most other majors applying in the same year on the MCAT. Students with science majors in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and neuroscience also excelled on the test.
Math Majors
A math major can make the dizzying array of numbers you encounter as a doctor make better sense. If you plan to do clinical research rather than practice as a physician, or if you plan to do both, a degree in statistics may be particularly helpful. If you opt for a math degree, make sure you take natural science courses to fulfill your premedical requirements. Math majors were also among the best performers on the MCAT in the 2012 list provided by AIP.
Health Majors
Premed majors scored toward the lower end of the MCAT, in the data AIP compiled, compared to students majoring in math and natural sciences. However, a major in a health-oriented field can help you determine whether life as a doctor can hold your interest. Majors such as nutrition, nursing, physical therapy, and sports and exercise science can give you real-world skills as well as ample preparation for medical school.

NBC has a great new reality show from the Kingpin of smallscreen veritas, Nigel Lythgoe.
"Superstars of Dance" features the crème de la crème the world over in a professional level competition that eschews audience and call-in voting, and opts for pros to weigh in on their peers. The show is hosted by Lord of the Dance, first-generation Irishman Michael Flatley of Chicago, who even excelled in boxing; Flatley was a Golden Gloves champ in Chi-town back in 1975.
Eight countries will participate in the competition with each team comprised of two soloists, one duo and one larger group. Viewers will get to know the competitors and the coaches through the trials and tribulations, both behind the scenes and on the stage. The stakes are high for these artists, as they are not only representing themselves, but also their dance form and their entire nation.
The eight countries currently scheduled to participate include: Ireland, India, USA, Argentina, China, Russia, South Africa and Australia.
Lythgoe is the man who gave us "Pop Idol" from which sprang its Yankee cousin, "American Idol." He knows something about dance, beginning as a hoofer in "The Young Generation" in 1968. He then became its choreographer in 1971 and proceeded to choreograph over 500 shows in the UK and Europe, working with such stars as Bing Crosby, Chita Rivera, Ben Vereen, Cyd Charisse, the Muppets, and the incredible Gene Kelly.
In 1989 he became a television producer/director and brought "American Gladiators" to the UK, which soon became a major success for London Weekend Television.
In 2000, he produced and became a judge on the British version of "Popstars." He was so tough with the contestants that the tabloid press named him "Nasty" Nigel. He was invited to join Simon Fuller's 19 Television as President in 2001 and develop Fuller's concept of "Idol." The show became an instant hit on British television and later around the world.
In 2007, a charity spin-off, "Idol Gives Back," raised $76M for charities both here and in Africa and won the Governors Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Lythgoe went on to co-create and executive produce "So You Think You Can Dance" where he returned in front of the cameras as a resident judge. The show has picked up three Emmys for its choreography and has taken Nigel around the world where he has spread the franchise in several countries.
"Superstars of Dance" premieres Sunday, January 4 from 9:00 to 11:00. NBC will air it again on Monday, January 5.
Monsters and Critics spoke to Superstars of Dance Nigel Lythgoe and host of "Superstars", Michael Flatley.
This show is dramatically different from the other dance shows in that you have masters, I understand, that – of their specific dance competing from different countries. Could you elaborate about that?
Nigel Lythgoe: Well I think with the shows that we know like Dancing With the Stars, that's a bunch of celebrities who would like to dance. My own show, So You Think You Can Dance is a bunch of kids who would like to be dancers.
And this is professionals that have been doing it, have made their living through it. A lot of them are world champions in their specific genre, and it's a lot of different cultures coming together.
I think that's what's the most exciting part of it for me.
What is the most dancing culture out there? What country celebrates dance the most in your opinion?
Nigel Lythgoe: Well in truth every country does. You know, if you look at their cultural background dancing really is everywhere whether it's running around in my own country with handkerchiefs and wooden sticks – which is probably why I haven't asked them to compete this year.
But Morris Dancing in England, has been going for hundreds of years. You go back to any culture and there's dancing there.
