Since the last issue of our IM Update, we have also published the following separate Alerts of interest to the investment management industry:
SEC Proposes More Frequent and Detailed Fund Holdings Disclosure, Website Delivery of Shareholder Reports
On May 20, 2015, the SEC proposed new and amended rules and forms (the "Proposals") that, if adopted, will significantly broaden the type and scope of information reported by registered investment companies. This alert summarizes the new disclosure forms and reporting requirements contained in the SEC's proposed rulemaking, including the new Form N-PORT, which would require registered investment companies to report detailed information about their monthly portfolio holdings and risk metrics to the SEC using a prescribed XML data format.
SEC Proposes Amendments to Form ADV and Recordkeeping Rule
In late May, the SEC proposed rules that would amend portions of Form ADV and rules promulgated under the Investment Adviser Act of 1940. The proposed amendments are intended to improve the quality of information that investors and the SEC receive, fill data gaps that the SEC has identified and facilitate the SEC's risk monitoring initiatives. The proposed amendments relate to Part 1A of Form ADV and address: 1) additional reporting requirements with respect to Separately Managed Accounts; 2) additional disclosures about investment advisers and their businesses; 3) registration on a single Form ADV of multiple fund advisers operating as a single advisory business; and 4) certain clarifying and technical changes. The SEC has also proposed amendments to the Advisers Act Books and Records Rule (Rule 204-2) to require advisers to maintain additional written materials related to the calculation and distribution of performance information.
FINRA Approves Use of Related Performance in Mutual Fund Marketing Materials to Institutional Investors
On May 12, 2015, the FINRA staff published an interpretive letter (the "Letter") permitting FINRA members to include related performance information (e.g., of separately managed accounts and private funds) in mutual fund marketing materials directed at institutional investors. Previously, FINRA's position was that, except in limited circumstances, related performance information in marketing materials would violate the content standards of FINRA Rule 2210(d). Therefore, the Letter is important because mutual fund marketers now may use related performance information when marketing mutual funds to institutional investors, including financial intermediaries, who may recommend these mutual funds to their customers. This is particularly important in cases where an investment adviser has been employing an investment strategy that will be used for a new mutual fund that lacks its own performance history.
The SEC's Current Views on Private Equity
As a follow-up to last year's "Spreading Sunshine in Private Equity" speech, in which then-OCIE Director Andrew Bowden stated that the SEC had found that more than half of the funds examined by OCIE had allocated expenses and collected fees inappropriately and identified "lack of transparency" as a pervasive issue in the private equity industry, Marc Wyatt delivered a speech on May 13, 2015, reflecting on progress in the past year as well as identifying likely areas of scrutiny the private equity industry will face in the future.
Supreme Court Confirms ERISA Fiduciaries' Duty to Monitor, Leaving Contours to Lower Courts
On May 18, 2015, the Supreme Court confirmed the existence of an independent duty on the part of ERISA plan fiduciaries to continuously "monitor" retirement plan investments and remove those that are imprudent. In Tibble v. Edison International, the Court held that ERISA's six-year statute of limitations for breaches of fiduciary duty does not extinguish claims alleging imprudent selection of investments if a continuing "duty to monitor" those investments is violated within the limitations period. The Court thus breathed life into stale claims about investment selection by recognizing a fiduciary's continuing obligation to "monitor" investments and investment options. The opinion stopped short of defining the precise contours of the duty to monitor, leaving the development of the obligation to case-by-case evolution.
SEC Clarifies "Voting Equity Securities" for Purposes of the Bad Actor Rules
The SEC recently released additional guidance on the definition of "voting equity securities" as applied to the bad actor disqualification rules under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Private fund and hedge fund offerings to U.S. investors typically rely on Rule 506 under Regulation D as the basis for their exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Rule 506(d) disqualifies a securities offering from relying on a Rule 506 exemption if a covered person with respect to the issuer, which includes "any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the issuer's outstanding voting equity securities," has had a "disqualifying event." In the Rule 506(d) adopting release, the SEC defined the term "voting equity securities" as securities that confer to security holders the ability to "control or significantly influence the management and policies of the issuer through the exercise of a voting right." In its new guidance, the SEC states that it has reconsidered its initial views on the definition of "voting equity securities," and has now adopted a bright-line standard under which "voting equity securities" are defined as securities that, by their terms, provide the security holders with a presently exercisable right to vote for the election of directors.
Upcoming Deadline for BEA Foreign Affiliate Reporting on BE-10 (Extended to June 30)
The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of Economic Analysis (the "BEA"), requires reporting on Form BE-10 (a "BE-10 Filing") from any U.S. person (including entities or individuals) that had a "Foreign Affiliate" at any point during the U.S. person's 2014 fiscal year. Form BE-10 is a five-year benchmark survey, with the prior survey conducted in 2009. At the time of the 2009 survey, a BE-10 Filing was required only from a U.S. person contacted by the BEA. In a rule published in the Federal Register on November 20, 2014, the BEA announced that any U.S. person that satisfies the applicable reporting threshold will be required to make a BE-10 Filing, regardless of whether the BEA has contacted such entity. A BE-10 Filing may be required as early as May 29, 2015. However, the BEA extended the submission deadline for first-time filers to June 30, 2015.
SEC Releases New Guidance Related to Investment Funds and Cybersecurity Risks
On April 28, 2015, the SEC's Division of Investment Management released a Guidance Update titled Cybersecurity Guidance (the "Guidance"). The Guidance represents the latest evidence of the SEC's continued focus on cybersecurity issues as they relate to financial services firms, particularly investment funds and advisers. Due to this heightened focus, it is becoming increasingly important for such firms to adopt more advanced and up-to-date cybersecurity protections. Funds and advisers would be well-advised to review their cybersecurity programs and to consider how they might implement some of the recommendations offered by the Guidance.
SEC Announces a Maximum Whistleblower Award to an Employee Who Faced Employment Retaliation as a Consequence of Reporting Dodd-Frank Act Violations to the Commission
In June of last year, Paradigm Capital Management agreed to pay the SEC nearly $2 million to settle allegations that it violated the Dodd-Frank Act's conflict-of-interest rules and unlawfully retaliated against the whistleblower that brought the conflict-of-interest issue to the SEC's attention. On April 28, 2015, the SEC announced that the Paradigm Capital whistleblower would receive, on a percentage basis, the maximum allowable whistleblower reward – 30 percent of the amount that Paradigm Capital paid to the SEC to settle the allegations. In announcing the maximum reward, the SEC's press release cited the fact that the whistleblower "suffered unique hardships, including retaliation, as a result of reporting [the conflict-of-interest issue] to the Commission."
SEC Staff Responds to Frequently Asked Questions on 2014 Money Market Reform Release, Including Valuation Guidance
On April 22, 2015, the SEC staff released guidance, titled "2014 Money Market Fund Reform Frequently Asked Questions," that discusses various interpretive issues arising from the SEC's 2014 Money Market Fund Reform release (the "2014 Reform Release"). On April 23, 2015, the SEC staff released additional guidance, titled "Valuation Guidance Frequently Asked Questions," that discusses the valuation guidance applicable to all mutual funds that was included within the 2014 Reform Release. Both the April 22 release and the April 23 release were in a question-and-answer format and represent the views of the SEC's Division of Investment Management's staff.
SEC Announces Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Award for Compliance Professional
On April 22, 2015 the SEC announced that it had awarded approximately $1.5 million to a whistleblower who had served as a compliance officer of a company. According to the SEC's press release, the whistleblower "had a reasonable basis to believe that disclosure to the SEC was necessary to prevent imminent misconduct from causing substantial financial harm to the company or investors." The SEC's press release also stated that the whistleblower reported the company's misconduct to the SEC only "after responsible management at the entity became aware of potentially impending harm to investors and failed to take steps to prevent it."
2015 ICI Mutual Funds and Investment Management Conference
Ropes & Gray authored a memorandum summarizing the 2015 ICI Mutual Funds and Investment Management Conference held in March in Palm Desert, California.
SEC Imposes Fine on KBR for Violating Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Protection Rule
On April 1, 2015, the SEC announced the resolution of its first enforcement action against a company for violations of the whistleblower protection provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act regulations. Under a "no admissions" resolution, KBR, Inc. agreed to pay a $130,000 penalty to resolve charges that the language it used in its confidentiality agreements during internal investigations violated SEC Rule 21F-17. As a voluntary "remedial action," KBR also amended its internal investigation confidentiality agreements to state expressly that employees are not prohibited from reporting, without prior company consent, violations of federal law to the Department of Justice, SEC, or other relevant federal agencies.

