Re: Letters to the Editor
Date: December 28, 2005
First off, in the interest of total disclosure, let me state for the record that I am a proud liberal Democrat and proud to call myself a friend of Buck Smith's. Furthermore, I have never served in the military. With that out of the way, I would like to respond to the comments made by the "understandably) "Anonymous" individual attacking Mr. Smith's "Don't divide town" letter to the editor of December 19 in the "Tiff with Smith" SpeakOut column of December 27.
To begin with, I would like to address two points of fact referenced in the SpeakOut column:
The (understandably) "Anonymous" individual made mention of the quotation, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". This is commonly mis-attributed to Voltaire, but in actuality comes from Voltaire biographer Evelyn Beatrice Hall in her 1906 biography The Friends of Voltaire written under the pseudonym "S.G. Tallentyre" as being a statement consistent with Voltaire's philosophy.
Secondly, (understandably) "Anonymous" referred to the "'perverse' imitators and interpreters who came up with 'Separation of Church and State'". That "perverse" individual was Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and 3rd President of the United States. In an 1802 letter to the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptist Association, Jefferson wrote:
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
Any rational individual, regardless of political stripe, can see that it was Mr. Smith's sincere goal in his letter of December 19 to dial down the increasingly shrill tone of what now passes for political discourse today in this country; to ask, "Why can't we disagree without being disagreeable?" In my opinion, it is a worthy and noble goal.
(Understandably) "Anonymous" clearly strives for yet an even higher pitch of shrill; foaming of the mouth, spoiling for a fight. (Understandably) "Anonymous" apparently sees the chasm dividing us altogether too narrow. Why not increase it beyond the point of breaking? If the country comes apart at the seams, then so be it. Let's just keep "pushing the envelope", so to speak.
Exactly how close can this country get to a totalitarian dictatorship and still call itself a democratic Republic with a straight face? . . .what with preemptive war, an all too compliant Congress leaving Presidential powers all but totally unchecked, warrant-less detainment of American citizens and eavesdropping of their communications, (non) torture of "enemy" detainees, Constitutional liberties conveniently tossed aside in the name of "security", and all the rest.
(Understandably) "Anonymous", don't you realize that with Americans at each other's throats, our country is disrepute nearly everywhere abroad, our treasury depleted by half a trillion dollars, our military nearing the breaking point and our once-cherished Constitution laying in tatters, not to mention the lives lost, bodies broken and families devastated. . .the "Islamic Jihadist Murderers", as you call them, are achieving their goal of seeing the destruction of America without firing a single shot, hijacking a single plane or setting off a single bomb on American soil since this misguided President's wildly over-reactive response to the dreadful attacks of September, 11, 2001?
In times like these I am mindful of another quotation from one of our wise founding fathers. At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall when he was asked by a woman:
"Well Doctor, what have we got? A Republic or a Monarchy?"
Franklin replied, "A Republic. . .if you can keep it."
Well, (Understandably) "Anonymous", do you think we can keep it? Or do you think we should even try?

Maybe you don't think it's necessary to know these education terms. Diane Ravitch thinks otherwise.
Education, like most professions, has its own unique vocabulary that is often unfamiliar to outsiders. But unlike those of other professions, Ravitch contends, the language of education must be clear and intelligible to all. Because education in large part determines the future of our society, economy, and culture, it's crucial that education issues be understood by the general public. And to understand the issues, we need to understand the specialized language used in the field.
In this book, Ravitch demystifies the often-obscure and ever-changing lingo of the education field. With more than 500 entries, EdSpeak translates what Ravitch refers to as the "strange tongue" of pedagogese into plain English, adding historical context and lively commentary along the way.
This glossary will serve as a valuable resource both for veteran educators who need to stay abreast of newly emerging terminology and for newcomers to the profession--be they teachers, administrators, parents, students, or just citizens who care about what happens in the classroom.

The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams
The Glass Menagerie Weakness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Scene.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a big long monologue.
Quote #13
"Mother, you mustn't expect too much of Laura."
"What do you mean?"
"Laura seems all those things to you and me because she's ours and we love her. We don't even notice she's crippled anymore." (5.120-5.122, Tom and Amanda).
Tom is more aware of Laura's nature than Amanda.
Quote #14
"Laura is very different from other girls."
"…in the eyes of others—strangers—she's terribly shy and lives in a world of her own and those things make her seem a little peculiar to people outside the house."
"She lives in a world of her own—a world of little glass ornaments, Mother…She plays old phonograph records and—that's about all—" (5.126, 5.128, 5.132, Tom).
Tom understands that Laura uses the glass and the Victrola to escape from the world, but never is able to explicitly connect that he and his sister are doing the same thing.
Quote #15
"I knew that Jim and Laura had known each other at Soldan, and I had heard Laura speak admiringly of his voice. I didn't know if Jim remembered her or not. In high school Laura had been as unobtrusive as Jim had been astonishing." (6.1, Tom).
Jim presents a character with the opposite of Laura's fragility, which may be why she is so drawn to him.