What I'm more amazed at having traveled the world looking at dance now thanks to So You Think You Can Dance, I've been down to South Africa and they have a thing called Pantsula which is developed there, which is extremely similar to hip-hop that sort of became from this streets here – it came from the streets here. So it's amazing to see how different cultures spawn similar versions with no connection.
What we're seeing here is a political statement through dance. We're seeing so many different things happening in the studios.
What is your personal favorite type of dance to watch?
Nigel Lythgoe: It's a difficult one. I love to watch ballroom. I trained in it as a kid. I'm not particularly great at it. I've always managed to tread on my wife's toes which is probably why she's divorcing me, actually.
Nigel Lythgoe: I think ballroom. I love when bodies come together and they work as one. At the same time, I watched a group last night of hip-hoppers and there's 12 of them. And they were brilliant.
There were so many different things going on you didn't know where to look. So anything that sort of opens my mouth and shocks me, I love too.
Nigel, can you tell us a little bit about the format of each episode?
Nigel Lythgoe: It's basically – if I give you an overall view, it'll probably show you how the format goes because the format does change. But the easy way to explain it is we have quarterfinals, semifinals and a final – exactly the same as any normal sort of sporting competition.
But each team has brought over their own group of dancers and people that can replace them as well; or replacement dancers in case we have any accidents. Again, like any sporting team you have reserves waiting there.
Each team has brought over two soloists that – who will compete, a duet that will compete and a group. And the shows, each time – there'll be the eight countries in each show.
So in some shows they'll put one soloist and one group. In another show they'll put a soloist and the duet. And this will break down and at the end of the day 16 soloists will have competed.
They will be broken down into the semifinals by getting rid of the bottom eight soloists. We lose two groups and two duets so that in the semifinals you will have three duets and three groups per semifinal.
So it's a very interesting competition literally and the most difficult thing, I would say, is judging the different styles against each other.
The judges and the judges from the eight countries as well, each judge votes from one to ten points. They are not allowed to vote for their own country.
So there will be an overall international Superstars of Dance trophy awarded to the country that gets the most points.
So it really is a tough competition with some of the best people in the world dancing and some of the best choreographers in the world judging.
Michael, what attracted you to this show?
Michael Flatley: Well when Nigel first approached me I was fascinated by the thought that we could have a dance show that has professional dancers on there and that would show to American audiences for the first time all of the different styles of dance from around the world.
And needless to say, it's being produced by the Dream Team, Nigel Lythgoe and Simon Fuller. And to me that meant that it was going to be done with a touch of class.
That was the only reason that I was prepared to do this type of television show.
Give us a couple of examples of things from other cultures in this show that just floored you.
Nigel Lythgoe: I think the Shaolin Monks from China amazed me. They're working with real swords. They're working with blades. One guy is actually hoisted up with the point of spears on his naked flesh.
And you go my god, I'm not sure it's really good dancing but wow. I think the Chinese team, in actual fact – I'm sure you agree, don't you Michael?
Michael Flatley: Yeah.
Nigel Lythgoe: I mean that ballerina that we saw yesterday.
Michael Flatley: Yeah, the young lady in the show that stands on point on her partner's head and and actually spins. Again, there's not an awful lot of dancing in it but what she does is really quite sensational and I must say it's a show-stopper.
Nigel Lythgoe: The Argentinean team with their boluses, that normally bring down animals when they're thrown are actually creating rhythms on the floor. But still, I'm still old-fashioned.
We've got a beautiful American lady called (Domisha), who is an absolutely sensational tap dancer and she dances to the typewriter, (music). And you just go wow, the intricate rhythms coming out of her feet are almost as good as Michael Flatley's.
Michael Flatley: Yeah, I think it's a really nice mix of cultures. When you see the precision of the Irish team and the speed at which they tap in unison, almost like an Irish Army.
And then you see the Groovaloos from America that just are all over the stage popping and jumping and hopping and spinning, and doing back flips – just a sensational mix. It's intoxicating.
