Our Town America Helping Small Businesses in Greater Milwaukee Area Take Aim at New Wave of Emotional Movers
More than 40 million Americans will move nationwide this year, many carrying emotional distress along with their belongings because they recently lost their house or job. Chances are they won't be greeted by a smiling face with a plate of home baked cookies saying, "welcome to the neighborhood" – even in the wonderful towns here in Southeastern Wisconsin. Where's the love for new movers looking for a refreshing new start in our hometown?
Enter Allen Busse and Our Town America who are bringing back house warming traditions by delivering welcoming packages each month to new greater Milwaukee area residents on behalf of local businesses. Busse and Our Town America are taking aim at the modern day mover with full-color gift certificates specific to their new neighborhood. The goal, says Our Town America's CEO, Michael Plummer, Jr., is to ignite the emotional spark that encourages new residents, not yet set in their ways, to become lifelong customers with local businesses in our surrounding areas.
"This new wave of emotional movers is likely to develop long term relationships with community businesses if they connect with them as soon as they come to town," says Plummer. "It's our job to help local businesses reach out like a helpful neighbor with genuine advice and free offers."
"New movers remember these businesses because they made it easy for them to find new favorite places, as opposed to just one-time deals, when they were in the transition of moving."
Make an Emotional Connection with a New Mover, Make a Customer For Life
Sport Clips owner Mark Carlson praises Our Town America and its new mover packages for allowing them to educate new movers on Sport Clips' unique value proposition and, in turn, make a long lasting impact on target prospects.
"Our Town America's welcoming packages truly work because they help us establish a strong and genuine connection with movers as soon as they get to the greater Milwaukee area," says Carlson. "We have a unique, niche business model at Sport Clips that is laser focused on the male consumer and it is critically important for us educate new movers on that value proposition while they are looking for a new hair care solution. Not only does Our Town America deliver the message, but they supplement it with a powerful offer that gets those recipients off the couch and in the hands of our stylists. I couldn't ask for more out of Allen and the Our Town America team."
Another Greater Milwaukee Area-based Sport Clips owner, Wally Sauthoff agrees.
"We have a unique business model at Sport Clips in that we focus exclusively on the male consumer," says Sauthoff. "However, too few potential customers understand that we deliver a unique, old-school barber shop experience and an MVP experience well worth a few extra bucks. The Our Town America package has allowed us to deliver that message to men along with a free haircut as soon as they come to town when they are actively seeking a new hair care partner and it's made all the difference."
And while Our Town America's new mover program is great for hair care companies, it is not industry specific. Local Schlotzky's owner, Jane Ritenour, says the program allows her to show new movers why a sit down meal at Schlotzky's is far more rewarding and satisfying than picking up something on the go at a quick-service store.
"Our Town America gets customers in my door because we work together to deliver an aggressive offer," says Ritenour. "We don't just give away a free sandwich, we present new movers with the opportunity to enjoy a full meal. This offer makes sense for us because Schlotzky's isn't just a quick service sandwich shop, we are more of a full-service, sit down restaurant that delivers a full experience."
"The Our Town America program allows us to deliver that experience and give new residents a warm welcome to the neighborhood. More often than not, that special treatment leaves an impact and those customers come back for more."
Upgraded New Mover Programs Make Welcoming New Families a Profitable Tradition
The most recent census revealed new statistics about where people are moving and how the population of different areas of the country is changing. In response, Busse and Our Town America have changed the look and focus of their packages to appeal to this new demographic of movers. These changes include:
- Including more products and services appealing to the Hispanic and Asian communities, which have grown by 43% in the past ten years.
- Working with more businesses near apartment complexes. With the unprecedented foreclosure and unemployment rates, many movers are downsizing from homes to apartments.
- Cutting edge 2-D barcode technology, first added by Our Town America in 2004, has been added to each gift certificate available in their welcoming envelopes. This makes it easier for advertisers to track success rates, determine the types of consumers who are redeeming their offers most often, and, ultimately, conduct follow up mailings to interested customers.
- New digital printing methods allow full-color coupons and envelopes. Making an attractive, eye-catching mailing.
"We can't deliver a plate of home baked cookies to the door, but we can deliver a welcome package of gift certificates that's attractive for people moving to our community," says Busse. "The times have changed for new movers, but the emotional impact of a new move has never been greater. People genuinely appreciate the effort we are making to ensure they feel noticed and welcomed to southeastern Wisconsin communities. If these customers have a good first experience after redeeming the offers they've received from our sponsors, they do come back for more."
Eric Knutson of the Delafield Brewhaus couldn't agree more.
"Allen and the Our Town America team really know how to leave a lasting impression on new Wisconsinites," says Knutson. "My success as a restaurant and brewery owner is completely predicated on our ability to make customers feel at home when they visit us. I've been with Our Town America for more than five years and I couldn't be more impressed with their ability to hand deliver our message to new movers in a professional, thoughtful and caring way that makes new movers feel at home in our town. Thanks Allen!"