Great shoe most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. However they are sized a half size small so I wish I would have gone a half size up. They fit to your foot like a sock and you feel like you are walking on pillows. ... read more
I had to play around to get the sizing right and the shoes did rub my ankles a little at first, but once they were broken in, they were fine. I have high arches so lightweight shoes are hard for me to wear. So I really liked the arch support and the weight of these shoes a lot. I purchased them either in Jan or Feb and just noticed today that the bottoms are pretty worn through. I've run 2 5Ks, 2 10Ks, and usually run at least 5 miles a week, so these shoes have gotten a lot of use, but i'm still replacing them a solid 5-11 months sooner than I've ever replaced any other pair. That's something to keep in mind if your mileage is heavy! ... read more
I wanted something that was fitting so I can wear it by itself or on top of something. This is really nice! It's very thin, so it's not exactly a good "warm" jacket, but more of like a track jacket, which is what it is. The zipper pockets are nice as well- they hold a lot of things! I like this jacket overall, and would recommend it! ... read more
Possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever had on my feet, whether for basketball or not. Boost is awesome but unfortunately they come with a tissue paper thin insole. And seeing as how the cushion thins out at the ball of the foot, I recommend putting a thicker one in if you decide to buy. Biggest problem however is the traction. Initially it's incredible, not very squeaky but the pattern makes it incredible nonetheless. But then after about three weeks of strictly indoor play it starts to fray and goes downhill fast. Now I can pretty much expect to slide. Hopefully there'll be a version in the future with a more durable traction but until then it's not worth $150. ... read more
The style is quite impressive but the comfortability in the shoe is quite comfortable... it feels as if most of the time I'm barefooted ! the only thing is i wish the continental tires at the sole of the foot would last a bit longer than it does. ... read more
This product is much bigger than the other pants in a small size. I have other Adidas pants in a size small and I was shocked to see how big these pants were. It is misleading and I'm going to do an exchange . ... read more
The shoes are very stylish and fit true to size. However, the shoes rubbed the skin off of my achilles tendon, making it hard to walk because of the pain. They're also made cheaply and not worth $100, in my opinion. I can see glue along the sides and the fabric is cheap. You are paying mostly for the Adidas label. But if you're focus is mainly on branding and looks, I'd definitely recommend you to purchase these shoes. ... read more
These shoes and I don't pair well. This shoe is comfortable enough to walk in, but that's about it. First, I am a pretty true 6.5 when is comes to sneakers, this fit slightly short where my big toe would rub a tad against the top of the shoe with any forward movement. The boost "technology" is awesome If you're looking for a shoe with lots of cushion and bounce. I guess for me I look for a shoe that sits a little closer to the ground so I can have more stability. The gap at the bottom of the arch also contributes to that feeling of lack of stability. My feet end up hurting and feeling achy after wearing these for a gym session. I also tried doing a short run and these just killed my feet. ... read more
BEST SHOE EVER! Love using this shoe for short runs, weight lifting and doing bootcamp style workouts. Your foot feels amply supported around the foot; like it's being hugged! The boost cushioning is super springy and responsive which is great for jumping! ... read more
The shoes are super comfortable. Like walking on a cloud. The bad news is the heal seam placement has rubbed a substantial blister on my foot. I fixed this issue by wearing thicker, longer socks but it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place with such expensive shoes. ... read more
I wanted a lightweight pair of shoes for just running around in. My regular running shoes are just too bulky. These are perfect. I have wide feet and because of the sock like fit, they work perfectly. The backs come up too high on my ankle, but I just rolled them down a bit and it stays. I love the way it wraps my arch. I have plantar fasciitis and wear orthotics in my running shoes, but I can walk all day without pain in these. I tried a little run in them, but I need more cushion in my running shoes. I wouldn't hesitate wearing them to Disneyland all day though. I have the cute floral pair and I now need to buy another more neutral pair to wear with more things. ... read more
I have a callus on the ball of my right foot which might be painful especially during running and I need a running shoes with a good support . I was really happy with my previous shoes the ULTRA BOOST ST running shoes, but after using them for more than 400 miles only running, I had to get new running shoes to prevent myself from injury. I tried the ULTRA BOOST UNCAGED running shoes and they felt really comfortable. I am enjoying my runs as well and not complaining at all. It is slighty tight from the top and it is leaving some marks on the skin of the foot, but rather than that is is very comfortable. ... read more
Although the traction grooves were shallow, the patten held up and worker fine. Full length boost is the best cushion setup around, and is a bit bouncier than the CL Boost 2016 boost. The primeknit is stretchy and comfortable, with no glue getting in the way. The fit and support is very good, due to the good lacing system and interior features of the shoe. ... read more
Great shoe, but I had a major problem. The shoe gave me a horrible cut/blister near my ankle from the inner padding. Was bothering me while playing but not too bad. But after the cut was to painful for me to walk around comfortably for a few days. Everything else about the shoe is PERFECT. Materials are awesome. Cushion is the best ever. My knees felt like I hadn't even played. However, the blister I got was so bad I never tried them again and will be returning them. Shame, might just be an issue with me and my foot, but personally it was still an issue. Maybe just bad luck. ... read more
As someone who works out 5 out of 7 days, that has begun to impement 2-3 miles into my daily routine i have tried and disliked a multitude of shoes..from flyknits to prestos to air max to metcons...after trying these on my search is over. these are BY FAR the most comfortable running shoes I have ever worn. Already ordering a pair for my girlfriend! ... read more
Great shoe. Fit the exact same as the regular Ultra Boost. However, the back of the collar (the part that touches your Achilles tendon), tends to wear into my skin and cause open wound blisters. Not a fan of that at all. Great styling however. ... read more
One of the best running shoes ever! I felt I could keep going. Only thing, Don't wear no show socks after 11 mile run. With the top being socklike it rubs the back side of my foot. Easy fix, higher socks. Plus I have narrow feet so if you have a larger foot it will be snug fit. ... read more
My first Utra Boost and I am pleasantly surprised. I have been trying it out now for a little over 2 weeks and this shoe lives up to the hype of most comfortable shoe. Nice silhouette, the boost is plush and the upper hugs around your foot. I wear them casually but these can be used for running. The heal cup prevents your foot from slipping of the foot bed and you can use the laces for a better lock down. I would definitely recommend these! ... read more
I love these shoes for the most part. They fit perfect on me and are pretty comfortable BUT the leather heel destroyed my heels :( I decided to wear them out while doing errands and not even 5 minutes in I was in so much pain. I had to fold the back part down. I hope maybe over time they'll break in a little? ... read more
This shoe is interesting. It looks great in pictures but in reality, the material on the toe box - that reverse-studded neoprene - looks cheap in person. This shoe's sole is very comfortable BUT it is a bit narrow for a size 9 (what I normally wear). It also has terrible breathability. Upon closer inspection, some of the the dimples on the polyester are actual perforations but the majority are not. This shoe becomes an oven very quickly. The material on the back of the shoe (the white) is very nice. Overall, shoe is disappointing since it looks and feels worse than what I'd expect from adidas. ... read more
Don't get me wrong I love these shoes. They look great, and they are the most comfortable shoes I have tried, my issue with the shoes is that wearing them cause me serious knee pains, which I'm glad to report that after a few days not wearing the shoes it gets better. But as soon as I wear them again the pain is back.. I am not sure whether it is an issue with my pair of shoes,This could be just affecting me, but it makes me not able to wear them anymore. ... read more
Sock like fit, get 1/2 size bigger than your normal size, after you wear it for a while, it gets a bit loose and really comfy, I wear this for running as well as just casual shoes, sometimes I think they're even better than UB, but these 2 models are on topof my rotation. ... read more
These uncaged UB's are extremely comforfortable!! It's like wearing a super cushioned sock. The primeknit just hugs your foot, and allows freedom of movement when you need it. I won't be doing any running in them, but it probably won't be a problem if you wanted to. I would suggest going a half sized down in these, since there isn't a great deal of padding around the ankles. ... read more
I have long been an ultra boost fan, but these are off the chain. I love the sock-like fit, and they are beyond comfortable to run it. Super super stylish, I got the light grey and I love the subtle 3 stripes on the toe! Adidas knocked it out of the park with these. ... read more
I LOVE these shoes. I'm a fitness instructor and I only buy Adidas shoes. I have both the Ultra Boost and Ultra Boost Uncaged for running. The Uncaged has more cushioning on the ball of the foot vs. the 1st gen. Ultra Boost. On the 1st gen. there is a slight forward lean (less forefoot cushioning) that assists with forward propulsion while running. Since the Uncaged has more forefoot cushioning, that forward lean is gone, but I also love the extra cushioning. The 1st gen. is a little more snug in the toe box, where as the Uncaged has just a little bit more room. I love the sock fit at the ankle and the padding inside the heel cup feels amazing. The Continental rubber sole also provides a more noticeable grip on the ground over the 1st gen, but I believe you can get the Continental rubber sole on the 1st gen. also. You can't go wrong with the 1st gen. or the Uncaged. Both are amazing. I personally own 2 pair (1st gen & Uncaged), I have bought my fiance 2 pair (both 1st gen) and I recently bought my 15 year old daughter a pair (1st gen). She started band camp and was using a different pair of running shoes that left her with blisters on her toes after marching for 5 hours. She switched to her Ultra Boost and I haven't heard one complaint about her feet hurting. These shoes are good for ANYTHING. ... read more

