Thread and Harcus and a few others seems to have a lot of great ideas and I am happy to think we are like minded. Thanks for your input. I do have a few questions.
My KTM dealer has two 500 EXC's on the floor.
Is the price negotiable or does everyone pay MSRP? What is a good deal? What should I ask for?
Second, does anyone make an integrated, hand gaurd, front turn signal mirror or is this my invention? Back of hand guard is LED turn signal like modern sports bikes have on the back sides of the mirrors. Make the inside of the hand guards out of reflective convex plastic to act as a mirror. My F 150 has a convex plastic mirror on the bottom portion of the side mirrors that work well. Not concerned about how effective the mirror is just trying to check the box for two mirrors for the police man. I am a minimalist at heart. This would clean up the DS parts hanging off my "dirt bike". I think one part doing three things is better and saves weight. IMHO Nothing looks worse than turn signals and mirrors hanging off any bike.
Pricing on a new bike is tricky. Tricky because there are several element to the price of the bike...
a. the price the dealer pays - Only the dealer & KTM know. KTM will negotiate w/ a dealer depending on what quty they move.
b. the list price - Not always clear what this includes.
c. shipping - Add $200-400 - Highly variable since most dealers ship more than one bike at a time, truck rates vary, fuel costs, etc
4. dealer prep - Another $200 - 400
e. parts discount - my dealer provides a 10 -20% percen discount on parts to hose who buy from them
f. And then there are farkles - what can you get your dealer to throw in for no cost or lo cost.
Bottom line - Have your dealer break it all down for you so you know.
Additionally, the market impacts price. A dealer here in Salt Lake may not be willing to drop his price much but a dealer in Rigby, ID may drop his price simply because Salt Lake has more traffic. That is happening right now around here. It appears that the northern dealers are hurting more because of the economy. History show there are always bargains out there but how far are you willing to go & who do you want to irritate.
But if you buy from the out of town dealer, you won't get the parts discount...or whatever.
There is something to be said for supporting your local dealer....and he may support you.
Handguard / mirror
There is nothing exactly as you requested. There is...
They are close to what you mentioned but pricey.

Grand jury makes recommendations on juvenile hall
Any felony or violent misdemeanor should be enough to qualify juvenile offenders for confinement in juvenile hall, said a report issued Friday by the Ventura County Grand Jury.
The recommendation was among a dozen the civilian panel made after studying the use of the county's juvenile facility in El Rio. The 420-bed center that opened in 2003 is only half full, a statistic that led to the Grand Jury's study and report.
Jurors tied the low rate of use to reduced crime rates, efforts to divert low-level offenders into community programs and the success of early-intervention programs. The Grand Jury did not criticize the method of assessing which juveniles belong behind bars, but did suggest more studies on effectiveness. Among the recommendations:
n Measuring the rate at which juveniles re-offend.
n Doing a comprehensive study on the county's use of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative, a national model formulated by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Under that model, probation officials try to keep youths out of juvenile facilities unless they are a danger to the community.
n Perform a cost-benefit analysis of all juvenile justice programs in the county.
n Consider recommendations of police in deciding whether to incarcerate, plus improve communications with police.
n Retool a rating system so juveniles are more likely to be held if they have committed repeat offenses.
Alan Hammerand, chief deputy for juvenile facilities, said county officials built the complex larger than needed to have room for the future. Opened in 2003, the locked facility is funded and staffed for 240 youths.
"It's much cheaper to buy and construct beds at one time than build incrementally," he said.
He said the Annie Casey initiative probably was the biggest factor holding down use of the facility.
The intention is you only house minors who are a risk to the community," he said. "In the old days, everybody from truants on up would wind up in juvenile hall."
Hammerand said the agency communicates with and invites the advice of police departments, although more meetings with street-level officers may be needed. Those officers may be legitimately upset when they take a youth to the facility and he isn't booked, Hammerand said.
"We encourage officers to call ahead of time," he said.
Research shows low-level offenders are more likely to turn their lives around if they can be kept away from the serious criminal, he said.
Hammerand said youth committing violent offenses will generally get booked, but he would not advise that for any felony. Many felonies are non-violent drug offenses, he said.
"That's too much of a blanket approach to things," he said.
The Grand Jury asked for responses from the Sheriff's Department, all city police departments and the Probation Agency.

When you're in a high-risk situation, nothing is more important than effective communication to keep you and fellow officers alive. Equipment that keeps you in touch with other tactical officers is invaluable at such times.