Laurel HansonNew York, NY
- UC Berkeley
- Harvard (M.Ed.)
After the crushing realization that traveling and writing fantasy novels was not a viable career option, Laurel discovered a love for teaching and went into test prep. She's taught the SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT, and holds 99th-percentile scores on each of those tests.
Laurel's first foray into formal education was teaching English in Romania when she was just 19. Since then, she's run nonprofit tutoring programs in urban schools, taught English in Georgia (the country), worked as a grief counselor, and even taught at an SAT camp (where she raised scores an average of 36 percentile points). Regardless of the subject matter, Laurel loves helping students understand previously intimidating material and boost their confidence in the process. She believes that the greatest obstacles to a killer score are our own self-sabotaging tendencies – and if we can harness the abilities already within us, nothing is unachievable.
Aside from her educational expertise, Laurel has a deep interest in the arts and has tried to pursue writing, art therapy, and every poverty-inducing creative field in between. She's found herself contracted for an assortment of odd jobs, including working as a cake decorator and a face painter and dancing at an NFL halftime show. She also trumped every band camp story ever by attending circus camp, and will happily regale you with stories of trapeze falls (and demonstrate her juggling skills) after class.

PolAres Science
The interdisciplinary and international research program of the OeWF
PolAres is an interdisciplinary program of the Austrian Space Forum, in cooperation with international partners, to develop strategies for human-robotic interaction procedures and to emphasize planetary protection, in preparation for a future human-robotic Mars surface expedition. Based on experiences of simulated Mars expedition, like the AustroMars expedition in 2006 in the Mojave desert of Utah, PolAres consists of following elements:
Program Concept
First, in a scouting phase, possible Mars analogue sites in Europe and the neighboring Arctic are identified. In a second step, a stratospheric balloon will be constructed and launched both as a training project and as a precursor for the Rover phase. In a synergistic approach, hardware components like sensors and navigation elements shall be tested before being implemented on the Rover, which shall form the core of phase 3. In a fourth step, the man-machine interface between the rover and the analogue astronaut shall be tested, including interactivity requirements development and investigation.
Timeline: 2007 – ongoing
Program Lead: Austrian Space Forum
Science Background
Mars once had the prerequisite necessary for the emergence of life. However, the search for these diminutive tracers of biology (if they ever existed) is a complex search for call-wall fragments, biologically precipitated minerals etc. There is a significant of contaminating the very samples scrutinized for those tracers of paleobiology.
Hence, the understanding of the potential contamination vectors is a mission critical technology. We are working with marked bacteria and fluorescence nano-particles – a technique developed originally during the OeWF AustroMars mission in 2006.
The distribution and migration patters of biological "payloads" is being investigated under realistic exploration scenarios – such as sampling by robotic vehicles, a hand-over to astronauts, but also contingency situations which might lead to a breach of the biological containment.
Analog research also mean that after a regional characterization of the geology and the (putative) biology, we compare our findings and hypotheses with the actual "ground truth" of that terrestrial Mars-analog site. This allows us to determine how much a human-robotic mission might have missed on Mars where we do not have that level of ground-truth and accessibility of a terrestrial setting.
Hence, using well known ground-truthed sites on Earth is an excellent instrument to evaluate the completeness of a sample and the effectiveness of an exploration strategy.
That's what PolAres is about.