MPP2 Recap
Posted 5 years ago by pzerbo - 28 comments Link: http://phi.sh/b/4df76a2f
Sunday night, MPP1 is in the books, and you know the drill so let's get right to the action.
Phish Destroys America. Phish Severely Bruises America. Tour of Signs. Phish, The All-Request Band, continued their march down the long-neglected east coast on Sunday by staying put at The Pav Known as Merriweather Post. Phish opened with more "sign language," this time with a crisp and punchy "Buried Alive." Dipping back into their 1998 musical costume, The Velvet Underground's Loaded, Fish assumes one of several leads of the evening with "Lonesome Cowboy Bill," the first in 141 shows (7/30/03 Camden).
Fish's literary masterpiece "Ha Ha Ha" is next and leads into a stock "Sample." The first substantive highlight of the night, "Divided Sky" follows and continues to mature like a fine Bordeaux, combining decades of depth and tradition with ever new and innovative spices. On par with the moving Great Woods version of a week earlier, let's just say they have this one nailed at the highest level... great work!
This already smoking first set gathers even more steam with "typically killer" versions of "Wolfman's" -> "Boogie On Reggae Woman," a heaping of extra mustard on each, please! A totally legit "->" segue, the "middle" courtesy mostly of Michael "Soft G" Jordan, with an especially strong outro to "Boogie On." "Gumbo" and "Halley's" follow and are sure to please fans of 3.0 precision and brevity.
"Bathtub Gin" is up next, a song that continues to bring IT, and in this case Phish wastes no time getting the the heart of the jam: ~four minutes on the theme and then, bam! No radical Type-II here but a killer and focused full jam with Trey dancing along the tree-tops! A rival to the GoldenGinTeca of Bethel? Perhaps not; but all heat, all the time. Strong if "typical" versions of the recently infrequently played "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and the über-frequently played "Character Zero" round out this excellent first set, on a tour chock-full of same. Even if you are "all about the jams" that typically reside more in set II... set I matters. It's almost half the damn show, it matters a lot! This one crushed, bravo! Fifteen minutes.
Act II. Can we sustain the momentum of Act I? Roll tape! [WARNING: if you can't handle nuance and mild but good-natured criticism, please just skip down a few paragraphs. Bring the pets inside].
"Party Time" opens, returning to the ancestral homeland of its 8/15/09 live debut. The rare Fishman Exacta of "Ha Ha Ha" and "Party Time" paid $27.60; please check your tickets before leaving the venue. "Crosseyed and Painless" follows. Great news, if our heroes follow form. Rocking? To be sure. Innovative, exploratory, and risky as it so often used to be (see 10/31/96, 11/2/96, 12/31/99, 7/29/03, 9/14/00, 7/31/09, etc)? In a word: no. "C+P," a song that has so often provided the loading dock for a truck-full of kick-ass has of late disappointed (and yes, I'm even looking at you, 1/1/11). Honesty moment: this song has gradually but clearly lost a lot of steam in 3.0 compared to earlier versions. Big deal? Nope. Does even the most crusty and "jaded" fan still think the circa-90s glory can be around the next corner? You betcha, eh! As it stands, it is just filler dance track. Sorry!
Tom Marshall's latest contribution to the Phish canon, "Steam," makes its second appearance after the debut @ Blossom. While many fans are on the fence on the actual "steam effect," this song is pregnant with possibilities, there is a lot going on here musically and lyrically so let's hope it sticks around and gets some play. The work-horse 3.0 jam vehicle "Light" follows, and sadly falls almost incomprehensibly flat, one of the only true duds in an otherwise shining albeit brief history (try 8/7/10, 10/22/10 or 10/26/10 to witness "Light" soar at its interstellar best). "The Wedge" is up next and brings back a brief interlude of energy and spark to a set that really is in need of a shot in the arm at this point.
Right about the time this set is screaming for a "Ghost," "YEM" or really any song with some serious improvisational punch, Trey turns things in the opposite direction with "Alaska." A perfectly fine Phish tune that make me laugh and smile just thinking of the endless trove of Sarah Palin jokes, let's face it: this is a horrible call in this spot. I'm all for mixing up the setlist, and I loved "Tennessee Jed," too, but this one is a total energy killer. Dear Trey: please reconsider, this is a first set song if there ever was one. The wonderfully sweet "Halfway to the Moon" is next. Page nails this and it is a great and welcome song... but again, the placement. As a sublime interlude between rockers? Absolutely a great call. Following "Alaska?" In the prime cut of the second set? I'm as patient as they come but someone grab me a puppy-upper!
A by-the-books "Harry Hood" is followed by a "Backwards Down the Number Line" that finally injects a little spark into the set, with great lead work by Trey. Not a "top-x" version or jumping out of the song's core structure but an excellent version. "Loving Cup" gives set II redemption one final bid. Rocking to be sure, but no extra mustard here. So what do we have here in set II? Not a whole lot to write home about. Basically we have Bethel3 II: Phish are pros, 1x,000 people forked over a good chunk of scratch, and Phish plays a perfectly respectable, professional rock and roll show every time, so bravo! Worth every penny compared with basically every other act on the shed circuit. But this set... for Phish? Weak sauce. Go ahead, tear me down in the comments, tell me how I "don't get it and should get out of the game" etc. I can take it... hater, please! I'm a fan-boy not a critic, but I call them like I hear them.
Apparently the guys may well have agreed with this assessment, because they came out for the encore with a bag of kick-down. "Sanity!" It never came my way, either, and a perfect kick-down in a surprise spot. Boom! Pow! Keeping the surprises coming, "Makisupa" is up next and keeps up the fun and the "WHAT?!?" "Bundt cake... with essence of lemon and stuff!" lolz, you slay me, Trey. Nobody messes with PAGE'S HOUSE! WHAT?!? "First Tube" takes it on home in typically rocking fashion.
Verdict? I'm not the judge, just a fan who loves The Phish. You. Make. The. Call. I'm a big fan of set I and the encore and let's just... leave it at that. What a set I and encore! :-) Having missed all previous theater and webcasts (because I was in attendance at all), I'm enthused to get into fan-boy mode and rock the living room for the Alpharetta webcast. Get your dancing shoes on... WHAT?!?