Every investigation is a process of elimination. When a crime has been committed it is an investigator's job to narrow the field of possible suspects until he or she can build a case against an individual or a group of individuals.
By Ramesh Nyberg
Every crime scene, like every picture, tells a story. There are times when an obvious piece of evidence, complete with its own documented history, stares us right in the face, and we pass it by.
As a kid growing up in the late 1950s and early '60s, one of the toys I received one Christmas was a Mr. Potato Head. If you're from that era, you may remember Mr. Potato Head. He was a goofy plastic guy, or should I say, "spud," of a thousand faces. Using creativity limited only by your imagination and, of course, available parts, you created faces that only your Mom and maybe Picasso would love.
Back in November I suffered through the San Diego-to-Los Angeles commuter traffic to see many of the new software products and gadgets being shown at the 2004 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference.

By David Griffith
Almost every chief at the show was looking for ways to stretch budgets without compromising public or officer safety and maintaining officer morale and pride.
If you are shooting crime and accident scenes with digital cameras and haven't run into a legal challenge yet, it's probably only a matter of time until your local defense attorneys get more aggressive about questioning your evidentiary images.
You train. And you train a lot. But if you can't detail the relevant results of firearms training and qualifying shoots other than just scoring which officers passed or failed, then you're fueling the fires of allegations and litigation.

Press Release:
Source: Deckers Outdoor Corporation On Thursday May 19, 2011, 4:01 pm
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NASDAQGS:DECK - News) today announced that it has signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire the Sanuk™ brand, an innovative action sport and adventure footwear brand known for its original sandals and shoes and irreverent marketing. The acquisition includes certain assets and liabilities of Sanuk U.S.A. LLC and of C. & C. Partners, LTD., the exclusive licensee for the Sanuk brand in the United States, Europe and Canada.
The total purchase price for the assets of both companies related to the Sanuk brand is an initial payment of approximately $120 million in cash subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and includes additional participation payments based upon performance over the next five years. The combined businesses generated in excess of $43 million of unaudited net sales in 2010.
Based on the expected closing in the third quarter of 2011, due to the seasonality of the business Deckers expects the acquisition of Sanuk to be modestly accretive to earnings for 2011, before transaction costs. Sanuk will remain headquartered in Orange County, California and senior management will continue to manage the brand.
In announcing the definitive agreement, Deckers President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors Angel Martinez, said, "Sanuk is an ideal addition to the Deckers family of brands. It's a profitable, well-run business with a corporate culture similar to ours, and provides substantial growth opportunities, particularly within the action sports market where it has a large and loyal customer base of active outdoor enthusiasts. Its authentic product collections complement our existing portfolio with minimal overlap, and it's a brand that we believe has true global lifestyle potential."
Sanuk (which means "fun" in Thai) was founded in 1997 by entrepreneur Jeff Kelley, whose first product was a sandal made of green indoor-outdoor carpet. With a history of innovation, product invention, foot-friendly comfort and clever branding, Sanuk is now one of the fastest growing footwear brands in the action sports, outdoor and sports markets. Sanuk is currently available in more than 1,700 retailers in 40 countries and at Sanuk.com, and enjoys diverse acceptance across multiple channels including in most surf/action sports retailers, outdoor retailers such as REI, EMS and Bass Pro, specialty retailers Fred Segal and Nordstrom and large chains including Journeys, Dillards and The Buckle.
Added founder Jeff Kelley: "We are excited to join forces with a company of Deckers' caliber and culture. Deckers' specialty and focus is and has always been footwear, and this expertise will help globalize and accelerate Sanuk's growth. The management team at Deckers has a great track record of brand building, and we look forward to accessing the experience, operational expertise and global infrastructure they've built for their family of brands."
In the 14 years since its founding, Kelley and his team have consistently brought creativity, fun and comfort to their line of sandals and shoes for men, women and children. Sanuk's offerings now include the patented Sidewalk Surfer Shoe which effectively introduced the deconstructed footwear movement, the Fraid Not sandal collection, and the Yoga Mat sandal made from yoga mat material, which was cited as the 2010 Product of the Year by the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA). Sanuk continues to build on its authentic position in the surf and outdoor markets through its relationships with prominent professional athletes, known as much for their unique personal styles and charisma as for their specialized talents. Athletes currently working with Sanuk include surfer Dave Rastovich, competitive bouldering champ Sierra Blair-Coyle and rock climbers Chris Sharma, Daniel Woods and Ethan Pringle.
The acquisition, which will be funded by Deckers' existing cash balances and is expected to be completed by the beginning of the third quarter, is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval. Peter J. Solomon Company, L.P. acted as financial advisor and Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth acted as legal advisor to Deckers. Moss Adams Capital, LLC acted as financial advisor and Daniel P. Murphy, L.P. acted as legal advisor to Sanuk USA and C. &C. Partners, LTD.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation strives to be a premier lifestyle marketer that builds niche brands into global market leaders by designing and marketing innovative, functional and fashion-oriented footwear developed for both high performance outdoor activities and everyday casual lifestyle use. Teva®, Simple® Shoes, UGG® Australia, TSUBO®, and Ahnu® are registered trademarks of Deckers Outdoor Corporation. For more information, please visit www.Deckers.com.