Nigel Lythgoe: With that, we keep talking about the cultures coming together and how they get different styles. There's a thing here called stepping that the college students do where they slap their chests and their feet and everything.
And yet from South Africa we've got this South African troupe, the African Umoja that actually come out — again bare-chested in Wellington boots, gum boots as they're called — and they do this slapping/bashing routine with the gum boots and the sort of Coca-Cola tops tied in string around the bottom of their boots.
And this was done in the gold mines in South Africa hundreds of years ago. So, you know, all of a sudden these cultures develop exact – down the exact same lines without realizing it.
Have you named the judges yet?
Nigel Lythgoe: All the judges are here yes. I don't know quite a few of them. It's – the countries' teams have chosen a lot of them.
Tony Selznick. Harold van Buren is from South African. They're choreographers that have done everything in their own country really. So no, I don't think people will know them.
It was a bit like me bringing Simon Cowell to America. Nobody knew him.
How do you judge other cultures' dance?
Michael Flatley: Well I think that that's the exciting part of the while show. That's what makes it so entertaining because they have to judge dancers from other ethnic origins and other countries from around the world.
So for instance, you've got Master Wong who is the Grandmaster of the Shaolin Temple in China judging the Groovaloos from the streets here in America.
You've got (Maria Poji) from Argentina – world class and just a sensational dancer and choreographer critiquing the greatest Irish troupe in the world.
So it's the way other people see it, I think, that just makes for an intoxicating mix of cultures.
And we've already seen some that we think is – it's pretty sensational television. That's all I can say. I think people will be shocked when they hear some of their answers.
Nigel Lythgoe: And as we've said, a lot of these people are world champions. So you're actually taking the Argentinean Tango world champions and putting them up against a South African dancer who is showing every bit of her emotions in a political dance statement almost.
Michael Flatley: Yeah, making people – bringing people to tears.
Does each team have various dance genres within it?
Nigel Lythgoe: Various genres within it, yes. The Russian had their Cossack dancers. They had a beautiful ballroom dancer who did Don Quixote.
They've got a Russian contemporary dancer and a fantastic ballroom pair that did Latin American. So the Russians are heating up, I have to tell you.
Is this live?
Nigel Lythgoe: No there won't be a live component, no. It runs live because they are in competition.
Michael, given that you've had some judging experience are you just quite happy to be the host of this?
Michael Flatley: I am very happy to be the host and present it. Dance has always been my passion in life. Presenting a show like this, I think for me, is a real highlight.
Being able to represent all these different countries rather than just one of them, to present them to the United States for the first time in really such a classy way and such a colorful way is very exciting for me.
I must say I'm kind of glad I'm not judging because it's an intense competition – absolutely intense.
And I'm not allowed to speak about the scoreboard but it's on fire right now. You couldn't believe what's happening out there.
Nigel Lythgoe: And from my point of view if I may add on, and Michael this is saying it in front of you – Michael Flatley is, without question I think, the world's best known dancer. I mean the world.
And from my point of view to have him walk in there the minute these people are finished dancing — they're out of breath and trying to grab that live moment — it needs somebody who understands dance and understands all the different styles of dance.
And if they don't fully understand the history of the dance they can ask about it technically, but enough for us to understand it as viewers.
So from my point of view, Michael Flatley, thank goodness I got him. He is the best person I could ever have wished for. It's like getting a Christmas present early.
Michael, have you seen any forms of dance that you may like to branch out into from watching the show?
Michael Flatley: You know, there's not enough time left in my life to do them all but…
Nigel Lythgoe: He's been trying to stand on my head for the last two days.
Michael Flatley: Yeah, there's a lot of – they're so exciting. When the Africans came out, I was backstage slapping the boots with them and just trying to – because it's very percussive and I love the Africans.
I spent a lot of time dancing in Moscow and in Saint Petersburg. I feel like the Russians are half Irish. They're just really powerful people and they were trying to show me how to do some of their moves and their spins.
And I know some of the Cossacks personally. There are some forms of that dance I actually wouldn't even attempt trying myself to be honest. But it sure is fun to be around them all. It's a real rush and a real buzz.
