Security, in business economics, written evidence of ownership conferring the right to receive property not currently in possession of the holder. The most common types of securities are stocks and bonds, of which there are many particular kinds designed to meet specialized needs. This article deals mainly with the buying and selling of securities issued by private corporations. (The securities issued by governments are discussed in the article government economic policy.)
Types of corporate securities
Corporations create two kinds of securities: bonds, representing debt, and stocks, representing ownership or equity interest in their operations. (In Great Britain, the term stock ordinarily refers to a loan, whereas the equity segment is called a share.)
The bond, as a debt instrument, represents the promise of a corporation to pay a fixed sum at a specified maturity date, and interest at regular intervals until then. Bonds may be registered in the names of designated parties, as payees, though more often, in order to facilitate handling, they are made payable to the "bearer." The bondholder usually receives his interest by redeeming attached coupons.
Since it could be difficult for a corporation to pay all of its bonds at one time, it is common practice to pay them gradually through serial maturity dates or through a sinking fund, under which arrangement a specified portion of earnings is regularly set aside and applied to the retirement of the bonds. In addition, bonds frequently may be "called" at the option of the company, so that the corporation can take advantage of declining interest rates by selling new bonds at more favourable terms and using these funds to eliminate older outstanding issues. In order to guarantee the earnings of investors, however, bonds may be noncallable for a specified period, perhaps for five or 10 years, and their redemption price may be made equal to the face amount plus a "premium" amount that declines as the bond approaches its maturity date.
The principal type of bond is a mortgage bond, which represents a claim on specified real property. This protection ordinarily results in the holders' receiving priority treatment in the event that financial difficulties lead to a reorganization. Another type is a collateral trust bond, in which the security consists of intangible property, usually stocks and bonds owned by the corporation. Railroads and other transportation companies sometimes finance the purchase of rolling stock with equipment obligations, in which the security is the rolling stock itself.
Although in the United States the term debentures ordinarily refers to relatively long-term unsecured obligations, in other countries it is used to describe any type of corporate obligation, and "bond" more often refers to loans issued by public authorities.
Corporations have developed hybrid obligations to meet varying circumstances. One of the most important of these is the convertible bond, which can be exchanged for common shares at specified prices that may gradually rise over time. Such a bond may be used as a financing device to obtain funds at a low interest rate during the initial stages of a project, when income is likely to be low, and encourage conversion of the debt to stock as earnings rise. A convertible bond may also prove appealing during periods of market uncertainty, when investors obtain the price protection afforded by the bond segment without materially sacrificing possible gains provided by the stock feature; if the price of such a bond momentarily falls below its common-stock equivalent, persons who seek to profit by differentials in equivalent securities will buy the undervalued bond and sell the overvalued stock, effecting delivery on the stock by borrowing the required number of shares (selling short) and eventually converting the bonds in order to obtain the shares to return to the lender.
Another of the hybrid types is the income bond, which has a fixed maturity but on which interest is paid only if it is earned. These bonds developed in the United States out of railroad reorganizations, when investors holding defaulted bonds were willing to accept an income obligation in exchange for their own securities because of its bond form; the issuer for his part was less vulnerable to the danger of another bankruptcy because interest on the new income bonds was contingent on earnings.
Still another hybrid form is the linked bond, in which the value of the principal, and sometimes the amount of interest as well, is linked to some standard of value such as commodity prices, a cost of living index, a foreign currency, or a combination of these. Although the principle of linkage is old, bonds of this sort received their major impetus during the inflationary periods after World Wars I and II. In recent years they have had the most use in countries in which the pressures of inflation have been sufficiently strong to deter investors from buying fixed-income obligations.
Those who provide the risk capital for a corporate venture are given stock, representing their ownership interest in the enterprise. The holder of stock has certain rights that are defined by the charter and bylaws of the corporation as well as by the laws of the country or state in which it is chartered. Typically these include the right to share in dividends and other distributions, to vote for directors and fundamental corporate changes, and to inspect the books of the corporation, and, less frequently, the "pre-emptive right" to subscribe to any new issue of stock. The stockholder's interest is divided into units of participation, called shares.
A stock certificate ordinarily is given as documentary evidence of share ownership. Originally this was its primary function; but as interest in securities grew and the capital market evolved, the role of the certificate gradually changed until it became, as it is now, an important instrument for the transfer of title. In some European countries the stock certificate is commonly held in bearer form and is negotiable without endorsement. To avoid loss, the certificates are likely to be entrusted to commercial banks or a clearing agency that is able to handle much of the transfer function through offsetting transactions and bookkeeping entries. In the United States, certificates usually are registered in the name of the owner or in a "street name"—the name of the owner's broker or bank; the bank may for legal reasons use the name of another person, known as a "nominee." When a certificate is held in the name of a broker or bank nominee, the institution is able to make delivery more readily and the transfer process is facilitated. Investors, for legal or personal reasons, may prefer to keep the certificates in their own names.
A corporation may endow different kinds or classes of stock with different rights. Preferred stock has priority with respect to dividends and, if the corporation is dissolved, to the division of assets. Dividends on preferred stock usually are paid at a fixed rate and are often cumulated in the event the corporation finds it necessary to omit a distribution. In the latter circumstance the full deficiency must be cleared before payments may be made on the common shares. Participating preferred stock, in addition to stipulated dividends, receives a share of whatever earnings are paid to the common stock. Participation is usually resorted to as an inducement to investors when the corporation is financially weak. Although a preferred issue has no maturity date, it may be given redemption terms much like those of a bond, including a conversion privilege and a sinking fund. Preferred stockholders may or may not be allowed to vote equally with common stockholders on some or all propositions or more characteristically may vote only upon the occurrence of some prescribed condition, such as the default of a specified number of dividend payments.
Common stock, in some countries called ordinary shares, represents a residual interest in the earnings and assets of a corporation. Whereas distributions to bonds or preferred stock are ordinarily fixed, dividends paid on common stock are set at the time of payment by the directors and tend to vary with earnings. The market price of common stock is likely to move in a relatively wide range, depending on investors' expectations of earnings in the future.
An option contract is an agreement enabling the holder to buy a security at a fixed price for a limited period of time. One form of option contract is the stock purchase warrant, which entitles the owner to buy shares of common stock at designated prices and according to a prescribed ratio. Warrants are often used to enhance the salability of a senior security, and sometimes as part of the compensation paid to bankers who market new issues.
Another use of the option contract is the employee stock option. This is used to compensate key executives and other employees; it is normally subject to a variety of restrictions and is generally nontransferrable. Stock rights, like warrants, are transferrable privileges permitting stockholders to buy another security or a portion thereof at a specified price for an indicated period of time. The stock right allows stockholders to subscribe to additional shares of stock in proportion to their present holdings. Stock rights usually have a shorter life-span than warrants, and their subscription price is below, rather than above, the market price of the common stock.
The marketing of new issues
The marketing of securities is an essential link in the mechanism that transfers capital funds from savers to users. The transfer may involve intermediaries such as savings banks, insurance companies, or investment trusts. The ultimate user of the funds may be a corporation or any of the various levels of government from municipalities to national states.
The growth of public debt throughout the world has made governments increasingly important participants in the markets for new securities. They have had to develop financing techniques with careful attention to their influence on the markets for nongovernmental securities. The treasuries must carefully study interest rates, yield patterns, terms of financing, and the distribution of holdings among investors.
Local governments are usually subject to various statutory restrictions that must be carefully observed when offering a new issue for sale. Local government bonds are distributed through investment bankers who buy them and reoffer them to the public at higher prices and correspondingly lower yields. Sometimes the terms of the offer are negotiated. In the United States, however, a more prevalent means of selling state and local bonds is through competitive bidding, in which the issuer announces a contemplated offering of bonds for a designated amount, with specified maturity dates, and for certain purposes. Syndicates of investment bankers are formed to bid on the issue, and the award is made to the group providing the most favourable terms. The winning syndicate then reoffers the bonds to the public at prices carefully tailored to be competitive with comparable obligations already on the market and to provide a suitable profit margin.
