(UPDATED: See below.)
Three months ago, the California Public Employees' Retirement Fund committed $700 million to a newly formed San Francisco private-equity firm called Health Evolution Partners, promising that the resulting investments would aim to improve healthcare efficiency and to bring down soaring medical costs. At the time, however, the partners were purposefully vague about exactly how they planned to proceed. (See our coverage here.)
Today, HEP began to outline exactly how it intends to begin transforming the healthcare system. In a speech in New York, HEP founder David Brailer, formerly national coordinator for health information technology in the Bush administration, said the fund will devote $500 million to direct investments in late-stage healthcare companies, reserving the remaining $200 million for startup investments in partnership with a syndicate of existing venture investors. In an interview with VentureBeat Life Sciences, Brailer didn't identify any members of that venture syndicate, but said HEP would likely announce its first partner this year.
Brailer said HEP's investments in later-stage companies will likely be in the $10 million to $80 million range, although in practice, he said, the range will likely be "tighter." The fund doesn't intend to make direct investments in startup firms at first, and instead plans to invest up to $100 million in venture funds raised by its syndicate partners. Over time, HEP may also co-invest another $100 million alongside its partners.
HEP plans to target its investments to companies whose services, technologies or IT strategies hold the potential to upend established healthcare practices in ways that reduce spending. "This is about getting more value out of existing spending, not increasing spending," Brailer said.
Brailer said HEP would assess potential investments by assigning companies a "health value" score that would be calculated by a coalition of organizations "anchored" by HEP. That metric will score three main parameters — whether a company can produce cost efficiencies that won't simply be absorbed by another component of the healthcare system; whether it is improving the efficiency of medical treatments by boosting patient compliance or by targeting treatments more precisely to the patients likely to benefit; and whether its business emphasizes giving consumers more power to make decisions about their own healthcare.
HEP plans to make those scores public for companies in its portfolio, and eventually hopes to encourage major healthcare buyers to require companies to disclose their scores as well. Brailer stressed that while high health-value scores will influence HEP's investments, the fund still intends to emphasize traditional measures of financial performance.
Although Brailer said HEP would be open to investing in a variety of healthcare-related sectors, he said the largest efficiency opportunities appeared to lie in healthcare services, information, devices and diagnostics. Diagnostic tests, for instance, might indicate whether patients will really benefit from expensive cancer chemotherapy, potentially saving money by restricting the treatment for those most likely to respond. Some medical devices might substitute for surgery or expensive, long-term drug treatment. Information systems could make doctors more efficient and "disrupt" existing wasteful processes, Brailer suggests.
HEP doesn't seem likely to show much interest in biotech or pharmaceuticals, however. Brailer said he considers those industries "overcapitalized" and questioned whether the heathcare system is really benefiting from a steady onslaught of pricey new drugs. "Over time, we may be asking a lot of questions about these drugs."
Of course, another term for what HEP hopes to encourage is "healthcare rationing," albeit a version driven by market forces and — one hopes — solid medical evidence. It's hard not to be encouraged by an effort of this scale that aims to actually reverse the seemingly endless spiral of medical costs, which as I've described earlier, has no shortage of dire consequences for the average American worker. But it will be interesting to see if this sort of rationing draws anywhere near the sort of opprobrium as previous free-market efforts to rein in healthcare spending — such as, for instance, the practices of HMOs during the 1980s and 1990s.
HEP's press release on the subject is here; a PDF background document on its strategy is here.
UPDATED: Added links to HEP's press materials and revised slightly throughout.

Its not as bad what they did to the Isles but its awful, that Racheunek call was so awful
I know with the draft you guys are really worked up... BUT, in the Rangers game, the game is CLEARLY being giftwrapped for the sabres. Even the slug fans agree. Never have i seen such AWFUL officiating. This is REAL BULL****
Its not as bad what they did to the Isles but its awful, that Racheunek call was so awful
Total BS, I would really think this game is fixed if I didn't know better
Really who cares.
Now that Sid the whiner and the Penguins are out, it's obvious that the NHL has designated the Sabres as the 'darling' team of the 2007 playoffs.
I think it is fixed.Originally Posted by Ikeyman3
so now the rangers get a taste of what the isles had to endure.
As a Rangers fan, I sympathize with your feelings.Originally Posted by JacksonHtsJetFan
But, why would the league 'giftwrap' a Sabres win, at the expense of the team that plays in the world's largest market?
Doesn't make sense.
Bettman would give his left nut to have the Rangers play into the Finals.
I hate the fishsticks, so I didn't watch their series at all....but if the offficiating was anything like this series, it is shameful.Originally Posted by teng

The game should be over with that second goal for the Rangers should have counted.
it was worse and its not fixed by the NHL. They would cream over a NYC team in the finals itd be a huge ratings boost. Buffalo has nothing going for them but a huge fan base and that doesnt help the NHL. Maybe the refs hate Sean Avery that much lol.Originally Posted by Greenwave81

The NHL is going out of their way to ensure smaller market teams survive..they have NO interest in the original six most of whom are solvent getting anything.
If the NHL wanted the Rangers to win so bad (give his left nut in your words), they would have ensured that the Penguins didn't get the first overall pick out of the entry draft 4 out of 5 years, including Crosby
coming out of the lockout.
Bettman HATES the Rangers...all you have to do is listen to him.
I really like this commercial with the Spiderman guy who goes, I webbed you that means you got the apartment.
Yeah...because teams in Buffalo NEVER have gotten shafted by bad officiating.
Let's just call it karma...

