The rumor, which began shortly after Deadline.com reported that the producer of NBC's "Days of our Lives" and CBS' "The Young and the Restless" was interested in snapping...

Apple OS X Mountain Lion review: iOS-like features help unify your digital world
The new desktop OS benefits from new features adopted from iOS
In February, Apple surprised users by unveiling OS X Mountain Lion, the 10th iteration of the Mac operating system since the first public beta appeared in September 2000. Mountain Lion picks up right where last year's Lion update left off, delivering some 200 new features -- many minor, some significant -- and incorporating lessons learned from iOS, the mobile operating system that's used on the iPad and the iPhone.
Some notable features that were until now limited to iOS are offered to desktop and laptop users, including push notifications, Messages, Reminders and the Notification Center. Not surprisingly, OS X also includes support for some new gestures that are used systemwide and built into applications. The full lineup of changes is available on Apple's site.
The public has known about many of these features for months, since Apple unveiled the developers preview in February. But at its Worldwide Developers Conference last month, the company offered details about pricing ($19.99) and availability (July), and Apple execs had a chance to talk up a few previously unannounced aspects of the new operating system, including system requirements.
I've had some time to try out the new operating system, which should be an easy upgrade for most users. Here's what I found out about it.
Getting Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion generally runs on most Macs sold since 2007, though there are some fairly recent Macs that have been left out in the cold. The easiest way to find out if your hardware is compatible is by clicking on the Apple menu while holding down the Option key and selecting System Information or System Profiler. (After making the selection, you can release the Option key.) Scroll down the list in the sidebar on the left and select Software. Under the System Software Overview, look for "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: No." If you find that entry, it means you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, since it is strictly 64-bit.
As for cost, the downward trend of recent years continues. After several years of selling Mac OS X upgrades for $129, Apple broke tradition in 2009 when it lowered the price of Snow Leopard to $29.99 -- and then charged the same thing for Lion in 2011. This year's upgrade costs just $19.99, and you can upgrade all of your personal Macs for that one price. That deal doesn't apply to businesses. (Information about enterprise volume licensing is available on Apple's site.)
This wouldn't be an Apple product without a bit of a twist: Mountain Lion is a digital download and can only be purchased through the Mac App Store, which can be found under the Apple menu. The upgrade is not available on disc or on a USB stick. So if you don't have broadband, you're going to have to find a Wi-Fi hotspot to download the 4.3GB update.
If you're strapped for bandwidth and you have multiple Macs, make sure to keep a copy of the installer before you install Mountain Lion. The installer deletes itself from your Applications folder once it's done, though you can download it again later through the App Store if you need to. Once you make a copy, you can transfer it wirelessly to other Macs in your household and install away.
If bandwidth isn't an issue, use your Apple ID to log in to the Mac App Store on your other computers and the new OS will show up under the Purchased menu, allowing you to download it there.
As a precaution, it's always best to back up your files before installation, just in case there's a problem. It's also a good idea to delay updating any critical production machines for a little while -- not because Mountain Lion isn't stable, but because bugs can sometimes rear their heads over time. It's definitely a best practice to let others find the faults first. (That being said, I'm a hypocrite: I've upgraded all of my production machines, with zero issues.)
One last tip before installation: Run Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) to catch any potential disk or permissions problems before you install Mountain Lion. Installing major software like an operating system update can sometimes trigger underlying issues. Better yet, if you really want to play it safe, run Alsoft's DiskWarrior; it's one of the best tools a Mac owner can have.
It took about 35 minutes to install Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro (which has an SSD drive) after I had downloaded the installer. The entire installation was as easy as can be; once you agree to the necessary terms and select your destination disk, the entire process is automatic.

PMC nod to include seven villages including Wagholi under city limits

THE boundaries of Pune city are all set to extend further with elected representatives in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) giving their consent for including Wagholi village on Pune-Nagar Road in addition to proposed six villages to be merged to civic jurisdiction.
In October 2012, the state government had notified its aim to include 28 villages in the PMC jurisdiction. Later, the government received demand for adding six more villages to the list, for which it sought the opinion of the civic body. These villages were Nandoshi, Mangdewadi, Bhilarewadi, Gujar Nimbalkarwadi, Jambhulwadi and Kolewadi.
Accordingly, the civic administration while giving its favourable response tabled a proposal of merging six more villages in PMC. The proposal to include Wagholi village in list of villages to be merged in PMC was tabled by Shiv Sena corporator Sachin Bhagat, citing rapid urbanisation in the area. "The development in Wagholi is very fast and there has to be a system in place to ensure proper development which can be done if it is included in civic jurisdiction," he said.
There was debate over inclusion of more villages in the PMC area with the Congress and MNS opposing it, saying the civic body is unable to meet basic demands of citizens in the present situation and adding more villages would further add to the problem. The NCP with the help of Shiv Sena and BJP got the proposal approved with majority vote.
Earlier, the civic administration while giving its favourable opinion said the villages were geographically located adjoining to the area earlier proposed to be merged in the civic jurisdiction and hence could be added to the list of 28 villages that are in process of being included in PMC limit.
It clarified that bringing more villages under PMC limits is going to put pressure on existing civic facilities and so there should be financial aid to develop infrastructure and meet the demand for civic facilities in the newly proposed areas. Also, the strength of civic staff should be increased to strengthen civic facilities in the new areas and there should be an increase in water quota for the city, said civic administration.

