Sunlight is the best way to disinfect investment bank conflicts
Blog Entry:

Jones Day
Sell-side boards take note: Recent post-financial crisis decisions from the Delaware Chancery Court are critically reviewing the actions of investment banks during M&A transactions. Those actions can have consequences that affect not only the deal, but the liability of both the bank and the seller's board of directors.
This atmosphere of scrutiny is born predominantly of three cases decided by the Delaware Chancery Court since 2011. Most recently, on March 7, 2014, the court ruled that a seller's investment bank may be liable to the selling company's shareholders for the bank's conduct during the sale process. That case, along with two prior cases from 2011 and 2012, reveals the making of a trend.
Case: In re Del Monte Foods Co. Shareholders Litigation, 2011
Bank conflicts: Bank provided staple financing to a buyer group before asking approval from the seller's board; bank induced two members of the buyer group to coordinate bid efforts in violation of preexisting confidentiality agreements.
Ruling: The court held that the bank "secretly and selfishly manipulated the sale process." The court found no liability against the bank, but the deal was frozen for 20 days and the shareholders were awarded $2.75 million in legal fees.
Case: In re El Paso Corp. Shareholders Litigation, 2012
Bank conflicts: Bank served as the primary investment bank to the seller, but also owned 19% of the buyer and controlled two of its board seats; bank tried to cure conflict by bringing in another bank on the sale, but that bank's compensation was made conditional on the sale of the target to the conflicted buyer; bank failed to perform any market checks on the sale; bank convinced the seller board to give in almost entirely to the negotiating threats of the buyer, which the investment bank partially controlled.
Ruling: The court refused to stop the sale because it would only further injure the shareholders, but held that the investment bank could have liability to the seller's shareholders.
Case: In re Rural Metro Corp. Shareholders Litigation, 2014
Bank conflicts: Bank acted outside the scope of its authorization from the seller's board by actively seeking buyers before authorized; bank allowed its desire to participate in the future financing of a larger deal in the same industry to warp how it approached the current deal; bank failed to disclose to the seller's board that it was seeking to provide financing to the buyer.
Ruling: The court's 2012 threat of possible investment bank liability came to fruition. It held that the bank was liable to the seller's shareholders for "aiding and abetting" fiduciary duty breaches by the seller's board of directors by distorting the sale process and inducing the board to make the sale without sufficient information.
As seen in these cases, investment banker conflicts may arise from any number of deal-specific situations, and the breadth of conflict situations the Chancery Court seems willing to recognize is not shrinking. The takeaway? If a seller's investment bank has conflicts of interests with the seller, those conflicts must be disclosed to, and then managed by, the seller's board. This can potentially avoid tainting the deal process and also prevent a shareholder litigation ax from falling on not only the board, but the bank too.
How can boards protect their deal processes from the potential consequences of this increased scrutiny? A deliberate, orderly and fully informed sale process is the best defense. Conflict waivers given to the seller's investment bank must be informed, and should require that potential conflicts and motivations be specifically disclosed. Boards also should ensure that the bank is acting only within its board-authorized mandate, and establish appropriate ethical walls.
To ensure effective board oversight, directors must do what is necessary to stay informed and place meaningful restrictions on an investment bank's behavior. Courts may deem a failure to seek out information about potential conflicts, or monitor the banker's conduct, to be breaches of the directors' fiduciary duties, even in cases where that information has been hidden from the directors.
As for the banks, sell-side advisers may find themselves increasingly targeted by shareholder litigation for their actions during deal processes, and, after the latest case, it appears the exculpatory provisions in their engagement letters or clients' charters may not protect them from liability. A full disclosure of conflicts may allow sell-side banks to escape aiding and abetting claims brought by shareholders against the investment bank, especially when the shareholders cannot win an award against exculpated individual directors. Additionally, these increased risks and disclosure requirements may cause some investment banks to rethink the strategy of providing staple financing to buyers.
For investment bankers and sellers alike, the increase in judicial scrutiny can be discouraging. It appears that the Delaware Chancery Court will allow shareholder plaintiffs to search every corner of the deal process to pin liability on the board, the bank or both. But, to paraphrase former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Open disclosure of banker conflicts, along with the presence of appropriate safeguards, can serve to protect both parties during — and after — the deal process, should litigants seek liability from the seller board and its investment bank adviser.

How to play:
It's simple, really. Look at the sports-related pictures above, and give us your funniest caption for any or all of them. You can write as many captions for each as you would like.
The challenge runs daily, Monday-Thursday. Each day's competition will usually be posted by noon ET, and will usually end around 11 p.m. ET. On Monday and Wednesday, Community member ktopp24 will be the judge. On Tuesday and Thursday, I'll run the show. If one of the judges decide that your caption is the funniest or most clever submitted for that picture, it will be declared a winner.
Winning captions will be announced when that day's challenge ends. There will be one winner for each picture, and also one winner for the person who can string together the 5 best captions all with the same theme.
You will be awarded one point for each winning caption that you post. You will see a running tally on the scoreboard, which will be posted at the beginning and end of each day. At the end of each month a champion is declared, and we shower that user in praise and adulation! We add his screenname to the Wall-O-Fame, and then we start everyone's score back at zero.
This is just for fun, and there are no real prizes at this time. Who thinks they can make us laugh? :)