Sometimes children do know best. Most children love spending time outdoors and there's research that's established the benefits children get from spending time outside and near nature. But did you know that you can harness the value of play and time spent outdoors to increase support for walking and bicycling to school?
This webinar will feature two speakers who bring the expertise to tell you both WHAT the science says and HOW you can use it to maximize the benefit of your SRTS program. Find out how time spent in parks, on trails, and in natural surroundings can benefit child development, including spillover benefits for observation and safety skills. Learn from a study of families' use of greenways, including things to think about when planning a route. And hear about possible new partners to help children walk and bike to school in the great outdoors.

Senior web developer
United States - Last active: 10/25/2013 - Tests: 8 - Portfolio: 5
Over the last 15 years, I have developed a wide range of websites using HMTL, CSS, PHP, and MySQL including sites for startup companies and small corporations. My core competency lies in complete end-end management of a new website development projects, and I am seeking opportunities to build websites from the ground up for you or your business. I am overly competent in database management and have superior knowledge of internet security from experiences from both ends of the spectrum, I have been a hacker in the past and now use this knowledge to better my penetration testing skills.I have many tools that I use to offer clients that guaranteed the most in depth penetration test of their websites. I charge $125.00 for the test, along with a very in-depth compliance report that will explain all vulnerabilities found to you the client. When you hire me for just programming, not only can you rest assured that you will automatically get a secured script and you will not have to worry about sql, xss and csrf vulnerabilities from any part of the scripts that I write. Security is my main focus when writing a script! I have skills in jquery animation, animations with new technology such as adobe edge currently in prototype stage (which will most likely deprecate flash), I have worked on almost every type of website there is from database driven cms, to static html, from real estate websites to javascript driven penny auctions, I have created gaming websites such as knightcrusaders.com, and I also offer server tuning for those who have dedicated servers and find that their websites are just moving to slow, I can optimize queries, tune mysql and php. Again I do have have over 15 years of experience so if there is something I have not listed feel free to ask and I will let you know if I have the ability to do it! I have taken several of the odesk test in order to ensure the client that I do know what I am talking about, I am in top 20% in a few categories which is by far not an easy accomplishment.

I pride myself on delivering excellent results - on time, under budget with quality that not only meets but exceeds client expectations. My experience has taught me how to prioritize tasks, manage deadlines, handle pressure situations and work as part of a team. I am always willing to take up new challenges and responsibilities. My goal is to make you money. Looks are important because people ignore design that ignores people, and your users/visitors will decide whether to stay on a page/app within first 2-3 seconds. Do you think my rate is too high? Two out of every three clients come to me after having a project developed overseas by a cheaper contractor. Turns out it has failed to meet guidelines or has another problem. Now that client has to pay again as well as invest more time. Rather than go through all of this, I provide a high quality product in as short of time as possible, keeping up with communication the entire time. A few common questions I get: 1. Will you sign my NDA? Yes. Signed and returned usually in the same day. 2. Whats your communication like? Usually within 10 minutes during business hours. I am in the PST time zone. 3. Will you give suggestions or help with the design of the app? Of course, your success is my number one goal. ---- I have worked with these tools and technologies: java, c#, javascript, php, android, jquery, python, html, c++, mysql, ios, css, sql, asp.net, objective-c, .net, ruby-on-rails, c, ruby, ajax, wordpress, node.js, html5, linux, django, angular, oracle, git, apache, bash, perl, laravel, ember.js, emacs, ubuntu

UAMS Northwest vice chancellor pledges $250,000
Posted: July 24, 2014 at 1:10 p.m.
FAYETTEVILLE — The vice chancellor for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Northwest in Fayetteville has pledged a quarter million dollars to support a new physical therapy program on the UAMS Northwest campus in Fayetteville.
Dr. Peter Kohler pledged the deferred gift for use in continued development of the doctor of physical therapy program.
The program is part of the UAMS College of Health Professions and is the first UAMS academic program to be housed solely on the Fayetteville campus. The first 24 students in the program are expected to be enrolled in 2015.
UAMS Northwest opened in 2009 and now has 190 students and resident physicians in programs that include medicine, pharmacy, nursing and allied health professions.