The outcome was a board that was hand constructed of cutting edge engineering, materials and contemporary design that features a totem image from Ransom Holding Co. winter 2013 campaign photographed by Sneeze Magazine's Nic Fensom, a nod to the Canadian origin of both brands. The design, engineering and construction, featuring exclusive pre-tensioned fiberglass, was done within Endeavor Snowboards' Archtype Lab in Vancouver, B.C. After development of the project, a tightly knit crew from Ransom Holding and Endeavor Snowboards set out on an alpine expedition to test the snowboard during a 2 day stay in a remote cabin in Northern BC. The time within the mountains was spent discussing design, cooking, sledding into un-touched alpine zones in search of good snow. A short film candidly documents the entire process from design to production through to snowboarding on the custom snowboards. Filmed by Alex Viau & Ben Loeb. Edited by Rob Dow.

Lao PDR Overview
Last update: April 2015
Natural resource development in Lao PDR, also known as Laos, has helped the country achieve consistently high economic growth rates throughout the last decade. This growth has been accompanied by reduced poverty. The macroeconomic environment is gradually improving, but remains fragile and needs careful management. In the longer term, Laos's key challenge is to ensure that natural resource wealth is transformed into investments in public infrastructure, services, and better health and educational outcomes for all, especially the poor.
Laos became a 'lower-middle income economy' in 2011 and, in 2013, Laos' GNI per capita reached $1,460. If the country continues growing at this pace, and if human development outcomes improve as well, Laos will likely graduate from 'Least Developed Country' status by 2020.
Natural resources - forestry, agricultural land, hydropower, and minerals - comprise more than half of Laos's total wealth. From 2005 to 2013, the hydropower and mining sectors combined generated about one third of the country's economic growth. Developing these resource sectors to achieve long term development sustainability is one of the key focuses of the Government's National Development Plan, to which the Country Partnership Strategy is aligned.
Laos, a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the ASEAN Economic Community, is increasing its integration into the regional and global economy. On February 2, 2013, Laos officially became a member of the World Trade Organization, the culmination of a 15-year process of reforms and negotiations.
Laos made good progress on many of the Millennium Development Goals but is off track in some areas. 44% of under-five children are stunted (too short for their age) and 27% are severely underweight. Laos still has one of the highest maternal mortality ratios in the region, even while it is 'on track' to achieve the MDG target for maternal mortality. Laos could also do more to place gender equality at the center of its national development plans.
In the Seventh National Social and Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) for 2011-2015, the Government laid out its poverty reduction strategy to meet the MDGs by 2015, aiming to foster economic growth with equity, develop and modernize the country's social and economic infrastructure and enhance human resource development. The Eighth NSEDP for 2016-2020 is currently being drafted.
The World Bank Group (WBG) continues to work with the Government as it lays the foundations to graduate from Least Developed Country status. The WBG's operations in the country are guided by the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for 2012 to 2016, designed to support the Government's development strategy and build stronger institutions for sustainable and inclusive development.
Last update: April 2015
The World Bank Group CPS for Laos 2012-2016 has three strategic objectives, with a cross-cutting theme of stronger public sector management.
Competitiveness and Connectivity. The WBG supports efforts towards improved trade facilitation, economic diversification and a better investment climate through project financing and analytical work. It also aims to help Government improve people's access to transport and energy infrastructure services to facilitate regional connectivity.
Sustainable Natural Resource Management. Through project financing and advisory services, the WBG assists in strengthening Government capacity to make informed decisions on resource-based investments. It also supports the Government in strengthening and implementing institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks that aim for sustainable development of natural wealth – water resources, minerals, forests and biodiversity - and mitigate the environmental and social impacts of natural resource development.