Products > Viral_Transduction > Lentiviral_Transduction_Tools > Lentivirus_Titration > Copy_Number
The Lenti-X Provirus Quantitation Kit allows you to rapidly determine the copy number of integrated lentiviruses (proviruses) present in a mixed or clonal population of transduced cells. The kit includes a genomic DNA purification kit, and all the reagents required to conduct 200 SYBR® Green-based qPCR reactions using either the calibrated control template or purified cellular genomic DNA.
By quantifying the number of lentiviruses that have integrated into the nuclear DNA of your target cells, you can precisely determine the real titer (i.e., effective titer) of your lentiviral supernatant stock and use this information to infect cells with greater precision and more highly defined MOI (multiplicity of infection), allowing you to predict how many viral genomes will integrate into your cells. You can also use this method to calibrate other titration methods which measure virus content in packaging cell supernatants but do not measure functional integrative titers in your target cells.
When using lentiviral vectors to deliver transgenes into target cells, expression levels increase with increasing MOI because more lentivirus copies integrate into the nuclear DNA of the cells. Also, for a given virus prep, its effective MOI across different target cell lines can vary widely depending on each cell line's individual susceptibility to lentivirus infection. The Lenti-X Provirus Quantitation Kit allows you to assess the results of your transductions in any cell line, independent of expression level, and can be used to ensure consistent transductions across different cell lines or when using different virus preparations.

Can we buy him off with Christmas cookies?
Put itchy dust in Grover's panties then. I want him to play dumb, and conservative leaders have a taste for playing Dorothy. Three decades of evangelicals working to gain political influence and what we get are people that believe in spontaneous generation and celestial cheese.
A Grover, from the verb -to grove related to the verb grovel. As in what GOP dummies do, thinking it will get them elected.
Grover Norquist.
A never elected, male Sarah Palin?
If people want to vote for someone who will represent Norquist's interests and not their state's or own interest, that's their call.
With a BA and MBA from Harvard, worked as an economist and speechwriter, married to a Muslim, and sits on the board of a gay rights group. But yeah, otherwise just like Palin.
Yes this article is about 'Grover' -- everyone seems to be on a first name basis with the idiot. But still one wonders why...
As a lifelong sycophant for the rich, Norquist hasn't contributed a red cent to the US economy, added a single job or grown a single productive company. So one wonders why he's so well known ... Here's a good quote attributed to him '"When I became 21, I decided that nobody learned anything about politics after the age of 21." No life-long learning here is there?
This goes a long way to answer the question why -- this puts him squarely in the Republican know-nothing camp (along with the 47% ers, birthers, southern racists, and creationist nutcakes). He has made a living by closing his eyes to reality and screaming as loud as he can a single nonsense message. Too bad the reality wing of the Republican party (including the latest loosing Pres. candidate) have to cow-tow to these nutcakes if they want to try to get elected to anything. The American people deserve better reasoning than his, they deserve more patriotic people to rise up and oppose these well-funded nuts (like his buddy Rove, last name basis for him!) and the Republican party will always struggle as long as they embrace these unpatriotic ideologies.
Like all the other Communist sleeper agents who have taken over the Republican party, he wants to permanently discredit capitalism.
Yes, the right-wing equivalent of the Bolsheviks. They believe in an ideology as divine truth and will warp all reality to fit their truth regardless of the suffering or harm to others.
Did I miss something or does this post really have nothing at all to do with Norquist? He's not quoted. It seems like his name is used as short-hand for "anti-tax primary challenge" though I'm not sure why. Is there any reason to believe he'll support a primary challenger even if Chambliss doesn't actually vote for a tax increase? BTW, Norquist said that last year's vote to end ethanol subsidies violated the pledge but he was universally ignored and he didn't do anything about it.
"It seems like his name is used as short-hand for "anti-tax[...""
Because it is, and not just by this paper.
"Because it is paper."
You make no sense when I omit critical words from your comment like you did when quoting from my comment.
You may have missed this sentence fragment:
yet he may find himself in Mr Norquist's crosshairs.
But, yes, that was the extent of the elaboration on Norquist's role in any potential primary challenge.
"As for Mr Norquist, if he finds rebellion hard to stomach now, just wait until he delivers a Senate seat into Democratic hands."
- - - - -
Through his contribution to turning the GOP into the travelling insane asylum it is, he almost certainly already has, and probably more than one.
At least 3 in the past 3 years. And, as you say, probably more.
Sometimes, I wonder if a serious Machiavellian among the Democrats isn't funding people like Norquist. Just to cause more extreme crazies to get nominated by the Republicans, and so make it easier to elect more Democrats.
"lies straight from the pit of hell"
That's true when it comes to how much the college says I owe 'em.
I'd ask for a refund. The accounting dept is not classified under the sciences.
Of course Grover Norquist's main goal is to stay relevant, just like a senator's main goal is to be re-elected. Mr. Norquist's got to eat just like the rest of us, and I don't certainly appreciate people trying to make my job irrelevant.
Besides what is a burned out lobbyist going to do? Start a rent-a-grassroots operation like Ralph Reed?
Shrink, baby, shrink. The ideologically purest party is a party of one. Bobby Jindal must be weeping in frustration.
The article suggests that Saxby Chambliss is a reasonable sort of fellow, while in truth it's scary that he's in a position to influence economic policy in the US.
I was expecting to read that he defended rape or something. I guess you scary easily.
Yeah, I'm scared of another recession and even more long term unemployment that could well result from policies supported by Sen. Chambliss and his ilk.
I have a son graduating college in a few years, and I want there to be a reasonable job market for him at that time so he can get started on a career path.
Sorry you think my concern is so trivial
Hmm... but Obama's austerity proposal doesn't scare you?
Sure, the fact that Mr. Obama signed on to the notion that we have a debt crisis, rather than an employment crisis, has been a big disappointment.
So I'm not happy about his budget proposal - definitely not enough stimulus being offered - but at least it's not as destructive as the GOP proposals are.
Yes, I'd like to see a more rapid recovery to take us where GDP would have been on the pre-crash trajectory, but there is some growth now. And yes, the thought of reversing that growth and falling back into recession scares me. If that means I scare easily - well, okay, I scare easily.
And the downward spiral in which ideological purity trumps all other factors continues. I'm looking forward to the day in which political contests devolve to nothing more than who can grunt the loudest, as any single word uttered may offend some critical interest group.
Plus, everyone knows that vocalized language is elitist.
I look forward to the day that ideological purity can be drowned in the bath tub.
Since 1995 the GOP has been an abomination; just right for the ridiculous Norquist. But the Yahoo extremes of the Republican Party have just about run their course. I look forward to a time, not far off, when I can in good conscience vote for a Republican again.
I look forward to a time, not far off, when I can in good conscience vote for a Republican again.
Well, that's something that the democratic party is accomplishing.
Not quite. If only because the yahoos will continue to be yahoos for a quite a while. There will not be a swift change. By swift I mean commensurate with the pace the world is changing.
He should grow his beard back.
ha. Club for growth?
Ha yourself.
I think America needs "the little man on the wedding cake". As Presidents go, I prefer the mustachioed.
I think the key to Norquists demise is in his own rhetoric. He stands by the pledge as, not to him, but to the American people. This should give republicans plenty of room (and apparently does, although at the expense of Norquist) to maneuver in the current political climate. What interests me is the idea that money doesn't change politics, until Norquist threatens a primary challenge.
Technically, that would be delivering a Senate seat into Democratic cheeks.
Or more precisely, delivering Democratic cheeks into a senate seat
Inappropriately, those would be called Ass cheeks.