Today's networked, and web-enabled, biopharmaceutical environments demand data of the highest quality. Do not regard Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), collectively known as GxP-related computer systems, as a collection of discrete technologies solely supported by individual validation packages and a few SOPs. A company must think of its entire virtual, GxP-related environment as a process stream. This environment must have an entire quality system built around it to be able to meet the intricacies of the law and to be able to produce, manipulate, analyze, transfer, and store high-integrity data.
Many IT departments do not fully understand the requirements of the law, nor do they understand the impact that their work practices and decisions have upon the larger enterprise. Business people are not likely to be aware of how their day-to-day practices impact the virtual environment and the data being produced. Both sides may be fooled into thinking that because they have implemented a validated computer system that they are in compliance with the law. This thinking is erroneous, because the days of stand-alone or isolated computer systems dedicated to one function are gone.

Definition of ragbag in English:
1A bag in which scraps of fabric and old clothes are kept for use.
Example sentences
- They were made from second-hand jute burlap and scraps of fabric pulled from ragbags and storage bins.
1.1A miscellaneous collection of things: a ragbag of reforms is now being discussed
More example sentences
- Somebody appears to have gone to an immense amount of trouble to assemble a ragbag of every kind of mumbo-jumbo and superstition; a great waste of time, in my opinion.

You know what they say about those who forget their history, right? They're doomed to repeat it.
At Saturday night's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reception at the Imani Center, the message was clear. Have the youth forgotten about the struggles of King and about the Civil Rights movement?
As I scanned the crowd, which was much smaller than usual, I couldn't help but notice that there were few children in attendance. The crowd wasn't very diverse either.

School gets under way this week for most of Missouri and that's either good or bad news depending on which side of the fence you fall. Actually, I suspect that by now, even most kids have had enough summer vacation and they, too, welcome the onset of the school year. Parents, I suspect, are universally thrilled to see the calendar turn to the first day of school.
I don't want to wax nostalgic over yesteryear or yearn for the days of yore. But it's abundantly safe to say that the challenges facing our school systems today are far, far different than in my day. Truth is, those challenges are different today than they were just a few short years ago.
We expect - no, make that demand - far too much from teachers today. Where we once just asked teachers to educate our children, today we are increasingly asking them to instill discipline and respect not taught in the home. And since the issue of respect - especially for people in authority - is not taught at home, our expectation of teachers is far higher than what can be achieved.
I have heard horror stories of teachers being subjected to verbal abuse from students. And in many instances, the teachers are virtually helpless to react. Students have often been "schooled" by their parents on their "rights." And they know fully well how to play the game.
Because of an increased deterioration of classroom discipline, students who want to learn are often cheated because excessive time and energy is devoted to those few who disrupt. This occurs more often than you might imagine.
I can hear you now. "Well back in my day if a kid spoke like that to a teacher they'd get their butt busted faster than you could blink..." And that was probably the case.
But if you haven't noticed, the culture has changed. And not for the better. Now, far too many kids come to the school ill-prepared for society, much less for learning. Thugs - disguised as kids - come fully prepared to disrupt as a way of showing their disdain for authority or control. They've learned these lessons at home and on the street corner.
Most schools last week released their MAP tests scores and the results were less than thrilling. But the dismal scores are more a reflection of an inadequate home environment and inadequate parenting and preparation than inadequate teaching preparation within our schools.
So the school year will begin but few things will actually change. Some students will come prepared to learn and achieve and take that next step in the educational process. And others will come for the babysitting services only.
Unfortunately, we will once again turn to the teachers and expect them to perform miracles and prepare some children for life because their parents lack the skills or desire to perform those tasks at home. And that means that those who come prepared may well have to wait patiently while those who come to disrupt get the lion's share of attention.