GENEVA -- Michael Schumacher called canceling his much-anticipated Formula One comeback a "really sad moment."
He had wanted to help the Ferrari team by replacing injured driver Felipe Massa but was unable to do so because of lingering pain from a motorcycle crash six months ago.
"It's a really sad moment, probably one of my toughest," Schumacher said. "I felt back alive and now I had to cancel all this.
"We kept trying to keep the pain and the inflammation in check, including with drugs, but in the end it didn't work."
The German, who retired at the end of the 2006 season after a 15-year career in which he won 91 races in 250 starts, said any talk of later returning to F1 was speculation.
"From a purely medical point of view, there are no reasons why that couldn't be the case. But it's certainly not a topic that I'm considering right now," he said.
Schumacher, visibly subdued sitting between his doctor Johannes Peil and manager Willi Weber, said the euphoria surrounding his possible return was "extreme, and so of course the disappointment is extreme, too."
Peil said it was a fracture at the base of Schumacher's skull that prevented the return, rather than the fractured vertebra and rib he also hurt in the bike crash earlier this year.
It was too early to say whether the injuries would heal enough to allow Schumacher to make a later comeback, Peil said.
The decision for Schumacher to pull out came after he tested an old Ferrari at the Mugello circuit in Italy last week. Ferrari will now promote test driver Luca Badoer, who Schumacher said was well-prepared to replace Massa.

You've spent hundreds of hours building a giant golden toilet in Minecraft on Xbox 360, and you don't want to abandon all of the hard work you have poured into your masterpiece. Well, Mojang and Microsoft have made sure that won't happen.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed this morning that saves from Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will work with Xbox One version. Microsoft worked directly with Mojang to get that working. This means that players can take along everything they've built from the 360 and continue tinkering and adding to it on the newest Xbox. Minecraft, an adventure game that enables players to build Lego-like structures with different kinds of blocks, is phenomenally popular. The 360 version alone has surpassed 12 million in sales. A big part of that success is due to players feeling a strong connection with the things they build. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is due out this year.
Spencer did not specify how this transfer system will work. In his tweet, he promised more information soon. We've reached out to Microsoft and Mojang for more, and we'll update this post with any new information.
Mojang is also working on versions for PlayStation 4 and Vita, which the developer's communication specialist, Owen Hill, says is due out in the next six months.
Minecraft is out now for PC, mobile, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. In a PlayStation blog, Hill also confirmed that the studio is working on a way for PS3 players to transition their saves to PS4.
"The plan is to enable users to transfer from PS3 to PS4," he wrote. "We're still working out how it'll work with the Vita version."

Word on the street was that I could escape here; on a path that belonged only to me, and it would take me anywhere I had the will and determination to go. When I opened the door to Cafe Passé, I was surer than ever they had lied to me. I went in anyway, unable to pass up the possibility that they might be right.
Inside, red neon tangled obscure runes on the walls, the secret language of rebirth and deliverance, that combined with the warmer than average temperature, to give the room a womblike ambiance.
There were five round tables, covered in white clothes that went all the way down to the floor. Each table had one chair, and a Rever. Three of the tables were already occupied by Reverants, dreaming travelers, whose entire right hands were concealed inside the shiny silver Rever's, as their current existence was being over written by the music and drugs. One look told me they were completely outside themselves, their bodies abandoned in the wake of a chemically harmonious liftoff.
Scanning the room, I studied them, and wondered if their choices had taken them to the past, the potential future, or a sideways reality that was better than this one. My fists clenched in impotent fury and doubt. I needed this to be real!
"It's a simple process," the woman taking my payment, and scheduling my appointment told me. "Just come in, sit down at the table, and put your hand in the Rever. It hurts like death, but when the music starts, and drugs are pumping, it's all good."
Determined to do this right, my drug of choice was 835T, commonly known as BEST. One hit cost me a lifetime, but with BEST, one is all it took. "If you hit the ride right, you can slide right off this world, and into the best one you could ever have. Hell, even better, you get to stay there. A soul reborn into a better version of the life you've already failed." Technically, it was suicide, but that was illegal, and so the talking heads spun Revering into a lifestyle choice; a do over, to make things right.
Revering wasn't something done on a whim. It took money, planning and commitment. I'd thought about this for years, how old I would be, what time I would do it, right down to the minute, but for all of my life what had eluded me was the track. I had lived in this cursed existence for forty-two years before I found it.
I heard it only once, just a snippet, but I knew the Beastie Boys, Shadrach was the track I needed to take me there. It was old, and at first that pissed me off. I could have gone so much sooner than forty-two, but then it hit me. I needed to be ready, to get my head right, and even though the song had been written a hundred years before I was born, and fifty years before Revering existed, I wasn't ready until now.
Clutching this this pounding gritty key in the curves of my grey matter, I would compress my essence into invisible waves of soul glide, and aimed like a bullet at an alternate universe, I would fire myself into the life of the man I should have been, in a world where I would be the fourth man in the fire, and I would find all the things lost or denied to me because once upon a time I turned left.
I approached the first empty table, and noticed a card that read, All Along the Watchtower. Someone wanted to be a hero, a mystical knight. That was someone else. I put the card down, trying to image who would choose such a fate? I thought of lingering to meet them, or at least see this would be hero with my own eyes, but I shook it off, refusing the distraction of a look into a world where I would never belong.
At the last empty table I saw Shadrach on the card. I pulled the chair out, and sat down quickly, afraid even now I would change my mind after coming so far. That cowardice and self-doubt were just two of the many reasons I wanted out. I took a deep breath, looked at the door, maybe hoping for a glimpse of the mystical knight, stuck my hand into the Rever, and started to slide.