With a stunning nine first-place wins, Japan's Eriko Kurosaki captures this year's top spot on a list comprised of a handful of veteran winners and a surprising number of new faces. Read on to learn the final results and to get acquainted with some of your industry's finest competitors.
After being named runner-up in last year's Salon of the Year Awards, Shelly Morley, a nail technician at Salon Elite in Prescott, Ariz., was determined to take the top prize at this year's awards. Not that she didn't like being named one of the top three nail technicians in the country. It's just that coming so close to being Nail Technician of the Year – one point away from winning, in fact – only fueled her desire to obtain the top spot.

Candlewood Suites Philadelphia-Willow Grove
July 04, 2015
Great place to stay. Not a brand new facility, but in a good condition.
Great Hotel
July 02, 2015
Everything was great. Room was wonderful for the price, very clean and had everything we needed. Just a few small issues. The back stairway smelled very bad, like trash or bad seafood. When we first arrived there were a few employees outside in the parking lot talking very loud and swearing when we walked by with children, they looked right at us and didn't stop, we thought that was kinda rude, but otherwise all the employees were nice. And the cupboard seemed to be low on stock so we didn't use it. I didn't get any recognition for being an IHG club member.
unexpectedly delightful
July 01, 2015
Candlewood Suites exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked into my room until the moment I left it was a very positive experience. The desk staff was caring and helpful. The large room was appreciated. The only two things that could improve this facility would be a hair dryer and a hot tub.

Originally written on Phillies Nation | Last updated 12/18/12
The Phillies have maintained interest in acquiring a right-handed, power-hitting outfield bat and Jon Heyman says that Vernon Wells is among their top targets. Heyman notes Cody Ross also remains on the Phillies' radar. Analysis: Wells has been an absolute trainwreck for the Angles since they acquired him at the start of the 2011 season. His lines of .218/.248/.412 and .230/.279/.403 made him one of baseball's worst part time players at one of its greatest overall costs. Wells is due $21 million each of the next two seasons. At this price, Ross looks like a clearance bin purchase.

Josh decided he wanted to go to Sea World San Diego and and Disneyland for his birthday. We headed down Friday night, went to a VERY busy Disneyland, had dinner, did one attraction and left for our hotel.
Saturday we woke up, drove down to Sea World and had a totally awesome, stress free day.
We were joined at Sea World by my Mom and our friend Ashlee and her 2 year old son Dylan.

Only 3,615 pieces are believed to have been struck of this issue, from March 25 through May 2, 1797. Breen only knew of one coin that showed an unbroken obverse. Apparently, this awkwardly arranged die, with 12 stars left and 4 right, broke shortly after being put into commission. This is an earlier striking as the crack is apparent in the lower right field but is not present yet on Liberty's neck and jaw. Of the 25-30 pieces believed known, perhaps 5-6 are extant today in Uncirculated. This piece is tied for finest certified with two other coins, one other at NGC and one at PCGS. The surfaces show bright green-gold coloration and satiny mint luster. There are, however, striking and surface problems that account for the grade. While strong on the reverse, the strike is irregular on the obverse with incomplete details on Liberty's mouth and over the ear. Numerous small abrasions are scattered over each side with several larger marks on the face of Liberty. Nevertheless, this is a scarce opportunity for the specialist to acquire this issue, the rarest of the three years the Small Eagle designed was produced.(#8555) (Registry values: P7) (NGC ID# 25ZX, PCGS# 8555)