Jo Ann T.Kingwood, TexasHairGreyNormal HairThis Is A JokeThis curling brush has to be the worst one I have ever owned. When you are trying to curl you hair around them the barrel turns and you can't curl you hair around it. I have bought about 6 in the last 7 months and have had to throw them out. They are a big waste of money and not worth the shipping cost. They are the biggest dud I have ever purchased. I'm hoping the Helen of Troy is better.posted May 30, 2014Link to this post
Ruthhopp H.United StatesHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairFalling BrushesI've puirchased this brush for many years and all was well. BUT recently I've purchased some and the brushes keep falling out. I've never had this before but the last 2 i've purchased it is happening. Very dangerous as well. I too threw away the boxes so I could not return it to Sally's where I purchased them. I called Belson and the gentleman I spoke to said he had never heard of that and there was nothing he could do about it.

Nancy C.United StatesHairGreyNormal HairDoesn't LastThis brand of curling irons have lasted more than a day or a few weeks as the past reviews have stated.
I use my iron everyday and they have lasted not quite a year. As the past reviewers have said the teeth portions come out of the iron. The top black cap starts to move and the teeth fall out. :(
There aren't many of these curling irons left because the younger crowd wants the different types that are available. I like this brand but wish they would last longer than a year. One year is really overstating the fact. It's like six months and it starts to fall apart. I just bought another one of these irons today. Only because I can't find any other brands of irons like this type.
The last iron that I just threw away, the cord separated and after heating ithe iron, when I picked it up the SPARKS flew all over the bathroom.... Luckily I had my old one iron in reserve, which the teeth were falling out. :(
Please, I love the iron. Make the top cap secure so it doesn't spin and the teeth fall out!!!!!!!! We would be happy to pay a few dollars more to have a better iron....
Thank Youposted Apr 10, 2013Link to this post -
Connie L.Augusta, MEHairMedium BrownNormal HairRelaxed HairFell Apart After Only 2-3 UsesThis was purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply but after using it for only 1 week, the inside metal portion of the barrel came apart within the black plastic handle, which means I wasn't able to apply any force with my wrist as I was styling my hair. Also, every time I used it, the black plastic strips (i.e. the teeth) that slid into the top metal portion of the curling brush kept falling out of the brush and I would find one on my bathroom floor. As Belson did not include a screw within the center of the black plastic tip (like my other curling brush had), there was no way to tighten the tip in a way where the 'teeth' would not line up within the metal grooves of the iron, thus creating the strips to slide out of the metal grooves. About a week after I had it, I returned it to the store for a credit but I've not been able to find another half-inch curling brush anywhere. The only other similar curling brush I can find online in 'half inch size' is made by Helen of Troy but I'm not happy with those reviews as this manufacturer placed the on/off button in the center of the handle and therefore the curling brush turns itself off as customers are holding onto the handle of the brush. As I was unable to find another 1/2" size curling brush anywhere, I bought the 3/4" curling brush made by Conair Instant Heat, and although the construction of this curling brush, the 3/4" sze is simply too big for my short hair. If only more manufacturers would make a curling brush in the 1/2 size, I would be a much happier customer.posted Feb 18, 2013Link to this post
Denise C.Baltimore, MarylandHairGreyFine or Thin HairJust What We Needed!It is nearly impossible to find 1/2" curling irons. I do not like the ones without a brush, so when I saw the Belson 1/2" Professional Dual-Heat Brush Iron, I jumped on it! My 87 year old mom lives with us and I wash and curl her hair at least once a week. When I am finished with her hair, she looks like she's been to the beauty parlor; the results are so professional looking! Family members are very impressed and my mom tells me I should have been a beautician! I owe the credit to this curling iron. My sister uses the same size. She knows they are hard to find, so before I ordered, I asked her if she wanted me to get a "spare" for her. She declined. Then she used the Belson one day and she's been bugging me ever since, to get one for her, and a spare!posted Jan 10, 2013Link to this post