I cannot seem to get the toggle visibility action for detail or group sections to work in the newest version. I see in the release notes that IToggleVisibilityTarget and ToggleVisibilityTargetCollection are now obsolete and deprecated. I made sure that the report I'm working on is not using those. It is using the IActionTarget. It works fine for textboxes within the same report section, but it does nothing when you try to have a detail or group section toggled. Here is a code snippet:
Telerik.Reporting.ToggleVisibilityAction toggleVisibilityAction1 = new Telerik.Reporting.ToggleVisibilityAction();
toggleVisibilityAction1.DisplayExpandedMark = false;
toggleVisibilityAction1.Targets.AddRange(new Telerik.Reporting.IActionTarget[] {this.detail});
this.textBox5.Action = toggleVisibilityAction1;
This is also isn't working for groupHeaderSection/groupFooterSection, whereas it was working fine in the previous version.
I have the detail section visibility set to false. When I click the expand option it processes the report again and the toggle mark goes from + to -, but the detail section is not visible. Is there something wrong on my end or is there a known issue?

Most investors believe their financial advisors are competent and ethical. Otherwise, they would terminate the relationships. The same investors also believe they are protected by industry regulators. The article Many Years of Overlooked Red Flags Catch Up to Stockbroker will open your ideas to what is really going on.
The stockbroker, who is named in the article, worked at Merrill Lynch for 19 years. He had more than 60 client complaints on his record. He resigned in 2010 when the company started an investigation based on a client complaint. The company subsequently paid $12 million to settle complaints against him and the firm. Clearly, Merrill Lynch did not view it as their responsibility to do what was best for clients. There is a good chance the broker produced substantial revenue for Merrill Lynch so he stayed employed with active securities licenses.
FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) finally barred him from the business after 69 complaints that occurred over a 13-year period. It took an incredible 13 years for this agency to react to an extraordinary number of complaints. Clearly, FINRA did not view it as their responsibility for 13 years. In case you don't know this, Wall Street firms fund FINRA. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The SEC, does not regulate stockbrokers (FINRA does), but it sued the broker for his alleged participation in a Ponzi scheme. His current broker/dealer, yes he still had active securities licenses, terminated him when the lawsuit was made known to them. Given his history at Merrill Lynch and FINRA, you should be asking why another broker/dealer would hire or license him.
Now the FBI enters the picture. Last month, yes last month, it charged him with selling unregistered securities. Investors lost $7 million while he is supposed to have made $5 million in commissions.
If you are an astute investor this is a wake-up call that you have to pay more attention to the competence and ethics of the financial advisors who influence or control your financial decisions. Do not assume the industry will protect you from unethical financial advisors. If you are an apathetic investor, go back to sleep.

MATE – the Marine Advanced Technology Education Center – is headquartered at Monterey Peninsula College in Monterey, California. With the mission of increasing the size of the country's marine technical workforce, MATE sponsors the annual ROV competition, which brings together students from around the country in a competition to construct remotely operated vehicles – underwater robots – an event that helps participants hone their technical skills and introduces them to the field of marine technology, as we learned in this week's Episode.
In this week's Episode, MATE Coordinator Jill Zande told ATETV, "The skills that students learn [as part of the ROV competition] can be applied in many different fields. They can become ROV engineers and pilots or they can choose to use their engineering and their technical skills to support other underwater technology platforms."
Monterey Peninsula College is an obvious choice for an education in marine technology – students at the Northern California seaside campus can take a variety of classes – everything from Environmental Regulations to Research Diving and Safety – in their pursuit of either an A.S. degree or Certificate Program study in Marine Science and Technology.
But MATE'S Marine Science programs aren't confined to California; colleges throughout the U.S. – North, South, East and West – provide a wide variety of aquatic programs for ocean-minded students. For example:
In the Northeast, Southern Maine Community College offers students an A.S. degree in Applied Marine Biology & Oceanography. Skills that can be learned through the curriculum – which emphasizes hands-on laboratory and field procedures – can be applied to careers in aquatic research and ecosystem management, with special attention given to collecting and identifying a diversity of marine organisms, conducting oceanographic sampling procedures aboard the school's own research vessel, and microbiology and chemistry laboratory techniques.
Heading further down the East Coast, New York's Kingsborough Community College is located on a 72-acre waterfront campus in Brooklyn, and offers a two year Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Marine Technology with a focus on vessel operations. Sample courses include Vessel Technology I and II, in which students are introduced to seamanship theory and the fundamentals of vessel handling through extensive on-board training, including piloting, operating rigging and deck machinery, as well as classes in Marine Electronics and Navigation. Students who have completed this program work in positions such as chief mate, captain, small engine mechanic, assistant manager of a marina, tug crew and mate on a private yacht.
Continuing the voyage south, the Marine Technology curriculum at Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, North Carolina provides students with extensive shipboard experience and a hands-on approach to skills training from its location on the banks of the Cape Fear River. The curriculum prepares students to use and maintain electronic navigation devices, physical and chemical measuring instruments and sampling devices and Cape Fear graduates have gone on to positions in the U.S. Navy, the National Marine Fisheries Service and Lucent Technologies, among others.
Not surprisingly, a number of marine technology programs are based at Florida schools, including Florida Keys Community College where A.S. degrees are offered in Diving, Marine Environmental Technology and Marine Engineering. Located in Key West, FKCC's program in Diving Business and Technology is especially popular, providing the education and diving core requirements needed for a career as a SCUBA instructor, a dive boat captain, a commercial diver, police diver or scientific research diver, as well as careers in dive medicine.
But, you don't have to be on one of the coasts to take advantage of marine studies — there are numerous technical programs available in the center of the country for students who are interested in working in and around recreational boats. For example, at Tennessee's Chattanooga State Technical Community College, a program in Motorcycle and Marine Service Technology provides students with academics in diagnostics and troubleshooting and maintenance of internal combustion engines and the other electrical and mechanical components necessary to the marine services industry. Similarly, at Iowa Lakes Community College, a curriculum in Marine Service Technology prepares students for careers at marinas, national marine corporations, marine manufacturers and personal watercraft dealerships.
Back on the West Coast, Northern Oregon's Clatsop Community College maintains an active rapport with the U.S. Coast Guard and offers classes in its Maritime Science Department that include Marine Safety, Marine Licensing Programs, Navigation, Charts, Tides and Currents and Boat Handling as well as Marine Licensing Programs and Marine Electronics.
And finally, Saddleback College, located in Southern California's Orange County offers students a certificate program in Aquarium and Aquaculture Science. Courses focus on the science of rearing and caring for marine and freshwater animals and the chemical, physical and biological environment of the aquarium ecosystems, and at the college's 4,500-square-foot aquarium facility, students care for species such as corals, jellyfish, urchins, stars, perch and even sharks.