Integrated in flume-trunk #320 (See https://builds.apache.org/job/flume-trunk/320/)
FLUME-1653: Update Hadoop-23 profile to point to hadoop-2 alpha artifacts (Revision 831a86fc5501a8624b184ea65e53749df31692b8)
Result = SUCCESS
brock : http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flume/repo?p=flume.git&a=commit&h=831a86fc5501a8624b184ea65e53749df31692b8
Files :
- flume-ng-sinks/flume-hdfs-sink/pom.xml
- flume-ng-sinks/flume-ng-hbase-sink/pom.xml
- flume-ng-channels/flume-recoverable-memory-channel/pom.xml
- pom.xml
- flume-ng-channels/flume-file-channel/pom.xml
Brock - I think you downloaded the old patch. It is applying cleanly for me. Can you download the current file and try again?
Haris-MacBook-Pro:flume hshreedharan$ git pull Already up-to-date. Haris-MacBook-Pro:flume hshreedharan$ git apply ~/work/FLUME-1653.patch Haris-MacBook-Pro:flume hshreedharan$
Hari, the patch doesn't want to apply:
$ git pull Already up-to-date. $ git status # On branch trunk nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ patch --dry-run < /data/patches/FLUME-1653.patch patching file pom.xml Hunk #1 succeeded at 88 with fuzz 1 (offset -25 lines). patching file pom.xml Hunk #1 succeeded at 88 with fuzz 1 (offset 3 lines). patching file pom.xml Hunk #1 FAILED at 125. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file pom.xml.rej patching file pom.xml Hunk #1 succeeded at 88 with fuzz 2 (offset -40 lines). patching file pom.xml
I am going to update the profile name to hadoop-2. Since this is not a user facing change(only developers building flume will be impacted - I am going to assume they will look at the pom to figure it out), I am going to assume it is not a major issue.
It might depend on the branch/tag but both 0.94 and 0.94.2 calls 2.X hadoop-2 and 0.23.X hadoop-0.23 while trunk only mentions hadoop 1, 2, and 3. If it's 2.x, let's just call it hadoop-2.
Its both actually. Or neither (and no I'm not being Zen). From where I stand I agree with Hari that leaving things as they are is fine especially since it has an added, albeit small, benefit of aligning nicely with other projects (HBase, Pig, etc all use 23 profile as a name). On the other hand if we want to pick the right name for this profile it should probably be disassociated from versions, since I would imaging both camps (hadoop 2.X and hadoop 0.23) using the same profile. So we should probably call it 'next' or 'ng' or something like that.
Just my 2c.
I don't see any reason why going from 0.23.1 to 2.0.0-alpha would less tricky than 2.0.2-alpha but I am not to concerned about that since it's just for building/testing purposes.
But why wouldn't we update the name? It's not 0.23, it's 2.0?
I think leaving the name as such is fine for now. Also, since we do not have any explicit dependencies on hadoop-2.0.2-alpha, leaving it at an older version is probably ok. Upgrading to a newer version of hadoop is often tricky
Should we change it's name to hadoop-2? Also I think 2.0.2-alpha is out: http://www.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/

Robert from Keene Nh writes,
I have ant hills all over the lawn. Is there anything that can be sprayed/spread over the entire lawn?
We recommend that you try an ant bait granule that the ants would actually pick up and take down into the mound instead of spraying. Maxforce Complete Granular Bait would be a great choice for most ant species. While ant baits will work for most ant species there are a couple of ant species that do not readily take bait. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and ask if they can help you identify the ants on your property.

Ubuntu Linux on the Toshiba Portege 3490CT
When I first got the Toshiba Portege 3490CT from an auction at work, my main goal for the machine was to install Linux on it. Searching the web for instructions didn't give me enough details since I've never used Linux in the past.
I tried PXE netboot install and a detailed set of instructions posted on Ubuntu Forums. It didn't work. I was then pointed to using a different set of inputs in the Tftpd32 program. I tried it again today and it worked. I raised my arms in the air when the Ubuntu installer appeared on the laptop.

This is why I only work part time. Because if Pish gets sick, I'm here.
I've been home since Tuesday because Vienna has had the throw up virus that's going around. Which has been awesome. Poor kid just doesn't understand why she's so miserable. For a baby who typically eats like a champ, she's just not that interested. Pushes her bottle and sippy cup away- I even put apple juice in it which I very rarely do, and nothin'.
That's not the only thing going on with the Nugmeister. Her stuffy/runny (you explain to me how it's remotely possible for that to occur simultaneously) that I've have to turkey baste about 8 times a day is just now finally going away. This started on Thanksgiving... a week ago. It's been real.
Oh, and when she does finally have a dirty diaper it's mindblowingly messy. How does something that little and dimply and cute like her bum make that much of an effect on the cleanliness of the rest of her body and everything around her?
Vienna has had four baths in the past two and a half days. I look like a homeless person.
I am always in fast forward, with projects developing and work and cleaning and showering, I'm Johnny on the spot; gettin' it done. But the past few days have put my personal hygiene into a regression. You'd think that I'd be in the shower right now but with the rare five minutes peace I have while she naps, I'm deciding to turn on my Pandora and do this. It's therapeutic. I'm even on the couch.
I guess it's appropriate that I look like this because with the amount of laundry I have to do combined with my condos fabulous coin-op laundry (WHAT was I thinking?), I'm going to have to go panhandle to gather the quarters necessary to tackle that job.
If you feel sympathetic, I'll be standing at the intersection of rte. 140 and Pond Street with a collection cup and a sign that says "I have puke all over myself and it's not from drinking. Please Help." Quarters only please.