The year is 2017, and a vampire plague has turned most of the planet's human population into bloodsucking ghouls. As the population of mortals fast begins to dwindle, a resourceful team of vampires sets out to capture and farm every remaining human while simultaneously researching a consumable blood substitute.

Since 1883 The Chelsea Hotel has been a home to artists great and small, from icons such as Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Tennessee Williams, Charles Bukowski, Andy Warhol, and Mark Twain, to assorted aspirants, junkies, prostitutes, and hermits. But new management has begun evicting boho tenants in favor of a more upscale crowd, prompting long-time resident – and consummate New Yorker – Ferrara to capture the ragged splendor of the place before its unique spirit is lost forever. Trolling the low-lit halls, visiting the hotel's cast of memorable characters and raconteurs, and hanging out in the gallery-like lobby strewn with tenants' paintings, "Chelsea on the Rocks" is shot through with an infectious brio, gallows humor and a hard-knock warmth to match its uniquely beloved subject. As yet another of New York's cultural landmarks threatens to effectively vanish for the sake of a bland corporate status quo, Ferrara passionately shows how it's often the misfit structures – and dwellers – that possess a city's soul.

Talent to burn seems to run in the Cherry family of Richmond, Virginia. Both Kelly's parents are violinists, and her mother also is writing a guide to living in England. Her brother is at work on a new novel. Her sister is a concert flutist. Kelly's poetry and short stories—published while she completed a master's degree in creative writing at the University of North Carolina—had been well received, but she abandoned her career during what she calls the "lost time" of her failed five-year marriage. "That's what I'm trying to redeem," she explains, now hard at work on her second novel. Its subject? Kelly answers instantly, "Marriage and free will."
Philip Glass was not displeased to overhear his music described as "Buddha Rock" by a listener at his concert in New York's Town Hall last month. For four hours the audience heard two electric organs (Glass played one), three woodwinds and a female vocalist perform Music In 12 Parts, on which the composer had worked for three years. Highly amplified, its repetitive rhythmic patterns and subtle changes of color and tone delighted most of the audience. New York Times music critic John Rockwell says of Glass, "His is one of the few kinds of new American music people really love."
When he was 29 and traveling in the Orient, Phil Glass met India's great musician Ravi Shankar, who asked him to arrange some Indian music for a film. "The experience shook up my musical life and concepts," remembers Glass, now 37, whose musical education until then had been traditional and Western: flute and piano as a boy in Baltimore before entering the University of Chicago at 15, studies in composition at New York's Juilliard, then a period under the tutorship of the renowned Nadia Boulanger in France. After his Indian experience—he has since become a Buddhist and vegetarian—Glass returned to New York to work in new musical forms, taking jobs as a cab driver, furniture maker and plumber to help support his wife, actress JoAnne Aklaitis, and their two small children. This year he will perform at several major music festivals in the U.S. and Europe. Phil Glass says that he is unsure of his artistic future, "but at least it won't be back to plumbing."

The Senate voted on the "Buffett rule," 51-45 to keep this bill alive, but it was shy the 60 votes to continue debate. The president said of Republicans who voted against the bill had voted "once again to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest few Americans at the expense of the middle class."
I have an issue with the President saying "at the expense of the middle class." How does the "Buffett rule" affect the middle class? The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said that the bill would only raise $49 billion over 10 years, basically $5 billion per year which is how much the government currently spends in less than a week. I resent the president basically lying about the facts. The top tax rate is already 35 percent on individuals making over $380,000 and is 15 percent for individuals making between $17,000 and $70,000 per year.
He wants to raise capital gains taxes, which are taxes from the stocks if people sell if stock. Much of this stock was taken in lieu of salary, or retired people who are living off of the selling of the stock they bought throughout a lifetime. The taxes on capital gains are lower, about 15 percent, to stimulate the risk of investing. You get a tax credit for risking your own money on American companies, basically investing in the economy. It is time the president and the Congress be honest with the American people about the facts. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-2nd) is a co-sponsor and is also repeating the same line as the president, stop the politics and be honest.

Trust, communication key to success at Ina Wealth Management Group
By Karen Billing
Staff Writer
When Richard Ina read a statistic online that seven out of 10 individuals would be willing to leave their financial advisor, he found it disturbing. The senior vice president of investments for Ina Wealth Management Group, at Carmel Valley's UBS office, prides himself in treating his clients so well that they would never leave.
"We are a trustworthy alternative because we spend so much time educating and communicating with our clients, that's how we build trust," Ina said. "That's what separates us, the element of trust and communication."
He said not many advisors would feel comfortable putting all of their clients in a room together like Ina's group does with their client appreciation events. He is confident that all of their clients feel taken care of and wouldn't complain about the way they have been handled.
When coming aboard with Ina Wealth Management, each person receives a "Client First" checklist, a list of 25 things Ina Wealth Management does that they feel other advisors don't.
"We have a very sophisticated investment management style that tends to do well in up and down markets," Ina said.
Ina, originally from Ohio, has been in the financial services industry for 23 years, previously at Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney before moving to San Diego seven years ago. He came to UBS in San Diego and many of his Cleveland clients followed him. With a team of seven people, the group caters to clients all over the country –they've been at their Carmel Valley location for the last three months, moving to the area from Rancho Bernardo.
Ina usually finds himself working very hard for his clients — he is usually in the office by 5 a.m., even on Saturdays, and often leaves his desk late.
"There's no replacement for hard work. There's so much research that comes past my desk that I have to put in the time," Ina said. "It's really my passion. It's so important that you are absolutely passionate about what you do."
The majority of their clients are higher net worth individuals and small business owners, with $1 million or more. Ina's clients are from all different walks of life, from winning the lottery to a man who cleans industrial chemical tanks.
"These clients are already wealthy, they are not interested in swinging for the fences, they want to hit singles and doubles every year," said Ina. "They want the best and we focus on helping them reach their dreams, goals and all the things they're trying to do in life."
Services they provide include improving investment management, lowering volatility, transferring of wealth, retirement planning, insurance, and even educating client's children, teaching them at a young age how to treat money effectively. They help clients with all aspects of wealth management, Ina said, really trying to change their lives for the better.
Ina will be the first to admit that being an advisor in these turbulent economic times has been a challenge.
"I've seen many changes in our industry in the last few years that has certainly tested my mettle," said Ina.
Despite the economic downturn, Ina has seen his client base double in the last three years. He attributes that growth to his group's constant communication, trust and capabilities—he believes his clients represent that three out of 10 who would not be willing to leave their advisor.