NJ Transit announced a proposed fare hike Monday that would increase the cost of riding trains and buses in New Jersey by an average of 9 percent. If implemented, the hike would increase the cost of a monthly bus pass between Fair Lawn and Port Authority Bus Terminal by $14, to $167, for example; a monthly train pass between Clifton and Hoboken also would rise by $14, to $170.
"Throughout the past five years, NJ Transit held the line on fare increases while maintaining high quality services," according to a press release from the agency.

So, we've got some bulbs and plants that do better when mulched in the winter, and while I mostly use leaves for this, I've read that using straw can work too.
Does anyone have any experience where they think straw really does work better for mulching plants in the winter? I'd love to hear what people think before I haul off to the feed store and get a hay bale.
Straw and hay are different -
I think if you mulch with hay you will get 'grassy type weeds', which is why they use straw on strawberry beds - straw does not contain seeds, hay probably will. Hope that helps.
Ive used old no good hay from my hay loft for mulch, and yes..it makes for a lot of weeds!!!
Yes - I used it on my vegetable patch, as I had it to hand and did not want to spend out on straw, and I have a very weedy strawberry bed now.
In places that you walk past, try cocoa mulch. It is beautiful and the scent is heavenly - like walking past a chocolate pot of melting sugar.
It is expensive but wonderful!
Pea Hay is a great mulch. Water can penetrate the mulch and reach the soil. It also breaks down to provide valuable nutrients for the soil.
Some mulches look wonderful but actually absorb the water before it reaches the soil and the soil can be left quite dry.
Before adding mulch to a garden bed, treat the soil with a water absorption product.
This is particularly necessary in areas where soil repels water, that is the water runs off the soil and doesn't soak in.
Lupin mulch is another one that I like, full of nutrients and makes the garden look loved.
If you know someone with a horse stable, ask them if you can have the old straw with the horse poo. It is not only a great mulch it feeds the plants as well :-)
We like to use pine needles and leaves. They are both free and sustainable and do a good job in most garden settings.
Malaluca mulch is great and lasts for years! It's called Florimulch but there is only one place that sells it down in south florida. I don't use cypress or pine bark because these are our local trees. Why cut them down? Malaluca, on the other hand, is invasive and they are constantly trying to get rid of it anyways. It's a pretty mulch and it doesn't nest termites. It's awesome!
I use leaves that people leave by the curve and add the mulch over it a month before doing all the planting.

Government unrepentant about handling of ELVs Directive
Environment Minister Elliot Morley dismissed fears of a steep increase in abandoned vehicles over the next few years during the House of Commons Environment Committee's inquiry into the EU Directives on end-of-life vehicles and waste electrical and electronic equipment. The Environment Agency joined metal recyclers in calling for a central fund to help offset the costs of "de-polluting" ELVs and in complaining about the effects of the Government's delay in transposing the Directive.

Subhash Chandra files criminal defamation case against Kejriwal
New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Subhash Chandra today approached a city court seeking prosecution of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly defaming him by levelling false allegations in the wake of demonitisation of higher currency notes.
In his plea, Chandra, chairman of the Essel group, has alleged that Kejriwal, while addressing a press conference on November 11 had made "false, fabricated and defamatory allegations" against him.
The complaint, which is likely to come up for hearing tomorrow, sought Chief Minister's prosecution under section 500 (defamation) of Indian Penal Code.
The complaint, filed through advocate Vijay Aggarwal, claimed that Kejriwal "defamed the complainant (Chandra) by making inherently defamatory statements and caused serious harm to his reputation by imputing behavior incompatible with proper conduct and suggestions of involvement in illegal activity."
"On November 11, Kejriwal, while addressing a press conference in front of the national television, made false, fabricated and defamatory allegations against complainant," it said.
The complaint claimed that Kejriwal, while addressing the press conference, "without any lawful basis or justification, dragged the name of the complainant in the entire façade, which has defamed and lowered the reputation of complainant in the eyes of general public and thus accused person (Kejriwal) has committed the offence of criminal defamation."

A Special Kind of Specialty Pharmacy
Apothecary By Design is a specialty pharmacy headquartered in Portland, Maine, with a regional pharmacy in the Chicago area, and licensed throughout nearly the entire United States. We're focused on the treatment of complex, chronic diseases, such as infertility, hepatitis C, and rheumatoid arthritis.
ABD was founded as a community pharmacy in 2008 by five partners, two of whom are still active in the business. With only a few employees back then, struggling in a difficult economy, everyone pitched in; partners doubled as shipping clerks, and every team member answered the pharmacy's telephone.
A different vision
From the start, we saw ABD as a different type of pharmacy—one that worked as an integral part of the patient's care team, and that actively advocated to achieve the best possible outcomes. So we did things a bit differently, cultivating our staff to form deep connections with patients and providers, to go the extra mile for the people we serve, and to set uncompromising quality standards.
Over time, ABD has successfully realized this vision, as demonstrated by the growth of the business and its recognition in the field of pharmacy. Along the way, ABD has been fortunate to be assisted by community partners such as the City of Portland, Bangor Savings Bank, and the Finance Authority of Maine.
Some things change, some don't
Today, ABD focuses exclusively on specialty pharmacy, is a portfolio company of BelHealth Investment Partners, and has grown to include a regional base. For three years in a row, ABD has been named one of Maine's "Best Places to Work" and has been ranked on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.
We've also been honored as the 2014 Business of the Year by the Portland Development Corporation, a recipient of the 2015 Maine Governor's Award for Business Excellence, and the winner of the 2015 FAME Business at Work for Maine Award.
Our commitment to excellence has been acknowledged in other ways. ABD is one of the few specialty pharmacies to hold three national accreditations: from Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board, and URAC.
To share—and expand—our expertise, ABD has also forged close academic affiliations, including a residency program with the University of New England College of Pharmacy.
Now with more than 100 team members, ABD has grown in size and capabilities. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and serve patients throughout the country. But we retain the personal, high-touch clinical approach for which our team has always been known.
And as we did from the beginning, a team member—a "real person"—always answers the phone.