Australia cannot afford to waste water growing rice
A beautiful rain, soft, slow and soaking, has been falling in south-eastern Australia, bringing to a close what they call the "big dry" - the worst drought in Australia's recent history. It comes too late to save much of the grain harvest, a lot of breeding stock and a number of Australian farmers.
But it will douse the bush fires that have been burning away since December and stop so much of Australia's land turning grey. And it breaks the language barrier with Melbourne's taxi drivers, few of whom seem to have been born in Australia. "Ha! Rain!" they say, and point to the sky. It eases the journey.
I normally listen with one ear to gloomy forecasts of permanent changes in the world's climate, but now there is talk of getting ships through parts of the Antarctic Ocean during summer months, because the ice is melting, I now jump to mental attention when the subject comes up.
The more immediate question, however, is whether Australia is sensible to invest so much in water-intensive crops, such as cotton and rice. Every hectare of rice, they say, requires the equivalent of 11 Olympic-sized swimming pools of water.
There is going to be a squabble about this. Industry's leaders in Australia claim to be using 30 per cent less water than a decade ago. The rice industry, founded about half a century ago, contributes only 0.2 per cent to the nation's GDP, yet draws as much water in a year as seven million households.
Political relations between Britain and Australia, they tell me, are warmer than they have been for some time because Tony Blair and John Howard, Australia's prime minister, are of one mind over Saddam Hussein. Furthermore, they are credited with being close enough to President Bush to catch his ear.
George W. Bush realises that Mr Howard has a more uphill job with Australian opinion than he has with that in America and that UN consent to any use of force against Iraq might be very important to him.
Mr Howard doesn't mince his words to Australians about Iraq and has given the peace marchers a dressing-down. But so far his coalition's share of public support has held up well. Unexpectedly, because a lot of Australians do remain strenuously opposed to war, it is the Labour leader, Simon Crean, who has lost ground.
Mr Crean has attacked Mr Howard for committing Australian troops to the Gulf and accuses him of being in Mr Bush's pocket. Yet many in the Labour Party seem openly unhappy with him.
Australia's attitude to outside adventures has always been complex. Vietnam tore Australians apart. Many thought Mr Howard was wrong to send Australian soldiers to East Timor three years ago, because it would damage relations with Indonesia.
Just before the Second World War, Labour's then leader, John Curtin, strongly opposed Australian rearmament to meet the threat from Germany. He thought an Australian prime minister should be answerable to the people of Australia, not to British foreign policy. Later he changed his mind.
So Mr Howard is stepping into the unknown by standing so squarely with Mr Bush over Iraq. Maybe he realises better than most Australians that there will be handsome rewards for those who take America's side when the chips go down.
I have been talking to an Australian sheep farmer about the value of alpacas in defending flocks of sheep during the lambing season from predators such as foxes. Because his advice might be useful if foxhunting ends in Britain, I pass it on.
Alpacas look like llamas, but are half the size. A month or two before the lambing season, says my farming friend, introduce a couple of alpacas to the sheep. They quickly become guardians of the flock. Alert, with sharp sight and a great turn of speed, they will chase all intruders.
On catching their prey, they stamp it to death with their forepaws. On farms that employ alpacas for guard duty, foxes may well vote for the return of the hunt.

If your kids HATE a certain vegetable, make them…
Science finally figured out how to make your kids eat vegetables. Just force them to eat the SAME vegetable for two weeks straight.
Researchers in England took 80 kids between the ages of 9 and 11, and made them eat kale every day for 15 days in a row. Which sounds like the kid version of TORTURE.
But by the end, almost all of them were more or less FINE with eating kale.
They still didn't love it. But they liked it a lot more than they did before. So they were more likely to eat it without complaining.

Welcome to my website
- a place to share and reflect upon my learning
- a hub for my digital handprint*
- a sandbox to create and explore ideas
Life is for learning…and unlearning and relearning
As a lifelong learner, I am constantly growing and changing. That will be reflected here- in a portfolio that is always "under-construction."
*Digital Handprints
When I started teaching [in the 1990's,] my portfolio was in a notebook. I used tracings of my hand as an artistic element. That image stayed with me as I started creating a personal brand.
It wasn't a conscious decision to have the hand become my representative icon, but eventually the meaning unfolded. A digital portfolio is a conscious catalog of a digital footprint. In my yoga practice, I am trying to master a handstand. So, it makes sense that my digital footprint is a handprint.

Traffic stop leads to burglary ring bust
Carrollton police arrested two women they say are responsible for as many as 50 car burglaries in Carrollton, Lewisville and Flower Mound.
Police arrested 25-year-old Skylar Lampton and 33-year-old Erica Jo Johnson on a traffic stop early Friday morning.
Police say they found drugs, bolt cutters and more.
Police filled three pick-ups with stolen items that were stashed in a duplex in the 2600 block of Via Cordova Street near the Willowgate Lane neighborhood, which police say the pair frequently targeted.
Police say the pair usually entered unlocked cars.