Are we in a new age of business ownership? That's a question pondered by Steven Faulkner, head of J.P. Morgan's private business advisory unit, for some time now. He figures that 60% of his current business-owning clients want to sell their stakes outright. That's flipped from the pre-2008 days when 60% wanted to keep the business in the family.
What changed? During the recession, even steely business owners were forced to cut costs as revenue declined, Faulkner says. "Business owners thought they could control their business but realized that they couldn't control the broader economy." After a bit of soul searching, many of the entrepreneurs revisited their initial plans to pass on ownership to their children. Faulkner recalls many worried clients confessing, "'I don't know if my children are prepared to navigate the business through a difficult economic experience like [the '08 recession] and I don't want them to go through that.'"
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 26% of businesses survive 15 years or more, so business owners today are just being more realistic and making a calculated decision to sell. But Faulkner says he has worked with privately-held businesses for sixteen years—and was a corporate lawyer before that—and he has never seen such gloomy expectations. "I don't know if this is a paradigm shift going forward, or if this is something that reverts back to the pre-recession norm," Faulkner says.
Blackstone Group, the giant private-equity fund manager, is increasingly targeting wealthy individuals to invest in its offerings. Big institutional investors still provide the vast majority of capital for these alternative investments, but their commitments haven't kept pace with fund-raising needs. That has prompted firms like Blackstone to go after well-heeled investors and their financial advisors to help fill the gap.
The shortfall has opened an opportunity for wealthy investors interested in diversifying their portfolios to include buyout, venture-capital, real estate, and various hedge funds. Account minimums have come down considerably to accommodate individuals, though the fees still make the funds pricey investments.
Blackstone's (ticker: BX) efforts already are bearing fruit. The company says that roughly 12% of its $310 billion in assets under management comes from high-net worth investors, more than twice the 5% they provided in 2008. Carlyle Group (CG) and KKR & Co. (KKR) also are hunting for individuals' money. Overall, high-net-worth investors made up 10% of the money raised for private-equity funds closed between 2012 and 2014, versus 3% in 2009 to 2011, according to private-equity tracker Preqin. In contrast, public pension funds' total contributions dropped from 28% to 22%. "I expect you'll see a lot more coming in from individual investors," said David Rubenstein, co-founder of Carlyle Group, on a recent conference call.
A week ago Friday, while throngs gathered at Apple's (ticker: AAPL) flagship store on Fifth Avenue and 58th Street to get a first feel of the Apple Watch, I popped into the Montblanc boutique around the corner on Madison Avenue, for a chat with the other world of watches, the world of traditional, mechanical beauty. Montblanc, known for its elegant pens but also in more recent times a maker of watches, is owned by luxury goods conglomerate, Richemont (CFR.)
My guide was Alexander Schmiedt, Montblanc's director of watches. He was sporting a recent addition to Montblanc's portfolio, the $7,500 Heritage Chronométrie Quantième Annuel, in a stainless steel version, which becomes available in July. (The current version, in 18-karat gold, can be seen on the Montblanc Website.)
It's a classic example of the smart space Montblanc is carving out for itself – sophisticated mechanical watches, even if derivative of other brands, at some of the best price points to be found in the market. Montblanc is becoming the value buy in mechanical watches.
Or as Schmiedt explains it, Montblanc has worked its way into the top 20 of luxury Swiss watch makers by bringing greater and greater value into existing price ranges, granting greater functionality than traditionally expected, a point he came back to as we talked about the riotous present being led by Apple.
Note to wealthy entrepreneurs: Concentrated stock positions are dangerous to your financial health.
That insight comes from a JPMorgan Asset Management study aptly titled "The Agony & The Ecstasy: The risks and rewards of a concentrated stock position." In this study, Michael Cembalest, investment strategist for JPMorgan Asset Management, analyzed the 13,000 companies in the Russell 3000 between 1980 and 2014. He found that roughly 40% of the publicly-traded companies had suffered a "catastrophic loss" in value, defined as a 70% decline or more from its peak value which never recovered more than 10% of that original value.
That's an important stat. Most entrepreneurs hang onto their legacy stock position, claiming that even through the hard times their original cost-basis was very low, so, despite short term blips, over the long run they still come out ahead. Cembalest recalls the roller-coaster history of Cisco Systems (ticker: CSCO). The company peaked above $80 in 2000, plummeted 86% when the dot com bubble burst, and then in more recent years tripled from its lows hit in 2002. Cisco has returned 27% since inception versus 8% for the Russell 3000. In other words, it was a bumpy ride for long-term shareholders but they were rewarded for their patience.
Nice – but Cisco is an outlier. The median stock in the JPMorgan study underperformed the Russell 3000 by 54%. In fact, two-thirds of the 13,000 companies couldn't best the index. Break those numbers down further and some sectors fared even worse. The median utility and energy firms that came to market underperformed the Russell 3000 by more than 90%.
Looking for a watch to set you apart? My everyday watch is the rectangular-shaped Vintage 1945 by Girard-Perregaux, an under-the-radar Swiss luxury brand founded in 1791. In a world dominated by round-faced dials, rectangular watches set you apart, their hint of Art Deco styling instantly conveying good taste, particularly when the sides and face are in the right proportion. Cartier's Tank and Jaeger leCoultre's Reverso are generally the oldest and best-known rectangular watches ever made.
But, over at the New York viewing rooms of auctioneer Phillips, ogling wrist candy coming up for sale in Geneva on May 9th and 10th, I saw some rectangular watches that wound-up tight my envy spring. Rectangular watches accounted for just 5% of the 224 watches coming under the Phillips hammer, I estimated, but it's precisely their uniqueness that made them stand out. Here are my favorite four –
This 1954 yellow-gold Patek
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund—the $866 million-asset foundation started in 1940 by John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s five sons—announced in September that the family would divest itself of all their coal, tar-sands, and fossil-fuel investments held in the fund's endowment. The eight Rockefeller family trustees and nine outside board members decided the fund needed "to better align its endowed assets with its mission" of combating climate change.
