CRUDE: May WTI: $93.50/bbl, up 14 cents; May Brent: $104.96/bbl, up 30 cents
NYMEX WTI crude futures bounced around between positive and negative territory and within a narrow range in search of near-term direction. Global economic growth concerns and geopolitical issues pressured or supported the energy complex.
RBOB: May: $2.9154/gal, up 0.61 cent/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices continued to make gains during morning trading as analysts are predicting a drop of about 1m bbl in gasoline inventories in the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report on Wednesday.
NATURAL GAS: May: $4.026/MMBtu, down 5.6 cents
The front month on the NYMEX natural gas market fell further on Tuesday morning, as bearish sentiment based upon above-average temperatures across high demand regions through the coming weeks continued to set the pace for trading activity.
ETHANE: lower at 28.00 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices were lower, following news that Chevron Phillips Chemical shut down its Sweeny cracker in Texas over the weekend. Weak natural gas futures also pressured prices lower.
AROMATICS: benzene up at $4.48-4.53/gal

Chad Meisinger Receives Infinitely Beyond Award at Convene 2013 CEO Summit
Chad Meisinger, Founder of Over the Top Marketing, receives Infinitely Beyond Award at Convene 2013 CEO Summit in Dallas, TX.
Placentia, CA (PRWEB) June 20, 2013
Chad Meisinger received the Infinitely Beyond Award from Convene, the premier Christian CEO and Business Owner forum organization, at their 8th annual CEO Summit held recently in Dallas, Texas.
Selected from hundreds of members, Convene´s Infinitely Beyond Award recognized two outstanding members this year for their extraordinary life´s work centered on service to God and building exceptional businesses based on Kingdom values. The award is named from a scripture recognizing that God´s plans and power are greater for us than we can imagine:
"Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of–infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes." Ephesians 3:20 TLB
Recipients have gone above and beyond in their businesses, communities and ministries. Each recipient is nominated by their peers and then their qualifications are reviewed and validated to confirm their exceptional service.
Chad Meisinger, a former Google executive, is considered a top player in the Internet evolution. He is the founder of Over The Top Marketing, among other start-ups, and a key executive and principal at dMarc, a high-tech communications firm that eventually sold for $1.2 billion to Google.
"Chad serves the Lord through his businesses." said Matthew Fullerton, Convene Chairman. "He even remodeled his cigar retail business to allow for a large bible study. This group has grown over the years from a few to over 60 participants. The Lord is working powerfully in this bible study with men coming to Christ and many men getting closer to God as a result of Chad´s presence and his gift of this space. "
"A few years back," Fullerton continued, "Chad got inspired by another Convene member to visit the Philippines. He was touched deeply by the poverty and desperate need of many of the children there. As a result he started an operation to help provide love, shelter, education, and employment for kids rescued from a multitude of evils there in the Philippines. Chad recently took his whole family back to the Philippines and all came back changed by the experience, closer to each other and closer to God than ever before."
Founded in 1996, Convene is a national peer advisory organization of Christian CEOs and business owners meeting together to help each other build exceptional businesses, become higher-impact leaders, and honor God through the principle of "iron sharpening iron."

In the 17th century, the designation 'Cape Cod' applied only to the tip of the peninsula, essentially present-day Provincetown. This map is hand-drawn and printed on an old-fashioned letterpress to look like an authentic artifact. It is tinted with watercolor by the artist.

This article first appeared at The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor on Friday, December 26, 2014:
Observers of new highs being put in by stocks at the Wall Street Journal could hardly restrain themselves. Eric Morath and Ben Leubsdorf, writing in the Journal on Tuesday, noted that the economy is now enjoying "a sweet spot of robust growth, sustained hiring, and falling unemployment [which is] stirring optimism that a post-recession breakout has arrived."
Translation: Good times are here again, and likely to continue. Break out the Brie and Chablis.
Looking past the celebrations and the prognostications seemed, at first view, to confirm the market's outlook:

Why have governments responded to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in such different ways? During the past quarter century, international agencies and donors have disseminated vast resources and a set of best practice recommendations to policymakers around the globe. Yet the governments of developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean continue to implement widely varying policies. Boundaries of Contagion is the first systematic, comparative analysis of the politics of HIV/AIDS. The book explores the political challenges of responding to a stigmatized condition, and identifies ethnic boundaries--the formal and informal institutions that divide societies--as a central influence on politics and policymaking.
Evan Lieberman examines the ways in which risk and social competition get mapped onto well-institutionalized patterns of ethnic politics. Where strong ethnic boundaries fragment societies into groups, the politics of AIDS are more likely to involve blame and shame-avoidance tactics against segments of the population. In turn, government leaders of such countries respond far less aggressively to the epidemic. Lieberman's case studies of Brazil, South Africa, and India--three developing countries that face significant AIDS epidemics--are complemented by statistical analyses of the policy responses of Indian states and over seventy developing countries. The studies conclude that varied patterns of ethnic competition shape how governments respond to this devastating problem. The author considers the implications for governments and donors, and the increasing tendency to identify social problems in ethnic terms.

good quality food for a good price. All-in formula which is very group friendly. Nice atmosphere & friendly staff.
This is an all you can eat place. But as such there is a reasonably good choice to pick from and what was a real surprise is the food quality was very good.
Fantastic Eat all you can proposal! would definitely advice to go !
very friendly service and great fresh japanese food !
This is a Japanese restaurant right next door to the Best Western. The food is slightly on the costlier side. However, the quality and the ambiance compensate for that!
We ate here whilst staying at the great western hotel the food was good and it was ideal for trying different dishes as it was eat as much as you can.
One Saturday evening we felt for having sushi, however that is not so easy to find in this particular area of Belgium. Then we tracked down Q-Taro in Turnhout, which seemed to have a nice all-you-can-eat concept. However looking at the menu, it became clear that it was more a wannabe sushi-restaurant. The selection of belgian beers is of course...
Usually sushi is pay per piece, this place allows you to try a lot of options all at a fixed price, around 22 Euro on weekdays. They have the standards, tuna and salmon, sushi/sashimi and then some others (like surf clam, beef sushi, and st jacob scallop).
You can also order all sorts of sides (included in the price), such...
This place was convenient as it was located next to the the train station where I arrived and was adjacent to the Best Western Turnhout City Hotel where I was staying. I decided on this restaurant as it was a snowy, slippery day in Belgium and convenience was preminent in the decision-making process. The way this place worked by their...
Pretends to be Japanese when owners are Chinese, food and "all you can eat concept" has nothing to do with Japan. Beware if you can eat as many sushi's as you like for a set price - you can imagine the quality. People think it's a trendy concept but they are fooled by their ignorance of what Japanese food is....
Close to a bus stop and train station. Nice building with acceptable outdoor space. The outdoor lighting is a bit white and hard, but that's hardly a reason not to visit :-). Friendly staff. Good menu-card, Less than 5% limited quantity items: a selection of sashimi or some more exclusive food like lobster, which requires supplementary payments in other all-you-can-eats,...

Forty three students from various schools attend Research Science Initiative's Summer Programme aimed at helping them pursue their interest in core science research.
A few students from various schools in Chennai spent their summer in style. Forty-three students from all boards of education attended the Summer Programme (SP) 2012 conducted by the Research Science Initiative, Chennai. The P.S.B.B. Group of Schools organised SP 2012 in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, Chennai Mathematical Institute, Anna University and Sastra University.
The programme aimed at helping students pursue their interest in research in core sciences. It happened over a period of five weeks, during which the students had a comprehensive learning experience attending lectures, visiting laboratories and working on projects.
The valedictory function of this programme was held recently at the I.C. & S.R. auditorium in IIT-Madras.
The chief guest for the function was T. Ramasami, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The event started with a welcome address by Vijayalakshmi Srivatsan, Chief Coordinator, RSI-C. This was followed by a Special Address by Y.G. Parthasarathy, Chief Patron, RSI-C and Dean & Director, P.S.B.B. Group of Schools.
On an encouraging note, she said, "I hope that we will discover Nobel laureates and researchers among the students assembled here. I thank the city schools for their excellent response."
Bhaskar Ramamurthi, Director, IIT-M and Chief Patron, RSI-C, delivered the valedictory address.
He said he was happy to host a programme behind which so much effort was involved. "It is wonderful to see such a large, cooperative effort taken by so many people," he said. A report on SP 2012 was presented by Prof. K. Mangala Sunder, chairman, RSI-C. Outlining the selection process, he informed the audience that out of the 174 applications received, 95 were initially shortlisted on the basis of teachers' recommendations.
Apart from the academic content of the programme, the students also had extra-mural sessions on various topics ranging from temple architecture to alternative career options.