Problem-solving policing often uses crime analysis to locate concentrations of crime called "hot-spots." Hot spot analysis helps police identify high-crime areas, types of crime being committed, and other information that will
help craft the most effective response. For instance, mapping local crime hot spots together with emergency room data has
proven useful in many gun violence interventions.
NIJ offers a wealth of resources about hot spots and crime mapping:

check out the build wed night..looks like we might get some waves thursday mornin..stoked.
yeah man! wed is ganna be thigh high and clean around atlantic beach and emerald isle.
:(. yea that might be alright. until the last update though swellinfo had it buildin up to about chest high wed night, and thursday may have been even bigger. perhaps it will come back though, who knows.
at least all of you guys have a board cause i broke the nose of my brand new AL Merrick which sucks.
wow that sucks. i know the feeling. i bought a 9'0" action and a month later it got a delam about 2' long
With my board it';s epoxy and it basically broke the whole nose off but it's still attached to the board by the top. But the local shops here say it will take a while to fix and i'm pissed cause school ends this week and i'm going out of town for 2 weeks so im just mad with myself.
sorry to hear that man. wont be the last time though, it happens to the best of us. asides from that it looks like there are going to be some waves again
My brother and I seem to break our **** all of the time. About a month ago I snapped a fin on the sandbar, replaced it, then the next time I went out I ripped out the fin plug in the same spot. Luckily I had borrowed a longboard to hold me over while mine was being fixed. I've also gotten pretty good with sun cure :)

We aren't scaring them. Governor Branstad is making a trip to California to poach some businesses from the failing Golden State. He's not scaring one Californian:
Iowa's top state personal income tax rate is 8.98 percent, compared to 13.3 percent in California. Probably not enough of an improvement to lure millionaires from Pacific Palisades to Dubuque. By contrast, Texas offers zero percent.
The top state corporate income tax rate is 12.5 percent in Iowa, 8.84 percent in California and zero percent in Texas.
Earlier this year, Branstad said he would no longer pursue getting rid of Iowa's corporate and personal income taxes. Instead, he's going to focus on cutting property taxes.
Well, California's property taxes already are fairly low thanks to Proposition 13. Although property prices here are triple those in Iowa and most other states because of our severe restrictions on building.
Bottom line: Iowa doesn't offer enough incentives to attract many businesses and people to leave California. The Hawkeye State is the Golden State with bad weather.
Ouch. Well, Iowa's solvent, too, unlike California, which is a fiscal disaster. We also have short commutes. Still, he makes a valid point: it's not enough to compete with a basket case like California. Golden State refugees have plenty of places to choose from, many of which have better taxes, better weather, or both. I have no thoughts on fixing the weather, but The Quick and Dirty Iowa Tax Reform Plan would take care of the tax problems. With no corporate tax and a 4% individual rate, combined with good employees, education and quality of life, we'd see some Californians.
To C or not to C? The Wall Street Journal reports that taxpayers are revisiting whether to operate businesses as C corporations or pass-through entities. C corporations face a top rate of 35%, where individuals have top rates over 42% as a result of the ill-concieved fiscal cliff and Obamacare tax increases. From the article:
"Even though on the surface you're looking at 35% versus 39.6%, it's a deceptive comparison," says Robert W. Wood, a tax lawyer with Wood LLP in San Francisco. "There may be a slight short-term advantage in C-Corporations, but there are a number of negative long-term implications that would outweigh short-term benefit."
For example, C-Corporation profits can be double-taxed. In addition to the corporate tax on profits, owners also would owe personal taxes on any money they take out of the company as dividends. The double tax kicks in when a business is sold, too.
Another potential problem is that a firm that switches from an S-Corporation generally has to remain a C-Corporation for at least five years.
At current rates, a switch to C corporation format is probably still unwise, if tempting, because of the double tax issue. You might have lower tax up front, but getting the money out involves either paying a second tax on the dividends or expensive tax gymnastics, often involving renting to a corporation or potentially "excessive" compensation. C corporations are the Roach Motels of the tax world: they're a lot easier to check into than check out of. But if there is a significant reduction in corporation rates, the current tax savings will be enough to tip the balance for many taxpayers to C corporation status, double tax or no.

When Will Tax Complexity Cause a Collapse? (Jason Dinesen).
The tax code, as most everyone knows and acknowledges, is ridiculously complex and getting more complex all the time.
When will the complexity cause the system to collapse? And what, exactly, will collapse?
I think it would require a combination of things to "collapse" the tax law. If the perception becomes widespread that it is impossible to comply with the tax law without unreasonable effort, or the rates get intolerably high, and technical advances allow for cash transfers and banking that the government can't trace, then the game is over.

Balance within an abstract piece of art is not a simple matter of ratios or obeying hard-and-fast rules. Instead, it has more to do with finding harmony among each of the elements competing for the viewer's attention. By giving certain elements more prominence, you allow the viewer's eye to move purposefully through the work without becoming lost or jaded.
What you will not see in the following pages are all the mistakes that were made en route to creating this image. We mention this because making mistakes is an essential part of the process.
When you create an abstract image, you never get it right first time – it is all about trial and error. To get the most from this tutorial, you should experiment, explore a few dead ends and ultimately turn the piece into one that bears your own distinctive stamp.