Action is the second Quinn Anderson's book I read after her debut last year, Hotline. Unfortunately I have likes and dislikes about this book, and it ends up only within my so-so category…
First off, with having only one perspective, I didn't feel like I have enough balance. Yes, I loved Pete Grifflow — I loved his babble, I loved his friends, I loved his mom, and honestly Pete's insecurity issues were a bit endearing (except near the end). BUT I couldn't say the same about his love interest, Evan Darko. He came off as a bit two dimensional and I always got quickly bored with gorgeous and perfect specimen anyway, which was how Evan was described (at least from Pete's perspective).
Second, this book is LONG. While I didn't exactly put it down because I was quite engaged with Pete, but at times I thought that the editor (or Anderson herself) could cut several scenes to make it a bit more effective. And may I say that I really didn't find Pete's smoking habit as attractive? Sorry, but I'm not a fan of smoker characters. So having THAT habit written on page annoyed me. Probably would be the scenes I expect to be deleted.
Third, while Pete did experience growth throughout the book, where he gained confidence while being with Evan, but I was not completely happy when even near the end Pete was still a bit in denial about his relationship. Like he wasn't certain about what Evan saw in him, and he couldn't even say that Evan was his boyfriend.
ALSO, I wasn't completely happy with Pete's decision about whether or not he should be honest about his job as a porn start to his mother.
Having said that, I liked how Anderson sort of "humanized" porn stars. I mean, they like doing what they do. They came to the industry with various reasons and there aren't any angst, guilt, or humiliation coming from these characters. I also appreciated Anderson's reaching out to diversity by having a Muslim female character — a friend of Pete — who also kicks ass in my opinion. Sana's reply to one obnoxious customer at the coffee shop where Pete works his day job is one of my favorite scenes in this book.
In conclusion, I am still going to check out Anderson's next books. But I hope she steps up her game and gives me a more stellar read than the two books in this Murmur Inc. series.

Real Estate Prospecting and Farming | Star Session
On 11, Feb 2014 | No Comments | In REAL Strategies | By David Hess
Did you make it to the Mobility Title-sponsored Star Session on January 29th where three of our own high producing agents told you how they find business (a.k.a. prospecting)? Amy Taylor, Sheila Carney and Alex Saenger, all high income, top producers shared what they do. No theory here; just stuff that works for them.
"Geographic farming makes you a presence in the market." – Amy Taylor
Geographic Farming
Geographic farming is when you pick an area of houses to intensely focus on while also making yourself top of mind to every resident who lives there. Farming broadens your exposure to those who are beyond your sphere of influence. When you start a farm, plan to do it consistently over time and expect to work hard on it for two years before seeing any results (just like a real farm). You must have an organized and calendared plan one year in advance that details what you are going to send out to your farm and lists your plan of action. Your calendar should answer questions such as:
- How often will you walk the farm to meet people?
- What promotions will you do?
- When will you do mailings and what will they focus on?
Hint: People always want to know what sales activities are happening in their specific subdivision. Once you start a farm, you must ALWAYS be on top of the statistics and ready with an answer when someone asks you a question about activity in your farm area.
Don't be intimidated if one agent currently dominates an area (which is rarely the case). When you do mailings, don't be generic and don't do what everyone else does. Be different. Be specific about your unique selling proposition and about the houses in the area you're looking to farm. And remember, farming takes time:
"Don't start working a geographic farm unless you are prepared to work it and invest in it for at least two years without expectation of income."
– Alex Saenger