The financial manager of a company requiring additional funds has a number of alternative courses of action open to him. He may do all of his financing through commercial banks by means of loans and revolving credit arrangements that, in essence, are formalized lines of credit. Or, he may prefer to raise capital through the sale of securities. If he chooses to do the latter, he may undertake a private sale with an institutional investor such as an insurance company, permitting him to avoid both the complicated procedures of a public distribution and the risks of unsettled market conditions. On the other hand, a private placement of this sort deprives the issuer of the favourable publicity flowing from a successful public offering; it may not afford sufficient resources for very large firms with continuing demands for capital; and it involves rather restrictive legal requirements.
A company that elects to float its securities publicly in the capital market will ordinarily utilize the services of an investment banker. The investment banker may buy the securities from the issuer and seek a profit by selling them at a higher price to the public, thereby assuming the market risks. If the issue is large, the originating investment banker may invite other houses to join with him in purchasing the issue from the company, while to facilitate disposal he may form a selling group to take over the issue from the buying firms for resale to the public. In lieu of buying the securities from the issuer, the investment banker may act as an agent and receive a commission on the amount sold. If the issuer negotiates the selection of an investment banker, the banker will serve as financial counsel and offer advice on the timing and terms of the new issue. If the selection is by competitive bidding, the relationship is likely to be more impersonal.
An accepted principle of modern finance is that investors are entitled to knowledge about the issuer in order to appraise the quality of the securities offered. A number of countries now require issuers to file registration statements and provide written prospectuses.
The security markets of Europe do not have the aggressive investment-banking machinery developed in the United States. European commercial banks, on the other hand, play a much more important role in financing the needs of industry than do commercial banks in the United States and Great Britain.
In the 1960s, a number of industrial nations faced increasing difficulties in meeting their financing needs through local capital markets. Several issuers began to float securities that were payable in any of 17 different European currencies. This marked what might be called the beginning of an "international securities" market. Efforts were also made to issue bonds on a parallel basis in different countries with each portion denominated in the currency of the country in which it was sold. For various legal and technical reasons, these methods did not attract a wide following.
Another factor that hastened the growth of a European securities market was the balance of payments problem confronting the United States in the 1960s. Certain legislative enactments substantially shut the capital market of the U.S. to foreign issuers; and other restraints were imposed on foreign lending by United States financial institutions and on direct foreign investment by United States corporations. As a result, a number of multinational corporations headquartered in the United States were forced to seek financing in overseas securities markets for the expanding business of their foreign subsidiaries. United States and foreign investment bankers joined in syndicates to float these securities. The process was facilitated by the growth of an international market in Eurodollars, representing claims on dollars deposited in European banks. The bulk of the new bonds offered abroad were denominated in Eurodollars.
During the period 1957–65, when this new European market came into being, the volume of foreign bonds issued publicly rose from $492,600,000 to $1,489,500,000. The principal and most consistent borrowers were in Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Israel, Denmark, and New Zealand. In all of these countries, the major borrower was the national government, except in Canada, where the political subdivisions were the major borrowers. In West Germany, Great Britain, and the United States, the only borrowers in international markets were private units.
The development of securities trading
Organized securities markets and stock exchanges are a product of economic development. In the early years of economic growth, most of a country's industrial units are small and their capital requirements relatively modest. The rate of saving is low, and institutions for channelling private savings into investment are generally lacking. As the economy progresses and national income grows, new institutions enter the financial picture to direct the mounting volume of savings into productive outlets. The appearance of growing numbers of individual and institutional investors creates a need for trading markets to speed up transactions and enable stockholders swiftly and easily to convert their holdings to cash.
At this stage of development, corporations usually meet less of their financing needs through direct sales of securities in the new issue market and obtain a larger percentage through reinvesting their own earnings. This plowing back of earnings is not insensitive to the judgment of investors: if the prospects of a company are good, investors bid up the price of its shares in the trading market and show a willingness to forego dividends for the possibility of long-term capital gains achieved through internal growth. Thus, when a company is able to finance its expansion by means of reinvested earnings rather than by new stock issues, the trading segment becomes the more important aspect of the capital market.
Stock exchanges grew out of early trading activities in agricultural and other commodities. Traders in European fairs in the Middle Ages found it convenient to use credit, which required the supporting documents of drafts, notes, and bills of exchange. The French stock exchange may be traced as far back as the 12th century, when trading occurred in commercial bills of exchange. To regulate these incipient markets, Philip the Fair (1268–1314) created the profession of courratier de change, the forerunner of the modern French stockbroker, or agent de change. At about the same period in Bruges, then a prosperous centre of the Low Countries, merchants took to gathering in front of the house of the Van der Buerse family to engage in trading. From this custom, the name of the family became identified with trading, and eventually "bourse" came to signify a stock exchange. From similar roots in trade and commerce, the institutional beginnings of stock exchanges appeared during the 16th and 17th centuries in other great trading centres throughout the world—Amsterdam, Great Britain, Denmark, Germany.
The growth of trade created a need for banks and insurance companies. Political developments caused governments to seek new sources of funds. This combination of expanding activity and intermittent capital shortages stimulated the early issuers of securities—governments, banks, insurance companies, and some joint-stock enterprises, particularly the great trading companies. From the existing exchanges for commercial bills and notes, it was an easy and logical transition to the establishment of stock exchanges for securities. By the early 1600s, shares of the Dutch East India Company were being traded in Amsterdam; in 1773, London stock dealers who had previously been meeting in coffeehouses moved into their own building; and by the 19th century, trading in securities on a formal basis was common in the industrialized nations.
The evolution of stock exchanges continued. In Great Britain, progress has for the most part been internal and voluntary; the London Stock Exchange has regulated its own activities. The French stock exchanges, in contrast, are directly subject to law, and the operations of the agents de change have been affected by national decrees. At one time, there were three markets for securities in Paris: an official market called the Parquet (the "floor"); a semiofficial market, the Coulisse (the "wing"); and the Hors Côté (the "outside"), an unregulated market in unlisted securities. In 1929, the Hors Côté was subjected to official regulation and in the following decade its activities were absorbed into the Coulisse, which in turn was combined with the Parquet in a reorganization in 1961. In Belgium the exchanges have had a mixed history. Strict governmental controls were imposed in 1801 and not removed until 1867. Following the economic crisis of 1929–34, the pendulum swung the other way, and the exchanges were once more placed under the control of central authority. In Switzerland, the exchanges have been governed by cantonal (state) law.
Historical events have left their mark upon the development of stock exchanges in some countries. Mining, rather than trade and commerce, was the impelling influence in the establishment of stock exchanges in South Africa and Canada. In Germany, the Berlin Stock Exchange lost its dominant role after World War II, and its position was assumed by exchanges in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. The Japanese securities markets were revolutionized following World War II, when a new securities law was enacted patterned after the U.S. model. A campaign to distribute stock formerly held by the large zaibatsu (family-owned combines) and semigovernment corporations greatly increased public stock ownership, which in turn contributed to the considerable growth of trading on the nine Japanese exchanges. Another post-World War II development was the interest of the governments of developing countries in the use of stock exchanges to facilitate external financing.
Early U.S. markets
Securities markets in the United States began with speculative trading in issues of the new government. In 1791, the country's first stock exchange was established in Philadelphia, then the leading city in domestic and foreign trade. An exchange in New York was set up in 1792, when 24 merchants and brokers decided to charge commissions while acting as agents for other persons and to give preference to each other in their negotiations. They did much of their trading under a tree at 68 Wall Street. Government securities formed the basis of the early trading. Stocks of banks and insurance companies added to the volume of transactions. The building of roads and canals brought more securities to the market. In 1817 the New York brokers decided to organize formally as the New York Stock and Exchange Board. Thereafter, the stock market grew with the industrialization of the country. In 1863, the New York Stock Exchange adopted its present name. During the Civil War additional exchanges were organized, one of them the forerunner of the present NYSE Amex Equities, one of the largest stock markets in the country.