SAWS to End Free Toilet Program
SAWS is flushing the toilets.
After nearly twenty years of giving away low flow toilets to homeowners, the San Antonio Water System says the freebie toilet program will end at the end of this year.
Since 1994, SAWS has given away more than 200,00 low flow toilets, which have saved the utility more than 2.5 billion gallons of water.
But starting next year, only low flow toilets will be sold in stores, meaning the water guzzling high flow models will be phased out.
SAWS will adopt new water saving incentives.
SAWS says you can still get a freebie low flow toilet if you apply before the end of the year.
SAWS customers can receive up to two free two button Caroma toilets, if they agree to install the toilets in the home.

Duck Sauce's upcoming album will be a 'visual album'
Listen to Duck Sauce on iHeartRadio
Duck Sauce, the duo comprised of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, are preparing to release thier debut album Quack in the spring, and it appears it will be a 'very visual album,' according to A-Trak.
The producer/DJ tells Rolling Stone, "We thought it would be cool to make an album, with a listening experience front to back; [a] very visual kind of album."
It also appears that their talent for creating viral videos to go along with their songs will continue with Quack. A-Trak goes on to tell Rolling Stone, "What's cool with this album also is it's a treasure trove of materials that we can have fun with." He adds, "With our videos we never approach them literally, it's always this blank canvas; dance music is repetitive, and not very deep, so when we make a video it is just a pre-text to make a piece of art that has a certain soundscape."

'"I'm not anywhere near NHL ready, I'm in a great spot at the University of Wisconsin," McCabe said.

Sabres select Bulls D-man in final round
'Austin had career highs of six goals, 20 assists, 26 points and 59 PMs for Belleville last season and was, arguably, the team's most improved player in the second half, taking on a greater role as a puckcarrier.'
East's Toninato among three local NHL draftees

The kidneys are a pair of bean shaped organs responsible for blood filtration. It also eliminates waste products from the body. The kidneys are located in the abdomenal cavity of the body and help in keeping a check on the electrolyte level in the body.
Polycystic kidney disease or PKD is a condition in which a number of cysts grow on the kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid, and if the number or the size of the cyst increases, it can lead to kidney damage and kidney failure. 5% of kidney failures are caused by PKD. PKD does not affect only the kidneys. It can also cause the cyst to grow on other organs, such as liver, pancreas, ovaries, spleen and large bowel. The brain and the heart can also be affected by PKD. If it reaches the brain, an aneurism is caused. Heart murmurs may occur if PKD affects the heart.
Symptoms: Symptoms are visible for those in the 30 to 40 age group; however, it differs from person to person. Back pain or side pain, enlargement of the abdomen, blood in the urine, high blood pressure, and frequent bladder or kidney infections are some of the common symptoms of PKD.
Diagnosis: An ultrasound is the most dependable, affordable and non-invasive way to diagnose PKD. MRI and CT scans can be used to detect the volume of the cyst. It also helps to determine small cysts which cannot be detected by ultrasound.
Treatment: There is no specific treatment for PKD at present. But certain steps and measures can be taken to slow down the growth of the cyst and to control the symptoms.
Prevention: Keeping a check on blood pressure, use of prescribed antibiotics to treat kidney or bladder infection, restricted use of caffeine, and medications to control pain are some of the treatments for relief and for arresting the growth of the cyst. Research also shows that drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also slow down the growth of the cyst. A diet low in fat and moderate in calories is recommended.
Types: Autosomal dominant kidney disorder is a genetic disorder and is passed on to the child from the parent by dominant inheritance. It is the most common type of PKD. The symptoms are visible after the age of 30 to 40. Infantile or autosomal recessive PKD is a genetic disorder and is inherited by the child from the parent by recessive inheritance. The symptoms are visible during the early months of life or in the womb. It is a rare form of PKD and occurs in 1 out of 25,000 people. Acquired cystic kidney disease occurs due to long-term kidney damage and is linked with kidney failure and dialysis. The bleeding of the cyst causes the bleeding in the urinary system and leads to urine discolouration.
Bladder cancer can be caused by a variety of factors, which include genetic factors, inheritance, drugs, chemicals, environment related factors and smoking. In fact, smoking tobacco is one of the major causes of bladder cancer around the world. The chemicals present in tobacco can irritate the bladder lining which ultimately leads to bladder cancer. Besides smoking other important environmental factors might be chemotherapy, exposure to chemicals from newspaper, dye, leather, paints industries.
Symptoms of bladder cancer are as follows:
Most often it occurs in people more than 50 years of age. It can present in different ways, but common symptoms being :
- Painless hematuria - reddish or brownish colored urine with or without clots Increased frequency of urination Pain while passing urine .
- Difficulty in passing urine
The diagnosis requires a proper imaging workup including ultrasound, CT scan and urine examinations. Following the initial imaging, a biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis and stage the disease. This is done by cystoscopy under anesthesia.
Treatment Options:
Treatments for bladder cancer.depend on the stage of cancer. Broadly bladder cancers can be categorised into Non-invasive and Invasive cancers.
- For non-invasive cancers: It requires recurrent cystoscopic surveillance and resection. For those with high risk of tumor recurrence or progression, intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy might be required.
- For invasive cancers the various treatment choices are:
- Surgery: For localised tumor which are amenable to resection perhaps surgery is the best possible treatment. This is a major undertaking where in whole of bladder along with accessory organs is removed. The surgeon may offer choices for reconstruction between neobladder (refashioning bladder with patient's gut) or ileal conduit (fashioning a stoma over which bag can be worn to collect urine). Following surgery a regular follow up is required and the prognosis is good.
- Chemotherapy: This modality is reserved for patient's where surgery is not possible or they have metastatic disease (disease spread to other body parts).In this method, medications are used to target and destroy cancer cells.
- Radiation Therapy: This might be and option for patient's that are not suitable for surgery. Radiation therapy uses gamma rays to destroy cancer cells in the body The key to good prognosis in bladder cancers is early detection timely intervention and good follow up.