Big East's basketball-only schools may depart conference
Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco is working with the officials from the conference's seven nonfootball members to keep the rebuilding league from splitting apart, but it may be too late.
A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Aresco and officials from those seven Catholic schools -- DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall and Villanova -- held a conference call Thursday to discuss the future of the league.
The New York Post and CBSSports.com reported Thursday that the schools will leave.
Such a break could kill the Big East, but it would most likely not end easily.
The current Big East football membership includes only four schools - South Florida, Connecticut, Cincinnati and Temple - that are committed to the league beyond 2013. But there are 11 schools with plans to join the Big East in the next three years.

The season's last installment of player power rankings for the Charlotte Bobcats is here and better than ever. Prior to this season, few thought this list would be diagramming the components of a legitimate playoff team, but that is exactly what happened for Michael Jordan's Bobcats.
Charlotte has assembled a somewhat random assortment of young up-and-comers, established veterans and castoffs, and it somehow turned itself into a playoff threat. Almost no one outside the Bobcats locker room believes the team can knock off the three-time defending Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat, but the Cats wouldn't have it any other way.
Defying the odds all season, Steve Clifford has squeezed just about every ounce of talent out of every player he had at his disposal throughout his primordial coaching campaign.
In these rankings, we will take into account overall impact, value to the team and how well guys performed compared to their expectations. Let's begin.

I like your widget except that it vertically centers the image and crops off the top and bottom, which for certain items, such as clothing, it crops off the model's head and feet, making the image undesirable.
I have attmpted, through the CSS in my theme to adjust the image, but to no avail. It still remains cropped.
Is there a way to have the plugin leave the image full height?

Equivalent would be the use of PicketLink STS as the trust server (you can actually use any vendor's STS as long as it can issue SAMLv2 assertions). Then you have the integration points into web, ejb3 etc.
Particularly, look at the configuration stuff in: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/PLINK/Home

We'd love for you to join us, Linda. I'm usually there about 8:45-8:50 and I drive a gray Nissan Versa. I'm generally standing over near the picnic tables. I have dark hair and purple glasses. We look forward to seeing you there.
I think this will be our 5th or 6th Sunday in a row.

Karan Johar to give a break to X-Factor winner
The other highlight of the show was the face-off between Karan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The fellow filmmakers recently had a tiff when Karan on his show, 'Koffee With Karan', ridiculed the blueness of SLB films. Bhansali was very upset and vowed not to watch the show ever. SLB also expressed that Karan should learn to respect his fellow filmmakers. However, keeping the sourness aside, both the makers hugged and made up on 'X-Factor'.
'X-Factor' is a talent show adapted from the international show 'The X-Factor'. Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, singers Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal are judging the Indian version of the reality show on Sony TV. The episode featuring Karan will be aired on Friday.

PARKERSBURG - A delegation representing Parkersburg and Wood County traveled to Washington, D.C., this week to meet with federal representatives.
Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell said the trip is made annually, sometimes twice a year, for local officials to touch base with West Virginia representatives at the federal level.
Newell, city Development Director Ann Conageski, Wood County Development Authority President Cam Huffman and Mark Lewis with the Greater Parkersburg Visitors and Convention Bureau spent Wednesday meeting with Reps. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and David McKinley, R-W.Va.
"We do this at least once a year, take a delegation to talk with our representatives and just bring to their attention some different areas of concern," Newell said.
The delegation was unable to meet directly with Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin, both D-W.Va., as the two were attending the funeral of U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey. Newell said the delegation did meet with representatives from both West Virginia senators' offices.
Newell said the group spoke on a variety of topics with the representatives.
"The topics varied with each one," he said. "One of the things we did talk about with each one was the proposed readiness center at West Virginia University at Parkersburg."
Newell said economic conditions as well as the recent federal sequester cuts have placed more of the financial burden on the local community to have the center built. That structure also would serve as a convention center, something the area has needed for years.
"We are the largest city in the state that doesn't have one, and there are several communities smaller than us that have one," he said.
Other topics included development of a Little Kanawha River property that was formerly occupied by the state highway department. Newell has said he would like to see the state develop the property into a mixed-use site or river port.
The delegation also spoke to representatives about the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) program, both of which have seen funding steadily decreased in recent years.
CDBG money is often used for building rehabilitation, economic development and code enforcement. HOME is a consortium program with neighboring cities that allows for first-time homebuyer programs and bringing existing structures up to code. The program only benefits low-income people or families that are still living within a structure and is done primarily for safety reasons.
Both programs have numerous restrictions on how the funding can be spent and how the money must be accounted.
The city's CDBG budget dropped from $848,862 in 2012 to $808,918.90 this year, a reduction of $39,943.10. Likewise the HOME budget dropped from $333,625 to $318,19375, a reduction of $15,431.25.
"They've gone down every year for years," Newell said.
Overall, Newell said representatives were very receptive to the concerns expressed by delegation members on all of the topics.
"They were very nice conversations," he said. "We felt it was all very well received."