Carol T.Not Good At All!This curling iron never worked. When I received it I opened the box, put the iron in the bathroom for use the next day. Then I threw away the boxs. Big mistake!

There comes a day in every dad's life when he has to take a deep breath, trust that he's made a difference, and let his child carry on without him. And then occasionally send his child a few bucks when things get tight. Today is that day for Woot's Big Daddy, the man who dared to ask "who says trolling isn't an effective business model?": our founder Matt Rutledge announced today that he's moving on.
Matt's gleeful anarchy is splashed all over Woot's DNA. Few companies can boast a leader who would say things like "this product copy isn't weird enough" or "I feel like I should approve this request to rent a chimpanzee without asking any more questions." Almost no CEOs would give his weirdo copywriters free rein to write all kinds of craziness under his byline, or sustain a gruesome dunk-tank injury and let us show it in a video. And the world has Matt to thank for making "crap" a borderline-acceptable ecommerce term.
Yes, Matt infused his snotty exuberance and aversion to BS into Woot so well, there's no turning back now. Woot couldn't be a typical, dull company if we tried. We're damaged beyond repair. We never had a chance to be normal, and it's all Matt's fault.
Whatever Matt does next, we're sure it will stir up some crap and make us all ask "Can he really get away with that?" As for Woot, we'll rest a little easier knowing that the next soda can we open won't have been shaken up by Matt beforehand. And while it would be overstating the case to say we'll miss assisting Matt's axe-throwing demonstrations, the fact remains that he's never hit one of us yet.
Thanks, Matt, and rest in peace. (By which we mean, enjoy those six weeks resting in peaceful Orlando! And can you bring us back one of those googly-eyed seashell monsters? It'll look great on the trophy wall.) Just remember, watch yourself in the forums. We can put you on probation now.
In commemoration, I'm pouring a little whiskey onto the floor from my desk-drawer stash. Not too much, though. I NEED that stuff.
Wondering if he'll keep his username or come back incognito.
So this is why woot crashed last night... Thanks for woot.

You da man Matt. Thanks for your genius. Hopefully, we'll hear about your next venture. I'm sure it will be another wild ride. From a loyal Wooter.

Ditto. Please be sure to let us know what wagon you've hitched to so we may hitch to yours.
I never knew him personally but he created something we all love, and for that, I love him. We will miss you, Mr. Rutledge. I say at 8 pm Woot time tonight, we all shoot off a screaming monkey in salute.
if amazon did this to my site I would leave too... just sayin'. Tell us all where you are going and we will follow.

Snapster, if you start up something new, don't forget to invite us over!

Awesome sendoff
Noooo! Glad to see though that you guys gave him a flying monkey send off though. I hope that Snapster invites us all to his next project, whatever it may be.
Hmph. In my opinion, there should have been a Basket of Crayfish at midnight tonight.
That. Was. Epic.

O Craptain! My Craptain!
Thanks for envisioning and creating Woot, Snapster. It has brought many of us lots of fun (and also brought us many purchases, whether necessary or not, but sold to us at a very good price!) Good luck to you in the future. I'm sure additional significant achievement is in your future.
SESteve wrote:Boy, the things some people will do to protest a website redesign.
Eh, go for it. Amazon already burned his website to the ground.
So proud of you, son. I'll keep following you. Thanks to all the staff and wooters for all their support. Love, wootmom.
Best of luck where ever you end up. Thanks for many happy years.
I wish you all the best, @Snapster - Thanks for giving me a website that I've enjoyed spending a lot of time on over the years. Take care.
Good luck, Snapster. You did something pretty amazing here. I just hope that now you're gone, this place doesn't actually turn into a real business. That would be sad, for all of us, and to the spirit of what you created. Cheers to you, sir!

This is how company takeovers usually work, unfortunately. Amazon didn't buy Woot because they were bored or altruistic, they wanted something... Anyway, best of luck to Snapster. I'm sure we'll be hearing from the guy who turned crap and monkeys into an e-commerce powerhouse again.