"Filly Brown" is a clear case of a character (and a performance) that's more interesting and moving than the movie she's in.
The title is the rap handle of Majo Tonorio (played by Gina Rodriguez), a would-be rap star growing up in L.A.'s Latino community. With lyrics borrowed by her imprisoned mother (singer Jenni Rivera, who made her acting debut before her death last December in a plane crash), Majo makes an impression with record producers but must decide whether to sell out for quick cash or be true to her music and to her DJ, Santa (Emilio Rivera).
There's also home drama, with Majo's hard-working father (Lou Diamond Phillips) clashing with the lawyer (Edward James Olmos) Majo has hired to represent her mother.
The story occasionally devolves into rags-to-riches clichés, but directors Youssef Delara and Michael D. Olmos are at their best when spotlighting Rodriguez's powerful performance behind the mic.

'Filly Brown'
Opens Friday, April 26, at the Megaplex 15 at Valley Fair (West Jordan) and Cinemark 24 (Jordan Landing); rated R for language, some drug use and violence; 80 minutes.

Surpirsed if they have a big screen and they are making a DVD why not show a replay of the action so far. Not too difficult with todays technology?
Mike "the mic" Persil
i hate when shows have girls doing dance routines, i think id rather have nothing on than dancers etc...
lions and lion tamer would be quite good
If you need a friend, get a dog !
what about the guy who swallows things and then pukes them up again? i saw him once at 'Church', funnily enough in the HMV forum, walked out without a scratch on me lol
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
I like spotting 'coke monsters' during intervals
3 x Points for spotting Jittery 'Coke Monster'
+ bonuses as below
1 x point for Ed Hardy'esque T-Shirt
1 x Point if above T-Shirt is clearly one size too small
1 x Point for Shaven head
1 x point for Tribal tattoos
1 x Point for obvious Roid' use with an extensive upper body routine
My record is 316 points at UFC 120 at the 02 Arena
Doesn't have a signature anymore
They should have female strippers as intervals
The worse a belly dancing troop but the women were in the ther late 40s it wasnt nice to watch. The best was a group of street dancers.
I'd score highly in the unfitOnes scoring but my fav interludes have been Mr Persil being escorted out of the cage on a stretcher. The best being 'Caged Fighters' where he tried to quit and was made to stand up again before being escorted like the decrepid failure he is after one more 'shot'.

the ballot for the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame was released. This year's ballot includes 18 former players including players from five decades of Twins baseball. Since the original class of six was selected in 2000, the Twins have regularly inducted one to two former players or other important people in the club's history. Last season, former pitcher Camilo Pascual was inducted and this followed pitcher Jim Perry and shortstop Greg Gagne in the two previous seasons.
There are a wide variety of players on this year's ballot. Early members of the Twins like Dave Boswell, Mudcat Grant, and Cesar Tovar helped the franchise to their first World Series birth. Plenty of players are on the list from the Twins World Series runs in 1987 and 1991. There are even players from the rebirth of Twins baseball in the early 2000s.
Here is a look at the top five players on the ballot according to their Wins Above Replacement with the Twins. When it comes to picking out members of the Twins HOF, there is more that goes into it than just their numbers on the field but it is a good starting point.
If a person looks at the list above, it seems obvious that Knoblach should be elected to the club's HOF. His offensive numbers with the team put him near the top of a variety of offensive categories so it seems likely that he should be elected at some point in the future. He didn't exactly leave the team on good terms and many people might remember the ugly day when fans started throwing hot dogs at him when he was playing in the Metrodome outfield.
In recent years, the push has been for players from the early years of the Twins. This could bode well for a player like Cesar Tovar and Dave Goltz. Tovar played parts of eight seasons with the Twins as an outfielder. For his career with the Twins, he hit .281/.337/.377 with a little bit of power. Goltz was a pitcher for the Twins in the 1970's that amassed a 96-79 record with a 3.48 ERA. He won 20 games in 1977 and finished sixth in the Cy Young voting that season.
It could be time for the Twins to look to a player from more recent years with a little more fan appeal. Roy Smalley sees a lot of time during the FSN broadcasts and this has allowed fans to get to know him better in the last few seasons. Corey Koskie was always an appreciated player and the third baseman has stayed close with the organization since his departure. One of these players might have the upper hand in this year's voting.
This season doesn't seem like the right time for Knoblach to get the nod in the election process. There just hasn't been enough time since his falling out with the club. He should get in at some point but the timing definitely needs to be right. I would love to see Corey Koskie get recognized for his time with the Twins. He was under-appreciated during his time in a Twins uniform and I think that has become more noticeable in recent years as the Twins struggle to find a reliable man at third base.
As a Twins fan from the new generation of Twins baseball, Koskie is the man I would like to see elected.