I have been working on this since December 2011 but have had the idea since shortly after the episode aired. This is an AU to episode 1.20 where Steve breaks his arm after finding the body in the jungle. After a fall like that, Steve shouldn't have come away with some scrapes and a broken arm. Pure hurt/comfort.
This is a WIP but I have enough done that I am comfortable posting now. I will try to update once a week.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hawaii Five-0 or any of the characters. Nor do I make a profit off them.
Chapter 1
Danny will never admit it, but he really is enjoying this hike with McGarrett. The petroglyphs are fascinating and it is a really beautiful place to be. It's not a bad way to spend the morning when he doesn't have Grace. Everything is going really well up until they find a body on a ledge below the petroglyphs. 'Leave it to McGarrett to find a body in the middle of nowhere on what is supposed to be a leisurely hike.' Danny thinks to himself.
"I'm going down there, he could still be alive." Steve says as he sets up the climbing gear he is carrying. He hooks his harness to the rope and makes his way down to the ledge.
"Is he alright?" Danny asks as Steve rolls the body.
"He's dead." Steve yells up to him. "He's got a gunshot wound through and through and there's very little blood."
"Alright look, there's no action up here. No signs of a struggle. Somebody dumped him."
"It's got to be from a plane or helicopter."
"Get out of the way, let me take a picture." Danny snaps the picture on his phone. "Alright come on. Let's go for a little hike, call a crime scene unit. Come on."
"I need you to take up the slack as I climb, alright?"
Danny grabs the rope and starts pulling tight.
"Take that slack Danny!" Steve yells up as he starts climbing.
"Go easy, take your time." Danny said when Steve hits a loose patch of rocks. Steve slows down a little but reaches to grab a rock above him. The rock comes loose and Danny watches in horror as Steve falls backward and the rock slams him in the face. The next thing Danny knows, the rope comes loose from Steve's harness and Steve keeps falling. There isn't anything Danny can do to stop him.
"Steve!" Danny yells as he watches Steve's body slam into the unforgiving rock below him. Steve hits the rock on his left side and slides on his stomach toward the edge of the ledge. He comes to a stop with his head hanging over the edge.
"Steve! Hey Steve! Steve!" Danny yells but doesn't get an answer.
"Steve! Can you hear me?" Danny's yells fall on deaf ears. Danny really hopes that Steve is just unconscious and not dead. The boulder that hit him probably weighed at least fifty pounds minimum and he fell somewhere close to thirty feet, he was almost to the top when the rock came loose.
Danny tries for a few more minutes to rouse his unconscious friend. After nearly five minutes with no results, Danny pulls out his cell phone and is dismayed to find that he doesn't have a signal. He then digs through Steve's backpack to see if the SEAL has a sat phone in there but comes out with a pocket knife, several bottles of water, a couple MREs, duct tape, and a small first aid kit. Danny is disappointed to say the least. The always come prepared Navy SEAL boy scout did not come prepared for a major emergency such as this.
Danny glances down at his partner. As much as Danny doesn't want to, he realizes that the only choice he has to get McGarrett help is to leave him here alone while he goes in search of a cell phone signal.
"I'll be back soon buddy! I'm gonna go call for help!" Danny yells down to the still unconscious man. He knows he probably can't hear him but telling Steve where he is going makes him feel better.
Without a second thought, Danny is running back the way he came into a more open area of the jungle. He stops when he gets to the ridge but still doesn't have a signal. He looks around for the highest point. He remembers Steve telling him on the way up there that the only place with cell service was at the summit. As soon as Danny figures out which direction to go in, he is off at full speed, forcing his short legs to move as quickly as they possibly can.
He finally reaches the top fifteen minutes later. If he had the breath, he would cheer at finally having a cell signal. He dials Chin's number and waits impatiently for him to pick up the phone.
"Hey, thought you were supposed to be on a hike with McGarrett?" Chin says by way of answering.
"Steve fell, he's hurt."
"Whoa, What? How bad?" Kono says. Chin must have put the phone on speaker.
"I don't know how bad, I'm not a doctor. He's unconscious. "
"Where are you?"
"At the petroglyphs."
"Kono is running your coordinates."
"Alright, listen we need a rescue team as soon as possible."
I'll call in Army evac."
"We also need a crime scene unit."
"Wait, what?" Kono asks, her confusion evident. "I thought this was a rescue mission, what's a body doing way out there?"
"What's a body doing-? I don't know. Male mid fifties. Doesn't look like a hiker."
"Alright I'll send a crime scene unit."
"Army evac is on its way." Chin states.
"Alright, I'm heading back." Danny hangs up the phone and runs back to where he left Steve. It takes him probably twenty minutes to get back to the petroglyphs. Steve is still lying in the same position as he was when Danny left so Danny assumes that he hasn't woken up yet. If he has, he wasn't aware enough or able to move.
"Steve! Can you hear me?" Danny yells down to him. He still doesn't get a reply. Danny really wants to go down there to make sure his friend is still alive but there isn't a safe way for Danny to go. The rope snagged on a broken branch and even if it were free, Steve only brought one harness. The cliff is too steep for Danny to free climb down so that option is out. He'll just have to wait for the medevac.
After a few minutes he hears the distinct sounds of a helicopter approaching. Looking toward the sky, Danny can see the chopper coming over the tree ridge. He starts waving his arms and when he is sure he has the attention of one of the Army guys. He motions down to where Steve is laying. He watches impatiently as two Army medics are lowered down to Steve's position. After they detach from the cable, a third soldier is lowered down to where Danny is.
"Are you alright, Detective?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Do you know how Steve is?"
"Commander McGarrett is alive, but unconscious. They are going to get him stabilized and prepped for transport and then get him on the chopper. In the mean time, I need to take you on board." The soldier then fastens Danny into the awaiting harness and signals for the guys in the helicopter to raise them up. Danny's eyes never leave Steve.
The two medics fasten a c-collar around Steve's neck before carefully moving him away from the edge and rolling him onto a backboard. Together, they carefully check Steve over for other injuries. It appears the only thing they find is a broken left arm. They place a splint on his arm before fastening the straps the backboard. One medic signals for the guys in the helicopter to lower the basket. Steve is lifted into the basket and then secured before being raised up into the chopper.
Within minutes, they have Steve and the two medics on board and are flying to the nearest hospital. Danny watches in morbid fascination as the medics take care of Steve. One is monitoring his vital signs and the other is placing an IV line in his right arm.
"Pupils nonreactive and I got blood coming from his ear." The first medic, Brewer, according to the patch on his uniform, said. Prewitt, the other medic, makes note of that on the chart he is writing the vital signs on.
"What's our ETA?" Brewer yells to the pilot.
"Eight minutes to Tripler. Five to Queens. Which one?" The pilot yells back.
"Queens! Commander McGarrett has serious head trauma. He needs a hospital ASAP! Queens has the best trauma center on the island."
Danny is terrified. He has taken enough first aid classes to know that bleeding from the ear is a bad sign of serious head injuries. He also realizes that there isn't any swelling or lumps on Steve's head. Also not a good sign. He remembers from his first aid classes that a goose egg where the hit was indicates that the damage is all outside the skull. No goose eggs or external swelling after a hit as hard as the one Steve took tells them that the swelling could be inside.
They are three minutes from the hospital when Steve starts seizing. The two medics work quickly to get Steve turned on his side and start injecting medications into his IV line to try to get the seizure to stop. When they land on the helo pad at the hospital, Steve is still seizing. Danny follows them inside but is stopped by a nurse when they reach the trauma room doors.
"I'm sorry, Sir; but you can't go in there."
"He's my partner. I need to know he's ok." Danny is still trying to get past her and into the trauma room.
"Sir, as soon as there is news on your partner's condition someone will be out to inform you but until then, the doctors need room to work and they can't do that if you are in the way."
Danny knows she is right but he still doesn't like the fact that he can't be there with Steve right now. He can see into the room through the glass window and is pleased to see that Steve has finally stopped seizing. He lets the nurse show him to the waiting room where he spends the next two hours waiting with Chin and Kono.
After two hours, they are informed that Steve has been taken up to surgery. They move up to the surgical waiting room and resume waiting for news on Steve's condition.
After seven hours and countless cups of bad hospital coffee, a doctor dressed in dark blue surgical scrubs finally emerges from the closed doors.
"Family of Steve McGarrett?" He calls.
Let me know what you think. Is it worth continuing?