Inclusive Development. The WBG continues to support the Government in providing essential maternal and child health services and access to quality primary education in targeted, disadvantaged districts. It also builds on successful community driven platforms to assist communities in remote and poor areas, particularly among ethnic groups and women, to benefit from increased opportunities to participate in and benefit from development and livelihood activities.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) supports small and medium enterprises and larger firms in Laos through innovative investments and advisory services that help create jobs, raise incomes, and reduce poverty. In Laos, this begins with helping business and consumers obtain financing by investing in financial institutions and advising them on commercially viable products and services. IFC also advises the Government on developing business-friendly laws and regulations to improve opportunity for investors. The World Bank and IFC have been working closely through joint projects in supporting the energy sector, improving access to finance, and introducing PPP in the transport sector.
Last update: April 2015
The NT2 Multi-purpose Hydroelectric Project is jointly implemented by the Nam Theun 2 Power Company and the Government of Lao PDR. It is supported by financing from 27 parties including the World Bank, MIGA and Asian Development Bank. By 2035, the project is expected to generate around $2 billion in Government revenues for poverty reduction and environmental protection through the sale of electricity to Thailand and into the Lao grid. Project revenues from electricity sales are being used to finance Government efforts to enhance access to health care, education, roads and electricity in Lao PDR. The Nam Theun 2 Power Company is contributing $1 million per year to support the administration of the Nakai Nam Theun National Protected Area during the 30 year concession and operations period, and is also financing activities to improve service delivery and livelihoods for around 6,300 resettled people on the Nakai plateau.
Other ongoing projects related to Sustainable Natural Resource Management include the Scaling-Up Participatory Sustainable Forest Management (SUFORD SU) project, which is executing REDD+ (Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) activities through participatory sustainable forest management, and piloting forest landscape management. The Protected Area and Wildlife (PAW) project is improving management of National Protected Areas and reducing the trade in illegal wildlife.
The Second Education Development Project helped increase enrollment, completion and improve the quality of education in Lao PDR's six poorest provinces. Under this project, 781 primary schools were built, each offering a complete five grades of primary education. Approximately 4,000 teachers were trained, a range of teaching-learning tools was developed and more than three million textbooks were distributed. The Early Childhood Education Project is ongoing.
The Rural Electrification Project is extending the electricity grid to rural households in southern provinces and is also promoting off-grid renewable energy throughout the country. Today, 87 % of households now have access to electricity, up from only 16 % in 1995.
The Poverty Reduction Fund (PRF) is the largest multi-sector community-driven development project in the country, with total IDA financing amounting to $34.35 million. The PRF has benefited more than 450,000 rural poor in about 850 villages. In target villages, results include increases of 37 percent in the use of health services, 76 percent in access to safe water resources, and 30 percent in access to all weather roads.The Second Poverty Reduction Fund is ongoing.
The Customs and Trade Facilitation Project is helping to make border clearances faster and more efficient. A computerized customs management system, which has been introduced at 15 out of 24 official checkpoints, takes payments electronically and provides this information in real-time to the Government's financial management system. More than 90 percent of formal trade at these checkpoints is covered by the new system, which also generates detailed foreign trade information which can be used for economic analysis and planning. Customs clearance procedures have also been modernized as part of the project.
The WBG also acted as the trust fund administrator for the Trade Development Facility Project. The project contributed towards substantial trade negotiating efforts which culminated in Lao PDR's formal WTO accession in February 2013; the establishment of a permanent National Trade Facilitation Secretariat; and the launch of an electronic Trade Portal that puts all trade-related information on tariffs, licenses, measures, laws, regulations and import/export procedures into the public domain. The Second Trade Development Facility, a multi donor partnership, is supporting the next generation of priority trade and competitiveness reforms.