Dropping an Assembly
Assemblies that have been registered in SQL Server using the CREATE ASSEMBLY statement can be deleted, or dropped, when the functionality they provide is no longer needed. Dropping an assembly removes the assembly and all of its associated files, such as debug files, from the database. To drop an assembly, use the DROP ASSEMBLY statement with the following syntax:
DROP ASSEMBLY MyDotNETAssembly
DROP ASSEMBLY does not interfere with any code referencing the assembly that is currently running, but after DROP ASSEMBLY executes, any attempts to invoke the assembly code fail.
DROP ASSEMBLY returns an error if the assembly is referenced by another assembly that exists in the database, or if it is used by common language runtime (CLR) functions, procedures, triggers, user-defined types (UDTs), or user-defined aggregates (UDAs) in the current database. First use the DROP AGGREGATE, DROP FUNCTION, DROP PROCEDURE, DROP TRIGGER, and DROP TYPE statements to delete any managed database objects contained in the assembly.
Removing a UDT from the Database
The DROP TYPE statement removes a UDT from the current database. Once a UDT is dropped, you can use the DROP ASSEMBLY statement to drop the assembly from the database.
The DROP TYPE statement fails if objects depend on the UDT, as in the following situations:
Tables in the database that contain columns defined using the UDT.
Functions, stored procedures, or triggers that use variables or parameters of the UDT, created in the database with the WITH SCHEMABINDING clause.
Finding UDT Dependencies
You must first drop all dependent objects, and then execute the DROP TYPE statement. The following Transact-SQL query locates all of the columns and parameters that use a UDT in the AdventureWorks database.
USE Adventureworks;
SELECT o.name AS major_name, o.type_desc AS major_type_desc
, c.name AS minor_name, c.type_desc AS minor_type_desc
, at.assembly_class
SELECT object_id, name, user_type_id, 'SQL_COLUMN' AS type_desc
FROM sys.columns
SELECT object_id, name, user_type_id, 'SQL_PROCEDURE_PARAMETER'
FROM sys.parameters
) AS c
JOIN sys.objects AS o
ON o.object_id = c.object_id
JOIN sys.assembly_types AS at
ON at.user_type_id = c.user_type_id;