I'm delighted America will finally get to see some of the dancers that they've never seen in their lives.
Nigel Lythgoe: And they all like their Vodka.
Michael Flatley: They do. (Why not)?

The rest of the driveway is asphalt. Quotes I have recieved are very high and was wondering is there anything I can do to pave this area...
DP149 - I'm not sure you can get the proper equipment to mix up and lay asphalt at a rental center...we're talking heated tar, a sufficient sized steamroller, etc., aren't we? Are the prices you're being quoted prices for doing the entire driveway, or just the last 10-12 feet or so? (I'm thinking there'd have to be a small overlap of the old and new asphalt...)
As a disclaimer and self-defense, I've never done asphalt work and I've only helped on some concrete DIY jobs...others may be better-informed and hopefully will enlighten us on this matter. Good luck! Jim D/Heathsville, VA
Is there any reason you wouldn't want to simply pour concrete for that last 10 feet or so? You can get the mixer for that job easily enough, plus you're not heating anything toxic like tar. (Maybe there's concrete already under the asphalt, so pouring a small section wouldn't create headaches...)
As a disclaimer and self-defense, I've never done asphalt work and I've only helped on some concrete DIY jobs...others may be better-informed and hopefully will enlighten us on this matter. Good luck! Jim D/Heathsville, VA
Asphalt paving really isn't a DIY type project unless you're in the business. The suggestion above of using a different material for this unpaved area, one that is more of a DIY type like concrete or stone or brick or.... is one option. Another is to ask around and see if anyone else in the neighborhood is having a driveway built or rebuilt. Part of the reason the estimates you're getting are high may be due to the contractors necessary mobilization to get everything out to your place to do such a small job. If someone else is having a driveway installed, the contractor may have extra material and, as he's already in the neighborhood, may be able to stop by and do the job for less.

I don't know how do-able it is. I tried paving an area of our driveway once and it didn't work out well for me. I ended up just having to hire a company to do it for me. You might save yourself time and money by hiring out someone first. You can call around to get quotes and see which works best for your budget.

NASA is sending Google smartphones to the International Space Station as the next step in pursuing the agency's goal of having robots assist astronauts in space.
The two phones, equipped with 3D sensing technology, are scheduled to be launched July 12 and will be attached to Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) on the ISS.
NASA has been using the SPHERES since 2006 for relatively minor activities such as docking maneuvers and free-flying algorithm tests. But the agency has bigger plans for the bowling ball-sized spherical satellites, which can be guided around the space station's interior at about an inch per second. Officials want the satellites to be able to perform tasks and sense their surroundings. And all the capabilities NASA wanted could be found in a smartphone.
In July 2011, NASA sent up Google Nexus S phones, which were the state-of-the-art Android phones at the time, and used them to establish remote control of the SPHERES so the crew on the ISS and back at the Johnson Space Center in Houston could control them.
The SPHERES with the Nexus phones have only been operating in a two-square-meter area on the ISS. That's where the latest Google smartphone comes in.
The Project Tango smartphone -- not yet available to the public and no word on when it will be -- has 3D sensing capabilities and a wide-angle camera that can detect surrounding features.
Chris Provencher, NASA's Smart SPHERES project manager, described it as a phone that knows exactly how much it is moving when it moves -- "a GPS without the GPS."
"It didn't make any sense to reinvent the wheel," he added. "Instead of trying to do it ourselves, we decided to leverage the existing smartphone capabilities."
NASA will run two tests with the Google phones. First, someone on the ISS will take a phone through the entire space station to build a 3D map. Once that is done, a second test will use the phones to tell the SPHERES where to fly.
The first mapping activity is tentatively scheduled for early August, and the demo will happen about one month later, Provencher said.
In preparation, the team has been adapting the phone for use in space. Even seemingly simple tasks, such as the screen rotation tilt controlled by the phone's orientation, are affected by zero gravity.