Yeah, but once you factor in the HQ (Heart Quotient; Jones 1.7, Rivera 0.5) Roller Coaster has the obvious edge.
Drew Sharp had a blurb in today's Free Press in which he argued that "making a one-year commitment to Todd Jones for 2008 is still a better financial and competitive investment than giving Mariano Rivera three years at nearly $40 million."
It isn't that assertion that bothers me. One could make an argument that an affordable 1 year deal to provide some depth while your closer in waiting matures is more fiscally responsible than sinking big money into a position that can be filled for less. I'm not going to get into that discussion right now.
But as part of his reasoning Sharp asserted:
Rivera is a future Hall of Famer, but he's 38 and living more off previous reputation than any current intimidation factor.
There isn't much distinguishing him — right now — from Jones from a production standpoint.
This is just wrong. Sharp offers no proof of this preposterous assertion, he just leaves it to the reader to believe him. In case you don't want to take Drew Sharp at face value, here are their 2007 stats, I'll let you figure out which pitcher is which.
Stat PitA PitB IP 71.1 61.1 H 68 64 HR 4 3 BB 12 23 SO 74 33 R 25 29 FIP 2.61 3.88
Jones probably gets too much grief for what he isn't. But to assert they are the same player from "a production standpoint" is just, umm, pick your adjective.

DREW SHARP: Todd Jones a better signing than Mariano Rivera
Yeah, but once you factor in the HQ (Heart Quotient; Jones 1.7, Rivera 0.5) Roller Coaster has the obvious edge.
Here's an equation for ya
If Todd Jones > Mariano River, Then Drew Sharp = Pompous Windbag
Oops, that should read Mariano Rivera
I had a visitor from out of town earlier this year. He went through the Freep sports section and read some articles. I don't even remember what the subject of the article was, but it was a Sharp piece. My buddy wrinkled his nose and asked, "Is this guy always such an IDIOT??" 'Nuff said.
It could have as easily been Gage or Parker. It's the same here in Minn. – lots of rah-rah, the manager is a genius and the players are all great (until they are traded or released), never a discouraging word, and heaven forbid any in-depth statistical analysis. Maybe job security encourages this approach, but the result is that they just become shills for the teams. The writing style is generally so weak and the information so thin (lots of quotes from manager X or player Y, though), that in most cases all you have to do is read the headline, skip the body of the text and go on to the box score. For the hardcore fan the information you seek is not to be found in the newspaper. Thank goodness for the internet.
Parker is the worst writer ever.
I never know how he can get on ESPN from time to time or how he even holds a job.
9/10 articles he writes are total trash.
Gage isn't great but itsn't horrid IMO
Henning is a little better
I like Caputo, but that could just be me, I think probably 7 or 8 times out of ten I agree with him.
What's this? Drew Sharp spouting off garbage that is just untrue because he doesn't know baseball? I am shocked, SHOCKED I say.
Him and Rob Parker are ridiculous. I pity anyone who takes what they say about the Tigers with more then a grain of salt.
One of the amusing parts of this is that you don't even have to dig into sabermetric analysis to conclude that Rivera is better than Jones. It's obvious on its face.
Yeah, not surprising. The old media press is ghastly. You have to remember that these guys get these jobs, and then hold onto them until a better one comes along or they die. They are protected by their union, and young talent cannot get a break. This is why good writers like Bill Simmons end up on ESPN Page2 while we get mediocre column writers.
My review of the Detroit sports press:
Mitch Albom: Quality of columns took a big dive once he became a famous author. He's simply doing way too much and it affects the quality of his work.
Terry Foster: I generally like his stuff. Still sort of writes like a "beat writer" and not a feature columnist, though.
Mike O'Hara: Solid veteran old media guy. Writes cogent, to the point articles that are hard hitting. Maybe my favorite of the bunch.
Lynn Henning: Fairly pedestrian. Changed his mind on Sean Casey based on basically nothing. He ripped that guy early in the year, and changed his mind based on a barely .300 batting average with no power and no RBI's.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one Rob. There are a few blind spots in your analysis.
First off, newspapers have been getting pounded with job cuts, buyouts, etc, left and right. Unions are battered. Heck, the Freep just announced 100 buyouts Friday. Nationwide, papers are cutting across the board, including beats and seniority doesn't help.
Ask Perry Farrell about and his Detroit Pistons beat about how Remember him? Replaced by Krista (Latham) Jahnke when she was what, a year or two out of college? He ended up on the Detroit-Mercy beat and then preps. We have Mike Rosenberg in his low 30s or so as a columnist at the Freep. We have Jon Paul Morosi at the Freep, probably around 30 also.
Right there, we see three young, talented writers.
Perhaps you work in the industry. I'm getting my information from what Bill Simmons said in his quasi-biography "Now I Can Die In Piece."