Eddy Chai and Paul Birardi founded Odin, their contemporary menswear store, in 2004 with the opening of their first East Village outpost, known for brands such as Comme des Garcons, Bespoken, Robert Geller, Burkman Bros. and Thom Browne. In 2006, the retail duo added a second store on Lafayette, expanded it to include Den (a constantly changing single brand concept store) in 2007, and in 2008 added womenswear to the mix with a sister boutique dubbed Pas De Deux. A year later they opened a third menswear location in the West Village and debuted their line of Odin fragrances. (The name Odin comes from the wise Norse war god who is father to Thor.)
Along with their ever-expanding retail empire, the Odin fragrance collection has since grown to include seven personal fragrances and a selection of home scents, for which they won a 2011 FIFI award for Best Indie Fragrance and were nominated for FIFI's Best Packaging Men's Prestige category in 2012. The most recent scent, the veviter-based 08 Seylon, was released just last month.
Not too shabby for a couple of dudes who claim they only knew they wanted to be in retail "after we signed the lease on our first store" (Chai's words). A former advertising art director, Chai and Birardi (a buyer) had worked at a string of impressive brands—Barneys New York, Levi's, Macy's and Coach (which is where they first met)—before joining forces with Odin. "Retail/fashion wasn't our first foray into creative expression," Chai told The Fashion Informer. "My background was in writing, music, film and design so those were really the first forms of creative expression for me. But it has come full circle as retail has encompassed all those elements."
Indeed. In addition to their own stores and fragrance line, the Odin for Target collection launched nationwide earlier this fall, and they have several other top secret creative projects brewing (stay tuned for deets).
The Fashion Informer caught up with Chai just after New York Fashion Week to talk dessert, must-have grooming products and his dream of being a professional gamer.
So, Eddy...
What's your favorite dessert?
A really good apple crumble or cheesecake.
Best book you've read in the past six months (and what made it so great)?
I don't even remember the name of what I read last—I was just so happy to have the time to crack open a book!
City or country?
New York and Paris.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
What would you like to be doing if you weren't store owners/designers?
Professional gamer (not that I'm skilled at it) or a full time deejay.
What's the one grooming product you cannot live without?
Styling crème.
What websites do you read regularly?
Not many. I kind of explore multiple sites haphazardly at any given time. It usually mirrors a stream of consciousness.
What item of clothing will we never see at Odin?
Never say never.
What one piece of advice would you give a young retailer starting out in New York?
Don't be sucked into the romance of owning your own shop. Be fiscally responsible and realistic.
What made a more lasting impression on you: your first car or your first kiss?
Car. I don't remember my first kiss.
What's your favorite mode of transportation?
Walking or biking if it's nice and I have the time, but usually whatever way will get me there the fastest.
What makes your nervous?
Uncertainty. People who are drunk.
When are you happiest?
At the beach or by a fireplace with friends and my dogs.