The Morning Ledger: High-Speed Trading Firms Face New Scrutiny
The Morning Ledger from CFO Journal cues up the most important news in corporate finance every weekday morning. Send us tips, suggestions and complaints: email@example.com. Get The Morning Ledger emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here. Follow us on Twitter @CFOJournal.
Regulators are looking into the close relationship between high-frequency trading houses and major exchanges to ascertain whether or not the preferential treatment market operators offer the firms is anti-competitive. The WSJ's Scott Patterson and Jenny Strasburg report that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating deals between large high-speed firms – which use sophisticated computer systems to move rapidly in and out of markets in fractions of seconds – and the two futures-exchange operators, CME Group Inc. and IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc.
The inquiry will focus on the complicated, often opaque incentive programs that give high-volume trading firms financial benefits such as discounts on fees the exchanges charge to execute trades. Separately, SEC enforcement officials are investigating whether stock exchanges provide advantages to certain clients, including high-frequency traders, by designing software programs that favor their orders over others, and whether such details have been fully disclosed.
The investigations come at a time of heightened concern among institutional investors, lawmakers and regulators that superfast traders have access to advantages on stock and futures exchanges unavailable to regular investors. Computerized trading has come under scrutiny in recent years and linked to certain market mishaps such as the May 6, 2010, "flash crash," when stocks nose-dived and then recovered in a matter of minutes. But, market regulators have so far done little to curb such trading, which has now expanded to make up about half of all stock-market volume.
At 7.00 a.m. EST, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) will release the results for the mortgage purchase applications index. At 2.00 p.m. comes the Federal Open Market Committee meeting announcement and forecasts. The FOMC is expected to reduce monthly QE3 asset purchases from $65 billion per month to $55 billion per month at this meeting, Calculated Risk writes. The forecasts will include participants' projections of the appropriate target federal funds rate along with the quarterly economic projections. Then at 2.30 p.m., the Fed Chair, Janet Yellen, will hold a press briefing.
Rule makers still split on lease accounting. U.S. and international accounting regulators remain at odds over how to standardize the issue of lease obligations on corporate balance sheets. The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board and London-based International Accounting Standards Board plan to issue a final standard on lease accounting later this year that would move about $2 trillion dollars of lease obligations onto corporate balance sheets, writes the CFO Journal's Emily Chasan. But the boards are still split on the fundamental model companies should use to measure those liabilities, the main sticking point being whether to restrict companies to one method to account for leases, or to let them choose between two. The debate will continue Wednesday. "We have been struggling with this standard for many years," Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the IASB said at the meeting in Norwalk, Conn. "There is no simple answer."
In Business Roundtable survey, CEOs see no quick increase in hiring. U.S. business leaders, encouraged by the recent break in Washington's budget gridlock, are increasingly looking to boost spending, according to a new Business Roundtable survey of top chief executives out Tuesday. Nearly half of the 122 CEOs surveyed by the Washington trade group said they expect to boost U.S. capital spending in the next six months, a substantial rise over the 39% that projected higher spending three months ago, the WSJ reports. The positive outlook has been put down to the ending of the budgetary deadlock on Capitol Hill, in particular the two-year agreement brokered by Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), that brought the U.S economy back from the brink of the fiscal cliff last year. But it's not all optimism in the C-suite. While 72% of CEOs see an increase in sales in the next six months, only 37% expect to boost U.S. employment. Forty-four percent see no change to their U.S. payrolls.
Toyota set to pay $1 billion in U.S. probe. The U.S. Justice Department is expected to announce a settlement in excess of $1 billion with Toyota Motor Corp. on Wednesday, to end a criminal investigation into its disclosure of safety issues relating to unintended acceleration in its cars in the late 2000s. The deal would bring to an end the four-year probe with one of the largest fines ever imposed on an auto maker, the WSJ's Charles Levinson reports. The deal is expected to include a deferred prosecution agreement which would allow Toyota to avoid criminal charges provided it meets conditions imposed by the court, and would appoint an external monitor to oversee Toyota's adherence to conditions of the agreement. However, people close to the probe maintain the settlement is not final and could still fall apart. The auto maker has been fined four times for a total of $66.2 million by NHTSA for failing to report safety defects to the government. Three of those fines were related to issues concerning unwanted acceleration.
Bio-Rad raises FCPA reserve to $35 million. Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. said it has earmarked an additional $15 million for a prospective Foreign Corrupt Practices Act settlement of a bribery investigation, bringing the total amount it has reserved to $35 million, the WSJ's Risk & Compliance Journal reports. The manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products disclosed the larger sum in a recent earnings press release and securities filing. Bio-Rad also disclosed the completion of an internal investigation of the conduct, and said it found likely FCPA violations through the internal review.
Merger talks between J. Crew, Fast Retailing break down. Merger discussions between apparel chain J. Crew Group Inc. and Japan's Fast Retailing Co. have stalled, reducing the prospects for a deal that would create a global clothing retail giant, the WSJ reports. It's understood that Fast Retailing, owner of the Uniqlo clothing chain, walked away from discussions with J. Crew management and the company's private-equity owners TPG and Leonard Green & Partners LP soon after The Wall Street Journal and others reported on the talks in late February. What isn't understood so much is why the talks broke down, but some are blaming the fact they became public knowledge. People familiar with the matter have said talks could be revived, but in the meantime, the breakdown makes it more likely that J. Crew's owners will seek to take the company public. The owners were understood to be looking for as much as $5 billion in the discussions with Fast Retailing. The merger discussions picked up momentum late last month as J. Crew's owners started laying the groundwork for an IPO later this year. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is in the early stages of doing work for J. Crew on a potential IPO.
Oracle profit rises but disappoints Wall Street. Corporate-software giant Oracle Corp, whose databases are used by arguably most S&P 500 companies, posted third quarter earnings Tuesday that fell short of investor expectations. Oracle posted net income of $2.57 billion, or 56 cents a share, compared with $2.5 billion, or 52 cents, a year earlier. Revenue rose 4% to $9.3 billion, slightly below Wall Street estimates, the WSJ's Shira Ovide reports. The company said revenue from cloud subscriptions rose 24%, adjusting for foreign-currency fluctuations. Excluding some expenses, Oracle reported adjusted earnings per share of 68 cents, shy of analysts' consensus estimate of 70 cents. Oracle said the figures reflected a loss of two cents a share from unexpected exchange-rate changes in Venezuela. Oracle shares consequently fell about 3.6% in after-hours trading Tuesday, shedding the equivalent of more than $6 billion in stock-market value. Oracle said its revenue from new software licenses and online-software subscription rose about 4%, a bit shy of analyst estimates, citing bigger-than-expected foreign-currency fluctuations. Adjusting for those fluctuations, Oracle said revenue from new software licenses and subscriptions would have grown 6%.