This is why teams fight for home field
Prior to the Seattle Seahawks win last night, there was an ongoing trend throughout the first three games of wild-card weekend. The home teams were 3-0 and the road teams left a lot to be desired, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.
You've heard me refer to the age-old strategy in the NFL to win at home and split on the road. It's a very basic formula to a 12-4 regular season and provides a two-game buffer to secure a 10-win season, which almost always translates to a spot in the playoffs. But that's the regular season. In the playoffs, there is no such formula, no splitting wins and losses. You come out flat, and your season is over.
Just ask the Bengals. They traveled to Houston to kick off the postseason and in what turned out to be a sleeper of a game, failed to convert a single third down (0 for 9) and never even targeted their best offensive weapon until the second half. It was the first time in A.J. Green's two-year career in which a ball hadn't even been thrown in his direction for the first two quarters. And this was against a Texans defense in which the secondary is the most obvious weakness.
Defensively, the Bengals held their own by giving up just three field goals in the first half and scoring a touchdown of their own. So even with the anemic offense producing just 53 total yards in the first half, the Bengals trotted into the locker room with just a two-point deficit.
It was much of the same in the second half. The Bengals were able to move the ball down the field with a little more success, but still failed to score an offensive touchdown the entire game. In two career playoff games, both on the road, Andy Dalton is now 0-2 with four interceptions and no touchdowns.
The Vikings were up next and were coming off a confidence-building win over these exact same Packers just one week ago. The difference? That Week 17 game was played in Minnesota, now the Vikings would have to travel to Lambeau Field and beat a team they were playing for the third time in six weeks.
While the Vikings started the game with a 10-play, 53-yard drive that resulted in a field goal and an early three-point lead, they punted on their next four possessions in the first half.
They were already trailing 24-3 by the time they got the ball in the second half. That first possession resulted in a fumble. The next? An interception. They followed those two turnovers with another punt and then turned the ball over on downs before finally scoring with just 3:39 remaining in the game.
Then it was the Colts' turn. They didn't do any better. This emotionally charged game featured cancer-stricken Chuck Pagano's return to Baltimore along with Ray Lewis' announcement that he would be retiring at the conclusion of the postseason.
It was almost unfair to ask Andrew Luck, in his first career playoff game, to travel to Baltimore and face the Ravens in what will end up being Lewis' final game in M&T Bank Stadium. To make matters worse, his quarterback mentor, offensive coordinator and partial head coach Bruce Arians would be hospitalized before the game, therefore unable to even be at the stadium, let alone be the voice in his ear before stepping into every huddle.
With everything stacked against them, the Colts and Andrew Luck were unable to overcome all the adversity like they did in the regular season. The Colts weathered the storm early with just a four-point halftime deficit, but succumbed to the home-team energy and finished with a 24-9 loss. Luck had an interception and a lost fumble and the Colts failed to score a single touchdown.
With the first three games in the book, the road teams combined for just one offensive touchdown, and that was in mop-up time.
It looked like it would be no different for the Seahawks with the way things started in Washington D.C. After just two possessions, the Seahawks trailed 14-0 and had been outgained 129 yards to -2 and had possessed the ball nearly 10 minutes fewer than the Redskins.
Nonetheless, the Seahawks were able to bounce back and eventually win the game 24-14, becoming the only road team to advance to the divisional round.
This trend is likely to continue next as three of the four games will be rematches of games played during the regular season. In those three games, the home teams won them all. Seattle vs. Atlanta is the only matchup that wasn't played already this year.
It is because of this that teams fight so hard, even after clinching a playoff berth, to better their postseason seeding. Look at the AFC field as a prime example. The No. 1 seed was still up for grabs entering Week 17 with the Texans, Broncos and Patriots all within striking distance. The Texans would secure home-field advantage throughout with a win, but instead, they lost while the Broncos and Patriots both won, dropping the Texans from one to three in the AFC playoff field.
Not only do they have to play an extra game, but now, Houston's road to the Super Bowl goes through New England and, most likely, Denver. Tell me that's not significant.

San Francisco Moments
Let me be honest, 2015 was tough. So I was more than happy to ring in the new year, full of hope for better things to come.
One of my dear friends Allison lives in California and I have been wanting to visit her for a while. Since I had some time off around Christmas, I decided to spend New Years with her. Allison planned a trip to San Francisco for us since it had been a while since she had been to the city, and I am so glad she did.
We spent several days exploring, celebrating, and eating our way through San Francisco, and it was amazing. I loved every moment. Since Allison and I traveled the world together, we have a similar style of travel where we plan a loose schedule but leave room for ample spontaneous adventures.
San Francisco has a great public transportation system which we took full advantage of. We also enjoyed walking all around the city and averaged about nine miles of walking a day! Which meant we could eat as much of the fabulous food as we wanted. I enjoyed Japanese Ramen, Thai food, Indian food, and incredible brunch at Mission Beach Cafe.
Shortly before the holidays I also finally invested in a DSLR camera and I brought it along to get used to using it. Allison, a photography wiz, graciously showed me some tips and took some photos and video with my new camera as well.
I have declared 2016 the "year of new adventures" and it has already proven to be just that. Cheers to 2016 and all the new experiences life brings.

I agree with Kahless78. Nobody said it would be unplayable lol. That platform just isn't optimal is all.
Curious to see how it would run on watch dogs 2 and the witcher 3. Probably like ****...
Well, actually runs pretty good !!!
Watch Dogs 2 ... stays above 30fps ... not ideal but decent enough cpu and gpu utilization.
Witcher 3 ... totally fine.
Both like heavy threaded cpu's so the X6 oc'd can still do some damage, but if you're wanting super high mins than sure, an i5/i7 oc'd will be the way to go.