To tackle those challenges, Google and NASA signed a Space Act agreement, which gives companies a way to partner with the agency and for NASA to get its hands on new technology.
"We talked to them about the progress of our work," Provencher said. "Sometimes things could be fixed in the software that Google has provided, and sometimes we have to go off and fix it ourselves."
Eventually, NASA officials hope the SPHERES will reduce the amount of housekeeping tasks astronauts have to perform, such as measuring air and sound quality in the ISS, and allow them to spend more time on mission-focused tasks, Provencher said.

Pegasystems Receives "Outstanding" Rating in New Gartner Report on Case Management
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Report evaluates 11 vendors against 11 critical capabilities and four use cases.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – February 26, 2014 – Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA) today announced that it has received the highest possible rating given of "Outstanding" in Gartner Inc.'s research "Critical Capabilities for Case Management." Pegasystems was identified as such out of an evaluation of 11 BPM and iBPMs vendors included in the report.
The "Outstanding" description, according to Gartner, is their "assessment of the vendor's strategy, and its ability to enhance and support a product throughout its expected life cycle" and covers the four major areas of strategy, support, execution and investment.1
The vendor comparison by Gartner analysts Janelle B. Hill, Kenneth Chin, and Rob Dunie asserts that "Case management frameworks built on BPM suites offer an alternative to specialty applications and custom coding to help solution architects and business process directors implement case management solutions." 1 The analysts go on to state that compared with commercial off the shelf software (COTS) applications, case management frameworks (CMFs) "built on a business process management suite (BPMS) are easier to change and extend by altering visual metadata via models."1
"We completely agree that case management is helping to mature how people think about and use BPM," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of Pegasystems. "Case management allows you to do a better job of engaging customers across channels, and as long as need be, indeed many customer journeys can last more than one lifetime. Most business people are instinctively much more comfortable engaging with our system using the case models and metaphors than they are in learning specialized process modeling notation. Because we feel they closely mirror what we do with clients, we were also very pleased to get high scores across all the use cases Gartner references, including workflow-heavy service request, data-heavy investigative, collaboration-heavy incident, and rules-heavy process to decision use cases."

Lt. Governor Simon joins Shedd in beach cleanup
Picks up trash at 12th Street Beach on It's Our River Day
CHICAGO – September 17, 2011. A champion for safe, clean and accessible rivers, Lt. Governor Sheila Simon joined the Shedd Aquarium's Great Lakes Conservation Team in a cleanup of 12th Street Beach today. The cleanup was part of It's Our River Day.
Established in 2004, It's Our River Day is an annual celebration of Illinois rivers and the defining role they play in communities across the state. It's Our River Day events include river cleanups, canoe and kayaking trips, education booths at festivals, fundraisers, and recycling days. This year more than 30 events were held throughout Illinois.
"Rivers and lakes shape our geography, economy and community identities," Simon said. "I am proud to join the Shedd Aquarium in its efforts to keep our environment clean and look forward to working with its members to solve the pressing issues facing our waterways."
Simon joined over 50 volunteers who combed the beach for three hours removing trash and recyclables. Last year, Shedd volunteers collected over 650 pounds of garbage and recycling during monthly clean ups, which included over 2,100 cigarette butts.
"It's an incredible honor to be working alongside Lt. Governor Simon, who is well known for her role as a champion for water conservation and a leader who shares Shedd's vision to protect our local waters," said Allen LaPointe, the Vice President of Environmental Quality at Shedd Aquarium, who was appointed to Simon's Science Advisory Committee this week. "Water is at the heart of Shedd Aquarium, so protecting this majestic resource that people and wildlife depend on goes beyond our aquarium walls. This Saturday, we put our messages of water conservation into action by picking up the 12th Street Beach to celebrate It's Our Rivers Day."
Simon serves as chair of the Illinois, Mississippi and Wabash and Ohio River Coordinating Councils. The councils are charged with reviewing state and federal programs that impact the watersheds and work with local communities to raise awareness of and address watershed issues.