The irony of Standard Oil's heirs shedding fossil fuels wasn't lost on the media. "Rockefeller Brothers Fund forsakes its legacy," screeched the tabloid headline of normally polite NPR. The fund holds less than 5% of its portfolio in fossil fuels, down from 7% when it began divesting in 2014, and it has reduced its coal and tar-sands assets to just 0.8% of the overall endowment. RBF hopes its endowment will be fossil-fuel free in the next three years.
Seven months after the announcement, Penta circled back with a pointed question: Where are the Rockefeller heirs reinvesting their former "dirty" money? The answer: clean technologies like solar and wind energy. Some readers might roll their eyes, but we're giving them a pass. The Rockefeller family foundation is shrewdly leveraging its asset base, not just its grants, to have more impact in the family's chosen field of battling climate change. "If we're only using the 5% we're required to pay out each year in grants," reasons Stephen Heintz, president of RBF, "we're underutilizing our assets."
Clean-energy investments will eventually make up as much as 10% of the fund's overall endowment. But earning healthy returns from a portfolio is rather important, too. Will their squeaky-clean investments fare better than fossil fuels? It's too soon to tell, concedes 35 year-old Justin Rockefeller, RBF trustee and son of John D. the fourth. "But it's obviously helped us that the price of oil dropped," he says, before dryly adding that there are "some conspiracy theories out there."
Justin argues that his family's controversial move away from its historic ties to the fossil-fuel industry is a plus for the foundation's environmental mission—just "another tool in our tool belt to help have an impact on the world."
Behavioral finance – the study of how human nature and psychology inadvertently affects investment decisions – has arrived at the family office. Even star money managers fall victim to basic behavioral mistakes, says Clare Flynn Levy, founder of Essentia Analytics, a behavioral finance software company for money managers.
Flynn Levy cracks her laptop to give Penta a demo. Essentia's software crunches all of a firm's trading data and lays all the patterns out for fund managers to peruse. On Flynn Levy's screen is a smattering of zig-zagging line graphs and scatter plots that reveals patterns, like overtrading during the late afternoon, when crabby traders begin to lose their focus, or a portfolio manager who holds their short positions for months, even after their own conviction has waned.
Not all of this is immediately apparent, though, when looking at the tangled web of data. That's why Essentia's team sits down with fund managers to help sort through the big trends weighing on returns and delicately coaches them on solutions. "If a fund manager is more cognizant about how their mood impacts their investing that can only be a good thing," Flynn Levy says. For such reasons, the technology can also email questions to managers like "How many hours of sleep did you get last night?" or the slightly more intrusive "How many alcoholic beverages did you have last night?" But just such a prompt can make a trader think a little harder about placing that buy or sell order on that particular day.
At a more advanced level, the Essentia system helps managers track their evolving investment thesis about a particular stock by tagging the stock's ticker and then typing out their developing thoughts about the stock into the software's journal tool. These entries are stored in Essentia's system so managers can punch up their evolving thinking about a particular company and get notifications on big news announcements.
Watch Cary Grant lather up with a shaving brush in North by Northwest, or Jon Hamm do so in Mad Men, and smearing your beard with foam from a can could suddenly seem downright dreary.
Shaving brushes, as it happens, are soaring in popularity, part of a broader resurgence in traditional shaving practices. Brush sales have tripled in the past three years, according to Perma Brands, a distributor of premium shaving products to retailers, including popular online stores such as TheGroomingLounge.com, ClassicShaving.com, and WestCoastShaving.com.
Brushes have multiple benefits, including mild exfoliation and increased production of lather to protect the skin. They also coax whiskers outward, making it easier to cut them clean away. Brushes that cost as little as $10 are usually made with synthetic or boar bristles. Models with the best grades of badger hair and handles made of the most exotic materials fetch $500, or more.
Think the portfolio recommended by your private banker is truly diversified? Think again, says Ronald Florance, founder of RMF Consulting, an advisory for foundations and wealthy families. Most U.S. investors have as much as 75% of their portfolios tied up in the U.S. Add in the overwhelming bullishness about domestic equities, Florance says, and the situation "makes me really nervous."
Florance claims clients should instead allocate assets on a truly global scale – with as much as 35% of a client's overall portfolio invested in stocks, bonds, alternatives and hard assets abroad. This type of portfolio, he argues, should be able to take advantage of the "enormous potential for growth" around the world.
Heard it all before and unconvinced? At a recent CFA Institute conference in New Orleans, Florance rattled off a number of colorful facts about global consumers around the world. Stats like, there are more Air Jordan shoes sold in China than anywhere in the world. Florance's presentation also showed a map with one large circle encompassing countries like China, India, Japan and Indonesia with a caption that read "there are more people living inside this circle than outside of it."
"I guarantee your client's portfolios don't look like that," he said to the audience of financial advisors, before advocating for a portfolio that captures this remarkable population growth overseas and the steady "rise of the global consumer."
Looking to own a truly unique watch that serious collectors will want to rip off your wrist? Barron's Penta has arranged for its readers to get the first exclusive look at the IWC Portofino Monopusher Edition "Tribeca Film Festival 2015," a one-of-a-kind concrete-gray and blood-orange-red dress watch made by Switzerland's IWC Schaffhausen–to be sold purely for the benefit of the Tribeca Film Institute.
The TFI is a nonprofit that supports dynamic but struggling filmmakers with grants and technical support; it was founded immediately after 9/11 by Robert De Niro and his partners, alongside the affiliated Tribeca Film Festival.
The Tribeca Portofino watch will be auctioned online at Christie's between April 1 and April 10, with the entire proceeds benefitting the TFI and the filmmakers it supports. Bundled with the watch: VIP access to the Tribeca Film Festival, a special gala dinner hosted by IWC, and luxury hotel accommodation in New York City during the April 15-26 film festival.
Written with Barron's wit and often contrarian perspective, Penta provides the affluent with advice on how to navigate the world of wealth management, how to make savvy acquisitions ranging from vintage watches to second homes, and how to smartly manage family dynamics.
Richard C. Morais, Penta's editor, was Forbes magazine's longest serving foreign correspondent, has won multiple Business Journalist Of The Year Awards, and is the author of two novels: The Hundred-Foot Journey and Buddhaland, Brooklyn. Robert Milburn is Penta's reporter, both online and for the quarterly magazine. He reviews everything from family office regulations to obscure jazz recordings.