BLURB: Sexy-as-sin bounty hunter Hunter Jones lives, eats, and breathes his next case. He's always been content to live his life on the road with no attachments and no one to answer to. Love is for other people. But when he stops in a small town for a little R&R and meets up with a fellow bounty hunter to review a case, he runs into the man of his wet dreams. Hunter isn't ready for love, but Van turns his head and heart upside down.
Donovan "Van" Madsen has it all: a lucrative business, a close-knit family, and a best friend. But something is missing. Van always dreamed of finding the "one," but never thought it would happen … until Hunter.
The mutual attraction is instant and intense between the two men. Neither can say goodbye.
When trouble brews and Van is kidnapped, Hunter realizes life is too short to not take what he wants. In this action-packed romance, both men's lives are on the line and their love might not be enough to save them.
I said that 2017 was going to be my year of re-reads and finding new authors. I've just found my first one of the year, Dakota Storm. And what a find – well I suppose technically, she found me…….
Dakota Storm is a newbie author, this is her debut book and I was left thinking with the thought, that if this is her first, what high quality entertainment is she going to be offering in the future? Because she is going to have to go some to beat this, I loved it.
She'd done her homework, it was very polished and had that insta-love shine that gave it the gleam of a 5* read for me. Yes, there were a couple of things that didn't sit quite right with me – one being the excessive use of "babe" but hey, she is a new author, learning her trade, for me a little hiccup, no real biggie and certainly not enough to deter me from my 5* rating.
Van Donovan and his best friend, Matty, own their own Construction Business, with Van studying architecture at night school. The business is doing well and Van should be content but he likes the bad boys, being dominated (with a light dose of a little rough) and the one-night stands that these bad boys offer, no longer has the appeal. He wants a bad boy but commitment as well, something he knows he is not going to get.
Hunter Jones is truly the epitome of a bad boy AND a Bounty Hunter to boot. He likes his one-night stands (his job doesn't allow anything else) and as he is on the-top-of-his-game both professionally and sexually, he doesn't want to change that.
One of his business associates, Rowdy, claims that he is working undercover for the FBI and needs Hunter's help. At the same time, he meets Van. Instantly his gut-feeling kicks in and he knows that Van is special, honest and totally trustworthy, unlike Rowdy. Something is going on with Rowdy and Hunter doesn't like it one little bit.
The author then gave us an exciting and well researched storyline. I was enthralled from start to finish. I liked how she didn't pussyfoot around Van and Hunter's feelings for each other, they both knew what they wanted and went for it – these two weren't pussies but both Tigers and would kill to protect what was their's!
Looking forward to see what else Dakota Storm has planned for us in the future.
Five WOW, WOW, KAPOW stars from me.

The City of Surrey (Surrey) has been one of British Columbia's fastest growing cities over the last six years. With approximately 480,000 residents, it is also the province's second largest city by population after Vancouver.
As a large and rapidly growing municipality, Surrey required an experienced, reliable partner to help install, manage and maintain its water utility needs. The ideal candidate had to be able to deliver a broad range of diverse services, including those related to special initiatives.
Corix Utilities now provides the City with a full range of water metering services and support. It offers fully integrated services, products and systems to deliver a complete, effective solution.
Corix currently reads all of Surrey's water meters, covering some 160,000 meters per year. We also provide ongoing meter repair, upgrade services and on and off-site meter testing to ensure accurate, current and complete metering results.
To ensure all water meters conform to City standards, Corix recently undertook a full meter rectification and inspection program covering almost 600 sites. Older, direct read meters were replaced as required with accurate, state-of-the-art AMR systems and meter vaults were inspected and improved, facilitating future maintenance.
By law, all new residential units in Surrey require water meters. Corix was contracted to install these water meters, with approximately 2,400 new home installations completed per year since 2002.
In 1998, Surrey decided to implement a voluntary water metering incentive program designed to help homeowners conserve water and reduce energy costs. Corix worked with the City to execute the $9 million initiative, providing and installing the required high-tech water meters. Additionally, in order to ensure residents understood the benefits of metering over flat-rate services, as well as the details of the new program, Corix helped create an engaging public outreach program. Response was positive, with participation in the program meeting expectations.
By selecting Corix Utilities to be its primary supplier of water utility services, Surrey effectively maximizes its resources, leveraging our breadth of capabilities to streamline all its water utility services.

Ford revealed today the standards that every 1,100 remaining U.S. Lincoln dealers must meet by the end of the year in order to continue selling the brand. We have to admit that some of them are really interesting.
First requirement, is what Lincoln calls "owner privileges", and means that each dealer must provide a free car wash and loaner vehicle to owners who come in for service. Moreover, each Lincoln dealer must have a dedicated service manager and dedicated sales staff.
One interesting requirement is having only the word "Lincoln" appear on all franchise signage and not Mercury, as you may know already that the Mercury brand was discontinued on December 31. One last requirement would be having at least 30 percent of used-vehicle inventory be certified pre-owned vehicles.
"We believe everything we're laying out is more than reasonable compared to our competitors," said Christian Bokich, a Lincoln spokesman. Regarding the requirements, some Lincoln dealerships said that it will be a tough challenge for smaller stores to comply with the changes. Still, Ford will keep its decision and said that all Lincoln dealers are expected to meet the demands by October 1 or sell their franchises back to Ford. [via autonews - sub. required]

Good pizza. Great service, and quiet atmosphere. It's a local place that may get overlooked easily, but you will miss out on a great restaurant.
Had dinner with my family there. Everyone's food was great. Our waitress was very helpful with the options, polite was there when we needed her and not there when we didn't.
Great atmosphere family owned. You get get take out or sit in dining room which I did had antipasto and shrimp parmigiana it was very fresh nice sauce.
This is where we had dinner after the rehearsal. After going through the door to what looked like a closet, stairs took us down to a great private area. Food and service were great, and the main restaurant was quite busy!
One of the best Italian places I have EVER ate at in my entire life! Great customer service, very comfortable environment and the BEST food I've ever ate! Reasonably priced too!
Met some friends here for dinner, and thought it was pretty good for a first time visit. The food was tasty, service was attentive and friendly...and the appetizers, dinners and drinks ended up being not too crazy on the bill. We all enjoyed our meals,...More
Can't say enough good things about this place. Everytime we come to Pittsburgh, we eat here. Amazing Italian food. Linguini Carbonara is fantastic. Also great Wedding and potatoes soups. Great service as well.