Are you as eager as us given that the summers are after all here? Study shows that children are frazzled in school with their academics, assignments, the social scene, and all the other activities that keep them active. They want time to chill and lighten up and summer holidays are generally filled with a lot of enjoyment with family and friends and open-air activities.
Moreover, following stimulating picnics on beaches and resorts, playing with friends, swimming in the pool, or otherwise playing cricket and getting exercise, most kids get indoors and look forward to relaxing with their preferred TV shows.
&pictures – India's top mass Hindi film channel - presents a prospect of an ideal afternoon for kids and make sure that they watch a few blockbusters with a delicate life lesson pooled in the most engaging way.
It's newest summer film fiesta, 'Kiddies Express', takes audiences on a fun-filled outing with compelling global successes along with a lot of learning. Starting from Monday, 9th May, it will air daily at 12 noon upto Friday, 13th May.
Get on board the &pictures 'Kiddies Express' that will present the following five movies that will carry your children into a land of imagination:-
Kung Fu Panda
In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda, finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior in spite of the reality that he is overweight and a total beginner at martial arts. The film is directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne and stars the voices of veteran Hollywood talent like Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim, James Hong, and Jackie Chan.
An excerpt from the film:
Po: "Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles."
Oogway: "Quit, don't quit... Noodles, don't noodles... You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
This movie showcases the tale of four animals who have spent their lives in idyllic internment in Manhattan's Central Park Zoo. Chris Rock voices Marty, a cynical zebra is all set for a change after ten years of comfy incarceration at the Zoo.
He flees for the green fields of Connecticut, prompting a rescue operation by his best friends: the Zoo's star draw Alex the lion (Ben Stiller), a domineering hippo named Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith), and the gauche, hypochondriac giraffe Melman (David Schwimmer). They are all of a sudden shipped back to Africa and end up getting stranded on the island of Madagascar.
The movie teaches us to celebrate all that existence throws our means just as like Kurt Vonnegut said, "Enjoy the little things in life cause one day you'll look back and realise that they were the big things!"
Stuart Little 2
In the midst of delicate wittiness, loveable characters, a great screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin (Academy Award-winner, "Ghost"), Stuart Little 2 is one of the finest family films of the summer.
The story begins with Stuart's brother, George (Jonathan Lipnicki has given his voice) having found a new friend to have fun with, leaving Stuart (brilliantly voiced by Michael J. Fox) feeling left out. His mother Mrs. Little (Geena Davis' voice) is jealous of her tiny younger son after he barely escapes an injury in a soccer fixture.
His father (voice over by Hugh Laurie) sympathizes, but reminds Stuart of an old family adage, "Always look for the silver lining in the cloud." The silver lining appears when Stuart rescues a homeless bird named Margelo (voiced by Melanie Griffith) from the sinister Falcon. They become friends and all is well until Margelo disappears one night.
Stuart is convinced that Falcon is conscientious and ventures out with the family cat Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane) to salvage her. Stuart Little 2 is a must-watch movie for its characters, dialogue, composition and animation and entertaining moments. Stuart Little is brave and modest while Snowbell is very funny.
This visually remarkable movie provides hearty amusement for kids with Stuart enlightening us with some solemn companionship goals like strength of mind, faith, esteem, and recognition.
Based on a dazzling picture book story of the same name by Chris Van Allsberg, Jumanji takes us in the course of a stunning exquisite escapade and makes it into a breathtaking outing that defies everything. The brilliant amalgamation of adventure and pleasantry are the big attractions. An eternal adventure movie, Jumanji is in relation to two kids who play a magical board game.
While playing it, they let go an adult ensnared in the game. They come across different dangers which will come to an end only when the game is finished. The movie was written by Greg Taylor, Jonathan Hensleigh and Jim Strain. It stars Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, David Alan Grier, Bonnie Hunt, Jonathan Hyde and Bebe Neuwirth.
Mr. Go
A snappy description and a number of really astonishing technical expertise coalesce to craft Mr Go one of the top family films with big laughs, big emotion and even bigger thrills. Its appealing plot offers a meticulously pleasant experience for all ages. It is based on the classic 1980s comic '7th Baseball Club', the ostensible character refers to a 285 kg circus gorilla who is the first to be recruited by a savvy baseball manager to join the professional Korean Baseball League.
Setting the arena for the gorilla Ling Ling's expedition to Korea is the Great Sichuan Earthquake in 2008, which causes the death of 15- year old Wei Wei's (Jiao Xu) grandfather and leaves her in charge of his circus with a huge debt over their heads. As debtors pester her, Wei Wei is left beleaguered on how to save the circus and the forty other orphans who stay under its roof.
And so, when the wily Sung (Korean actor Sung Dong-il) comes in to lend a hand, she readily accepts his bid to make over Ling Ling into a baseball star. Dreaming of success, Weiwei and Ling Ling go to South Korea and Ling Ling promptly becomes a superstar in the baseball league.
What makes it a must-see movie is that it makes you smirk with its gratifying, touching and inspiring narrative.
Catch the 'Kiddies Express' from Monday, 9th May to Friday, 13th May daily at 12 noon only on &pictures!

Ridgewater vs. Mesabi Range preview
MESABI OVERVIEW: The Norsemen piled up 396 yards in a 33-12 victory over Fergus Falls last Saturday. Avery Walker rushed for 124 yards and three touchdowns in 16 carries. Quarterback Howard Anthony passed for 127 yards and a touchdown. The defense gave up 182 rushing but allowed the Spartans less than 50 yards in the air. Every indication is that Mesabi is more potent than the Itasca team that Ridgewater met in last week's opener.
RIDGEWATER OVERVIEW: The Warriors will be looking for their first points at Virginia after falling 7-0 to the Vikings at the Kick-off Classic in St. Cloud. After a lifeless first half, Ridgewater started moving on the ground, but failed to finish off drives. The Warriors ended up with 195 yards of total offense. "Our run blocking was poor in the first half, though the pass protection was good," said head coach Rob Baumgarn. "The defense played well overall, especially the linebackers (Brennen Hagert, Jon Cross and Rob Diane). We're so raw and so young. I hope we got the jitters out and show some emotion this week. We better be ready to play. Mesabi is a good football team."

Mick Jagger To Host 'SNL' Season Finale: Predicting the Sketches
Although you might already be planning your gymnastics festival for the commemoration of Atatürk, you'll want to keep May 19 open, as this date marks the season finale of Saturday Night Live, which will feature host/musical guest Mick Jagger. This will mark the Rolling Stones frontman's first stint as solo host of the show. He and the band made their first SNL appearance back in 1978 — that's an enviable span of relevance.
There is no shortage of fun that Saturday Night Live can have with Jagger at the wheel, especially considering his persistently active professional life. Here are a few pieces of the rock legend's recent limelight activity that might be fruitful sketch material.
Jagger's Duet with Barack Obama
Earlier in 2012, Jagger performed at the White House, welcoming President Barack Obama onstage to join him in a rendition of "Sweet Home Chicago." Jagger can team with Fred Armisen (in the latter's final performance as an SNL cast member) in a sketch that takes the pair's musical collaboration on the road — complete with Kenan Thompson as an overshadowed B.B. King.
Jagger's Exclusion from the "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)" Performance at the AMAs
In late 2011, will.i.am released the single "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)," on which Jagger and Jennifer Lopez provide vocals, but will.i.am and Lopez performed the song at the 2012 American Music Awards without Jagger. Now, there was probably no animosity involved in Jagger's exclusion, but it'd be fun to see an amplified disagreement explaining why the Stones singer did not join in on the performance, or some fictional blowout by Jagger after the fact.
Jagger vs. Adam Levine
Is there a standing Adam Levine impressionist on SNL? If not, Taran Killam could probably do the trick. A skit wherein Jagger challenges the Maroon 5 frontman to prove that he actually does indeed have the Moves Like Jagger. This will be doubly successful if the dispute is settled via swordplay.
What else is up for grabs in recent Jagger news? What impressions do you want to see the rock legend try out?