The principles of the Enlightenment, which would inspire the French Revolution, first took practical shape in Denmark in the 18th century. The books and ideas of Voltaire and Rousseau arrived there under the arm of Dr. Johann Struensee, a German physician who was hired to care for the young King Christian VII, and eventually took very good care indeed of his comely new queen from Britain, Queen Caroline Mathilde.
Their risky love affair and clandestine guidance of Danish politics provide rich material for "A Royal Affair," a big budget historical drama that carries Denmark's hopes into the Oscar season. It provides still more exposure for the rising Danish star Mads Mikkelsen, the latest male sex symbol of the art house crowd. He plays Struensee, a social reformer ahead of his time.
Queen Caroline (Alicia Vikander) arrives in Denmark for a royal marriage, and discovers that the rumors she's heard about her intended husband, the king (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard), are true. First seen by us hiding behind a tree and by her displaying an odd giggle, he's mentally deranged and infantile. After finding he doesn't much like marriage, he suddenly determines to make a grand tour of Europe, and the elders of the court hire Struensee to travel along and see what can be done with him.
Struensee finds him to be putty in his hands, easily influenced, and when they return to Copenhagen, with Caroline and a new royal infant, he stays on within the royal household. Denmark at the time was a place where rich aristocrats ruled and such reforms as orphanages seemed dangerously radical. Caroline, in love with Struensee, also falls in love with what the doctor tells her about Voltaire's politics, and she uses her influence with the king to change the nation's history.
Christian was essentially a figurehead, useful for public display and dismissed by the powers in his court. His innocence and cluelessness are sort of endearing. The doctor has a masterstroke: He uses Caroline to persuade her husband to take command of his kingdom, as after all he is permitted to do under the constitution. One reform follows another, to the consternation of the suddenly powerless court.
Strangely, the illicit couple seem more in love with what they're doing than with each other. Yes, they're "in love," but it isn't the earth that shakes, it's the kingdom. As the power behind the throne once removed, Mikkelsen is well-cast as a strong leading man who is also convincing as an intellectual and reformer.
Nikolaj Arcel, the director, makes good use of locations in Prague, everybody's favorite backdrop for a historical European city, and the players and costumes make this look like a historical romance. It's ever so much more, as we discover in scenes that bracket the main action, revealing the tensions and dangers experienced by the brave young queen. Is it too much to suspect that she carried on her affair for reasons of idealism, not lust?
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

A's look to Milone in matchup with Royals' Santana
Ex-Angels pitcher has compiled 2.03 ERA against Oakland
With Brett Anderson sidelined for at least another month with a stress fracture in his right foot, one of the best offenses in baseball is in need of an ace.
"We have people who can step in," manager Bob Melvin said. "I feel we have a deep organization."
Tommy Milone may not have the win-loss record to show it, but he could certainly contribute in that role.
Milone, who takes the mound against the Royals on Saturday, has shown flashes of brilliance this season, highlighted by a 10-strikeout performance against the Angels three starts ago, as he's consistently shown the ability to generate swings-and-misses.
Perhaps most importantly, the 26-year-old lefty has pitched into the seventh inning in six of his eight starts.
"My goal is to keep the team in the game," he said last week. "That's what I'm going to do every time out, or I'm going to try to."
Both the Royals and A's are looking to turn the corner after losing eight of their last 11.
Saturday's starter for Kansas City, Ervin Santana might be one of the more underrated offseason acquisitions.
While he's the most expensive player on the Royals' roster, making $13 million in the last year of his contract, the 30-year-old right-hander has a 2.79 ERA with 39 strikeouts to just six walks over 48 1/3 innings.
His Achilles' heel, as it has been throughout his career, has been the home run. He averages about a home run per start, and that's held up in 2013, with six homers allowed in seven appearances.
However, Santana has posted strong numbers against the A's from his eight seasons (2005-12) pitching with the Angels in the American League West. In 26 games against Oakland, Santana is 14-5 with a 2.03 ERA.
A's: Hitting a speed bump
The A's, who entered Friday ranked 29th in the Majors with 41 runs scored in the month of May, put up just two runs against the Royals on Friday.
"We're not playing well here, and we haven't for a period of time," Melvin said. "You have to try to power through this thing and win some games, then you get some confidence and get on a roll.
Royals: Prospect Lough recalled
With Jarrod Dyson landing on the 15-day disabled list Friday, the Royals are taking a second look at 27-year-old David Lough, the team's 20th-ranked prospect according to MLB.com.
The left-handed hitting Lough was a September callup last year and had a .237 average in 20 games. Lough was hitting .340 (52-for-153) for Triple-A Omaha with three home runs, three triples, six doubles, five stolen bases and 17 RBIs in 36 games.
"Things lately have been going super-well for me," he said. "The first week I struggled down there and I just tried to get back to what I was doing in Spring Training, trying to stay consistent."
Lough was in right field hitting leadoff for the Royals on Friday and went 2-for-4 with an RBI double.
It's a tough break for Dyson, who had started five of the last eight games before incurring a right ankle injury Wednesday.
Worth noting
• Royals top prospect Bubba Starling underwent Lasik eye surgery Thursday and is not expected to miss much time. Starling, who was hitting .213 with Class A Lexington, had complained about not seeing well during night games.
• Right-hander Blaine Boyer has exercised an out clause in his contract and has been released by the Royals' Triple-A affiliate to pursue a career in Japan.
• A's outfielder Chris Young, who hasn't played since April 29 due to a strained left quad, is on track to be activated from the 15-day disabled list Saturday.
• Coco Crisp has yet to get a hit since returning from the disabled list Wednesday.