WLAN Test Solution
VeriWave announces a real-world Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over WLAN test solution. The VeriWave VoIP over WLAN Analysis Test Suite assesses voice quality metrics of real-world VoIP over WLAN networks. It analyzes traffic prioritization, evaluates the network behavior in the presence of non-voice traffic and measures overall call quality when users roam between Wireless LAN Access Points. The suite provides open-air testing of mixed voice/data networks. It supports a variety of real handsets to generate voice traffic—scaling the network capacity from a single handset to the maximum number of handsets the network can support before voice quality degrades to below user-acceptable levels. VeriWave's test suite also evaluates mixed use networks, by introducing controlled data traffic to the networks, generated by VeriWave's WaveTest Traffic Generator/Performance Analyzer. In addition to creating the base-line quality measurements of a VoIP over WLAN only network, the test suite adds background data traffic to evaluate how the wireless network handles voice call prioritization in the presence of controlled data traffic and assesses individual call quality when handsets roam between Wireless Access Points.

About 15 minutes into my ride, I find myself on a very narrow, but paved, road. It wasnt very well maintained, but there werent any indications of it being private either, so I keep pressing on. There was a gate, but could tell it hadnt been used in many, many years. It also looked like there were more than just one house/farm ahead, so I didnt feel like I was in someones driveway. The asphalt soon ended, and before I knew it I was on this really nice road/trail.
While stopped to take the above picture... as Im putting my phone back in its place, I see a single headlight approaching quickly in my mirrors. I had noticed a GoldWing at a farm a little ways back, so that was my first thought, but didnt think this sandy road was much of a place for a 700+lb bike. I kill the engine and wait for his arrival. He pulls up next to me and turns off his bike. Hes interested in what I was up to and where I was headed. I told him that I was just out exploring, and asked if this was private property. Sure enough, it was the property owner. I quickly apologized, telling him that if there had been any signs indicating that it was, or closed gates, that I wouldnt have even considering passing. I showed him my GPS, telling him that at least Google thinks theres a road through his property, and then discussed my planned route. We actually talked for quite awhile - real nice guy. He asked me where I was from, about my rig and then told me I was welcome to proceed and explore his property. He said there was a gate at the other end (where I was headed), and it might be locked and have to backtrack, and if so, just to stop by his place on my way out so he knows I made it out safely. He said his main concern is lawsuits - if someone comes onto his property and gets injured... and that its sad our legal system has made this such a common practice.
He pulled up ahead of me and amazingly proceeded to turn his bike around in this stuff. He managed just fine, thanks to his handy dandy reverse gear.
I take off then, thanking him again and headed out, following my tracks. I never made it to any gate - one dead end after another. Where my Garmin was telling me to turn, there wasnt even a trail, just a foot or two of grass (I think power lines ran through there), and I wasnt sure the landowner actually intended for me to go offroading to that extent, even though he seemed familiar with where my tracks led to, taking me past a couple large ponds in that direction, etc. So I turned around for the last time and headed out, feeling somewhat guilty about being there in the first place. I stopped at the place with the GoldWing out front, and saw him and a couple others doing some fence work. I talked to him for several minutes again. He told me he liked my rig, talked about living in the country, farming, and grass root values (he said most people dont even know what that really is...). I told him I grew up on a farm with all the typical animals, 20K broilers every 10-12 weeks or so, milking cows (by hand), haying, you name it. It obviously scored brownie points with him, as I could tell he knew then that I understood what he had been talking about and wasnt just some city boy. He told me that Im welcome to come back and ride and get as muddy as Id like on his property any time I want to. Dont know that I will, but it was nice that he offered.
Another shot of the trail on his property.