Third baseman Fernando Tatis and right-handed reliever Britt Reames were traded Thursday from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Montreal Expos for pitchers Dustin Hermanson and Steve Kline.
The move came less than a week after St. Louis failed to sign Mike Hampton, who agreed to a $121 million, eight-year contract with the Colorado Rockies.
"Entering the offseason, we felt that we needed to improve our pitching in order to improve the ballclub," Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty said. "After seeing once again how unsettled the free agent market can be, we turned out attention to the trade route something that has worked well for us in getting value for value."
Hermanson, 27, was 12-14 with a 4.77 ERA in 30 starts and eight relief appearances with the Expos last season. He has a career 47-48 record and 4.17 ERA in 170 games, 122 as a starter.
Hermanson won a career-high 14 games in 1998 with a 3.13 ERA. He has struck out 559 batters in 805 career innings, walking 292.
Kline, 28, fills a void for a quality left-handed reliever. He had 14 saves in 18 chances while serving as the Expos closer for three months this year. He went 1-5 with a 3.50 ERA in 83 games, leaving his career record at 15-19 with a 3.84 ERA.
Both are signed through the 2002 season with club options for 2003.
Tatis, who on March 11 agreed to a $15 million, four-year contract. is the first player to hit two grand slams in an inning, accomplishing the feat in 1999 at Los Angeles. He hit .298 that season with 34 homers, 107 RBIs and 21 stolen bases.
Tatis started strong this year, batting .375 with 28 RBIs in April. But he tore a groin muscle in a game at Philadelphia and missed 54 games and hit just .204 upon his return.
He struggled so badly that he was benched for much of the postseason in favor of Placido Polanco. Tatis wound up hitting .253 with 18 homers and 64 RBIs.
He also struggled defensively in the postseason, committing two costly errors in a Game 4 loss to the Mets in the NL championship series after making only eight errors during the regular season.
Reames, 27, was thought to be an possible starter for the Cardinals next season. A rookie this year, he replaced the injured Andy Benes for a month at the end f the season. He was 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA for eight games, then pitched 9 2-3 innings in the postseason, giving up just one run.
He replaced fellow rookie Rick Ankiel in Game 2 of the NL championship series, allowing one run in 4 1-3 innings. He was a possible pick to start Game 6, but the Cardinals lost in five games to New York.
"Giving up Tatis and Reames was difficult," Jocketty said. "However, we do feel we have enough depth within the organization at third base ... Everyone knows that Reames was an important part of our playoff team last year, but in order to get Kline, we had to include him in the deal."
Polanco and Craig Paquette likely will share duties at third base next season. One of the Cardinals' top minor leaguers, Albert Pujols, is a third baseman but is probably a year away from the major leagues.
Pujols, 20, moved from Class A to Triple-A in his first professional season. At Class-A Peoria, he hit. .324 with 17 homers and 84 RBIs.

Right now, all I can think about is how tired I am. Last week my insomnia kicked in again, and it's still around. For the last week and a half, I've been laying in bed trying to will myself to sleep, and having very little luck. I wake up feeling like I've been hit by a truck, and it sucks. You'd think after all these years of practice, I'd be better at functioning on minimal sleep, but I'm not.
And now that I'm halfway through the second to last week of the semester, I don't think there's going to be a lot of sleep happening.
Basically, my house looks like this all the time.
It's a little overwhelming because I'm so consumed by my short story that I can't focus on anything else. I have a test today that I completely forgot about, because all I've been doing is thinking about this damn story.
Because I'm me, I decided to base my story on real life. But because I've based it on real life, I am completely incapable of just laying everything out there. I've gotten a lot of feedback so far, and basically every word of it has something to do with how I need to "unpack" (I hear that a lot), and be less vague.
What is it with me and my inability to just let go and be real in my stories? I manage to do it in real life without a single issue, but in writing its so much more difficult.
I've tried to assist the process with wine, but it's been pretty rough.
I'm quite certain this story is going to be the death of me. I was up late last night trying to give it a bit more depth, but I don't think I'm getting anywhere. I still have until Tuesday to work on it, and then it's time up. I'm really hoping to get it done before that though, because I have an essay due the day after and I haven't even started thinking about it. Just the idea of writing anything else right now makes my head hurt.
I think I need another coffee.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Conducting Due Diligence of Sub-Advisors and Third-Party Advisors Engaging in due-diligence of sub-advisors isnt just a recommended best practice it is part of the fiduciary obligation to a client. An RIA should be extremely reluctant to enter a relationship with a sub-advisor who claims the firms strategy is proprietary.
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Information This information sheet contains general information about certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and selected rules under the Advisers Act. It also provides information about the resources available from the SEC to help advisors understand and comply with these laws and rules.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Thursday that Kevin Goodman had been named national associate director of the broker-dealer examination program in the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations.
Goodman, who's been the acting national associate director of the program since May while also serving as acting regional director and associate director for the Denver regional office, will oversee a staff of approximately 300 lawyers, accountants and examiners responsible for inspections of U.S.-registered broker-dealers.
"Kevin has excellent judgment and experience," said OCIE Director Andrew Bowden, in a statement. "As national associate director, he will work with our dedicated broker-dealer examination staff to further full compliance with the laws and fair treatment of investors by broker-dealers."
Goodman began his SEC career in 1992 as an attorney-advisor in the Los Angeles Regional Office and was promoted to branch chief, senior special counsel, and assistant director. Before coming to the SEC, he practiced corporate and securities law in the private sector. He graduated from Purdue University in 1982 with a degree in accounting and received his law degree from Indiana University in 1985.