Hypnotherapy: Awareness & Integration (HYPNO - 12AWAR04)
Bastyr University
ROOM 184 April 6-7 and room 284 April 27-28
Kenmore, WA 98028-4966
United States
Professional after 3/20 | $ 765.00 |
Bastyr/NIAOM alumni after 3/20 | $ 685.00 |
General public after 3/20 | $ 765.00 |
BU staff after 3/30 | $ 595.00 |
Full-time student | $ 465.00 |
Retake | $ 225.00 |
This course provides powerful techniques to the holistic or allopathic health care practitioner whose practice would benefit from the use of trance induction, relaxation, visualization, mind/body healing, and specific approaches and concepts for deep, sustainable wellness. It is equally beneficial for those who wish to explore a new career path in hypnotherapy, or who simply want to use this knowledge for personal use to experience deep personal change and growth.
Hypnotherapy: Awareness & Integration, targeting inner conflict and abusive or unresolved relationships, brings you powerful tools and techniques to assist your clients with some of life's most challenging issues. Facilitate resolution of indecision, contradiction, and analysis paralysis, as well as conflicts in relationships. Specific relationship conflicts include, but are not limited to, childhood abuse, problems with a boss or spouse, and achieving closure when relationships have ended or loved ones have passed on.
This course provides you with a uniquely designed set of practical skills that Dr. LaBay has modified for increased effectiveness over the past 15 years of clinical practice. These skills are combined with philosophical concepts that are at the base of most disease and dysfunction. This information is not addressed in other hypnotherapy courses, and will give you a unique and effective approach to your wellness practice.
Hypnotherapy and its accompanying healing protocols are considered to be rapid and effective approaches to understanding and modifying perceptions, beliefs, communication, and behavior, along with accelerated self-awareness and change. As a holistic approach to wellness, this technology allows us to create and direct our experiences in body, mind, emotions, and energy.
Hypnotherapy: Awareness & Integration consists of two components: approximately 22 hours of home study (reading, completing exercises and conducting at least eight practice hypnosis sessions) and four days (28 hours) of classroom experience. Prior to the class start date you will receive your course workbook to begin the home-study portion of the course.
Although some of the topics listed below also appear in the course description for Hypnotherapy: Transformation & Healing, each course will present unique methods and approaches (i.e. each course includes inductions, but different induction methods will be explored in each).
Prior to attending the first class session you will begin learning the terminology and concepts that support your understanding of resolving conflicts and dysfunction, including how to facilitate desired change and deep sustainable healing. You might spend up to eight hours of reading prior to the first face-to-face class session, and an additional 14 hours between the two weekend sessions reading, completing exercises, and conducting practice sessions.
Your home-study will include information on:
- Setting a conducive environment, building rapport, adjusting voice tonality and speed, conducting the intake session, and facilitating the hypnosis session through graceful transitions.
- Various methods of induction and deepening to get even the most resistant or analytical client into the proper state to successfully and safely experience hypnosis.
- Organic and client-centered concepts and methods that allow you to work without scripts, maintain deep rapport with your client, and be intuitively attuned to the client's experience as it unfolds.
- Formation and use of non-leading questions to avoid false memory syndrome.
- Methods to bring your client safely out of trance so they can safely drive and otherwise function normally.
- Application and use of several techniques and strategies, organically and without scripts, for individual client goals and needs. These include inner conflicts, indecision, dysfunctional history, relationships, addictions, compulsions, self-sabotage, and counterproductive perspectives and attitudes.
- Psychological and philosophical concepts pertinent to deep healing and wellness of the above issues. How identifying these will guide you in choosing the proper protocol to follow, and achieving greater success in addressing and resolving conflicts and dysfunction.
- Structure and application of the techniques presented in this course.
- Case studies that provide a deeper understanding of their applications.
You will attend two, two-day weekend classroom sessions. Activities will include discussing the material to ensure assimilation, observing live demonstrations of each of the techniques to see them in action and in combination, and practicing the techniques to gain substantial personal experience - both as the therapist and as the client.
During the classroom-based instruction you will experience and practice techniques for:
- Suggestibility tests to determine how easily you or a client will go into trance.
- Inductions: Several techniques to achieve hypnosis.
- Deepening: Techniques to deepen the trance state, providing greater focus and relaxation, and increasing connection with the subconscious mind.
- Emerging: Completing the hypnosis session, bringing the client back to normal awareness, along with closing conversations with the client.
- Reverse Metaphor: A uniquely designed technique to allow the subconscious to communicate with the conscious mind through story and metaphor, much like a wakeful dream.
- Regression therapy: Regression to cause to discover and heal the initial sensitizing event.
- Secondary Gains: Discovery of the motivation for indecision, self-sabotage, and inner conflict.
- Parts Therapy: Resolving indecision, self-sabotage, and inner conflict.
- Inner Child: Addressing the needs of the inner child, from infancy to the present, to resolve emotional and psychological hurt, pain, trauma, misconceptions, confusion, and restore strength of character, self-esteem and pride.
- Chair Therapy: Resolving and gaining perspectives in issues with other people, dead or alive, including rehearsing a confrontation with the boss, putting to rest family dysfunction, and completing the grieving process.
- Reframing: Altering our perspective of challenging events and feelings from the past, and assimilating them positively for health and wholeness.
- The Empowerment Symbol: An anchoring technique that allows the client to access courage and confidence during the session as well as into their everyday life.
- Role Model: Another anchoring technique that facilitates rapid assimilation of the healing and changes that have taken place.
- Future Pacing: Taking the client into the future of their new, healthier lifestyle - instructing the subconscious to set the path for sustained healing into the future
- An overview discussion of professional ethics and the laws governing hypnotherapists.
Upon completion of the course you will be able to:
- Demonstrate at least two inductions
- Demonstrate at least one deepening technique
- Demonstrate bringing a client out of trance and completing the session
- Demonstrate how to guide a client to their safe space
- Perform regression to cause
- Demonstrate secondary gains