…at the Toronto ZOO RUN in my age category!!! Who would have thought?! I wrote all about how I ended up running the race for fun, looking at all the animals, and taking a full two minutes longer than my PR a few weeks prior .
I got an email a while ago saying that there was a medal waiting for me at the Canada Running Series office and I thought they had made a mistake. I ran the race in 25:17 and didn't stick around for the award ceremony after because I did not think that time would have earned me anything. I guess there weren't that many girls running in my age group! Well, any fast girls at least. Hey, I'm not complaining. I was actually pretty stoked. It will probably be the only time I ever place so I've got to embrace it
Now I've got another medal to hang on my medal display !
I have SO MANY blogs to catch up on. I barely even touched my computer over the last 24 hours so I'm going to get ON IT.
I also noticed some new followers! Welcome and thank you for joining me! I am going to check out all of your blogs ASAP. I can't wait to meet all of you
Has anyone out there ever placed in a race?
What are your weekend plans? It's Canadian Thanksgiving so I'm pretty stoked!!

Notorious Macau gangster released from prison
Friday - 11/30/2012, 9:26pm EST
By KELVIN CHAN
AP Business Writer
HONG KONG (AP) - The notorious Macau crime boss known as Broken Tooth Koi, who was released from prison Saturday after serving nearly 15 years, will hardly recognize the city he terrorized in the late 1990s with a brutal gangland war.
Wan Kuok-koi was convicted of loan sharking, money laundering and being a gang leader in November 1999, a month before Portugal handed control of Macau, its colony for more than four centuries, back to Beijing and long before the sleepy enclave welcomed international operators to build the modern resorts that have made it a gambling mecca.
As head of Macau's 14K triad, Wan waged a brutal war with rival triads, or organized crime gangs, for dominance of the lucrative VIP rooms in Macau's casinos. He was arrested shortly after a bomb destroyed the car of Macau's director of investigative police, who was out jogging when the vehicle exploded and was unscathed by the assassination attempt.
Wan walked out of Coloane Prison in Saturday's gray dawn, flashed a faint smile and refused to answer questions from reporters before speeding away in a white Lexus.
According to news reports in Macau and nearby Hong Kong, authorities have been preparing for his release by warning hotels and casinos to tighten security and plan to keep a close eye on him after he gets out. Officials including one from Beijing's liaison office with Macau have also warned Wan, now in his late 50s, to behave after his release, the reports said.
The measures are a response to fears that Wan's release would be followed by a return to the pre-handover gang violence that rocked Macau and claimed dozens of lives, including 37 in 1999 alone. Some worry he'll try to get involved again with junkets, which arrange for wealthy mainly Chinese gamblers to come to Macau, lend them money and make big profits by collecting on debts.
But analysts say upon his return to society, he'll likely find he has lost much of his power and influence following Macau's decade-long transformation from a seedy and corrupt crime-ridden backwater into the world's top gambling market.
Macau's decision to end a four-decade casino monopoly in 2002 opened the way for foreign operators to modernize the industry. Las Vegas Sands Corp., MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts Ltd. have all opened glitzy resorts in recent years. Macau is the only place in China where gambling is legal.
"Wan Kuok-koi is yesterday's man," said Steve Vickers, a former head of intelligence at Hong Kong's police force who is now chief executive of business intelligence and risk consultancy SVA.
"Whilst he remains connected with his previous gang members, there is just no room for the wild bunch in Macau anymore. He will be neutralized should he create trouble," said Vickers, who noted that while Wan has been in prison, Macau's gambling revenues have rocketed from $2.5 billion in 2002 to $33.5 billion last year, more than five times the amount earned on the Las Vegas Strip.
In his heyday, Wan was a larger-than-life figure who seemed to have come straight out of a movie. In fact, he commissioned a film based on his life that was released in 1998. To shoot a key scene in "Casino," a shoot-em-up gangster flick, the crew blocked off a major bridge despite being denied permission by officials, who were left fuming. The Hong Kong Standard newspaper said Wan was also known as Broken Tooth Koi because in his youth he cracked a tooth in a car crash but later had it capped.
After getting out of prison, Wan will find a Macau that he'll scarcely recognize. To accommodate flashy, oversized Las Vegas-style casinos, city planners filled in a stretch of swampland between two islands in the land-scarce enclave. The new Cotai district is home to the Venetian Macao, the world's biggest casino, and similar resorts in a sharp contrast to the aging Hotel Lisboa in the cramped city center where Wan was arrested.
Tourists, who once stayed away because of the violence, now flood in to the city of just over half a million. Some 28 million, most of them from mainland China, arrived in the year to September.
Violence abated after Wan went to prison and Macau has been largely peaceful until a spate of violent incidents this year that included the beating of a junket operator in his own casino and the killings of two mainland Chinese men and, separately, the death of a mainland Chinese woman. The killings remain unsolved. Following the violence, Macau police questioned 1,300 people and arrested 150 in raids at casinos and hotels across the city.