text: Let me know what you think. I am thinking about creating a podcast series that will very much resemble a radio show. Initially the show would not be daily, but in time it could become just that. LawnSite is the biggest collection of people in the lawn care and landscaping industry on the entire planet - anyone who tries and argue that is foolish to do so. That being said, with all of these professionals in one place, it would seem very sensible for there to be a show specifically created for the members of this site - to discuss the site, the industry, business, and even some of the not so industry related topics such as politics, sports, etc... So much could go on within this show - members could call in to discuss certain topics, respected manufacturers and experts within the industry could be interviewed (just like I did with Gary Patridge), contests could go on, emails could be read on the show, etc, etc, etc.... Now granted, this would not be a "live" broadcast, but who knows, maybe even in time, that could happen too. I want to know what you think. Would you call in to be interviewed? Would you become a regular listener to the show? What would you want to see on the show? Maybe some regular segments that go on every show (advertising discussion, employee discussion, equipment discussion, etc...)? Think of what could be discussed! I would do my very best to make it entertaining, informative, and helpful. Maybe we could even get some companies within the industry to get involved. Let me know your thoughts. If you do not want to share them here, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks for your input in advance.

The Minnesota Vikings came into the NFL in 1961 and since that time have played in some very big games. The players who have played for the team have scored some big touchdowns, including one of the most exciting kinds of touchdowns to score, the overtime touchdown.
Overtime was introduced into NFL regular season play in 1974. Due to a team being able to win an overtime game by being the first one to score any points, most overtime games in league history have been settled by a field goal. During their history, and through the 2009 season, the Viking have scored seven overtime touchdowns to win games. Here is a look at how and when they did it.
The first Vikings overtime touchdown was unusual to say the least. It came on an 11 yard pass from future Hall of Famer and defensive back Paul Krause and was caught by tight end Stu Voigt. This helped the team beat the Chicago Bears 22-16.
The second overtime touchdown in team history came in dramatic fashion. Tommy Kramer and Ahmad Rashad hooked up for a 50 yard touchdown pass to beat the rival Green Bay Packers 27-21.
Speedy running back Darrin Nelson scored the team's third overtime touchdown ten years after it's first on a 24 yard run. This came in a 44-38 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon got into the overtime touchdown book in a 1994 win over the Bears with a 65 yard touchdown pass to Vikings receiver Cris Carter.
In an October 1995 game against the Houston Oilers, Robert Smith broke loose for a 20 yard score in overtime that sealed the game at 23-17.
In November of 1995, Warren Moon became the first Vikings quarterback to throw two overtime touchdown passes for the team when he hit Qadry Ismail for 50 yards in a 30-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
After having score three overtime touchdowns in two years, the Vikings would have to wait nine years for their next one. Then in October of 2004, Daunte Culpepper would throw a 50 yard touchdown pass to Marcus Robinson in overtime to defeat the Houston Texans by the score of 34-28.
Of note…
-Of their seven career overtime touchdowns, Warren Moon is the only player involved in more than one of them.
-Wide receivers have scored more overtime touchdowns in Vikings history (4) than running backs (2) and tight ends (1) combined.
-Three of the seven overtime touchdowns in team history have been passing plays that went for exactly 50 yards.
-The longest overtime touchdown in team history: 65 yards (Moon to Carter in 1994). The shortest: 11 yards (Krause to Voigt in 1977).
-The only team the Vikings have scored an overtime touchdown against more than once is the Chicago Bears. They did it first in 1977 and then again in 1994.
-The team has scored overtime touchdowns against Houston twice too, the first time against the Oilers though and the second time against the Texans.

text: I've been slowly putting this bike together for a few months. I'll have motivation to work on it for half a day. Then it goes on the back burner for a bit while I start cooking a different stew. Finished it up a few days ago for a 40 mile ride around San Diego County. A friend of mine had put one of these motors in a road bike frame, and I always liked how it looked, compared to the beach cruisers board tracker clones. Seemed a bit more "race". Lighter frame. Skinny wheels. Everything you need and nothing you don't. My dad found this old 70's Sears frame in the rafters of his shop. Perfect donor frame. Good friend travis bought four of these motors and was kind enough to let me put a bike together with one. (I still owe you!) So here we go... The "Mandarin Missile" I drilled out the side covers, made the exhaust from a few sets of different handle bars. The tank is aluminum, the inspiration is from 60's and 70's drag bikes that had small tube fuel tanks. Drilled rear sprocket. THe rear seat fairing was made from aluminum scraps that were left over from other projects. It's shape was dictated by what I had available so i was limited with what I could do. After the 40 mile ride this weekend, seat padding is on it's way! Trying something different. Lot's of cool bikes on here, but I don't want to contribute by offering more of the same. California in December is a **** I wouldn't wish on anyone!