GSA Awards Local Telecommunications Services Contracts in Indianapolis and St. Louis Combined Value of Government Business Estimated at $380 Million over 8 Years
April 27, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration today awarded contracts to four companies to provide local telecommunications services to federal government agencies in two more cities under its Metropolitan Area Acquisition Program. The cities are Indianapolis and St. Louis, and the combined value of government business is estimated to be $380 million over 8 years - 4 base years plus 4 one-year options.
GSA selected WinStar Communications, Inc., AT&T, and SBC Global Services to provide services to government agencies in Indianapolis. WinStar Communications, Inc. and Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. were selected to provide services in St. Louis. The Indianapolis service area includes Marion County plus Clay Township in Hamilton County and Pleasant Township in Johnson County. The St. Louis service area includes the City and County of St. Louis in Missouri plus the Counties of Madison and St. Clair in Illinois.
These awards are the latest results of the Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) Program, which is managed by GSA's Federal Technology Service (FTS). The contracts in Indianapolis and St. Louis bring the total number of cities served by the program to 12, with procurements for 8 additional cities already underway. The contracts provide for standard voice service as well as switched data service and dedicated transmission service offerings. The scope of the contracts allows for the addition of new and leading edge services as they become available in the commercial marketplace.
The contracts in Indianapolis have an estimated value of $240 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government nearly $61 million when compared with standard business rates and over $51 million when compared with rates currently available to the government. This is an approximately 57% saving over standard business rates and 53% over current government rates. For the core voice service of analog Centrex, the offered prices will potentially save the government over $23 million when compared to currently available prices.
The contracts in St. Louis have an estimated value of $140 million over 8 years, with new local service prices that will potentially save the government almost $46 million when compared with standard business rates and nearly $36 million when compared with rates currently available to the government. This is an approximately 62% saving over standard business rates and 56% over current government rates. For the core voice service of analog Centrex, the offered prices will potentially save the government nearly $18 million when compared to currently available prices.
The MAA Program was conceived shortly after the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in order to bring to the local service environment the same benefits of competition that had been seen in the long distance market since 1984.
"We have now made more than half of the MAA awards we expect to make this fiscal year," stated Sandy Bates, Commissioner of GSA's Federal Technology Service, "and the contracts continue to reflect the aggressive competition and significant taxpayer savings that were our program goals. We are gratified that industry views the MAA program as an opportunity worthy of their best competitive efforts."
As part of its program strategy, FTS has incorporated competition-enhancing terms in its MAA and FTS2001 (long distance) telecommunications contracts, including price management mechanisms and technology refreshment provisions. These are meant to ensure not only that the prices paid by federal government users remain current with the best available in the marketplace, but that the types of services offered remain current with industry trends as well.
For more MAA program specific information, please refer to the GSA FTS website at www.gsa.gov/MAA, or call the MAA Program Director, Larry Hazzard at (703) 610-2823.

Yeah West Coast were always going to beat the Roos, I was just sure Sydney would get up and had to release some of my frustration over Richmond's loss to Essendon by picking Sydney. Instead Essendon just **** me more.

Clive Davis opens up about his life and the music industry in new memoir
PHOTOS: The Soundtrack of Clive Davis' Life
Music mogul Clive Davis opens up about his experience in the music industry and divulges never-before details about his personal life in his new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life.
Davis wrote the tome with Anthony De Curtis, which was published this week by Simon & Schuster. In it, Davis talks about his career and working with artists like Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead, Patti Smith, the Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson.
Clive Davis talks about his memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life:
But perhaps the most interesting (and most buzzed-about) part of the book comes near the end, when he says he has been in a romantic relationship with a man for seven years, confirming for the first time that he is bisexual. Davis said he considers himself bisexual, not gay, even though he has been in "a strong monogamous relationship" with a man, whose identity he has not revealed, for seven years.
The twice-married executive also reveals how he began dating men about three decades ago when a man approached him at Studio 54 in New York, and went on to have a romantic relationship with a male doctor from 1990-2004.
"Was I nervous?" Davis wrote. "Absolutely. Did the heavens open up? No. But it was satisfying."
"Do I feel I could have been similarly attracted to a woman? The answer is yes," he said.
Check out his interview with ABC News:
Davis, 80, was the founder of Arista and J Records and now serves as chief creative officer of Sony Music Entertainment. The Grammy-award winning exec is perhaps best known as Whitney Houston's mentor and father-figure for the late singer. The memoir serves as somewhat of an overdue sequel to his first book, 1975's Clive: Inside the Record Business.
The new book is not sitting well with everyone. Kelly Clarkson, for one, has responded to what she calls "false information" written about her. In a post on WhoSay, the original 'American Idol' writes, "I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis."
Check out an excerpt from the audiobook's introduction, read by Clive Davis:

At Work
Gary Lutz on 'Divorcer'By Andrew Martin
Gary Lutz is a wholly original writer of the short story. The first thing one notices are his startling sentences, like this one from the title story of his new collection, Divorcer: "It was in a dullard four-door with a brat of a rattling dashboard that I sometimes drove to, from, and through these places, then back to my wife and other things she was a baby about." The sentences, and the stories, in collections such as Stories in the Worst Way, Partial List of People to Bleach, and I Looked Alive, are about sad men and women and their glancing and troubled interactions with the world. Men look for love in public bathrooms and find solace in women's clothing; relationships inevitably falter and die, leaving behind regretful and longing ex-lovers. In his best work, Lutz displays an innate understanding of the grim compromises of modern life but heightens and glorifies these with his dizzying language. He refuses to let the dreary world force him to write a dreary sentence. I recently conducted this interview with him via e-mail.
Your new collection, Divorcer, contains a number of stories about the ends and aftermaths of relationships. Did you set out to write a series of thematically linked stories?
I had no expectation that these stories, written piecemeal, might one day mingle with one another in a book. It was Derek White, the extraordinary founder and editor of Calamari Press, who convinced me that the stories added up to something. The stories were written during stretches of four summers and the better half of an autumn. The longer pieces took months and months to finish, but one of the shorter entries, "Fathering," was written in just one week—I'd challenged myself to come up with something quick.
How do you feel this collection differs from your previous ones? To me, the stories seem a bit more narrative driven and perhaps more "accessible" than some of your previous work.
I guess it's more accessible, or at least a little less willfully disingratiating than my other books, which had more than a touch of solipsism. Even in the lengthier of these new stories, despite their elliptical and fragmentary nature, there is something at least approximating an ongoingness of a sort, if not exactly a plot.
To what degree does your personal experience influence your stories?
To no degree at all, practically. I suffer from E.D.—Experience Deficit. Not much has ever happened to me, and I have never had much luck in making anything happen myself. Anyway, my personal life seems off limits, even to me at the center of it. Somebody should sell pocket-size lifetime diaries with just a quarter-page for each entire year—I could surely get my money's worth out of one of those. Read More

Skin and hair changes during pregnancyDermatosis of pregnancy; Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy; Melasma
Most women have changes in their skin, hair, and nails during pregnancy. All of these are normal, and most of them go away after pregnancy.
Stretch Marks
Most pregnant women get stretch marks on their belly. Some also get stretch marks on their breasts, hips, and buttocks. Stretch marks on the belly and lower body appear as the baby grows. On the breasts, they appear as the breasts enlarge to prepare for breastfeeding.
During your pregnancy, your stretch marks may appear red, brown, or even purple. Once you deliver, they will fade and not be as noticeable.
Many lotions and oils claim to reduce stretch marks. These products may smell and feel good, but they cannot really prevent stretch marks from forming.
Other Skin Changes
Your changing hormones during pregnancy usually cause other skin changes.
- Some women get brownish or yellowish patches around their eyes and over their cheeks and nose. Sometimes this is called the "mask of pregnancy." The medical term for it is chloasma.
- Some women also get a dark line on the midline of their lower abdomen. This is called the linea nigra.
To help prevent these changes, avoid the sun, use a good sunblock when you are outside, and wear a hat and clothes that protect you from the sun. Sunlight can make these skin changes darker. Using concealer may be okay, but do not use anything that contains bleaches or other chemicals.
Most skin color changes fade within several months after you give birth. Some women are left with freckles.
Your Nails and Hair
You may notice changes in the texture and growth of your hair and nails during pregnancy. Some women say that their hair and nails both grow faster and are stronger. Others say their hair falls out and their nails split after delivery. Most women lose some hair after delivery. In time, your hair and nails will return to the way they were before your pregnancy.
Feeling Itchy During Pregnancy
About 1 in 100 women develop an itchy rash during their third trimester, most often after 34 weeks.
- You may have itchy red bumps, often in large patches.
- Most times the rash will be on your belly, but it can spread to your thighs, buttocks, and arms.
Lotions and creams may soothe the area, but do not use products that contain perfumes or other chemicals. These may cause your skin to react more.
To relieve rash symptoms, your health care provider may suggest or prescribe:
- An antihistamine, a medicine to relieve the itching. (Talk with your doctor or midwife before taking this medicine on your own.)
- Steroid (corticosteroid) creams to apply on the rash
This rash will not harm you or your baby, and it will disappear after you have your baby.

So I'm doing research at my internship and learning a lot about the various mindsets of different generations. The Baby Boomers (1946-1964) grew up with the onset of television, the Vietnam War and a boom in production of consumer goods. Generation X (1965-1980) grew up with dual income families and lots of independence. Generation Y (1981-2002), my generation, is known for receiving immense parental support and reinforcement, as well as being surround by the latest gadgets. Does the ability to work with all this technology make us smarter? No, it just means we're more dependent.
Growing up as a Millennial, I have seen the vast transition from cassettes to DVDs and MP3 players to iPod, from flip phones to smart phones and computer monitors to sleek laptops. I have owned them all and have never even thought twice about how freaky FAST everything is changing. Pretty soon, our smart phones will become an ancient relict of the past.
Which gets me thinking, how is technology transforming so quickly, yet we still cannot settle on a clean and stable source of energy? We've been fighting about Keystone XL for so long, Apple is already moving on to the sixth generation of the iPhone. And what happened to the Cape Wind project? Yeah, Obama finally laid out a policy for climate change but come on, it's been 20 years overdue already. It's easy to talk the talk but now it's time to walk the walk.
If technology is advancing this quickly, I'd like to see some of that money and R&D put into things that really matter. I wouldn't mind downgrading my phone and laptop for the sake of investing that money in wind farm construction.