Sandoval has also managed to burnish his image with a patina of integrity in the scandal-scarred Silver State.
For Palin, of course, Israel also offers a chance to burnish her famously weak foreign policy credentials.
This means that even women who are not employed in factories will get the chance to burnish career-building skills.
early 14c., from Old French burniss- present participle stem of burnir, metathesis of brunir "to shine, gleam, sparkle" (trans.), "to polish, make sparkle, make bright, shine," from brun "brown; polished," from a Germanic source (cf. Old High German brun, Old Norse brunn "bright, polished; brown;" see brown (adj.)). The connection to "brown" might be explained if the original objects in mind were wooden ones.

So, unlike apparently so many other gamers I don't have the time or stamina to blaze through games in a single evening/sitting. I have to play through my games in small spurts in my evenings after the wife and kid are asleep. I decided to pre-order my copy of Bioshock Infinite on PC along with the Season Pass so I got some in-game bonuses but I didn't know when I was supposed to see them or find them in-game. Yesterday I visited the "Steam Community" area and found some threads with my same concerns/questions but no solution. So, when I visited the "Steam Community" again today to see what the latest was on the DLC bonuses not showing up in-game I was unfortunately greeted to a huge text spoiler at the top of the page. So, be warned if you haven't finished the game and have the urge to browse the "Steam Community" section for a solution/update to an issue you are having.
They could really use some spoiler tag code there to avoid this crap.

The cuisine of Goa, a former Portuguese colony, is an exuberant amalgam of Portugal and India. Liberal use of Portuguese vinegar, along with hot chiles (an import from the New World) and spices, produces the scarlet-hued vindaloo curries typical of this state.
The following outstanding Goan seafood curry a milder variation of vindaloo, and with lime juice replacing the vinegar features clams steamed with sautéed onion, spices, and fresh coconut milk. They are then tossed with grated coconut, cilantro, and a squirt of lime juice and are generally accompanied by a pao, a soft, warm roll (another Portuguese contribution) for sopping up the juices. This dish is equally good with mussels or oysters.
YIELD: Serves 4 as a first course
Finely chop onion and scrub clams In a 5- to 6-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onion and gingerroot, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add spices and salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coconut milk and bring to a gentle boil. Add clams and boil mixture gently, covered, stirring occasionally, until clams are opened, 6 to 8 minutes. (Discard any unopened clams.)
Serve clams in bowls with cooking liquid and sprinkle with lime juice, cilantro, and grated coconut.

Bihar a north Indian state has been lagging behind most of the other states in India in terms of growth and economy. While the other states rushed ahead and embraced changes, Bihar took its own sweet time to join the development bandwagon. As the focus shifted towards development of infrastructure and other facilities, more and more people started buying cars in Bihar. Although it might sound strange to know, the improved law and order conditions too helped in the growth of demand for cars in the state. This is because compared to early years, the rate of kidnapping, extortion and other vices has come down, and people are now not afraid to buy cars. Thus, the state benefitted from better governance in many ways and the automobile industry too had reaped the benefits of the same.
Like the other parts of India, Bihar also has a preferential pattern when it comes to cars. Here is a look at some of the best selling cars in Bihar:
Mahindra Bolero – The Bolero is a sturdy SUV that seem to be a favourite among the car buyers of Bihar. One of the reasons for this preference could be that the Bolero can easily navigate through all kinds of tough terrains. As the roads and other infrastructure are not yet very good, using a sturdy car like this makes a lot of sense. A rough and tough SUV, the Bolero is able to perform well even under adverse conditions. Mahindra Scorpio, another best selling SUV from Mahindra also enjoys great demand in Bihar for the same reason.
Maruti Celerio – When Maruti introduced the Celerio last year, it found a lot of demand in various parts of the country. The AMT technology of the Celerio found many takers in Bihar too. Accordingly, the car was sold in great numbers in this state, following high demand for it. Likewise, other small cars from Maruti like Alto K10 and Swift also find great demand in Bihar. They are also among the best selling cars in the state.

Apart from these cars, there are many other best selling cars in Bihar. The preferences of the buyers change according to the time and availability of resources at their disposal. Hence, one can see that in big towns like Patna, the best selling cars include premium cars as well.