Viacom, Google bury the hatchet over YouTube. Viacom Inc. and Google Inc. have ended the seven-year legal battle that came to epitomise the struggle between old and new media companies, in an undisclosed settlement, the WSJ reports. Viacom brought the copyright infringement case in 2007, alleging that Google's YouTube video site had breached its terms by allowing users to post nearly 160,000 unauthorized clips of Viacom programming from TV networks such as MTV and Comedy Central. The entertainment company had sought $1 billion in damages. Now with Viacom ending the litigation with Google, it clears the way to explore a variety of potential business partnerships. One area for possible collaboration relates to advertising technology, where Google is a powerhouse. It is understood that Viacom is looking for a partnership in that area as it expands distribution of its content online and on mobile devices.
Disney shareholders vote yes on CEO's pay. Walt Disney Co. shareholders have voiced their approval of Chief Executive Robert Iger's compensation package by a wider margin than in previous years, eliminating one of the few points of contention over his stewardship, the WSJ reports. According to preliminary results that counted votes cast before the annual meeting held Tuesday in Portland, Ore., 80% voted yes on Disney's "say on pay" proposal. Last year, 58% supported the nonbinding vote and in 2012 the percentage was 57%. Of the total shares entitled to vote, 84% were cast before Tuesday's meeting. Mr. Iger's compensation, which totaled $34.3 million in the company's last fiscal year, had been questioned in the past by critics, including some state pension funds. In the fiscal year ended Sept. 28, however, Mr. Iger's total paycheck dropped by 15% as the board's compensation committee cut his cash bonus after concluding that he hadn't outperformed targets by as wide a margin as in the prior year.
Mercury Systems is on the auction block. Weapons systems company Mercury Systems Inc. is looking for a buyer and could fetch around $500 million in a sale, according to people familiar with the matter. The WSJ reports the sale process is in the early stages, with initial bids due around now. The company supplies aerospace and defense companies with warfare and intelligence applications, as well as other software. The Chelmsford, Mass.-based firm also provides big-data processing systems and software to the aerospace and defense and electronics industries. It could be sold to a large aerospace and defense company, one of the people said. Mercury shares rose roughly 19% to close at $13.17 Tuesday after The Wall Street Journal reported on the possible sale, giving the company a market value of roughly $440 million.
Inflation in U.S. shows little pickup as Fed meets. The cost of living in the U.S. was little changed in February, showing inflation remains well below the Fed's goal as policy makers meet to decide on the path of interest rates, Bloomberg writes. The consumer-price index increased 0.1 percent, matching the advance in January and pushing the gain over the past 12 months down to 1.1 percent, the smallest since October, according to figures from the Labor Department issued today in Washington. Another report showed homebuilding was stabilizing after harsh winter weather curbed construction.
Murky Path for the Fed as Yellen Takes Reins. In the run up to Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet L. Yellen leading her first meeting of the Fed's policy-making committee on Tuesday and Wednesday, the New York Times writes that her immediate challenge is to overhaul the Fed's forward guidance for short-term interest rates. Janet L. Yellen is taking over the leadership of the Federal Reserve on the cusp of a more challenging period for the central bank, For the last several years, Fed officials largely agreed that more had to be done to reduce unemployment and revive inflation. As the economy recovers, however, there are signs that old differences are returning as the Fed emphasizes clear communication as its primary policy tool. "It's a much tougher job to manage this committee than Bernanke had, because we're at more of a transitional point," said Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas, referring to Ben S. Bernanke, Ms. Yellen's predecessor. "We're not in a crisis, we're kind of recovering to a degree — and then the question is, How much can monetary policy do?"
Tax experts: brace for insurance tumult. Tax experts are anticipating a run of chaos through the health-care system as tens of millions of Americans face the task of establishing that they have insurance coverage to avoid paying penalties. As the WSJ reports, a mandate of the 2010 health law which compels consumers to get health coverage or face a tax penalty was designed to ensure that young people become part of the insurance pool to help offset the cost of covering older, often less healthy individuals. But according to a study last month by the Urban Institute, knowledge of the individual mandate penalty is particularly low among those who lack health insurance—the people who would be responsible for paying it. Given that the penalty can run into hundreds or even thousands of dollars, some tax experts worry that many consumers could be in for a nasty surprise when they file their taxes in 2015."We believe it's going to create massive confusion," said Mark Ciaramitaro, vice president of health-care enrollment services for H&R Block. "There's so much now that confuses people. We think it gets much worse next tax season."
Are you disabled? Your boss needs to know. U.S. regulations are coming into effect next week that will require federal contractors to ask their employees if they have a disability, the WSJ reports. A group of employers that includes Boeing Co., Dell Inc. and AT&T Inc., among some 40,000 others, will be compelled to ask about employees' disabilities for the first time. Those that don't employ a minimum of 7% disabled workers, or can't prove they are taking steps to achieve that goal, could face penalties and, in the most extreme cases, the loss of their contracts, according to a government official. The target applies to contractors with 50 or more employees or more than $50,000 in government work. The Labor Department issued the rules as part of an effort to reduce the high jobless rate among people with disabilities; a similar initiative calls for an 8% hiring target for military veterans. Government officials say the targets are "aspirational" and not rigid quotas. The legislation will affect nearly a quarter of the U.S. workforce, but employees aren't required to disclose their specific impairment.
Iron Mountain Inc., a storage and information management company based in Boston, named acting finance chief Rod Day to the CFO role on a permanent basis. Mr. Day, who has been acting CFO since November, previously was CFO of its international business. Terms of Mr. Day's compensation weren't immediately disclosed.
Discovery Communications Inc., a media and entertainment company based in Silver Spring, Md., named Doug Baker, CFO of its Discovery Networks International business, to the additional post of chief operating officer for the division. Compensation arrangements weren't disclosed.
Unilife Corp., a supplier of injectable drug delivery systems based in York, Pa., named Controller Dennis Pyers its interim CFO. Mr. Pyers succeeds Richard Wieland, who is leaving after four years as CFO. Unilife didn't immediately disclose any new compensation for Mr. Pyers. Mr. Wieland said in a press release that the $60 million financing from OrbiMed it announced last week left Unilife "well financed," and it is an appropriate time for a new CFO during its next phase. Unilife Chief Executive Alan Shortall also said its next CFO will "complement our future needs as a large, rapidly growing" company.