I made this dish using this recipe over this past weekend. I am definitely beginner with making raw food and was initially intimidated by the number of ingredients. However, it was actually pretty simple to prepare. The end result was amazing! I was really impressed with how the dish turned out. Thanks for posting this recipe. It is my fav new recipe!
Raw meatloaf recipe
Prep Time
10 min -
Total Time
7 hours 10 min -
Shelf Life
4 days in fridge -
5/5 (from 3 ratings)5 -
4 servings -
4 small loaves
- 3/4 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary (optional)
- 2 cups mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
Recipe Directions
- 1. Place mushrooms in food processor. Pulse briefly (for a few seconds) until reduced in size. Do not over-process!
- 2. Place processed mushrooms in a large bowl. Add ground flax seeds and stir. Set bowl aside.
- 3. Place all remaining ingredients in to the empty food processor. Process well (for a minute or two) until nicely combined and moist.
- 4. Add food processed mixture to the large bowl. Stir gently until combined.
- 5. Form into small, single-serving loaves, approximately 1 inch thick or less, probably two inches wide. Do not make a big huge loaf because it won't dehydrate properly! Place on parchment paper inside your dehydrator.
- 6. Dehydrate on high for 2 hours. Reduce temperature to 105 degrees and continue dehydrating until to your desired result. The outside will go first, then the inside will go dark as well. I like to leave a bit of moisture in these. (They won't get completely crispy due to the olive oil.)
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianRaw meatloaf recipes have strangely eluded my raw vegan grasp until now. But I'm excited to say that this raw meatloaf recipe takes the asvory cake.
This meatloaf is made from nuts and mushrooms, and the mushrooms are really what sets the flavor and texture of this raw meatloaf recipe over the top. In fact, once you dehydrate it the color turns into a nice, dark brown--as you can see in this picture!
Note: After dehydrating, refrigerate right away. Mushrooms are sensitive!
PS: Even if you don't particularly care for mushrooms you might still adore this raw meatloaf recipe. I served it to my husband (who despises mushrooms) and he gobbled it up. The trick is not to mention that there are mushrooms inside! The mushrooms are chopped up quite small so they really just contribute to the overall texture rather than making this raw meatloaf recipe look all mushroomy.

Hi Cally, yes, instead of the sunflower seeds you could use pecans, walnuts, cashews, pine nuts or macadamia nuts. (Or a combination of them)

Raw meatloaf recipe
This Raw Meatloaf is great . My second batch is in the dehydrator right now. I just can't believe how good and satisfying they are, and easy to make. Thank you Laura-Jane
I really love your recipes and have had much success with them. I have made the meatloaf a number of times and have had no problems....until yesterday!!! I have not made it for a while and I did not soak the nuts, the yield was significantly less( only 4 "loaves") instead of 8-10. After reviewing the recipe and the comments section there is mention of soaking...but I don't see that in recipe. Would soaking make that much of a difference in the amount made? I am now trying again today and am soaking the nuts. How long should I soak for?
Keep those recipes coming...;)
I have tried other raw recipes that I love, I want to do more but I do not have a dehydrator. Any suggestions on one that can accomodate these types of recipes?
Hi Donna,
Unfortunately, a dehydrator is needed. Best to wait until you can get one :)
Best dehydrator is 9-tray Excalibur, hands down. But... it is expensive! http://tinyurl.com/ah6o3qt
For the budget-conscious, you can also get a Vegikiln - they are cheaper, white, not as "reputable" but they get the job done if price is a big factor. The main difference is that this one doesn't have a door that closes all the trays in (which isn't a big deal unless you want to dehydrate taller items and have to remove trays, but you can cover the holes with aluminum foil if need be): http://tinyurl.com/avb59e3 Hope this helps!
I know I ask this on most recipes. Shelf life and storage? Thanks. Have been following you for a while but just purchased a dehydrator. So excited.
Natasha James 's Review
Raw meatloaf recipe
Can I use portobello mushrooms instead?
When you say "Dehydrate on high", what do you mean? Since this is raw, do you mean 115 degrees? I want to make this this weekend!
As you know, when dehydrating raw food it is important to keep the enzymes alive by dehydrating at 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.6 degrees Celsius) or lower.
However, I recommend turning your dehydrator on "high" (145 degrees) for about 1.5 hours when first putting food in the dehydrator, and then decreasing the temperature to 105 degrees after 1.5 hours or so.
I suggest this because the initial warmer temperature will help to take away a lot of the moisture at first, and the thinking is that it takes a while for your dehydrator to climb up to "high" and it also takes quite a while for the food to actually get to the temperature that the dehydrator air is at so it is still safe for raw foodists.
One of the best side-effects of setting your temperature higher at first is that it's good at getting rid of the initial moisture quite quickly. Increasing the temperature at the beginning of cooking time is common practice in the raw food community. If you are not mindful about turning the heat back down after 1.5 hours, yes, your food will be heated above 105 degrees. However, this risk is warranted. That initial heat blast can really save you a lot of time and can accelerate the dehydrating process by quite a bit, even by 50% sometimes.
Hope this helps!
For me, I do strive to live a 100% raw lifestyle; however, I also make some slight tweaks to the "rules" in order to ensure that I can stay raw over the long-term.
If the nuts used in this recipe are soaked and dehydrated beforehand, do you have to soak them again to make the recipe? I know some raw recipes require a soaked nut for the creaminess it gives to a recipe. Is that the case here?
I ask this because I soak and dehydrate most of the nuts, seeds and grains that I buy to remove the enzyme inhibitors, phytates (phytic acid), polyphenols (tannins), and goitrogens.
Is there anything you can substitute for the sunflower seeds? Thanks!
Hi there! This looks delicious, but I don't have a dehydrator. Is there another " cooking" method?