Gorilla Safari to Bwindi, How To Have a Successful Gorilla Trek To Uganda.
Kampala Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
Of course it was successful but i had to go through a lot to get the best out of my gorilla safari to Uganda. It all started from the book i read about these apes. The book titled, "Gorillas in the Mist" gave me an inspiration and i definitely considered Africa for my next destination to track the mountain gorillas.
The first thing i did was to Google up for gorilla safaris and i got many options and preferences. My biggest worry was the price since i consider myself a budget traveler. In order to visit the gorillas, you must choose between Bwindi in Uganda and Parc De Volcans in Rwanda. I choose Uganda because its so adventurous much as i was told that its easier to see these giant apes in Rwanda than Uganda.
A gorilla permit costs USD 500 per person per trek. Its very important to book your gorilla permit in advance, at least 3 months before your actual tracking date. This is what i say in the gorilla section for a credible travel guide to Uganda. About Uganda Safaris
Choosing a tour operator to handle my safari was as hard as the trek itself! Most of the safari companies are established and have knowledgeable guides and reliable vehicles. Calah of Insight Uganda Safaris helped he decide on their company due to the fast and detailed response i received.
Tips for A Successful Gorilla Safari.
Book your gorilla permit at least 3 months to your actual trekking date.
Make sure you arrange your bookings with a recognised tour operator. At least members of AUTO.
Take time to be physically fit before your trek. Searching for the gorillas can take a full day.
A maximum number of 8 visitors may visit a group(family) of habituated gorillas in a day. This minimizes behavioral disturbances to the gorillas and the risk of their exposure to human-borne diseases.
Always wash your hands before you head out to the gorillas.
Do not leave rubbish in the park. Whatever you bring into the forest should be carried back with you.
You will be taken to where the guides left the gorillas the day before. From there you will follow the gorillas trial to find them. Look out for the gorillas nesting sites along the way.
When you approach the gorillas, the guides will inform you when to get your cameras ready.
Please always keep your voices low. You will also be able to observe the great bird life and other wildlife in the forest.
When You Are With The Gorillas....
Keep a minimum of 7 meters (21feet) from the gorillas. This is to protect gorillas from human disease transmission.
You must stay in a light group when you are near the gorillas.
Keep your voices low at all times. However, it is okay to ask the guide questions.
Do not eat or drink while you are near the gorillas to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
Sometimes the gorillas charge. Follow the guide�s example crouch down slowly, do not look at the gorillas in the eyes, and wait for the animals to pass. Do not attempt to run away. Running away will increase the risk of attack.
Flash photography is not permitted, when taking pictures, move slowly and carefully.
Do not touch the gorillas. They are wild animals.
The maximum time visitors are allowed to spend with the gorillas is one hour to limit their disturbances. If the gorillas become agitated or nervous, the guide will end the visit early.
After the visit, keep your voices down until you are 200 meters away from the gorillas.
All budgets are catered for. I made an effort to tour the places, and i was impressed with the Gorilla Resort and Buhoma Homestead.
I encourage you all to visit the Mountain gorillas before they become extinct. Remember there are about 700 mountain gorillas left in the whole world.

text: There had been twenty-two apocalypses to date. There were now four distinct variations of humanity roaming the earth - six, if you counted the undead. It had been suggested that there really should have been a new word to describe "the end of everything forever," but most people had stopped noticing, much less caring, after the tally hit double digits. Not to mention the failure of "forever" in living up to its potential. The last apocalypse wasn't even considered a cataclysm by most major governments. It was just a Thursday. Thor, for his part, still held out hope for Ragnarok, but, seeing as how his mortality stemmed directly from science disproving religion, this wasn't looking likely. "Secaucus Holiday Inn," said Thor, picking up the phone. "What do you want?" Thor was still pretty ticked that God of Thunder didn't carry more weight on a resume.

Video: Why Alpine Stereos are Great
J.R. has been at Crutchfield since 1996. He's been helping customers buy the right products from us for many years, and now he supervises and trains our Advisor Group. He worked as a D.J. on our local rock n' roll radio station, does video production on the side, and plays drums in a band called Ice House Road.
More from J.R. Stoffel
I started my Crutchfield career in 2007. I spent eight exciting years as a product advisor, fielding thousands of customer questions about A/V equipment while designing systems for homes, cars, and the occasional party bus. These days I specialize in home speakers and distributed audio systems, focusing on translating technical jargon into easy-to-understand language. My goal is to make shopping for speakers and amplifiers simple. After all, this stuff is supposed to be fun! Outside of work, I enjoy playing and teaching music. I'm always on the lookout for interesting left-handed guitars.
More from Kramer Crane
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Alpine stereos are some of the most popular car stereos that we carry. They're a reliable brand and the stereos are built to perform. In this video, we asked a few of our Advisors what is that they like about Alpine car stereos.
Video Transcript
J.R.: I do a little bit of the training, and recently I had a class of new advisors over at our retail store up on the wall of car stereos and one of the things we were doing was taking iPods® and plugging them in and seeing how easy it was to find an artist or a song, and hands down the Alpines, from the ones that are designed around controlling an iPod to the least expensive model that controls an iPod with even a little bit of a smaller display and all that: still easy to find a song to listen to.
It was not hard. It was just a matter of turning the knob and hitting a couple buttons and it was intuitive and we didn't have to crack an owner's manual to figure it out. So, simple, easy to use, high-quality stuff that sounds great. I mean, that's Alpine to me.
Kramer: Part of what makes the Alpine receiver so effective is that they can take this compressed information from the iPod and really bring it back to life for your car stereo experience. You'll be able to hear details that you hadn't necessarily heard with your factory stereo and it'll get you loving that music that you've had on your iPod for so long.
Eva: I typically recommend Alpine to customers who are looking for a navigation receiver because it powers up very quickly, it's very easy to connect and control an iPod and it's got a very user friendly touchscreen.
The end.