It didn't occur to me that our story was perhaps a strange and startling one. Did we really all meet online? And after only a few short months of knowing each other, we thought we should travel to Nashville for the weekend? Together? We immediately sounded like a reality TV show full of guaranteed fireworks, bitching and someone crying into their margarita by night's end.
Last summer I remember reading Rona Maynard's article "Online Bonding" (Best Health, Summer 2008) in the fluorescent lighting of the Shoppers Drug Mart in Abbotsford, in one swallow. I identified so closely with her concept of the "virtual community" and its merits that I bought the magazine. Finally, I had found someone who understood the comfort, intrigue and network that can be discovered through social media forums like Facebook and Twitter.
I emailed Rona immediately and said I wanted to be part of her virtual neighbourhood. She wrote back and we got on like a house on fire. Her words were amplified when I spent four months in Africa, and longed for the connection of friends so many oceans away. Although the internet connection was as reliable as public transit, I was able to send daily 'postcards,' if you will, to all my friends flung worldwide. And because I was falling asleep in Uganda just as Canada was waking up, I had constant companions into the wee hours to chat with.
As a kid, I had over 40 pen pals at one point. I went to several summer camps and picked the very best of the lot to keep me from being not so "campsick" (my version of homesick) over the too-long winters. There was a girl in Korea who sent me traditional dresses, Marco from Quebec who I met in the Bahamas, Dan from Boise, Idaho and a few others that I still keep curious tabs on.
The pen pal process has definitely been updated and refined, and the likelihood of meeting Facebook and Twitter 'pen pals' is tangible, doable and the obvious next step in online friendships.
I haven't actively searched out strangers online, more often they are friend suggestions from someone near and dear to me who says, "Hey, this person is really cool. You should add her, you'll love her humour." And with a virtual introduction and handshake, the friendship is kick-started.
It's almost like online dating, but for friends. And why not pull out the weeds before deciding which flowers to keep as perennials? The most remarkable people have shown up in my inbox–like when Jules Tortolani wrote me a random note to say, "Hey, we share a lot of letters in our name in common. We should probably be friends." I initially had my Nut Bar Radar on high alert, but I couldn't pick a more perfect soulmate than Jules.
I only have seven other 'never-mets' on my Facebook list, but I know these face-to-face encounters will happen because I have to meet Rob Peace. One night he was creeping through my old Toronto brownstone neighbour Ryan's Facebook friend list and found me. He recognized my name and made a miraculous connection to a wall mural I had painted in Dunnville, Ontario a decade ago at a pizza joint called Godfathers. Rob had stopped for greasy pizza after a wedding and sent me a photo taken that night—of him and his then-girlfriend at Godfathers, with my mural and name in the background.
And this is why I love Facebook and its zero degrees of separation.
Which brings me to Nashville and the firepit where Andrea asked, "So, how do y'all know each other."
Well, Heidi and I had been emailing back and forth like a tennis ball in a Serena and Venus finals game since March. A mutual friend had virtually introduced us and I was told that Heidi had been to Africa, and anyone that's been to Africa is good in my books.
And Pam, another online friend said, "Leslie, she's the real deal. Add her. Funny as hell and not a wacko." So, Leslie and I started our bantering late August and met weeks later at a concert at Hugh's Room in Toronto. Her potential probationary Nut Bar status was removed just as quickly as Jules Tortolani. I sat at Leslie's table with a cardboard cut-out of Heidi's head (semi-long and separate story), because Leslie and Heidi were also linked together online, about a year before. And then Leslie introduced me to Kelly at the concert, who played Proline football with Heidi in Nashville, and the Twittering began.
As someone who loves to write (anything really—from grocery lists to erotica to emails longer than a Charles Dickens novel), Leslie and I outdid each other with our essay-length get-to-know-you question and answer sessions. Mid-September she asked me what my biggest regret in life was, as one of her daily five questions (we liked to keep things light and fluffy). This was after Leslie told me that she and Kelly had decided to visit Heidi in Nashville in November.
"My biggest regret is not going to Nashville with you two," I responded, half- joking while sipping merlot on my brother's floor, and sorting out where to work and live as I had just landed back in Toronto. When I woke up in the morning, there were almost a dozen emails from Kelly and Leslie insisting that I come to Tennessee with them, to meet Heidi and see a football game of all things, and in less than an hour I had a flight booked on expedia.ca
Naturally, one would think such a random get together would be a train wreck in slow motion. What we didn't realize was how perfect we all were for each other. I've gone camping with friends who I've wanted to leave out for the bears to eat on the first night.
I uesd to know a woman who would end all her relationships (not intentionally) when she planned an overnight camping trip with them. She convinced me that maybe this was the best way to filter out the gal and friends that are going to work. If you can set up a tent together, eat sloppy S'mores, sleep in soggy sleeping bags, piss in a beer can in the tent because it's raining, wake up smelling like bacon bits and still respect each other in the morning, the partnership/friendship would definitely work.
And maybe this was what Nashville was for us. It was our camping trip to ensure that we had the vital elements for continuing the friendship that had started online.
But I knew. I knew Kelly would be like a golden retriever—happy to follow any of us wherever we wanted to go. She used to do stand-up comedy, so she was a logical choice to spend life on a desert island or a weekend in Nashville with. I was also confident that Leslie was solid, despite her warning that she sometimes turned into a Greek man when drinking.
The bigger question was whether Heidi could handle Team Canada on her Nashville doorstep.
Emails full of anticipation were sent back and forth, fast and furious. We nearly laughed ourselves hoarse the first night in Detroit (and Leslie returned with no voice to speak of at all!). And when we finally met our Nashville ambassador, Heidi, we laughed even more. The 'reunion' was without awkwardness or oh-my-god-she-didn't-tell-me-about-that-annoying-quirk revelations. It was like a mutual sigh and sense of relief–"Finally, we get to be together!"
The November Nashville sun was like a summer's day. We had lunch on Ted's sun-kissed BBQ patio, feeling the southern hospitality instantly–bison meatloaf sandwiches, Flying Dog Pale Ale, sliders, Auntie Faye's squash casserole and the company of 'strangers.'
We had so much to talk about and I left Nashville after four days thinking, there just wasn't enough time for all the conversations, pancakes and pork rinds that needed to be ha
I had no idea that Nashville was going to be such an epicurean pleaser either! I have a list of things I still need to eat there—like the four pound burger that's free if you can eat it in an hour, deep-fried pickles, fried catfish sandwiches, grits and Jack's BBQ! But, when you travel, you always need to leave a reason to return.
The highlight was unanimously Arrington Vineyards, founded by country artist Kix Brooks (of Brooks & Dunn fame). What a magical place of storybook quality. Heidi insisted that we arrive just before the sun set to fully experience the charm of Arrington. At Arrington you can buy a bottle (Viognier, Reisling, Muscat, Syrah, Cabernet) and find a place to picnic on the property. And the picnicking is serious—linens, candles, charcuterie, cheese wedges worth more than the bottles of wine and artisan crackers. We're not talking about cold KFC and a bag of stale Doritos. Arrington wine sippers know how to picnic.
There are dozens of picnic tables, huge swings in the handsome trees, a wrap-around deck and a welcoming hillside for casual wine drinking while reclined in the grass. The vines were scarlet red in the fields, and so striking against the horizon. When the sun dropped in the sky that night—it was like God was showing off his best brushstrokes.
Heidi introduced us to her favourite, the Syrah—black tea, exotic spice, pepper, blackberry jam and mocha flavours. It was a gentle collision of sensuality and silkiness. We talked into the darkness, sharing the intimate conversations that the night pulls out of you before you even realize it. A bonfire was lit at the top of the hill and was licking the belly of the stars when we left.
We continued the wine-tasting theme at The Wine Loft, a swishy tapas-style resto with thimble-sized stools and small, cozy tables that add to the contagious vibe. I was still full from the stack of Cracker Barrel blueberry pancakes 10 hours previous, but managed to eat almost an entire wheel of vanilla-infused baked brie with crostini. The tapas were almost too pretty to eat as the Loft takes pride in constructing appetizers suitable for hanging on gallery walls.
On Sunday, after crappy football nachos with congealed cheese at the Titans vs. Bills game (16 rows up from the field!), Heidi made sure that we had the finest tortilla chips and love potion margaritas in town at Cantina Laredo. Let me tell you, even the forks are bigger in America, and for good reason.
My vision of Nashville was largely of 10 gallon hats, spurs and a lot of Marlboro men leaned up against pick-up trucks, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Cumberland River splits the city in a reflective divide, and minutes from downtown, the manicured properties and drool-worthy plantation homes elicit constant oooohs and ahhhhhs.
The grounds of the Steeplechase and the local parks with spun-gold maple leaves brighter than the sun, where we took Heidi's retrievers for a swim, were the best bits of America. And with the Southern drawl, everyone we talked to had us at "hello." Really, I can't remember visiting a friendlier state. Even the homeless are hospitable and willing to sing a hurtin' country song for spare change. Kelly and I decided we could easily live there. She would require season's tickets for the Titans, and I would simply need to add more mileage to my morning runs to keep pace with the butter intake.
There was a palpable sadness in leaving Nashville and saying goodbye to Heidi (who definitely passed the weekend camping test). I am so grateful for the virtual introductions (thanks J.) and for the beautiful connections that have been made in a world that really is not so big after all.
God bless America, Facebook and Rona, for reminding us that it's not about where you find your friends, it's where you keep them. And I'm keeping these women closer to my heart after this weekend.