A worried Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri are among the many former players who have been messaging Yuvraj Singh reassurances and even the taciturn Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who usually keeps to himself off the field has been spending long hours in Yuvraj's room to bring him out of what we're told is the blackest depression of his life. It's more than just about a dropped catch or not being among the runs. He's weathered the biggest challenges life could throw at him, including cancer, but it's almost as if the constant pressure of living up to the often unreasonable expectations of his temperamental father - much more so than even his team and his fans - has finally pushed him over the edge. Whispers suggest that Yuvi could have made up his mind to call it quits even as anxious friends and well wishers are trying their best to dissuade him.
Just surviving in international cricket can be a pressure cooker of stress, and it's certainly not helping that his recent loss of form has invited unmentionable, scathing invective from an enraged Yograj, who has squarely held Yuvi's abiding weakness for the good life responsible for finally derailing his career. In the past as well, he has berated his son for what he claims is Yuvi's addiction to Bollywood parties and glamour girls - in fact he even advised him not to marry because he would "spoil" some nice girl's life. But then, Yograj was still in his son's corner - now, no longer so. While he's held up admirably so far but the deep cracks on Yuvi's confidence are now plainly showing - unfortunately when he needs a father's support the most, all he's got is a boot-camp sergeant saying 'I told you so'.

The Miami Heat are off to their best home start in franchise history, which may not be encouraging for a San Antonio Spurs team that has been routed in its last two trips to South Beach. San Antonio, though, has a run of its own going, too. Miami seeks to remain unbeaten at home while the Spurs look to complete a perfect six-game road trip as the streaking teams meet Thursday night. The Heat (10-3) have won their first six games at American Airlines Arena and earned their fourth consecutive victory overall with a 110-108 come-from-behind win over Cleveland on Saturday. LeBron James scored a game-high 30 points and finished with five assists, the last coming when he found Ray Allen for a 3-pointer with 18.2 seconds left to put Miami ahead for good. Chris Bosh finished with 23 points and Allen had 17 off the bench for the Heat, who trailed by seven with 1:58 remaining. ''It speaks to the competitive will that the guys have at the end of close games,'' coach Erik Spoelstra said. ...

Great Thank Yous!
I really like these thank yous. When customized, they look amazing! The default colors are also really nice, with the black background. Definitely satisfied with my order!
Great thank yous!
Beautiful and easy to customize! Love them! Our guests loved them.
Excited to write thank yous!
I loved the ease of customization and the design was gorgeous. The little details like the address on the back are fantastic. I also loved that I could customize the copy on the inside. I went for the most basic quality paper and it is very nice, definitely feels expensive. All in all, very impressed.
I never expected ordering invitations, programs, and thank you notes could be this fun and easy! They were beautiful and everyone LOVED them!!
I ordered these on the linen paper and I am blown away. I encourage everyone to play with the different fonts and spacing during the customization step. I ultimately decided to remove the "&" and let the monogram shine through. I also love that there's a place for us to put our address on the back so those we're sending the card to can keep in contact with us.

Integrated delivery system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An integrated delivery system (IDS) is a network of health care organizations under a parent holding company. Some IDS have an HMO component, while others are a network of physicians only, or of physicians and hospitals. Thus, the term is used broadly to define an organization that provides a continuum of health care services.[1] There is some discussion over the efficiency and sustainability of IDS.[2] Integrated delivery systems are one example of the emergence of managed care organizations in the United States.