i made the meatloaf last night, really delicious and satisfying but my wife had some throat swelling and we think it is the almonds, is their a substitute for almonds?
Hello!!! I want to make this. Since I work, and I am also dealing with an illness, I try to throw stuff that I can in the freezer, so I know this is large, but do you think I can put some of the mixture in the freezer for a later dehydrating date? Or do you think cutting the recipe in half is better? And since I am the only one who loves raw in my house of two, how long will this last. I am also thinking this would make an awesome pate by taking some and processing it a bit longer? Thank you. And I have been dabbling in raw for a few years, and I am a new member, and I must say, I am having fun. Hugs.

Kasama is a communist project for the forcible overthrow and transformation of all existing social conditions. We are open to learning, unafraid to admit our own uncertainties. We will not shrink from what we do know: the solutions cannot be found within the current world order or the choices it provides. We are for revolution. We seek to find the forms of organization and action for the people most dispossessed by this system to free themselves and all humanity.
To take this road, we need a fearless, open-eyed debate, discussion and engagement. We need fresh analyses of the rapid changes shaping the world around us. We need to sum up a century of revolutionary strategies and attempts, victories and defeats – instead of the conventional wisdom and facile verdicts that paralyze our movements. We need to re-imagine a radical politics that can take life among people and move mountains.

Harang aims for first career victory against Angels
Eleven-year vet takes on Weaver as Halos go for road sweep
Aaron Harang has been in baseball for 11 years, but just 44 of his 320 career appearances have come with an American League club. That's partly to blame for his winless record against the Angels, the team he has faced the most without defeating.
He and the Mariners are hoping his recent hot streak can put a stop to that trend.
The veteran right-hander has taken the loss in all of his three career starts against the Angels, each of which came in the first three months of this season. He has 10.03 ERA, having allowed a staggering 26 hits in 11 2/3 innings.
But Harang has been much better of late, thanks to some mechanical adjustments. In his last two starts, the 35-year-old has given up just four runs over 12 innings.
"It does feel sharper," Harang said. "I worked with [pitching coach Carl Willis] down in Tampa and we went over a lot of videos, seeing if there was something I was doing wrong. We found that from the start of my windup, I was mechanically getting too big of a starting -- my first step back, I was shifting my weight so far back I could never get it back to the right balance point to give me a good wind to the plate. Once we figured that out, it just felt like I was staying back on my back leg longer and didn't really get a good wind and wasn't falling off as much to the left like I had been in previous starts."
Harang and the Mariners will face off against Angels righty Jeff Weaver and an Angels squad that has lost 12 of its last 20 games. The Mariners have won 6 of 12 and are 16-17 since the All-Star break.
Weaver found his rhythm after a disappointing June (0-3, 4.40 ERA) with a strong July (4-1, 1.32 ERA), but he is back in trouble this month. He's 2-2 in August, but his ERA over those four games is 6.31.
Weaver's given up 13 runs in his last 11 innings, including four over six innings in his last start against the Indians.
"Location was good, just had one blow-up inning and that ended up being the difference in the game," Weaver said. "A little frustrating, but going to keep working, keep throwing the ball and see if things can turn around."
Weaver's ERA has jumped from 2.84 on July 29 to 3.62.
Mariners: Beating their rivals
Seattle is 14-5 against the AL West since June 22.
• The Mariners have hit 50 homers in the seventh inning or later, which was the most in baseball entering Saturday.
• Kyle Seager has 19 home runs, and he is one shy of becoming the first Seattle player since Raul Ibanez (2005-08) and Adrian Beltre ('06-08) to hit 20 homers in back-to-back seasons.
Angels: Trout ready to start a new streak?
After his streak of 40 consecutive games reaching base was snapped on Friday night (he had missed the previous three with right hamstring tightness), Trout hit a two-run home run in the second inning on Saturday night.
His streak was the longest such active in baseball, and the second longest in Angels history. Trout has walked 28 times over the last 24 games, and has at least one base on balls in 17 of the last 23.
Trout has drawn 21 walks this month. The franchise record for most walks in a month is 28 by Eddie Yost in June 1961.
• With one more home run, Mark Trumbo will be the first Angels player with back-to-back 30 homer seasons since Vlad Guerrero from 2004-06. Only Tim Salmon and Troy Glaus have accomplished the feat with the Angels before turning 28.
Worth noting
• Right-hander Danny Farquhar has recorded four consecutive 1-2-3-inning saves. That's tied for eighth-most in franchise history and the most since Tom Wilhelmsen recorded five straight from June 8-July 2, 2012.
• Twenty-one of the Angels' last 35 games will come on the road. They're in the midst of a 10-day, three-city road trip (2-0 so far) that will also include stops in Tampa Bay and Milwaukee.