Taylor Swift's 'Red' Returns to the Top of the Charts
Pop-country superstar Taylor Swift must be having a pretty happy new year so far. Due to holiday sales, her current album 'Red' has returned to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts for a seventh non-consecutive week, making it the best-selling country album of 2012.
According to Billboard, 'Red' sold 241,000 units in the final week of 2012 -- 54% of which were download-only sales. Digital sales received a massive boost from a special holiday promotion during which Amazon MP3 discounted the title to $1.99 as part of a Gold Box promotion on Dec. 24. It is also likely that Swift's sales spiked in part due to fans spending gift cards they received for Christmas.
Country Weekly reports that 'Red' is the third Taylor Swift album to spend at least six weeks in the No. 1 position in Billboard, making her the first artist to accomplish that since the Beatles placed seven straight albums at No. 1 for six weeks or more in the '60s.
Swift has now logged a career total of 24 weeks at No. 1, tying her with Adele as the female artist with the most weeks at No. 1 since the advent of SoundScan in 1991. And Billboard projects that 'Red' will spend at least one more week at the top, since there were no major new releases in the first week of 2013.

Whenever I assess the economy and the markets, I try to take particular note of any change in opinion from high-profile sources. I pay particular attention to this when an altered position is based on new data. So, when I read that Goldman Sachs had reduced its growth forecasts for China, it forced me to look at the second-largest economy in a new light.
In a note to clients, Goldman cited the latest round of weak data from China, including slowing exports, as the reason for its reduced GDP growth forecast. Goldman now thinks China's economy for the full year will grow just 7.6%, down from its previous estimate of 7.9%. For 2013, the firm reduced its GDP growth estimates to 8% from 8.5%.
Here's the money quote from the Goldman note that's got even the staunchest China bulls rethinking their stance:
"We believe the deterioration in cyclical indicators and weaker-than-expected exports are headwinds that will keep the economy softer than expected in the next few quarters."
For China bears, Goldman's lowered forecast must be part vindication, and part "too little, too late." Over the past year, noted China naysayer Gordon Chang — author of the influential book, The Coming Collapse of China — has been claiming that the nation's economy is experiencing little or no economic growth.
In a recent interview on CNBC, Chang said "the wheels are coming off the Chinese economy." His argument is that electricity production in the country has flatlined, and that the metric is a much more reliable indicator of economic activity than are the government's official statistics. "When you look at the April-through-July period, electricity production increased by less than an average of 1.2 percent," said Chang, who added, "and because the growth of electricity historically outpaces the growth of the economy, it means the economy can't be growing more than zero."
I have my doubts about whether the electricity production number is the ultimate arbiter of China's economic activity; however, one thing that cannot be denied is that the Chinese economy is slowing, and it's slowing faster than most expected, and certainly faster than China bulls like Goldman — and admittedly, myself — had anticipated.
Click to Enlarge The only potential saving grace for China is that recent downbeat data such as the decline in monthly industrial output, slowing retail sales, reduced fixed-asset investment and declining global trade suggest that China's central bank is likely to step in once again and slash interest rates, and/or lower bank reserve ratio requirements. Of course, Chinese policymakers have done this not once, but twice in June, and so far we have seen virtually no boost in economic activity.
Now, in terms of the market's response to all of this, we've seen the iShares FTSE China 25 Index (NYSE:FXI), a benchmark for large-cap Chinese stocks, plummet since February. This decline really ramped up in August, as FXI briefly rose up to resistance at the 200-day moving average before falling back down and plunging below the 50-day moving average.
Investors who are convinced that there's more pain on the horizon for Chinese stocks can take advantage of that conviction with an allocation to the ProShares UltraShort FTSE China 25 (NYSE:FXP). This exchange-traded fund is designed to deliver twice the inverse performance of FXI. So, if FXI falls 2%, then FXP should rise 4%. The action of late in FXP is very bullish, with the fund recently breaching both the 50- and 200-day moving averages.
I think this is a fund even a former China bulls like me can embrace these days, so if you want to ride the slow boat that's China, do so in FXP.
As of this writing, Jim Woods did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Your friends here at GetReligion are not big on reading the tabloids, but we have received a few notes from people asking what we think of the tabloid-esque coverage of Father Alberto Cutie, the famous "Father Oprah" of television and South Beach. Clearly some newsrooms cannot help themselves, when it comes to the man who is the sexy priest. I mean, this story finally made it to the New York Times, which is rarely called a tabloid.
However, the surprise to me is that some reporters have handled this like pros and have searched for the issue inside the racy story. And what is that issue? Clearly it is that Cutie's fall has left some conservative Catholics, especially Hispanics, wondering about the mandatory celibacy rule. Some of them are wondering out loud.
But first, a round of applause for the Miami Herald for getting a simple fact right, a simple fact that Godbeat veteran Richard Ostling often cites as one of the most annoying errors that he keeps seeing make it into print. And what is that mistake? As Ostling told me, when I was reporting my chapter in "Blind Spot":
Journalists often report that Rome does not ordain married men.
"Now it would be accurate," said Ostling, "to say that the overwhelming majority of men ordained as Catholic priests are not married. It would even be accurate to say that 'almost all' priests are not married. But what about Eastern Rite Catholicism, where you have married priests? Then there are the married men who have been ordained in the Anglican Rite, who used to be Episcopal priests. You have a few Lutherans, too."
Thus, the Herald team -- which is all over this story, naturally -- slips in this quick reference:
With few exceptions, Catholic priests are celibate, which means they don't marry, and refrain from sex. The Roman Catholic church has left the policy virtually unchanged for the past 900 years, saying it allows for a dedication to God and the church without distraction.
And there you have the heart of this story. According to the Herald, and others, the fall of this celebrity priest is underlining the degree to which Catholics feel conflicted about the celibacy rule. In other words, why are the majority of priests required to be celibate, while a few Catholic priests are not? If and when conservative Catholics -- pounded by years of scandals about sexuality and the priesthood -- start saying this, you have a story.
The latest is that Cutie has gone on television (click here for the CBS coverage) and, in English, said very simply: "I'm not sure what I'll do next." Keep trying that link, because it has been running really slow all day.
Meanwhile, the newspaper has asked local Catholics what they think and I was able to open that report:
Despite declaring he is not ashamed of being with the woman he loves, the Rev. Alberto Cutie remains highly popular among Miami-Dade Catholics, who overwhelmingly oppose the church's long-standing policy of requiring a celibate clergy, a poll conducted for The Miami Herald over the weekend has found.
Among the poll's findings: A substantial majority -- 74 percent -- of those surveyed, including Hispanics and non-Hispanics, oppose the Roman Catholic Church's prohibition of priests marrying or having any type of sexual relations. Only 22 percent said they supported the prohibition, while 4 percent said they were unsure or gave no answer.
That majority was even larger -- 81 percent -- when those polled were asked whether they thought priests and nuns should be able to marry because the "celibacy requirement for Catholic clergy is antiquated and no longer viable.''
Number the Washington Post among the other newspapers that have spotted the celibacy issue in this tabloid feast. Here's a recent lede by godbeat veteran Michelle Boorstein:
His audience is reportedly in the tens of millions. His relationship advice in his books, TV and radio shows has spurred the nickname "Father Oprah." Hispanic Catholics and believers across Latin America follow the handsome priest whose parish is the Miami beachfront. But will the Rev. Alberto Cutie actually shift the centuries-old debate on celibacy?
The Post adds:
The apparent public support for Cutie mirrors polling on celibacy and the priesthood. A Washington Post-ABC News poll last year found that 36 percent of Catholics favored the church's policy, while 60 percent opposed it. Peruvian author and television host Jaime Bayly told 24 Horas Libre that there is nothing "immoral or perverted" about being a young man "healthy with desires. He is perfectly capable of loving and serving God, and loving a woman."
However, once again the coverage suffers from a common problem -- assuming that there is one unified body of people out there in the pews that can be called "the Catholics."
There are all kinds of follow-up questions that have to be asked by these pollsters if they want to chart any sign of movement on this issue. At the very least, they have to separate Anglo and Hispanics. Then they need to separate frequent Mass attenders from people on the far edges of the flock.
They also have to realize -- look at that Herald question in particular, which pasted together two radically different issues when it asked "Catholics" about their views on the "prohibition of priests marrying" or "having any type of sexual relations." The latter is a much bigger issue than the former, in terms of ancient traditions and doctrines.
Stay tuned. Hopefully the Herald site will be running smoothly again soon.

Tips for reducing unsolicited (SPAM) email
My inbox is filling up with spam! Why is this happening?
Spam tends to increase due to several factors:
First, if an e-mail address is posted on a publicly available website (a message board, for instance), sooner or later, it will begin receiving spam e-mails. Spammers frequently employ automated programs called "web crawlers" or "bots" that methodically search the Internet for e-mail addresses. The collected addresses are then sent spam messages, or sold to other spammers.
Second, many business and news websites require users to register with an e-mail address. Usually, the business will limit itself to sending e-mails about product offers (which can also be unwanted), and news websites will send out article notifications. Some websites, however, have no scruples about selling their lists of e-mail addresses, which often find their way into the hands of spammers.
Third, simply opening a spam e-mail can lead to still more spam. Many spam e-mails are nothing more than a link to an image file hosted on a spammer's server, or contain a small hyperlink. Once the e-mail is opened, the hyperlink is activated, and the spammer knows that the e-mail address is valid and can continue to receive spam e-mails.
Fourth, spam can arrive simply by automated guesswork. Many e-mail addresses follow standardized naming conventions (for instance, email@example.com), and automated programs can easily generate a host of possible e-mail addresses. Most of the messages will be undeliverable, but some will get through.
Fifth, certain kinds of viruses and spyware contribute to spam. Some viruses and spyware programs are designed specifically to harvest e-mail addresses from a user's address book. Others use the computer itself to send out spam e-mails, taking addresses from the address book. These "botnets", as they are commonly known, generate a large percentage of spam e-mail.
How can I best protect myself from spam?
Precautionary measures are the best protection against spam.
It's best to keep your e-mail address private, and give it out only when necessary. You should only share your Bethany e-mail address with people on campus, and with trustworthy persons.
Should you need to register at a website, or publicly post an e-mail address, it's best to have a separate e-mail address dedicated exclusively to that purpose. Many providers offer free e-mail accounts, which makes for a cheap and easy "secondary" e-mail account where spam would be less of an inconvenience.
I want to buy something from a website, and they need my e-mail address. Should I use my Bethany address?
Probably not. At the very least, the website will send you e-mails advertising productions and special promotions. Many online businesses have no qualms about selling lists of e-mail addresses, which could result in more spam.
Instead, use a secondary e-mail address (such as a free e-mail account from another provider), since receiving spam at that address might prove less of an inconvenience.
I've received a chain e-mail! Should I send it on to twenty new recipients?
No. Chain e-mails are often hoaxes. Furthermore, every time someone forwards the message, the recipients' e-mail addresses remained in the message's header, and those addresses easily can end up in the hands of spammers (if, for instance, one of the recipients has an address-harvesting virus on his computer).
I will not be able to check my e-mail for some time. Should I use an "out-of-office" autoresponder?
No. This can cause a problem colloquially known as "autoresponder hell", where two e-mail accounts, both set to autorespond, send each other thousands of "out-of-office" notifications. Additionally, if a spammer receives an "out-of-office" message from your account, that only confirms your e-mail address, thereby inviting more spam.
Alumni Email Accounts
Upon graduation or transfer from Bethany, alumni can retain their email accounts and addresses indefinitely by simply continuing to use the account.