The cleanup was also a part of International Coastal Cleanup Day hosted annually by the Ocean Conservancy and includes events across the globe. The Ocean Conservancy tracks the trash collected to understand what manufactured items are impacting the health of humans and wildlife.

Recently I had a twitter conversation with @DatAfricanGirl about the Dj Khaled video "Hold You Down." Specifically the part of the video where he says to the video vixen "say my name baby" and tells her if she says it he will give her money to "go buy your momma a house." If you can't see where I am going with this then all hope is lost!
This video is offensive and an example of the "situation-ship" or "relationships" that are all too common in Zambia. A young girl or perhaps even a grown woman gets involved with a man because he can financially provide for her, that story is as old as time. The danger is when the man uses this financial control as form of emotional abuse, making the woman do demeaning things in order to get it.
Before I get ahead of myself let us start with the tweet that @DatAfricanGirl tweeted that sparked our conversation:
Now I have to agree with the idea that this girl is playing along with his ownership fetish can definitely lead to dangerous situations. A woman who allows herself to be treated like a piece of property or who is with a man for financial means and status is a woman asking for trouble. This man is not forced to love you or respect and cherish you because you are both playing a game. He knows he can talk down to you, demean you in public, dress you like his personal barbie doll all because you have agreed to fall in line with his fetish.
As a grown man who probably has sister and maybe a wife or girlfriend and a daughter you would think Dj Khaled would be aware of the message that short clip was sending. This is a grown man living in an industry that demeans and degrades women openly, surely in 2014 he knows the message he is sending is wrong.
That struck a chord with me, "selling ones liberty" this rings true because you are selling your own free will when you put yourself in such a position or allow a man to put you in that position. A liberty that was fought for by your ancestors be they slaves or be they colonized Africans, ownership over thyself no less! To wrap up our twitter conversation @DatAfricanGirl made the following beautiful point:
Yes! Dear women please stop seeking validation from others, learn to love yourselves above all else and only then will men value you.

Saint Louis, Wisconsin headline 2013 Cancun Challenge field
May 23, 2013, 8:00 PM EDT
The eight-team field for the 2013 Cancun Challenge is finally set, with 2013 NCAA tournament participants Saint Louis and Wisconsin headlining the field.
The event will feature two four-team fields, with the Billikens and Badgers being joined by Old Dominion and West Virginia in the Riviera Division.
The Mayan Division bracket consists of Bowling Green, Georgia Southern, Oral Roberts and Presbyterian. The two brackets will play games in Cancun on November 26 and 27.
"We're excited about this year's field which will be one of the most competitive since the tournament's inception in 2008," Cancun Challenge director Brent Amick said in the release.
"This is a special event for teams and fans and is played in an incredible ocean-front setting in Mexico. Fans making the trip down to cheer on their school will be able to watch great competition while enjoy the warm climate and beautiful beaches of the Riviera Maya."
Prior to playing two games in Mexico the participating teams will plays games November 21 and 23. Riviera Division teams will host Mayan Division teams in match-ups that have yet to be determined on those dates.
Of the eight participants Saint Louis (28-7) was the most successful in 2012-13, winning the Atlantic 10 regular season and tournament titles before falling to Oregon in the third round of the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin finished the 2012-13 season with a record of 24-12, losing to Ole Miss in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Both Old Dominion and West Virginia will look to rebound from disappointing seasons in 2013-14, with the Monarchs playing their first season under new head coach Jeff Jones and the Mountaineers embarking on their second year as a member of the Big 12.
Last year's winner of the Riviera Division of the Challenge was Wichita State, which ultimately reached the Final Four before losing to eventual national champion Louisville.

Born and raised in New Jersey, I've been in the Amherst area for about a year now for graduate work at UMass. I'm a sucker for a good book and lounging on the beach (Jersey Shore preferable!). You can usually find me with a coffee in my hand, ready to take on the day.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Ordering take out, watching my "shows" from the week, contemplating cleaning my apartment, and occasionally glancing at a pile of books begging to be read for class.