10 Hottest Sales Tools at dreamforce
From Dreamforce '15: Behavioral Analytics Are Transforming the B2B Sales Process
Billions of dollars have been poured into marketing automation technologies. Given the ability to deliver more relevant and timely information to customers with ease, marketing has gained enormous benefits.
Despite all the advances in marketing automation, however, sales teams have been stuck in the Dark Ages; working with dated technology to connect with a changed, modern-day buyer. But not anymore.
At Dreamforce '15 in San Francisco this month, more than 150,000 attendees from 90+ countries got a glimpse of the future of sales, and that future is analytics.
Massive amounts of data harvested by robust and comprehensive analytics will supply insights that can transform sales processes. Powered by these rich and sophisticated analytics, advanced technologies will give organizations new insights to engage with and serve customers more effectively – from deeper insights that personalize the customer experience to improved sales forecasting, and modernized prospecting.
The latest Salesforce research shows that top organizations are already three and a half times more likely to use sales analytics.
"Over the last 10 years, the sales industry has witnessed a disruption. Due to the innovation of Internet cloud-based business transactions and an upsurge in sales technology development, the sales profession is in a state of rapid modernization." James W. Phillips, Business Intelligence Analyst
Modern Sales Buyers Have Higher Expectations
B2B buyers have become "Amazonized." They do their own online research, and leverage social channels and referrals, to find out everything they can before reaching out to a vendor. Yet, according to Accenture's Yusuf Tayob in his Dreamforce session "Embracing Digital Disruption to Power Sales Growth," this 'non-stop customer' still expects the best experience possible.
This requires personalization. Modern-day buyers want to deal with sales reps who understand them and their industry problems, and who know where they are in the buying process to give them the best experience.
Furthermore, they want vendors who respond ASAP to their needs. To allow modern buyers to "have it all" requires modern sales technology that includes automation and analytics. Tools that marketing has had for a while, but specifically built for sales.
Altered Buyers and Altered Processes Are Driving New Technologies
Automation and analytics tools are becoming available that change the playing field in sales. Sales acceleration tools, with their ability to deepen customer understanding to personalize the sales process, is one top category."
Personalization: the Key to Stronger Customer Relationships
A 2015 Harris Poll study showed that an overwhelming majority of executive level buyers want more personalization in sales interactions, yet more than a third add that they rarely get any. Since 95% of respondents say they'd be more likely to respond to personalized outreach, sales organizations need to pay attention.
In addition, in recent research, Aberdeen Group reports that best-in-class companies that personalize content down to the sales rep level achieve up to a 36% higher conversion average and a 21% stronger lead acceptance rate.
New tools that deliver engagement analytics can unveil buyer interests and behaviors that empower sales teams to personalize their interactions. With analytics, teams can see how frequently a prospect engages with their content, and get profile data for recipients of forwarded information.
This can help you spot other stakeholders quickly. Also significant is the fact that these tools show when there isn't interest, so teams can get to a "no" faster and turn their attention to more promising opportunities.
Speeding Up the Sales Process
Personalized outreach and deeper analytical insights ultimately mean an accelerated sales process that eliminates wasted resources and reduces customer acquisition costs. There's still a lot of progress to be made when it comes to enhancing the sales process and engaging prospects more effectively, but it's refreshing to see how much progress has been made in recent months.
10 of the Hottest Sales Tools at Dreamforce '15
For sales teams, the most challenging facet of leveraging available technologies and solutions often involves sorting through the noise and identifying which tools are available. But there's no doubt that prescriptive and behavioral analytics are key for best-in-class sales organizations to serve today's non- stop customer.
Here are ten sales tools that deliver advanced analytics that made a particular splash at this year's Dreamforce conference:
1. 6Sense
"Focus on customers who are ready to buy now, and keep tabs on the prospects making their way through the funnel." That's what 6Sense's predictive intelligence technology does for sales teams. It essentially prioritizes contacts and helps reps understand where leads stand in the sales cycle.
2. AscentERP
With AscentERP, the days when sales reps had to call the warehouse to see if an item was available are over. This rich and insightful tool gives sales reps the visibility they need to manage customerinter actions with extra skill and enhance the end of the sales cycle.
3. Axiom
Axiom claims it can "take the guesswork out of sales" with its Integrated Selling Suite, which empowers sales teams to make educated selling decisions for better forecasting accuracy. The forecasting feature works by using real-time win probabilities that are calculated from advanced algorithms, and aligning that information with customer-specific data for highly accurate and dependable sales predictions.
4. Axtria
Over the past few years, Axtria has worked with a handful of Fortune 500 companies to transform the way they handle sales forecasting and predictions. Specifically, the firm helps clients leverage sales planning through its Axtria SalesIQ platform, which is a "comprehensive and tightly integrated framework that ensures that the same data, models and assumptions used to drive the strategic decisions permeate across tactical plans and operations."
5. Birst
While CRM reports are helpful, Birst attempts to unify customer data, sales reports, revenue, and pipeline data into a consolidated forecast that enables sales teams to create more predictable revenue streams, based on everything from historical win rates to the "digital body language" of customers.
6. LiveHive
As the firm's website suggests, "LiveHive uncovers ways to trim inefficiency and improve your team's productivity, email effectiveness, and follow-up timeliness through automation and engagement analytics." LiveHive's power lies in its deep and comprehensive content engagement analytics.LiveHive lets sales leaders see how, and how often, reps are engaging to build best practices for the team, and reps get real-time alerts about how prospects interact with their emails and content, so they can prioritize them. With intelligent email sequencing and automated templates, LiveHive helps speed the buying process and allows teams to refine their sales models.
7. PeopleLinx
Using dozens of different data sources and insights, PeopleLinx's predictive analytics technology recommends which actions salespeople ought to take, and at which time, in order to be most successful. Then it measures and reports on the success of the activity and tailors future actions accordingly.
One of the most unique sales tools on the market is PFL's SwaqIQ software solution, which connects with the Salesforce Sales cloud to provide sales teams with new ways of connecting with clients and prospects. The platform uses predictive analytics and rule-based tasks to inform sales reps of the right time to send a gift to a prospect, and what the right gift might be.
9. TalkIQ
Sales reps waste too much time trying to record information and not enough time engaging prospects. That's where TalkIQ comes into play. Among many other features, TalkIQ is able to transcribe conversations in real-time – eliminating the need to take notes and ensuring sales departments have accurate records that are easily searchable.
10. TopOPPS
According to its website, "TopOPPS is a sales pipeline and forecasting predictability solution thathelps sales teams focus on the best leads and opportunities in the pipeline so they can be moreeffective with their closing." Using automation and intelligence, the company claims that reps can sellup to 25 percent more and shorten sales cycles by as much as 38 percent.
Looking to the Future of B2B Sales
By 2020, there will be more than 33 billion internet-connected devices around the world. This strongly implies there will be billions – even trillions – of data points for sales teams to get their hands on. That's what's so exciting and heartening about these new technologies.
Sales analytics and acceleration tools are giving sales teams the ability to capture information andcreate more advanced, data- driven sales strategies that meet prospects precisely where they are in
the sales cycle.