If you can't wait for schlockmeister Roger Corman's upcoming Sharktopus flick, then we've got good news. As an appetizer, he's bringing out Dinoshark (pictured) on Syfy on March 13. Now we've got the backstory on both shark epics.
THR has the full scoop from Corman himself. About Dinoshark, he says:
Global warming causes the glaciers to break apart. We start the picture with real beautiful shots of the glaciers falling into the ocean. The unborn egg of the Dinoshark that has been frozen for millions of years is released.
Shades of Godzilla. We are psyched.
But he's reserved his real imaginative powers to explain Sharktopus. THR writes:
"'Sharktopus!' is more difficult because you can imagine a prehistorical crocodile like the Dinocroc, but there's no such thing as prehistoric half-shark, half-octopus," Corman said. "I tried to figure out how to do this."
The solution? The U.S. Navy has commissioned a group called Blue Water to genetically engineer a half-shark, half-octopus to help combat Somali pirate ships. Then things go wrong.
"It's fairly difficult to believe, but we only ask the audience to accept this one thing," he said. "After that, we take great care that everything else is logical from then on and is something that could happen."
Corman has created a biopunk version of the megashark movie. Fucking genius.
My only remaining question is: Would Dinoshark kick Sharkopus' finny ass? Or vice versa?

[Lupe Fiasco]
Well, first she had on baby clothes
Then she had on young lady clothes
Mom tried to keep her out the sexy clothes
Prom night she wore dressy clothes
Took her all night to get ready for
Retro now she want 80′s clothes
No colleges no scholarships so she put on some Navy clothes
Pregnant now its bigger clothes
Delivered now back in littler clothes
Different girl when the liquor flow
Stripper name, stripper clothes
Stripper pose on stripper poles
Then take off her stripper clothes
Right in front them gigolos
Cocaine where she stick her nose
Burnt out, turned out, bull dyke now she walk around in niggas' clothes
Turned out now she walk around in niggas clothes
Out the sad, out the bad
Goodwill got to give her clothes
Oh the humanity, like that burning dirigible
Richard Pryor lit on fire, she can't tell what fit no more
Who are you now?
It's like everyday you change
Who are you now
Your style, your clothes, your name
Who are you now
So who are you now
Who are you now
Who are you now
So you spend all your time to fit in line
To fit in the crowd and even in your mirror's eyes
Yourself you can't identify
And just like the Energizer rabbit
You just be spinning round
And as it intensifies, your life it de-materializes
Today's stylings, injecting like a virus
From TV screens to your iris
You buy what you are provided with
Whatever your size is
You lay it flat then iron it
And if you fight it, its like David verse Goliath
Cause that skin you supposed to hide it
Dress it up and deny it
Can't even go natural no more cause if do you probably won't get hired
So tell me who's lying
If I am, I'm lying
On the ground but I'm flying
And they still tryna find me
Who are you now
It's like everyday you change
Who are you now
Your style your clothes your name
Who are you now
So who are you now
Who are you now
Who are you now

From the Lasers cutting-room floor (and yet – so much better than several songs on the album!)
Lupe released the song in its unfinished state, with space for a third verse in the song. Lupe has said he wanted to get either Janelle Monae or CeeLo Green to do the third verse on the song.
Lupe says he wanted to give a song away (at no extra charge) for the tru fans (download the track at Iron Lungs)

What are the crystalline realizations of Artin motives?
In a paper by Kisin and Wortmann, "A note on Artin motives" (google it and you'll find it immediately), they define a suitable category of motives incorporating crystalline realization in analogy with Deligne's absolute Hodge cycles. However, they don't say explicitly what these realizations are (or at least I couldn't find it). Or can I find it somewhere else?

Melbourne's Apartment Boom Fades
Flat future for Melbourne's apartments
Simon Johanson
Published: November 7, 2012 - The Age Newspaper
http:// theage.domain.com.au/real-estate-news/flat-future-for-melbournes-apartments-20121107-28x7z.html
The number of cranes dominating Melbourne's skyline looks set to dwindle as the city's apartment boom fades, figures reveal.
But buyers who owned an apartment over the past 32 years will have seen their investment outperform the stockmarket.
Returns on units and townhouses since 1980 averaged 8.3 per cent a year, compared with 7.3 per cent for the top 200 listed companies, analysis by Oliver Hume Real Estate Group shows.
''It just shows that the 'set and forget' nature of property can provide excellent returns - but it also highlights the volatile nature of the ASX,'' researcher Andrew Perkins said.
Despite recent concerns that high-rise buildings are dominating the city, the overall number of units being offered to buyers has slumped dramatically. New apartment releases have fallen to only 6900 so far this year to September, well down from last year's peak of 14,400, the figures show.
Oliver Hume predicts a total of only 9000 units will be released this year. Two years ago, 11,200 apartments were on the market.
Not all of those will be built, either, as banks require developers to get at least 70 per cent of a building sold before they release construction funding.
''Things have slowed down without a shadow of doubt in terms of new projects,'' said Robert Papaleo, director of economics firm Charter Keck Cramer.
''After having run so hard for so long, it was going to run out of puff,'' Mr Papaleo said.
A surge in foreign developers and buyers operating in Melbourne had resulted in apartments ''being seen as a global investment opportunity'', he said.
Of the 285 apartment projects under way in Melbourne, about half have begun construction, Oliver Hume's figures show. Several of those are high-profile skyscrapers in the city.
Construction has started on a soaring, 55-level glass tower on the corner of Elizabeth and A'Beckett streets. The architecturally striking, 173-metre-high edifice named MY80 will have a private rooftop nightclub-bar and lounge on the 53rd floor and is being developed by a Malaysian firm, Mammoth Empire Group.
Chinese developer Hengyi Australia has sold more than 70 per cent of a former office at 199 William Street and has started to refurbish the building.
Census data shows multi-unit buildings make up about 26 per cent of Sydney's total housing stock. By contrast, in Melbourne it's only 15 per cent.
''There would seem to be room for further growth in apartments' share in the years ahead,'' Oliver Hume researcher Andrew Perkins said.
Several big projects soon to be finalised will boost the number of apartments available over the next few months, Mr Papaleo said.

New info on Roberts confession
Roberts Confession Declared A Hoax
Store operator released
Thursday, December 13, 2012
By Kelly Shackleton
Oxford Eagle
Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's Department officials declared Wednesday afternoon that the murder confession of Melvin Roberts, the owner and operator of Melvin's Nite Owl, has been ruled a hoax.
Officials declined to comment further except to say that Mr. Roberts's so-called confession was "a mixture of fantasy and delusion" and "had several inconsistencies in regard to the facts of the crime."
Roberts turned himself in to the Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's Department on Dec. 3 and confessed to the murder of Oxford Eagle managing editor Monica Drum, citing as his motive a series of articles Drum wrote about Roberts's previous arrest for rape and his subsequent trial, which ended with his acquittal.
When he confessed, Roberts reportedly said his business and personal life had been ruined by the negative publicity and that he had plotted for several years to kill Drum if a chance arose.
Now Roberts has been released into the custody of medical professionals to receive treatment of what officials are calling his "delusions."
No further explanation was given by officials, but sources inside the department say investigators were concerned after talking to Roberts at length, and it became obvious that Roberts knew very few real details about the crime.
Rick Hughes, who published an open letter to the Oxford public last week explaining his involvement in the case, is reportedly still being sought for questioning. In the letter, which was posted on the local blog "Oxford Weekly Planet," Hughes publicly declared his innocence and said that, although he did have a long-standing romantic relationship with Drum, he had no involvement in her death.
The Drum-Hughes relationship stretches back to 2010, when they began dating. Hughes, who joined the newspaper staff in 2004, is currently on unpaid leave from the Oxford Eagle.
Hughes's attorney, Mark McGhee, was unavailable for comment, but McGhee's office staff say he is aware of this latest development in the Drum murder investigation.

STOCKTON - Cautious optimism.
STOCKTON - Cautious optimism.
That's how one of the larger independent family practice medical offices views what lies ahead for health care in San Joaquin County.
HT Family Practice of Stockton is much like the rest of its peers not just locally but also around the nation that have been preparing to work at the front lines of health reform.
As 2014 dawns and tens of thousands of formerly uninsured residents of San Joaquin County gain health insurance - whether through the private sector, the state exchange or expanded Medi-Cal - it's the medical providers who will be expected to meet the growing demand for services.
HT Family Practice administrator Erik Hill said he is "cautiously optimistic those people will show up."
His caution comes from the "ugly" lack of understanding, the battles when trying to deal with insurance companies ("just getting through on the phone can be impossible") and changing rules, and the frustrations of patients and consumers.
The optimism, Hill says, is "because we want this to work. It's not our role to get in the middle."
In anticipation of increased patient volumes, HT Family Practice led by Hill's wife, Dr. Raissa Hill, took the major step of adding two more physicians to its staff for a total of five.
"There are just a lot of patients out there that don't have a doctor. We want to make sure we can see the patients we have and maintain quality of care. If it drops our level of service, that wouldn't be good," Raissa Hill said.
In another six months, Erik Hill anticipates, the practice will be recruiting even more providers as patient volumes increase.
Community Medical Centers, a large network of nonprofit health clinics based in Stockton that treats patients who are mostly uninsured or receiving Medi-Cal, has been preparing for significant increases for some time.
It recently implemented an electronic medical records system that eliminates the old paper file and places a computer terminal in every exam room.
"That is where the world is heading, and I think that's a good thing," interim Chief Executive Officer Sandy Haskins said.
With many more people gaining insurance, "Community Medical Centers will start getting paid for those patients," Haskins said, noting that as of last month, "we haven't seen a big uptick in patient volume."
But that hasn't stopped CMC from planning a new clinic in east Stockton - a drastically underserved area - and putting a high priority on hiring new providers.
"We have a need now for additional practitioners. Certainly the increases in volume will come from the new clinic" estimated to serve 7,000 patients, Haskins said.
One major unknown: "We can't tell how many people are out there who have not tried to get care because they don't have coverage. That, in a way, will be a test of the whole notion. We will see," Haskins said.
A new initiative addressing one of the county's most pervasive health problems, diabetes, is just taking root this year, sparked by the efforts of Dr. Kwabena Adubofour of the East Main Clinic & Stockton Diabetes Intervention Center.
It's the realization that the region's dismal outcomes related to diabetes, consistently among the worst in California, won't start improving without changing the approach hospitals take to treatment.
With the full backing of the San Joaquin Medical Society, Adubofour has created the San Joaquin County Hospitals Diabetes Special Interest Group, whose aim is to develop and share best practices in diabetes care now being practiced at some hospitals with all the hospitals in the county.
The group is envisioned to include hospital management, physicians, nurses, diabetes educators, pharmacists and social workers from all seven acute hospitals. Adubofour said the group "aims to decrease the extent of variability in diabetes management that contributes to higher diabetes-related mortality in San Joaquin County hospitals."

We love to go to the Marine Science Center. It is so much fun and teaches the boys a lot about our Marine Creatures, Birds and their habitats. It shows how others care enough to nurture hurt animals back to health.
It is a place where ill and injured Sea Turtles, Birds, and Marine Life are taken. Some are released when well…others find this their forever home.
The Boys had an Amazing time! They looked at native birds that were being nurtured back to health. Saw Injured Sea Turtles that may one day be released back into the ocean. Were able to pet a pine snake. Saw different species of sea creatures and corals. But the Best and most Treasured event of the day was being able to pet Sting Rays! The Boys were full of wonderment and delight as they pet the curious, prehistoric looking Sea Creature.

Results and Outcomes
A Jesuit university, Saint Joseph's educates men and women who use their education to make the world better. A student in Saint Joseph's first class of 1851 became a justice of the United State Supreme Court. Today there are approximately 50,000 living Saint Joseph's alumni in law, medicine, business, finance, communications and education -- strengthening their professions and their communities in every part of the world.
At Saint Joseph's, humanities and social sciences form the backbone of the Jesuit liberal arts core. As such, graduates in these fields – from English and history to political science and area studies to psychology and fine arts – enjoy careers in the widest variety of professions. Positions in communications and technology are common outcomes, as are graduate studies in business, law and education. Alumni in these fields are outstanding speakers, writers and advocates for public and private sector issues, and typically rise to significant leadership roles in both civic and corporate settings. Graduates can be found in elected office, senior management positions and throughout the mass media.
Careers And Mentoring
Students looking for guidance in planning their careers or finding internships and jobs after graduation have an invaluable resource at their disposal: approximately 50,000 living Saint Joseph's alumni in business and other professions. Each year, hundreds of locally-based SJU graduates volunteer as mentors for recent alums, helping to ease the transition from college to professional life. They also meet individually with students to help them define career goals, learn first-hand about professional opportunities and challenges, as well as land that critical "first job." Other alumni return to campus frequently to teach or provide specialized mentoring opportunities.

Parallel Molecular Dynamics (MD) code that models surfactant structures in water and at liquid/solid interfaces.

Experimentally, great strides have been made in understanding surfactant aggregation. Those experimental studies, however, have produced little insight into understanding the behavior of surfactants at the molecular level; the mechanics of which are still to be explored. Consequently, new developments in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation have been directed toward this area of study. This research examines dilute and concentrated surfactant systems at the solid-liquid interface. MD simulations are run to study dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C12TAB) surfactants and micelles in water, on silica and graphite surfaces, and during indentation. Surfactants have been used for dispersion in detergents, paints, pharmaceutics, and microelectronics such as in chemical mechanical polish (CMP) processing of silicon wafers.