Netanyahu to call on Abbas to return to the negotiating table (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Barak Ravid 04/04/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/netanyahu-to-call-on-abbas-to-return-to-the-negotiating-table-1.422444
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to send a letter to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in which he will call on him to return to the negotiating table, promptly and without preconditions.
A senior Israeli official said the letter would be a response to a similar communiqué Abbas plans to relay to Netanyahu in the upcoming days.
The Israeli message will stress among other diplomatic statements the Israeli willingness to resume the talks that took place in the Jordanian capital Amman, under the aegis of the Jordanian king and the in Quartet of Middle East peacemakers.
In his letter Netanyahu will state that Israel is willing to discuss all core issues: borders, security arrangements, refugees, water, settlements, and the fate of Jerusalem.
Netanyahu will write Abbas that he isnt laying down any preconditions to the negotiations and expects that the Palestinians would do the same. Although Netanyahu will stress that any peace agreement between the sides will have to include the Palestinian recognition of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people and their assent to appropriate security arrangements.
The senior Israeli official stated that the final draft of the letter will only be penned once the corresponding message from Abbas will be received in the next few days.
Netanyahus letter will be a response to Abbass letter, the senior official said. We will see what he writes and finalize our response. At any rate, the message will be that Israel is interested and willing to advance the negotiations with the Palestinians. The goal is to jump start the talks and not merely exchange correspondence for the protocol.
During a press conference that Netanyahu held on Tuesday to mark the three year anniversary of his government, he stressed that the Palestinians are those who are refusing to return to the negotiating table.
We want to reach a settlement with the Palestinians because, I dont want a two-nation state, Netanyahu stressed. I also want to insure the survival of a Jewish state. Not only separation but also security If the Palestinians dont negotiate now, they will in later. I am committed to maintaining the Jewish character of the country.
On Tuesday, Haaretz reported that last week a secret meeting between Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat and Netanyahu´s envoy Yitzhak Molho in Jerusalem. The two have been in regular telephone contact, but this has been their first meeting since the Amman talks collapsed in January 26.
In the meeting, Erekat described the letter Abbas plans to send Netanyahu in the next few days. The message, whose first drafts included an ultimatum and serious threats to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, had gone through gradual stages of dwindling and softening due to American pressure, among other reasons.
The draft Erekat presented Molho, during last weeks meeting, didnt include a threat to dismantle the Palestinian Authority; instead it had much weaker rhetoric. In addition, Erekat asked Molho to coordinate a meeting between Netanyahu and a senior delegation from the Palestinian Authority that will deliver the Palestinian message.
